"As long as you cure his disease, it will be much easier to buy shares. Maybe they will take the initiative to give some to you! Why, are you very optimistic about his company?"
Father Bumi's answer made Liu Qingshan even more excited.
At present, Apple only has a considerable reputation in the IT industry. The company's stock will skyrocket four years later. Then, under the leadership of Cook, Apple's market value has increased year by year, with the market value rising from 1 trillion U.S. dollars to 20,000 U.S. dollars. 100 million U.S. dollars, which has skyrocketed a thousand times compared to the original stock. At its peak, it was equivalent to the combined market value of IBM, Google, Intel and HP.
Today, Apple’s market value is less than US$100 billion, but it already accounts for half of the European and American high-tech markets. With the beginning of secret development of the iOS mobile operating system and the first-generation iPhone, it has formed a precursor to its eventual rise.
However, these two studies are currently classified as highly confidential projects. Father Buonmee has no knowledge of them, and naturally he cannot predict that Apple is secretly building up its strength.
For Liu Qingshan, this is the best time to enter, so he is concerned about whether there is an opportunity to invest.
He knew that even Jobs himself might not have enough confidence in Apple's future at this time, and there was still a great possibility of what Daddy Buonmee said.
"Dad, since Shanzi is optimistic about that company, why don't we pay special attention to it in the future?" Cram saw the clue.
He has a very special relationship with Liu Qingshan. He is considered an elder, after all, he is more than twice as old as him.
However, because he had the idea of letting his son become a disciple early, and this decision has always been regarded by him as the wisest choice in his life, he has gained more and more attention from Daddy Bumi, thus solidifying his position as the first heir. status.
This also led to a friendship between him and Liu Qingshan that transcended age boundaries, and he gained a deeper and deeper understanding of this person from then on.
He knew that Liu Qingshan would never do things recklessly and without any rules. Even when there was a sudden emergency, he could solve it neatly and tactfully avoid all the hidden dangers that might bring to him.
Therefore, for such a big matter as investing in an international high-tech company, he would not do it willfully, and he must have sufficient information in this regard.
In fact, as early as that day when he and Jobs first met, Boonmee's father could tell that Liu Qingshan attached great importance to that person. After learning about Jobs's specific illness, he did not give up and chose very active treatment. desire.
Dad's life experience was much richer than that of Cram. He knew very well that Liu Qingshan would never offer help so proactively to an unrelated person.
After hearing his son's proposal, he just smiled faintly: "Our Sashala is different from most business groups in the world. We rely on the real money saved from operating powerful industries, and there is no high investment in subsequent research and development. There is no need for a chicken-and-egg type of financial raising, so high-cost projects like Treasure Pictures that require upfront investment are divested from the group in advance."
He did not continue, but the meaning behind his words was that Liu Qingshan also understood it, that is, their Sashala Group started from industry, had plenty of funds, and could afford capital investment.
The reason why he didn't say it completely was because he wanted to hand over the decision-making power on this matter to Cram, so as to test his son's ability to inherit the family power in the future.
He specifically mentioned the reason why Treasure Pictures was spun off, which was to remind Cram: If you can make Treasure Pictures bigger and stronger, you have rich experience in large-cost investment. You can decide what to do next. .
Sure enough, Liu Qingshan saw the heavy smile on Kram's face, and then intervened, reminding him in a half-joking way: "High-tech industries with strong demand for high-cost research and development also have keen insights into the operation of capital. , you can't do too much, it's best to let the other party take the initiative. Just like you kicked Pajie to me and ignored it, even though I told you bluntly at the beginning that I had no plans to accept a disciple for the time being, Aren't you just convinced that if I establish a certain emotional foundation with him, sooner or later I will take the initiative to accept him as my disciple?"
"Why can't I find any similarities between the two things?" Kram and Liu Qingshan now talk very casually, becoming more and more like the way of communication between close friends.
Liu Qingshan said happily: "Actually, it's the same. If you really want to invest in that company, try not to use too much business thinking in dealing with Steve Jobs when his own survival and future are uncertain, but instill more in him when he is in crisis." If he is a loving and righteous person, after the dust of his illness settles, he will definitely first consider the people who will never leave him. After disassembling and analyzing in this way, do you see any similarities? "
Kram rarely scratched his scalp and looked like he was suddenly enlightened. "Don't tell me, it makes sense! But do you also think it is necessary for me to invest?"
Liu Qingshan spread his hands; "I didn't say this. As my father's first heir, you should make your own judgment."
But at this moment, Pajie suddenly spoke: "Dad, have you been using me as a bargaining chip? I'm a little unhappy!"
