The penniless son of the penniless ...

Chapter 190: Jobs was persuaded (more)
When negotiating the investment details with the other party, Mugur Hosking adhered to the strong belief of not giving in, and did not make any concessions because of his previous flattery of Jobs.

This also brought the negotiations to a standstill at this moment. Neither Jobs nor the representatives of Goldman Sachs said anything, and seemed to be lost in thought.

Mugur Hosking, on the other hand, remained quite calm. He had done a thorough investigation before coming here. He knew that Apple had been in frequent contact with investment institutions recently, which clearly indicated that it had financial problems.

At present, apart from Goldman Sachs and Comet Capital on its own, no other financial institution has expressed any goodwill to Apple or has any intention of assisting them.

Under such circumstances, no matter how reluctant Apple's shareholders are, they will eventually agree to this seemingly unfriendly investment plan because of lack of money.

But none of this matters. The initiative is now in their hands, and Apple has no other way out. Even if the demands they put forward are a bit harsh, the final outcome has been predetermined!
……

After several minutes, Jobs, the interim CEO, still did not respond. He just smiled and said that he would submit the investment plan to the board of directors. As for whether that group of guys would agree to Comet Capital's investment, he could not guarantee it.

In response to this situation, Mugur Hosking smiled and nodded. When he looked at Jobs, he said something meaningful that seemed to indicate that he had taken sides in advance, which made Jobs's originally calm face break into a smile.

“I’m glad that Mr. Jobs can help make the connection. Of course, if Comet Capital can successfully become a shareholder of Apple in the future, we will firmly support the product development project led by Mr. Jobs. After all, an Internet technology company can only maintain its superiority by continuously developing new products and improving its product competitiveness.”

Jobs, who was a technical genius who was keen on product development, had no doubts about his attitude after hearing these suggestive words. He had high expectations for Comet Capital's participation. He even had the idea of ​​helping the other party convince the board of directors, but there were other people present so he couldn't reveal too much.

……

After the negotiations on investment and shareholding were concluded, the group left Apple's office with the other party's farewell.

Mitch Cabral, the representative of Goldman Sachs, could not help but ask Mugur Hosking about the fact that he had been desperately demanding shares during the negotiations, and that he had not given up. Would this really make the board of directors of Apple give in and agree?

It would be very difficult if they ended up making things worse and messed up what their two bosses behind the scenes had instructed them to do!
Mugur Hosking explained with a warm smile, "Don't worry, no matter how reluctant they are, they will eventually agree to our investment request. At most, there will be one or two more negotiations on the proportion of shares. After all, apart from us, they can't find another financial institution willing to invest so much money in Apple during this period of time!"

Hearing his companion's words, Mitch Cabral nodded doubtfully. Since this guy is so sure, he will report this to his boss (Leon John) after returning. Anyway, the main person in charge of this matter is Comet Capital where Mugur Hosking works. They are just following the boss's request to provide them with certain assistance.

If things go wrong, I guess he can't be blamed for it, right? Thinking of this, Mitch Cabral, who was a little nervous at first, quickly relaxed.

...The next morning, when Zhang Junfeng received a call from Mugur Hosking, he was in a very good mood. Since this time Jobs, the interim CEO, took the initiative to express his willingness to help submit the investment plan to the board of directors, the matter was half done.

Compared to when he founded Apple decades ago, the Internet technology tycoon Steve Jobs's methods have made a qualitative leap. It should not be too difficult for him to convince those profit-seeking board members.

Now that Apple has made some progress, the next step is to contact the two founders of Amazon and Google. As long as he can get a portion of the shares of these three Internet companies, he will be confident that he can survive the bursting of the financial bubble in the Internet industry in 2000.

(The main reason is that the current market value of these Internet companies is not high, and the companies may not even have been established yet. Even if a part of the funds are invested, he will not suffer too much loss.)
He could even have taken advantage of the global Internet crisis in 2000 to make a fortune while acquiring more shares in high-quality Internet companies.

When the Internet industry picks up in a few years and those unicorns in the Internet industry rise strongly, he can make a lot of money even if he just lies down, and his net worth will easily exceed tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of US dollars!
As for whether the Americans would do anything to him, a "new American" from foreign countries, Zhang Junfeng didn't care at all.

In America, a country where money is everything, as long as you have enough funds and actively integrate into those top financial groups, you can advance and retreat with them.

Even the politicians of the United States, the world's top superpower, would be polite to him, so who would be so blind as to cause trouble to him? He could make the whole family disappear by just throwing money at them!

In a society where capital is king, people with money can really do whatever they want! ()
……

After finishing the explanation with Mugur Hosking, Zhang Junfeng, who was in a good mood, quickly thought of Li Fuzhen, his bedmate. How boring it would be if he was the only one who knew such good news!

It was fun to make Li Fuzhen excited and look at me with admiration! And I could also make some "small requests" to speed up the task of having a baby!

……

Just as Zhang Junfeng arrived at Galaxy Group and headed straight for Li Fuzhen's office, he unexpectedly heard laughter coming from a nearby conference room.

Zhang Junfeng, who was somewhat curious, couldn't help but move closer and listened quietly at the door for a while. However, just this one action made Zhang Junfeng, who was originally in a good mood, suddenly furious.

It turned out that the people inside were Xin Dongbing, vice president of Yuetian Group, and several of his subordinates who came to visit Galaxy Group to seek cooperation.

The topics of their discussion were so obscene that it was difficult to describe them as such. The subjects ranged from ordinary female employees and female celebrities to Lee Boo-jin, the first female president in Goryeo history!
