Chapter 334 The largest shareholder

"I know, it's $800 million. As long as the agreement is signed, the money will be credited to Apple's account immediately." Wang Ye said calmly, then turned his head and gestured to Milner.

Milner understood it, opened a folder in front of him, and pushed it to Gang Master Qiao: "This is the proof of funds from the account of our Polar Bear Company in San Francisco. It is issued by Citibank and can be cashed at any time."

Joe's gang leader took it over and took a look, and it was true!

The certificate issued by Citibank clearly states that the San Francisco branch of Polar Bear Investment Company has a cash of 1.14 billion dollars in the company account!

These money are obviously earned by Wang Ye shorting US stocks...

After seeing the proof of funds, Gang Leader Qiao finally believed it. The young man on the opposite side was not just rhetoric, but really had strength!

You know, this is real cash!

Instead of all kinds of loan financing or something, it is cash that can be redeemed immediately!

"Well, I believe that Polar Bear Investment Company came with sincerity. There is no problem in theory. I will report to the board of directors and try my best to promote this investment!" Joe Gang said excitedly.

800 million US dollars!

With this money, Apple is saved!

Many of my own plans can also be implemented smoothly.

I have to say that for the current Apple company, this money is absolutely precious!

When looked at Wang Ye again, Gang Master Qiao's eyes were full of gratitude.

Cook was also overjoyed and said, "The company's stock expansion financing has been discussed by the company's board of directors last time, so there should be no problem. The basic plan is that the company will issue additional shares worth $800 million to your Polar Bear Company. , the procedure is relatively simple, just need to make an announcement.

In the United States, because of the highly developed finance, various financing and investment are also very convenient, and the procedures are also simple.

"Then, I wish us a happy cooperation." Wang Ye said cheerfully.

Gang Master Qiao had already stood up and stretched out his hand across the conference table.

Wang Ye also smiled and stood up, holding the hand of Gang Master Qiao tightly.

Today's negotiation went very smoothly. One lacks money and the other has money. It's just like firewood and fire. It's impossible to fail.

In addition, Wang Ye did not bargain, let alone robbery, and directly agreed to Apple's conditions, that is, to invest according to the current market value of Apple, without discounting.

Apple's current market value is $4.2 billion, the stock price is five dollars and a few cents, and the total share capital is 840 million.

To issue 160 million additional shares and sell them to Polar Bear Investment Company.

Then Apple, after private placement financing, has one billion shares, of which Polar Bear Investments owns 160 million shares, accounting for 16%!

Don't look at this ratio is not high, but in fact, it has become the largest shareholder of Apple!

Originally, Apple's largest shareholder was Fidelity Investments, which accounted for about 10% of the shares.

The second largest shareholder is Pioneer Group, with a share of 6.5%.

Among the top ten shareholders, all are institutional investors.

As for the founder of Apple, Gangzhu Qiao, how many shares does he hold?

No one may believe it, but Gang Master Qiao only has a symbolic share...

This is the reason why he sold all the shares in his hand when he left Apple.

Even if he returns to Apple now, although there is a share incentive policy in the contract, it has not been long since he came back, and the company's business has not really started, so he has not yet received the incentive shares.

In addition, it needs to be explained that the current annual salary of Joe Gang is a dollar...

Through the annual salary and shares, it can also be seen that this guy is really bearish on fame and fortune.

is completely fighting for his ideals...

Of course, he himself is not short of money.

After leaving Apple, Jobs founded NEXT and Pixar animation studio successively. In 1996, his personal net worth was as high as hundreds of millions of dollars.

However, when Apple was in trouble, why Joe Gang did not personally invest in the company and would rather introduce new shareholders, which is unknown.

After signing the letter of intent for cooperation, Milner needs to discuss some details with Cook and others.

And Mr. Qiao warmly invited Wang Ye, Katya and a professional translator brought by Wang Ye to sit in his office.

For his character, this is already a gesture of gratitude and recognition to Wang Ye.

Wang Ye of course accepted the invitation happily. Gang Master Qiao's office is definitely worth a visit.

After all, in Wang Ye's previous life, this was a true legend!

Gang Master Joe's office is not far from the conference room, not too far across the corridor.

opened the door, and Joe helped the master reach out and invite the three of them in.

This office is not large, with an area of 40 to 50 square meters, and the decoration is not luxurious at all.

It can even be said to be a bit rudimentary, with ordinary desks, simple-style chairs, messy books, stationery and various electronic products everywhere.

Joe helped the master reach out and pick up a few magazines from the sofa and put them aside, and said a little embarrassedly: "The office is a bit messy, please forgive me."

Wang Ye said with a smile: "Understood, those of you who are engaged in technology and those who are Internet companies have such a personality. This is called order in chaos, right, haha..."

After asking Wang Ye and the three to sit down, Gang Master Qiao brought three cans of iced Coke from the small refrigerator next to it, cherry-flavored, without asking Wang Ye and the three if they wanted to drink it...

In terms of dealing with people, he is indeed as rumoured, quite bad.

As soon as he sat down, Gang Master Qiao seemed to remember something, stood up again, went to a cabinet next to him, and took out a silver-white palm-sized thing.

Handed it to Wang Yedao: "Mikhail, look, this is the music player we just launched this year, IPOD!"

For this thing, Wang Ye has never really touched it before.

In his previous life, he also bought a few MP3s, but they were all traditional products like Patriot, Avery, and even earlier Sony Walkmans.

And the name of Apple's IPOD, he has only heard of it, but has not bought it.

Compare to when Apple launched this product, Wang Ye was in college, and he didn't have much money, so the price was not friendly to him.

Later, when there was money, IPOD basically withdrew from the stage of history. At that time, it was already the world of smartphones.

took it over and played with it. This thing is not small, it is much larger than the common MP3 on the market, and the texture is much better.

The shell is made of aluminum-magnesium alloy, which is cool and smooth.

Besides, Wang Ye knew that it was this gadget that completely saved Apple's life...
