Chapter 932: The Horn of Counterattack
As a person who has debuted for decades and is old enough to be Li Jingming's grandfather, Spielberg's connections in Hollywood and his status in the film industry are far from being comparable to Li Jingming, but many people were surprised to find that this-for-tat that lasted for several months was finally won by Li Jingming.
As the winner, Li Jingming did not take the opportunity to show off his might everywhere, nor did he step on two feet again, not because of how generous he was, but because he received a call from Jobs and had to be busy with more important things.
Jobs's war with pancreatic cancer has been going on for a long time, and although he is receiving the best treatment, the deterioration of his condition continues, and reason tells him that this is an irreversible thing, so arranging his own aftermath needs to be put on the agenda. Jobs has always hoped to find an heir, not an heir to inherit his property, but an heir to his will, and in the many years he has worked at Apple, he has also seen a lot of all kinds of young talents, but none of them can satisfy him, until Li Jingming appears.
Emotionally speaking, Jobs doesn't like Li Jingming, and even dislikes him a little, because Li Jingming is a smiling tiger, who is good to everyone on the surface, but he is very selfish in his heart, and in Jobs's opinion, a paranoid person does not need to be disguised. Intellectually speaking, Jobs admired Li Jingming very much, because Li Jingming's wisdom and outstanding vision were far beyond even his predecessors, and Li Jingming was at the helm of Apple, which could erect a towering monument in this era.
[Tangling was a waste of time for Jobs, so he made a direct call to invite Li Jingming to his home, and he needed to have a more in-depth conversation with Li Jingming than before.]
"Jimmy, I'm sure you've been waiting for this day for a long time, haven't you?" Jobs still can't let go of his usual wise and unfathomable appearance, even if the disease is tormenting him with pain, he is still the same Jobs.
"Yes. From the day I met you. Li Jingming knew from the day he first met that Jobs would not be alive for long, and the partners who worked with the company may not know much about Jobs's condition, but Li Jingming is different, he clearly knows that this legend will fall in another year.
At the beginning, Li Jingming deliberately joined Apple with a plan to occupy the magpie's nest, but at this moment, looking at the old man in front of him, who was not an old man, he was shaken for the first time, and he was not sure if he could continue this ideal, yes. An ideal.
"I wouldn't have had this conversation today, but I watched your movies and your remarks, so I decided to talk to you seriously." Jobs was not a populist, but his ideal was to "always do something, invent something, and incorporate it into the treasure trove of human knowledge to give people a beautiful experience", and he wanted to reach the widest audience. Li Jingming's expressed view of Xiàn. Let Jobs see a different young man, when everyone else is thinking about making money and thinking about becoming famous, Li Jingming is thinking about the world, standing at the height of Li Jingming. "I'm sure you're not a populist either, can you tell me what you think of the world?" ”
"The world is just me." Li Jingming smiled. A person who is truly self is like that.
Many people have speculated about Jobs's i at one time or another, because Jobs' idol is the great inventor Heimerdinger. No, Edison, so there are many people who think that this i is inventing, that is, "invented"; Another way of saying this is that this i stands for intelligence, or "intelligence". In Li Jingming's thoughts, it doesn't matter what Jobs's i is, this i should be its truest meaning: I.
The Buddha refers to the heaven and the earth, "Heaven and the world, only I am the only one", but in Li Jingming's view, it is "only I am the only one", and there is only one person in the world who can say no, and "only" is also "only". Everyone's world is based on itself, and if you want to change the world, you must first hand over the key to changing the world to everyone. Jobs's paranoia and pride are very much like the same self of Peach Blossom Island Huang Laoxi, but Li Jingming does not think that their self can be called self, and Sakyamuni's self is self.
"A lot of people in the industry talk about people-oriented, but you are different from them, you don't just say, you do, this iPhone let me see your heart." Jobs nodded, he knew that it was impossible for a person like Li Jingming to really support populism and engage in an absolute collective, but when Li Jingming said "The world is just me", he was still relieved, "Do you have money now?" ”
"Money?" Li Jingming didn't know what money Jobs asked well.
"Five billion dollars, you can take one of my qiē, I don't want to wait until the day I die to let go, I must be ugly like that." After Jobs said this, the whole person seemed to be drained of three points of strength, but there was a look of relief on his face after letting go of the burden.
