King of Hollywood Chapter 217: My collection…
Adrian couldn’t help but know how great the vitality of the original crumbling apple glowed after Jobs returned to Apple. This is one of the reasons why he would have a good relationship with Jobs, Pixar is the second.
But he didn’t know why Jobs could return to Apple, and he didn’t know why he would direct Apple to change direction. Maybe Pixar’s success increased his chips and affected him, but maybe not, who knows?
Of course, just like the famous motto of Hollywood: No one is indispensable, and Jobs is not 100% indispensable. If you let Adrian sit in Apple’s place, as long as Jonathan? Ivey those core designers Still, he may not be able to compete with Jobs, but at least he can achieve 80% of his achievements. Well, this example may not be appropriate. It should be said that if there is no Jobs, or Apple will fall down, or they find a better one, so as to create more brilliant results. The reason why the future is attractive is because of its Uncertainty.
But this is exactly the situation that Adrian wants to avoid. His biggest advantage is relying on the prophet, and avoiding the butterfly effect over nature is what he always pays attention to. Besides, the Apple with Jobs will be a huge cake in the future. Pixar's benefits will be a drop in the ocean compared to it. It would be a pity if it was lost.
However, if you really choose to share Pixar's rights with Steve Jobs, I'm afraid you will have to bargain with him later when integrating animation. This guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp. So, in the end how to do it, Adrian has to think about it.
It took only a few days for Adrian to make its own decision.
"You mean to spend tens of millions to buy a computer animation studio that has been losing money for seven years in a row, losing more than one million a year?" Opening the wine cabinet in his study, Crowder took it from After a bottle of wine and two glasses came out, he turned and stared at Adrian while pouring the wine and asked.
"No more than 50 million. Uncle Regatt collected some information for me. Just a few weeks ago, Jobs thought of selling to Microsoft at this price, but Microsoft thought the asking price was too high and I didn’t accept it. I don’t think Jobs will still offer a higher price now." Adrian said indifferently, took the glass high and looked closely, then shook it a few times and placed it under his nose to take a deep breath before finally closing. Take a bite in your eyes.
"Margo in 1983? You will really enjoy it, Crow." He opened his eyes and looked at his buddy in surprise.
"Because I want to entertain you," Claude shrugged and followed with a curious look. "How did you taste it for the first time? You also got the year right."
"The bottle is right in front of me. I still know the numbers and phrases above." Adrian pointed to the bottle in his hand.
Claude's mouth widened in amazement, followed by a smile: "Do you think I'm Conan Doyle in a taxi?"
Adrian didn't speak. After tasting red wine again, he looked at Claude again. Of course Claude knew what he meant, and shook his head and smiled and said: "No problem, I will contact Jobs."
This time it was changed to Adrian with a stunned look. He looked at Claude for a few seconds and then asked with a surprised tone: "Wait, Crow, you said...you promised Alright?"
"Yes, yes, what's wrong?" Claude shrugged puzzled. "Did you regret it again?"
"No No No" Adrian waved his hands again and again and looked at him with eyes looking like rare animals. "Aren't you supposed to object? Shouldn't you talk about investment and risk? Shouldn't you fight to dispel my thoughts?" "
"Yes, I did think this way at first. Although I collected some information and consulted some professionals, I thought that computer animation was promising, but I spent so much money to buy a continuous loss. The studio for several years is not a wise move." Claude said with a gesture. "But, think about it, I have rejected your proposal several times in a row. If this happens again, my position is likely. This is not guaranteed, so... I compromised."
The disturbing appearance made Adrian's mouth twitch straight, but he quickly pressed himself and waved his hand to reveal a very hurtful and anxious look: "How can you do this, Crow, you should continue to stick to the principles you should Continue to oppose, continue to persuade me not to take such a big risk"
"Hey, what's going on? Why do you want me to agree when I disagree; and when I agree, you don't want me to agree?" Claude looked at him inexplicably. .
"Because I have planned for a long time, you will disrupt my plan." Adrian put down the wine glass in his hands and spread his hands, and then explained it without waiting for Claude to ask: "I have proposed me a few times. I know that you are very likely to oppose this acquisition, because you are always very stable in these matters. So I prepared early and let Uncle Regett buy it for me in private under the veto. Down Pixar. Then wait for Pixar to take off and then integrate it into the media to further squeeze your 25% stake"
"You actually counted me like this" Claude looked at him with a shocked look.
