A waiter brought coffee to the four of them and then quietly left.

"Which company?" Jobs said. Although he was unwilling, he could not deny that compared with Disney, the second largest media giant in the United States, although Pixar Animation Studio has achieved very good results in recent years, it still has Not on the same level.

"DreamWorks, Emerald Bird Film Group, or Columbia Pictures. If you don't like it, I can help you contact Twentieth Century Fox Film Company." Fang Mingyuan said bluntly.

Jobs couldn't help but feel slightly moved. DreamWorks, Emerald Bird Film Group and Columbia Pictures were all beyond his expectations. But when did 20th Century Fox Film Company have a relationship with Fang Mingyuan? It has more than three companies under its umbrella. It is indeed a very good choice in Qianjia Cinema.

"Why don't you mention Hong Kong Kumho Film Group?" Jobs said with a smile, "Don't you want to cooperate with Pixar Animation Studio?"

Fang Mingyuan shook his head. Although Hong Kong Kumho Film Group now has the ability to distribute globally, in North America, it still needs to rely on the power of local American companies, and the North American film market is the most important one in the film market today. Pixar The animation studio really wants to hand over the distribution work to Hong Kong Kumho Film Group. In North America, Hong Kong Kumho Film Group still has to find North American film companies to cooperate. Wouldn't that be another hand-off. Unless …

"Unless what?" Jobs asked curiously.

"Unless Pixar Animation Studio becomes a subsidiary of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group." Fang Mingyuan shrugged, "One day, if you are too lazy to be the majority shareholder of Pixar Animation Studio anymore, you must notify me." Blue Sky Studio It is already under the Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Co., Ltd., and DreamWorks is a personal shareholder. If Pixar Animation Studio can be brought under its umbrella again, Fang Mingyuan feels that he will have the ability to challenge Disney in terms of animated films.

Jobs glanced at Fang Mingyuan with a surprised look, and said with a strange look on his face: "Okay. If one day I want to transfer the shares of Pixar Animation Studio, I will inform you in advance."

Li Xintong noticed the flash of strange color on Jobs's face, and couldn't help but feel moved. Could it be said that Jobs had really thought about transferring Pixar Animation Studio? Pixar Animation Studio is now in full swing!

"Which company do you want me to cooperate with?" Jobs suddenly asked, "Emerald Film Group? Or DreamWorks?" He knew that both companies had Fan Mingyuan's shares.

"Emotionally speaking, I most hope to acquire Pixar Animation Studio. Intellectually speaking, Columbia Pictures or 20th Century Fox Film Company are both good choices." Fang Mingyuan said, "Pixar Animation Studio, I like it very much.”

"Just because of your words, let's celebrate!" Jobs raised his coffee cup and smiled. "I believe that if this word spreads, the value of Pixar Animation Studio will definitely increase by hundreds of millions of dollars."

"I will think about this matter carefully. But, you came to San Francisco from Los Angeles just for this matter?" Jobs said strangely, "You don't have such leisure, do you? Or do you have something new about Apple Computer Company?"

instructions?"

"With you in control of the overall situation, what else do I have to worry about about Apple Computer Company?" Fang Mingyuan said with a dumb smile, "But since I'm here, just give me a rough overview and let me know the latest situation."

Jobs briefly and concisely talked to Fang Mingyuan about the current situation of Apple Computer Company.

"Steven, I have an idea." Fang Mingyuan put down his coffee cup and said, "Let's remove the word computer from the company name."

"Apple?" Jobs raised his eyebrows, pondered for a moment and said, "That's good, so as not to give consumers the impression that our company only sells computers." Apple's products are no longer limited to Apple computers.

MP3 players are also one of its revenue-generating tools. Moreover, Jobs also intends to enter the field of mobile phones.

Fang Mingyuan and Jobs talked for more than three hours. Then Jobs stood up and said apologetically: "I have an important meeting later and I can't spend more time with you. Fang, you have to stay in Cupertino tonight."

?”

"No, I will rush back to San Francisco tonight. I have a date tonight. I will return to Los Angeles tomorrow." Fang Mingyuan said. The matter between MGM Film Company and 20th Century Fox Film Company must be reached as soon as possible.

It's a black paper agreement. He still has many things to do and doesn't have that much time and energy to spend on them.

Jobs sighed softly and said: "Okay, okay, we are all busy people. If I have a chance, I will treat you to dinner."

