Chen Dong was enjoying a rare period of leisure in Hong Kong.
Meanwhile, Anne led her negotiation team to the United States.
This time, Anne has two missions to complete.
Chen Dong's first task was to have Annie acquire Qualcomm shares from the stock market and take the opportunity to contact Qualcomm's seven founders.
Even though Annie didn't understand why Chen Dong would target Qualcomm, she still did as he said.
Annie could tell from the phone call that Chen Dong valued Qualcomm highly, even more than when he acquired CCube.
Unfortunately, Qualcomm and CCube are different.
Qualcomm cannot be directly acquired; the best outcome would be for Qualcomm to acquire a controlling stake.
Make a fuss about stock subscriptions.
As for the follow-up plans, Chen Dong did not reveal them, only telling Annie that the follow-up plans would depend on the feedback from this contact before they could be formulated.
The second task Chen Dong asked Annie to find someone.
This person's name is Steve Jobs. Chen Dong is naturally familiar with Jobs, but Annie doesn't know much about him.
Therefore, after learning about this task, Anne immediately investigated Jobs' situation.
With the money poured in, Jobs' information quickly appeared before Annie.
By this time, Jobs had already been ousted from Apple.
This is extremely similar to Chen Dong's experience in his previous life.
He was full of passion, but his enthusiasm was ignored; he was full of talent, but he had nowhere to use it.
The day after Annie arrived in the United States, she called Chen Dong.
During the phone call, Annie said, "Boss, Steve Jobs has now left Apple and is at Pixar Animation Studios. Is there anything I need to do?"
At first, Annie thought Chen Dong was going to spend a lot of money to bring Steve Jobs back to China.
Just like the tactics Chen Dong used to poach talent back then.
However, to Annie's surprise, Chen Dong really didn't mean it that way.
After learning about the situation, Chen Dong smiled and said, "Find some time to get in touch with Mr. Jobs. Also, please convey my greetings to him and tell him that I will make a special trip to visit him when I have time."
Anne nodded and said, "Is that all?"
“Yes, that’s all. Don’t say anything else. You only need to do this much and focus your energy on acquiring a controlling stake in Qualcomm,” Chen Dong said calmly.
Anne understood immediately and quickly hung up the phone.
That afternoon, Anne prepared some gifts and went to Pixar Animation Studios to visit Steve Jobs, who had just been ousted from Apple.
At Pixar Animation Studios, Steve Jobs sits in a charming European-style courtyard.
On the wooden table beside him were wine glasses, and only a small amount of wine remained in the decanter.
The look in Steve Jobs's eyes was filled with sadness and resentment.
At this time, Anne came to visit.
Jobs was taken aback when faced with the sudden appearance of the beautiful Eastern woman.
Jobs looked at Anne with surprise, then quickly said, "Beautiful lady, are you here to see me?"
“Of course, Mr. Steve Jobs, my name is Anne, and it’s a pleasure to meet you on such a sunny afternoon,” Anne said with a smile.
Anne's fluent English and youthful appearance put Jobs at ease.
Jobs was certain that there had never been anyone like Annie within Apple; if there had been, he would have noticed her long ago.
Anne placed the gifts she had brought on the table.
For foreigners, opening a gift in front of the giver is a sign of respect.
Jobs was no exception; he quickly opened the gift.
Annie prepared Chinese tea, along with a set of antique yet exquisite tea utensils.
"Oh my goodness! These are absolutely gorgeous!"
When Jobs opened the gift, he was quickly captivated by it and praised it highly.
Anne wasn't surprised; many foreigners were interested in such things, and even if it was just a replica, it was enough to cheer Jobs up.
After establishing a foothold, Anne spoke up, "Mr. Jobs, I'm actually here to deliver a message from a friend of mine. This friend asked me to tell you that he admires your talent and thinking, and hopes that you won't be discouraged by the wrong decisions of some people. The future is bright."
Jobs was taken aback.
At this moment, Anne smiled and said, "Also, my friend will be coming in a while. He asked me to tell you that he will definitely visit you when he arrives in the United States."
"Is that so? Well, I'd also like to meet your friend." Jobs' eyes were full of anticipation.
At this moment, Jobs was filled with anticipation for the friend Anne had mentioned.
You have to understand, Jobs was just a pitiful guy who had been kicked out of the company. He never expected that at this time, he would still be able to get attention from someone, especially a Chinese person.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Anne bid farewell to Jobs shortly afterward.
...
China.
Longteng Electronics' production continued, and as time went on, Longteng Electronics' warehouses became increasingly full.
Wang An monitors the production line every day, and before leaving get off work each day, he calls Chen Dong to report on Longteng Electronics' inventory levels.
Chen Dong, on the other hand, has been conserving his strength, insisting on continuing to stockpile inventory and not engaging in any supply activities.
Inside the Hidden Dragon Residence, Chen Dong flipped through the calendar, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Chen Dong was counting down the days; the Spring Festival was just around the corner.
The Spring Festival sees the highest viewership and purchasing power of the year.
