Game Development Giant

Although it is still some years away from the real rise of the country, in this basic service industry, the earlier it is done, the more effective it will be.

Having said that, the current world economy is not very good, many tourist hotspots have not been developed yet, and the prices are not too expensive.

Just the right thing to do on your own.

Jester thought about it again and realized that this could actually be carried out at the same time as his amusement park plan. The theme park he cooperated with Samsung has developed rapidly in the past few years. Although it has always been entrenched in the US market by Disneyland It’s a tight end, but judging from the income in the past few years, there is a gap, but it’s not too big.

Unlike other amusement park operators, they basically cannot survive for a few years.

However, relying on the huge influence of Mars Entertainment, the income is higher year by year.

In the Asian market, the Japanese market is much worse than Disney. Even Disney's income or passenger flow in the Japanese market is much greater than Jester's theme park in the United States.

But in the Korean market, perhaps because of Samsung, it has been very successful. However, the current income in South Korea is not too high, and Disney has not expanded into the Korean market.

The amusement park in Hong Kong is currently under construction and will not be officially put into operation in about two years.

Regarding Jester's expansion plan, the current head of Disney, Michael Eisner, also mocked Jester for this matter. He said that opening an amusement park in Hong Kong, a place where land is so precious, is the biggest mistake—— In fact, before the development of the country, building this amusement park in Hong Kong may have been thankless, but you don’t have to wait too long. After the new millennium, the situation will get better.

At the beginning, Disney also saw that after the competition in China was improving, more and more people traveled to Hong Kong. It was only then that we planned to build an amusement park in Hong Kong. It was not until 2005 that Hong Kong Disneyland was officially put into use.

Jester was basically ten years ahead of schedule.

Jester didn't take Michael Eisner's ridicule seriously. He is currently busy with work and has no time to argue with Eisner about this matter. Moreover, his relationship with Eisner is not good because of Pixar animation work. The relationship between the studio and Disney is very tense.

Jester failed to buy Pixar from Lucas, but Pixar ended up in the hands of Steve Jobs.

The character of Steve Jobs. He has a sharp eye. Like Ken Kutaragi, he is a man whose eyes can see ten years into the future. He knows that 3D animation in the future will definitely make a lot of money, so after he was kicked out by Apple, he bought it from Lucas Pixar Studios, hoping to rely on this studio to re-emerge.

Speaking of this matter. Jester was furious. When Lucas wanted to sell Pixar Studios, both he and Jobs expressed great interest in him. Originally, he was the first to contact Lucas. Moreover, he offered the highest price, but in the end, Lucas sold Pixar to

Jobs.

This is also something that can't be helped. After all, Jobs and Lucas had an unusual relationship.

But fortunately, Jester knew it, in his memory. In the end, Jobs almost couldn't bear the financial pressure put on him by Pixar Animation and sold it after several years of inability to make a profit. Fortunately, the movie "Toy Story" finally sold for a lot of money. Pixar fully proved that they The money spent over the years is meaningful.

But Jester had no intention of bringing Jobs back to life this time.

You know, after Pixar became bigger, Disney spent a huge sum of money to acquire Steve Jobs. How much did it spend? The total shares of Disney are 12%.

This is a very scary number.

You know, Disney is the largest film company in the United States and owns one of the five major television stations.

After Disney acquired Pixar, Jobs' 12% stake made him the largest individual shareholder within Disney at the time.

Jester paid good attention, and the reality did not exceed his expectations. Earlier this year, news came out that Jobs was preparing to sell Pixar Studio. At this time, Pixar Studio was in the process of developing "Toy Story" The final development required a lot of money. Jobs had invested too much in these years and could no longer withdraw.

Therefore, he wanted to find someone to take over.

The price is not expensive, 37 million US dollars. Of course, this price cannot be said to be cheap. You know, when he bought Pixar from Lucas, he may not have spent 10 million US dollars, because Jester was The offer to Lucas was eleven million dollars.

Jobs was also delighted when he learned that Jester wanted to buy Pixar Studios.

He is indeed optimistic about the future of 3D animated movies, and it is true that Pixar is very promising. But the problem is that he bought Pixar from his friend Lucas in 1986 and invested almost 20 million US dollars. So far, they still haven't made a penny. Although their first movie is about to be released, the problem lies here. What if the movie doesn't live up to expectations?

Why don’t current audiences accept 3D animation?

How many years do you have to wait to get yourself?

I have already invested 30 million US dollars, and almost half of the money I earned from Apple has been invested in it. If it fails this time, it will be more difficult for me to sell it. Although it is not impossible to sell it, I still want to It's unrealistic to sell it at such a high price, but "Toy Story" hasn't been released yet.

Whether this movie will be a success or a failure, no one can say.

So, someone must be interested - indeed, someone is interested, such as Jester, such as Disney.

Disney was also the one who first contacted Jobs. They had a cooperative relationship with Pixar Animation, and "Toy Story" was a collaboration with them. As a giant in animated films, they also valued 3D animation very much, but the price Jobs offered was too high. At a price of US$37 million, close to 40 million US dollars, the fourth considered it to be a lack of sincerity.

Mike Eisner is only willing to pay up to US$30 million. Moreover, the US$30 million is not a lump sum payment. The decision still needs to be based on the box office of "Toy Story".

Of course, Jobs was dismissive of the price.

He even felt that Disney's price was an insult to him. At this time, Jester contacted Jobs. (To be continued...)
