At this time, the reporters' mouths were like machine guns and kept asking questions, and the "long guns and short cannons" in their hands kept shooting at Li Zetian!
"Excuse me, Chronos li, how did you come up with the idea of creating Apple?"
"How many shares do you own in Apple?"
"Is it true that Apple is preparing to go public?"
"… "
People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong!
Li Zetian looked at the surging reporters and couldn't help laughing bitterly, but this kind of thing would come sooner or later, and he couldn't escape.
Li Zetian organized the language, and then said: "I discovered Intel's 8080 microprocessor by chance, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, I thought, I can make a microcomputer! So, I established Apple and developed the first generation of personal computer Apple-l. However, in the development process, I encountered many difficulties, first of all, I did not have enough funds to support my development of Apple-l project, in order to To get investment, I looked for dozens of venture capital, but none of them were willing to invest in me. Just when I was desperate, a company called Umbrella promised me to invest 300,000 US dollars, but asked me to sell 60% of the shares I thought about it again and again, and finally agreed!" Li Zetian originally planned to let Umbrella company take full ownership. He personally didn't take any shares, but he felt it was too fake. A founder had no shares in his hands. 40% of the shares. Of course, there are many ways to make one's own shares scarce and unattractive, such as establishing a few more overseas offshore companies and then transferring them to them, so that the shares on the bright side will naturally be less.
When the reporters heard this, they couldn't help but envy the good luck of Umbrella company. The initial investment of 300,000 US dollars, a year later, the return rate is as high as several hundred times or even thousands of times! This is probably the most exciting venture capital investment in American business history! ! !
There is no doubt that from this moment, the Umbrella company began to rise to fame!
Li Zetian continued: "The funding problem was temporarily resolved, but the development of the Apple-l project was not smooth sailing. After we spent $300,000, we finally made the Apple-l. However, we took it to Time Magazine. Society, I was in big trouble when I hoped to get their help! There was a big bug in the Apple-l personal computer. At that time, as soon as the computer was turned on, the computer burned! Oh, my God, this was undoubtedly the Devastating! We had to find the Apple-l bug and redesign it, but we're running out of money and money!!!"
When Li Zetian said this, he deliberately stopped and looked at the reporters, and found that these reporters were all attracted by his half-truth stories!
Li Zetian smiled secretly, and then said: "Is Apple going to end? Yes, I really thought so at the time. When I was desperate, it was my fiancee who helped me! She not only stayed by my side to encourage me, but even helped me. He gave me all his savings for more than ten years! Although it was only $100,000, it was undoubtedly the last straw for Apple at the time! It can be said that without the support of my fiancee, it might be possible There would be no me and Apple today!!!”
Saying that, Li Zetian hugged Yu Jingqiu tightly and kissed her affectionately, unaware that he was embarrassed to throw dog food in front of all the reporters!
Yu Jingqiu's cheeks were slightly red, looking a little shy, but at the same time she felt extremely happy.
You know, after this interview is over, the video footage will probably be broadcast in the United States, or even the world, and all the audience in front of the TV will see Li Zetian kissing her.
The reporters did not expect that Apple's development process would be so tortuous. It's really not easy! At this moment, everyone watched Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu embracing affectionately, and couldn't help but express their blessings to them, especially for Jingqiu, they nodded in praise.
"As the saying goes 'behind a successful man there must be a great woman', this is true!!!"
"Yeah, I really envy Chronos li with such a woman behind her!"
"Men's talents and women's appearance, a natural pair!"
"That's right!"
"… "
Hearing their voices, Yu Jingqiu's ears turned red.
Li Zetian let go of Yu Jingqiu's mouth at this time, turned to look at the reporter, and continued: "Apple-l finally succeeded, becoming the world's first personal computer, and bringing huge revenue to Apple. Although When my fiancée gave me $100,000, she didn't say anything, but I regarded the $100,000 as financing Apple, so the board decided to give her 10% of the shares! I think she definitely has the qualifications Get the 10% stake!"
clap clap clap!
The reporters couldn't help but applaud!
"As for everyone asking about Apple's listing... In fact, I also have this plan, but the specific situation is kept secret for the time being, so I have no comment!"
The reporter asked: "Chronos·li, Wall Street has valued Apple at $1 billion. Do you think this valuation is reasonable?"
"I believe that Apple's market value will definitely be more than $1 billion!!!" Li Zetian said firmly, then clapped his hands and said loudly, "Okay, everyone, this is the end of today's interview, please don't bother anymore. Me and my family! I won't answer any more questions!" Li Zetian said.
Seeing that they could no longer ask any questions, the reporters withdrew one after another.
As soon as the reporter left, the neighbors next door came again. When the reporters were interviewing, they stood at the door eavesdropping.
The convenience store aunt was shocked. The market value of Apple is 1 billion, and Yu Jingqiu owns 10% of the shares, which is 100 million US dollars. My mother, I didn’t expect that Yu Jingqiu, the daughter of the owner of the fast food restaurant next door, is also a billionaire! Oh my gosh, I introduced my son to her before!
When the convenience store aunt thought of this, she felt very embarrassed and didn't dare to look into Yu Jingqiu's eyes. She used to think that Yu Jingqiu was hypocritical. Isn't she beautiful? What's so amazing? She is not the daughter of a small fast food restaurant owner. Her son is a white-collar worker in the company and earns a salary of $1,000 a month. But now it seems that his son's money is not even one ten thousandth of Yu Jingqiu's... let alone Yu Jingqiu's fiancé!
Alas, people are more mad than people!
Other people's children are younger than their own sons, but they become billionaires. How can their own sons be so useless...
The convenience store aunt shook her head and said in her heart that it would be better for her son to quit his job and start a business than to work for someone else, maybe he could become a billionaire!
…
In the news program that night, many American TV stations broadcast the video of the interview with Li Zetian this afternoon, which caused a sensation in the United States for a while.
Chen Ruoxi also watched this news interview. After reading it, she roared like crazy, and smashed things, and after a while, the whole house was in a mess.
In the end, she sat down on the bed, her hair was disheveled, her eyes were staring at the ceiling, and she muttered to herself: "Li Zetian actually gave Yu Jingqiu 10% of the shares of Apple, which is worth 100 million US dollars! No, that 100 million US dollars It was supposed to be mine, it was mine! Yu Jingqiu stole my $100 million..."
If Chen Ruoxi knew that 10% of Apple's shares would far exceed 100 million US dollars in the future, or even exceed the market value of Wang An Computer, maybe she would go crazy...
