Chapter 305 Visiting Jobs

…

"This kind of table lamp design is very novel, but I think electronic products want to be remembered, in addition to performance, the key lies in the futuristic and technological sense of industrial design. The fastest update┏Ⅹ④③⑨⑨┛"

After a pause, Guo Shouyun turned and said, "Do you have a pen?"

"I have!"

Arthur Rubin, who was a little unconvinced in his heart, took out the black signature pen in his pocket and handed it over. He really wanted to see if the behind-the-scenes boss, who was "touted" by the boss for being extremely talented in design, had any real talent.

Guo Shouyun untied the pen and turned to the blank page of the material at the back. The classic crank design of Apple's iMac computer appeared in his mind.

His hands follow his heart, and he is a little sketchy. Although he is not as good as those professionals with strong hand-painting skills, a simple computer shape is still difficult for him.

"How about you guys?"

After taking a look at it, Jobs' eyes lit up.

"Bruce, it's so right to come to see you today!"

After reading it, Arthur Rubin looked at Guo Shouyun with a little more admiration in his eyes.

Guo Shouyun smiled, not surprised by this result. It would be strange if Apple's insistence on a classic shape that hasn't changed in a decade still doesn't impress Jobs.

"It's good to be satisfied. By the way, remember to pay me the design fee!"

"Hey, give it!"

Looking at the coins Jobs took out of his pocket, Guo Shouyun couldn't help laughing and crying: "One dollar? Steve, when did you become so stingy?"

"It's not that I'm being stingy, it's that your plan is too grand. Buying arm has already spent our past year's income from iPod portable players. So, the company is now out of money! This coin is my personal investment !"

Guo Shouyun shook his head and smiled, "Okay, I accepted this coin."

"...No kidding, how did you think about what I told you last time?"

Jobs' expression resumed his seriousness, "After the mergers and acquisitions in the past few days, Ruby is really strong in chip design. If it is merged into Arm and becomes a subsidiary of Apple, the integration of resources can indeed strengthen our strength in the field of mobile chips. R&D strength. However, Ruby's R&D direction is not just mobile chips, what do you plan to do with telecommunications and 4G?"

"Sell it!"

"Sell?" Jobs asked in surprise.

Guo Shouyun nodded, "When I was young, I was ignorant, and I always wanted to keep everything that made money in my hands. Only now did I realize that people's energy is limited, and time is even more limited. In limited energy and time, put a It's better to be the best at two things than to do everything!"

Jobs stared blankly at the friend who had a hint of emotion on his face.

"Bruce, you're only 23 years old!"

"Do you think I look like a 23-year-old now?" Guo Shouyun pointed to the gray hair on his sideburns, "Steve, this year, I have stayed at home and seldom asked about the company's affairs. But it is precisely this A year of purification has made me want to understand a lot of questions. I have found the answer after the confusion before! The ruby ​​thing is one of them!"

Jobs nodded. He could see that this year, his boss and friend had changed a lot. Especially the whole person has become more stable and mature than before. However, it is also understandable that any person will quickly become mature after a series of things such as becoming a father, his wife being in a coma in a car accident and so on.

"Bruce, although I agree with your merger proposal, the company's acquisition of arm's shares has taken out all the liquidity, and even paid some shares. If you buy ruby ​​now, the funds are too tight unless you borrow. But now I'm afraid it is very difficult. Few banks are willing to lend us enough money!"

Guo Shouyun nodded. When he bought Apple, he used a leveraged buyout. This invisibly increases Apple's liabilities. Later, the Nasdaq crisis and the failure of the new-generation iMac G4 product launched in 2000 affected Apple's revenue. It wasn't until the iPad was launched last year that it recovered some of the decline, so Apple's development is not optimistic.

In addition, under the direction of Guo Shouyun, Ruby has actively developed the markets in East Asia, Southeast Asia and India in recent years, relying on the low-cost dumping of 'true red chips', and it has developed rapidly. Even excluding the telecommunications sector, Ruby's assets exceed $400 million!

"I've considered this. Apple doesn't need capital, just shares!"