Fang Mingyuan also stood up, shook hands with him, and said seriously: "Steve, don't forget your annual physical examination!" Jobs' untimely death was not only a loss for Apple, but also a loss for the electronics industry around the world.

. Therefore, from the day the two of them officially met, Fang Mingyuan would remind him to go for a physical examination every time he had contact with him. Although pancreatic cancer is a malignant tumor of the digestive tract that is highly malignant and difficult to diagnose and treat, it can be diagnosed early.

There are always more opportunities to discover. It is a pity that the cause of pancreatic cancer has not been confirmed until later.

Fang Mingyuan and his party embarked on their return journey again. Fang Mingyuan, who was leaning on the back seat, looked at Li Xintong and chuckled: "If you have any questions, just ask."

Li Xintong pouted her red lips and said softly: "When did you and Steve Jobs become friends?"

"In 1997, when we had just successfully developed USB flash drive and MP3 playback technology, didn't Apple send people to Hong Kong to discuss technology transfer? This would officially have the other party's contact information." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile.

Li Xintong pursed her lips. Of course she remembered this incident. It really caused a shock at the time.

"That year was the most difficult year for Apple Computer Company since its establishment. At the end of September, Apple Computer Company announced that the company's losses in the first three quarters had reached 1.1 billion US dollars. This news caused Apple Computer Company's

The stock price plummeted, and by mid-October, Apple's stock price was less than three dollars, the lowest since its listing." Fang Mingyuan said.

"I know that Apple Computer Company was on the verge of bankruptcy at that time, but then Jobs introduced investment from Microsoft!" Li Xintong said excitedly. This was also a sensational event at the time. Apple Computer Company and Microsoft reached a settlement

, withdrew its copyright infringement lawsuit against Microsoft, and integrated Microsoft's IE browser into Apple's operating system. Microsoft purchased Apple's non-voting shares worth almost US$200 million and agreed to develop research and development for Apple computers.

Office software! As soon as this news was announced, Apple Computer’s stock price immediately began to rise!

"This cooperation was promoted in private. The shares of Apple Computer that Microsoft acquired were later bought by me." Fang Mingyuan chuckled, "That's how we became friends." Fang Mingyuan did not.

Mentioned that it was with the strong support of Microsoft that he replaced those directors who were unfriendly to him on the board of directors and reorganized the board of directors. With no more constraints on the board of directors, Jobs launched drastic reforms.

With the future rebirth of Apple Computer Company.

"Do all the 200 million U.S. dollars of stocks purchased by Microsoft belong to you?" Li Xintong's eyes widened. When Microsoft invested, Apple Computer was at its lowest point. The stock price was less than 3 U.S. dollars, and it reached 2,000 U.S. dollars.

In 2009, Apple Computer's stock price reached a peak of more than 150 US dollars. Even after the Internet bubble burst, Apple Computer's stock price was still almost 90 US dollars. As long as Fang Mingyuan bought it from Microsoft before it was too late.

, the profits here are amazing.

"Yes, that's why Steve said that he is working for me. Because he holds very few shares in Apple Computer Company." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. In fact, Fang Mingyuan did not tell the truth. As a reborn person, like Microsoft,

It is absolutely impossible to forget a famous company like Apple in his previous life. Ever since he had a lot of money, he has actually been buying stocks of world-renowned companies.

Apple was also a company he paid close attention to. In fact, he not only persuaded Microsoft to inject capital into Apple Computer Company, but also quickly bought Apple Computer Company's shares from Microsoft. He also made large-scale acquisitions through various channels.

When Fang Mingyuan held the largest shareholding in Apple Computer, it reached over 45% - a share price of less than three dollars, which caused most shareholders of Apple Computer to completely lose confidence in its future!

Later, before the Nasdaq crashed, he sold more than half of it. Then, starting last year, he secretly bought shares in Apple Computer—just through dozens of offshore companies.

Therefore, Jobs only knew that he held the stocks owned by the original Microsoft, accounting for 5.76% of Apple Computer Company, and was the second largest shareholder of Apple Computer Company. The top professional fund management company in the United States

——American Fidelity Investment Group, with 6.94%, is the largest shareholder of Apple Computer.

In fact, the shares of Apple Computer currently controlled by Fang Mingyuan have reached 21.7%, scattered under the names of dozens of offshore companies!
