Shirley Morgana's boss, Lind, quickly asked Shirley to return to the bank to learn more about her meeting with Chu Hang.

Is such a wealthy man coming to Wall Street just for fun?

Citibank's investment department was also investing in crude oil. They were doing hedging and had once mocked Chu Hang for being a person who was sending money to Wall Street. But then, Chu Hang made the right judgment on crude oil, the US military increased its troops in the Middle East, and crude oil began to fluctuate.

Under normal circumstances, crude oil prices should have risen this time because the war would block the transportation of Middle East oil, but this time crude oil prices fell.

Chu Hang made a lot of short selling and made a lot of money. But by the time Wall Street, this monster called the state, reacted and wanted to join the game, it was too late. After a wave of market trends, countless investment banks suffered heavy losses.

"How could he be optimistic about Apple? Jobs offended everyone. Is this guy crazy?

Shirley said, "Boss, he is the richest man in mainland China. Do you think he is crazy? I think he must have a plan. He is bearish on crude oil. Is he coming back to short Apple this time?"

"It's very possible. Apple's stock price is low right now. All of us have been driven crazy by that bastard Steve Jobs. We all want to sell. Since he wants to take over, let's talk to him."

"He is willing to buy our ass stocks at a 20% premium over the current price!"

“I think 50% is a suitable number!”

Linde wanted to take advantage of Chu Hang. Chu Hang made a lot of money from crude oil, so they were tempted. But he didn't know that at this time, if they could get Apple stocks, Chu Hang would be willing to give them even 100%, not to mention 50%.

The next day, Shirley brought Lind, the transfer contract and documents to see Chu Hang.

"Fifty percent?"

"Apple is a high-tech company, and Steve Jobs is working on a new generation of products with huge potential, so I think 50% is a suitable price!" Lind said seriously.

Your sister, you all were not optimistic about it, and now you are talking about high technology!

Is this the rhythm of adding money?

"But I heard that they are losing money, and I don't know when Jobs' new toy will be released. I hold Apple stock just to use it for financial management!"

"Sir, 50% is a good price. I won't accept anything less than that. And I know what you get out of crude oil!"

Ha ha!

Chu Hang nodded: "Okay, I agree. It seems that you have investigated me thoroughly. In this case, let's sign the contract!"

"Happy cooperation!"

Chu Hang was very happy, but he didn't know whether Citibank would be happy in the future. Chu Hang asked the other party to help greet other institutions.

Linde also agreed wholeheartedly!

Xiao Mo waited until they left and said, "I think they seem to have taken advantage. Are we at a disadvantage?"

Xie Qingyi was watching from the side. She also acted as an assistant in the rain and explained, "It's a loss. The market is not optimistic about Apple at all. They wanted to sell it a long time ago. Mr. Chu is willing to take it over, and he took it over at a high price. How can he not take advantage of it?"

Linde laughed and said: "It's normal to make profits and losses in business!

Lose money?

impossible!

As expected, Old Joe would enter the peak moment next, but Chu Hang knew that Old Joe would still cancel the press conference this time.

It was said that the press conference would be held in three days, but in reality, it was delayed to next week. By the time this news broke out, Wall Street was even less optimistic about Apple, and they still had a chance to make another acquisition.

Citigroup does not own many shares, only more than 30 million, which is not a large proportion of Apple's huge circulating shares. However, with Citigroup passing on the news, Wall Street will soon receive the news.

Chu Hang didn't have to go anywhere and wait for others. Just come to sign the contract with him. The next day, Xie Qingyi started to get busy. Since the morning, institutions, funds and even individual shareholders have been looking for Chu Hang to sell stocks.

Citibank also leaked Chu Hang's identity. The identity of the richest man in mainland China is of little use here, but Chu Hang, who cheated Wall Street in crude oil investment, is extremely powerful.

On the third day, Chu Hang had received more than 3% of Apple shares. He already had points of Apple shares in his hands, making him the largest natural person shareholder of Apple. This was enough for him to participate in the board of directors meeting and request a seat.

Those institutions did not sell all their stocks to Chu Hang, they still kept some. They were not stupid. After all, Apple was a high-tech company in the Eagle Country and was suitable for long-term holding.

That day, Xie Qingyi suddenly received a call: "Mr. Chu, the other party wants to talk to you."

"Who?"

Xie Qingyi shook his head, and Chu Hang answered the phone, "Hello!"

"Hello, Chu, I'm Jobs!"

Whoops!

Hello, big guy!

"I'm in New York, and I heard someone was buying up Apple stock, and I thought we should talk!"

The aggressive and commanding tone showed that he was indeed a big shot, but Chu Hang was not bad either. "Okay, come to my hotel. The brandy here is good!"

Jobs was silent for a while. He was working hard on the new generation of mobile phones in the company. Then he heard that major Wall Street institutions were selling their own stocks. This caused Apple's stock price to fall again, and the company's other shareholders became restless.

Jobs had to come to New York to negotiate with the institutions, and he wanted to meet Chu Hang. He couldn't understand why Chu Hang would buy stocks at this time.

Moreover, the stocks Chu Hang holds are enough to demand a board seat, with voting rights.

Jobs knew that because of him, the board of directors disliked him. If it happened again, the board of directors would drive him out of Apple, and all his efforts over the years would be wasted.

Historically, as the founder of Apple, he was driven out by the board of directors, and then he established Pixar Studios, which was the one that made the Finding Nemo animation. He is very awesome.

In the evening, Chu Hang met with Jobs. As expected, he was dressed like a big boss and remained so until his death, full of the aura of a wise big boss.

"Chu Hang!"

"I know you!" Jobs sat down and looked at Chu Hang. "In order to meet you, I spent two hours to learn about you. I know you are rich, but your investment in the East has nothing to do with Apple. We are a technology company, so I don't understand why you want to buy Apple's stock at a premium of half the market price. This is too incomprehensible!"

People will miss Jobs in the future, but for now he is still a grumpy president, like a child who has not grown up.

Chu Hang smiled and said, "I can tell you my purpose. I am not interested in a seat on Apple's board of directors. Everything I did was realized when I met you, Joe. I just want to sit down with you and have a good face-to-face talk!"

"Huh?" Jobs looked at Chu Hang, confused.
