Chapter 502 Apple Development

Face Book, the king of social media, can basically be regarded as the last big gold mine.

Wang Yaocheng currently holds controlling shares of Google and Alibaba, occupies 30% of the equity of Little Penguin, and is the major shareholder of Yahoo Japan and Yahoo China. In addition, he has invested in a series of high-tech Internet companies such as video YouTube, photo gallery website, and Amazon website.

Just adding the last piece of the media social puzzle, FaceBook, will form a completely open industrial ecological chain and play a decisive role in the network society.

In the memory of past and present lives, it will be the last big wallet.

If he doesn't lower his head to pick it up, the opportunity will slip away from him and become an eternal regret in Wang Yaocheng's heart.

In Silicon Valley today, venture capitalists including Wall Street generally believe;

The Internet high-tech gold rush has passed, the territory has been divided up, and the entire Internet ecological landscape has basically emerged.

There are dozens or hundreds of network high-tech companies participating in fierce competition in every segment. Ninety-nine percent of them will die in the end, and only a handful of them will survive.

Three years ago, when the Internet high-tech bubble burst, the pattern of the entire Internet world was already set, and it would not change much.

This is not the idea of ​​one or two people, but the consensus of thousands of investment fund managers.

Wang Yaocheng will not take the initiative to point out how absurd this understanding is, but he will still say the same thing;

I am not his father and have no obligation to be a guiding light.

After thinking about it over and over while sitting on the sofa, Wang Yaocheng gave up the idea of ​​​​intervening early and could only wait for the next opportunity. It would be best if Face Book took the initiative to recommend himself, and then just play the role of Bole.

Whether it is its subsidiary Arctic Ocean or Red Hat, they are now famous in Silicon Valley, and their every move attracts countless attention. Their status is too high.

How high?

It's three stories high, so impressive.

Among the well-known venture capital funds in the United States and Silicon Valley, whether it is Arctic Venture Fund, Red Hat Venture Capital Fund, Redstone Venture Capital Fund, or the venture capital funds of Royal Family Fund, they have always been known for their precise vision, and the investment success rate can often reach half.

Compared with the level of less than 10% of peers, this rate of return is astonishingly high. Chinese fund investors are the targets of all pension funds and large industrial funds competing for poaching, and they are very popular for a while.

This is mainly due to the unique investment philosophy. After Cisco proposed the advanced concept of "Internet of Everything", it focused on investing in start-up companies that form and improve the network ecological chain.

For example, music videos, making friends, sharing information, shopping and entertainment, travel ordering, intelligent cars, intelligent homes, industrial intelligence, and even information construction in smart cities, communications, industry, electricity, banking, finance and other fields, building open networks

ecological chain.

Based on this correct investment thinking, we prioritized high-traffic head start-up companies for key support, and achieved extremely significant results.

Having a correct investment philosophy, rather than scattering pepper aimlessly, trying to gain big profits, and entering the venture capital industry with a gambling mentality is the secret to success.

Abandoning extremely dangerous and unscientific investment concepts and repeatedly scientifically demonstrating market prospects are the prerequisites for all venture investments.

Today, its Arctic Ocean Venture Capital Fund and Red Hat Venture Capital Fund hold a large number of high-tech network company shares, worth tens of billions of dollars. As companies go public one after another and realize cash, this part of the income will continue to grow rapidly.

The Redstone Fund led by Qi Feifei has now acquired partial equity interests in China Little Penguin Company, 360 Website, etc., as well as venture capital equity interests in some high-tech companies in the United States, Europe and Israel, and is gradually on the right track.

Among them, the 8% Little Penguin equity invested by Wang Yaocheng should be the most valuable part.

In this early morning summer night

Wang Yaocheng lay comfortably on the sofa and thought, and fell into sleep unconsciously.

The housekeeper, Miss Cetelina, appeared quietly, covered him with a light cashmere quilt, adjusted his sleeping position, and adjusted the temperature of the central air conditioner to a comfortable 25 degrees to prevent him from having a stiff neck while sleeping.

She stared at Wang Yaocheng's sleeping face with gentle eyes, and saw that his chiseled face still seemed to have a proud look, and she didn't know what he was planning. It seemed that the whole world was under control.

This domineering self-confidence and charming charm are still fascinating even in sleep.

Eh...

Sighing faintly, Miss Cetelina knew that the young man lying on the sofa was not someone she could covet. If she tried to get close to him forcefully, she would definitely be covered in bruises.

Just do your service work conscientiously and observe his brilliant achievements from a distance. This contains your own contribution and is also an honor.

Miss Cetelina dimmed the lights in the room, leaving only a faint floor lamp, and then left quietly.

the next day

Wang Yaocheng lazily turned over, and the thin quilt on his body slipped off. He subconsciously reached out and pulled it, and he woke up and turned around.

"Hey, what time is this?"

"Your Excellency, it is now 10:21 a.m. on June 7th. You have slept for 8 hours and 7 minutes. This is a cup of mint tea with a temperature of 60 degrees. It can remove the odor in your mouth in the morning. Please try it."

The housekeeper, Miss Cetelina, handed over the warm mint water. Wang Yaocheng took it and took a sip. He immediately felt refreshing and pleasant.

