Xu Nanxing was very happy to see the real Steve Jobs. This time she came not only to buy a computer signed by him, she also had other plans.
Xu Nanxing immediately said to the two of them, "I saw the computers you made and I really liked them. However, I guess you're just starting a business, right? I'm very interested in the computer industry. I wonder if you need any investment?"
That’s right, Xu Nanxing not only wanted to buy a computer signed by Steve Jobs, but also wanted to invest in Apple, the company owned by Steve Jobs!
After all, original shares are the best!
Xu Nanxing knew that Jobs was very short of money at the moment.
When Jobs was 19 years old, he dropped out of school after only one semester due to financial reasons.
After dropping out of school, he went to Atari Video Game Company and became an employee of the company.
Because he had no money to rent a house, he had been living in Wozniak's garage.
This time, in order to raise funds for mass production of computers, Jobs sold his Volkswagen car, and Wozniak also sold his HP 65 calculator.
In this way, they raised $1,300 in funds, which was Apple's initial funding.
It is conceivable that this $1,000 or so is a tiny amount in the computer industry.
Not to mention, after they excitedly produced their first computer, their business was dismal and no one was interested in it.
In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that this Apple-I computer is an assembled computer. Apart from the circuit board soldered by Jobs himself, other accessories use the ASCII keyboard of the same period and the open-frame Sanyo 4205 monitor, so this computer is actually not very competitive.
If the computer sales were not good, it would be obvious that Jobs and his team would not be able to afford it.
So Xu Nanxing still wants to take this opportunity to invest in Apple!
Although Jobs and his partner were a little surprised that someone wanted to invest in their unknown company, they still declined, saying, "Sorry, thank you for your interest, but we have no plans to accept investment at the moment!"
Xu Nanxing was a little surprised when she was rejected. She had carefully studied the difficulties that Jobs and his friends faced when they founded Apple, and she thought that the other party would be very happy to accept the investment when they heard that someone wanted to invest!
She didn't expect the other party to reject her so decisively.
Xu Nanxing continued, still unwilling to give up: "I am willing to invest $1 million in you, which only takes up 30% of your company's shares."
To be honest, the investment share given by Xu Nanxing is really a good deal for them.
After all, their initial capital for starting a business was only a few thousand dollars.
Even at the end of the year, they only managed to borrow $690,000 from the bank.
Xu Nanxing is mainly interested in Apple's later development, as there will be several years of losses in the meantime!
Xu Nanxing showed great sincerity.
Jobs and his colleagues were indeed surprised by the huge amount of investment.
That’s $1 million!
I didn’t expect that these young-looking Asian girls could come up with a $1 million investment so easily!
During this period, the US dollar had not yet inflated to an exaggerated level, so American millionaires were still very valuable.
The two looked at each other and were indeed a little stunned by this sudden huge investment.
"Ma'am, please allow us to discuss this. Wait a moment!"
Seeing Qiaobusi and the other man go off to discuss things, Li Shiqi and the others were shocked and said to Xu Nanxing, "Sister Nanxing, are you really going to invest one million... dollars in them?"
Li Shiqi always thought that Sister Nanxing was very powerful and mysterious!
In the past, I was never surprised when I saw Xu Nanxing investing in movies, setting up companies, and buying yachts, but those were just Hong Kong dollars!
Now, we use US dollars!
He casually took out 1 million US dollars to invest, even though he didn't even know those two young guys!
What if I lose money?
Sister Nanxing, aren’t you afraid that such a huge investment will be wasted?
Li Shiqi was really surprised!
Li Meizhen and her little followers were even more shocked!
She originally thought that the other party buying 10 or 20 computers at once would be very surprising!
Unexpectedly, the other party could easily come up with 1 million for investment, and it was in US dollars!
Who is this person?
Xu Nanxing ignored the shocked looks of others and was just thinking about the possibility of investing in Apple.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, investing $1 million in an unknown small company is definitely a sure thing.
However, Xu Nanxing was a little unsure.
After a while, Jobs and the other man had finished their discussion.
"Excuse me, ma'am! Thank you for your interest in our company, but we regret that we cannot accept your investment! We are so sorry!"
Hearing the other party's rejection again, Xu Nanxing felt a little disappointed, but also felt that it was as he expected.
The others on the side were all very surprised by the result of being rejected by these two people!
That’s $1 million!
Just refuse like that?
It was decided so quickly!
Don't you want to think about it for two more days?
The boss standing by was also surprised. He was one of the people who knew very well the current situation of the two young men.