"Hey, how can I talk like this, I obviously have discussed with you first, but you rejected this proposal, of course I had to pay for it myself." Adrian raised his hand innocently, "This is very Normal business conduct."
"But I have agreed now, and you have asked me to veto, which is not a calculation or what?" Claude said a little irritably.
"Have you ever seen anything like this...hey... do you have a plan? You are...hey... idiot... I warn you, Crow, I’m welcome to you if you do this again Adrian reached out to deal with Crowder's fist, frowning and saying in a warning tone.
"Is it, kid?" Claude jumped up immediately and gestured his fist at him. "Do you want to make two strokes?"
This situation Adrian could not help but stunned slightly, some pictures suddenly flashed from his mind, he knew that it was his own memory before, but, he had also played with Claude in private clubs several times before. Boxing, but why there is now an inexplicable emotion spreading from my heart, although it only disappears after a few seconds, but...
The Adrian suddenly laughed and jumped, followed by pulling a button from the neckline and waving it up, waving to Claude: "Come here if you want to be beaten."
"Speaking so confidently, Ed," Claude tried a few punches, "I want to beat you effortlessly, if not this is in my study, if I am not without If you wear a fist, you lie long ago...ah"
With a thump, Claude fell to the ground, and Adrian, who violently threw his fist, walked forward because of the strength, and then looked at Claude with his head lying on the ground.
"You are still the same, nothing has changed, and my fist has not touched you yet." He said teasingly.
"Do you want me to lie down when you hit it? You guys who are not light and heavy." Claude sat up and said sadly, "There is no..."
He closed his mouth suddenly, Adrian was stunned for a moment, then understood what he was worried about, and could not help smiling freely: "It doesn't matter, you can at least tell my godfather."
"Don't mention it, my father will only let me hit it again with my fist." Claude stood lazily.
The two stretched their fists and punched the fist, then smiled at each other, and some things were unnecessary for the dead party.
"How about finding a chance to get on the stage and play a full two rounds?" Claude said back in his chair.
"No problem, be there at any time." Adrian, who also sat back in his chair, clapped and agreed.
"So, I will contact Jobs as soon as possible," Claude pulled the topic back, "The bottom line is that you must get Pixar, right?"
"Yes." Adrian nodded. "It's best that you personally come to negotiate with him, expressing our importance and attaching importance to Jobs. I'm sure we will get more from him."
"As you wish." Claude raised his hands, and then thought of something with a smirk, "Well, if there is no accident, we will soon get Pixar's ownership, you can't Calculate me with that method."
"Unfortunately, I have made Uncle Regget ready to buy the Silicon and Neural Bond Studio, so I have the opportunity." Adrian said with a sneer.
"You are so confident?" Crowder raised an eyebrow.
"Wait and see, Crow." Adrian laughed, "How about opening a good bottle of wine to celebrate?"
"Drink the bottle you opened before talking." Claude raised the bottle in his hand.
"That's unbelievable and okay, you have a lot of good wines collected, how can you use the 83-year-old Magor to perfume me," Adrian said for a while, "It would be better to put that bottle of 1784 Diqin winery Open your white wine."
"Don't even think about it, it's already a collection that can only be watched. If you drink it, it's simply overcrowding," Claude yelled.
"It’s the tyrannical thing that you don’t drink~IndoMTL.com~Adrian grunted, but then waved your hand: "Okay, okay, I don’t want your collection idea. "
He didn't really pay attention to the bottle of wine, just took this opportunity to tease Claude. Collectibles are more like loot in a sense, and more are used to show off. For example, those who like to collect famous paintings or antiques always like to display these things in front of guests, and even ordinary people will collect stamps or other things. Many animals also have this custom, and humans are all higher animals.
"I remember you used to collect cars, but now it seems that you are not interested anymore?" Claude asked suddenly.
"Yes, it's transferred." Adrian nodded.
"So what are you collecting now?" Claude asked with interest.
Adrian wanted to say nothing, but an idea suddenly came out of my mind.
"I am now..." he said slowly, looking at the dark red cup in his hand, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "collecting woman" ()
