    The animated feature film "Toy Story" by Pixar Animation, which took several years to produce, landed in theaters in North America on November 22, focusing on family fun during the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons.

    As expected, Disney's distribution capabilities are outstanding. 2,457 theaters in North America opened films at the same time, and in the first week, it raked in a box office of 29.14 million US dollars.

    Taking advantage of this enthusiasm, the filming started simultaneously in theaters around the world, and news of the success in various countries spread wildly.

    In the past two weeks of Shanghai Film, the global box office has exceeded 120 million U.S. dollars, showing more and more stamina.

    Film critics agree that "Toy Story" can break through the box office high of 300 million U.S. dollars, beat the hit "Batman Forever" and "Apollo 13", and is expected to be the annual box office champion.

    A week after "Toy Story" was released, Pixar Animation successfully landed on the NASDAQ market and became a listed company.

    After all, Jobs was a genius. He keenly saw the potential of Pixar's animation explosion, and chose to land on the stock market a week after the opening of "Toy Story", and it really became a hit.

    His logic is;

    Pixar's 3D animated feature film is a historic innovation, success is inevitable, and represents the development trend of animation. Disney must be aware of the threat and may launch mergers and acquisitions.

    At this time, when it landed on the stock market, Pixar Animation has sufficient cash and can obtain greater benefits in the negotiation.

    Needless to say, a genius is a genius after all, and everything was really what Jobs said.

    It's not easy to take advantage of Jobs. Not only did he see the next step for Disney, he even saw the next step.

    tonight

    It was a dinner to celebrate the success of the animated feature film "Toy Story". The invited guests were all influential figures, including the actress Dame Julie Andrews, the musician Sir Cliff Richard, and the famous politician Tony  Mr. Blair, these are all well-known and important people in the British peninsula.

    It can be said that the stars are twinkling and shining, showing the extraordinary connections between Disney and Jobs' circle of friends.

    "Hi! Jobs, congratulations on another success."

    "This should be our success, shouldn't it? Smart boss king."

    "Hahaha I only invest in you, Mr. Jobs, and I believe you will succeed."

    "Of course, we made history."

    The leader of Jobs is still so arrogant, even in the star-studded party, he stands out from the crowd, with a proud demeanor.

    This is a top entertainment star dinner in London. Wang Yaocheng attended with Si Wanru in an evening gown grandly, talking and laughing with old friends such as Jobs, Spielberg, and Paul McCartney.

    "Excuse me beautiful lady, can I borrow your male companion for a while?" Jobs was polite.

    Si Wanru smiled; "Please go ahead, sir, remember to return him to me, I found that there are many people watching here."

    "Hahaha I will definitely do it." Jobs couldn't help laughing, as if he suddenly remembered something; "Are you interested in cartoons? I would like to invite you to visit the Pixar animation studio, which is a very interesting place  .¡±

    "You called a company a very interesting place, which really aroused my interest, well, why not?" Si Wanru generously agreed to the invitation.

    Pixar Animation Studios is not far from Los Angeles, and it takes only a few hours to drive.

    ? A secluded cigar room

    "Boss King, my previous guess is correct. Disney has indeed expressed its intention to acquire, but I have not answered them for the time being, nor have I agreed to their acquisition." Jobs looked far away, with a smile on the corner of his mouth; "They feel threatened.  It's like sitting on pins and needles."

    "I support all your decisions."

    "Oh! No, you can't be so irresponsible, it's our company."

    "Jobs, my investment in this company is only to invest in your outstanding talent and vision, and I am not willing to interfere in the daily affairs of Pixar animation, including whether to sell yourself, all of which are up to you to decide, oh, yes, if you are optimistic about Yahoo search  Or video YouTube, I will leave some investment opportunities for you.¡±

    Wang Yaocheng doesn't want to bother God, as long as he is a qualified financial investor, it's too much fun to take a ride to make money, why bother God?

