Text Chapter 700 Acquisition of Pixar Animation
Tianchen Fund has bagged Dream Times Technology, which is in the limelight, which really makes many people eat a "whale". ? U8?small?? Say??? .?U?8?XS`COM
Yes, Dream Times Technology is a "water force" with a false name, but it can't stand the shares that he just acquired in his hands of the famous Microsoft. As a result, Tianchen Fund suddenly pushed its own shares of Microsoft from the original 18% to 24%, and built its position as the "second master" of Microsoft more firmly.
Not only that, with the first public declaration of Tianchen Fund that it is very optimistic about Microsoft's future development, the enthusiasm of the securities investment market for Microsoft has risen instantly, pushing up Microsoft's stock price like a rocket. All of a sudden. Not only has Tianchen Fund's investment in Microsoft made a large profit, but it has also greatly increased the net worth of Microsoft shareholders such as Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer - but everyone is happy.
There is no doubt that the strong move of Tianchen Fund has made many people start to look forward to the future of Microsoft, after all, Tianchen Fund is a "golden signboard" in the investment world. However, I believe that many people would not think that Microsoft would be so awesome in the future, so awesome that many people are a little skeptical about life - of course, it has also completely confirmed the position of the "first brother" in the investment community of Tianchen Fund.
To be honest, don't look at Su Chenyu's current Microsoft shares, but this does not prevent him from continuing to acquire Microsoft's shares, but it seems to be a little difficult to raise funds now. However, it doesn't matter, Su Chenyu has already dug a pit for Microsoft in front, just waiting for the time to buy the bottom and absorb the chips.
Just when Su Chenyu wanted to continue to "rub some oil" on Microsoft, Steve Jobs, the "god" who was far away in Silicon Valley, gave him a great news - it seems that there is a door to acquire Pixar.
Yes, it's Pixar, Su Chenyu is finally going to do it to Pixar Animation Studio.
In other words, although MGM currently has Blue Sky Studio, Su Chenyu has always been obsessed with Pixar Animation Studio. 8??? .?U8XS`COM
There's no way, it's really that Pixar Animation Studio's status in the world's computer animation film industry is too high, so high that Blue Sky Studio, DreamWorks Animation, etc. behind it can only look up. Even, Pixar Animation Studio has almost become a must-buy "piece of equipment" for all reborns, after all, from $10 million to $74, this is a great deal - so, if Su Chenyu doesn't think about trying to win Pixar, it will be a ghost.
What's more, in line with the principle of "dead friends don't die poor", Pixar has to eat it anyway - because this guy is now cooperating with Disney, and later directly became a subsidiary of Disney. In this case, there is no superfluous nonsense, just grab it, as long as it can hit Disney, even if it is not good for yourself, you must do it. Besides, the acquisition of Pixar Animation Studios is of great benefit to Su Chenyu and MGM, so no matter what, it must be done.
Therefore, the last time he acquired Next Computer, Su Chenyu mentioned this matter earnestly to Steve Jobs, and repeatedly said that as long as Jobs was willing to sell Pixar, the price would be easy to say.
Originally, Su Chenyu didn't have much hope for this, after all, the trajectory of his previous life also told him that Pixar Animation Studio was not acquired by Disney for $7.4 billion until 2006.
However, who would have thought that after getting Microsoft here, Jobs actually gave himself a big surprise!
Therefore, without any hesitation, Su Chenyu flew directly from Redmond to Redwood City to urgently meet Steve Jobs again.
This time, Su Chenyu's meeting with Steve Jobs will be much more casual, after all, the two are now partners, and they are also close comrades-in-arms - in the future, Jobs will still wait for Su Chenyu to push him to the top of Apple. ? U8?? Small? Say? 8XS`COM
As soon as the two met, their buttocks were not yet hot, and Su Chenyu said directly to the point: "Steve, make a price for Pixar, as long as it's not particularly outrageous, I can accept it." ”
Well, as soon as he heard Su Chenyu's words, Steve Jobs smiled slightly, Su Chenyu's state didn't look like he was negotiating to buy something at all, but like he was smashing people with money. You must know that in the face of such buyers, the average seller is estimated to be able to wake up with a smile, after all, the more eager the other party is, the better it will be to raise the price.
However, Steve Jobs is not an ordinary person after all, so he said with a smile: "Sue, don't be so anxious, in fact, on the phone, I didn't make it clear that I don't plan to sell Pixar." ”
Walt?
Su Chenyu's face cooled down in an instant, and he couldn't hide his disappointment and anger and said, "Steve, are you kidding me?"
