On August 27, Sioux City finally successfully concluded all arrangements in Hong Kong and embarked on a journey to New York City, thousands of miles away in the United States.
On this trip, he chose to travel lightly, only accompanied by a team of loyal and powerful bodyguards, without any female relatives.
At Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport, Su Cheng stepped into his spacious and luxurious private jet, preparing to start this flight across the ocean.
The plane stopped briefly in Tokyo and Los Angeles. After nearly thirty hours of flight, it landed safely in New York City.
The last time I visited the United States was when the Oracle computer was released. In the blink of an eye, two years have passed by.
New York, this prosperous city once again welcomed the arrival of Sioux City with its unique charm.
After arriving in New York, Sioux City was warmly welcomed by Apple executives.
Jobs personally went to the airport with core team members such as Steve Gary Wozniak and Michael Scott to greet him, showing his high regard and respect.
Although Su Cheng does not directly intervene in Apple's daily operations, as Apple's largest shareholder, he undoubtedly enjoys the respect and courtesy he deserves.
What's more, Sioux City is also the world's richest man, which makes him the center of attention and deserves the highest respect from everyone at Apple.
"Mr. Su, long time no see." In the airport departure hall, Jobs smiled and warmly extended his right hand to shake Su Cheng's hand. His words were filled with the joy of seeing each other again after a long absence.
"Hello, Mr. Jobs." Su Cheng responded in the same polite and cordial manner. Although the two met only for the second time, they had a pleasant chat in private last time, and both sides were very impressed with each other's talents. Very recognized.
Afterwards, Sioux City greeted Steve Gary Wozniak, Michael Scott and other Apple core team members one by one.
He understands that Apple's success today is inseparable from the joint efforts of these talented, hard-working and dedicated team members.
Therefore, he expressed his sincere gratitude and respect to every member.
Among this group of people, the one who impressed Sioux City the most was Steve Gary Wozniak, one of the founders of Apple.
He has a unique appearance, with a thick beard covering his face, long hair blowing in the wind, and a slightly chubby figure. The overall look is both individual and a bit weird.
However, beneath this appearance, he is an engineer with superb skills and extraordinary strength.
Steve Gary Wozniak’s talent in the field of technology is eye-catching, especially his contribution to Apple’s first and second generation computers, which is undoubtedly a key factor in the development of Apple. An important milestone.
It was his unremitting efforts and outstanding talents that laid a solid foundation for the birth of Apple Computer and allowed Apple to make its debut on the stage of the technology industry.
Therefore, although Steve may appear a little different in appearance, his hidden technical prowess and love for technology have won the respect and admiration of everyone, including Sioux City.
"Mr. Su, we have arranged a hotel for you and the partners you brought, and our team will also stay there together so that we can communicate at any time." Jobs said sincerely.
They are usually busy at their headquarters in California. Only for major listing events like this that are related to the future development of the company, they will gather in New York. "Well, okay, thank you so much for your thoughtful arrangements." Su Cheng responded with a smile and nodded lightly.
In fact, even if they did not make this arrangement, Su City still has the ability to arrange everything properly through the Su Group's branch in Beautiful Country.
But considering that the core of this time is the listing of Apple, staying in the same hotel with everyone will undoubtedly enable us to collaborate more closely and celebrate this important moment together.
The hotel where Suzhou stayed was carefully arranged by Apple near Times Square, the heart of New York. This is not only a world-famous landmark, but also a symbol of prosperity and vitality.
The Nasdaq Stock Exchange, which is about to witness their important moment, happens to be located at 151 Broadway on the south side of the corner of Times Square, adding more expectations and glory to this listing journey. .
When their motorcade slowly drove into the hotel, the sunset was already hanging on the horizon, announcing the arrival of evening.
Su Cheng felt familiar with Times Square. The last time he visited this place, he had walked through this bustling area many times and felt the unique urban charm of New York.
Recalling the last experience, Su Cheng still had fresh memories.
At that time, he held a grand launch conference at the Grand Theater here, also close to Times Square. That event witnessed the glorious moment of Oracle's new computer products.
After successfully completing the check-in formalities, Jobs and others carefully prepared a welcome banquet to express their warm welcome to Sioux City and the accompanying team.
Today is already August 29th, which means that tomorrow is the day they go public.
Actually, Su Cheng came here deliberately on the tail end of time, and he had already budgeted for these times.
At tonight's reception banquet, the atmosphere was extremely warm.
Jobs and his team passionately shared their extraordinary experience of traveling to the core business districts of major cities across the United States for more than a month to conduct IPO roadshows.
From bustling New York to the tech hub of San Francisco, to the star-studded Los Angeles, the vibrant Atlanta, the historic Chicago, etc., their hard work and investors’ stories have been left behind everywhere. Great response.
"Mr. Su, judging from the current momentum, tomorrow's listing will undoubtedly be a grand success. We expect to raise a huge capital flow, which will provide Apple with future development, especially R&D projects provide solid backing.” Jobs’ words revealed undisguised excitement and pride.
For him and the entire team, as long as they open their mouth, Sioux City will definitely be willing to invest in Apple on a large scale, but of course it is impossible for them to do so. This is equivalent to gradually turning Apple into a private company. Enterprise.
Everyone knows how to consider their own interests, and Sioux City also understands them, so it does not stop them from thinking of listing Apple.
For Jobs and others, they are even more eager to witness Apple officially becoming a high-profile listed company. This is not only a milestone in their careers, but also the highest recognition of Apple’s innovative spirit and excellent quality. recognized.
Once Apple goes public, they can quickly become millionaires, even multi-millionaires and billionaires.
How could they refuse such a tempting thing. (End of this chapter)