Jobs nodded, "It seems that my small share in Apple is going to be compressed again!"

"Steve, if this iMac product sells more than 1.5 million units in two years, then I'll raise your stake back to 5%!"

"I love challenging work!"

Guo Shouyun smiled and stood up.

"Go out for a walk?"

"OK!"

After walking out the corridor leading to the back garden of China Unicom, the two took a walk on the lawn behind the Guo Family Manor.

"Forgot to ask you, how is Finding Nemo now? When will it be released?"

Since acquiring Apple and becoming friends with Steve Jobs, there has been no obstacle to the cooperation between Matrix Pictures and Pixar. Therefore, under the name of Guo Shouyun's "Bruce Story Club", the best-selling children's stories in the United States also began to become classics in his impression with Pixar's superb computer technology.

"It is estimated that it will be next year. As for the specific time, it depends on the progress of Pixar!"

Guo Shouyun nodded, "Steve, I heard that you were having trouble with Disney CEO Michael Isner?"

"He's too greedy! Although Disney is strong, it's like taking 35% of the profits from distribution channels?" Jobs shook his head.

"Which Hollywood giant is not greedy? When Matrix first started working with Warner, they were also blackmailed by them!"

"Now your Matrix is ​​the best cheese in Hollywood."

In the past year, The Matrix's performance can be described as brilliant, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" global box office reached an astonishing $ 974 million; "Pirates of the Caribbean" first global box office $ 654 million; "Fifty Shades of Grey" "The Hangover" grossed $571 million worldwide; "The Hangover" grossed $238.2 million worldwide; in addition to "Legal Blonde 2", "Fast and the Furious", "Animation: Ghost Stories 2", "Chainsaw 2" ", the global box office has basically exceeded 100 million US dollars.

Throughout 2002, Matrix surpassed giants such as Universal, Time Warner, and Disney with a series of hit movies, and was firmly ranked first in the total box office with US$2.637 billion.

Of course, if these alone, although enviable, are not enough to bring down the Hollywood giants. What's really coveted about Matrix Pictures is that all of their big hits are a series. This means that in the next ten years, the revenue of Matrix will occupy the top three in Hollywood.

In the end, the outbreak of the Matrix also made Guo Shouyun firmly establish his reputation as a genius writer. The novels he wrote have also become the most desired scripts of major film and television companies.

Looking at Jobs' eyes with some admiration, Guo Shouyun smiled slightly, "Steve, since the matrix is ​​so popular, do you want to join in?"

"Join in? You mean Pixar?" With Jobs' intelligence, he instantly guessed Guo Shouyun's purpose. Moreover, he has not heard of the other party's interest in animation companies.

"good!"

"If I join, what conditions can you give me?"

"14% and $1.6 billion in cash! Plus, you get a board seat!"

Pixar is now worth around $2.5 billion. The Matrix has exploded in the film industry, the income of the game industry has increased, the number of five-star cinemas has increased to 20, and on the basis of holding a large number of film and television copyrights, the asset evaluation is 7 billion US dollars. Therefore, Guo Shouyun's price is also fair. The most important thing is that in the long run, the shares of Matrix are worth thousands of dollars. If it wasn't for the fact that it wasn't listed, it would definitely have reached sky-high prices.

"14% stake, $1.6 billion in cash. Yes, I said yes?"

"You promised?"

Seeing the surprised look on Guo Shouyun's face, Jobs smiled, "Why, is there anything strange?"

"Shouldn't you haggle with me?"

"I don't know how valuable 14% of the original shares of Matrix Holdings are. How can I still bargain? And there is 1.6 billion US dollars in cash in the later purchase. In fact, today, even if you don't ask, I will take the initiative to sell Pixar to Pixar. you!"

"Oh why?"

"Because, when Matrix Pictures is developing for a period of time, I'm afraid it won't be easy to get a lot of original shares from you!" After a pause, Jobs looked into the distance, "Also, I am more than Pixar. I like Apple. Especially now that Apple's development is at a critical moment, I also need to focus my energy and time."

