"Steve Jobs, Steve Jobs, that guy who was kicked out of his company, are you sure that's the guy you're talking about?"

George Lucas was completely shocked by Mo Fei's proposal, Phoenix Culture is also a film company, and after owning this studio, he will definitely try to make the studio better, this Lucas believes it, but the manager he wants to find is Jobs, which is not very reassuring.

I don't know how Jobs got this studio from Lucas in his previous life, but one thing is certain, Jobs is definitely the best person to lead this studio.

Looking at Lucas's swaying head, Mo Fei deeply felt that the difference between the times was really difficult to make up for no matter what, so he had to be patient to explain this matter clearly: "Mr. Lucas, you are one of the best film directors, and "Star Wars" is also one of the best movies, so can you tell me, why is this all why, why you and "Star Wars" can be so successful?" ”

"Because I thought of things that others couldn't think of, and I did things that others didn't dare to do, I got what I deserved." Lucas is still very confident and proud of this.

Mo Fei nodded: "That's right, you're right, that's the real reason why I asked him to manage the studio, Jobs is an imaginative person, a guy who dares to put his brain outside of his body to think, so I'm sure he will definitely bring unprecedented progress and success to the studio, and of course I will invest more money to maintain the normal operation in the early stage." ”

But he did fail at Apple Computer. This also proves that his management skills are indeed not very good. Lucas has his own point.

"But I don't think he failed," he was sure that Jobs had only failed once. It's the NEXT computer company he is running now, but it's not a complete failure, the rest of the time Jobs is almost a complete success.

He took a sip of coffee on the table and said, "Jobs' departure from Apple Computer is only the result of internal struggles, and when everyone disagrees, someone must give up their attachment." Unfortunately, he was chosen this time. However, Plato said that the truth may be on the side of the few. I agree with this statement, I think Jobs should be right, and Apple Computer may have a short-lived success after Jobs in the city. But it will not reach the real peak. And in the future, only Steve Jobs can rule and save Apple.

Well, I said this might be a bit far away, let's just say now. Steve Jobs was a man of great imagination, and he was able to bring a lot of new things with his thoughts, and that's what we need most to make movies. Especially in the combination of movies and computers, strange ideas will always collide with brilliant sparks; If it weren't for some strange ideas, I'm afraid there would be no movies in this world. ”

"I think you're starting to impress me," Lucas pouted. Then he asked, "Is what you said really true, I mean Apple will have problems in the future." Only Jobs can save it? ”

Mo Fei didn't understand why Lucas asked, and wondered: "Why, you won't buy Apple shares, if that's the case, then I advise you not to sell, otherwise you will regret it in the future, if you have to sell, then sell it to me." ”

"No, no, no, I'm not going to do that." Lucas's head shook like a rattle: "I didn't invest in Apple stock, I was just thinking, if it's really like you said, Jobs will leave one day, what will happen to the studio?" ”

Mo Fei really didn't want to say more, he was afraid that saying too much would make the bearded man on the other side throw away the idea of the studio, but Lucas asked like this, and he couldn't help but give an answer, "Hehe, you don't need to worry about it, I just said that Jobs is suitable for managing the studio, but I didn't say that he is the only candidate, if he leaves within five years, I will personally manage the studio, I can be sure that no one will be more suitable than me, but at the moment I don't have much energy to put into it, That's why I chose Jobs, and he was just a good fit. ”

Lucas actually just wants to see if Mo Fei has confidence in this studio and whether he has the determination to run it for a long time, no matter what, he is his own child, even if he goes out, I hope he can live a little better, right?

"Well, I guess you can be the master of this piece, but you're going to have Jobs manage it, as you said. But I've heard that Steve Jobs guy isn't very talkative, and he should be running a new company of his own, can you guarantee you'll be able to hire him? Lucas put forward the last condition, which of course does not have to be fulfilled, and the main thing is to see Mo Fei's determination.

Isn't it almost completely speechless, isn't it just a broken studio, if it weren't for the talent there, the ghost would be willing to buy your studio, at best, it's just a few million transactions, as if it was a lot of grandeur.

However, for the sake of those talents, this condition can only be accepted, fortunately, he has a great certainty that he can win Jobs, otherwise it is really difficult to say.

But all geniuses will be a little weird, or a little weird, to deal with strange people, naturally use strange methods, and then we have to watch Mo Fei's performance.

Steve Jobs is a wonder, and his wonder, like other geniuses, is manifested in the difference in thinking. After studying at the university for a while, he suddenly felt that he had not learned anything by doing so, but had wasted a lot of money, so he dropped out.

It's like Jordan Belfort, the protagonist of "The Wolf of Wall Street", is also the same weird, when he went to the dental school to sign up, he heard the dean say to the student "The golden age of dentists is over, if you came here to make a lot of money, then you may have come to the wrong place", and the first reaction at that time was "He said I came to the wrong place", so this classmate was even more fierce and dropped out on the first day.

Of course, Jobs had something more unique about him. He can drop out of school and stay in one of the most expensive schools in the United States to audit some of his favorite classes, and he has the right to live in the school's dormitory. It's simply the best of the best. For this kind of strangeness, there is always a more bizarre way to persuade and impress them, which is the supreme benefit of the traverser.

