Gao Xian came to northern California this time to evaluate jobs and Wozniak's Apple computers. Just by the way, his main purpose was to investigate the latest developments in Silicon Valley and see the post production results of Lucas's Star Wars film.
With the vigorous development of semiconductor industry in recent years, the cost of components required for personal computers has naturally decreased.
For example, taking the CPU as the core component, the cheapest microprocessor, which is also the microprocessor used by Apple Computer - mos6502, costs only $25 each; As for Intel's microprocessor, Intel 8080, the price is 75 dollars each; The price of the microprocessor Z80 launched by ZILOG company established by Gaoxian support fee is between the first two.
Of course, there are more expensive microprocessors, like Motorola's MC6800, which costs $360 each.
Other notable industry developments include the development and application of floppy disk drives, which have sprung up everywhere.
In this rapid development environment, more and more large-scale companies are profitable, and then swarmed in, forcing the original small workshops to close down one after another.
The most typical example is that Edward Roberts sold the well-run Altair computer to a Canadian company, because he learned the painful lesson of the previous price war in the American calculator market and predicted that personal computers would follow the same old path. He thought he made almost the same money and left safely.
In Gao Xian's opinion, it's good for a small workshop to have such an ending. After all, in today's era, it can earn millions of dollars, which is enough for a carefree life.
A major feature of the small workshop is that the management level of the production line is not enough, which leads to poor product quality control. In the end, it corrupts the image of the personal computer and is eliminated as soon as possible, which is a good thing.
Mike Makula wants to transform the partnership between jobs and Wozniak from a small workshop into a formal joint-stock limited company.
At this time, Mike makura's ingenuity was fully demonstrated. When Gao Xian happily confirmed the achievements of the film star wars, he brought jobs and Wozniak to send a business plan.
Jobs, who appeared in front of Gao Xian again, obviously cleaned up. Although he hasn't worn a suit and leather shoes, he also looks like a normal social person.
Gao Xian quickly browsed through the business plan. In fact, there is no need to study it sentence by paragraph. In today's booming environment of personal computers, apple can win its place as long as it works properly.
In the newly established Apple computer company, the initial equity structure is as follows: Mike makura, jobs and Wozniak, as the founders of the company, respectively own 25% of the shares, and the rest is used to attract other investors.
In return for providing $500000 in financial support to Goshen Ken, Mike makura decided to give the Howard Hughes foundation a 5% stake in Apple computer.
Gao Xian smiled and accepted it calmly.
In fact, with the development of apple computer company, other investors will certainly be introduced. Coupled with the need for employee incentive, the remaining 20% of apple computer company's shares will certainly not be enough. Furthermore, the current shareholding ratio of the three founders of apple computer company is bound to be diluted.
After leaving slightly bland from Gao Xian, jobs grumbled: "Mike, why do we insist on giving Gao 5% of the company's shares? We don't refuse to pay back the 500000 US dollars! Look at Gao's response, it's very bland for our 5% of the company's shares."
Mike Makula was amused by Jobs's ignorance. "Sir Gao certainly has the capital to be so calm! In fact, he is willing to take a 5% stake in Apple computer, which is of great benefit to us."
"Think about it. Even Sir Gao's successful investors and the Howard Hughes foundation are optimistic about our apple computer company. What do other investors think?"
Now jobs, ignorant to ignorant, is not stupid at all. Coupled with Mike makura's patient teaching, he immediately understood the mystery here, so he shut his mouth obediently.
……
When Gao Xian returned to Xiangjiang later, he first met promising young people who were funded to go to major business schools in the United States for further study, including Liang Jinsong and Ma Shiheng.
These young people from ordinary families were born in the 1950s and are only in their twenties. In front of Gao Xian, they are really little brothers.
"All of you have several years of work experience. You just take advantage of the good years to improve in a more advanced environment so that you can return to Xiangjiang to show your skills in the future." Gao Xian said.
It is undoubtedly a very important life experience to go to those famous business schools in the United States for further study. Everyone here is grateful to Sir Gao Xian. They all said that they would repay Sir Gao's kindness when they return from their studies.
Gao Xian laughed loudly. "I'm also a person who came out of the micro. Naturally, I know the importance of opportunity. Therefore, I subsidize all talents out of my heart."
"When you come back from your studies, you don't have to work for Gao's enterprise again, but you should give priority to your personal development needs."
Despite Gao Xian's magnanimous speech, at least at this time, everyone here has no such idea. After all, the circle is so large that once it has a reputation of ingratitude, it will be difficult to move forward.
……
The climate of Xiangjiang in summer is deeply affected by typhoons, which can be described as continuous natural disasters. This year, when Gao Xian served as chairman of the Tung Wah Third Hospital, he was not spared. In late August, tropical storm Ellen raged, resulting in a mudslide in xiumaoping, Kwun Tong, Kowloon. Eighteen people were killed, 24 people were injured, and more than 3000 people were affected.
One of the grocery stores suffered the most casualties. Five children aged from a few months to seven were buried alive in the back room and died. Only the couple working in the front store survived.
After Gao Xian got the report, he immediately frowned. The place where the debris flow occurred was only 200 meters away from the location of the debris flow in the "June 18 rain disaster" four years ago. The Hong Kong government is really to blame!
Anyway, disaster relief first.
Fortunately, Gao Xian, chairman of the Donghua Third People's Hospital, was prepared long ago. He used his own resources and stored a large amount of materials in advance, which was enough for the resettlement of thousands of victims.
When Gao Xian came back from the scene, the Xiangjiang branch of the Xinhua news agency called to offer condolences on the natural disaster.
While thanking him, Gao Xian said, "I heard that major disasters have also occurred in the mainland. I must be in urgent need of all kinds of materials. Those commodities I purchased before will be donated to the disaster area."
Listening to Gao Xian's words, there is a bit of confusion over the phone. Sir Gao is really well informed, but whether to accept the donation or not depends on reporting to the superior.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