After Guo Shouyun nodded slightly, he looked at the young friend beside him. Jobs was taken aback by his straight eyes.

"What's your look like?"

"Steve, how long have you been without a medical examination?"

"Examination?"

Jobs was stunned, he couldn't keep up with his friend's brain circuits.

"Let's go, it just so happens that I'm going to St. Joseph's Hospital for an examination today, so come with me too!"

"Bruce, I have to go back to work later, so I don't have time to accompany you. Besides, I just finished my checkup last year and I'm in good health."

"Isn't it possible to squeeze in time? Besides, it's been so long since last year's inspection, how could it be counted!" Guo Shouyun said involuntarily, pulling Jobs towards the way he came.

As the most talented working man under his command, he can't let the other party die at the age of fifty-six because of pancreatic cancer like in his previous life.

For the sake of his super asset of Apple, Guo Shouyun decided to provide Lao Qiao with a full-time doctor, and go to the hospital for a thorough examination every two or three months. Strive to let Qiao Gangzhu work for himself at Apple in a healthy and healthy life.

…

"How about it?"

Wendy looked at the tall, handsome man in a dark blue suit with a white shirt and black striped tie. There was a hint of admiration and deep love on the pretty face.

After stepping up to help the other party tidy his collar, he looked up at his sideburns, which were obviously different from ordinary people, and said with some distress: "It would be better if there were no white hair!"

Guo Shouyun looked at himself in the mirror, especially in front of the ears on both sides, with short white hair about one finger tall and **** wide, "It's not a bad thing to have this white hair, but it makes me look more mature than before! "

"That's what you think!"

Guo Shouyun smiled and did not continue the topic.

"I'll leave the house to you!"

"Well! Don't worry. I will take care of the two children."

Guo Shouyun nodded, stared at the beautiful flowers in front of him, his lips wriggled a bit, but in the end he only left the sentence "I will be back soon", then turned and walked out.

Feeling the lost eyes behind him, Guo Shouyun despised his indecision in his heart. However, now he still can't get past that hurdle in his heart.

"boss!"

Matthew, the captain of the bodyguard who had been waiting outside for a long time, greeted him. Now, the bodyguards around Guo Shouyun are basically replaced by cronies trained by Rudy Mueller and Pire Li from Yulin Island. Moreover, since the last time he was assassinated, causing the person he loves to remain unconscious, Guo Shouyun's emphasis on safety has reached the extreme.

Not only did he increase the security personnel around him to 50 people. Moreover, Rudy Mueller and Pire Li were ordered to increase the number of training personnel for the second phase of Yulin Island from less than 100 at the beginning to 200 now. Moreover, after Guo Shouyun added a lot of military equipment, the training on the island was not just for simple bodyguards, but in accordance with the standards of elite special forces.

He had already suffered a loss once, and he never wanted to have a second time.

"Is the car ready?"

"Already prepared!"

"Let's go!"

"Yes!"

Guo Shouyun himself, with sixteen bodyguards, took five cars and slowly opened the gate of Guo's Manor. The destination of their trip is Guo Shouyun's other villa in San Francisco, "Hanshan Courtyard". Since it was bought, it has been the place where he entertains foreign guests. The same is true today.

"gentlemen!"

When Guo Shouyun got out of the car, George Fields, the housekeeper who had been waiting, hurried up to greet him. Now he and the old Ward who stayed in Guo's Manor, one outside and one inside ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ are responsible for the trivial matters surrounding Guo Shouyun.

"Has anyone arrived?"

"It's here, I'm in the reception room No. 3!"

Guo Shouyun nodded and strode inside.

"How many people are here?"

"Five!"

After a few simple words of communication, Guo Shouyun came to the door of the No. 3 reception room with ease. After knocking on the door, he pushed it open and walked in.

At this moment, all the people who heard the movement inside turned their heads subconsciously and looked towards the door. And when they saw the person coming, they also stood up subconsciously.

After a quick glance among the five, Guo Shouyun's eyes stayed on the middle-aged woman wearing a long black coat, with short blond hair and short ears, a serious expression, and a low-key and simple temperament.
