Chapter 261 Little Notebook 2
The main reason is that Wu Tao is too rich now, and he's the kind of crazy person who doesn't consider the consequences of his actions.
Since Wu Tao's Apple Technology Company successfully raised funds a few years ago, it has successively launched the second and third generation of Apple phones.
Even though Apple is not publicly listed, its market value has already exceeded $100 billion.
Many people predict that once Apple goes public, its market capitalization will inevitably exceed one trillion dollars.
After three rounds of financing, Apple's market value exceeded 100 billion, and Wu Tao transferred 80% of his shares.
Of course, whoever acquires the shares will sign a nominee voting rights agreement with Wu Tao.
To put it bluntly, even though Wu Tao only owns 20% of Apple's shares, he has 100% control over the group.
No one wants Apple to change its leader, but the fact that Apple, founded by Wu Tao, is soaring to new heights is entirely due to his personal abilities.
Major investment banks invest in Apple to maximize their own profits. They don't care what Wu Tao did, as long as he can lead Apple to greater heights.
After selling his shares three times, Wu Tao's personal cash assets had long since exceeded 50 billion, reaching 53 billion.
When Apple was valued at $10 billion for the first time, Wu Tao sold 30% of his shares and received $3 billion in cash.
When Apple's valuation reached 50 billion, Wu Tao sold 20% of the shares, receiving 10 billion in one go.
During the third round of financing, Apple's valuation had exceeded 100 billion. Wu Tao once again offered 30% of the shares, which was also the last time he offered them. Several major investment banks directly paid a premium of 40 billion to acquire these 30% of the shares.
Before Apple goes public, Wu Tao will again give 5% of the company's revenue to its senior executives.
Even with just a 15 percent stake in Apple, his assets have already exceeded 100 billion.
Apart from his shares in Apple, he has invested 53 billion yuan in cash in Jiutian Capital.
Wu Tao controlled many companies through Jiutian Capital, and his war against those families who mocked him was orchestrated using Jiutian Capital.
To put it bluntly, Wu Tao's unreasonable revenge is simply a waste of money.
He could retaliate against the other party regardless of the cost, even if it resulted in losses of hundreds of millions. However, the other party's losses would definitely be greater than Wu Tao's, although the accounts wouldn't be calculated that way.
Despite several conflicts, Wu Tao's Jiutian Capital not only suffered no losses, but its value surged by several billion yuan again.
This has frightened everyone, and some of them have even considered using certain methods.
The problem is that Wu Tao has received three rounds of funding from Apple, and the powerful backer behind him is unlikely to stand by and watch Wu Tao be framed.
Normal business competition is acceptable, but other methods are not.
Besides, Wu Tao himself is not afraid of using violence to fight violence, and he is currently protected by dozens of elite bodyguards all year round.
There are always five cars when we go out, so it's hard to say which one we're in.
Moreover, Wu Tao's biggest trump card is not these.
Putting aside his individual combat capabilities, even in the most dangerous situations, with his personal space, no one can do anything to him.
It was precisely because of this indestructible and unbreakable ability that Wu Tao completely terrified those who had offended him.
Some people even offered a reward of 1 billion yuan to find out whose names were on the red marriage certificate that Wu Tao always carried with him.
Those who had mocked Wu Tao behind his back in their small circles all came to his door in person, offering generous cooperation terms to apologize to him.
Wu Tao accepted all comers; in reality, he only had a few targets listed in his portfolio. He wasn't truly insane, nor did he genuinely intend to take on all the challengers alone.
However, Wu Tao wouldn't explain himself when faced with the benefits that were being offered to him.
Those who have given gifts naturally no longer need to worry about retaliation, while those who have no means to apologize will be terrified, fearing that retaliation may come one day.
Wu Tao later casually mentioned that he had dealt with all his enemies, which finally put everyone at ease.
However, when facing Wu Tao again, everyone must be respectful.
Wu Tao has thoroughly established himself as an unapproachable figure in the public eye.
Looking back at what the Bai family did, it was as if they were dancing on the Buddha's head.
Especially that idiot He Qiang, who gave him the courage to cheat on Wu Tao?
Cheating might feel good for a moment, but now look what's happened. The once-proud young master of the He family has been reduced to selling sweet potatoes on the street.
If He Qiang behaves himself, even if He Cheng doesn't like him, he can still have a place in the capital.
The He family has long since severed ties with He Qiang, and even He Qiang's own mother doesn't dare to help him anymore.
He Cheng's father said that if He Qiang's mother dared to give him a single penny, she should get out of the He family.
Even for the sake of her own wealth and status, He Qiang's mother dared not offend Wu Tao.
At that time, she will probably end up living in a dilapidated old neighborhood just like the Bai family.
Anyone would be afraid when it comes to themselves.
He Qiang has now achieved his goal, though he has considered rebelling. The problem is that no matter what job he finds, he will be fired soon.
If he wants to go to another place or go abroad, he will find that his ID card and passport have disappeared.
Even if he sneaks out, he will soon be forced to return to the capital for various reasons.
It's as if Wu Tao had already drawn a circle for him, and he could only move within that circle.
Like Bai Fugui and Hu Jing, they too have considered giving it their all. The key is that, aside from odd jobs, any other work or business venture they undertake will likely fail.
Wu Tao didn't kill them, but he deliberately let them live under his nose.
This incident later further confirmed that Wu Tao was petty.
Those scions of wealthy families, looking at the current state of the Bai family and He Qiang's plight, would feel a chill run down their spines even in the sweltering summer heat.
That's too cruel. Living such a stifling life, they would probably rather die.
The key is that even death is difficult for them; someone will jump into the river and rescue them the moment they jump in.
Even if you try to cut your wrists while hiding at home, someone will break down the door immediately; and you can't buy any effective poison even if you try to take medicine.
To ensure their survival, Wu Tao personally arranged for many people to surround them.
Even though it costs millions of yuan a month to pay for this, Wu Tao feels happy to see them struggling to survive.
This sense of satisfaction, even if it costs millions, should be maintained.
The existence of the Bai family and He Qiang can also serve as a warning to others, making them think about the consequences of their failure before offending Wu Tao.
Wu Tao is not invincible; the key issue is that his current Apple technology company is too unfair.
This cutting-edge technology, along with its constantly evolving and stylish designs, has put Apple iPhones far ahead of their competitors.
