Chapter 396: A fruitful harvest, the conception of the Shen Fund

The man with glasses and a haggard face smiled and introduced himself: "Steve Jobs."
"Long admired the name."
After the two sides shook hands, Ivanka said with a smile: "Steve, look, I said no one would not know Apple's Steve."
After all, Ivanka turned her head to the side and smiled amorously at Shen Tong.
"Speaking of which, Steve and I have many of the same views on business philosophy, such as the pursuit of perfection and quality."
Jobs said: "The pursuit of perfection is the basic quality that a product must have."
Steve Jobs's perseverance to the perfect product, Shentong had already learned about it in the news and movies in the last time and space.
His pursuit of product perfection is sometimes even paranoid.
However, it is precisely because of his uniqueness that the miracle of Apple can be created.
It stood out from the crowds of high-tech companies such as Microsoft, Oracle, and IBM.
As soon as Shen Tong wanted to ask Ivanka about the purpose of introducing himself to Jobs, Jobs had already started talking.
"I think that innovation has no limits. What is limited is only people's imagination. As a growth industry, innovation is to make products more efficient, easier to use, and easier to use for work. 10 years ago, computers were like this An industry. If it is a shrinking industry, innovation is to quickly withdraw from the original model and change itself quickly before products and services become obsolete."
After talking to himself for a long time, Jobs finally mentioned Shentong.
"Shin, that's why I asked Ivanka to find you."
The absentee logic of science males is really a bit...
Seeing that Shentong didn’t understand, Jobs suddenly realized,
I think the innovation of computers has basically come to an end. Even the emergence of laptops is just the last struggle of computers. Soon, there will be something easier to use than computers. The product appeared, replacing the role of the computer, making people's life and work more convenient. And this product, I think it is a mobile phone."
Hearing what Jobs said, Shen Tong felt a little numb in his scalp.
Jobs is indeed right. After computers, the application and popularity of smartphones have developed rapidly, and the speed has almost surpassed the popularity of computers.
From the appearance of smart phones to 2019 when Shentong crossed back, smart phone applications are still prosperous.
However, what is surprising is that the time when Jobs said these words was in 2003!
Smart phones are only in the trial and exploration stage in this year. No one can imagine that this thing, which can only call and send text messages, can become a product that will change human life in the future.
In fact, as early as 2000, a mobile phone called Tiantuo A6188 produced by Motorola already had all the elements called a smart phone.
It is the world's first PDA phone with a touch screen, and it is also the first phone to recognize and input Chinese handwriting.
However, at that time, Motorola had not realized its powerful potential, did not focus on R&D capabilities to develop it, and did not have many applications to enrich the content of this phone.
When smart phones began to circulate in the market for commercial use, it was almost 2006.
At the time, Apple only released its first iPhone smartphone in 2007.
......
Seeing Shen Tong's silence, Ivanka broke the silence first.
"Steve, why don't you talk about why you came to Shentong? The innovation of the industry alone may make Shentong a little confused. After all, he doesn't know much about technology."
After listening to Ivanka, Jobs shook his head directly, without giving Ivanka any face, and said: "No, Ivanka, you are not right."
Seeing Ivanka’s puzzled expression, Jobs said:
Actually, I just returned to Apple. I’m not at Apple recently. Oh my goodness, when I returned to Apple, I found out about these stupid dumb guys. Make Apple like rubbish. This can also be seen from the stock price. The current stock price is only $7, so I have to come back."
7 dollars?
Shen Tong's eyes lit up.
If I remember correctly, in the last time and space, Apple's stock price reached $222, which is a full 30 times the space!
Recommend an app, comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, can change the source books for all \\mi\\miread\\\\!
It is 2003, and 2019 is only 16 years away. In other words, as long as Apple's stock price reaches $222 during this process, Shentong will be able to retreat with 30 times the assets.
Shentong can't wait to open a stock account now.
The point of Evanka's question is not on the stock price.
"So, Steve, what are you looking for Shentong..."
Seeing that Ivanka also showed a trace of impatient eyes, Jobs finally got the point.

