Reborn Russia As An Oligarch Chapter 1044

By this year, that is, in 2006, as Apple's music store and IPOD continued to sell well, the company's stock price had risen a lot...

At the beginning, Wang Ye bought all the 160 million additional shares issued by Apple for US$5 per share. He accounted for 16% of Apple's shares and was also the largest shareholder!

Now, Apple's stock price has risen to more than 160 US dollars!

On this investment alone, Wang Ye has made more than 25 billion US dollars!

Of course, it is very difficult to cash out with such a large number of shares. If Wang Ye really sells so many Apple shares to the market, Apple's stock price will plummet and depreciate significantly.

After all, he is the largest shareholder of Apple. Even if the largest shareholder wants to cash out and run away, other investors must also feel that they are in danger and rush to cash out and leave.

But only Wang Ye knows, where is this going?

　When the IPHONE and IPAD are launched in the future, Apple's market value will continue to soar. At its peak, the company's market value may even exceed three trillion US dollars!

At that time, the 16% of the shares he holds will be worth nearly 500 billion US dollars...

Moreover, in addition to the soaring stock price, in a few years when the cash in Apple's account will be too much to run out, the company will also start paying large dividends. In the most outrageous year, it paid dividends directly to shareholders four times!

Highlights a person who is wealthy and powerful.

Therefore, Wang Ye has no intention of cashing out these shares at all. He will hold them for at least ten years, and then slowly cash out part of them when Apple's market value is close to its peak.

Since there is no place where I need large sums of money now, why kill the goose to get the eggs?

“Mr. Mikhail, I wonder if you have time to visit Apple headquarters recently. Our epoch-making product has been successfully developed!”

On the phone, Gang Leader Qiao's voice sounded slightly trembling, and he was obviously a little excited.

Of course Wang Ye understands what the "epoch-making product" that Gang Leader Qiao refers to, it must be the IPHONE!

Moreover, when this project was first established, many shareholders on the board of directors were opposed to it, because many directors believed that mobile phones were unnecessary. Competition among mobile phone brands such as Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, Sony, and Blackberry has already become fierce. This is a Red Sea market!

But Wang Ye stood firmly on the side of Gang Leader Qiao and supported his opinions.

That is to say, with the support of Wang Ye, the major shareholder, Gang Leader Qiao was able to officially establish the mobile phone project. Under a strict confidentiality system, the entire project team worked on research and development for more than three years. Today, Gang Leader Qiao finally came up with a mobile phone project. Satisfied product comes.

Gang leader Qiao also hopes that Wang Ye can take a look at this product in person and give some opinions. After all, it is his first time to make a mobile phone product, and he is really unsure.

Although Wang Ye is not an industry insider, at the beginning of the project, he told himself some very critical and important product suggestions. For example, this new mobile phone must be different from all mobile phones on the market, and all mobile phone keyboards must be cancelled. , adopting a full touch screen design, turning the mobile phone into a microcomputer, developing its own mobile operating system, etc...

I have to say that some of these suggestions coincide with Gang Leader Qiao's own ideas!

So he believes that Wang Ye, a young man, is very visionary and has a strong acumen for the future development of the mobile phone industry, and his opinions are worthy of reference...

As for Wang Ye's current status, it's not that Gang Leader Qiao doesn't know it, but he doesn't care about it at all. Even if Wang Ye's official position is high, what does it have to do with him.

Hearing what Gang Leader Qiao said, Wang Ye was also very happy.

Even though he already knew that Apple's product that was about to change the world would be released in early 2007, his mood was different when things actually came to him.

How about going to the United States...

This royal business needs to be considered.

On the one hand, Wang Ye's last trip to the United States left very bad memories.

On the other hand, if he says that his series of actions in Eastern Europe and Africa in recent years have not offended the United States, he is obviously deceiving himself.

Wang Ye is really worried. Don't accidentally have any "accident" after he goes there!

There are some things that you can do, so of course others can do it, and maybe others are even more experienced in doing it than you are...

