I want to make a game

Liu Zhiyuan listened to one tape after another, except for Jiang Jiahao and Li Yingai, wow, she couldn't sing the same feeling as Li Zhenxian in this song.

Another tape was put on, and as soon as the intro played, Liu Zhiyuan immediately concentrated on it, because this song could even determine the sales of dance machines.

"Ay,iyaiyai"

"Ay,iyaiyai"

Butterfly, originally sung by the Swedish Smiling Sisters, is the king of on-demand dance machines. This song is known as the most popular dance machine song in history.

This time, Maria, Kelly and Faye Wong sang together. Liu Zhiyuan listened to it several times before switching to the next song. The whole afternoon passed by listening to the song.

Liu Zhiyuan returned to the office and handed the newly written songs to Jiang Jiahao. In order to cater for different hobby groups, he wrote several slow dance songs this time, just One Last Dance, Lonely.

"Hurry up and take your time. You should start recording officially in May at the most."

As soon as Jiang Jiahao left, Li Huagui came over and told him that Jobs had an appointment with him to meet at Pixar in the United States in two days.

Jerry Liu began to recall the past between Jobs and Pixar to see if there were any missed opportunities.

Two days later, Pixar USA.

"Hello, Mr. Jobs."

Today's Steve Jobs is not as bald as later generations, and he doesn't wear glasses.

"Hello, Mr. Liu."

After a brief exchange of greetings, the two came to the office.

"This is Ed Catmull, who is now mainly responsible for Pixar's computer animation production; this is John Lasseter, and most of Pixar's creativity comes from him."

As soon as he entered the office, Jobs introduced the two most important figures in Pixar. One of them is the founder of Pixar and has won many computer graphics production awards.

One is the brain and creative source of Pixar. Without him, Pixar would not be able to achieve its status in the future.

Liu Zhiyuan shook hands with the two of them.

"It's great to meet you two."

After a conversation, Jobs said:

"I want to know Mr. Liu's intention of acquiring Pixar. As far as I know, Mr. Liu's company's main business direction should be game development, which has nothing to do with animation production."

Liu Zhiyuan smiled inwardly, it’s irrelevant? Which game company in the future does not have its own animation special effects department.

"Making games doesn't mean I can't do animation, right? Mr. Jobs."

Liu Zhiyuan changed his sitting position.

"Actually, I currently have an animation related to games, and Pixar is my better company."

Ed Catmull has received advance notice of the acquisition from Jobs. Pixar is now completely supported by Jobs's previous funds. It is not going to be in dire straits, but it is indeed unable to make ends meet.

"Mr. Liu, if Pixar is acquired by the Han Dynasty, I would like to know your arrangements for Pixar."

Jobs told him that if the price was right, he would sell Pixar. Then he needed to consider Pixar's future himself. If the Han Dynasty's arrangements for Pixar's future were not in line with his ideas, he would not agree to the acquisition.

Liu Zhiyuan thought for a few seconds.

"Pixar has been developing in the United States in recent years and will not move to Xiangjiang. As long as you can complete the tasks assigned by the company, I will not interfere with your daily work."

Liu Zhiyuan came here because of Pixar's 3D rendering technology. He will not use Pixar too much. When Pixar's technology matures, he can send a group of people to learn from it. This group of talents is the future.

Ed Catmull and John Lasseter looked at each other.

"Mr. Liu, Pixar may not be able to make ends meet in the next few years and will spend a lot of money. Can you accept this?"

When Jobs heard this, he frowned and quickly turned back to a smile.

Before Liu Zhiyuan came, he had spent a lot of money to thoroughly investigate Pixar and Steve Jobs. He originally thought that acquiring Pixar would be very troublesome.

But when he saw the survey results, he smiled. Today's Pixar is far from the Pixar that produced Toy Story in history. Their biggest achievement now is that an animated short film won an Oscar nomination for Best Short Film.

It's a nomination award, not an award. Even if it wins, it doesn't matter. It won't improve Pixar's current situation. No one knows as much as Liu Zhiyuan how expensive the research and development of computer software technology is.

Throw in hundreds of millions, billions, and it's too much to even hear a single sound, but Pixar succeeded, or in other words, Ed Catmull succeeded.

Liu Zhiyuan made a pensive expression and said something after a long time.

"Approximately how much capital?"

"About fifty million dollars."

Seeing Liu Zhiyuan frown suddenly, Ed Catmull said quickly.

"Mr. Liu, if this technology is successfully researched, it will be a milestone in the film industry, and Pixar will instantly become a hot company."

Liu Zhiyuan smiled and said something cold.

"What a good prospect, why does Mr. Jobs want to sell Pixar?"

Technicians should study technology carefully, and leave business negotiations to professionals, such as Steve Jobs, who is sitting over there and not talking.

"Okay, let's stop this topic. Liu, what can I call you?"

Jobs spoke. The purpose of his silence for a long time was to warn Ed, Catmull and others to just study your technology and not to interfere in the specific development of the company.

If Liu Zhiyuan knew what Jobs was thinking, he would not be surprised at all. Jobs is far from being as kind as he appears in historical photos. He is also a tyrant-like figure.

NEXT and Pixar are two companies that Steve Jobs acquired after leaving Apple. Ask the top executives of these two companies who have not been scolded by him.

There is another important person at Pixar, Elway, Ray, and Smith. He is the core of Pixar's rendering technology.

This great man who was later inducted into the CRN Hall of Fame and was revered as "Jiang Baiguang" was kicked out of Pixar because of disagreements with Steve Jobs. This person will never be found in the history of Pixar in the future.

Think about what Jobs did after returning to Apple. He is a tyrant in another industry. There is actually no difference between him and Hiroshi Yamauchi.

Liu Zhiyuan nodded.

"Of course, Steve Jobs?"

Jobs smiled.

"Call me Steve."

After saying that, Jobs dropped his smile slightly and said to Ed and Catmull.

"You two, go and do your work."

He did not hide his strength at Pixar in front of Liu Zhiyuan.

No matter how slow their reaction was, Ed and Catmull knew they had done something stupid. They revealed Pixar's old secrets and showed it to Liu Zhiyuan.

Of course, they could have found out without exposing Liu Zhiyuan that Jobs's interpersonal relationships in the United States were not good, especially at Apple. They couldn't help Jobs disappearing like this.

In fact, most of the information on Pixar and Jobs was provided by Apple, and the price was only 10,000 US dollars. The additional information obtained for tens of thousands of dollars was not even more than 10,000 US dollars.
