"I'm ashamed to say that, in fact, I have done some research on Mr. Lin before, you have established Dream less than three years ago, but the company's capital has swelled more than ten times, and your unique venture capital philosophy has also inspired me a lot. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoI think your talent in investing is no less than your performance in movies, which is an important reason why I am optimistic about you! Son's words are not entirely complimentary, Lin Mu has indeed done some research, except for the initial 200 million US dollars in the start-up capital is a little unclear, Lin Mu in the dream of all the investment arrangements he investigated clearly. As the investigation deepened, his feelings about Lin Mu changed from curiosity at the beginning to shock at the end, until he finally came up with the idea of cooperation, and Lin Mu was amazed by every investment. He didn't even know why Lin Mu could make such a bold investment in a company with only one basic framework, and so far he had never missed a beat, which surprised and frightened him, and he once said to his assistant, "It's better for someone like Lin Mu to always be his partner!" It was this idea that made him determined to tie the future of SoftBank to Lin Mu.

Lin Mu knew that a person like Sun Zhengyi would definitely not fight an uncertain battle, and he investigated himself, and Lin Mu was not surprised. In fact, Lin Mu did not think about investing in Asia, but he thought that it was not time yet, because he knew that the financial crisis in three years would hit the Asian economy hard, and after the financial crisis was actually the best time to invest in Asia; Secondly, he did not include Japan in his investment plan at first, and he had always considered Hong Kong and Taiwan. But Son's arrival reminded him that in Asia, in addition to the future of China, Japan and South Korea are also economies that cannot be ignored. Moreover, Japan still has a first-mover advantage, and investing in Japan first is not a new development idea.

Seeing that Lin Mu was silent, Sun Zhengyi knew that he had preliminarily moved Lin Mu, but it only made Lin Mu have such an idea slightly. If Lin Mu was the kind of person who was easily persuaded by himself, Son would look down on him. In fact, Dream only needs to invest $500 million in the early stage, and Mr. Lin can obtain more than 25% of SoftBank's shares, while SoftBank only needs to hold less than 5% of Dream's shares, so cross-shareholding is actually more beneficial to Dream. Only by cooperating with our SoftBank can Dream get such an advantage! Son threw out an even more tempting condition. On the books, SoftBank is undoubtedly suffering a big loss by doing this now, but Son Masayoshi also knows that he can't bear the truth that the child can't trap the wolf, and he is betting on the future development of the dream, even if he only holds 5% of the equity, it will be an astronomical amount in the future!

Lin Mu is also considering it now, and Sun Zhengyi's offer of such conditions can be said to be full of sincerity. But Lin Mu also knew that he was so afraid that it was not just as simple as sincerity, and Dream's 5% stake may not be anything now, but the future is not easy to say. According to the current momentum of DREAM, it is not an unattainable dream to become one of the world's top investment companies in the future. Son's 25% exchange for SoftBank will be a huge gain in the future. I have to admit that Sun Zhengyi's vision is unique, and he has a very desperate and heroic spirit, which is exactly the business quality that Lin Mu admires very much.

In fact, Masayoshi Son came to Lin Mu today to talk about two things, one is to form Yahoo Japan, and the other is to make a joint venture with Dream. But Lin Mu didn't immediately agree to him for these two things, because the first thing Lin Mu had to discuss with Yang Zhiyuan and others before he could give Sun Zhengyi an answer, and the second thing, Lin Mu actually hadn't made up his mind yet, after all, although the result of such cooperation was a win-win situation, it was hard to say who would be able to profit more in the end, and Lin Mu still needed to weigh it carefully.

The negotiation with Yang Zhiyuan did not take too much effort, Lin Mu knew that Son Masayoshi must have persuaded Yahoo before, but Yang Zhiyuan proposed that the Japanese Yahoo Dream company established this time must be indirectly invested through Yahoo, that is to say, Japan Yahoo is a cooperation between Yahoo and SoftBank. Yang Zhiyuan's intention is very clear, according to Lin Mu's previous contract with them, although Dream now holds more than 70% of Yahoo's large equity, after Yahoo goes public, at the right time and at a price acceptable to both parties, Dream must transfer Yahoo's equity in full. He hopes that the future of Yahoo will be completely in his own hands, and he is worried that Dream will exercise disguised control over Yahoo by controlling Yahoo's overseas branches, which is unacceptable to Yang.

Yang Zhiyuan's thoughts and intentions can naturally be seen by Lin Mu, and Son Masayoshi obviously did not tell him about SoftBank's cooperation with Dream. But Lin Mu did not intend to hide this matter, he told Yang Zhiyuan that Dream would join forces with Japan's SoftBank, which made Yang Zhiyuan suddenly lose his mind, he knew that Yahoo was not qualified to bargain with Lin Mu now, Yahoo was developing, Dream was also developing, Yang Zhiyuan knew that Lin Mu was not only invested by Yahoo such a company, maybe even if Yahoo developed and grew in the future, it may not be able to compete with Dream.

Just when Yang Zhiyuan felt in a dilemma, Lin Mu took the initiative to find him, and the two had a more in-depth exchange.

"Yahoo is impatient to get out of Dream's control, but it can't do without Dream's financial support, so now you feel very embarrassed!" Lin Mu said such a sentence as soon as he came up, which made Yang Zhiyuan suddenly feel a little ashamed.

