"I have work to do this morning. ”

In the suite, Ronan said to Candace Swanepole, who was putting on makeup: "I'll have people accompany you around, the boutique here is good, if you like it, just buy it." ”

Candace Swanepel nodded and said, "Ronan, you go and get busy, leave me alone." ”

Ronan pinched her tall nose, "Call me or Connie if there's something." ”

"I will. Candace Swanepel said.

Ronan went out and saw two female bodyguards waiting outside the door, and ordered, "Miss Swanepel must pay attention to her safety when she goes out." ”

The female bodyguard replied succinctly and forcefully: "Yes." ”

Connie said a few more words, accompanied Ronan downstairs, and hurried to the place he had agreed on yesterday.

The group of three vehicles left the city of Mumbai and arrived at a spiritual monastery.

The car stopped at the door, and Ronan looked at the various Buddhist markings and buildings, and didn't say much, just followed an Indian monk waiting at the door and walked inside.

Although not religious, Ronan is respectful of the politics, culture, and beliefs of others.

This is also the least common sense.

Coming to a simple-looking house, where John Lasseter was waiting, he hurried up to him and said, "Good morning, Ronan. ”

"Hello, John. Ronan nodded.

John Lasseter said: "Steve hasn't been in great shape lately. ”

Ronan somewhat understood Steve Jobs' condition and said, "Don't worry, it won't be long." ”

John Lasseter opened the door and Ronan walked in, immediately smelling a smell of incense, the air was clearly not very good.

Steve Jobs sits on a wooden-floored futon as an Indian master circles around him, muttering words in his mouth.

As for what was being said, Ronan didn't understand it at all.

"Please wait a moment. Steve Jobs whispered, "I'm going to end it right away." ”

Ronan glanced at his watch and said calmly, "I came ten minutes early." ”

The Indian master Gu Jing Bubo, as if he was beyond all things in the world.

After about two minutes, the Indian master stopped, Steve Jobs slowly stood up, and the two of them saluted with their hands together, and the master slowly floated out of the room.

Steve Jobs at this moment, as if the most devout believer.

Ronan couldn't read it, but he could guess that Steve Jobs was probably healing through devotional or meditation.

He didn't speak, and he wasn't stupid enough to open his mouth to speak.

This involves the issue of faith, and it is very troublesome to participate indiscriminately, let alone Steve Jobs, even if it is Tom Cruise, Ronan never interferes in related matters of faith.

As for the efficacy, it can only be said that Steve Jobs believes that there is a curative effect.

Ronan knew a little about Steve Jobs, although he had surgery on it, but he still didn't give up coming to India to find a solution to his condition.

If you are an ordinary pancreatic cancer patient, you would have gone to see God long ago after such a toss, then Steve Jobs has an ability to save her life in addition to devotional and meditation.

Money ability!

Perhaps, Steve Jobs himself may not have a clear understanding, but pancreatic cancer is known as the king of cancer, and there is no real solution through normal medical channels, even if he is a billionaire, he can only spend money to prolong his life.

And it won't drag on for long.

When people are desperate, they always have unrealistic fantasies.

Steve Jobs, although once mythologized, will also have something in common in this regard.

"Long time no see, Ronan. Steve Jobs invited Ronan to sit down.

Ronan sat down on the wooden chair and said, "We shouldn't have seen each other in two years." ”

Steve Jobs put on his disc glasses, and that believer-like piety disappeared in favor of the shrewdness of a businessman: "In just two years, you've changed so much." ”

Ronan smiled faintly and said, "Yes? I don't think I'm still Ronan Anderson." ”

"It's nothing but billionaire Ronan Anderson. Steve Jobs may be in poor health, and his voice has not been too loud: "If I'm not mistaken, the market value of Netflix is more than $55 billion, right? Next year, you will definitely be in the top 10 on the rich list." ”

Ronan was calm: "The wealth on the stock market is all on paper, it's nothing. ”

Steve Jobs's shrewdness and calculation are all shrewdness and calculation: "It's easy to translate into actual finances, why don't you transfer some of my shares in the Netflix network at market price now." ”

Ronan didn't answer, but said, "Steve, the stock price of Pixar Studios has been stable. ”

Steve Jobs also did not hide it: "Pixar's stock price will not have much room to rise, it is just a pure content manufacturer after all, you are a master of Hollywood operations, and you know better than me that the film industry is also the king of channels." ”

Ronan said: "Relativistic entertainment channels can make Pixar more valuable. ”

"Pixar's contract with Disney is expiring. Steve Jobs said unhurriedly: "I have a lot of options. ”

Ronan asked rhetorically, "Steve, are there really a lot of them? In addition to Disney, how many Hollywood companies have actually run animated films? Does Pixar want to continue to cooperate with Disney?"

