Chapter 882 It’s not strange to pay tribute to Buddha
Time flies, and another two weeks have passed.
KOKO Vice President Lin Youfeng, as a representative, has negotiated with Apple many times.
There was a slight friction along the way, but overall it was relatively smooth.
Su Yehao picked a good time this time. It happened that Jobs started to be interested in smart devices, and Apple's strength was not enough to support Jobs' ambitions, so finding someone to cooperate became the next best option.
The two parties hit it off and established a new company called "Apple Smart".
Apple invested US$10 million in cash, plus US$50 million in system patent exclusive licensing fees, while Su Yehao spent US$120 million as research and development funds. Apple held 33% of the shares, while he held 67%.
.
The reason for the friction before was mainly due to the stalemate over patent licensing fees.
In fact, for Apple, it only paid 10 million US dollars. After all, the mobile operating system for mobile phones is equivalent to being developed from scratch, and it will not affect Apple's existing personal computer business at all.
After signing the contract, both parties felt that they had taken advantage. Apple Smart's R&D center was placed in Silicon Valley, door-to-door with Black Diamond Mobile's North American R&D center.
As soon as the news came out.
Apple's stock price has risen for four consecutive days, with a total increase of more than 8%.
Relying on this data alone, the members of Apple's board of directors felt that they could earn back the money they invested in Su Yehao with profits, and they all laughed until they could grin from ear to ear...

Father Su traveled to the north for more than half a month and once again selected several pieces of land for the construction of Sihai International Shopping Center.
When he returned to the port city, he brought back some fresh watermelons and told him:
"This time during an inspection in Shanghai, I saw other people growing watermelons. After tasting them, I found them to be very sweet. They seemed to be called 8424. Then I bought three boxes of them, for a total of only about 90 yuan."
Su Yehao knew this type of watermelon. The weather in Hong Kong was hot at the end of July. He opened the box and picked up a melon, handed it to the butler to cut, and asked: "Why did you inspect the watermelon field and you want to tear it apart?"
Build a building in the melon fields?"
Father Su shook his head:
"The land we acquired is in Pudong, and the melon fields are used to build the new factory of Midi Group. Home appliances in the north seem to be particularly popular. People are starting to have money and are finally willing to replace the old antiques in their homes."
"...Tsk, a new factory has been expanded. It seems that the home appliance business is really booming."
Su Yehao is particularly calm.
A few years ago, if he had heard that his family had made money, he would have been happier than anyone else. He has been pushing it all the way until now, and he is almost making money.
His old man said to himself:
"Watermelon fields are boring. One of our projects in Suzhou has a pond that hasn't been dry in decades. After draining the water, we saw several large herrings one meter long. Neighboring residents caught hundreds of kilograms of them.
Wild fish.”
Remembering something, Su Yehao said:
"These fish are unlucky. They were caught out of nowhere. Last time I went back to Jinling, when will the land we took in Xinjiekou be developed? Last time, the boss of Suning called me and said that he wanted to book a shop to open a new flagship store."
"I guess we have to wait a little longer. Not long after the construction started, we discovered other people's ancestors. Even people from the Cultural Relics Bureau were attracted. They said they were like officials in the Song Dynasty. They might not be able to finish the digging within a year."
When Father Su mentioned this, he felt unlucky. He happened to see the Ming Dynasty gilt-bronze Yamantaka on the shelf. While burning incense, he said, "Hey, this Buddha statue of yours is interesting. What kind of Buddha is it?"
"...You don't even know what Buddha is, and you start burning incense?"
"It's always right to pay homage once, but it's not weird to pay homage to multiple Buddhas."
"..."
Su Yehao had gained a lot of experience, so he rolled his eyes at his old man and asked in a lazy tone:
"I met my mother a few days ago. She said you were in Chang'an. Why did you go all the way there? When it comes to underground tombs, Chang'an arranges them second. You don't dare to rank first in other places. With your level of superstition
, I’m afraid the land will be thrown away by then.”
"How is it possible? I bought the land with money, and I don't live in it myself."
After speaking in a matter-of-fact tone, Mr. Su continued: "The first phase of the Tang Dynasty Evernight City project has almost been completed. After I went there, I found that it was very hot to go shopping in the open air. It looked a bit interesting at night."
Chang'an's Datang Evernight City project was planned as early as the 1990s. After Sihai International was invited to invest, it obtained bank loans for development. The total investment scale is expected to be as much as 3 billion yuan.
The family business is now numerous and complex.
If we really want to talk, we may not be able to finish it in three to five hours.
Nangong Tian, Jiang Yu and the others went to work, and Su Yehao was the only one left at home. Both father and son were free. After eating watermelon, they went to Shi'ao Country Club to play golf while listening to the chirping of cicadas.
Su Yehao and his father are both dabblers.
This proves that whether there is a golf course at home has no direct relationship with golf playing skills.
As soon as he came to the rest area and sat down, Su Yehao unexpectedly received a call from Miss Vera.
The other party told:
"My mother just received news from my uncle that he was found in Colombia and has been imprisoned."
"Finally, we caught another person? He must be a rat. We have been searching for so long and there is no news."
In fact, more than two months ago, the men sent by Su Yehao had already captured her uncle once.
However, Vera's uncle carried a large amount of property with him when he ran away. He accidentally bribed the escort team and slipped away and disappeared. There was no news for a long time.
Vera was slightly speechless and reminded: "That's my uncle, he's related by blood. I'm not a mouse. Anyway, I really want to thank you this time."
If his father hadn't been by his side, Su Yehao would have said a few words of thanks, which would be too insincere.
He replied:
"There's no need to thank me. I don't know how much of the money he took away will be left after spending it now. You and your family had better be mentally prepared in advance. You might only get 10 to 20 million Hong Kong dollars in the end.
"
"……I know."
Just hung up after chatting.
Father Su suddenly raised his head and looked at his son's mobile phone screen. His tone was suspicious, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "Why did I hear a woman's voice? What is the money that was taken away?"
Su Yehao was not deceived and briefly mentioned that the Vera family was deceived.
Ponzi schemes are common among wealthy people. After hearing this, the old man just sighed and said:
"Mrs. Andrade, I have known each other a long time ago. I went to their house with your mother for dinner. I believe in something bad, but I fell into this trap. I might as well invest my money in your hands and buy the Internet."
stock."
Su Yehao snorted, turned over old accounts and said:
"I almost broke my tongue, but you didn't believe me. If we had invested more in Amazon stocks earlier, why would our chain of shopping malls still need a bank loan?"
"You can't say that. If I had bought it, maybe you wouldn't have the fortune you have now. You can't always look past it."
