Hearing Ronan’s conditions, Steve Jobs suddenly smiled and said:
This is contrary to Apple’s basic development principles. Let alone I can’t promote it. Even if I do, the shareholders will drive me down.
Today’s Steve Jobs has only a small amount of equity in Apple, even far less than Ronan’s equity. Although Steve Jobs created Apple, it is now more like a career for Apple. Manager.
Although Ronan knows the difficulty is very difficult, he still wants to try: "As long as Apple’s smartphones are selling, these are not problems at all. Steve, don’t forget, I’m also an Apple shareholder and I’ve been in contact with many Apple shareholders. The only two things they care about are stock price and profit!"
As long as the stock price is high enough, most Apple shareholders will care which operating system Apple’s portable handheld terminal uses?
But the relationship between Steve Jobs and Apple is intricate after all: "Joining your alliance is not good for Apple itself."
Ronan smiled, and said, "How could it not be beneficial? A wider promotion platform, more benefit binding partners, more promotion channels..."
Steve Jobs raised his hand to interrupt Ronan's words: "Apple doesn't need these, what Apple has to do is to stick to itself." He confidently said: "Because Apple is Apple, nothing else."
Ronan sighed secretly. From the attitude of Steve Jobs, it is not difficult to tell that the possibility is zero.
It is probably the arrogance and self-confidence of Steve Jobs that this world will have a bite of an apple that can make people sell kidneys to buy crazy.
Ronan no longer entangled in this aspect, and said: "Steve, I can't agree to your terms. Netflix also has many shareholders, and I cannot harm their interests."
Steve Jobs said: "I can also accept the equity of Relativity Entertainment."
Ronan did not refuse, and said directly: "Relativity Entertainment is calculated at a valuation of 100 billion US dollars."
Steve Jobs's face turned black in an instant: "Netflix is worth a lot of money, but Relativity Entertainment is not a 100% controlling shareholder. We use Netflix's market value of 60 billion U.S. dollars to calculate, your Relativity Entertainment is worth more than 40 billion U.S. dollars? "
Ronan is as confident as Jobs just now: "In my hands, yes."
Many series of movies have just begun, and the Marvel Avengers Project has not yet been released...
The atmosphere in the room was a bit frozen, and the two of them instantly fell into a stalemate.
Whether it is Ronan or Steve Jobs, they all have the sincerity of cooperation.
Relativistic entertainment needs Pixar studio, because Pixar studio not only represents the future production of many online and offline animated films with unlimited value, but also the world's best animation production hardware and software development capabilities.
Why is Pixar Studios recognized as the No. 1 animation studio in Hollywood? It is not only a film production ability, but also an animation production software and hardware provider.
From Blue Sky to DreamWorks to Shahai Entertainment, these animation studios use software and hardware systems purchased from Pixar Studios on a large scale.
In contrast to Pixar Studios, animated films are the foundation. As a pure production company, it urgently needs new marketing channels.
Otherwise, continue to cooperate with Disney.
How unequal is the contract between Walt Disney and Pixar Studios, the management of Pixar Studios now hates Walt Disney.
Once, Robert Iger single-handedly persuaded Steve Jobs, and then Disney acquired Pixar Studios.
But Steve Jobs is undoubtedly the super winner of this deal, becoming the largest shareholder of Walt Disney.
After the death of Steve Jobs, the biggest legacy left to his family was not about Apple’s property, but about Walt Disney’s equity.
This makes Jobs’ widow always stand firmly in the ranks of the billionaires.
Ronan roughly guessed that today's Relativity Entertainment and Netflix are like Disney to Steve Jobs.
Ronan and Steve Jobs both have sincerity to cooperate, because cooperation will benefit both, but they also want to strive for the best conditions and greatest benefits for themselves.
At this moment, Ronan and Steve Jobs will only consider issues from the perspective of businessmen and capital.
They are just businessmen!
"Let's do it, Steve." Ronan said unhurriedly: "We all want to cooperate, and cooperation will benefit both, why don't we each back down."
Steve Jobs coughed twice and emphasized: "Apple is Apple, and Pixar Studio is Pixar Studio. The two cannot be confused."
Ronan nodded slightly: "The premise of cooperation, Relativity Entertainment must control Pixar Studio."
Steve Jobs said: "I agree with this point, but Pixar Studios needs to maintain sufficient creative independence."