Shaking his finger, Steve Jobs smiled and said, "I really don't plan to sell Pixar, or rather, I don't plan to sell all of my Pixar shares." ”
"However, I can sell you some or most of my Pixar shares. ”
After hearing this, Su Chenyu's face softened again, as if he suddenly switched from the icy and snowy sky to the singing of birds and flowers, and then this guy smiled shamelessly and said, "That's okay, how many shares are you going to sell?"
Looking at Su Chenyu, who had changed his face, Steve Jobs smiled slightly and said, "How many shares do you want?"
This time, Su Chenyu didn't joke, but said seriously: "Then you don't need to ask, naturally the more the better, but you also know that I am the big boss behind MGM, so I want to get a 51% controlling stake." ”
After listening to Su Chenyu's words, Steve Jobs' face changed, and he said, "Do you want MGM to buy Pixar? Doesn't MGM have Blue Sky Studios in its hands? Or do you want to merge the two?"
As soon as he saw Steve Jobs like this, Su Chenyu knew what he was worried about, so he smiled and said: "I know what you're worried about? Don't worry, Steve, although Pixar is included in the MGM Group, it will retain the greatest autonomy, and the two will be more like partners than parent companies and subsidiaries." ”
After listening to Su Chenyu's explanation, Steve Jobs finally put his mind at ease, and then said: "I can agree to sell you 51% of Pixar's shares, but I also have one condition." ”
, Su Chenyu didn't expect Steve Jobs to play such a game with him, so he said with a smile: "Say, what conditions?"
"It's very simple, I want you to use the name of Tianchen Fund to buy Pixar, this should be fine, right?"
This is naturally not a problem, so Su Chenyu nodded very simply, and then said, "No problem, this is all a small matter." ”
"In addition, I hope that Tianchen Fund can operate Pixar and be listed on the NASDAQ next year!"
Well, when Steve Jobs put forward all these two conditions, Su Chenyu knew that this product was a good calculation.
However, these two things were not a big deal for Su Chenyu, so he nodded with a smile and said, "No problem, absolutely no problem." ”
Hearing that Su Chenyu agreed to these two things, Steve Jobs' face also soothed a lot, and continued: "Since these two conditions are okay, then let's talk about your valuation of Pixar, right?"
Without answering Steve Jobs' question, Su Chenyu stared at him and said seriously, "How much are you going to price Pixar?"
Nodding, Steve Jobs said unceremoniously: "Pixar shouldn't be worse than Next Computer, right? So, I think Pixar worth $500 million should be fine, right?"
Hehe, I have to say, Steve Jobs really dares to make a bid, this is a lion's mouth. You know, in 2006, Pixar, which was already in the sky, was worth $7.4 billion, and there was inflation in it, and at this time, Pixar didn't have any works - $500 million, which is super sky-high.
However, who made Su Chenyu rich, and he was cheap, even if he knew that Steve Jobs was hacking him with the lion's mouth, he still didn't have any dissatisfaction and agreed.
"The price is definitely sky-high, but I still agree. Although Su Chenyu was willing to suffer this loss, he couldn't pretend to be dumb, so he smiled, then his face turned grim, and he said: "250 million US dollars, I want 51% of the shares." I'm going to have Pixar go public next year, but I want a right of first refusal for you and Pixar management. ”
To be honest, Steve Jobs really didn't expect Su Chenyu to agree to this price, this price was indeed his sky-high asking price, and he thought that Su Chenyu would pay back the money on the ground. Who would have thought that this Su tyrant would directly agree, which really stunned Jobs, who had gone through a lot of big worlds.
There is no doubt that Steve Jobs also clearly knew that Pixar was not worth the price at all, so he asked you why Pixar, which has no works, is worth more than Next Computer?
So, Steve Jobs was afraid that Su Chenyu would regret it, so he quickly replied with a smile: "No problem." ”
"Well, we can sign an agreement at any time, and the Tianchen Foundation will come forward instead of MGM. ”
"Okay!"
"Happy cooperation!"
After finally getting Pixar, Su Chenyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, although now it seems that his acquisition was slaughtered, and he also pretended to be slaughtered, but in fact it was not like that at all.
Hehe, after Pixar's first work "Toy Story" is released next year, it will win the North American box office championship of $192 million, plus the addition of the golden sign of Tianchen Fund. Not bragging, Su Chenyu dared to speculate Pixar's market value to more than $1 billion, and by that time, his seemingly loss-making transaction today would easily be profitable.
The most important thing is that then he will have a better chance of eating Pixar completely......
