Chapter 435

And acquiring Apple to become a Chinese brand is also a matter of winning glory for China.

"Apple phone? Why is this phone name so strange? Is it reliable?"

Chen Fu thought the name sounded like going to the vegetable market to buy groceries.

"It must be reliable."

Hearing Chen Fu's words, Chen Mo patted his chest to guarantee it.

"Alright, then I'll listen to you; anyway, we aren't short on money."

Chen Fu didn't think much about it and directly agreed to Chen Mo's proposal.

……

United States, Apple Company headquarters.

One of the founders of Apple, Jobs, knew that a Chinese company had acquired Apple phones, so he took a plane to China at the first opportunity.

He wanted to see what the person who invested so much money to acquire Apple Company was like.

Upon learning that a foreigner was coming to see him, Chen Fu naturally let Chen Mo represent him to take a look.

In Chen Fu's words, he couldn't understand what these foreigners were saying in their bird language; our Chinese language sounds better.

In the reception room.

"You are the person who acquired Apple Company?"

Jobs looked at the young man in front of him; he didn't expect the person who acquired his company to be so young.

"Hello, Mr. Jobs."

Chen Mo smiled.

"You know me?"

Jobs was a bit surprised; he didn't expect Chen Mo to actually know him.

Before coming to China, he thought Chen Mo would be that kind of arrogant big boss; he didn't expect Chen Mo to look so approachable.

Apple Company's R&D is very advanced, so it requires a lot of funds.

They had once gone to pull in many investments, and those investors were all arrogant.

He even thought that if the person who acquired Apple Company didn't understand their philosophy and was always high and mighty, he would quit Apple Company.

"Yes, I know your mobile phone philosophy, and I also agree with it very much."

Chen Mo answered politely.

Immediately after, the two chatted about Jobs' philosophy, and the more they chatted, the more shocked Jobs felt.

He didn't expect Chen Mo to be so like-minded with him.

And he even brought up some concepts that only existed in his heart and hadn't had time to be realized yet.

"Chen Mo, I am very happy that we have the same thoughts and concepts, and I also really want to realize these concepts, it's just that in terms of funds..."

Jobs hesitated to speak.

Honestly, developing the smartphone he imagined requires a large amount of funds.

He wasn't sure if Chen Mo was willing to invest so much money.

"You don't need to worry about the money problem; just focus on developing the phone."

Chen Mo patted Jobs on the shoulder.

In his past life, Apple Company's R&D speed wasn't very fast in the early stages due to funding problems, and it wasn't until the later stages when funds were sufficient that it had a qualitative leap.

Now that they are giving Apple enough funds from the very beginning, he believes that compared to the R&D speed of his past life, it will only be faster.

With Chen Mo's guarantee, Jobs returned to the United States happily.

Honestly, he didn't have any thoughts about running a company; he just wanted to develop a phone with epoch-making significance.

……

As the richest man in the country, Chen Fu's every move is highly watched domestically.

Because Chen Fu's investments hadn't gone abroad, many people in the financial world would follow Chen Fu's investments, but this time it was different; as soon as Chen Fu's new investment was exposed, everyone expressed their lack of understanding.

Major financial newspapers in China also reported crazily.

"New Move by China's Richest Man: Acquiring an Unknown Small Mobile Phone Company in the US."

"Cumulative Investment of Over 1 Billion Funds; Is This the Richest Man's First Failed Prediction?"

"No Hope of Recouping Investment? The Richest Man's Incomprehensible Investment."

"Nokia Boss Says: Sitting and Waiting for the Richest Man's Investment to Fail."

Once the report came out, not only people in the financial world, but the public was also very confused about Chen Fu's move.

If it were just acquiring a mobile phone company, that would be one thing, but after Chen Fu acquired this mobile phone company, he immediately invested another 1 billion US dollars into it.

That is higher than the cost of acquiring this mobile phone company.

"Feels like he's playing with money."

"Poor people die poor, do rich people not cherish money like this?"

"Besides playing with money, I really can't find any other words to describe this behavior."

"Might as well just burn the money; it would be faster."

"1 billion US dollars is enough for me not to eat or drink for hundreds of lifetimes of work."

The public's evaluation of Chen Fu's investment in Apple Company wasn't very good.

It wasn't that the evaluation was bad, but rather they didn't understand.

They couldn't imagine the concepts proposed by Apple phones, nor could they imagine what a phone without buttons and with direct touch screens would look like.

Chen Mo didn't really care.

When Apple phones come out, all the public opinion will vanish into thin air.
