In 1986, Jo Busi bought a computer animation effects studio from George Lucas for $10 million and established an independent company, Pixar Animation Studios. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Pixar and launched the world's first fully 3D stereoscopic animated film "Toy Story" in 95, which was a huge success. In the later period, Pixar also launched a number of animated films, all of which were well received by the market.

In 2006, Disney announced the acquisition of its long-term partner Pixar Animation, which was valued at about $6.7 billion at the time, for up to $7.4 billion.

Disney buys Pixar stock at a ratio of 2.3:1, which means that each Pixar share is equivalent to 2.3 Disney shares. As a result, Jo Busi also became Disney's largest individual shareholder.

Disney is a world-class entertainment company, and the shares occupied by Qiao Busi are worth as much as 10 billion US dollars after two years of rise.

As the co-founder of the fruit company, Qiao Busi deeply put his brand on the fruit, but was driven out of the door by the fruit. Even if he returns to fruit, Qiao Busi only owns a small part of the shares as the president. On the contrary, it was Pixar that became the largest share of Qiao Busi's assets.

Qiao Busi has a tradition of investment, and if she wants to take a stake in Activision Blizzard, there is no problem with the motivation. Activision Blizzard is a company that is sure to make money, but it was only because Vivendi Group needed to shrink its business that it had to sell Blizzard.

"Vivendi needs a lot of cash, or a stake in a media and entertainment group to replace." Qiao Busi said, "I don't think any company can come up with so much cash at once, even if it is a few old consortia, it can't do it." ”

The reason why the consortium is powerful is that it can mobilize resources, and even the official forces. With the expansion of business, the consortium seems to be large, but in fact it is relatively scattered, and even the person at the helm of the consortium may not be able to deploy all its companies.

More than $10 billion may not be comparable to the market value of a consortium company. However, the market value belongs to the market value, which has a fixed value of production, material costs, and technology transfer premiums, and it is still very difficult to take out more than 10 billion US dollars in cash.

"Citibank is willing to guarantee me about $2 billion or so, and I can also swap Disney shares for Vivendi, but there is still a part of the gap." Qiao Busi said truthfully.

Qiao Busi looked for Du Jiayi, just because he fell in love with Du Jiayi's financial resources. Yijia Group has a number of companies, and there are only two listed companies, Yijia Media and Yijia Entertainment. Yijia Media has a market value of about US$15 billion on the NASDAQ, and Yijia Entertainment also has a market value of more than HK$20 billion in the South Island stock market.

Du Jiayi has an absolute controlling stake in these two listed companies, and with billions of dollars in loans, it should not be a big problem. What's more, among the Yijia Group, the two most promising companies in the market, Yijia Electronics and Yijia Network, have no plans to go public so far, nor have they raised funds, which are far underestimated by the market.

In other words, Du Jiayi was able to raise a huge amount of funds, which is why Qiao Busi asked Du Jiayi to cooperate.

"How much are you missing?" Du Jiayi asked.

"About five billion dollars." Qiao Busi looked at Du Jiayi, waiting for his reply.

"Why should I work with you? I was able to scrape together the funds. ”

Qiao Busi smiled: "You can indeed raise so much money, but this is also to put your company in trouble." And as a Chinese, it is very difficult for you to acquire Activision Blizzard. ”

"By stepping in, I can reduce the pressure on public opinion. I'm somewhat connected to a consortium, and if I were to buy Blizzard, they would probably give up. ”

Qiao Busi couldn't come up with that much cash, but he couldn't bear his reputation. As a giant who has lived in Silicon Valley for almost three decades, Qiao Busi's name is, to a certain extent, synonymous with greatness. Although the power of the consortium is huge, it will not take the initiative to provoke the Qiao gang leader.

Du Jiayi is single-handed, and may be directly rejected by Blizzard. What's more, the consortium that is eyeing up behind will never allow a Chinese kid to snatch a cash cow.

Qiao Busi did not mean to urge Du Jiayi, in his opinion, if Du Jiayi made up his mind to buy Blizzard, cooperating with him was the only way. Yijia Group and Fruit Company have a certain competitive relationship, if Du Jiayi agrees immediately, Qiao Busi will still be a little worried, it is normal to think about it more.

Du Jiayi was not entangled in whether to cooperate with Qiao Busi at all, but was deducing what Qiao Busi's deep intention was to find his own cooperation.

Yijia Network needs to strengthen its game, but there is no need to swallow such a behemoth as Blizzard. The League of Legends games being developed by Yijia Games and many of Blizzard's games are in conflict, and the acquisition will only add to the trouble. Du Jia Yi came to the United States with only one purpose, which is to buy an experienced game development team to make up for the technical shortcomings of Yi Jia games.

Of course, Du Jiayi's most heartfelt plan has not been announced, mainly to confuse Yuntao and Penguin, so that they can find the wrong direction and avoid interfering with Yijia Games' plan to acquire the game team. Whether Yuntao and Penguin were deceived or not, it is not clear for the time being, but Qiao Busi was frightened first.

"I need to think about it."

Qiao Busi nodded, the flow of billions of dollars is by no means a matter of words. As the chairman of the group, Du Jiayi also needs a certain amount of time to prepare.

"Then I'll wait for good news."

Du Jiayi did not object, nor did he agree.

Qiao Busi didn't expect to sign the contract right away, and he would negotiate with Activision Blizzard when he turned around. The larger the size of the acquisition, the longer it will last, and there is no need to rush.

Putting aside business matters, Qiao Busi and Du Jiayi also have a lot of topics to talk about.

Qiao Busi's work and life are two states, and she will be very cold and arrogant when she works, and she will talk less, and she will often be able to cut to the point. In life, he is just an ordinary middle-aged man, and he will also talk about his wife and some gossip rumors in Silicon Valley.

Du Jiayi is also very interested in Silicon Valley, where many Internet and electronics companies are gathered, and listens patiently to Qiao Busi about his experience in Silicon Valley and his evaluation of several famous companies. (To be continued.) )
