Chapter 9: Industrial Light & Magic (3)
"Jerry~"
Jerry hurriedly pulled the earpiece far away, and inside the earpiece, it was Paul. Allen and Bill. Gates' lion roar!
"How can you be like this, you can't be like this! You actually pledged 19% of the shares to Bank of America without notifying us! Listen, that's our stake in Microsoft, and we have a right to know! OHο½Shitο½β
"Hey~ Paul, are you dissatisfied, or menstruated~ irregular, you don't need to yell at me so much! And, while I grabbed the microphone, I was about to call you guys about it! Yes, trust me, that's what I'm going to do! β
"Is this for the devil? Is it? Is it for the ghosts? β
"If you feel like a ghost, I don't care! Also, you have to learn from Bill, at least, he is more stable than you, and he will never like to yell like you! β
"He's like a stuffy melon, yes, that's not wrong at all, stuffy melon, that's it! I never think that stuffy melon represents stability~ and wisdom! β
On the other side of the phone, Bill. Gates protested and then Paul. Allen was deprived of the right to call!
"Listen, Jerry! I think Paul and I have the right to know about the share mortgage, after all, this includes the 10% of the transfer between me and Paul, which is responsible for the company! A genius like you is very important to us! And, we're friends, aren't we? If you have any difficulties, you can let us know first, and we will do our best to help you! Listen, we're not trying to interfere with your freedom, it's just that whether it's you, Jishu, or shares, it's important to Paul and me! I hope you can understand this! β
"Alright! Bill, I'm daoqian, it's me who didn't think it through! I promise there won't be a next time! Or next time, I'm sure Paul will have an endocrine disorder! You didn't call me just to ask for guilt, did you? β
"Of course not! The development of Windows 2.0 has been completed, and I would like to inform you that it will be released this month! β
"It's amazing! Wait, Bill, what month is it? β
"July? What's wrong? β
"Perhaps, we will have to wait another four months!"
"Jerry, that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard! We need market share now, and the sooner we bring Windows 2.0 to market, the more market share we can get! β
"Bill, you're not wrong at all! But I have a better idea, you know, Apple's new Macintosh is about to hit the market. Bill, what do you think of Apple? β
Bill. Gates is a little confused, since Apple's company's new model is about to go on the market, then Windows 2.0 will be even more listed!
"Apple? Very good! It's a pity that they drove Stephen away. Jobs! β
"How does it compare to the current Microsoft?"
"Stronger than us, but it's only temporary!"
"Do you think IBM computers with Windows 2.0 will get more market share if they go on the market with the new Macintosh models?"
"It's not wise at all! Jerry, we have to get ahead of them! If you do, it's tantamount to playing with fire**! β
"You still don't understand what I'm thinking! Bill! Do you think there is any difference between 2.0 and GUI in terms of appearance? β
"If there is a difference, maybe the 2.0 look is more humane!"
"So, if 2.0 goes on with the GUI, we're going to get more market share, can I understand that?"
"Of course! That's for sure! β
"So, what do you think Apple's reaction will be to a, well, knockoffs!"
"Knockoffs?"
"It's a replica."
"You mean, they're going to accuse us. No, they can't do that, we have an agreement! Wait, Jerry, you mean, going on sale with Apple's new models, clearly stealing their market share, provoking them off, making them sue us, and then using our deal to win! Do you mean to use the lawsuit to set off a public opinion and achieve the purpose of promoting Windows 2.0? β
"That's right, provoke them, provoke them hard, make John. Scully knew that there was an operating system that mimicked the GUI idea, but was better than the GUI, and was blatantly stealing their market share! β
"Shit~ This is the best idea I've ever heard, Jerry, you're a fucking genius!" On the other side of the microphone, Bill. Gates excitedly came directly to the United States.
"I accept your compliment! This will ease the guilt in my heart a little! You know, about mortgaging 19% of the shares! I'm sorry! β
"Alright, Jerry, forget about the mortgage!" Sticking to the microphone next to Paul who heard Jerry's thoughts. Alan had already taken the microphone with a grin, "By the way, is Ms. Nanako here?" Let her answer the phone, well, I have something to tell her! β
Listening to this awkward tone, Jerry also knew what Paul was thinking, and he replied angrily, "She's not here!" β
Then, just hung up the phone!
On the other side of the phone, Paul. Alan hung up the phone, looking depressed!
"Don't think that little guy doesn't know what you're thinking!"
This is Bill. What Gates said!
Three months later!
βOHο½ShitοΌ Burke, what are you doing? A little lighter in color, are you dealing with a penguin? Do you think dinosaur skin would have such a heavy shade? A little lighter, O~K! Perfect ~ hey ~ hey ~ Watch out for that crocodile, damn it, it jumps, Stephen, can't you just stop doing these moves? I know, I know, it's hungry! But can you pick a time and don't throw that thing over! ShitοΌ Help~"
After being fished out of the crocodile pond by Nanako Tanaka, Jerry has a black face.
