"Andy, thank you, if it weren't for your reminder, I still wouldn't have found out that I was so sick. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "In the small villa where "Ghost Shadow" was filmed, Jobs personally came to visit.

"Already checked?" Liu Anran frowned and asked.

That day was nothing more than a casual remark, because he knew that Jobs would later die of cancer. But now listening to Jobs's meaning, it seems that even if he gave a reminder in advance, his condition is not very good.

"Now it's spreading, and the doctor said that if you can infer from the size of the tumor, I had cancer when I was young. But it's nothing, I'll cherish the time I have left, active treatment, and a lot of things to do. Jobs said with a smile.

"Are you thinking about when you're going to have surgery?" Liu Anran asked.

"I'll have to wait a little longer, my physical condition is a little poor now, and there is no news of my condition at this time." Jobs shook his head and said.

Apple's situation has just improved, and if it is rumored that it has cancer, it is estimated that the company's stock price will have to plunge sharply, and it may have to hit a new low.

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to congratulate you, the film you invested in won the box office championship of the weekend again, and also set a new record, I'm afraid Paramount has a headache now." Jobs continued.

"Actually, I didn't really worry much about the premiere, the only thing I was worried about was the overall release of the week. Today is Monday, and by Friday, "Fast and Furious" and "Tomb Raider" will be released at the same time, and I don't know how many fewer shows the theater will give me. Liu Anran said with a smile.

"Andy, it's not like I don't know what's going on here. Now that "Ghost Record 2" is being hyped up, it has surpassed the one you filmed in terms of word-of-mouth, do you think the theater chain will give up? Jobs shook his head and said helplessly, and after speaking, he took out a document from his bag and handed it to Liu Anran.

"Let's sign this one, about the cooperation file of the player. You are given 2% of Apple's shares, but it will not be on the board. ”

Liu Anran handed the document to Owen, although Jobs thanked him, but business is business, especially such a document, which must be read by the lawyer.

"Well, what about our other collaboration, about your Pixar animation studio." Liu Anran asked with a smile.

"Andy, you can cooperate, but you need a lot of funds, and I don't think you can support it with your current economic strength." Jobs looked at Liu Anran and said.

"I own 50.1% of the shares in this animation studio, and even if we work together in the future, I plan to do it in a cash plus share exchange. Although your Dream Media looks very good now, it is even worse than my animation studio. ”

"Maybe in the future, after your company goes public, we will be able to cooperate further. Before that, we can consider co-making some films. ”

He thanked Liu Anran for his reminding that he would agree to cooperate by transferring Apple's shares, and he could also consider cooperating with Liu Anran in films.

However, there must be a premise, and the basis of cooperation is that the conditions set by both parties must be reciprocal. Now Dream Media has a good momentum, and it is considered a leader among small film companies, but that's it. The current market value of his Pixar animation studio is nearly $2.5 billion, and you can't cooperate even if you sell all of them to Dream Media.

"As long as you have the intention to cooperate. If you want to grow Apple, I want to grow my Dream Media. At the moment, our company is in a blank period in the field of animation production, so I fell in love with your company. Liu Anran said with a smile.

"And I'm not going to hide it from you, my purpose is not just to buy shares, but to buy them all. Anyway, now you still have a film contract with Disney, and when your cooperation ends, you can see how our company is doing. ”

Jobs shook his head helplessly, he couldn't think of how Liu Anran would create billions of dollars in two or three years. Maybe it's really possible when Dream Media goes public in the future.

At this time, Owen also read the entire contract, handed it back to Liu An, and nodded.

"Jobs, with Tony? The two of us have also discussed the follow-up development of this player, and I will give you a suggestion here. Liu Anran said as he signed.

"Now your company's iTunes is only available on Apple devices, which can certainly increase brand awareness, but it is lacking in opening up the market."

"Apple products have always taken the high-end, boutique route, but not all people living in this world can afford this consumption, and not all of them are strong supporters of Apple computers. If iTunes doesn't support the Microsoft platform system, I'm afraid that no matter how well this player does, sales will be limited in the future. ”

"You might think it's better for Apple's brand, but I don't think so. Just like our company's second film, although it has a new director, it has ushered in a better reputation. And what people can think of is that this is the production of Dream Media. ”

"The same goes for the rest of the products, our player restricts the use of the Microsoft platform, which turns away a lot of potential consumers. You can't afford to buy an extra Apple computer for someone who only likes players, right? ”

"According to Apple's marketing strategy, this player must still be sold at a high price, which is a burden on users, coupled with the limitations of the application platform, I think it will also play a limiting role in sales."

After quietly listening to Liu Anran's words, Jobs thought for a while before he spoke: "What you said is indeed a very important factor, but I still want to try to use it only on the platform developed by our company." ”

Liu Anran was happy, and Jobs was also dead.

"Well, I'm just making a suggestion. You can make an iTunes software for the Microsoft platform in advance, and if the player doesn't sell well, you can launch it directly. For those of you who play with code, it won't take much time anyway. Liu Anran shrugged his shoulders and said.

In fact, in later generations, Jobs also discovered this problem, and he just said it in advance to let him take fewer detours. I am now a shareholder of Apple, and the whole company is profitable, so I will get more benefits. (To be continued.) )
