Chapter 175: A Conversation with Grandpa

Today, Jobs owns 70 percent of Pixar Animation Studios, and the rest is in the hands of 40 founders, including the receptionist at the time.

If this is the case, it will cost at least another $40 million to buy the 30 percent of their shares, and some people may not be willing to sell.

From '86 to the present, most of the equity has gone to the two founders, Ed Catmoor and Alvi Ray Smith, who together have about 17 percent ......"

Han Xuan tilted his head and clamped his mobile phone, got dressed and went downstairs while listening to his grandfather, and the housekeeper saw him hurriedly running to the kitchen and quickly brought breakfast.

Several bodyguards huddled on the couch watching TV, and since they had met the boy, there had been no danger, and now they were much more relaxed.

"What is Jobs's attitude towards Pixar, you should be able to feel it when you talk to him, right? The secret acquisition of Pixar without telling other people the details of the money may save a lot, but I don't recommend it, they are more important than Pixar image computers. ”

Han Xuan took a sip of warm milk to moisten his throat, and said with a dry cough.

Recently, my grandfather and grandfather like to discuss with me, probably to exercise their judgment skills, knowing that my grandfather has become interested in Pixar Animation Studios, and it is a lot easier at the moment.

Picked up the sandwich and took a bite, his voice slurred: "If not, give me Mr. Jobs' number, I think there is something he will be very interested in." ”

"What do you want his number for, what?"

Guo Muzhou asked one after another, Jobs was in the same era as him, and the grievances back then were boiling, and after thinking about it, he answered uncertainly: "Apple?"

"I said you don't have an idea about Apple, don't you have any ideas about Apple, why don't you buy it? I know that your grandfather has invested money in you, and he will definitely lose it.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Apple is no longer good. In a few more years, the old industry will definitely be crushed by Microsoft and Intel integrated circuit companies.

Morgan Stanley's investment experts were quite optimistic about these two companies and advised me to buy them more than once. Looking at President Clinton's current posture and being re-elected next year, he is optimistic about the Internet industry, and I think you can buy some shares in these two companies and hold them for a long time. ”

Guo Muzhou knew his grandson very well, and hurriedly wanted to dispel his thoughts.

"I didn't say I was interested in Apple. ”

Han Xuan rolled his eyes and denied. Take a piece of paper and wipe your mouth: "I just think that Mr. Jobs started in the IT industry and was kicked out by the company he founded, he must not be reconciled, these two years are a good opportunity to intervene again, and I can't go back empty-handed."

At that time, he bought Pixar Animation Studio, which was nothing more than valuing its computer graphics technology, and now it has been almost digested, and it is useless to keep it in his hands, and selling Pixar can just provide him with a sum of money. ”

"I guess that's what he thinks too. That NeXT software company is not worth much, and now there is only one Pixar left to use as a hole card, so he took me as a big boss and decided to make a lot of money on me, and it is rumored in the industry that he has been in contact with Disney before, but Disney has not taken a fancy to it. ”

Han Xuan could feel his grandfather's helplessness through the earpiece, and he changed the other side with his hand holding acid, and the signal in the room was not very good. Walked over to the couch and patted Gabriel on the shoulder, pointing to the door to signal out.

"Talk to him again." It's best if the price can be repaid, but if it doesn't work, he will slaughter it once, and I don't know who will make it in the future.

I heard that Microsoft is working on a new operating system, and if you have spare money, you can buy some shares in Microsoft, but the money my grandfather lent me is already useful, and now I can't pull it out. ”

"I don't know much about it. I'll talk about it when I get to the bottom of it. The boy's grandfather replied, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Che, I'm going to buy a car manufacturing company. ”

“…… Look at how many cars there are on the road, the market is dominated by several major European and American automakers, and I don't even dare to say that I dare to meddle in the traditional industries of oil, weapons, automobiles, and finance. You're so bold. ”

As if shocked by Han Xuan's words, the voice continued to come out of the phone after a quiet while.

Today, despite the size of the U.S. economy, the long-term growth of the U.S. economy is still determined by only the three traditional pillars of real estate, steel and automobile.

Financial experts have always regarded these three industries as the vane of the market, and after the economic crisis in history, once the three major industries recover, other industries, including the financial industry, will also recover, and you can imagine how important the automotive industry is.

In other European countries, such as Germany, the Volkswagen Group accounted for nearly 20 percent of Germany's total exports last year, and a single automaker can even drive the economic growth of the entire country, and influence the entire national economy.

So far, the United States has produced three important automobile groups, namely General Motors, Ford and Chrysler, which control more than half of the automobile market share in the entire United States, and almost all the well-known car brands are under their umbrella.

Now hearing from the mouth of an eleven-year-old that he wants to make a car, especially his grandson, Guo Muzhou can't sit still: "Don't be hot, the upfront investment in manufacturing cars alone will cost hundreds of millions of dollars, not counting the construction of sales channels in the future, how much does your company have now?"

Han Xuan walked on the sidewalk planted with plane trees, the leaves were green in summer, he had never heard his grandfather speak in such a harsh tone before, and hurriedly explained: "The market share of the first and second worlds is controlled by them, but I think a new market is about to appear."

On the four continents of Asia, Africa, Latin America and Oceania, there are a number of developing countries that are on the rise, and which have previously had little money in their hands and have a small market share, and which are ignored by established automakers.

It wasn't until the past few years that we began to pay attention to the fact that we were not much ahead in terms of layout, and even if we only occupied a small part of the market, the profits we could make were amazing enough. ”

Guo Muzhou feels that he needs to use his brain more today than in the past week, and the media has been preaching all day long about how difficult the lives of people in other countries are, and only reporting worries but not good news.

But he has been to a lot of places in the past few years, and he can clearly feel that other countries have indeed changed a lot, especially in recent years, the manufacturing industry of developed countries has shifted to labor-intensive areas, and it can be expected that third world countries will develop in the future.

His tone softened suddenly, thinking that he didn't know whether it was right or wrong to push Han Xuan to the front of the stage so early, and he couldn't worry about anything he did, so he said: "What about the money invested in the automobile industry? ”

"Then it's really backward, I don't have any money, don't you have it, even if I borrow it, the interest is the same as Morgan. (To be continued.) )
