I’m sorry Buddha, I tripped over my lover

Jobs was originally the founder of Pingguo, and it was he who single-handedly brought Pingguo to the top.

But like many startups, Pingguo entered the development period, and out of the need to expand, Jobs accepted financing from investment institutions.

It was also because of this that Jobs laid the groundwork for his future expulsion from Pingguo.

December 12, 1980, was an unforgettable day for Jobs, and Pingguo successfully went public on this day, closing at $29 a share.

According to the stock price, Apple directly gave birth to four billionaires and more than forty millionaires, in US dollars, you know, this is the eighties, when China was still competing for 10,000 yuan, and the foreign exchange reserves of the entire China were only billions of dollars.

At that time, Jobs was only a 25-year-old young man, and it was when he was satisfied and angry.

No one would have thought that just five years later, Jobs would be ousted from the chairmanship because of infighting in the company, and left the Pingguo company he founded in embarrassment.

It was not until 1996, eleven years after he left Pingguo, that he was able to return to Pingguo as a savior.

For Jobs, Pingguo is his obsession, so Chen Wenjun is very confident that supporting Jobs with his huge stake in Pingguo will definitely make Jobs happy to sell Pixar Animation Studio to himself.

Lafitte said approvingly: “It should be fine if this is the case.” ”

“In 85, the infighting in Pingguo Company was very strong, and it lasted for half a year, and Jobs was driven out of Pingguo by the board of directors of Pingguo, and Jobs has always wanted to kill a horse gun for the past two years, but he can’t find a suitable opportunity.”

“Now that the boss is willing to throw an olive branch, I think he will gladly agree.”

“It’s just that Pingguo really has that much value.”

“Now IBM is also chasing Pingguo for the personal computer business, and according to Wall Street analysis, Pingguo is difficult to withstand IBM’s offensive.”

Chen Wenjun smiled and said: “If the analysis of Wall Street people is so accurate, there will not be so many Wall Street companies failing every year.” ”

“Lafitte, just do what I want.”

“By the way, how did you handle the matter about Manwei?”

Lafitte scratched his head a little after hearing this.

“Boss, Manway was sold to New World Pictures last year for $45 million.”

“We spoke to the head of New World Films, and they were interested in selling Manway, but the asking price was very high, $90 million.”

“We negotiated with him a few times, and the price couldn’t be cut, and finally the stalemate reached $85 million.”

Chen Wenjun thought a little after hearing this.

Manway is in the hands of New World Studios, which means that Manway’s important IP has not been sold.

You know, in the original time and space, Manway was sold by New World Pictures to Revlon’s president Ronald Perelman in ’88.

This guy has regarded Manway as a money-making tool from beginning to end, and has never thought of developing Manway’s heroic IP.

Soon after Manway arrived, Ronald Perelman sold the IP of several well-known Manway superheroes such as Spider-Man to major film companies.

Ronald Perelman would never have imagined that Sony would later make a lot of money with the copyright of Spider-Man, far more than the few dollars he made by speculation.

Ronald Perelman’s actions did not stop there, after selling well-known IP, he squeezed Manway’s oil and water dry through a series of riotous operations, and finally Ronald Perelman found that Manway had no oil, so he kicked Manway away and left him to fend for himself.

For Ronald Perelman’s behavior, Chen Wenjun is very disdainful.

If he can focus on Manway, the benefits will not be as simple as hundreds of millions of dollars.

But Ronald Perelman is just a speculator and can’t do great things.

Chen Wenjun has a clear understanding of his future business empire, and the film industry is an indispensable part.

After all, Manweili’s widowed sister, Ao Mei looks really tasty, coughing 、、、

From Pixar Animation Studio to Manway, this will be a chess game for Chen Wenjun to fill the commercial landscape.

Chen Wenjun thought for a while and said: “Lafitte, contact New Century Film Company for the last time, give them an offer of 80 million US dollars, and tell them that if they accept, we can make a one-time payment. ”

Lafitte hesitated for a moment after hearing this and said: “Boss, I personally think that Manway is not worth this price. ”

“Although Manwei is a leading company for cartoonists in beautiful countries, the era of comics has passed.”

“People are more enthusiastic about the big screen and TV sets now, and Manway’s comic book adaptation has not gone smoothly.”

“Otherwise, Manway would not have been unable to operate and be sold.”

“According to our team’s analysis, $50 million should be a more reasonable price for Manwei.”

Chen Wenjun smiled and said, “It’s okay, just do as I say.” ”

Seeing this, Lafitte could only nod and said: “Okay, Boss, I reserve my opinion and resolutely carry out your order.” ”

Chen Wenjun said with satisfaction: “That’s right, Lafitte, I chose you as my investment advisor for two reasons. ”

“First, you are a shrewd and professional investor.”

“Second, you can put aside your professional advice and execute my investment plan perfectly.”

“Otherwise, how could I hand over such a huge amount of money to you to manage.”

A smile suddenly appeared on Lafitte’s face.

“Haha, thank you Boss for affirming my ability and professional ethics.”

“Do you have anything else to order?”

Chen Wenjun continued: “There is really one more thing, Lafitte, you meet with people from the Disney Group and tell them that I want to build a Disneyland in Seoul. ”

“The scale of investment, the method of cooperation, referring to Tokyo Disney, I only accept the annual management fee to Disney, or the one-time fee to buy out the license, and do not accept Disney to interfere in the management.”

Chen Wenjun proposed this cooperation model for a simple reason.
