Chapter 268: Negotiation (2)
"Ed, isn't it time for technicians to focus on technical work? I know that R&D, procedures, and the like are very time-consuming and energy-consuming. How about leaving the administration of the company to the Hong Kong side? β
Xu Ke patiently persuaded carefully.
Ed looked at Xu Ke intently with somewhat dull eyes, and said, "Huck, you are a smart person. You should understand the impact of the pros and cons of administration on the company. β
George on the side. Lucas also spoke: "Huck, you may not know it yet, but in addition to being a technical maniac, Ed is also a genius in management. In addition to the fact that he is the core soul of the computer animation department, there is also an important reason why I am reluctant to let Ed go, which is that Ed is also an indispensable person in the management of my companyβ. β
Steve. Jobs said slowly, "So, Ed, you better come to me." All, all the management, personnel, funds, all the qiΔ, all by you, I just want the result. β
Ed Muran's eyes glanced at Steve, then at Xu Ke, but did not speak.
In fact, he is a little inclined to Xu Ke in his heart, although Xu Ke is a yellow race, he is a filmmaker.
George. Lucas pouted: "Steve, you know, the financier behind this Huck is bidding fifteen million dollars, but you only give a price of 10 million dollars, which is half the sky-high price of you." β
Steve. When Jobs heard this, he couldn't help but stare at Xu Ke who was hesitating a little depressed. It's all this Eastern nouveau riche who spoiled his good deeds.
But where is a computer department that can't generate profits yet worth the sky-high price of 15 million?
If it weren't for the computer technology of Ed's team, as well as Pixar computers and various software technologies, which are of great use to the computers that Jobs is developing today, Jobs would not have paid $10 million to buy them.
Apple's situation in the past two years has been a little worrying, and the cash in Jobs' pocket is not so rich. Especially in the past two years. After being cleared from Apple's board of directors, Sao Nian is about to make a comeback, and he is ashamed of the snow, and there are places where money is used everywhere. How is it possible to shell out a huge amount of money to support any computer animation department?
Of course, if this department can really give him some surprises, he is happy to see it......
However, the good plan was ruined by this bullshit director from the East.
Hearing this, Xu Ke pondered for a moment before raising his head and saying, "It's not that administrative management can't be given to you." But there must be people from Hong Kong among the senior and mid-level cadres, and in addition, we will arrange some interns to come for internships, and I hope Ed can teach you attentively. β
A smile finally appeared on Ed Muran's face, and he said, "This is natural, after all, our purpose is all for the development of Pixar, isn't it?" β
Xu Ke gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, but he had to smile and say, "Yes." You're right, we're all for the development of Pixar. In the future, our movies may need some computer special effects, and I hope Ed can pay more attention to you when the time comes. β
Ed shrugged and said, "It's my job." β
Lucas saw this on the sidelines, and the two reached an agreement. Naturally, he was overjoyed, and he naturally preferred the fifteen million transfer fee compared to 10 million.
And as for Steve. Jobs, on the other hand, had a depressed face. But he was also prepared. After all, no one will only need $10 million instead of $15 million.
But there is preparation, there is preparation, but whoever lets the meat fly away. It's not going to be happy. In particular, Pixar computers are very useful for his computers.
When Xu Ke's lawyer, ILM's lawyers and financial staff began to deal with trivial matters, Xu Kewan declined Lucas's invitation to dinner, and he wanted to talk to Yan Qingyu on the phone.
Although the acquisition of Pixar's animation division was successful, the price paid was not insignificant.
Funding is only one aspect, the key is the power of administrative decision-making.
The reason why Jobs said that he was eliminated by Apple is because he was deprived of Apple's administrative decision-making power.
Although he still holds a large number of Apple shares, he now only enjoys the right to dividends, and is no longer qualified to dictate Apple's development and direction.
In the same way, although Xu Ke acquired Industrial Light & Magic's Pixar Animation Studio for Yan Qingyu, Yan Qingyu had no way to interfere with the development and personnel management of this studio.
Of course, if Yan Qingyu assigns the next task, Ed still needs to complete it with heart.
But in any case, the price is not insignificant.
Xu Ke was sitting in the car thinking about how to phrase it so that Yan Qingyu would not be angry with him, but the car was forced to stop by a car coming from behind.

"Yan Sheng, although Hutchison, Xin Ngee An, and 14k are the three largest societies on the island. But that doesn't mean that the three of us can cover the sky with one hand. In addition to the three of us, there are more than a dozen powerful large character piles in Hong Kong, and there are also some relatively powerful small and medium-sized character stacks. Yan Sheng, with all due respect, these people may be even harder to speak than we are. To use an old saying, it is probably that those who are barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes. If you want them to give up the fat to their mouths, I'm afraid ......"
Bearded Yong was not willing to be lonely, holding a cigar in his mouth, and looking at Yan Qingyu with a pair of oily eyes behind the smoke.
