v3 Chapter 772: Attitude to Apple (1/2)
After talking with Julian Robertson, Xia Yu finally felt relieved.
Many American semiconductor companies are listed, but few have the opportunity to do it. He chose AMD and Intel.
Although the other six people in the Fairchild Eight Rebellion and other elites in the industry have founded many companies, in the process of development, they either closed down or were merged by other established giants.
As for the more distant computer companies, they are also leaders in the semiconductor industry.
For example, Xia Yu intends to invest in IBM, Texas Instruments, Sperry Rand, etc., are all giants in computer-related fields.
But unfortunately, behind IBM is the Morgan Consortium, Texas Instruments is behind the Texas Consortium, and Sperry Rand is behind the Rockefeller Consortium.
Not to mess with each one!
Small-scale equity investment is nothing, but if you want to **** it, it will definitely usher in the attention of the giants and a strong counterattack. After all, these companies are the tentacles of various consortia in this field, and not everyone is qualified to cut.
But just as Xia Yu was about to leave the office, Julian Robertson suddenly thought of some information and kept Xia Yu.
”Boss, I have a message, I don't know if you know it.”
Xia Yu raised his brows and asked, ”What information?”
Julian Robertson said: ”It's about Apple. Now Apple has launched the listing process and is looking for an underwriter.”
Xia Yu's eyes narrowed, it turned out to be Apple.
For Apple, how could he not know?
And since coming to the United States to get involved in the high-tech field, Apple is definitely an existence that cannot be ignored. Later, Apple's market value ranks first in the world. He has learned relevant information before and after coming to the United States.
Only after understanding, he knew that it was too late, the chances of hands-on were few and the difficulty was too great.
Apple has been spotted by the wolves on Wall Street, and the New York Stock Exchange has long been looking forward to its arrival.
Last summer, Apple ended the last round of financing before going public. At that time, Xia Yu was still in the UK, and he hadn't reached out to the US, so naturally he missed it.
And to be honest, that time of financing, even if Xia Yu knew it, it was useless, he could not rob Wall Street giants.
Apple's open financing is to absorb Wall Street capital to expand the production of AppleII, and more importantly, to prepare for the subsequent listing.
Only by introducing the capital of Wall Street, Apple will go public and get a higher market value.
What is discarded is part of the equity, which will get several times the value!
Nowadays, Apple is the leader in the field of personal computers, and AppleII has caused a sales boom. The media and financial institutions have already analyzed Apple's situation clearly.
The media has given extremely high expectations. The listing of Apple may create the craziest scene in the history of the United States, whether it is the scale of financing or the number of rich people!
After Xia Yu learned about the difficulty, he planned to give up temporarily. Anyway, there are opportunities behind. When Apple is still in a trough, Steve Jobs will be kicked out, and even fell into a collapsed situation. At that time, Apple lost its aura and wanted It is possible to achieve holdings and even privatization.
Now is the highlight time for Apple, not a good time to do it.
But now Julian Robertson reminded him kindly, and let Xia Yu consider it again.
He contemplated for a long time before saying: ”In this way, you see if you have a chance to enter the ranks of underwriters, if not, then forget it.”
