Li Mu got the transfer agreement of Apple shareholders and also got the competition agreement of Jobs, which really made him feel relieved.

Next, as long as Makino Technology pays the acquisition payment to Apple shareholders at 90% of US$4.15, these agreements will officially take effect. In addition, more than 90% of Apple's employees will sign a new labor agreement with Makino Technology. By that time, Apple will be completely digested by Makino Technology.

After digesting Apple, Li Mu's next strategic goal for the mobile Internet era is mobile microprocessors. Whether it is Arm, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, and TSMC, future Muye Technology will have to make a breakthrough for microprocessor chips for itself. It is difficult for Chinese companies to reverse and catch up, but in the mobile Internet era, it is an excellent opportunity for Li Mu to catch up.

After a busy day, when Li Mu returned to the hotel, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. Su Yingxue opened the door for Li Mu. Seeing that he looked a little tired, he hurriedly asked him with concern: "Have you been busy until now? Have you had dinner?"

Li Mu nodded and said, "After eating a working meal, what about you? What are you doing today?"

Su Yingxue smiled and said, "I haven't gone out today. I've had breakfast and read some books, I've had lunch and bask in the sun, I've swam for a while, and I've been reading books before and after dinner."

After saying that, Su Yingxue asked Li Mu: "You must be exhausted today, are you?"

Li Mu nodded and said with a smile: "Although I'm tired, I'm very happy."

Su Yingxue said: "That must have accomplished some amazing things. Should I tell you to me?"

Li Mu pulled her down on the sofa and said excitedly: "The senior executives of Apple just signed an agreement with me. Now I already have more than 80% of Apple's shares. In the near future, this amount will be expanded to 100%.

Su Yingxue said in surprise: "That's really great. Your most important goal in Silicon Valley this time has basically been achieved."

Li Mu said: "This goal has been achieved, but there is another goal. The progress has not been confirmed yet. It is the matter of Muye Technology's investment in Google. When Apple's matter comes to an end, I will follow up on this matter. There should be no problem."

Su Yingxue smiled and said, "Will Silicon Valley usher in a new wave of accepting investment or acquisitions from Makino Technology?"

Li Mu nodded and said seriously: "It is very likely that there are too many startups in Silicon Valley. They need money and resources to accelerate the development of projects. The capital party can only give money, but what I can give is money and resources. Muye Technology's strong user base on a global scale will become a startup resource that countless startups are rushing to. Perhaps in the near future, I will become the largest angel investor in Silicon Valley, and Muye Technology will also become the company with the widest coverage of the entire Internet industry. In the future, our subsidiaries and the companies we invest in may be able to add up."

Su Yingxue held her chin and listened very devotedly to Li Mu planning the future of the company. After Li Mu finished speaking confidently, she couldn't help but sigh to Li Mu: "Do you know, I have been thinking about a question all the time, but I haven't come up with the answer until now."

Li Mu asked her: "What's the problem?"

Su Yingxue said: "I was wondering, what made you change so drastically. Many times I think of you, just like the introverted boy in the class who was not very talkative and not very focused on learning. The next second suddenly became a genius entrepreneur who attracted the attention of the whole world. The contrast between the past and the future is too big. Most people will never achieve such a huge contrast in their entire lives, but you only took such a short time to achieve it, but how did you do it?"

Li Mu guessed that Su Yingxue would ask such a question. He smiled slightly and said calmly: "There is a story about Archimedes. You are a student of economics. You must have heard of it. This story tells that Archimedes played chess with the king, but the king lost. He asked Archimedes, what kind of reward do you want? Archimedes said, I just put one grain of wheat on the first grid of the chessboard, two grains on the second grid, four grains on the third grid, and eight grains on the fourth grid. The number of wheat grains in the latter grid is always twice the previous grid. The king initially thought it was easy, but after finding someone to calculate it, it was far from enough to count the wheat in the whole country."

Su Yingxue nodded and said, "This story is mainly about promoting mathematics in another way, but the version I know is slightly different from yours. In the version I see, Archimedes asked the king for rice grains rather than wheat in the story."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Don't explore the authenticity of the story first. It is inappropriate to analyze rice grains simply from the history of ancient Greece. The staple food in ancient Greece should be mainly wheat."

"Okay..." Su Yingxue stuck out her tongue, observed Li Mu with big eyes, and asked with a smile: "Then is there your answer in this story?"

Li Mu nodded and said, "Yes, of course, yes. You imagine every square of the chessboard to be every step in the progress of a person. Each step is a math problem. It may be multiplication, division, addition, and more likely subtraction. If you choose to start a business, it is equivalent to choosing to multiply and divide in the future. If you choose a stable job, it is equivalent to choosing to add or subtract in the future."