    "Thank you, all right! You convinced me, Boss, that Apple is in a very dire situation and may be facing bankruptcy." Jobs said with a gloomy expression; "They are in a very bad situation now.Want to hear what else you see?  "

    "It's not looking, it's analyzing." Wang Yaocheng glanced at him inscrutablely; "It's not difficult to guess, you will definitely get back part of the equity, but according to your economic situation, it is not enough to control the company and get what you want  The right to speak, because your funds"

    Wang Yaocheng made a small gesture with his hand very annoyed; "Too little, I'm afraid it won't exceed 10 million US dollars."

    "To be precise, it is 780,000 US dollars, you guessed it right."

    "The rest is very simple. You own two companies. Pixar animation is absolutely not for sale now. It must reach the moment when it can fully reflect the value. So you are a very smart manager. The idea of ??Disney taking advantage  It will definitely fail.

    It's the next company, am I right?  "

    "Gill Amelio contacted me, and the price is not negotiated now."

    In front of smart people, Mr. Jobs has nothing to hide. People guessed his underwear, but he seemed stingy when he was hiding; "I like to meet challenges, and returning to Apple has always been my long-cherished wish.  , where I have a lot of really great ideas that I can implement.¡±

    "Well, you are a very powerful person, you want me to entrust you with the voting rights of Apple, and be a qualified financial investor, don't you?"

    Jobs was completely speechless; "Boss King, I have been beaten to pieces by you, please don't act so evil?"

    "Ba"

    Snapping his fingers happily, Wang Yaocheng pretended to consider it; "You can choose from two options.

    First, I will ask Pacific Business Machines to authorize Apple to use the relevant patents to produce computer products. The proposed investment will not exceed um, 100 million US dollars, and I will be a qualified financial investor to alleviate Apple's current financial difficulties.

    Second, fully support, also as a qualified financial investor.  "

    Jobs smiled on his face; "Sculley will get the money to quit the board of directors. He holds 13 shares of Apple. I hope you can take them all."

    "And you?"

    Jobs spread his hands; "The current Apple company is a ship that is about to sink. All the shareholders on the board of directors have no confidence in it. I can collect enough shares with the money in my hand."

    "Okay, let your lawyer draft the documents. As long as Jobs works in Apple, all the shares I hold will be entrusted to you to vote on my behalf. I will only be a qualified financial investor, but I will send someone to supervise the finances."

    "No problem, happy cooperation."

    In 1980, Apple issued 4.6 million shares at a price of 22 US dollars per share. When the IPO closed on the first day, it had reached 1.778 billion US dollars, producing about 300 millionaires.

    In 1987, when the stock price was the highest, Apple's market value reached 3.538 billion US dollars, and then it fell endlessly.

    Today, at the end of 1995, Apple's market value was only US$502 million, less than one-seventh of the peak.

    This does not mean that Apple has only this little value left. The stock market is always distorted in value, voting with its feet for companies that perform poorly, and the price is extremely devalued.

    ?The advanced computer production lines and workshops with an annual production capacity of 5 million computers are worth more than 1.5 billion US dollars, not to mention the unique operating system and many patents.

    Of course, Apple Computer's debt is equally heavy, as high as more than one billion US dollars, and there are mountains of unsalable products, which almost crushed the company's waist.

    This situation happened to Wang An Computer, whose market value was less than 200 million US dollars at the time.

    It also appeared on Marvel Corporation, which was simply the price of cabbage in the most difficult time, which gave Wang Yaocheng a big bargain.

    Now, this guy is ready to replicate his success and attack the lovely Apple.

    Over there

    Jobs finally found the big water hose with the thickest thigh, and showed a long-lost smile. As long as the lawyers of both parties sign the equity entrustment agreement, all hidden dangers will disappear.

    What's more, the boss king is very generous, and if he asks his lawyer to draft the agreement, there will be no problems, and everyone is happy.

    Wang Yaocheng was very happy.

    Years of hard work and planning finally paid off. The goodwill of the past few years has not been wiped out. Not only can the investment in Pixar Animation be rich, but there is also a whole golden mountain waiting to be harvested.

    ? Seeing foreigners working hard to make money for themselves, and the American government spared no effort to stand up for their company, this sense of accomplishment is so refreshing, as comfortable as eating ice water for three or nine days.

    Ma Dan, this ride is a ride, great!  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