But after meeting Jobs, the first thing this guy said almost drove Mo Fei crazy: "Go manage a computer animation studio, I have a new business now, you have to give me a reason to convince myself." ”

Reason. Nima is the reason, the Americans are really fucking troublesome, why do they want so many reasons. No wonder their officials and even presidents are particularly fond of finding reasons, this is the nature of American society, which is forced out by Nima.

Well, Lao Tzu will give you a reason first: "That's the case." Steve. I guess I could call you that. I know you have a lot of confidence in this NEXT, but I have to give you a little bit of good luck, this company is not enough for you to achieve your dreams, if you want to get your children back, you have to be more successful. And I can bring you everything you want and put you back in the position of chairman of Apple. ”

Jobs looked at the Chinese man across from him with puzzled and inquiring eyes, and he really wanted to go back to Apple. But this matter was not mentioned to anyone, how did he know? And why is he so sure?

"If you don't understand, let me tell you." Mo Fei immediately started the routine that had been prepared for a long time, and said: "The company you are running now does seem to have a bright future, but I can tell you for sure that the future will not be so bright, at least not in the short term, you must be prepared for this market atmosphere, and pay more time and money, otherwise this company will not have any effect." You should know better than I know what the situation is at the moment, but it doesn't seem to me to be very rosy. ”

Of course, the situation is not optimistic, if everything really goes well, Jobs will not buy Lucas's studio, and then spend time and energy doing another set of business, isn't it because this side does not work, this thing is a flea on the bald head, a clear thing.

Jobs is still very confident in his new business, but it is still in the research and development stage, and there are several small problems that may lead to slow progress, and in the end, it is likely that he will have to find venture capital to help, but how can these be seen by an outsider.

Mo Fei didn't care what Jobs thought, his expression had betrayed him, at this time, Joe's gang leader was far less thoughtful than twenty years later, and asked Jobs: "I know you have doubts, and I can explain it to you, but before you can answer me a question, why are people more powerful than other animals, why do humans rule the earth, not cockroaches or lizards or something?" ”

"Because human beings have thoughts......" can become a wonderful existence, Qiao's IQ is really not covered, just halfway through it, I immediately understood what Mo Fei meant: "You mean, we shouldn't put more energy on creating people, but to create things that guide and control human behavior, and use thoughts to manage the body, and computers must be through software to reflect their value, just like human beings are great because they have thoughts......"

Jobs unknowingly, he had already used the word "we", but he knew that his method still worked, nodded and said: "That's right, Steve, you are a very thoughtful person, so why not turn your various ideas into the goals of other people's efforts." I know that you have a culinary sensitivity and understanding of text and image processing, so use your NEXT to make the best image processing computer, the best processing software, and then prove to everyone what a huge loss Apple has lost you.

At this point, this computer special effects studio means more to you, and if you think about it, what is the most demanding image processing in this world. Some people may say that it is the NASA air station, but it is all far away from people's lives, and movies are different, movies are the closest to people's lives, when you personally lead a team, use your wisdom and technology, create the most advanced and cutting-edge software, and produce several animated movies that are popular all over the world, then everyone will understand that you are the best one, and I believe that at that time, those fools at the beginning will come to ask you to lead them out of the trough.

When you went to PepsiCo to ask John Sculley to be Apple's CEO, you asked him, 'Do you want to sell sugar water for the rest of your life, or do you want to change the whole world?' Since you just said 'we', then I'm going to give you a little more hope, as long as NEXT is up and running, I can inject money into this company in the future, and make sure that your plan can go smoothly, and that premise is that you help me manage that studio. Believe me, maybe in ten years, you'll be back at Apple and sitting in the chair that once belonged to you. (At that time, NEXT was taken to court for running the same business as Apple.)

To be honest, Mo Fei, as a person who has come over, is a little stunned by his own rhetoric, and the Qiao gang leader is naturally not much better, and the last bit of reason left makes him ask the last question: "I admit what you said, this has brought me a lot of inspiration and touch, and you are willing to inject capital into NEXT, which is also what I need in the future." However, it is not so easy to get back to Apple, and the position of chairman is even more difficult, how can you do all this? It's not that I'm rejecting you, to be honest I've been moved by what you say, but I hope you can give me more confidence. ”

Just say it's good, then just smash a heavyweight reassuring pill to him, and Joe Gang Leader didn't run, "Let me say this, I don't know if you have seen my company's movies, but one thing I can be sure of is that I know the film market well, I am very clear about the development trend of movies in the future, the use of computer stunts will be more and more important in the proportion of the battle road, the most cutting-edge computer application technology, movies will occupy a large part, and the processing of images and influences will become an important direction and field of computer technology development, If you want to succeed in this industry, you can't go wrong with taking this path.

In the future, I will invest a lot of money in the development of the combination of computer and film technology, and the derived technologies and products can not only be used in film production, but may also have an impact and progress on image processing, medical imaging technology, information storage technology, and many other aspects, all of which will become the cornerstone of your way forward.

Of course, the most important point is that the most difficult thing you said is that as long as the time is right, I can find enough shareholders to support you, and I am one of the shareholders of Apple, I believe it is not very difficult to get you back to being the chairman again. Plus you can get 10 percent of the management shares in this studio, and trust me, it's definitely not a small number, it's enough to make a person a billionaire. ”

Fame, fortune, ideals, and the future, all of which are there, are you still worthy of your conscience if you don't agree? (To be continued......)
