Chapter 1166: Win-win cooperation

"Don't get too happy just yet. Yin Jun smiled and shook his hand, "But I watched it today, and I think your technique still has a lot to improve." ”

As soon as Yin Jun said this, Clark's heart immediately fell from the clouds.

"You mean ......" Clark frustrated.

"Your current special effects technology is based on the geometry generator, and its most important function is to speed up, reduce the time for the central processor to process a large amount of graphics data, so that the response is faster, and the simulation of dynamic graphics is accelerated, right?"

Clark nodded, "Yes." ”

Yin Jun said again: "Your is just a hardware acceleration, what if we deal with it towards the central server itself? Through technical means, the specified number and addressing methods are streamlined, so as to further increase the efficiency of the central server...... This kind of effect can be accomplished by technical means, right?"

Clark's face recovered a little, and he said, "You're right, I didn't expect you to have research in this area." In fact, that's where we're going next. ”

"It's also something that everybody is ready to work on. Yin Jun said solemnly, "There are so many companies in Silicon Valley, so many companies in the world, so many engineers and programmers, can you be sure that you can go ahead of them?" Yin Jun drank his coffee and said, "There is only one patent and technology for geometry generators, which is far from enough for special effects." At least the special effects results I want to see, it's definitely not enough. ”

Clark sighed.

That's what worries him, too.

He is not the only smart person in the world.

"In fact, in addition to reduced instructions, there are also balanced multiprocessing technology, digital media technology, and cluster server technology...... If you don't try to keep up, then you will be ahead now, and you will be behind the times in a few years. Yin Jun said with a straight face.

"Who's to say it's not? But our company is small, and my ability is very limited, so I can't do so many things. "Clark is now convinced by Yin Jun, people not only know special effects, but the key is that they have also studied the technical aspects, such a person is really the one who does things, and it is the one who makes people believe that he really wants to develop special effects.

The current Clark is still not out of the category of technicians, he thinks very simply.

What he thought Yin Jun knew, it must have been investigated.

In other words, there are already many companies in the industry that have begun to pay attention to this special effect aspect and are beginning to study it.

He felt that Yin Jun was now in this process of collecting technology and patents, and he was ready to synthesize it to make a big one.

That's why I came to his small company, ready to see what good technology there was to work with.

Unexpectedly, I disappointed my family.

He was still a little guilty at this time, feeling that Yin Jun came to the door with great interest, but he did not provide good technology, which really disappointed Yin Jun's earnest intentions.

"It's right that the company is small, but in terms of ability, you are not bad James. Yin Jun put down the coffee cup, "James, you and Stan Winston have known each other for several years, right?"

"Yes, we met at a special effects workshop, I hadn't invented the geometry generator and he wasn't as famous as he is today. James Clark replied, remembering what had happened before, and there was a hint of an aftertaste on the corner of his mouth.

It's just that today, Stan Winston is completely a person of two worlds compared to him.

Stan Winston and the digital realm have made a name for themselves with two super-hit special effects hits, "Life and Death" and "The Terminator", especially the stunning T800 in "The Terminator".

The digital realm has become Hollywood's second-largest special effects company after ILM, and Stan Winston is also known as a rare special effects master in decades.

Even in the eyes of industry insiders, the digital field has more potential than industrial light and magic.

Because the largest shareholder in the digital field is Yin Jun, the entertainment tycoon who controls Disney and United Arts Films, he can provide countless movies for the digital field to produce, and Yin Jun also has enough money to make the digital field do its best to do special effects and develop technology.

Think about it, Clark is really envious of this old friend of his, to meet Yin Jun's boss who trusts him so much and is so willing to burn money for the special effects company.

Engaging in special effects has always cost a lot of money, and the cycle is very long.

You can't stop yet, and once you stop, all the hard work you've put forward is in vain.

Even if you're successful, you'll have to constantly develop new techniques and improve your special effects.

Clark didn't know that most of the special effects companies in later generations died on these difficulties.

Including the digital realm, this is how it declined.

In the end, the only one that can stand is Industrial Light and Magic.

Industrial Light & Magic is also fortunate to have a good father, Disney, who has sufficient financial resources and orders for them to work, which can continue to sustain and develop.

This is a bit like the current digital field, but Yin Jun's current strength is not as powerful as Disney's father, and he is a giant who even bought the heyday of Twentieth Century Fox in one go!

Of course, Yin Jun can't just rely on his own money to support the special effects company, otherwise even if the digital field has no worries about food and clothing for decades, once Yin Jun's descendants no longer pay attention to this business, then it is very likely to collapse.

