At nine o'clock in the morning, Sioux City was the first to leave the hotel after bidding a fond farewell to Jodie Foster who was full of reluctance.
At this time, it was only twenty minutes before Apple was officially listed on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange. But earlier, Su Cheng had noticed when looking from the balcony that the Nasdaq Stock Exchange was The direction is already a scene of joy.
Apple's top managers, many loyal fans of Apple products, and expectant investors have already gathered outside the exchange, forming a bustling sea.
Above the gate, the Apple logo flag hanging high swayed gently in the breeze, becoming a distinctive symbol of this historic moment.
The recent intensive road shows and the overwhelming advertising in major newspapers have obviously achieved remarkable results.
From the warm and expectant atmosphere in front of us, it is not difficult to feel the widespread attention and enthusiastic response caused by Apple's upcoming new chapter.
Soon after, Su Cheng, accompanied by several bodyguards, arrived on foot in the area surrounding the Nasdaq Stock Exchange. His arrival immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Seeing this, Jobs and his team members waved enthusiastically to Sioux City, and the atmosphere at the scene became lively.
Most of the people present were the elites of the upper class. They almost immediately recognized the identity of this important figure in Su City, and immediately, waves of greetings and greetings came to him.
Although surrounded by many well-trained bodyguards, Su Cheng seemed calm and confident.
This grand event of Apple's upcoming listing has not only attracted the attention of many people in the industry, but also attracted widespread attention from the media.
This is not the kind of listing announcement news that was seen in the New York Times in Sioux City this morning, but a real listing. Therefore, there is no need to give advance notice or spend huge sums of money to invite major news media. He came to report on his own initiative.
Mainstream American television networks such as CNN, ABC, and CBS, as well as authoritative newspapers such as the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, and the New York Times, all witnessed the importance of this technological world. time.
Apple's listing this time, thanks to its recent launch of innovative portable computer concept products, has once again made the company shine in the technology world and become the focus of everyone's attention.
Going back to 1977, the advent of Apple's second-generation computer also caused a huge response in society, establishing Apple's status as a technology star.
Today, through the second outbreak, Apple is no longer a fledgling small company, but has grown into a relatively high-profile technology leader.
Facing the swarming media reporters, if it weren’t for the bodyguards surrounding him, the microphone would almost touch Su Cheng’s face, and all kinds of questions came flooding in:
“Mr. Su , what is the main purpose of your visit to Apple’s IPO this time?”
“Mr. Su, can you share the unique cooperative relationship or origin between you and Apple?”
"Mr. Su's arrival was so low-key and sudden. We did not receive any news in advance. Does this mean that you will have a special meeting with the President?"
"As a representative of Oracle Computer Company, how do you view the rise and influence of Apple as its competitor?"
......
Faced with this barrage of questions, Su Cheng smiled. As he stood, his eyes wandered among the many media reporters, obviously overwhelmed.
He gently raised his hand to signal that the noise around him had calmed down. After the scene gradually quieted down, he slowly said in a calm and confident tone: "Perhaps you don't understand the deep relationship between me and Apple." In fact, I am also one of the many shareholders of Apple, but please allow me to clarify that my role as a shareholder is a pure supporter and never interferes with any management decisions of Apple's board of directors.
I tend to quietly help Apple's development by providing technical support and other methods. Therefore, you can see that Apple now has very cutting-edge computer technology.
As for the so-called 'competition' with Oracle Computer Company, in my opinion, this is not a fierce confrontation in the traditional sense.
The global technology market is vast and it is difficult for any company to achieve a monopoly.
More importantly, where there is competition, there is motivation for progress.
I firmly believe that healthy competition can inspire innovation and drive the entire industry forward.
Therefore, not only am I not afraid of competition, but I also expect and believe that Apple can become one of the most dazzling and outstanding companies in the global technology field in the future.
Apple is gloriously listed today. As one of the many shareholders of the company, I feel extremely happy and proud. It means a lot to me to see the widespread recognition of Apple from all walks of life.
The reason why I chose to become a shareholder of Apple is precisely because I firmly believe that Apple’s future is full of infinite possibilities.
The company is led by outstanding leaders such as Mr. Jobs, Mr. Steve Gary Wozniak, and Mr. Michael Scott. They are not only leaders in the industry, but also have outstanding vision and An example of innovative spirit.
Under their leadership, I firmly believe that Apple will continue to create brilliance and lead the trend of technology.
Here, I sincerely wish Apple a complete success in its listing process and look forward to this milestone event opening a new chapter in the company's development.
At the same time, I also fervently hope that more investors can join the Apple family and share with us the joy and results brought by technological innovation.
Let us work together to create a technological future, thank you all! ”
Su Cheng’s impromptu and unscripted speech instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the audience, with thunderous applause and cheers.
His words revealed his determination for Apple’s future Confidence and deep expectations deeply infected everyone
However, surprisingly, few people knew about the fact that Sioux City had already become the majority shareholder of Apple.
This news has never been leaked before, so when Apple's products unexpectedly appeared in the high-end sales channel of Oracle's brand experience store, although the outside world was confused and puzzled, they all thought All this is attributed to the excellent negotiation skills and extraordinary charisma of Apple's top executives. It is believed that they successfully persuaded the top executives of Oracle's brand experience store to promote this cooperation.
In fact, the close connection between Sioux City, the world's richest man, and Apple goes far beyond public imagination.
However, given the nature of Apple's former private enterprise, shareholder changes do not need to be disclosed to the public, which also allows Su Cheng's identity to remain low-key and mysterious.
It was only at this moment, with his impromptu speech, that this hidden connection surfaced inadvertently, triggering waves of exclamation and discussion at the scene. (End of chapter)
