Chapter 905 The Great God Who Was Drowned by the American Sword
"Don't think about Warren, the bastards down there are fools, and it's not stupid to be a family. ”
"Alas, it's a pity, they're not good people anyway, you can pinch them casually. ”
The price of 35 US dollars opened, but with just a cup of tea, Pixar's stock price approached the integer mark of 40 US dollars.
The company that has only made one movie has a market value of 1.5 billion, and the entire NASDAQ and even Wall Street are completely in an inexplicable frenzy.
"Larry, I did it. Qiao Dashen was very excited, but his popularity was really not good. At this time, the only one who can share the joy with him is Larry Ellison.
"Congratulations, Steve, you're on the cusp of time again. ”
"Hahaha, I think the expressions of those guys must be very exciting, but unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to watch it. ”
"Not necessarily, I've heard that someone has proposed to let you go back. Steve, you think about whether you need to be this savior. ”
"Well, I do need to calm down. ”
With a cost of about 30 million, it now seems that the global box office is at least 350 million US dollars. If you add those peripheral products, this is the rhythm of making crazy money.
The first film was a success, and most importantly, it was a series. According to the announcement disclosed by the company, Disney signed a ten-year contract with them for six films.
The conditions are not very good, but they are definitely not bad. With a solid backing, the future of this company needs to be said.
Look at those toys, they're crazy. If you don't invest in this kind of company, what are you waiting to invest in?
"Damn, he's over sixty, damn it, Old Joe must be happy, right? ”
Filson smiled bitterly, with a market value of two billion US dollars, you can make a lot of money. The world is simply crazy, once upon a time, Paramount was also valued at tens of billions.
"Spear, this is really outrageous, if he Pixar is worth two billion, DreamWorks should be worth ten billion. ”
Seeing Lucas, who had a careful eye attack, Spielberg didn't know what to say.
If you want to blame, blame your melon mother. If it weren't for the divorce, you wouldn't have sold this company.
Lucas was depressed, and it was really not for nothing. A group of guys from Pixar are the same people from his former Skywalker farm.
Not to mention Lucas's depression, Fillson also happened to talk about the hapless Lucas.
"No way, if Pixar was in Lucas's hands, he would still be on that farm. You know, once you seek stability, there will be no breakthroughs.
Of course, with a Star Wars in hand, even if you are basically a winner in life, there really shouldn't be any reason to complain. ”
"This slap in the face, Da Mo and Goldman Sachs are uncomfortable. ”
"They need a change, and they always think that they can't take advantage of it, and that's the lesson. ”
Looking at the front page headlines of the Wall Street Journal, William White smiled happily. Old Joe, old Joe, how hateful you are!
Steve Jobs made a comeback and used Pixar's IPO to become a billionaire.
What's that, although Lao Qiao has not been smooth all these years, but since Apple's IPO, this guy has always been a billionaire, right?
Not to mention anything else, you're not even a billionaire, so why are you embarrassed to negotiate with William White.
A group of analysts frantically complained, and they agreed that the valuation of two billion US dollars is a manifestation of the market's loss of mind. Most of the head was earned by Disney, and Pixar was just a coolie.
"The valuation of the company is not determined by me, but by the market, which is the meaning of existence.
In the last 100 years, we are the second company to launch a blockbuster cartoon.
As for Disney, those analysts are not right, if Disney takes 90% of the profits, what company will I start, it's ridiculous. ”
"Mr. Steve, could you please give us the details?"
"No need to disclose, our announcements are all prompted. It's almost a fifty-fifty account, and they're going to contribute.
Invest 50% and get 50% profit, which is very fair. ”
With a click, the editor-in-chief of the Wall Street Journal was heartbroken. Nima, don't take such a slap in the face, our newspaper has just been sold, and you tell me that you will split the account fifty-fifty.
Damn, what does NBC have to do with this guy?
"Lord, editor-in-chief, Steve and William White have a good relationship, it's no secret in Silicon Valley. ”
"Bastard, why didn't you say it earlier. Are you happy to see me make a fool of myself?"
The subordinates couldn't help but complain to themselves, if you have no reason, how can you make this kind of report headline. Now come out and pretend to be innocent, well, you're the boss, I'll see how long you can scream.
Old Joe now realizes William White's cleverness, he is in front of the camera, and he can completely brag nonsense.
You see, Disney turned out to disagree, and due to the success of Toy Story, they changed their minds.
This is very important, if you Pixar become a vassal of Disney, then it is of little value. In other words, there is not much room for imagination.
Isn't that what stocks are? You have to be able to tell a story first, and secondly, you have a very credible story.
Difficult to negotiate with Disney?
It's inevitable, if you have the final say on everything, Disney is still a Hollywood giant.
"Mr. White's shares? No, no, no, you don't understand, that's only fractional voting shares. In fact, more than 60 percent of Pixar's voting rights are in my hands.
You know, I want the company to be able to bring more profits to the shareholders. ”
Although many insiders know that this product is scared by Apple and does not want to be swept out of the house again. However, investors are not all insiders. Looking at the eloquent Qiao Dashen, many people still voted firmly.
Cartoons are for money, The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Toy Story.
These so-called animated movies, not only make a lot of money at the box office, but also the income of peripheral products is higher than that of ordinary movies.
There's no way about this, Forrest Gump is such a bull 13, you just make a little money from video tape rentals. Nowadays, the number of DVDs is still very limited.
Don't think about other souvenirs, you will never be able to sell them if you fill them with falling feathers.
No, you Pixar can, but other people's dream factories can't.
Not for the time being, let alone such a three-dimensional animated blockbuster, it's Disney's two-dimensional, you can't make it for a while.
It has almost become a consensus that George Lucas sold at a loss. What movie special effects will Jobs know there, don't look at how well he is blowing now, this is all the knowledge that has been made up over the years, and the old Joe is better at industrial design than before.
An outsider who is not very familiar with the business is actually a miraculous success. Hollywood and Silicon Valley collectively fell into an inexplicable remorse.
However, they just think about it.
When you see someone else succeeding, you think it's very simple, and others are just lucky.
Hehe, if you keep thinking like this, I'm afraid you can only think about it.
After Jobs was swept away by Apple, his life was not very easy. Leaving the familiar industry, it is not easy to make a comeback. If he tosses it for a few more years, he may not be able to hold on.
As long as it is successful, there is nothing simple. It's so easy, why is it so difficult for Pixar to raise money? Jobs has always been very wary of White Capital's investment. A monopoly is the last thing he can accept, and if there are other people who are willing to invest, you think he is willing to choose William White.
