Rebirth of the Financial Crisis Sweeping the World

Four hundred and eighty-two became Apple's major shareholder

So I called Zhang Xiaolei from Standard Chartered Bank and said that she wanted to repay the $2.5 billion bank loan from Standard Chartered Bank.

Zhang Xiaolei was shocked and asked: "Mr. Wang, it's so fast, I thought you wanted a longer loan."

When Wang Guanxi raised US$2.5 billion for Facebook, he didn’t have enough money, so he borrowed US$2.5 billion from Standard Chartered Bank, but he didn’t expect to pay it off in one go so soon.

"Mr. Wang, have you made a lot of money recently?"

Wang Guanxi smiled and said, "Well, yes, I recently made 8 billion US dollars, I have a lot of money, and I plan to repay the loan."

Zhang Xiaolei was shocked, and quickly said: "Mr. Wang, in fact, there is no need to rush to repay the loan, you can continue to invest."

Wang Guanxi thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's continue the loan for now."

Now that Zhang Xiaolei has said so, Wang Guanxi also agreed to continue to maintain the loan of 2.5 billion US dollars and continue to cooperate with Standard Chartered Bank.

This $2.5 billion loan belongs to Zhang Xiaolei's performance, and Zhang Xiaolei's idea of ​​continuing cooperation can also be understood.

"Mr. Zhang, I will keep this loan and invest it"

"Okay, happy cooperation." Zhang Xiaolei thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Wang, when are you going back to Hong Kong?"

The day after returning to Columbus from Los Angeles, she ended her business trip in the United States and returned to Hong Kong.

Wang Guanxi said: "In a few days, I just bought 70,000 acres of land, transformed the pasture, and established a university and a research institute to specialize in the study of human genes, human origin, and historical archeology, as well as biology and medicine. ···”

Zhang Xiaolei asked: "Okay then, we will meet again when you return to Hong Kong."

Wang Guanxi nodded: "ok"

After finishing the phone call with Zhang Xiaolei, Wang Guanxi also called Kenneth Lewis, the chairman of Bank of America Corporation.

Wang Guanxi said: "Mr. Lewis, I plan to pay off the loan from Bank of America Corporation at once."

Kenneth Lewis was shocked.

Wang Guanxi's fund owes US$4.2 billion in loans to Bank of America Corporation,

Mortgaged Ford Motor Company, and Citibank's equity.

Did he think that the loan would continue?

Pay it off now?

Is it too urgent?

He himself hopes that Wang Guanxi can continue to borrow money.

Such a high-quality customer is also a major shareholder of Bank of America Corporation. With this large loan, Kenneth Lewis naturally hopes to continue to cooperate.

Then he said: "Mr. Wang, you are also a major shareholder of Bank of America Corporation. The loan of 4.2 billion US dollars can be repaid in no hurry. Now Bank of America Corporation has sufficient funds. If you still want to borrow money, we can do it." give you a loan"

Wang Guanxi said with a smile: "I don't need a loan for the time being."

Kenneth Lewis said again: "Mr. Wang, you can use it to continue investing. When you still want to get a loan in the future, you don't need to go through the loan procedures again."

"We can maintain cooperation all the time. You are also a major shareholder of Bank of America, and you can increase the performance of Bank of America."

Bank of America Corporation is a giant bank that belongs to the California consortium. Wang Guanxi is also a major shareholder of Bank of America. He has considerable influence in Ohio, Silicon Valley in California, and Hawaii. Everyone can continue.

Wang Guanxi thought for a while and said, "Well, I will continue to maintain the loan of 4.2 billion US dollars, and we can cooperate more in the future."

Kenneth Lewis smiled and said: "Okay, Mr. Wang, happy cooperation"

After the phone call, Wang Guanxi wondered how to use the money.

After thinking about it, he plans to buy Apple's stock.

In the future, Apple will be the world's largest company in terms of market value, with a market value of more than 2.5 trillion US dollars, which is very scary.

At present, the stock price of Apple is at 163 US dollars per share, and there is no stock split. In the future, 1 share will be split into 7 shares, and then 1 share will be split into 4 shares.

One share now is equal to 28 shares in the future.

Wang Guanxi's No. 1 fund began to buy Apple's stock in the market, and also bought from some financial institutions.

In the end, he bought 40 million shares of Apple at a price of US$165, which cost US$6.6 billion and left US$100 million.

The $100 million is used as daily operating capital.

As for interest, you can borrow short-term loans to support loans, and enjoy the wealth appreciation brought by Apple's stock.

In the future, Apple's market value will be as high as 2.5 trillion US dollars.

The current 40 million shares, after two stock splits, will become 1.12 billion shares, worth $168 billion at that time.

Fund No. 1 now holds a 6.78% stake in Apple.

Luo Baowen asked: "Boss, our 6.78% stake is also a major shareholder, and this Apple company does not adopt a dual-shareholding structure. Do we need to appoint directors?"

Apple was founded on April 1, 1976.

Share distribution, founders Jobs (45%), Woz (45%), Luo Wayne (10%); soon after Wayne withdrew from the partnership, Jobs repurchased his shares for $800.

In August 1976, Markkula took in USD 91,000; at that time, the planned equity structure was Jobs (26%), Woz (26%), and Markkula (26%); the remaining 22% was used to attract new investors

On January 3, 1977, the new Apple Company was established, with a shareholding structure of Jobs (30%), Woz (30%), Markkula (30%), and engineer Rod Holt (10%).

This balanced shareholding structure is the foreshadowing of Jobs being swept out in the future.

At the end of 1979, Apple introduced pre-listing mezzanine financing, with a total of 16 investors including Xerox, Rothschild (lf rothsteowbiwood capital company, and some individual investors).

On December 12, 1980, Apple's IPO, the largest shareholder after the IPO, Jobs' diluted shareholding ratio was about 15%, and the second largest shareholder Markkula held about 7 million shares, accounting for about 11.4%; The three major shareholders Woz hold 4 million shares, accounting for about 6.5%.

From 1981 to 1983, Markkula was the CEO of Apple.

In 1983, Jobs invited John Sculley, president of PepsiCo, to join Apple as CEO.

In May 1985, with the support of the board of directors (Markula), Sculley dismissed Jobs from his position in the Matosh department, retaining only the vacant position of chairman. In September of the same year, Jobs resigned from the position of chairman and left Apple to create software company.

From 1985 to 1997, Markkula was the chairman of Apple;

On December 20, 1996, Apple Computer announced the acquisition of a software company for US$427 million, and Jobs officially returned. Markkula left Apple before Jobs returned.

Now Jobs is leading Apple to begin its peak era.

"Then setting up a director will be good for our future!"

Then Wang Guanxi discussed with Apple's board of directors and appointed a director to Apple.