"If you seek stability from the beginning, like our parents, you just want to do addition safely throughout your life, then after going through hundreds or thousands of grids, you may be able to go from 1 to 1,000, but given that you use so many grids in between, no one is surprised about this trajectory;"

"If you want to fight for a big shot at the beginning, then you may do multiplication and division like many entrepreneurs from the beginning. Perhaps after ten grids, you will change from 1 to 100 million or more, but maybe multiply by 0 at the eleventh grid and become nothing. No matter which one, the huge contrast between the front and back makes people surprised, so the entrepreneurial story of getting rich overnight or returning to zero overnight is always the most popular one among the people."

"If you choose to start a business, and you have accurate vision and are just lucky, then every step you make is constantly multiplying like Archimedes' chessboard, one step, ten steps, dozens of steps, even if each step is only multiplied by two on average, it will accumulate to more than 500 billion when it reaches the fortieth step; if it is multiplied by three or forty steps, it is already in units of tens of trillions. Every successful rich man we see is carrying out such rapid capital growth, and I am no exception."

Speaking of this, Li Mu paused and said, "I took the first step of my business during the summer vacation when I graduated from high school, which was equivalent to taking the first lattice of the chessboard in my life. Fortunately, my first step was successful. It gave me the courage and confidence to continue moving forward, and the capital to continue moving forward. So, from that time on, I have been multiplying every step I will;

Fortunately, among the many grids I have taken, every step is considered very successful. I just lowered my head and walked forward one by one. After walking through dozens of these grids, I looked back and realized that I had accumulated so much harvest along the way. Just like Archimedes' chessboard, when starting from the first grid, no one cares about that grain of wheat. But when you succeed and reach the tenth grid, others will be surprised to find that you have already set a huge distance from the first grid. You are also surprised and surprised at this distance. But if you look closely at the multiplication I made on each grid, you will find that in fact, all this is traceable."

Su Yingxue was silent for a long time, and then nodded gently after a long time, saying, "I understand that it is not a certain change that has allowed you to go all the way to today, but you are constantly changing on the road to today."

"Yes." Li Mu smiled faintly, "I can't believe that I can get to where I am today. If my first step failed, everything that follows might not happen again. Today we may still live an ordinary university life on the campus of Renmin University. There will be no 3321, let alone any Muye Technology and Taobao."

Su Yingxue asked Li Mu: "If that were the case, what would happen to us now?"

Li Mu thought about it and said with a smile: "We should be a more enviable campus couple in Renmin University. Then we decided to take the relationship a step further. I will work hard to make some money this summer after the end of my sophomore year, and then rent a house or a small house near Renmin University after returning from my junior year, and then live the same kind of cohabitation life that other college couples live."

Li Mu was not talking nonsense. Most campus couples consider cohabiting in the middle and late stages of college. On the one hand, it is emotional and physiological needs, and on the other hand, it also comes from economic cost-effectiveness considerations. When the consumption of opening a room is much larger than renting a house, many young people involuntarily began to consider renting a house.

After two years of college life, Su Yingxue also knew that such things were almost normal. Some couples from Renmin University had rented a cheap small house outside when they were in their sophomore year and quietly started living together.

Therefore, Su Yingxue rarely had shame, but couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that life is quite interesting, but your current situation will never be able to return to that state again."

Li Mu said in a silence: "Actually we had the opportunity earlier. Do you still remember Yucheng Garden? The house I rented next to Renmin University."

Su Yingxue pursed her lips and nodded gently.

How could she not remember that place? She and Li Mu had several chances to go further, all of which happened there, but by chance they went in the wrong direction. Just like Li Mu's chessboard theory, suddenly, in the grid where multiplication was done, he chose to multiply by 1...

Thinking of this, Su Yingxue made a secret decision in her heart, and then she asked Li Mu: "You are tired for a day, should you go take a shower and have a breakfast?"

Li Mu thought Su Yingxue was unwilling to discuss this topic. In order to avoid unnecessary embarrassment, he nodded and said, "It's really too tiring today, so I'll go take a shower first."

Su Yingxue said: "Go, I'll go back and rest too."

...

Li Mu took a hot bath. The hot water relieved his spirits a lot, but it also made people feel even more tired, so he fell asleep in bed after almost five minutes.

I don’t know how long I slept, but Li Mu suddenly felt a little strange. When he opened his eyes, Su Yingxue was already lying in his arms. What made Li Mu not come to his senses was that there was no barrier between the two, and he could clearly feel that her body was obviously much hotter than her.

Li Mu thought she was sick and asked her: "Yingxue, do you have a fever?"

In the darkness, Su Yingxue's big eyes flashed with a different kind of spirit. She leaned into Li Mu's arms and said, "How great would it be if we were in Yucheng Garden now..."

Li Mu hugged her tightly and said softly: "If you want to go, I will take you there after you return to China."

Su Yingxue asked him: "Have you not returned that house yet?"

Li Mu said: "I bought it."

Su Yingxue nodded, hesitated for a moment, raised her head and looked at Li Mu, and said, "But I don't want to wait any longer."
