Chapter 567: Controlling the Future of Blockbusters (2)
Claudia, whose face has not faded, is tired of being in her grandson's arms, and she is too lazy to move, "Boss, you are so good, let me fly three times." ”
Sun Ziming extinguished the cigarette butt with water, then put it in the ashtray by the bathtub, pinched Claudia's full chest, and asked about going to Seattle.
As soon as she mentioned her work, Claudia, who was lazy, immediately turned into a shrewd and capable white-collar elite, "Boss, Microsoft's share expansion this time, if you still want to maintain the position of the third largest shareholder, you need to invest 1." $8.9 billion. …… Also, Mr. Mogridge, the chairman of Cisco, sold his name 7. 2% of the shares, the asking price is $68 million, and I have already bought it. ”
"What?" Sun Ziming exclaimed, the strength of his subordinates was not well controlled, and Claudia was pinched, and there was a scream of "oh".
Sun Ziming let go of his hand, rubbed it on her plump snow peak, and hurriedly asked, "Cisco is so worthless?" ”
Claudia knew that the boss didn't care much about the stock market, so she said angrily: "Cisco's sales revenue last year was 700 million US dollars, and the market value was only 600 million US dollars, if you didn't say that the more shares of Cisco, the better, I wouldn't accept Mogoridge's blackmail at all!" ”
Sun Ziming didn't know what to say for a while, Mogoridge's father could see the future of Cisco, and he did not hesitate to squeeze the founders Leonard Bossak and his wife out of the company and grab the chairman's position, and he couldn't see the future of Cisco as a son?
"Boss, even if he sells these shares, it will not affect his position as chairman. Mogoridge is a shrewd man, and with a 40% premium on our purchase price, he made a fortune and received much-needed funds for the company's growth! ”
Hmph, no matter how shrewd he is, he is also clever, let the little fly-headed Xiaoli get dizzy, he will cry in the future!
Sun Ziming calculated that he already had 18% of Cisco's shares and could not acquire them anymore. Cisco has been able to develop by leaps and bounds, on the one hand, because of its technological leadership, and more importantly, the next president will vigorously support the development of the Internet. If Cisco becomes its own company, it is estimated that it will be excluded from the people who share the cake, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Claudia still doesn't understand that she also recognizes the prospect of the 'information superhighway' (the Internet), but why does Cisco have to be the leader? Now in the United States, Cisco is not the only one working on the 'information superhighway', since Leonard? After the Bosses left Cisco, it lost a lot of technicians, and the company was on the verge of becoming a second-rate enterprise.
"Claudia, this is a pre-labor pain. Professional things have to be done by professional people, and those nerds who want to start a career with technology, if they don't have Bill's business talent, will sooner or later become Mogoridge's men! ”
This is something that Claudia also admits. Just like his own boss, he has always just proposed directions and goals for the company, and then let George and Peng take full charge of the company's operations. In less than a year, George made ESPN the NO on sports television. 1, but also let its entertainment channel began to develop rapidly.
Sun Ziming listened to it, Claudia still didn't understand George, he was able to develop ESPN so fast, and he did a lot of things in secret. Unscrupulous means cannot be talked about, but deception is essential. How do those nerds know this, and really think that as long as they work hard, they can achieve the American dream?
"Boss, I want to stay in Seattle for a long time, what do you think?"
"Okay, that's the laboratory of the future world, I'll go to Steve when I run out of funds, and I've said hello to him."
After hesitating, Sun Ziming still cared about the private life of this capable man, as he told Nicole Kidman, interests alone cannot be exchanged for loyalty. She follows herself, can gain wealth, but never true happiness.
Claudia's heart was warm, and she hugged her grandson Ming and kissed her for a while, before she said coquettishly: "Boss, don't worry, love can't be forced." When I meet, I love it, but if I don't, it's good, and I work hard every day. ”
"Whatever you want, anyway, I'm just reminding you: work is work, life is life, OK?"