In the headquarter’s record, there is a record of Mr. Shen Tong’s purchase of Apple. At the same time, there are also suggestions for the notebook hinge. From this point alone, I think Shen has very innovative ability and potential. When I know that Shen is also very good in basketball. After being talented, I can’t wait to meet Mr. Shen Tong and talk about cooperation."
Finally came to the point...
Ivanka and Shentong wiped their sweat at the same time.
This guy is more difficult to communicate than in movies and rumors.
The whole dialogue process is his own personal show and self-talking.
"So, Steve, do you want Shentong to be your endorsement?" Ivanka asked.
Jobs said without concealment: "Yes, we have analyzed several candidates and found that Shentong is a very suitable candidate for our Apple. At the same time, he also has the knowledge of technology and the ability to innovate. I like this spokesperson very much. You said, our marketing department once contacted Shaquille O'Neal of the Lakers, and the guy said that our iPod is too difficult to use, so I immediately opposed this endorsement."
Shen Tong swallowed the words that came to his mouth again.
In fact, the iPod is really hard to use.
It's not that the ipod product itself is difficult to use. In fact, the operation of this product is very user-friendly, and it is very simple and smooth to use. The design and functionality of the product are perfect in this era.
However, he can only be used with Apple's macbook computer, which makes it "difficult to use."
It is precisely because of this that the current use of ipod in the market only accounts for 3%.
......
Regarding endorsement matters, Steve Jobs also bluntly said that it was precisely because of Shentong's suggestion on the hinge of the notebook that he wanted to come over and talk to Shentong personally, so as to make the final decision.
"Let Shen talk about his views on the future development of Apple? Steve, isn't this a bit difficult for a strong man? After all, this is just an endorsement, not a job partner."
Jobs' head shook like a rattle.
"No, Ivanka, in my opinion, the person who speaks for Apple is my partner at work."
Ivanka slowly turned his head to look at Shentong, with an apologetic and somewhat embarrassing smile on his face.
From the look in Ivanka's eyes, Shentong knew that the other party believed that he could not say anything in-depth views and suggestions.
Even Ivanka may be thinking, God, asking a muscular basketball player about the future development of technology is crazy.
However, Shentong is no ordinary person.
He is watching how Apple has grown into a world-class company step by step.
Shen Tong smiled slightly, looked directly at Jobs, combined with the real experience of the last time and space, and talked briefly about his views on smart phones, future technology, and the development of Apple, and even made a few suggestions.
While Shen Tong was talking freely, Ivanka and Jobs looked at Shen Tong's eyes slowly changing.
Ivanka: Doubt -> Surprise -> Calm -> Appreciation
Jobs: Calm -> Doubt -> Surprised -> Appreciation
From the changes in the eyes of the two, Shen Tong knew that he had conquered the two.
In fact, Shentong did not study Apple and technology too deeply in the last time and space, and the things he talked about are also very simple, but what he mentioned is after all things that are truly happening in the future and absolutely advanced. This impact has brought about The impact is absolutely shocking.
This is like, you travel to Van Gogh and tell him that his portrait will be successful in the future, and then Van Gogh will immediately lead you to be a confidant.
Just as you travel to Copernicus and tell him that he thinks heliocentric theory is absolutely correct, then Copernicus will definitely feel that he has found like-minded relatives.
It's like you traveled to China in the 90s, and you just found a passerby and told him that the Chinese men's football team could make it to the World Cup in 2002. Then these people will definitely call you a brain problem...
......
Shentong's words are not enough to change Apple's development experience, but they are enough to impress Jobs.
Because the concepts and opinions that Shentong talked about are almost exactly the same as Jobs's layout of Apple's future development.
No way, who told Shentong's knowledge point to be more than ten years ahead of it, and it happened to be those years of Jobs at Apple.
"Shen, I sincerely invite you to become a member of our Apple. I suggest that we can sign a long-term endorsement contract. I would like to invite you to become the image spokesperson for our full range of Apple products in the next ten years! As for the endorsement fee, you don’t need to worry, it is absolutely in line with your worth."
