I lost my vegetative state, and I became the richest man in the world

Chapter 542 Target Pingguo Company!

According to Yang Ming's salary, 50 people is also a large salary.

In Yang Ming's opinion, it was worth it.

After Yang Ming handed over the company affairs to Yuan Tianfan, Langdon, Navia, and Tim Patterson, Yang Ming did not stay.

Leave here by car and return to Connor Manor.

Yang Ming set his sights on the second target.

Pingguo Company.

In 1976, Jobs successfully persuaded Woz to sell with him while assembling the machine. Another friend of theirs, Luo Wayne, also joined, and the three formed Pinguo Computer Company on April 1976, 4.

In May of the same year, Jobs negotiated with The Byte Shop, a local computer store. The owner, Paul Tyrell, ordered 5 devices that would later be called the Apple I and paid $50 each for delivery.

After obtaining the order, Jobs sold his valuables to raise funds, and persuaded the manager of the store credit department of Cramer Electronics, a large electronic parts distributor, to pay for the parts first, and finally Jobs successfully completed the transaction. In January 1977, Pingguo Computer Company was officially registered as Pingguo Computer Company.

In the same year, Woz has successfully designed Apple II which is more advanced than Apple I.

Jobs wanted to expand the company and borrow from the bank, but Wayne withdrew because of the psychological shadow caused by the failure of risky investment (another theory is that Wayne chose to give up crazy work for his health).

At that time, Pingguo Computer Company lacked funding sources.

Jobs finally met Mike Markkula, who injected $9.2 and jointly signed a $25 bank loan with Jobs.

Yang Ming then reviewed the financing process of the previous Pingguo Company, the equity structure before listing and the company's rights structure over the years.

On April 1976, 4, the shares created by Pingguo were 1% owned by founder Jobs, 45% by Woz, and 45% by Wayne; shortly after Wayne withdrew from the partnership, Jobs repurchased its shares for $10.

1976年8月马库拉入伙9.1万美元，当时计划股权结构为乔布斯26%，沃兹26%，马库拉26%；剩下22%用来吸引新的投资者。

On January 1977, 1, Xinpingguo Company was established, with a shareholding structure of Jobs 3%, Woz 30%, Markkula 30%, and Engineering Holt 30%.

However, this balanced shareholding structure is the foreshadowing of Jobs being swept out in the future.

At the end of 1979, Pingguo introduced pre-listing mezzanine financing, with a total of 16 investors including Xerox, Rothschild, Untenberg, Towbin, Brentwood Capital, and some individual investors.

Until December 1980, 12, Pingguo’s IPO, after the IPO, Jobs, the largest shareholder, had a diluted shareholding ratio of about 12%; the second largest shareholder, Markkula, held about 15 million shares, accounting for about 700% %; the third largest shareholder Woz holds 11.4 million shares, accounting for about 400%.

That is to say, from the establishment of Pingguo Company by Jobs and Woz, it was very difficult when Pingguo Company was just established at the earliest time, because there was no sales volume and it was difficult to obtain financing.

At the end of last year, after the introduction of capital and investors, the most difficult time has passed. Historically, it will go public at the end of this year.

In other words, under the current circumstances, it is basically impossible for Yang Ming to acquire or completely swallow Pingguo Company.

With Jobs' character, I am afraid that it is impossible to sell Pingguo Company easily.However, it does not mean that Pingguo Company does not need financing.

For any company in Silicon Valley, as long as it has not actually gone public, it hopes to raise as much money as possible, obtain more funds for development, and reduce risks.

Yang Ming is very optimistic about Pingguo Company.

Yang Ming also admired Jobs, the founder of Pingguo Company.

However, it was rather late.

Pingguo Company was established in 1976, before Yang Ming came to this world.

In other words, although it is impossible to acquire or swallow Pingguo Company now, it is still necessary to finance the other party and get as many shares or original shares as possible.

In Yang Ming's view, the most important person in Pingguo Company is Jobs.

If Pingguo Company left Jobs, it might not be possible to have Jobs at all.Therefore, whether it is financing or dealing with Jobs in advance, it is considered good.

Yang Ming came back here.

Yang Ming asked Lin Dezhong to send an invitation letter to Jobs.

Jobs should have worked for Pingguo Company.

For Pingguo Company, even if Lin Dezhong doesn't know where it is, he can still find out if he asks someone.

Now Pingguo Company can be regarded as one of Google's relatively large companies.

When Lin Dezhong and his servants drove the invitation letter to Jobs in person.

. . .

City of Cupertino.

It is also known as the heart of Silicon Valley, and later became famous because of the headquarters of Pingguo Company.

Here at the headquarters of Pingguo Company.

Now a white man wearing glasses, gentle and about the same age as Yang Ming is at work.

He was Jobs, the founder of the famous Pingguo Company in the technology industry.

At this time, Jobs was wearing a black sweater and jeans, and was in his office.

At the end of last year, he was invited to participate in the headquarters of Xerox Corporation, and was very shocked by the technology of Xerox Corporation headquarters. Since then, he feels that the development of Pingguo Company is somewhat different from the past.

Before, it was very difficult for Pingguo to raise funds and sales were not good. Compared with IBM, it was really far behind.

The entrepreneurial pressure in that situation can be imagined.

After signing the financing agreement with the sixteen capital and individual investors at the end of last year, I breathed a sigh of relief, and now I am also seeking to go public, so as to obtain more financing for Pingguo Company.

at this time.

There was a knock on his office door.

"Mr. Jobs, a housekeeper who claims to be Sir Yang has come to visit you."

Sir Yang?
For a while, Jobs didn't react.

"He said that Sir Yang is Mr. Yang, the chairman of Xiangjiang Empire Group."

If you want to talk about Mr. Yang, the chairman of Xiangjiang Empire Group, Jobs immediately reacted, and his expression immediately changed.

Jobs remembered that Imperial Group seemed to want to order a batch of computers from Pingguo Company, but later gave up for some unknown reason and ordered a batch of office computers from IBM instead. Jobs regretted that he failed to seize this large order.

There are so many groups under the Empire Group, involving more than one million employees, even if only a part of the management uses computers, the sales volume is very huge.

Jobs rushed out to greet him.

He soon saw a middle-aged man.

It was Lin Dezhong who came.

"Hi, are you Mr. Jobs?"

"I am, you are Sir Yang's butler?"

"Yes, my name is Lin Dezhong. I am sending you an invitation letter for Sir Yang."

Lin Dezhong gave the invitation letter to Jobs.

Jobs hurriedly took it to look at it, and it turned out that Sir Yang, the chairman of the Imperial Group, really invited him to the Connor Manor to meet and chat.

Sir Yang, chairman of Imperial Group, actually came to Silicon Valley?

And he didn't know it!