He had to find a suitable way for his special effects company to support himself with technology.

There was no way to do it with Stan Winston's digital realm, so Yin Jun hit James Clark's silicon map company with the idea.

Think about it, in 2015, the turnover of the company was 4 billion US dollars, and in 2020, it will be as high as 5 billion US dollars, and it can earn hundreds of millions of dollars every year to continue development.

Of course, the digital field also has to accept orders from outside, but if they have the support of Silicon Map Company in the back, provide technology and personnel, and can provide financial support, then of course life will be much better, and it will not be because the burden is too heavy, after Stan Winston's death, the string will suddenly collapse, and then it will be over.

Speaking of Stan Winston's untimely death, Yin Jun also had a plan for a long time.

When Li Zhen was in Los Angeles, he also went to digital companies from time to time to recuperate for Stan Winston.

He didn't use any complicated medicines, just some very simple herbs to make potions, and after giving Stan Winston to drink for half a month, now it was Stan Winston's turn to call Li Zhen often to ask for warmth, and he would consult Li Zhen if there was any situation.

The real master of Chinese medicine is so able to turn decay into magic, and will only concoct the most suitable treatment and recuperation method for each person.

If Li Zhen and the three of them weren't so powerful, how could Yin Jun spend so much money and arrange for their children to go abroad or come to Hong Kong?

You get what you pay for.

If you want the best, then you have to be prepared to pay the maximum price.

Including success is also the same.

If you want to succeed, you can only make continuous efforts yourself, and how hard you work, then how successful you will be.

If you don't work hard, you won't succeed.

Thoughts turn.

Yin Jun looked at Clarke, and suddenly said, "James, then do you want to embrace the future like him?"

"Huh?" Clark was surprised, and he vaguely thought of what Yin Jun wanted to say.

"I'm very optimistic about today's workbench. It's simple, it's not as good as it could be in many ways, but your ideas are good, and your team has a very good entrepreneurial spirit. Yin Jun said, "So I value your team more and want to cooperate with you." ”

"Cooperation?" Clark frowned, "You mean cooperation, is it an acquisition?"

"There are many kinds of collaborations. Yin Jun nodded, "The cooperation I am talking about is the cooperation model between me and Stan Winston. I will use 10 million US dollars to acquire 80% of the shares of Silicon Map Company, 10% of the shares will be given to you, and 10% of the shares will be reserved for the company's technical talents. And I'm going to inject $10 million a year into you for five years, just like I do for the digital field, for you to develop new technologies. But it won't dilute your shares. And you have full control over the company's affairs, and I will not interfere in the day-to-day operations. ”

The cooperation model between Yin Jun and Stan Winston is known throughout Silicon Valley, and many people feel that Yin Jun is very kind, especially the research and development funds in the back, which is equivalent to giving money to the digital field for nothing, but it also prompts them to seriously study and develop new technologies, which is a real win-win cooperation.

However, except for Yin Jun, few people still use this model.

You are not stupid, you buy the company and buy it, why do you want to give it for nothing?

So this makes it even more handsome and kind.

Now he also gave Clark such an acquisition method, which of course made Clark's heart skip a beat.

This is equivalent to spending 60 million to buy 80% of the shares, close to the valuation of 80 million US dollars, how generous is the condition for a company with a total of less than 3 million US dollars?

Of course, Clark also understands that the price of $60 million is that the patents he owns for the geometry generator, as well as the patents developed in the future, are owned by the company, not by him.

But that's already good!

Not only can I sell the technology at a good price, but I can also sit on the management of such a promising special effects company, although it is only 10% of the shares, but the whole is much stronger than my own small company.

And Yin Jun said that he would not interfere in daily operations, in fact, everything in the silicon map company is still his own decision.

Clark wouldn't necessarily believe what other people said, but if Yin Jun said it, he would be willing to believe it.

Because Stan Winston has been in full swing in the past few years, without Yin Jun's interference?

Yin Jun: What is this identity?

Could it be that if you talk to Stan Winston, you can't talk to him Clarke?

No, I can't!

Clark's heart was spinning rapidly, and Yin Jun was not idle.

The silicon map company has not developed so smoothly.

They also had a lot of difficulties and dangers, and even had the danger of bankruptcy, and finally found the right direction and became the largest special effects technology workbench provider.

After buying the current silicon map company, Yin Jun has to give them the strength of the company to continuously enrich the company, and buy those companies that should have joined the silicon map, which is the most correct.

Thanks to the fact that the 80s was an era of great mergers in the United States, various industries were constantly merging, and everyone did not exclude holding together for warmth.