Ivanka is rare to see people who can be so appreciated by Jobs.
"Shen, Steve seems to be very sincere, so you should consider his suggestion. Moreover, you do not currently have product endorsements from a technology company. There is no risk of product exclusivity. I believe that the endorsement price given by Steve must be very high. It's not cheap."
Jobs was very on the road at this time and nodded quickly.
But Shentong has its own ideas and is very bold.
Technology has changed life.
What he wants is not just money gains, but what he can really do.
......
Shentong thought for a moment and said to Jobs: "Steve, I will consider your invitation very seriously, but if I really join Apple and become your image spokesperson, I hope you will pay me the endorsement fee directly. Convert it to me in the form of stocks."
Jobs was taken aback for a moment, with a delighted expression on his face, and quickly said: "There is no problem with this proposal!"
After speaking, Jobs even showed a grateful expression, holding Shen Tong's hand and said: "Mountains and seas meet friends, and all living beings are not easy to meet."
In fact, Shentong’s proposal is very kind to Jobs and Apple.
Apple is currently at its lowest point, and looking for an image spokesperson is also the first step that Apple has taken to reverse the company's image.
Although Steve Jobs went to Haikou and said that the endorsement fee is not a problem, it is definitely a huge expenditure for the company. At this time, Shentong proposed to use stocks to convert, then for Apple, it can save a lot of costs, and at the same time It is equivalent to giving Jobs a favor.
He just took office and signed Shentong, a young star who is currently hot in the NBA, with hundreds of millions of fans around the world. This signing will definitely help improve Jobs's prestige in Apple.
Shentong held Jobs's hand and said: "Where, where, since we are partners, we must look for a win-win way."
Jobs nodded in excitement.
"For the follow-up endorsement matters, please ask your company's personnel to directly contact my agent David Falcao."
"No problem, happy cooperation!"
Shen Tong was delighted.
30 times!
I am replacing a Chinese technology company, thank you Apple for this huge funding!
......
The fashion show on that day was quite exciting.
All kinds of in all colors and shapes, as well as all kinds of clothes and jewelry.
With warm applause, this fashion dinner came to a successful conclusion.
Shen Tongxin has met many people, but the most important one is Steve Jobs.
After the guy had finished talking with Shen Tongchang, he hurriedly left the dinner party and went back to prepare to endorse the contract.
When leaving, Ivanka deliberately found Shentong.
"Shin~EbookFREE.me~ Have you had a good time tonight?"
"It's okay, it's nice to watch."
Ivanka gave a "pouch" smile, with a spring on his face, and said in a half-joking and half-serious tone: "Which one are you looking at? I'll help you arrange it."
Shen Tong quickly shook his hand and said, "Don't, if our Avril Lavigne knows, we can really kill him directly from Los Angeles."
Ivanka smiled and said, "I will keep it secret for you."
Shen Tong "hum" and said: "I won't tell you a joke, even if I have the courage, I don't have that heart."
But I was muttering in my heart, who knows if you will be like your dad, you promised well last night, and you regretted it the next morning.
"Shen, I admire you very much. If I have the opportunity, I hope to cooperate with you to produce a fashion clothing brand."
Clothing brand?
This Shentong really hasn't dabbled in it.
"Ivanka, thank you for your invitation and hospitality tonight. I will consider this suggestion."
......
Returning to the residence that night, Shen Tong dialed the number of his agent, David Falcao.
"Hey, David, I have an urgent matter to discuss with you."
There was silence at first, and then Falcao's complaining voice sounded.
"Shen, my pro-grandfather, it's early in the morning now, can't we talk about it tomorrow?"
"Steve Jobs's Apple wants me to endorse."
"What? Steve? He can't handle it."
"Also, I would like to ask, how to set up a fund to invest in technology?"
"Do you want to set up a fund?"
"Yes, Shen Fund specializes in investing in China's technology industry."
"My God, Shin, you are either a madman or a fool, but if Steve is attracted to it, then you must be mad."
