Chapter 828: Joe Gang

"I have work to do this morning."
　　
　　In the suite, Ronan said to Candice Swanepoel who was putting on makeup: "I have people to accompany you around. The boutiques here are good. Just buy if you like."
　　
　　 Candice Swanepoel nodded, and said, "Ronan, you can go ahead and leave me alone."
　　
　　 Ronan pinched her tall nose: "Call me or Connie if you have something to do."
　　
　　 "I will." Candice Swanepoel said.
　　
　　 Ronan went out and saw two female bodyguards waiting outside, and ordered: "If Miss Swanepoel goes out, you must pay attention to her safety."
　　
　　The female bodyguard answered concisely and powerfully: "Yes."
　　
　　 Connie exhorted a few more words, accompanied Luo Nan downstairs, and drove to the place scheduled yesterday.
　　
　　 A group of three cars left Mumbai city and came to a spiritual monastery.
　　
　　 The car stopped at the door. Ronan looked at the various Buddhist signs and buildings. He didn't say much. He just followed an Indian monk waiting at the door and walked inside.
　　
　　Although he does not believe in religion, Ronan will maintain sufficient respect for the politics, culture and beliefs of others.
　　
　　 This is also the most basic common sense.
　　
　　 Coming to the front of a seemingly simple house, John Lasseter was waiting here. He hurriedly greeted him and said, "Good morning, Ronan."
　　
　　 "Hello, John." Ronan nodded.
　　
　　John Lasseter said, "Steve is not in good health recently."
　　
　　 Ronan knew how Steve Jobs was and said: "Don't worry, it won't be long."
　　
　　 John Lasseter opened the door, Ronan walked in, and immediately smelled a smell of incense, and the air was obviously not very good.
　　
　　 Steve Jobs is sitting on the futon on the wooden floor, and an Indian master is spinning around him, still muttering words.
　　
　　 As for what he was talking about, Ronan couldn't understand at all.
　　
　　 "Please wait a moment." Steve Jobs said softly, "I will end it soon."
　　
　　 Ronan glanced at his watch and said frankly, "I was here ten minutes early."
　　
　　 The Indian master Gujing Bubo, as if transcending everything in the world.
　　
　　About two minutes later, the Indian master stopped, Steve Jobs slowly stood up, the two put their hands together in salute, and the master slowly floated out of the room.
　　
　　 Steve Jobs at this moment is like the most devout believer.
　　
　　 Ronan can’t understand, but he can guess that Steve Jobs is probably healing through spiritual practice or meditation.
　　
　　 He didn't speak, and he wouldn't be so stupid to speak up.
　　
　　This involves the issue of faith. It is very troublesome to participate indiscriminately, not to mention Steve Jobs, even if it is Tom Cruise, Ronan never interferes with or participates in related issues of faith.
　　
　　 As for the effect, it can only be said that Steve Jobs believes that there is an effect.
　　
　　 Ronan knew a little bit about it. Although Steve Jobs underwent related operations, he still did not give up coming to India to find a solution to his condition.
　　
　　 I changed to an ordinary pancreatic cancer patient, so I would have to go to see God long ago. In addition to spiritual practice and meditation, Steve Jobs also has an ability to save his life.
　　
　　 banknote ability!
　　
　　Perhaps, Steve Jobs himself may not have a clear understanding, but pancreatic cancer is known as the king of cancer. There is no real solution to normal medical channels. Even billionaires can only spend money to delay their lives.
　　
　　 and it won’t last long.
　　
　　 When people are desperate, they always have unrealistic fantasy.
　　
　　 Although Steve Jobs was once mythical, there will be similarities in this regard.
　　
　　 "It's been a long time, Ronan." Steve Jobs invited Ronan to sit down.
　　
　　 Ronan sat on a wooden chair and said, "We must have not seen it in two years."
　　
　　 Steve Jobs put on round glasses, that kind of believer piety disappeared, replaced by the shrewdness of the businessman: "In just two years, you have changed so much."
　　
　　 Ronan smiled faintly and said, "Really? I didn't think I was still Ronan Anderson."
　　
"It's just 10 billionaire Ronan Anderson." Steve Jobs may be related to poor physical condition, and his voice has not been too loud: "If I remember correctly, the market value of Netflix has exceeded 55 billion US dollars. ? Next year's rich list, you will definitely be in the top ten."
　　
　　 Ronan is very calm: "The wealth in the stock market is all on paper, nothing."
　　
　　 Steve Jobs was concealed behind the disc glasses, all shrewd and calculating: "It's easy to transform into actual finances. It's not as good as you transfer part of the Netflix shares to me at market price."
　　
　　 Ronan did not answer, but instead said, "Steve, the stock price of Pixar Studios has been stable."
　　
Steve Jobs did not hide: "Pixar's stock price will not have much room for growth. After all, it is only a pure content manufacturer. You are a master of Hollywood operations. It is clearer than me that the film industry is also a channel. Is king."
