Jobs had made a pilgrimage to India a few years ago, and this pilgrimage also gave him a certain understanding of Buddhism, Hinduism and other religions. Jobs also had some sense of the supernatural ability of religious propaganda.

So now, when he hears Xu Guanwu explain the graphical operating system, the widespread use of mice, the application of electronic documents and data tables, the advent of large stock hard disks, etc., everything is as if he has seen it in person. Jobs couldn't help but think of the "Tianyantong" propagated in Buddhism, which was like Xu Guanwu had seen the future in advance, so he was able to depict it in such detail.

And judging from Jobs' expertise, Xu Guanwu's knowledge is likely to be realized within a few years. Moreover, some of the techniques are actually available now, but they are still only laboratory works, and have not yet reached the stage of large-scale commercial popularization.

This made Jobs wonder more and more, what kind of person Xu Guanwu is, and why does he understand the development of personal computers so clearly? ! He also had the same question as the fund manager Paul, but Jobs did not ask directly like Paul, but buried this doubt in his heart.

"I'm very optimistic about the future of Apple Computer, so I'm going to share with you these personal insights." After Xu Guanwu finished speaking, he felt a lot happier, and he was finally able to share some secrets with others. "I hope you will live up to my expectations and develop Apple Computer well. I believe that with your ingenuity and my foresight, Apple will grow rapidly. When the time comes. Let's all get rich together and make money in the whole world together. ”

Jobs and Woznek looked at each other, shocked and excited. It is true that they have so much information in advance, so that they know the future development of personal computers, which will indeed allow them to lay out in advance, put all their human resources in the right direction, and reduce any unnecessary mistakes. It's like a multi-nation scuffle, and you've already discovered all the enemy's situation, and if you can't achieve the ultimate victory, then the general's talent is really clumsy.

Xu Guanwu told Apple the news. Instead of telling Microsoft's Bill. Gates. In fact, he was afraid that he would bite back at any time. Don't forget that his dad is the owner of a law firm, and his mom is the director of IBM. Even Bill. Gates left Microsoft, and with the power of his father and mother, he will also cause a lot of trouble for Xu Guanwu. Don't forget that IBM also introduced the personal computer in the eighties. And at one point, it almost wiped out Apple.

……

The picnic ends. Xu Guanwu returned to Silicon Valley and returned to Hollywood with his wife. Jobs and Woznek were left in Silicon Valley. The two immediately started a new recruitment plan, and set up a number of laboratories at a rapid pace, and began to vigorously research and develop future technology.

The shortcomings in terms of funding are made up by angel funds. Although it is impossible to give Xu Guanwu more equity, he also signed a share purchase contract in advance, agreeing to repay the loan with the same share of the original shares before Apple goes public.

Apple's newly established laboratory research project is unknown, but the code name is reverie, "Future Illusion"! Microsoft, which has also received Xu Guanwu's investment and VISICALC authorization, has also begun the process of compilation and porting.

Xu Guanwu did not know how much his trip to Silicon Valley had brought to the personal computer industry, and this year was later known as the golden year for the development of personal computer technology.

Xu Guanwu, who returned to Hollywood, was immediately dragged by Richard, and wanted him to help screen the script. But this time Xu Guanwu was not so easy to speak. Last time, I finally chose a "Moonlight Panic" for him, but Richard just prevaricated left and right and didn't appreciate it, so Xu Guanwu inevitably had some opinions about him, and he didn't plan to mess with him again.

Besides, he had just talked about tens of billions of business with the richest man in the world, and now he encountered this kind of tens of millions of dollars, which made Xu Guanwu unable to lift his spirits at all. Winning or losing is only a matter of tens of millions of dollars, and Xu Guanwu's tens of billions of dollars in the future are already firmly in his hands. How can he still put this kind of small business in his eyes.

To be honest, if it weren't for his deep love for Hong Kong movies, Xu Guanwu wouldn't want to manipulate Hong Kong movies anymore. Whether it is investing in high-tech industries or real estate, the returns are much higher than investing in movies.

And Xu's annual revenue is only 30 or 40 million Hong Kong dollars, which is not enough for Xu Guanwu to invest in an American blockbuster. It's just that Xu Guanwu can't bear these beloved Hong Kong films, so he has been staying in Hong Kong to operate. However, for him, American movies are just a tool to make money, and a stake for Hong Kong films to enter the United States, how can he be willing to spend a lot of effort to operate.

After returning to Hollywood, Xu Guanwu just accompanied his wife to go shopping, buy clothes, or go to Lei Shidong to mess around. Lei Shidong made a lot of money because he screened a number of top ten movies at the annual box office last year, in addition to planning to buy theaters again, there is also an idea to buy shares in the film company, but he does not value Fox, which is now profitable, but Paramount, which is not optimistic about any investor.

Although Paramount, like his peak symbol, is known as the pinnacle of Hollywood film and television, in fact, since the 50s, Paramount's business has been in trouble, and many of the movies it invested in failed at the box office, making Paramount's accounts lose money year after year. Although it occasionally releases popular and popular movies such as the "Godfather" series and "Chinatown", it has never been able to turn things around, and the stock price has been in a downturn.

Since last year, Paramount has had a new head - Barry. Diller, a TV guy who came out of the AMC network. He has made great contributions to AMC, creating two enduring broadcast modes of TV series and TV movies.

