Rebirth of the Super Landlord

"30%" Su Zhen said.

"What?" Jobs was a little confused.

"Cross-holding, I exchanged 30% of MGM's shares for 50% of Pixar's shares," Su Zhen said.

"Oh, Su, you have to know that Pixar's current market value has exceeded 7 billion US dollars, and the price you paid for MGM was only 6 billion..." Before Jobs could finish, he was interrupted by Su Zhen.

"Okay, Steve, we all know how unreliable this algorithm is, how about 31%?" Su Zhen said with a smile and shook his head. It was indeed as Jobs said. On the surface, Pixar's price is higher than rice.

If you want to have a high GOME, it doesn't matter if you don't pay the debt. You have to know that Pixar is a listed company, and a company's market value and actual value are two different things. If you want to turn the market value into cash,

, that would shrink a lot, and although MGM is one of the eight major film companies, it is rare that it is not a listed company. When Su Zhen acquired MGM, he spent a lot of green cash, so in terms of actual value, MGM

It is far higher than Pixar, and the reason why Jobs said that was just for bargaining, but it also means that this deal has a chance.

"No, no, no, Su, you have to know that Pixar is the best 3D animation special effects company in Hollywood. Its potential value is far more than that. How about 40%?" Jobs countered with a smile. In fact, he treated Apple and

Pixar is completely different. Apple is like his child to him, and Pixar Studio is just a tool for him to make money, so as long as the price is right, he doesn't mind selling Pixar at all.

"You are too greedy, Steve, 32%" Su Zhen rolled his eyes and said.

"39" "33" "38" "34".

The two of them negotiated the price point by point, just like buying vegetables at the wet market.

"OK, 35%. If that doesn't work, I can only consider acquiring DreamWorks or Blue Sky Studio," Su Zhen said helplessly in the end. In terms of bargaining, Su Zhen was still far behind an old slicker like Steve Jobs.

Although Blue Sky Studio and DreamWorks Animation are also good choices, Su Zhen feels that if you want to buy one, buy the best one. In terms of 3D animation special effects technology, Pixar is undoubtedly the best.

Jobs nodded. He also knew that this price was almost Su Zhen's bottom line, so he would accept it as soon as it was good.

So the two reached an agreement to exchange 35% of MGM's equity for 50% of Pixar's equity. Of course, all 50% of Pixar's equity will definitely not be owned by Jobs. After all, all the equity in Jobs's hands is only 50%. This share is

It will be shared by all shareholders, and MGM's shares will naturally be distributed to those Pixar shareholders in proportion, so all the benefits will be shared.

"After talking about business, we should have some music to celebrate, right?" Under Su Zhen's puzzled eyes, Jobs smiled and walked to the back wall of the office, then took the remote control he took out from nowhere and pressed it.

, the entire wall moved to both sides, revealing a set of extremely ancient and luxurious audio equipment behind the wall, but what surprised Su Zhen was not this set of audio equipment.

Equipment, after all, although this kind of old-fashioned audio equipment is rare, it cannot be said to be precious. You can buy it for 18,000 yuan. What really surprised Su Zhen was the rack behind the audio equipment - the rack was full of records, and these records could

It is not the current CD and DVD, but the ancestor of records - LP, which is the vinyl record that most people in China have only seen through TV and movies.

"This is really crazy." Su Zhen said dumbfoundedly as he looked at the shelf full of vinyl records. Even a person like him who didn't pay much attention to music knew that there were so many vinyl records that he wanted to collect.

The effort required is quite a lot.

"To listen to music, you have to listen to vinyl records." Jobs smiled and took out a record and gently put it down on the record player. Soon, melodious music began to float in the office.

Vinyl records - to be precise, they should be Bakelite records, because they also come in other colors, but most of them are black, so they are called vinyl records. Vinyl records can be said to be the most convincing history of human audio and music.

The music signal source, which dominated the music signal source throughout the 20th century,

It was not until the emergence of the CD player in 1984 that it withdrew from the mainstream stage. Nowadays, it can only be seen in many DJs. However, even though it is no longer mainstream, in the minds of many audiophiles and music lovers, black music

Vinyl records are still the perfect way to play music.

The reason is very simple, because the ethereal and live feeling brought by the music played by vinyl records cannot be replaced by CDs and digital players. Generally speaking, true music lovers will listen to the music played by vinyl records.

I feel that the sharp and rough digital sound of CD records and digital players is simply unbearable... Even a music idiot like Su Zhen can tell that the sound of vinyl records is indeed much better. It is precisely because of this that in many important

Audio materials are stored on it, and basically all countries still use vinyl records.

However, Su Zhen would not go into this just because it sounds good. In fact, Su Zhen is no stranger to vinyl records. Don’t forget that one of his girlfriends, Avril Lavigne, a famous singer, is a serious speaker.

An audiophile, although her collection of vinyl records is not as large as that of Jobs, it is still quite a lot. However, their collection types are completely different. Avril's collection is heavy metal punk, and most of her collection is rock music, while Jobs's collection is mostly classical music.

.

Precisely because he knew something about vinyl records, Su Zhen would not get this thing even if he died... Without it, it would be too troublesome. First, there is the capacity issue. Generally, a vinyl record is one-sided.

The capacity is only about five minutes, so if it is a symphony

Long music like this may require several records, and if you want to listen to vinyl records, you need to listen patiently to one record from beginning to end. It does not have the convenient song selection mode like CD and digital music. Secondly,

Be careful about storage, vinyl records contain

It breaks easily, so we must pay great attention to preservation. We must carefully dust off the record after each play. The record player and needle also need to be cleaned frequently, which is very troublesome. With Su Zhen's relatively out-of-the-box temperament, it is really not suitable for this, and only Steve Jobs

Only those who pursue Zen in this way can calm down and enjoy this peaceful enjoyment. Of course, it is not impossible for Su Zhen to collect such things. He can just leave the preservation and maintenance to his subordinates... It’s just that this way

It completely loses the meaning of collection.

But then again, Avril's temperament is not the kind of person who calms down, so how can she tolerate "slow" music like vinyl records? Su Zhen is sitting here, listening to less than two records, and is already

Somewhat restless.

And Jobs also noticed Su Zhen's discomfort - and soon understood why. However, he could only lament that young people nowadays are really a little impetuous.

If Su Zhen knew what Jobs was thinking, he would definitely sneeze at him. Your sister didn’t even look at what kind of music you were playing. Two grown men played Bach’s Matthew Passion together, which even one person couldn’t stand.

So when Su Zhen walked out of Jobs' office, his whole face was green, and the executives at Apple laughed secretly when they saw this, another poor guy who had been tortured by Jobs's bad taste.

Next time, I should take Jobs to Avril Lavigne's place to listen to Obituary (a famous American death metal band) for an hour or two, so that he can have a taste of it, Su Zhen thought fiercely.
