    "30%" Su Zhen said.  "What?" Jobs was a little confused.  "Cross-holding, I exchanged 30% of MGM's shares for 50% of Pixar's shares," Su Zhen said.  "Oh, Su, you have to know that Pixar's current market value has exceeded 7 billion US dollars, and the price you paid for MGM was only 6 billion" Before Jobs could finish, he was interrupted by Su Zhen.  "Okay, Steve, we all know how unreliable this algorithm is. How about 31%?" Su Zhen said with a smile and shook his head. It was indeed as Jobs said. On the surface, Pixar's price is higher than rice.  It¡¯s important to have a high score for GM, but that¡¯s not the calculation if you don¡¯t pay the bills. You have to know that Pixar is a listed company, and the market value and actual value of a company are two different things. If the market value is turned into cash, it will shrink a lot, and although MGM is one of the eight major  It is one of the film companies, but it is rare that it is not a listed company. When Su Zhen acquired MGM, he spent a lot of cash, so in terms of actual value, MGM is far higher than Pixar, and the reason why Jobs said that  , it¡¯s just for bargaining, but it also means that this deal is promising.  "No, no, no, Su, you have to know that Pixar is the best 3D animation special effects company in Hollywood. Its potential value is far more than that. How about 40%?" Jobs countered with a smile. In fact, he treated Apple and  Pixar is completely different. Apple is like his child to him, and Pixar Studio is just a tool for him to make money, so as long as the price is right, he doesn't mind selling Pixar at all.  "You are too greedy, Steve, 32%" Su Zhen rolled his eyes and said.  "39" "33" "38" "34".  The two of them negotiated the price point by point, just like buying vegetables at the wet market.  "OK, 35%. If that doesn't work, I can only consider acquiring DreamWorks or Blue Sky Studio," Su Zhen said helplessly in the end. In terms of bargaining, Su Zhen was still far behind an old slicker like Steve Jobs.  Although Blue Sky Studio and DreamWorks Animation are also good choices, Su Zhen feels that if you want to buy, buy the best one. In terms of 3D animation special effects technology, Pixar is undoubtedly the best.  Jobs nodded. He also knew that this price was almost Su Zhen¡¯s bottom line, so he would accept it as soon as it was good.  So the two reached an agreement to exchange 35% of MGM¡¯s equity for 50% of Pixar¡¯s equity. Of course, the 50% equity of Pixar will definitely not be all owned by Jobs.  After all, Jobs only owns 50% of the shares. These shares will be divided among all shareholders, and MGM's shares will naturally be distributed to those Pixar shareholders in proportion, so that all the benefits will be shared.  "After we finish talking about business, we should have some music to celebrate, right?" Su Zhen looked at him with doubtful eyes.  Jobs smiled and walked to the back wall of the office. Then he took the remote control he got out of nowhere and pressed it. The entire wall moved to both sides, revealing a set of extremely ancient and luxurious audio equipment behind the wall.  , but what surprised Su Zhen was not this set of audio equipment. After all, although this kind of old-fashioned audio equipment is rare, it cannot be said to be precious.  You can find it for as much as 18,000 yuan. What really surprised Su Zhen was the shelf behind the stereo - the shelf was filled with records. These records were not the current CDs and DVDs, but the ancestor of records-LP.  That is, vinyl records that most people in China have only seen from TV movies.  ¡°This is really crazy,¡± Su Zhen said dumbfoundedly as he looked at the shelf full of vinyl records. Even a person like him who didn¡¯t pay much attention to music knew that there were so many vinyl records.  It takes a lot of effort to collect them.  ¡°To listen to music, you have to listen to vinyl records.¡± Jobs smiled and took out a record and gently put it down on the record player. Soon, melodious music began to float in the office.  Vinyl records - to be precise, they should be Bakelite records, because they also come in other colors, but most of them are black, so they are called vinyl records.  Vinyl records can be said to be the most convincing music signal source in the history of human audio and music. It dominated the music signal source throughout the 20th century. It was not until the emergence of the CD player in 1984 that it withdrew from the mainstream stage.  Nowadays, it can only be seen in many DJs. However, even though it is no longer mainstream, in the minds of many audiophiles and music lovers, vinyl records are still the most perfect way to play music.  The reason is simple, because the ethereal and live feeling brought by the music played by vinyl records cannot be replaced by CDs and digital players. Generally speaking, true music lovers will listen to the music played by vinyl records.  You will find the sharp and rough digital sound of CD records and digital players simply unbearable Even a music idiot like Su Zhen can tell that the sound of vinyl records is indeed much better. It is precisely because of this that in many important  Audio materials are stored on it, and basically all countries still use vinyl records.    But Su Zhen will not do this just because it sounds good. In fact, Su Zhen is no stranger to vinyl records. Don¡¯t forget that one of his girlfriends, Avril Lavigne, a famous singer, is a serious person.  Avril is an audiophile. Although her collection of vinyl records is not as large as that of Steve Jobs, it is still quite large. However, their collection types are completely different. Avril's collection is heavy metal punk, and most of her collections are rock music, while Steve's collection is mostly rock music.  classical music.  Precisely because he knew something about vinyl records, Su Zhen would not get this thing even if he died Without it, it would be too troublesome. First, there is the capacity issue. Generally, a vinyl record is single-sided.  The capacity is only about five minutes, so if it is a long piece of music like a symphony, you may need several records, and if you want to listen to vinyl records, you need one record to listen patiently from beginning to end. It does not have CDs and  Digital music has such a convenient song selection mode. Secondly, it requires careful storage. Vinyl records are easy to damage, so you must pay great attention to preservation. The records must be carefully dusted after each playback. The record player and stylus also need to be cleaned frequently, which is very troublesome.  With Su Zhen's relatively free-spirited temperament, he is really not suitable for playing this game. Only a person like Jobs who pursues Zen can calm down and enjoy this kind of tranquil enjoyment. Of course, it is not impossible for Su Zhen to collect this kind of stuff.  Just leave the preservation and maintenance to your subordinatesbut then the meaning of the collection will be completely lost.  But then again, Avril Lavigne is not the kind of person to be quiet, so how can she tolerate "slow" music like vinyl records?  Su Zhen was sitting here, already feeling restless after listening to less than two records.  Jobs also noticed Su Zhen's discomfort - and soon understood why. However, he could only lament that young people nowadays are really a little impetuous.  If Su Zhen knew what Jobs was thinking, he would definitely sneeze at him. Your sister didn¡¯t even look at what kind of music you were playing. Two grown men would play Bach¡¯s Matthew Passion together, which is unbearable for me.  So when Su Zhen walked out of Jobs' office, his whole face was green, and the executives at Apple laughed secretly when they saw this, another poor guy who was tortured by Jobs's bad taste.  Next time, I should take Jobs to Avril Lavigne¡¯s place to listen to Obituary (a famous American death metal band) for an hour or two, so that he can have a taste of it, Su Zhen thought fiercely.
