Reborn Capital Madman

Gao Xian came to Northern California this time to evaluate Jobs and Wozniak's Apple computers, but by the way, the main purpose was to examine the latest developments in Silicon Valley and to see the post-production results of Lucas' Star Wars movies.

With the booming development of the semiconductor industry in recent years, the cost of components required for personal computers has naturally decreased.

For example, taking the most core component of CPU, there is no need to go through special channels. The cheapest microprocessor is also the microprocessor used by Apple computers - OSS6502, which costs only 25 US dollars per piece; as for Intel's

The microprocessor tel    8080 is priced at 75 US dollars each; while the microprocessor z80 launched by Zilog, established by Gaoxian Support Feijin, is priced at between the first two.

Of course, there are more expensive microprocessors, just like Motorola's 6,800 microprocessors, each price is 360 US dollars.

Other notable industry trends include the research and development and application of floppy disk drives, which are springing up like mushrooms after a rain.

In this ever-changing environment of development, more and more large-scale companies are profitable and flock to them, forcing the original small workshops to go bankrupt one after another.

The most typical example is that Edward Roberts sold the pretty good-run Arkans computer to a Canadian company because he learned the painful lessons of the previous US calculator market price war and predicted that personal computers would also go like this.

The old way, so I thought I had made almost the same money, so I left the market safely.

In Gao Xian's opinion, it is good to have a small workshop that ends like this. After all, it is enough to make millions of dollars in today's era.

A major feature of small workshops is that insufficient production line management level leads to poor product quality control, which in the end ruins the image of personal computers and is eliminated as soon as possible. This is a good thing.

And Mike Markula wants to transform the partnership between Jobs and Wozniak from a small workshop into a formal joint-stock company.

At this time, Mike Markula's shrewdness and ability were fully demonstrated. When Gao Xian happily confirmed the results of the movie "Star Wars", he brought Jobs and Wozniak to deliver a business planner.

.

Jobs, who appeared in front of Gao Xian again, obviously cleaned up. Although he was not wearing a suit and leather shoes, he also looked like a normal social person.

Gao Xian quickly browsed the business plan, but there was no need to study it sentence by sentence. In today's environment where personal computers were in full swing, as long as Apple computers were properly operated, they could win their own place.

In the newly established Apple Computer Company, the preliminary equity structure is as follows: Mike Markula, Jobs and Wozniak, as the founders of the company, owning 25% of the shares respectively, and the rest

Partly used to attract other investors.

In return for providing $500,000 in funding to Gao Xianken, Mike Markura decided to give the Howard Hughes Foundation five percent of the shares of Apple Computer.

Gao Xian smiled slightly at this and accepted it calmly.

In fact, with the development of Apple Computer, other investors will definitely be introduced. With the need for employee incentives, the remaining 20% ​​of Apple Computer Company's shares will definitely not be enough, and the three founders of Apple Computer Company will be

The current shareholding ratio of a person is bound to be diluted.

After leaving Gao Xian with a slightly plain manner, Jobs muttered and said, "Mike, why do we insist on giving Gao five percent of the company's shares? That's not the 500,000 US dollars.

Also! Your high reaction is very plain to our five percent of the company's shares.”

Mike Markura was amused by Jobs' ignorance, "Sir Gao is certainly as calm as capital! In fact, it is of great benefit to us that he is willing to accept 5% of the shares of Apple Computer Company."

"Think about it, even Sir Gao's successful investors and the financially-heavy Howard Hughes Foundation are optimistic about our Apple Computer Company, so what do other investors think?"

Now, Jobs is ignorant and ignorant, and is not stupid at all. With Mike Markula's patient training, he immediately understood the mystery of this place, so he obediently closed his mouth.

...

Gao Xian returned to Xiangjiang later and first met the promising young people who were sponsored to go to major business schools in the United States for further studies, including Liang Jinsong, Ma Shiheng, etc.

These young people from ordinary families were born in the 1950s and are now in their twenties. They are veritable younger brothers in front of Gao Xian.

"Everyone has had several years of work experience, and it's just right to take advantage of the great years to improve in a more advanced environment and wait to return to Xiangjiang to show off his skills in the coming day." Gao Xian said in a speech.

Being able to study in those famous business schools in the United States is undoubtedly an extremely important life experience. Everyone here is grateful to Gao Xian and expressed that they would repay Sir Gao’s great kindness after returning from their studies.

Gao Xian laughed loudly, "I am also a person who came out of the tiny, and naturally I know the importance of opportunities. Therefore, I sponsor all the talents entirely out of my true intentions."

"After you return from your studies, you don't have to work for Gao's company again, but you still have to take personal development needs as a priority."

Although Gao Xian speaks generously, everyone here has no such idea at least at this time. After all, the circle is so big that once you have a reputation of ungratefulness, it will be difficult to move forward.

...

The climate in Xiangjiang in summer is deeply affected by typhoons, and natural disasters are constantly occurring. Gao Xian was the chairman of the Tung Wah Third Hospital this year, naturally he was not spared. In late August, tropical storm Allen ravaged, causing mudslides to occur in Soo Mao Ping, Kwun Tong, Kowloon.

Eighteen people died, twenty-four people were injured, and more than three thousand people were affected.

One of the grocery stores suffered the most casualties. Five children from several months to seven years old in the owner's family were buried alive in the back room. The couple who only worked in the front store survived.

After Gao Xian received the report, he immediately frowned. The reason was that the mudslide occurred was only 200 meters away from the mudslide site in the "June 18th Rain Disaster" four years ago. The Hong Kong government is really to blame!

No matter what, let’s rescue the disaster first.

Fortunately, Gao Xian, the chairman of the Third Hospital of Donghua, was prepared and used his own resources to reserve a large amount of materials in advance, transporting them to the fullest amount of resettlement needs of thousands of disaster victims.

When Gao Xian came back from the scene, Huaxin News Agency Xiangjiang Branch called to express condolences to the natural disaster.

Gao Xian said while thanking her, "I heard that there was a major disaster in the mainland, and I must be in urgent need of all kinds of materials. The goods I purchased before will be donated to the disaster area."

After hearing Gao Xian say this, the other side of the phone was a little confused. Sir Gao’s news was really well-informed, but whether he accepted the donation would have to wait until he reported it to his superiors before he could get results.
