Jobs thought something strange.

Xuluo sent him an invitation to dinner, but he was not very familiar with this genius in the film and television industry at all.

The two said a few words, but that was the relationship between them, and Jobs couldn't remember what he said at the time.

Jobs is not a person who wastes his energy casually, irrelevant people, he doesn't bother to memorize or bother with it.

Over the years, all of Jobs's thoughts have been focused on how to do a good job in his two companies, and then take a good look at the color of the apples.

In addition to spending $10 million to buy Pixar Animation Studios from George Lucas, Jobs also started a computer workstation company of his own.

On weekdays, Jobs spent less time at Pixar Animation Studios, and more of his energy was spent at his computer workstation company.

He is worthy of being a genius in the field of computers, and in the past few years, the computer workstation has made a lot of achievements and is known as another outstanding product.

Of course, it's far from Apple.

Just as a man can never forget his first love, a man can never forget his first career.

Apple will always be Jobs' favorite.

It's just that now Apple is getting worse and worse, which also makes Jobs feel happy and very melancholy.

But even if all the board members voted against him and removed him as CEO, he felt that it was all someone else's fault.

I have to say that this middle-aged man is very stubborn.

Back in front of him, Jobs thought about it for a long time, but decided to go to the appointment.

Because Xuluo is very famous in the country of Mi and is recognized as a genius, Jobs looks down on ordinary people, but he can definitely be regarded as a genius.

Since everyone is a genius, then have a meal and talk about things, maybe you can gain something.

Jobs was right, he had something to gain, but this kind of gain was something he never thought of.

"What!?"

There was a table of delicacies, and Jobs didn't have time to look at it, but he was surprised to pick up a series of documents in front of him to read.

After getting on the table, Xuluo didn't talk nonsense to him, but told Jobs bluntly that I bought a 30% stake in Apple.

Jobs was inexplicable, but he couldn't stop the surprise and curiosity in his heart, so of course he had to confirm it.

After repeated confirmation and comparison, Jobs finally confirmed this fact.

That is, Xuluo is already the largest shareholder of Apple.

After Apple went public, Jobs, the entrepreneur, was not the largest shareholder, and then in order to protest the board of directors firing him as CEO, Mr. Jobs, the chairman at the time, immediately announced his resignation as chairman, and sold almost all of Apple's shares, leaving only 100 shares to receive the company's information and annual report.

Apple is a listed company, so naturally there is a report on the distribution of shares.

At present, only two of Apple's top 10 shareholders are natural persons, and the rest are either fund companies or investment institutions.

But these top 10 shareholders together account for less than 30%.

In recent years, Apple has been losing money year after year, and many institutional investors have greatly reduced their shares, so that there are a lot of outstanding shares on the stock market.

Unexpectedly, Xuluo was also a ruthless person, and he actually directly acquired 30% of the shares in the market.

Jobs put down the document in his hand and looked at Xuluo: "Mr. Xu, what do you mean by showing me this?" What do you want to do?"

"I wanted to ask, Mr. Jobs, are you interested in returning to Apple and saving this great company and putting it back on track?"

Although in Xuluo's mind, Apple is a backward company, and it can't even compare with the development of computers in the future.

But now he's holding a stake in Apple Inc. in the eyes of Steve Jobs,

Naturally, Apple is to be praised as a flower.

Jobs didn't expect Xuluo to ask, and he was puzzled, "You want to control the Apple and let me work for you?"

Obviously, Xuluo's Apple stock was definitely not given to Jobs.

Jobs believed that his greatest use was to manage the company he founded.

But if Xuluo really thinks so, then I'm afraid he will be disappointed.

Jobs didn't work for anyone else.

Unexpectedly, Xuluo shook his head directly: "I mean, I lend you these 30% shares, and you can take them and go to the board meeting again, so as to become the CEO of Apple again, and turn everything back on track!"

Jobs: "!?"

He didn't understand, "What's in it for you? You're just helping me for nothing?"

Xuluo replied, "Of course it wasn't given to you for free, I hope you can sell me your Pixar animation studio."

Jobs was even more surprised, this young man is not insane, right? You've done all this for an animation studio?

But all of a sudden, Jobs's heart suddenly moved.

