Chapter 77 Planning

Of course, Apple shareholders are opposed to it. After all, they were the ones who kicked Steve Jobs out of Apple in the first place.

Of course, little Gilbert also understood that before investing, he asked David to learn about the causes and consequences of Steve Jobs being kicked out.

Today I just mentioned it tentatively to give shareholders a precaution.

If he does bring back Steve Jobs, it would be better if the opposition from these shareholders should not be so intense.

After the shareholders' meeting, little Gilbert made a special trip to Emeryville.

The now famous Pixar Animation Studio is located here.

Steve Jobs bought the computer animation division of George Lucas for $1986 million in 1000 and became the boss of Pixar Animation Studios.

After being kicked out of Apple, Steve Jobs concentrated on developing Pixar Animation Studio and established a small technology company.

At Pixar Animation Studios, little Gilbert met the famous Steve Jobs in his previous life.

"I heard that you held a stake in Apple for 26 million and became a member of the board of directors?" Steve Jobs asked when he came up.

Playing tricks and tricks won't work against an overconfident and arrogant person like Steve Jobs, so it's better to be straightforward.

Little Gilbert admitted straightforwardly: "Yes, I hold shares in Apple only because of you, Mr. Jobs."

"Me?" Jobs was a little surprised: "I have been kicked out of Apple for nearly ten years."

Little Gilbert did not hide the purpose of his visit and said directly: "Let's put it this way, Mr. Jobs, I am optimistic about Apple's future development potential.

But the premise is that the person leading it must be you. "

"Oh?" Jobs was even more surprised: "So you want to invite me back to Apple?"

"That's right..."

"Is it your personal idea or the board's idea?"

"My personal thoughts..."

Steve Jobs smiled: "Director Gilbert, you should know that I was asked out by the board of directors. Do you think they will agree to let me go back?"

"Based on the current situation of Apple, I think if this continues, Apple will not be far from bankruptcy." Little Gilbert said, pointing to Jobs' chest and said:
  "Apple is your heart and soul, and you don't want Apple to shut down.

Wait for the opportunity, Mr. Jobs, sooner or later you will return to Apple. "

After Gilbert Jr. left, Steve Jobs fell into deep thought.

Gilbert Jr. is right. Steve Jobs is certainly concerned about Apple's situation and knows that Apple is in a very bad situation.

But he is a proud and arrogant person, unable to calm down and return to Apple on his own initiative.

Only when you have made achievements can you let Apple invite you back.

Gilbert Jr. promised to support him, which gave Steve Jobs a boost of confidence.

The top priority now is to get Pixar animation right.

Thinking about things, Jobs turned to John Lasseter's plan and planned to produce a 3D animation called "Toy Story."

Jobs was personally very optimistic about this project. It might help Pixar go public directly, and then he would have the capital to return to Apple.

All the money was invested in Apple and shares in Microsoft, Cisco, and Oracle, and little Gilbert's plan to change his house was stopped.

Ever since, little Gilbert still lived in the apartment.

It happened that the old man went to New York, so little Gilbert went to the old man's house to hold a party to reward the team members.

Sofia Coppola is here with the little girl Scarlett Johansson. The little girl has been very prosperous recently.

Her scenes in "Speed" were not deleted and were completely preserved, which gave her bragging rights among her peers.

So the first time she saw little Gilbert, she expressed her gratitude.

"Little Gilbert, thank you for letting me star in the movie. This is my gratitude to you." Scarlett Johansson said, handing her half-eaten ice cream to Little Gilbert.

"Scarlett," little Gilbert said, holding the ice cream that had been licked by the little girl: "Will you repay me with half of the ice cream?"

"No," the little girl still stared at the ice cream in little Gilbert's hand, looking like she still wanted to eat it: "It was originally one, but I just couldn't help it..."

The little girl's words made both little Gilbert and Sofia Coppola laugh.

Returning the ice cream to Scarlett, little Gilbert touched her head and said, "Eat less ice cream, it's easy to get a bad stomach."

"I know!" The little girl began to lick the ice cream happily again.

"Little Gilbert," Cameron Diaz led a tall girl wearing tight jeans that showed off her slender legs.

"Let me introduce you, this is Charlize Theron, a friend I met in acting class."

Cameron Diaz introduced the two to each other: "Sally, this is director Gilbert Landrini Jr."

"Hello, Miss Theron." Little Gilbert was very calm when he saw many stars from his past life.

On the contrary, Charlize Theron, who had just arrived in Los Angeles, seemed very excited to see the young director who has been in the limelight recently.

"Director Gilbert, I watched your movie "Speed" and I really liked it."

Charlize Theron held Little Gilbert’s outstretched hand and never let go.

"Thank you, Miss Theron, please come in!"

"Like Michelle, just call me Sally..."

"Well, Sally, you are welcome to be our guest..."

When entering, Cameron Diaz winked at little Gilbert, then glanced at Charlize Theron's buttocks, and whispered in little Gilbert's ear: "It feels great!"

Little Gilbert raised his eyebrows, what does this woman mean? Pimp? She considers herself a stud, right?

All the people here are good friends, so everyone can feel more comfortable without socializing.

There is no shortage of barbecue beer, knowing that little Gilbert does not like marijuana, cocaine and other things.

None of us are drug addicts, so it’s rare that we don’t see these things at parties.

Matt Damon talked about recent interesting things in Hollywood. The new things every day made him excited enough as a young boy who had just joined the industry.

Sofia Michelle complained about little Gilbert: "Little Gilbert, I heard that you have lost money buying stocks recently."

"Oh, you all know this?"

"Who doesn't know that Apple's market value has dropped to 1.8 billion US dollars now? If it drops further, it will declare bankruptcy." Sophia rolled her eyes.

Little Gilbert turned over the chicken wings and handed a piece of cooked chicken wing to Scarlett for her to nibble.

He was not idle: "Let them say it. In more than ten years, they will say that I am an investment genius."

"A genius?" Sophia obviously didn't believe it: "Just don't spend all the money you earn from making movies."

For Gilbert Jr., the investment in Apple is not over yet, and the next step is to facilitate Steve Jobs' return to Apple.

We will see how things go in the future, and we will wait until Steve Jobs returns to Apple and need financing before investing.

Next, it’s time for little Gilbert to look for technology companies that haven’t yet made their mark.

Amazon and Google seem to have been established in the 1990s.

Little Gilbert has entrusted stockbroker David to set up an investment company, and all future investments will be conducted through this investment company.

However, these business practices cannot be explained clearly to good friends, because little Gilbert knows the future, but they do not.

Maybe after achieving certain results, everyone will realize that little Gilbert's vision is so precise.