", Actually, I ......" Yang Zhiyuan was interrupted by Lin Mu before he finished speaking, "Jerry, it's not wrong for you to think so, no one wants their hard-earned career to end up sharing it with others, so it's not surprising that you have such thoughts." I've decided to work with SoftBank, but you can rest assured that Dream will always be positioned as a venture capitalist, we won't hold Yahoo stock forever, and at the most appropriate time, our temporary partnership will be terminated, so my previous commitment to you will not change, and I will not exercise control over Yahoo in other ways, so your worries about this are unfounded. I can even tell you that Dream didn't choose to work with Japan's SoftBank because of Yahoo! But as a friend, I think it is necessary to remind you that Yahoo will develop rapidly, but the future market is also unpredictable, if Yahoo will always fight alone, the network can achieve a Yahoo in such a short period of time, and can also create an opponent that surpasses Yahoo in a shorter time! Yang's lack of cooperation was exposed at this time, which is an important reason for Yahoo's decline in the 21st century.

When Lin Mu and Yang Zhiyuan said this, they were actually very conflicted in their hearts, on the one hand, he really hoped that Yahoo's future development would be better, so he reminded Yang Zhiyuan that Yahoo did develop very well in the 90s, but it also made a lot of mistakes during the period, otherwise it was later surpassed by Google, which was established for a shorter time, so that later Microsoft wanted to acquire Yahoo, and the negotiations with Yang Zhiyuan have not been fruitful. Yang Zhiyuan regards himself as the chief of Yahoo, a title that itself dooms him to be difficult to let go of Yahoo, which also limits Yahoo's development. Lin Mu just felt that it was a pity that Yang Zhiyuan, as a banner of the Chinese in the United States, had fallen.

But at the same time, as an investor, Lin Mu actually didn't want to tell Yang Zhiyuan this, he didn't plan to hold Yahoo shares for a long time, and without the decline of Yahoo, how could there be the rise of Google later. In the future, Google is also a key investment target for wood, and mentioning Yahoo is tantamount to setting up obstacles for its future investment. Yahoo's early development was too fast, and while the Internet created the myth of Yang Zhiyuan's wealth, it was not able to create the ability to match his wealth, which is the biggest growth of Internet wealth. Spielberg read the message, which was only a few words, but he didn't say a word.

"Stephen, what did the message say?" Carl sensed that something was wrong with Spielberg's expression.

"Kavin, get all the crew to evacuate the Krakow concentration camp, we have to re-set up the filming of this film!" Spielberg made a very strange decision.

"Evacuate all, why is that?" Kavin looked at Spielberg puzzled, the crew finally got the consent of the Polish authorities to let them enter the Krakow concentration camp, and Spielberg actually made all the previous efforts of the crew nullify because of a telegram, so he needed a reason that could convince him.

Spielberg handed the open message to the assistant director, who was also Jewish, "I don't want to disturb the Jewish ghosts here!" ”

After reading the message, Carvin did not say a word, and acquiesced to Spielberg's statement. He immediately ordered the entire film crew to evacuate the Krakow concentration camp and move to a camp dozens of kilometers away.

Spielberg, meanwhile, left the film crew alone and flew directly to New York. Spielberg crossed the Atlantic without sending a representative and without resorting to the telephone, telegraph, telex, and other rapid and convenient modern means of communication, and went to New York in person to apologize to the "Jewish Association." His humility and sincerity moved all members of the "Jewish Association."

Due to the additional cost of resetting the set, Spielberg also rushed to Los Angeles to explain the matter to Lin Mu himself. He knew that in order to shoot this expensive commercial film, Lin Mu had already borne a lot of pressure from the top management of Universal and Paramount.

But Lin Mu showed a lot of understanding at this time, and he immediately allocated an additional $5 million to Spielberg for the filming cost, and he also personally went to Poland with Spielberg to conduct field investigations. But because of his work, he couldn't stay on the crew all the time. As the screenwriter of the film, Lin Mu knew that whether it was for the actors or the director, the next shooting would be extremely difficult, because the topic of the film itself would be very depressing and heavy.

After Lin Mu left, Spielberg took his family to Poland in order to facilitate work, but after 14 hours of intense filming work every day, his relatives could not free him from his thoughts during the day. During the filming of the film, Spielberg was forced to stop filming more than once because he could not control his feelings. When he commands the extras with gestures, the healthy to the right and the sick to the left, he feels like a Nazi; When he commanded the shaved women's hair, stripped them of their clothes and pants, and drove them around like cattle, he felt that his heart was about to break, but this was the movie, reflecting the cruelty of the reality of the time, Spielberg had no choice, in order to let more people see the bloody scene of that year, he had to persevere. For weeks, instead of shaking hands with the German actors in the cast or greeting the actors in Nazi uniforms, he thought he was really living in a Nazi concentration camp.

Spielberg's family told him the news to Lin Mu in the United States, and Lin Mu was shocked by Spielberg's devotion to the film, and he wanted to write the script because Kuhler dragged him to a historical exhibit about the murder of Jews in World War II. Even when he was writing the script, he only saw himself as a spectator. He didn't expect Spielberg's feelings for Jews to be so deep, and although he wanted to comfort his good friend, he found that he couldn't find any reason to comfort Spielberg. Perhaps only the state of Spielberg can create a work that can shock people's hearts!

Lin Mu went to Europe at the end of July, his first stop was of course Poland, and he was accompanied by John Williams, if "Schindler's List", Spielberg's masterpiece, could not but impress his artistic creativity, then the music of this film has undoubtedly become a classic in the treasure trove of world film music, and John Williams is the arranger of the soundtrack of this film, Lin Mu took a lot of effort to convince the musician to join the film.

John Williams also invited the Boston Pops Orchestra, where he has been conducting for many years, to be accompanied by violinist Izzy Perlman and recorder Gilora Federman, whose performances are gentle and delicate, mournful but not sad, not an indictment of human tragedy, but a contemplation of historical errors, full of reflection and remembrance.