"Last night... nothing happened, right?"

"No, Your Majesty, the tissue on the sofa coffee table is still in the same condition as when I left it. I'm pretty sure you haven't used it."

"Miss Cetelina, your keen observation makes me ashamed. Are all women so observant and meticulous? This is really terrible. I feel as if there is no secret at all."

Miss Cetelina took the empty teacup and replied, "Your Excellency, if you need my service even when you are getting dressed, then there really is no secret at all."

"Okay, okay then, I'll do it myself."

Wang Yaocheng stood up and stretched out comfortably. Feeling as energetic as returning blood, he yelled, "Hey! A new day has begun. What should we eat in the morning?"

"White porridge, steamed dumplings, several tea snacks and fried dumplings, accompanied by a pot of oolong tea. After the meal, you can have ice cream and grated cheese for dessert. You can also prepare a fruit plate for you to enjoy. At noon, you will have your favorite lamb with skin as the main dish.

Do you think it would be okay to pair the dish with nutritious soup?"

"OK, eating a plain breakfast is good for your health, I think it's good."

"Then I'll tell the kitchen to prepare. Dinner will be served in 20 minutes."

"no problem."

afternoon

Wang Yaocheng met with Apple's top managers headed by Steve Jobs at the five-star Peninsula Hotel in uptown New York, and listened to relevant corporate and technology development reports, as well as Apple's product long-term planning.

As the old saying goes, whether a train runs fast or not depends entirely on the headband.

When Jobs returned to Apple, he immediately brought new changes to the computer company that was on the verge of bankruptcy. As the CEO of Apple, his first action was to promote the development of iMac.

This move saved the company from bankruptcy and gave them enough time to develop a new operating system.

In 2001, Apple launched Mac OSX, a powerful system based on Steve Jobs' ep operating system, which is the famous Apple operating system IOS.

It integrates the stability, reliability, security of its predecessor UNIX and the ease of use of the Matosh interface, targeting professionals and consumers.

OS X software includes methods to emulate old system software so that it can execute software written before OS X. The two seamlessly connect and transition to the new system smoothly.

Through Apple's unique libraries, software developed before OS X can relatively easily adapt to and take advantage of the new system's powerful features.

In the European and American technology circles

Since then, three major schools have formed: Microsoft's traditional desktop system, Red Hat's mobile open source Android system, and Apple's unique Mac OS operating system, each occupying a portion of the market share.

In the field of traditional desktop computers, Microsoft accounts for 67% of the market share of desktop systems, Android accounts for 28.5%, and Apple accounts for the remaining 4.5%.

Among users of mobile communication systems and enterprise servers, after more than ten years of hard work, the Android operating system occupies 58.4% of the market share and is the well-deserved market leader.

Microsoft's WM2 system occupies 17.5%, Symbian system occupies 13.4% (mainly Nokia mobile phones) Samsung Bada system (Samsung mobile phones) occupies 5.7%, Apple ISO system (Apple laptops) occupies 3.3%, and the others are Motorola.

The self-owned systems developed by Taiwanese and domestic manufacturers occupy sporadic market shares.

I have to admire Jobs's foresight. Before the dazzling Apple mobile phone was launched, he had already prepared a suitable mobile operating system for it.

This is equivalent to preparing a rocket engine. As long as you add fuel, you can take off and fly into the sky.

No one can succeed casually. With his sophisticated layout, precise market vision, forward-looking technological concepts and brilliant genius ideas, Jobs became the latest best manager in the world in 2002.

At the beginning of 2002, Apple debuted its new iMac G4 desktop computer, which consisted of a hemispherical Apple-shaped base and a digital flat-panel display with a rotatable support.

This product was very popular once it was launched on the market, helping Apple Computer gain a reputation in the market and become a best-selling product.

This Apple computer is the world's thinnest desktop computer, about 5.1 centimeters thick (approximately 2 inches). It uses Cisco's latest wireless LAN technology to connect to the network, bringing a smooth Internet experience.

Through ingenious product placement, Apple has used clips showing PowerBook functions in the movies "Mission Impossible" and "ID4 Star Terminator" as a means of advertising competition, which has deeply influenced people's hearts and established a high-end image.

In addition to computer products, Apple also manufactures consumer devices, which became Apple's main breakthrough direction under the leadership of Steve Jobs, bringing a large amount of revenue to the company and the ability to invest large sums of money in research and development.

Throughout the 1990s, due to Apple's wrong decisions, Atlantic Business Machines Company's OPPO brand and Yangtze Technology Group's Dell brand computers gained more new computer users than Apple.

Apple's market share fell from 20% to 5% in ten years, and the company struggled on the verge of bankruptcy.

Until Steve Jobs returned to Apple, leading this innovative company to shine on the world stage, step by step out of the quagmire, and step by step towards glory.

The trend of history rolls forward according to the established trajectory and is difficult to change.

Wang Yaocheng sat on the rostrum with his eyes half closed, listening to CEO Steve Jobs's speech. Several sensitive words in it stimulated him deep in his heart, and he felt an imminent crisis.

As the highest-level undercover agent in history, his hunch was accurate.
