Back to 1980: Please Love Me Again

Chapter 335 One investment made the richest man in the world
Pretty Country, San Francisco.

Jobs has an extremely radical and paranoid character, he will do what he decides immediately, and will not give up until he achieves his goal.

In the end, Jobs asked three times, and Zhao Wenmu resigned three times. After Zhao Wenmu's half-push and half-satisfaction, the two still reached a cooperation agreement on the animation studio.

The two parties each invested $1 million to establish Pixar Animation Studios.

Among them, Jobs holds 55% of the shares and has 80% of the voting rights at the same time. That is to say, Zhao Wenmu permanently donated 25% of the voting rights to him free of charge to ensure Jobs' absolute control over the company.

The fruit company driving out its founder will never happen at Pixar.

Zhao Wenmu holds 45% of the shares, and Jobs promised that Zhao Wenmu's equity will never be diluted.

What does it mean?

For example, the company is now worth [-] million US dollars, and then another boss is willing to increase the company's capital by [-] million US dollars.

After the capital increase, the company is worth 50 million U.S. dollars. Should this boss own [-]% of the shares, and Zhao Wenmu and Jobs' shares will be reduced in proportion.

In the end, the boss got 50%, Jobs 27.5%, and Zhao Wenmu 22.5%.

However, this is not the case.

After the capital increase is completed, Zhao Wenmu is still 45%. As for how the boss and Jobs allocate the remaining 55% of the equity, it is their own business.

There are dozens of legal documents signed for this series of agreements.

Pretty Country laws will ensure that they are fully enforced.

To put it bluntly, the end result is that Jobs got the control, Zhao Wenmu got the equity, and the two get what they need.

After all, the company will continue to raise funds and expand shares in the future.

Jobs has made contributions and has unparalleled value as a technology giant, so it is reasonable for the initial equity to be slightly higher.

Zhao Wenqiu, as the representative of Zhao Wenmu, serves as the company's chief financial officer.

She will not interfere with Jobs' business decisions, and everything is subject to Jobs' judgment.

This boss is a typical success in doing whatever he can, just obediently follow behind the boss to pick up the ready-made loot, and don't point fingers to make the boss unhappy.

This time, Pixar Animation Studios developed even more brilliantly than in the previous life. It not only made the world's first 3D animation, but also entered the personal computer industry on which the Fruit Company relied. .

The fruit company, as in the past, declined all the way after Jobs left, and its market share continued to shrink.

This time with Pixar as a strong rival, its decline was even more rapid.

Until 1994.

Jobs returned to take charge of the fruit company, and brought the fruit company back into the fast lane of development with Mac products.

However, unlike his previous life, this time, Jobs did not return to the fruit company alone.

Instead, Pixar bought a 30% stake in Fruit, which was superimposed on Zhao Wenmu's 12.7% stake, and became the largest shareholder of Fruit in one fell swoop, completely taking over the fruit company.

At that time Zhao Wenmu still owned a 45% stake in Pixar.

This is equivalent to indirectly holding 0.45*0.3, or 13.5% of the fruit's equity.

A total of 26.2% of the shares are held!

As of 2022, the market value of the fruit company is 28000 trillion US dollars, and Zhao Wenmu's equity is worth 7200 billion US dollars!
Only this one stake is the well-deserved richest man in the world!
Even more than the total wealth of No.2 to No.4 combined!

Just terrifying.

This is not counting the high dividends of fruit companies for decades.

Just from these dividends, Zhao Wenmu has already earned more than tens of billions of dollars!
Of course, these are all things to talk about, so I will skip it.

Zhao Wenqiu was the most confused at the moment, my brother just met a good man and slept for a few nights, uh, no, he slept in the other's house for a few nights.

I got into the chief financial officer myself.

Zhao Wenqiu, the chief financial officer, can even be compared with Jobs, the godfather of fruit in the future. It is generally believed that the contributions of the two to the development of the fruit company are equal.

Although Jobs died early and Zhao Wenqiu became a senator, both of them left the fruit company early.

But no one will deny their contribution to this company.

To a certain extent, Zhao Wenqiu's fame even surpassed Zhao Wenmu's in this world when the brother and sister Zhao Wenmu and Zhao Wenqiu were alive.

Jobs acted swiftly, registering the company before Mr. Meyer's salvage boat was out to sea.

It even spent $1000 million to acquire the computer animation department of Industrial Light and Magic.

The action is not unpleasant!
Zhao Wenmu specially invited him to the port to see Mel off.

Jobs was full of praise for Mel's persistent pursuit of his dreams.

"Mr. Mel, when you come back triumphantly, I will definitely make a movie of your experience for everyone to see!"

Jobs said sternly.

It seemed that he never doubted that Mel's trip would fail.

"Okay, Mr. Jobs, I look forward to that day!"

Mel waved to the two, turned around and walked up the gangway with brisk steps.

"Mr. Mel, have a nice trip!"

"Bon Voyage!"

Later, in the opening scene of the Hollywood blockbuster "Mrs. Atoka", Jobs embeds the scene of the three people waving goodbye with a little selfishness, which can be considered as a cameo by Zhao Wenmu.

Really I play myself.

Saying goodbye to Mel, Jobs took the bus back to the company alone.

Zhao Wenmu really didn't understand him in some aspects.

Like his stinginess.

For a billionaire, jeans and sweaters are fine. After all, Zhao Wenmu is somewhat similar in this point, as long as the clothes are comfortable, he doesn't care about the price.

The key is that Jobs always squeezed the bus, and he was not very willing to spend money on his adoptive parents.

Zhao Wenmu didn't quite understand this point.

What is the money for?

Perhaps Jobs did it for a sense of security, to make those who look down on him and those who are hostile to him look at him with envy and fear.

Regardless of these details, Jobs is generally a very easy person to get along with.

He is reliable, trustworthy and has business ethics. He is indeed a rare and good partner.

After bidding farewell to Jobs, brother and sister Zhao Wenmu drove from San Francisco, passed through Los Angeles, and finally arrived at a desert north of Tucson, Arizona.

The total mileage of this journey is more than 1400 kilometers. Fortunately, security personnel are driving along the way, and Zhao Wenmu and Zhao Wenmu enjoy the scenery along the way leisurely.

Their final destination is Biosphere [-] located here.

(In reality, the Biosphere 1991 experiment started in [-])

Biosphere 2 is a miniature artificial ecological cycle system, whose main purpose is to help people understand how the earth's ecosystem works, and aims to study the conditions of the simulated earth's ecological environment.

To put it bluntly, it is how to replicate a complete earth ecosystem on an alien planet.

At least it is a simulated earth ecosystem that can sustain human beings for a long time.

The reason why Zhao Wenmu is interested in this place is self-evident.

In his view, human beings will eventually step out of the earth and into space.

One day in the future, there will be human footprints on the moon, on Mars, on distant Pluto, and even in farther places outside the solar system.

There will be human colonies.

Then the results of today's research on the earth's ecosystem will be extremely important!