“OK”
……
Early the next morning, Claudia finished her grandson's breakfast and went to Seattle. After Sun Ziming finished eating, he also went to the special effects company, and on the way he made a phone call to James Cameron. This old guy took his own 50 million dollars in production fees, and he had to ask the special effects company to find a way to snatch the special effects.
It's also not right, earning money back is secondary, squeezing out the 'digital realm' is also secondary, the key is to be able to accumulate experience. When Sun Ziming arrived at the company, that's what he said to Tim.
"Yes, I think so too", Tim was unusually rude, after demonstrating his work results, and after getting affirmation, he followed Sun Ziming like a sycophant, and kept echoing him.
Out of the office, Sun Ziming sat on a computer chair with no one in place, turned around comfortably twice, and saw that everyone was busy, he felt that the company was very energetic, so he was satisfied: "A few more words, there are not many opportunities for you to please." ”
Tim seemed to have taken the wrong medicine today, sat on the computer desk, and continued to flatter, "NO, how can I pat your ass, this is an objective evaluation of your foresight." You are the most talented director in Hollywood and the most discerning director......"
When a few eyed men (women) next to him passed by, they made a vomiting appearance at Sun Ziming behind Tim's back, which made him laugh. There is no hierarchy of light and shadow special effects, and there is no big or small habit up and down. Just two months ago, Tim threatened Sun Ziming with his job, asking him to give himself the opportunity to pursue Sophie Marceau, and finally the courtship failed, becoming the laughing stock of the whole company.
"Finished shooting? OK, I'm happy with your sycophants, now say what you ask. ”
Tim immediately snapped his fingers at a girl next to him with a freckled face and glasses thicker than the bottom of a wine bottle, motioning for her to send her the purchase plan. If you report to Peng, it must be a plan, budget, and review, how can you directly make it easy for the big boss to sign? The special effects company is his heart, and it has always been how much it costs and how much it is given!
"Boss, I told you last time that as soon as a new server comes out, we can make real dinosaurs. The day before yesterday, IBM launched a new mainframe, one for only $150,000, and we want to buy 20 units, along with some other equipment. You can rest assured that we have carefully studied the performance and it is perfectly suited to our needs. Also, those old servers are long overdue, and I'm going to give them all the training to the interns and complete some easier auxiliary work......"
When the guy finished chattering, Sun Ziming neatly refused: "NO! ”
Last time, this kid said the same thing, fooling himself into buying twenty mainframes for $4.2 million. Later, I asked a few interns from the mainland, but in fact, only five stations were enough. Damn, no matter how rich you are, you have to save some flowers, and what you save is pure profit! Don't think you don't know, this kid is fast, twenty mainframes are definitely faster than five. As for finishing the work, he continued to tinker with his digital synthesis, and he didn't want to pay a penny anyway, and he also had several batches of equipment for training interns.
Hearing Sun Ziming's refusal, Tim was stunned for a while before he reacted, and immediately changed the image of the sycophant just now, and turned into a shrew in the well market, "Why? Your words don't count, you're a liar, Judas ......"
The boss scolded? The people in the big office hurriedly stood up to watch the excitement, Sun Ziming didn't care about this, and listened to Tim's denunciation while digging his ears with his little finger. When Tim was tired of scolding, Sun Ziming took the girl's paper clip, picked up the pen and cut the budget in half for him. Tim saw that his grandson had signed, and quickly put on a smiling face, "Boss, you are such a good person." You're the same, you're all ready to sign, why are you complaining? Isn't that ruining my image? ……”
When he said a good word, the girl pushed him, opened the text folder, turned her head and snickered: "Tim, the boss only approves half of it." ”
At this time, Sun Ziming saw Lu Huiguang leading the old man in from a distance, and hurriedly got up and went out. Tim glanced at Wen Jiàn, was so angry that he smoked, chased after Sun Ziming out of the real room, and scolded, "Ming, you are a big liar!" You can't go, you promised me ......"
