Chapter 847 Paranoia Is Unwelcome
Frank Partnoy did not expect to meet another star manager here. While smiling wryly in his heart, he also stretched out his right hand with a smile.
Pixar has the idea of an IPO, which is great, although it's not a great company, and his boss is not ordinary. If not, there is no need for someone of his level to come here.
As for the guy in the neat suit opposite, he is also not a simple person, Ivor Martin, a senior fund manager at Goldman Sachs.
"Hi Ivory, nice to meet you."
"Me too, old man, you've been doing pretty well lately."
Seeing the two guys start bragging about each other's business, Qiao Dashen's face was dark. These two bastards seem to have forgotten that there is another guy next to them.
The tsundere Master Qiao thinks that the company is so awesome, bro, Oscars are just taken casually, you bastards, you should rush to give away the money.
It would be nonsense to say that he has no interest at all. If nothing else, just relying on the name of Master Qiao, he can exchange a lot of investment.
The two guys finally stopped blowing each other when Joe was about to explode, and naturally returned the right to speak to Steve Jobs.
"You two, this is an era of change. The movies you will see next are 100% done by computers."
"I'm looking forward to it, Steve, when will this movie be finished and who will be the distributor?"
"Ivor, we haven't confirmed the schedule yet, but it won't be beyond Thanksgiving at the latest. By the way, we invited Tom Hanks to voice."
The managers of the two investment banks looked at each other and made crosses in their hearts. Nima, that's the best actor at the Oscars, maybe it's the best actor twice in a row.
spendthrift.
"You two, our distribution will be undertaken by Disney. Mr. White hopes that it will be a summer release, but unfortunately, we still have some details to deal with here."
The two of them slandered again, you paranoid lunatic, if you have time to chat with us here, you might as well let these bastards go to work quickly.
Summer vacation, do you really understand what this means? In this way, William White should be very optimistic about this movie, or in other words, very optimistic about this guy.
The movie is good, this is the consensus of the two. They don't think Toy Story will be better than The Lion King, though. If there is a box office of 100 million yuan, it will be so-so and it will be paid back.
Ahem, as if that wasn't enough, Disney Distribution, this is a very greedy guy.
However, this is not important, as long as the box office can exceed 100 million, there is always a way to package and market. By the way, that William White still has a lot of shares, so it should be no problem to cooperate with each other.
The good mood of the two guys ended here. After reading Pixar's financial report, the faces of the two were not very good.
Nima, this is a big pit. For so many years, let alone making a profit, you just keep throwing money into it. Tsk tsk, I don't know if Old Qiao's pension has been burned.
The result of the negotiation is naturally not very good. The scramble that Steve expected did not come as promised. According to them, man, you at least have to let the shareholders see the hope of profit. Also, you are too dependent on Disney, which is not a good thing.
"Michael, Steve's talk broke?"
"Yes, boss, otherwise, let's directly incorporate it?"
"What are you talking about? Jobs was a paranoid man. You don't even have to think about it unless you have a dead end. Besides, a little competition is always good."
Michael Eisner curled his lips with disapproval. Pixar's brain is Lawrence, and no matter how talented this guy is, he is only one person. When it comes to IP resources, who can compare with Disney.
"Boss, it's too late for the summer vacation. Steve is a perfect paranoid. Originally, I thought that using computers to produce would reduce some costs, but now it seems that it is more expensive than traditional animated films."
"Michael, the movie is pretty good. As for paranoia, engineering dogs are like that. Hahaha, this guy must have tormented the two investment banks.
do you know? Michael, during the Apple road show, he almost got into a fight with the fund manager. Hahaha, hahaha, that scene scared me enough. "
Two unscrupulous bastards were smoking cigars while slandering God Qiao. Of course, they did not forget to complain about the two investment banks. Nima, why can't you be more tactful, the current old Qiao's glass heart is absolutely broken.
William White didn't intend to meddle in his own business, and fund managers were no good birds. Again, the buyer is the one who finds your shortcomings. Praise you like a flower, oh, let him try to invest, and he will never talk to you.
After Apple was successfully listed, those bastards immediately changed their faces. That feeling, I just have a good vision, see, this is a great company.
After being tossed about by these two things, Master Qiao was completely depressed. His intention is to use the IPO opportunity to build momentum for the film, and vice versa.
It has to be said that this is standard Internet thinking, and Lao Qiao's insight in this area cannot be compared with those of the so-called star fund managers.
Perhaps, those bastards also understood that they just ignored it on purpose. Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are not ordinary brokerages, if possible, they would like to participate in it. Investment banks of this level don't care about the high commissions you think.
Not having any friends is very scary. In such a big Hollywood and Silicon Valley, the only person who can be regarded as a friend with him is Larry Ellison.
William White?
This guy doesn't count. I cheated Old Qiao once at Apple. If possible, Master Qiao would not cooperate with this guy.
Yes, selling stocks ahead of time and getting out of the game is a betrayal in the eyes of Old Joe.
"Steve, your thinking may be wrong. I said, why are you looking for two big investment banks? The only thing they want to do is to swallow you up in one bite, right?"
"This group of bastards, I thought, they would not do this if they arranged two of them at the same time."
"Steve, you don't have my experience. If you have, you will know how powerful those guys are."
"Oh, William White?"
"You are wrong, Steve. Although he is not a good bird, he is capable and has enough courage. If I change to another investment bank, I will not have any chance."
"I know Larry, it looks like he needs to find another investment bank, these bloody vampires."
Larry Ellison curled his lips. He was also quite unconvinced at the time, and he was kicked out of the company in the same way. You Jobs is even worse, basically you are swept out of the house.
Although William White paid attention to the development of Pixar, he did not intend to intervene. Why Old Joe can keep his promise at Apple, his experience at Pixar is very important.
When he was kicked out of Apple, Joe only had one share of Apple stock left. Those he held later were all given by the board of directors.
Tsk tsk, this is not an ordinary equity incentive. The most important thing is that Apple's board of directors is very weird, even if you have 5% of the stock in your hand, they can still leave you aside.
Leaving aside these things for the time being, he has to talk to William White about the movie schedule and IPO.
Why does Old Joe have a problem with William White?
This guy is really too stingy. William White said that he wanted to engage in equity incentives, and Old Joe immediately thought that this guy had ulterior motives.
Nima, after the IPO, do I still have control over the company? At that time, if he is kicked out by his own company again, he will really be ashamed to see others.
