20 years of restarting life

Chapter 2795 Mike's Change

After arriving in Seattle, Zhao Changan did not stay long. He waited there for two days, completed the financial procedures, and then completed the share mortgage financing contract with Jim, using US$4 million to obtain % of BlackBerry's pledged equity.

Then he held a brief meeting with Li Xin, Zhou Kexin, Zeng Hao, Li Mei, Yang Yixin, and Jiang Xuesi, the core members from China, to divide and coordinate their respective powers and division of labor, and then left Seattle and flew to Toronto.

At this point, Nanometer already holds 29.86% of BlackBerry's shares, becoming the undisputed largest shareholder.

BlackBerry's current real-time stock price is US$24.11, with a market value of 1200 billion RMB.

Zhao Changan remembered that in his previous life, BlackBerry's stock price had peaked at over $120 (actually $148). So, based on this calculation, just with BlackBerry, Zhao Changan would be able to easily enter the billion asset club in the future.

Of course, the prerequisite is that he did not kick Jim out of BlackBerry, and chose to make money without doing anything. However, when the iPhone came out in 07, he cleared out all his shares.

At that time, the exchange rate between the RMB and the US dollar was 7.73, so he could take away about 1600 billion RMB.

But Zhao Changan's ambition is obviously not limited to that. Just like a big boss once said, I have too much money, so I am not interested in money. Zhao Changan is of course very interested in money, but what he needs is a lot of money to support his dream of building a strong country in science and technology, not just for the number of money.

There are differences between people.

Zhao Changan is lustful, cunning, treacherous, cruel and ruthless. He will turn his back on people and change his face faster than turning the pages of a book.

Many people looked down on him and thought that he was lucky. In this era when even a pig can fly if it stands in the wind, he met great benefactors such as Shan Qiang, Tang Wenxuan, Xu Guanghua, as well as Ji Zhenqian, Feng Jianfei, Duan Fengqing, Guo Wanqiu, and Liu Changming.

In addition, he is handsome, can sing and write, and has a little bit of talent, so he has achieved the luck he has today.

Since Zhao Changan came to Mingzhu, the Jurassic Park he built has been sold, ABC Navigation has been sold, the shares of Yinlong Cement have been sold, Tianyue Future Mobile Phones withdrew halfway, Green Park Group almost withdrew from business management and mortgaged all its shares, One Nano-Alcatel Mobile Phone Factory also withdrew from the controlling stake, and the shares of Imagination Holdings were also mortgaged. The integrated circuit design center that had been making a lot of noise but little action for several years moved from Mingzhu to Jiangcheng, and now it has only enclosed a piece of land and built a building, with no results or progress. The smartphone operating system project team was established, but it has been a year and there has been no news. -

At present, Yinnano is engaged in domestic Internet games, Internet shopping, Internet instant messaging and its music, literature, chess and card game clients, portal websites, agricultural planting and tourism, automobiles, three-wheeled motorcycles, two-wheeled electric vehicles, traditional Chinese medicine, auto parts, and the mobile phone industry.

It feels like a hodgepodge, with a lot of things scattered around without any purpose.

However, if we analyze the trajectory of his rise, he has never been a money-grubbing person.

Although many of his current actions are incomprehensible, it seems that up to now, Zhao Changan has never used how much money he makes as a criterion for whether to do something or not.

In fact, this is also the reason why many people cannot understand why Tang Wenxuan, Qi Xiu, Xu Guanghua, Liu Changming, including Sui Changhong and Chu Daofeng now, are so supportive of Zhao Changan.

Because they saw that Zhao Changan, at least in the field they were focusing on, was never after money. For example, between him and Shanghai International Studies University, he initially invested in the translation of excellent African and domestic literature by Shanghai International Studies University Translation Agency and provided it free of charge to African universities and libraries.

Then, we cooperated with Shanghai International Studies University and Lin'an Agricultural University to invest in Confucius Institute and Laozi Institute. At Zhao Changan's request, these institutes, in addition to teachers who impart China's profound cultural etiquette, also have to have outstanding personnel who are proficient in planting, breeding, and cooking, so as to carry out subtle cultural exchanges.

Liu Changming was deeply moved by Zhao Changan's internationalist spirit to achieve civilization and prosperity for the African people. He also understood Zhao Changan's great compassion for the world, so he spared no effort to help Zhao Changan and Yinnano in the past two years.

Because Zhao Changan works so hard and never does it for his own enjoyment.

As a man, the animalistic enjoyment is nothing more than eating delicious food, playing with beautiful women, and living in a mansion where it is spring all year round.

If it was just for this, there would be no need for Zhao Changan to work so hard.

Because they know that in the heart of this young man, there is a passionate dream of making the country a strong one!

When they arrived in Toronto, Qi Xidong and Mike met them at the airport, and Zhao Changan gave Mike a big hug.

The three then drove away from the airport and returned to Waterloo.

It was already November 26th in the Gregorian calendar, just one month away from Christmas in the West, and the red leaves along the way were like burning mountains.

The three of them chatted and laughed, relaxing for the short distance ahead.

"These days I have gradually figured it out. The original purpose of Doug and I founding RIM was Research In Motion (continuous research and creation), but we have never really figured out the purpose of research and creation.

Money, social status and reputation, recognition from parents, admiration from women, a superior living environment, and the realization of personal ideals and self-worth? Thinking about it now, it should have been the realization of personal ideals and self-worth.

  Mike said: "But this is still a broad concept. Personal ideals and self-worth are to create some new devices for rich people to use, and then gain money, social status and reputation, parental approval and the admiration of women - these things?

RIM was not successful at first, and even faced acquisition and bankruptcy. At that time, neither of us was qualified to talk about feelings. How to keep the company alive was the most important task.

Jim's joining gave the company a chance to survive, and he positioned RIM as the 'business and political elite'. It was this differentiated label that made RIM's products recognized by these elites in North America, allowing them to be sold at a high enough price and successfully listed, earning us wealth and fame far beyond our imagination."

Mike said: "Until recently, I was still insisting on this direction and thought it was right. Last weekend, I went shopping in Toronto with my wife and children. At the RIM counter, several young people from the University of Toronto gathered in front of the counter for a long time and talked a lot. They wanted to buy RIM 6230 and RIM's PDA. They liked the high technology contained in our products. However, the high price and the monthly membership fee for using PushMail made them choose to leave.

  Since then, I have been thinking, maybe what you said is right, Changan, technology is to serve the general public, and should not be a tool for a few rich and powerful people to label and distinguish them from ordinary people. Then what is the difference between me and the stewards and knights of the ancient slave owners and feudal lords, and the eunuchs in your country at that time?

I find that I no longer want those managers to like and use our products, but I prefer more people to use, like and recognize our products, so that they become popular, rather than exclusive to a few people. "