"Disney's stake is also sold?" Li Jingming couldn't believe it, it would be good to be willing to sell, but it was still cheap? The Jobs in front of him must be pretended by someone else, a guy who has a strong desire to control to the extreme, who will bow down to everything in the company and even get angry with the junior staff, is actually willing to sell his life's work cheaply, if he didn't face to face with Jobs at this time, he wouldn't believe anything.
"Yes, but it's not a sale, it's a trust, but it's still paid." Jobs thought a lot, and thought about it for a long time, if it weren't for Li Jingming, he wouldn't be able to let go, and it would be impossible for those people who were full of money to carry out his ideals, he was sure that as soon as he let go, the apple would immediately change its taste, but Li Jingming is different from everyone, he has a trait that others don't have: super rich.
This is not a joke, it is precisely because Li Jingming's pursuit of money is very weak that he will really focus on other aspects of things, such as leaving a name for a hundred years, which is enough for Jobs, because Li Jingming will at least not ruin the reputation of Apple that he has devoted his life to.
After Li Jingming came out of Jobs's house, the whole person was different, and the enterprising spirit that was entangled in busy affairs and gradually withered returned to him, and Li Shengmin was amazed. In the car, Li Jingming made several phone calls, taking advantage of this incident that he was going to have a big outbreak, and it was not Li Jingming's character to be passively beaten and suffered, and now, the horn of the counterattack can be sounded.
It seems that overnight, people will find that Li Jingming has changed, he was always a little old in the past, he always wanted a safe one, and he did things slowly, although he was mature, he did not look like a young man; But now he suddenly turned into a tiger descending from the mountain, and all kinds of projects were launched together, which was quite aggressive.
"Despicable Me" has been a big hit but has made up for the propaganda offensive, the packaging of snacks, children's toys, Li Jingming has almost made it a part of children's lives; "The Avengers" started off with a high profile, gathering a luxurious "nine golden" group (nine of whom have won Oscars); David. Finch's "The Birth of a Legend", Li Jingming also helped to promote it, and made a cameo appearance in this movie based on him......
Li Jingming's career in the music industry has not been put down, after "The King's Speech" ended the main promotional activities, he immediately prepared for a concert, he released more songs in the North American market than in the Asian market, but there was no large-scale concert.
If Li Jingming's things in the entertainment industry are just a little radical, then his actions outside the entertainment industry are crazy, and he actually spent $100 million to buy a small company that is not well known. In the United States, investment in popular social media is equated with failure, AOL once bought Bebo in 2008, but it cost $800 million to buy it and then sold it at a discount of $100 million just two years later, and coincidentally, News Corp also spent 5. Myspace, which was bought for $800 million, is now priced at $80 million and no one has taken over. So when Li Jingming spent $100 million to buy the newly created Instargram, even Li Xuan felt inexplicable, Li Jingming already owned Facebook.
The people in charge of Hollywood's film giants are all smiling and watching the news. Meyer proudly ran to Spielberg and happily said that his plan had worked, and Li Jingming's family background was not enough for him to toss like this. If the general plot development is followed, the next step should be Li Jingming's poor capital turnover, and he will collapse all of a sudden, waiting for others to carve up the light country, but in just one week, the business predators in North America who are waiting to share the meat will find that they are wrong, and they are very wrong: Li Jingming actually began to contact Disney and discuss accepting the equity into the board of directors.
It is not difficult to guess where Li Jingming's equity came from, a little check will show that he bought these from Jobs, and Disney's equity is not the key, Jobs even gave Li Jingming's equity in Apple. This surprised everyone, I don't know how many people tried to make Jobs's stubborn donkey let go, but Li Jingming easily took all the belongings of others, and only gave five billion US dollars. I knew that Jobs was very sick, but I didn't know that he was so sick that he didn't even know his head, and if they knew that things would be like this, they would definitely do it first.
Apple in 2010 can be described as unlimited, the market value surpassed Microsoft to become the world's largest company, and this rise is not generally good, there is an invincible posture in the world. Now Li Jingming is not only not dragged down by the investment in the entertainment industry, but he still has a lot of money on hand, those who are waiting to see the joke know that this joke is not Li Jingming but themselves, as long as Li Jingming eases up, Guangguo will immediately become a real empire.