Seeing his son pouting and looking aggrieved, Father Bumi quickly hugged his precious grandson tightly and comforted him: "The conversation between adults is based on the matter. Your master just used you as an example. It doesn't mean that what he said is the actual situation. If your father dares to give birth to you as a bargaining chip, see if I don't break his legs!"
Liu Qingshan's way of comforting is another way of saying, "Whether your father uses you as a bargaining chip or not, do you regret the time you spent with Master in the future?"
"I don't regret it. Master taught me real Kung Fu and can train me to become a martial arts master in the future! Not only do I have no regrets, I will remember Master for the rest of my life!" Pajay's words were so exciting that he almost slapped his chest.
"Isn't that what it is? Even if your father really treats you as a bargaining chip, he will always do his best for you. In my opinion, if he doesn't do this, the fate of master between the two of us will not exist!"
"Well, I understand! Dad has always been thinking about me, and I should also understand him, respect him, and repay him!"
"The way to repay is to have both loyalty and filial piety. Master has taught you before that loyalty to the country comes first, followed by filial piety to your parents. Just like joining the army on behalf of your father in ancient times, it is the best interpretation of loyalty and filial piety!"
While the master and apprentice were talking, Father Bumi and his son were also making eye contact. The relief in their eyes was clear at a glance, and the smiles on their lips never left...
At 7:30 in the morning, when many people were still asleep, Shi Hui and Park Hyun Ji arrived with three members of Earl Snowdon's family.
As usual, there were a lot of newspapers of all kinds. Jin Xishan also stayed up all night. After undergoing a body transformation, she was full of energy. It was not a big deal if she didn't sleep for two days and two nights.
"I knew that if you came here so early, our Princess Jane must be making a fuss about going out to play, right?"
Compared to Liu Qingshan, Jin Xishan liked Jane more. The little girl also rushed to her immediately and got into her arms: "My sister was the second to get up. When I opened my eyes, my brother was already there." All washed up!"
John went straight to Liu Qingshan, "Uncle, you promised to take my sister and me to the amusement park!"
Liu Qingshan leaned over and picked him up, placed him on the seat next to him, and handed him today's breakfast buns: "But now there are some unexpected situations. Uncle needs to go to work first, but Pajie and Che Geng will accompany you." , and that sister Linlin, you are all children, so it will be more fun to play!"
"I heard from my mother that Brother Pajayi and Brother Chegeng are both your apprentices. Are you teaching them kung fu? Can you teach me too?"
"They are in a different situation than you. They will inherit the title of earldom from their father in the future. Which aristocratic child have you ever heard of who has to be beaten on the ground every day?"
"Well, I know this. To learn kung fu, you have to roll on the ground every day. It's like in the movies!"
"So, even if I agree to teach you, your parents and your aunt the Queen won't allow it. But if you like it, you can ask Pajay and the others to teach you when you grow up. a little."
"Yes, I'm still young and growing, so I can't affect my normal development!"
Everyone present suppressed the idea of laughing wildly. In fact, Pajie was the same age as him. They started practicing martial arts two years ago, but they never considered any developmental issues. John didn't know where he learned this. reason.
Liu Qingshan explained to the count and his wife: "I originally planned to go out with you for fun, but a tour group happened to come from the mainland. There are more than 20 people. You just happen to join them. If there are more people, it will be more fun!"
David smiled and nodded: "I've heard about that tourist group. It was so crazy to play, as if they were always very interested in any street garden. Of course, I'm not talking about that. They haven’t been out and don’t have much experience, but it refers to their optimistic attitude towards life, which suits her very well!”
He pointed one finger at Sophia, who did not hide her yearning for this matter: "We women all love to go shopping, but it is human nature, and any behavior that kills this nature is a big sin. Shanzi, it is already late, are you going to rush them? Are you up?"
Shi Hui covered her mouth and was having fun on the side, while Park Hyun Ji always did things straightforwardly and immediately dialed Aishwarya's number: "Get up quickly. Mrs. Sophia and Master Gu Yun are waiting impatiently. Remember to knock on the door one by one after getting up. Let’s meet in the restaurant!”
Before she finished speaking, Liu Qingshan's cell phone rang, and it was Zhen Zijian calling: "Our crew is having breakfast downstairs. Do you want to come over and have breakfast with us? Remember to bring Kunal and the others with you when you come. Come here, the crew is short of stuntmen!"
Kunal and the others had been staying on the set of "The Fuse" before. Chen Long helped arrange this, with the purpose of allowing them to learn as much practical work experience as possible.