　　
　　 Ronan said: "The channel of relativity entertainment can make Pixar more valuable."
　　
　　 "The contract between Pixar and Disney is about to expire." Steve Jobs said unhurriedly: "I have a lot of options."
　　
　　 Ronan asked, "Steve, are there really many? In addition to Disney, how many of Hollywood have actually operated animated films? Does Pixar want to continue to cooperate with Disney?"
　　
　　 Steve Jobs said: "The copyright of Pixar studio animations is still in Disney. I can't let Pixar's children stay out forever."
　　
　　 This seems to be nothing, but Ronan understands that this is Steve Jobs opening the conditions.
　　
　　 Ronan said: "The kids from Pixar Studios, I will definitely come back. No one will let "Toy Story", "Monster Electric Company" and "Finding Nemo" out."
　　
　　 Steve Jobs asked: "Do you have a way?"
　　
　　 "I thought about it a little bit, but the specifics have not yet been determined." Ronan said slowly: "To get back the copyright, we need the tacit cooperation of the two of us. This is a prerequisite."
　　
　　 How smart Steve Jobs is, he immediately understood that this was Ronan's condition. Unless Pixar Studios and Relativity Entertainment became a family, Ronan would not make a move.
　　
　　John Lasseter has talked with Robert Iger many times, and there is no need to conceal this point between the two sides.
　　
　　 Ronan said, "Steve, we will benefit from cooperation."
　　
　　 Relativity Entertainment wants to acquire Pixar Studios. After Pixar Studios leaves Disney, it needs a new global marketing channel.
　　
　　 Steve Jobs didn’t know this, but as an exceptionally shrewd businessman, he had to fight for the most advantageous conditions for himself.
　　
　　 "I agree in principle." Steve Jobs no longer walks in circles: "But there is a premise, Ronan, you must promise Relativity Entertainment to take back the copyright of the animated feature film released by Disney for Pixar Studios."
　　
　　 Ronan said very seriously: "I promise." He still said: "These animated feature films can be serialized, and the value has not been fully reflected, and I cannot let them stay in Disney's hands."
　　
　　 Steve Jobs has heard of it more than once. In the Hollywood circle, Ronan Anderson has an excellent reputation.
　　
　　 A typical businessman like him would not trust another businessman's guarantee.
　　
　　 because he has experienced it.
　　
　　 But Steve Jobs believed in the greed of a businessman in the face of huge profits.
　　
　　 So, Steve Jobs nodded slightly: "Ronan, I believe you will keep your promise."
　　
　　 Ronan said with a smile: "Extracting benefits from Disney is in line with the needs of both of us."
　　
　　 "What about the specific plan?" Steve Jobs asked.
　　
　　How could Ronan say now: "When the time comes, Robert Iger will communicate directly with Pixar Studio."
　　
　　 Steve Jobs didn't bother with this: "Yes, let them discuss the specific progress. Ronan, we only talk about the most important things."
　　
　　 Ronan said, "Of course, Steve, Pixar Studio has always been in your charge."
　　
　　 Even now, Pixar Studios has raised and expanded shares several times, and Steve Jobs sold shares for cash, thereby increasing his holdings of Apple's shares and so on.
　　
　　 The top boss of the Pixar studio still holds nearly 51% of Pixar's equity.
　　
　　 Ronan knows very well that Steve Jobs is asking for a price.
　　
　　 The people below the specific price will talk about it, but the main frame must be decided by him and Jobs.
　　
After a few minutes of consideration, Steve Jobs said: "We traded in an equity swap. I used Pixar Studio's equity to redeem equity in Netflix with the same value of Relativity Entertainment ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The specific price is based on The market price on the day of the transaction is used as a benchmark."
　　
　　 Pixar Studios has a market value of more than 5 billion U.S. dollars. If the transaction is carried out according to the current situation, Relativity Entertainment may pay about 10% of Netflix's equity.
　　
　　 Today's Netflix has just started, various businesses are developing smoothly, and the stock price is in a period of rapid rise.
　　
　　 Ronan knows this, and business elites like Steve Jobs can also see it clearly.
　　
Conversely, the stock price of Pixar Studios, which has no distribution channels, has been very stable in recent years, and it is difficult to have much room for growth. Hollywood's industrial system is not a secret. Anyone who knows a bit knows that Pixar Studios is in the lower reaches of the industrial chain. .
　　
　　 "Yes." Ronan replied: "But I also have one condition, which is simple and not complicated."
　　
　　Steve Jobs said, "Please tell me."
　　
　　 Ronan said softly: "You are the CEO of Apple, and I am a shareholder of Apple. We will have a new identity at that time, I am the chairman of Netflix, and you are the majority shareholder of Netflix..."
　　
　　 Steve Jobs looked at Ronan with a bad feeling.
　　
　　 Ronan said directly: "Apple is developing a smart phone. Steve, you promote it inside Apple. Apple's smart phones and other handheld terminals use Netflix's Android operating system."
