29 November 1995.

    Today is undoubtedly a brilliant day for Pixar Animation Studio, because it is on the market today.

    In the trading hall of NASDAQ.

    "Toy story is the most significant progress in the field of animation since Disney made the world''s first animated feature film Snow White 60 years ago. Pixar did all this. Disney is just a distributor."

    In order to shape and promote Pixar''s image as a new generation of animation film company, Steve Jobs, the boss of Pixar, spared no effort to fight with many reporters.

    "Mr. jobs, do you mean that the success of toy story is entirely due to you and your team?" A reporter asked.

    Jobs looked at the reporter with disdain, as if to say so.

    "Of course!"

    Jobs affirmed.

    Well, that''s what he is. If someone else had changed his mind, he would not have said that. He had to take into account Disney''s face.

    But he didn''t.

    What is Disney''s face? Now is to step on it, or how the stock price soared to the highest!

    Strong, overbearing, paranoid, acrimonious, never admit their mistakes, this is the answer of many people.

    Of course, it''s not the right answer.

    Behind the tough and bullying people who never admit their mistakes and never bow their heads, jobs also has his sense of current affairs and his time to swallow his words. For example, when Pixar was down, he signed a series of unequal treaties with Disney, which won time for Pixar''s survival. Including with Bill Gates, he has made many compromises, cooperation and, of course, wars.

    This kind of advance and retreat is not just an example in jobs'' business career.

    "Jobs is still familiar with the original taste ah!"

    "Arrogance

    "It''s right that he is strong. Who makes others succeed?"

    "Damned rich man, I hope he''s still in trouble!"

    ........

    In the face of jobs''s blatant remarks, people around him, whether they are Hollywood insiders or stock investors, are slightly upset.

    "It''s really awesome. I dare to say this face to face. Disney people think it''s embarrassing."

    Although he said that, he was still yearning for it in his heart. He hoped that one day he would have the strength to show such a tough side.

    The truth is just as juke expected.

    Michael Eisner, the chairman of Disney, almost didn''t lift the desk in his office!

    Soon, the stock market opened.

    Pixar Animation Studio, because of the explosion of "Toy Story", has been sought after by many investment institutions and shareholders, even if they are slightly unhappy.

    Who''s going to have a problem with money?

    Anyway, Zhuke didn''t. he contacted an investment company in advance and threw in six million dollars, almost all of Zhuke''s wealth.

    Pixar Animation awesome, and Jobs, "this is Lao Tzu''s money!" Zucker prayed frantically.

    This time, Zucker did not use ten times the leverage.

    Because Zhuke doesn''t know whether Pixar''s earnings on the opening day are up or down. Even if it is known that it is rising, but once the leverage is used, it will be reaped by Wall Street makers. Anyway, Zhuke only knows that the market value of Pixar has soared to $1 billion in a month.

    .......

    That night.

    Zhuke was slightly upset and gritted his teeth.

    "Damn the garbage system, can''t you provide detailed description and information of Pixar after its launch? How much less do you want me to earn? "

    That''s right. Zucker is still making money today, but he''s still not happy.

    Pixar Animation''s stock price rose more than $45 in the first half hour of trading at $22, then continued to rise to $49, and closed at $39 on the same day.

    Zhuke''s investment of $6 million on the same day increased by 1.7 times, and its equity plus income exceeded $10 million.

    Yes, Zhuke made a lot of money, but if he settled at the highest $49 on that day, the income would be higher, which is also the reason why Zhuke was unhappy.

    True. Zucker. Greedy. Greedy. Wald!

    "Cough..."

    At this time, the former ace negotiator, condi, walked into Zhuke''s home and looked at Zhuke''s gnashing teeth. He couldn''t help feeling sour.

    "Well, you vampire, you''ve earned enough. Don''t be unkind." Connie said slowly.

    It''s not for no reason that condi came in tonight.

    "Man, all the information you need for investigation is in here. You can see for yourself."

    After that, without waiting for Zhuke to speak, condi got up and left. Sometimes he was such a hot guy, because he had an appointment with a beautiful girl tonight.

    "It''s a real personality," he said. It would be better if the charge were a little lower. "

    These days, Zhuke is busy, so he entrusts Kangdi to contact an investigation company to help him investigate some situations.

    There are two copies of the information on the table.

    [Hughes pictures]

    [profile of Stephen hellenberg]

    ........

    Zhuke first opened the information of Hughes pictures.

    Hughes pictures is a small Hollywood company located in the Burbank area of Los Angeles. It integrates production and distribution. Founded in 1985, it employs 49 people.

    This is the investigation company contacted by condi. After a month of investigation and screening, it is the Hollywood company that most meets the requirements of Zhuke.

    Although Hughes pictures mainly focuses on offline video film production, with only two films released in theaters, and the total box office is less than 600000 US dollars, it still has a complete distribution channel in Los Angeles, including the whole state of California.

    Company valuation: US $2 million.

    Estimated purchase price: US $2.5 million to US $3 million.

    "Hiss... It''s pretty good. It seems that if it wasn''t for the boss of Hughes pictures, he would not have sold it if his investment failed in the near future and needed funds to be recovered."

    Zucker is half a person in the entertainment circle. He knows a lot about Hollywood and its development.

    Although Hollywood companies such as Hughes pictures belong to the bottom class in Hollywood and have no sense of existence, few companies have their own distribution network. At least, with the passage of time, such companies are becoming more and more valuable.

    In 2016, Wanda Group of Lao Wang''s family spent more than $3 billion to buy a second rate legendary film company in Hollywood.

    "If I buy Hughes pictures, even if I lose money every year, I can sell it for at least 200 million dollars in 20 years." Zucker made up his mind to buy it.

    .......

    The second survey data is the personal data of Stephen hellenberg.

    When it comes to Steven hellenberg, it may be strange to many people, but when it comes to SpongeBob, it is estimated that it has a great influence in the world.

    Yes, Stephen hellenberg will be called "father of SpongeBob" in the future.

    At first, he was not a member of the entertainment industry, but a scientist studying marine life and a teacher of marine biology at the Oran Institute of Oceanography. His original intention of creating little sponge was just to draw a comic book about marine life for the children who visited the Institute.

    But who would have thought that SpongeBob was such a success?

    Since 1999, it has been broadcast on Nickelodeon children''s channel in the United States, and is widely welcomed by children all over the world. The work has won two Emmy Awards, 12 children''s vote awards and two movies. As of January 2020, its peripheral products have generated more than 13 billion US dollars for Nickelodeon channel.

    13 billion dollars in peripheral revenue?

    "Even if the cost and channel expenses are eliminated, SpongeBob''s profit is considerable!" Zucker couldn''t help sighing.

    Obviously, because of the information given by the system, Zhuke has no doubt dug a gold mine!

    The new week has begun. I''d like to ask for a recommendation. The minister needs everyone''s support. Thank you!