He remembered what Xuluo's main business was, and what Xuluo relied on to become famous.

Bubu Stitching Monster is already a medium-sized film and television company in today's film and television industry, and with "Jurassic Park", it is not a problem for it to rank in the top 20 in the United States!

Could it be that Xuluo is really for Pixar Animation Studios?

He wants to increase his career and add another animation company?

Thinking of this, Jobs immediately began to calculate.

After a while, Jobs coughed lightly, picked up the knife and fork first, and ate slowly, before he said, "Mr. Xu, our business is business, one yard to one yard. Let's not talk about Apple, Pixar Animation Studios, how much are you going to spend on it?"

Xuluo asked him, "How much do you want to sell?"

Jobs laughed when he heard this, this young man is really difficult to deal with.

But it doesn't matter.

For the sake of the 30% Apple stake on the table, Jobs was still very interested in talking to Xuluo.

The return to Apple is too attractive to him.

"I bought Pixar Animation Studios and spent $10 million, but I'm lucky that it's grown very well over the years." Jobs said slowly, "I think it should deserve a high price."

After saying a few words, he didn't tell half the truth.

Xu Luo was not in a hurry, "I asked someone to estimate that the valuation given by those investment banks should be between 500 million and 700 million US dollars!" If Mr. Jobs, if you think it's appropriate, how about we close the deal for $700 million?"

Jobs was slightly stunned in his heart, "You opened 700 million in one breath, aren't you worried about me sitting on the ground and starting the price?"

"A commodity has its proper price, and no one will raise or depreciate its price so unrealistically." Xuluo said in a harmonious voice, "What I am offering is a reasonable price, and it also represents my sincerity."

Jobs nodded, "$700 million is not low, and it is very reasonable to sell Pixar Animation Studios alone." I have made dozens of times more money in a few years, and this business is really worth it."

Unlike Apple, which he created by himself, Pixar Animation Studio, a halfway monk, naturally has a significant drop in Jobs's priority.

"However, when I left Apple, I swore that I would only consider it if they begged me to come back." Jobs said, "Now you're asking me to go back with 30 percent of Apple, and I don't think it's good enough."

"That's easy!"

Xuluo had already planned, "As a major shareholder, I will ask for a board meeting, and at the same time as removing the CEO, I will also ask the board of directors to invite you back...... Mr. Jobs, you can say no twice, and then reluctantly agree the third time

What is it?"

Hey?

This young man has a great idea!

Jobs' eyes lit up instead.

He ran away from Apple, gambling on one breath.

Now to return to Apple, it also needs to be breathed in this way.

Apple officials repeatedly asked him to go back, and he refused again and again, didn't this just make him breathe a sigh of relief?

This is not only the benefit of exporting bad spirits, but also the various prestige created by it, as well as the feeling of great anticipation, isn't it just conducive to Jobs's strong comeback and make Apple people more obedient?

"Your 30% stake guarantees that you will always support me?" Jobs asked with a deep groan.

"Well, we can sign a contract." "As long as you're at Apple for a day, then its voting rights are all yours!" I will be your staunchest supporter too!"

"You take more than $2 billion worth of shares and trade them for the opportunity to buy an animation production company...... Is it worth it?" Jobs couldn't help but ask, "If I fail to do a good job of Apple and let your more than $2 billion be lost, wouldn't you lose a lot?"

"On the one hand, it's definitely because I like Pixar Animation Studios." He replied, "On the other hand, I believe in your genius, Mr. Jobs! I believe that as long as you return to Apple, you will be able to turn things around and make my investment profitable!"

Naturally, he wouldn't say, even if it's my $2.2 billion Apple shares, no matter how much you lose, it's impossible to lose only tens of millions, right?

Relatively speaking, the benefits that Pixar Animation Studio will bring to me in the future are definitely more than 2.2 billion, maybe three or five 2.2 billion US dollars can be earned.

No, not exactly!

With "Toy Story" and "Oceans" alone, two animated films that can be made into a series, it is enough to make a lot of money.

Pixar Animation Studio, which can make such two animated films, will it lack creativity in the future?

Impossible!

So what Xuluo got in his hand was a cornucopia.

A company like Apple that is about to go bankrupt should be abandoned when it is time to abandon it.

Don't let a small be a big one.
