Chapter 411
After dealing with the matter in San Jose, Song Yang and Jenny, as well as Irene, Gallo, Greg and others, began to return to Houston by commercial plane, preparing to spend Christmas this year. Daana called early Call, let Song Yang and the others return to Houston.
While Song Yang's commercial plane was still in mid-air, a piece of news spread throughout Silicon Valley and Wall Street, causing an uproar.
All Apple investors were expecting Jobs to be the new president, when news suddenly came out that Jobs had bloodbathed the entire Apple management, disbanded the entire Apple board of directors, and fired all directors except Ella Woolard.
This news is really shocking. Wall Street institutions like to drive out the founders of the company. This is almost a common practice. This is how the Cisco couple was driven out, but the founders fired Wall Street institutions, and it was a one-off All fired, which has never happened before!
Not to mention Jobs' current status, he is just a "consultant" of Apple. As a consultant, he dismissed all board members, and Jobs created a new history.
It is estimated that the entire Apple board of directors would never have imagined that after welcoming Jobs back, they would end up like this.
When Jobs gave the reason for disbanding Apple's board of directors, the answer he gave was, "This is the worst board of directors I have ever seen, no one!"
For those Apple directors who were dismissed, Jobs gave the answer that if they don't leave, then Jobs will leave. Now Apple has nothing. If Jobs leaves again, then Apple will have no other choice but bankruptcy.
This made the directors who were fired by Jobs aggrieved for a while. They were punched, and then told that if they dare to fight back, the money they invested in Apple would be wasted. This made them aggrieved for a while, but they were helpless .
And drove away Amelio, disbanded Apple's board of directors, and after 11 years of dormancy, Jobs finally avenged his revenge, and let Apple kneel down and hand over the scepter of Apple's president to Jobs, From this moment, Apple has officially entered the era of Jobs, and no one can stop Jobs' decision.
Only Amelio, who was expelled and only got Jobs' evaluation of "he is a good man, but not suitable to be the president", and Mike Mallaku, who was swept out, were the stepping stones for Jobs to stage "Return of the King".
No one can say what Amelio's true ability is, but Jobs obviously regarded him as a scapegoat for Sculley, who drove him out of Apple, and drove him away completely.
Based on Jobs' evaluation of him, the position of Apple's president is basically the last stop of Amelio's career, and he will never be invited by any company again…
And Markkula, who has been constantly entangled with Jobs, has also become another major "villain" in Jobs' revenge story. If Jobs can lead Apple out of the quagmire in the future, then Markkula will probably carry all kinds of burdens on his back. Rumors of lack of vision, unknown people, backstabbing Jobs, ruining Apple and so on.
Jobs got his revenge and returned to Apple. It seems that the scenery is infinite, but this kind of behavior of taking over the entire board of directors has basically severed the relationship with Wall Street. It is not so easy for Apple to get money from Wall Street. …
When the entire Silicon Valley was shocked by Jobs' methods, not many people noticed that the two hardware companies in Song Yang's hands also started to move.
Alcatel mobile phone, quietly announced that it will put into production a new mobile phone, but after being acquired and reorganized, the silent Alcatel mobile phone did not attract too many people's attention.
A new player in the semiconductor industry, PA also publicly announced that it will choose Texas Instruments to produce PA Semiconductor's first high-performance chip product as an OEM. In addition, it will establish a fab in Huaguo and invest in the acquisition of supporting manufacturers in Singapore.
As a new player in the semiconductor industry, these actions of PA Semiconductor have not attracted much attention, especially compared to the new fabs of more than one billion dollars invested by Intel and AMD in Asia, PA Semiconductor But it's just a project.
No one knows whether PA Semiconductor is bragging or is really preparing to enter the market. The entire semiconductor industry has not yet regarded PA as a new opponent. It is estimated that it will attract the attention of all colleagues.
Yanjing's Alcatel mobile phone production base is now busy, with countless engineers and construction workers working on it. After the building is completed, it may become the largest mobile phone production base in China, from blueprints to reality.
As the manager, Song Yang invests in all industries in the country. Fang Qiuyu, the head of the Star Wish Investment Foundation, is wearing a hard hat at the moment and leading a group of people to look at the huge construction site in front of him.
With an investment of US$100 million and an investment of nearly 900 million RMB, Alcatel's mobile phone base has secured a large area of land in Yanjing.
According to the plan, after it is completed, it will not only become the largest mobile phone production and assembly base in China, but also a new living area in Yanjing.
The production base can accommodate tens of thousands of people, and it is also equipped with complete supporting facilities, including commercial buildings, residences, supermarkets and other facilities. These are all projects developed by the Star Wish Investment Foundation!
I don't know if this mobile phone production base will make money in the future, but as long as it starts to operate, the Wishing Star Foundation will not be able to make a lot of money relying on the surrounding projects. Of course, this is also a risk. It's going to be a mess.
Fang Qiuyu, who was surrounded by a group of people, is now more imposing. As the head of the largest venture capital company in China, it is not an exaggeration to say that Fang Qiuyu can decide the life and death of a small company.
Since the emergence of the Wishing Star Foundation, there has been a sudden wave of Internet boom in China, and Internet companies have sprung up like mushrooms after the rain. The first thought of these companies after their establishment is to invest in the Wishing Star Foundation. !
The building of the Wishing Star Investment Foundation in Yanjing is now called the "sacred place" of the domestic Internet. They all want to get venture capital from the Wishing Star Foundation. Like Sohu, 8848, Chinabyte and other emerging Internet companies, they all move into it. Among them, there are even more rumors that moving into it is only one step away from being listed on NASDAQ...
In addition to the Internet industry, Wish Star Foundation has also invested in Yinghaiwei and Panda TV, and bought shares of Vanke, Gree, Changchun High-tech and other companies in the stock market.
I don't know how many companies come to the Star Wish Foundation every day, and there are countless people who want to ask Fang Qiuyu to invest money. Being in the position of the Star Wish Investment Foundation naturally makes Fang Qiuyu more powerful .
"The first phase of the project is to be completed by the end of next year. Alcatel mobile phone production has already begun. This production base must start to operate!"
Looking at the large construction site in front of him, Fang Qiuyu said to the person in charge of the construction company that the Star Wish Investment Foundation manages all domestic investment projects, and Fang Qiuyu naturally also manages large and small projects.
It seems that the scenery is boundless, but Fang Qiuyu is also Alexander, relying on the huge investment of the Star Wish Foundation, Fang Qiuyu is sought after by all parties, and even many departments regard Fang Qiuyu as a guest, but Fang Qiuyu knows that it is all because of his buttocks. Without the position of the head of the Star Wish Foundation, all of this is now a castle in the air. He needs to make achievements for Song Yang who is far away in America to see, otherwise... I am afraid that there are people who want to treat He takes his place.
Regarding Fang Qiuyu's request, the people in the construction engineering group all showed embarrassment. They have already transferred a large number of manpower, but the construction period is too tight.
But in the face of the big funder, the people from the Construction Engineering Group did not dare to say no. It is really hard to find a big funder like the Star Wish Foundation. As long as the construction period meets the standard and the quality is qualified, the Star Wish Foundation will settle the settlement immediately. Don't delay even for a day, such funders can't be found in China with lanterns. If they are not willing to do it, there are plenty of construction companies willing to do it!
When Fang Qiuyu was discussing the construction period with the people of the construction group, suddenly several people ran over. The leader, a middle-aged man, screamed when he saw Fang Qiuyu from a distance. Fang Qiuyu knew the clothes of these people. Where did they come from, I couldn't help feeling dizzy.