"If Pixar Studio is not allowed to guarantee a certain degree of independence..." Ronan asked, "Is Pixar Studio still Pixar Studio?"
Steve Jobs said: "I believe your eyes on film creation."
Ronan’s vision in movies is more trustworthy than Ronan’s character and credibility.
"Look, Steve, we can still find a lot of consensus." Ronan spread his hands and said, "We also want Pixar Studios to have better development in the future."
Steve Jobs believes in the truth of this statement, because a better-developed Pixar studio is in line with the interests of Relativity Entertainment.
"Tell me about your conditions." Maybe he had just done spiritual practice, and Steve Jobs was a little tired.
Ronan stopped going in circles, and said directly: "Relativity Entertainment acquired Pixar Studios in cash and part of the equity of Netflix."
Steve Jobs was silent for a while, seeming to consider the pros and cons, and finally slowly said: "Yes, I agree with this type of transaction."
Commercial negotiation, especially this kind of cooperative intention, is itself a process of mutual compromise. He then asked: "Specific ratio?"
Ronan said, "Let the people below talk."
Steve Jobs thought for a while, and said, "Alright."
It is enough for the two to reach an intention. The specific negotiation is very cumbersome, and it is impossible for them to determine one by one.
"How do you think about Disney's copyright?" Steve Jobs continued to ask.
"The copyright must be taken back." Ronan is very clear on this point: "Toy Story has been serialized, and "Finding Nemo" and "Monster Electric Company" can also be serialized. Now Disney's internal stability is unstable, and the future Years are our only opportunity."
Steve Jobs said: "There is a place where Pixar studios need to cooperate, you can let someone go to John and Ed.":
Ronan nodded slightly: "I will."
Steve Jobs suddenly changed the subject: "Ronan, we will have many common interests. I hope you will be a shareholder who supports me in Apple."
Everything about Apple once told Ronan that supporting Steve Jobs is the best choice for his investment interests.
"We are allies." Ronan said naturally.
Steve Jobs stopped talking about work, but said, "How many days do you plan to stay in India?"
Ronan replied casually: "Maybe I will stay for two more days."
Steve Jobs said again: "If you have time, you can come here to listen and have a look. It will bring people's hearts back to their purest state."
Ronan smiled: "This is not necessary."
Steve Jobs seemed to mean something: "Anything you do is actually showing your inner nature. This is the only reason for our existence."
Ronan did not answer the conversation, but said, "You are not in good health, so I won't bother for a long time."
Steve Jobs didn't want to stay, Ronan stood up to shake hands with him, probably in such a special environment, but Steve Jobs bowed his hands together.
Perhaps with the end of the business negotiations, Steve Jobs automatically switched back to the state of a devout believer.
Ronan didn't say anything any more and left directly.
He has heard how many people say that the Jobs and his wife are both devout believers. It is said that the two held a Buddhist wedding in 1991.
According to Mark Randolph, a senior Silicon Valley person: the wedding ceremony is so simple that it even smells of asceticism. When the guests and bride walk in, the incense is burning. There are no wedding bells, but the melody of Buddhist scriptures.
can only say that every successful person is paranoid in some way.
By the way, Ronan is also very paranoid. For example, he is as dedicated as Leonardo in terms of preferences.
Leaving this monastery, and declined John Lasseter to send him away, Ronan got in the car and returned to downtown Mumbai.
In the car, I talked to Connie about the specific content and asked Connie to notify Robert Iger to start the follow-up plan.
As the highest leader and actual control of the two companies, Ronan has reached a consensus with Steve Jobs, and the rest depends on the specific operations of Robert Iger.
Ronan returned to the hotel ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Confluence Candice Swanepoel, first went to a specialty restaurant for lunch, and took her around the business district and Bollywood after the break.
The two sides have reached a tacit understanding, Ronan swiped the card and bought her a lot of luxury goods.
Young girls always have special feelings for these things, for which they dare to pay an unimaginable price.
In addition, Ronan also asked George Clint to notify Michael Bay that the heroine of "Transformers" uses Candice Swanepoel.
Her acting skills are not the most outstanding, but she is also above the level, and the comprehensive audition effect is also in the first level, considering the appearance conditions of the sweet neighbor girl.
Ronan had already determined this, otherwise he would not send out an invitation.
The next morning, Steve Jobs came to the hotel to visit Ronan, and the two chatted for a longer time.
Ronan’s net worth and status are also a partner that Steve Jobs attaches great importance to.