However, after he became the owner of Paramount, there are various comments from the outside world about whether he can make a comeback for this old film and television empire. However, there are still many people who are optimistic, because movies are very different from TV after all, and they can make a name for themselves in the TV industry, but they may not be able to show their talents in the film industry. And Barry. Deller has only experience in the television industry. But he has hardly ever set foot in the film industry, so it is inevitable that he will have low eyes and inexperience.

However, contrary to everyone's opinion, Lei Shidong was very interested in Barry. Diller was full of confidence and invested most of his family property in Paramount, which made Xu Guanwu a little surprised. He knew that Lei Shidong would buy Paramount in the future, but he didn't expect to start doing it now.

Lei Shidong also wants to invite Xu Guanwu to invest together, in addition to wanting to share wealth with Xu Guanwu, in fact, the bigger reason is that he wants to share hardships together if there is something. After all, Xu Guanwu has extraordinary abilities, if Paramount really has something. He can also help with a wake-up call. Let Lei Shidong be able to withdraw as soon as possible.

However, Xu Guanwu was not interested in Lei Shidong's proposal. He has now taken a stake in 20th Century Fox and has become a member of Darryl. Zaniuk's loyal partner, the same as Richard. Zaniuk and David. Brown and the others also have a good relationship. Not to mention his own movies such as "Star Wars", "Jaws", "Rocky", "Contact of the Third Kind" and so on. Now it's all in 20th Century Fox Productions and Distribution.

It can be said that Xu Guanwu is now tightly tied to 20th Century Fox. So there's no reason to invest in Paramount Pictures again. Now the bell is not knocked down to smelt copper. This is not only not in their own economic interests, but also easy to cause misunderstanding in 20th Century Fox.

was rejected by Xu Guanwu, and Lei Shidong couldn't help but be a little flustered. He highly trusted Xu Guanwu's judgment. I can't go back and forth with him. But if Xu Guanwu refuses to take a stake in Paramount, does it mean that its profit prospects are not good enough?! Lei Shidong thought about it for a while, and he couldn't wait to sell the stocks in his hand immediately, although this would cause some losses, it was better than losing them all.

Seeing Lei Shidong's nervous look, Xu Guanwu estimated that he might have misunderstood. He hurriedly stopped, "If you plan to sell Paramount stock, I advise you to wait and see." ”

"Huh?! Don't you think it's a bad profit prospect, so why should I wait and see? Lei Shidong asked suspiciously, not quite understanding what Xu Guanwu's intentions were.

"I'm not saying Paramount's earnings prospects are bad, in fact I agree with you that I believe in Barry. Diller will manage Paramount well. Xu Guanwu waved his hand.

He vaguely remembered Barry. Diler seems to be rated as one of the most capable heads in Hollywood, and he also competed with Lei Shidong for Paramount Pictures that year, and he almost succeeded in robbing him. If you didn't have a little ability, would you have been able to raise that much money?!

And Xu Guanwu still remembers that Lei Shidong acquired Paramount in the 90s, and spent a total of more than 10 billion US dollars. Even taking into account inflation, currency depreciation and other factors, Paramount's market capitalization has still increased nearly ten times compared to now. Fully shown Barry. Diller's business was a success. Therefore, it is very likely that Lei Shidong will make a lot of money because of this investment, so he will not have to worry about losing money and sell.

"So since you think Paramount's earnings outlook is good, the stock could be high in the future. So why are you not going to invest? Lei Shidong couldn't help but ask strangely. In his opinion, if you don't make any money, won't you be a fool?

"I'm not in the same situation as you, I'm already a shareholder of Fox, and you're not. So you can invest in Paramount, and I can't. Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said, "Besides, I have established a good cooperative relationship with Fox Corporation, so I don't need to go to Paramount to re-adapt." ”

"Well, well, I won't force you." Lei Shidong nodded and accepted Xu Guanwu's explanation.

……

After saying goodbye to Lei Shidong, Xu Guanwu had just returned to the hotel to rest, and Richard came to the door with David, and staged a guilty plea in front of Xu Guanwu.

"Stanley, you're going to forgive me. Horror movies are really not my specialty, and I have specially sent someone to be responsible for that "Moonlight Panic", you can rest assured that this year's Halloween will definitely be able to catch up with the shooting. Richard said apologetically.

"Yes, Stanley, Richard already knows that he is wrong, give him another chance." David. Brown also advised.

Xu Guanwu waved his hand, "I'm not angry with you, but I'm really in a bad mood lately, so I want to go shopping with my wife to relax." I didn't expect you to wait so much, since you all came to the door, I don't want to hide in the hotel anymore and be lazy, I'll go to the company tomorrow to have a look. ”

"That's great, in that case, let's go first. Stanley, if you're in a bad mood, just watch more TV, or go for a massage and relax. After Richard finished speaking, he took David with him. Brown left.

Xu Guanwu smiled, thinking that people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden. If you don't give some color to see, I really don't know that the prince of Lu Dao Ma has three eyes. Filmmakers like Richard are spoiled and have learned to be picky eaters. I don't want to think that it wasn't funded by Xu Guanwu at the beginning, and it is estimated that he has been forced to change careers now. (To be continued......)