After thinking for a while, Wang Ye replied with a smile:

“I have been too busy recently and have to visit many countries, so I may not be able to spare time to go to the United States.

But don't worry, I probably have an idea of what the new product will look like.

Although this product is a new starting point for Apple, it will definitely change a lot of things, but you have to know that many things cannot be rushed.

Like I told you before, play it slow and iterate fast.

In my opinion, although this first product is amazing, it is far from being able to change the global mobile phone industry. I am even more looking forward to new products next year and the year after.

I predict that it will take the third or even fourth generation of products to truly change the world, and the sales volume of this first-generation product may only be one or two million units..."

Regarding Apple's upcoming mobile phone products, Wang Ye's suggestion is to only launch one new model every year, focusing all the company's resources and technology so that each new model will have a big breakthrough and sufficient selling points. !

As for the sales volume he predicted, of course it is not a random guess, but the real historical sales volume of Apple mobile phones in Wang Ye's previous life...

Contrary to what many people imagine, Apple's mobile phone did not become popular all over the world as soon as it was launched and its sales exploded.

The first-generation iPhone was only sold in North America. In addition, the supply chain has not been fully established, and the self-developed mobile phone system has not yet been officially launched, so the sales volume is not high, only more than 1.3 million units.

It is completely incomparable with the major mobile phone brands of the same period, such as Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, etc.!

But the second-generation iPhone 3G was officially equipped with Apple's own mobile operating system IOS1, and began to be sold to more countries, so sales began to skyrocket, with annual sales reaching more than 11 million units.

By the third generation, the iPhone 3GS, sales doubled from the previous year to over 20 million.

The fourth generation, the classic iPhone 4, is the first to be equipped with Apple's self-developed A series processor, the first to be equipped with a Retina screen, the first to add FaceTime video calling function, and the first to introduce front and rear double tempered glass into the mobile phone casing. Used, iPhone4 is also the most classic iPhone product in Qiao Bangzhu's era, and it was this iPhone4 that opened the door to the Chinese market!

Sales doubled again to 40 million!

The fifth generation, Qiao Bangzhu's swan song, iPhone 4S, has sold more than 70 million units.

The sixth generation, the first new phone in the Cook era, iPhone5, has sold 120 million units!

Following on, 150 million units, 200 million units…

Mobile phones have also become Apple's core business. Because of the iPhone's global sales, the company's market value has skyrocketed year after year. It is the first giant company to become a trillion-dollar market value, the first market value to exceed two trillion and three trillion...

At its peak, Apple accounted for more than 100% of the profits of the global mobile phone industry!

It sounds outrageous and ridiculous, but that's just because other mobile phone manufacturers have done too much. Many brands not only failed to make money, but also incurred huge losses. Therefore, the combined profits of the entire industry are actually lower than Apple's profits. …

Hearing that Wang Ye could not come to the company headquarters, Gang Leader Qiao was a little regretful, but he could understand it.

He responded with a smile: "Well, this product will be mass-produced soon. However, because the time is relatively short, we only plan to sell it in North America for the time being. The product launch is tentatively scheduled for early November. If If you have time, you can come to the press conference, after all, that day is also a historic day for Apple."

It would be a bit bad if we continue to shirk it. After all, Gang Leader Qiao also sincerely invites him, hoping that he can also witness history together.

Wang Ye smiled and agreed. At worst, he would fly directly to the press conference on the same day, and then fly back directly after the press conference...

Wang Ye's trip to Jifu has aroused considerable repercussions around the world.

Not to mention the neighboring countries, the member countries of the Economic Mutual Aid Organization and the Collective Protection Organization originally wanted to embrace Da Mao, but now that they saw the so-called integration agreement signed by Da Mao and Ermao, everyone's minds became active.

In this case, do you want to sign the same agreement with Damao?

Everything has its two sides. There are good sides and bad sides, and this integration agreement is no exception.