Steve Jobs said: "The Pixar Studios cartoons, the rights are still with Disney, and I can't leave the Pixar kids out forever. ”

It didn't seem like much, but Ronan understood that it was Steve Jobs making the condition.

"The kids at Pixar Studios are definitely coming back, and no one is going to let 'Toy Story,' 'Monster Electric,' and 'Finding Nemo' go out of the way," Ronan said. ”

Steve Jobs asked, "Do you have a way?"

"I've thought about it a bit, but the specifics haven't been decided yet. Ronan said slowly: "If you want to get back the copyright, you need tacit cooperation between the two of us." This is a prerequisite. ”

Steve Jobs was so smart that he immediately understood that this was Ronan's condition, and Ronan wouldn't make a move unless Pixar Studios and Relativity Entertainment became a family.

John Lasseter has spoken to Robert Iger many times and there is no need to gloss over this between the two sides.

Ronan said, "Steve, we're in good hands. ”

Relativity Entertainment wants to acquire Pixar Studios, and after Pixar Studios is separated from Disney, it needs new global marketing channels.

Steve Jobs didn't know this, but as an unusually shrewd businessman, he had to fight for the most favorable terms for himself.

"I agree in principle. Steve Jobs is no longer going around in circles: "But there's a premise, Ronan, that you have to commit Relativity Entertainment to reclaim the rights to the animated feature film distributed by Disney for Pixar Studios." ”

Ronan said very seriously, "I promise." He still said: "These animated feature films can be serialized, the value has not been fully reflected, and I can't let them stay in the hands of Disney." ”

Steve Jobs has heard more than once that Ronan Anderson has excellent credibility in Hollywood circles.

A typical businessman like him would not trust another businessman's assurances.

Because he's been there.

But Steve Jobs believed in the greed of a businessman in the face of great benefits.

So, Steve Jobs nodded lightly: "Ronan, I'm sure you'll keep your promise." ”

Ronan said with a smile: "Stripping benefits from Disney is in line with the needs of both of us." ”

"What about the specific plans?" asked Steve Jobs.

How could Ronan say now: "When the time comes, Robert Iger will communicate directly with Pixar Studios." ”

Steve Jobs didn't dwell on this: "Yes, leave the specific progress to them." Ronan, let's just talk about the most important ones. ”

Ronan said, "Of course, Steve, Pixar Studios has always been up to you. ”

Even now, Pixar Studios has raised funds several times to expand its shares, Steve Jobs has sold shares to cash out, thereby increasing his stake in Apple, and so on.

The number one boss of Pixar Studios still holds nearly 51 percent of Pixar's shares.

Ronan was well aware that Steve Jobs was going to make an offer.

The specific price will be discussed by the people below, but the main framework will definitely be finalized by him and Jobs.

After a few minutes of deliberation, Steve Jobs said: "We traded in a share-for-equity transaction, where I traded for an equity stake in Pixar Studios for a stake in the Netflix network of the same value as Relativity Entertainment, at a price based on the market price on the date the deal was reached. ”

Pixar Studios is now worth more than $5 billion, and if the transaction goes according to the current situation, Relativity Entertainment could pay about 10 percent of the Netflix network equity.

Today's Netflix network has just started, various businesses are developing smoothly, and the stock price is in a period of rapid climbing.

Ronan knows this, and so does business elites like Steve Jobs.

On the other hand, Pixar Studio, which has no distribution channels, has a very stable stock price in recent years, and it is difficult to have a large upside, and Hollywood's industrial system is not a secret, but anyone who knows a little knows that Pixar Studio is in the downstream of the industrial chain.

"Yes. Ronan replied: "But I also have a condition, which is very simple and not complicated. ”

Steve Jobs said, "Please speak. ”

Ronan whispered, "You are the CEO of Apple, and I am a shareholder of Apple. Then we will have a new identity, I am the chairman of Netflix Network, and you are the majority shareholder of Netflix......"

Steve Jobs looked at Ronan with a premonition.

Ronan said directly: "Apple is developing smartphones. Steve, you're pushing within Apple that Apple's smartphones and other handheld terminals use Netflix's Android operating system. ”