Looking at the flying smoke rings, Yan Qingyu frowned with some disgust, he didn't like to smoke.
Yan Qingyu inadvertently waved his hand, rolled up a stream of air, and the smoke that rushed in his direction rolled back and choked into Hu Yong's nose.
When it comes to the realm of Yan Qingyu, it is naturally unreliable to kill people with internal strength, but if you just drive away the smoke, you can still do it.
Looking at the bearded Yong who was coughing, Yan Qingyu said lightly: "Whether you understand it as a vote or an exchange of interests." This is the way I have drawn, if you want to do it, you can do it, and if you don't want to do it, you can get out of the game now. β
Hu Xuyong was still laughing at his eldest brother Cheng just now, and he was majestic for half his life, but today he was beaten in front of a yellow-mouthed child. Unexpectedly, Yan Qingyu gave him such a play in a blink of an eye.
He is a person who is used to being slippery, not born in the second generation of black like the Xiang brothers, nor like the eldest brother Cheng, who kills with one punch and one kick.
Hu Xu Yong is a real boiled seniority, and he is a big guy who has worked hard and scheming.
What he said just now is actually just an inertial desire to bargain and negotiate, there must always be a relationship, right?
Unexpectedly, Yan Qingyu was so impatient, and directly flipped the table.
How did he know that Yan Qingyu's most annoying thing was dealing with oily people like him, especially black oil.
For the second generation of black like the Xiang brothers, Yan Qingyu actually doesn't have much disgust. With such a background, who can choose not to succeed?
For a hero like Big Brother Cheng, Yan Qingyu is not disgusted. Because Chen Yaoxing is such a person, in order to get ahead, he fights in the rivers and lakes with one punch and one kick, and there is nothing unseemly.
But for a person like Hu Xuyong, who has a lot of qualifications and makes his mind out of position, Yan Qingyu really owes half of his favor.
Hu Xuyong's face changed for a while, and after all, he still didn't have the courage to turn his face with Yan Qingyu.
Although 14k has secretly taken refuge in the Huo family, that is, in the mainland. But nominally part of the Kuomintang-controlled secret service system, it still receives a lot of money every year.
On top of that, a large part of the 14k veterans are now living in Taiwan. This part of the person is 14k's vitality, and it is also the vitality of his beard.
It is precisely because of this part of the elders who are extremely high in seniority and have great power in the community that he can have today's status in the rivers and lakes.
If you are greedy for a moment of pleasure today and turn your face with Yan Qingyu, the consequences will ......
Being able to get through to this point, the cheekiness is no different from a joke for Hu Xu Yong, although he has taken refuge in the Huo family, but he is still the root of the Kuomintang in his bones, seeing Yan Qingyu looking at him expressionlessly, Hu Xu Yong's face was instantly full of smiles, and he smiled politely: "Yo, Yan Sheng, look at my mouth, I am usually used to it." Don't you mind, just do what you say, isn't it just a vote? I'll do it for you! β
has a flattering face, and looks at Xiang Qiang with contempt. Even if they apologized to Yan Qingyu at the beginning, they never said a word "you". And Xiang Sheng's eyes were a little more jealous. When they made amends to Yan Qingyu, they were basically their own people on that occasion. The Jianghu people present were all bending over.
But in today's scene, Hu Xuyong was able to pull down his face to make amends, and I have to say that he is a ruthless man, a ruthless man who dares to slap his face.
Those who are ruthless to others are not ruthless, but those who are ruthless to themselves are really jealous......
As for the eldest brother Cheng, he glanced at Hu Yong with a pale face. There is no contempt, and there is no jealousy.
Even if bearded Yong is a poisonous snake, his eldest brother Cheng is not a farmer, but a dragon in the rivers and lakes.
If it's in the way, it's killed.
Yan Qingyu didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, and then looked at Xiang Haoqiang and Big Brother Cheng.
Big Brother Cheng nodded cleanly and said: "There is no problem, except for the regular film companies on Hong Kong Island, all other workshop-style filming venues will be cleared." β
As the oldest association in Hong Kong, Hutchison naturally occupies the most oily and watery Hong Kong Island.
Xiang Haoqiang also nodded, "My piece is fine." β
Xiang Yusheng was a little embarrassed: "Yan Sheng, although some people do not do things very badly, but there are indeed some people who have also spent a lot of money to buy movie equipment, if they are smashed like this......"
Yan Qingyu didn't get angry when he heard this, he propped up his chin with one hand, and after thinking about it for a few seconds, the afterglow of his eyes suddenly swept over You Bo, who was squinting at him, and sneered in his heart, but his face was not obvious, and he said: "In this way, since you are from the rivers and lakes, you can take the road of the rivers and lakes." I don't know if Mr. Xiang has heard of Japan's Cheng. No video of people? It's the so-called Japanese A.V. β