The good side is, of course, that you can rely on the relatively stronger national power and economy of the United Kingdom to help your country develop faster, so that integrated countries can exchange their needs and freely like EU countries. Trade exchanges, and even the currency can be unified in the future, and everyone will unite to form a strong whole!

In this way, when encountering any big risks, because we are backed by so many brotherly countries, we don't have to worry about being unable to withstand it.

But the disadvantage is that within this integrated organization, Da Mao is the "big brother who takes the lead." As the younger brother, he must maintain the same direction as the "big brother" in many aspects, such as military diplomacy, etc. Correspondingly, it means reducing A lot of autonomy...

Whether it is necessary to promote integration with Mao Zedong or not, the leaders of each country naturally have different ideas.

Some people eagerly want to join this integration without thinking, such as Sanmao...

Some countries are not too interested in integrating with Mao, or they have too many concerns for the time being. Many details still need to be further discussed with the Kremlin and Wangye before they can decide whether to join.

The representatives in this regard are naturally several countries of Stan.

Speaking of Belarus, also commonly known as Sanmao, we have to mention one person, and that is Lukasko!

This is also a ruthless man. He is only in his early fifties this year, but he has already served as the president of Belarus for two terms. He can be said to be a "giant" in Minsk politics!

This year, he had just won the election and started his third term as president. During the inauguration ceremony, his adoptive father even went over to celebrate him in person.

Because Lukasko is a very firm "pro-Russian" person and has a very close relationship with Mao.

Even as early as the 1990s, it was proposed to promote integration with Mao, but because the situation on Mao's side was still relatively chaotic at the time, the matter was never finalized.

As a result, the Ermao took the lead and took the lead in signing a formal agreement on integration promotion with the Dalai Lama.

Then Lukasko couldn't sit still. He called the Kremlin directly, complaining a little in his words, saying that Wang Ye hadn't visited them in the past few years. Did he think they were too small in Belarus? The country is too weak, so I look down on them and so on...

Based on his relationship with the Kremlin, it was understandable to say this, so the adoptive father just smiled and explained a few words for Wang Ye, saying that Wang Ye would immediately visit Minsk after returning from Kifu to discuss with Lukasko face to face. the integration of the two countries.

The reason why I have not visited Minsk before is because Wang Yegang has not been in charge of diplomatic work for a long time. Before that, he was mostly engaged in economic work.

To be honest, Wang Ye didn't know that San Mao and Da Mao were close, but he really didn't put San Mao in a particularly important position.

Because it is too small and does not have any important strategic significance. It has a land area of 200,000 square kilometers and a population of only 8 million. It is extremely poor. From every aspect, it is a drag. "ah.

The reason why he is so active in making plans in Ermao is because Ermao is a large city with a large population, rich resources and a good industrial base. It will definitely be a big help after attracting him!

So Wang Ye helped Yanukovych and Yulia run for office, invested huge sums of money to help the Ermao revive, and now he is personally promoting the integration process between the two countries.

These will have huge rewards in the future!

What can Sanmao bring to Wangye?

After thinking about it for a while, Wang Ye couldn't think of anything else about Sanmao's place except for the famous beauties there…

After returning from Kifu, when he went to the Kremlin Palace to report on his visit, his adoptive father smiled and mentioned Lukasko's complaints and asked Wang Ye when he planned to go to Minsk to sign the agreement on the integration of the two countries. .

The adoptive father was not very satisfied with Wang Ye's work efficiency.

No matter what kind of thing, as long as it is put into Wang Ye's hands, it can be done quickly and well. Sometimes the results are even better than expected!

After having such a capable assistant, the adoptive father really feels much more relaxed now and has a lot less worries.

He spent his main energy on the integration within the faction. After all, the Shilawik Group had many people and many things to do. Although he was the soul of the faction, he could not say that he could completely control this huge interest group.

Now it happens that Wang Ye can help him share a lot of things, so he can "reside internally" and "clean" his "backyard". (End of chapter)