"Stephen, are you too idle! Did you get that velociraptor right? Will it go or will it scream? Don't tell me it can't open its mouth yet! My time is precious, very precious! You only have three weeks, no, two weeks! That's right, just two weeks! In two weeks, I'm flying to the West Coast of the United States! I do what I say! Damn, who's going to come and pull this damn crocodile away with a noose! George ~ George ~"
In order to fill in the muscles, fill in the blood vessels, stick the skin, and simulate the movements of the pile of skeletons that have nothing on the computer, George. Lucas actually found a crocodile, a turtle, and an American lizard! ,
However, that crocodile turned out to be Stephen. Spielberg's pets!
This gives Jerry a headache!
"If it weren't for you telling me Steve. If Steve Jobs were to come to California this month, I'd leave immediately! Damn George, what are you doing, get this reptile away for me! β
"haha~ I can't imagine you're afraid of crocodiles!"
"It's not good at all, Stephen~ If you smear blood on your body and throw you into the crocodile pool, you'll be scared too! Now, pull it away for me, I don't want to look at its ugly face~"
"Hey ~ Jerry, can you tell me why I met Steve?"
"Pull that alligator away for me, and I'll tell you why. When I saw its devilish eyes, my legs trembled! β
George did as he said, and used a rope to restrain the crocodile's mouth and dragged it into the pond!
βSOο½β
"It's simple. I'm interested in what Mr. Jobs has in his hands. β
"Is there anything else you're interested in at NEXT? Let me guess, what exactly? MAC system? β
"No, I don't need that kind of! The thing I'm interested in is Pixar! You sold Pixar! β
"The computer animation working group?"
"Yes! If you can wait another year, or I can buy it from you for 60 million dollars! β
"Oh God! You weishenme don't show up early! Steve only spent $10 million! β
Stephen. When Spielberg heard this, he smiled and walked over and patted George. Lucas's shoulder, "Man, in one year, you've lost fifty million dollars, it's so tragic!" β
"It doesn't get any worse than that! Couldn't Marcia wait another year! "Poor George. Lucas clutched his head, his face painful! Marcia is George. Lucas's wife, George. Lucas would have sold Pixar solely to pay for the divorce costs, otherwise George. Lucas's Industrial Light & Magic and other companies will be sold! Because according to the marriage agreement, Marcia owned George. Half of all the property in Lucas's name!
And Jerry wasn't going to let him go, who would let this guy indulge that hateful cold-blooded creature to bark his teeth at him!
"Actually, George, if you make Marcia wait another year, maybe ILM will be torn in half!"
"Alright! Maybe you're right! It's just that I lost 50 million US dollars like this, which is really unwilling! β
Everybody hahadaxiao!
A week later, at the NEXT plant in Felimont, California, Jerry met young Steve. Jobs, though, as Jerry expected, Steve Jobs. Jobs had no intention of selling Pixar, because "Naughty Jumping Lights" gave him a glimpse of Pixar's bright future.
"Mr. Jobs, if one day you have this idea, you can tell George. Mr. Lucas, he knows how to contact me! β
This is Jerry's left to Steve. Jobs's zuihou words, two days later, he took Nanako Tanaka across the United States, flying from the East Coast to the West Coast, as for Nakajo Hisaya, sent back to China, this chick, and let her in Stephen. If Spielberg stays in the model studio, she probably forgets what a comic is!
From 1964 to 1973, Bernard Brown was a member of the company. Kornfeld & Robert. A financial scandal broke out in the overseas service provider company controlled by Wiens successively!
From 1973 to 1975, the collapse of the Bretton Woods system centered on the dollar, and the most serious economic crisis since World War II broke out in the United States, resulting in rising inflation and high unemployment.
Since 1982, the international financial market has been flooded with funds, impacting the currency market and the stock market, and the stock market speculation has become increasingly rampant, and the stock market has risen at an extremely abnormal rate, so that the growth rate of stock prices has greatly exceeded the economic growth rate, and the stock prices are seriously out of touch with economic development!
The Dow Jones Industrial Index in the United States in 1982, the average was only 884.4 points, in 1983 soared to 1190.3 points, although in 1984 it fell to 1178 points, but since 1985 after the US economy rebounded, the stock market has become increasingly prosperous, stock speculation is flourishing, stock prices are like taking a plane. Between October 1982 and September 1987, the index of industrial production in the United States increased by only 30.5 percent, while the Dow Jones index soared from 776.9 points to 2,722.42 on August 25, 1987, an increase of nearly three times. From January to September 1987, Japan alone invested about $15 billion in new purchases of U.S. stocks.
At the beginning of 1987, John. Kentes. Writing in The Atlantic, Galbraith commented on the bad prospects for the U.S. stock market and compared it to the events of 1929, but his comments did not sober up those who were intoxicated with the stock market!
The time was frozen to September 28, 1987.
