Chapter 248

Mark was outspoken and said, "I'm glad you have the heart to work for the company. With your equity, the vice president vacated by MM is simply the most suitable for you, but I'm afraid you won't accept it. Like egger, he has mastered large companies for more than ten years and has rich experience; Megan's acquisition of marvel, strongly promoted and purchased Colombia and MGM, and the results are obvious to all; as for me, I won't boast."

David was very happy when he heard what Mark said at the beginning, but he was very embarrassed. He gritted his teeth and said, "I can start from the lowest level. I want to do something for the company."

Mark said, "no! You are the eldest young master Ellison known all over the country. Can you imagine a mailroom delivery man with eight bodyguards? I can't do this. It will hit all shareholders in the face."

David was disappointed and said, "there's nothing for me in such a big company? I just want to do something for the company."

Mark said, "of course! I have a few things that are very suitable for you to do. If you can do it, you can sit as vice president. No one dares to say that you have nothing to do or that you are up by the back door."

David was overjoyed and said, "what's the matter? Kill and set fire?"

Mark said: "Now my company is in the process of restructuring. After the restructuring, mm group will have a distribution network and derivatives sales channels covering the whole world. When it comes to derivatives, it is naturally the derivatives of popular animation, while the animation departments of Colombia and MGM are not pro weak chickens. I hope you will pull over with Pixar studio whose Disney contract expires soon. This condition is easy to discuss 。”

It's not a day or two for mark to remember the big fat meat of Pixar studio. Now he has the opportunity to start, and he will never let it go.

As early as May 1991, Pixar took a historic step and became a partner with entertainment giant Disney, from snow white in 1937 to star silver island in 2002 Disney, which has always been the dominant position in animation, has created one classic animation after another. These films are hand-painted, but computers will integrate into the creation field of animation sooner or later. Therefore, Pixar signed an agreement with Disney to produce three long computer animation films, which will be distributed by Disney.

In seven years, Pixar reached a further agreement with Disney and decided to jointly produce five animated feature films.

However, after Pixar launched several big TV series, he was unwilling to be exploited by Disney. The commercial contradiction between Pixar, an emerging animation Empire, and Disney, an old traditional media empire, began to intensify. Since 2003, the two sides began to discuss the renewal of the contract, and Disney continued to have full power to distribute the animation produced by the latter. However, the negotiations broke down last January, mainly because at that time Disney CEO Michael and jobs couldn't pee in the same pot. The main reason is that the price issue was not agreed. Jobs once asked to share all the rights of the film with Disney, but Disney refused. The two sides fell out, so the two sides will terminate their cooperation after the release of "auto story" next June.

Now Michael is in a stable position and Taishan. With the temper of gang leader Joe, he will certainly not bird him. The two sides will basically not cooperate, and mark wants to take advantage of the opportunity to welcome pilk back.

David patted his heart and said, "there's a problem with wood. If Uncle Steve doesn't agree, I'll stay at his house."

Mark reminded: "David, you should know that you are the shareholder of mm and the future vice president. The conditions you convince Pixar to join will determine the income, which will affect everyone's view of you."

David said, "I see. I dare not take the position of vice president if I can't get real results."

Mark nodded with satisfaction and said, "I'm relieved you think so."

David said happily, "just leave it to me?"

Mark said, "also, I discussed with Robert that we intend to inject one billion dollars into Pingguo company, and you are responsible for the operation."

This is another big way for mark to make money.

David disapproved and said, "Pingguo company has something to do, that is, selling MP3 and MP4 to make some money. They don't have anything to do with their personal notebook computers. Recently, I heard that they are engaged in mobile phones. A person who makes computers and sells computers actually wants to sell mobile phones. It can be seen how cruel they are and how hungry they are."

If these words were recorded and released ten years later, the bear child would be ashamed to death. Mark didn't want to argue with him. He didn't understand it and said: "Pingguo's iPod touch is very popular, which is equivalent to a mobile theater. We have huge film resources in our hands. If we convert them into MP4 and provide payment and download online, you can take the iPod and watch several movies anytime and anywhere. Isn't that great? If the 2G network is upgraded to the legendary 3G, as long as you install an Internet chip in the iPod, you can Watching online means you can watch thousands of movies anytime, anywhere. Isn't that cool? "

David doubted: "but is it worth investing a billion? We can cooperate with them with our resources."

Mark thought that if you can control the equity of Pingguo company and sell your kidney and eggs, not to mention a mere billion, he explained: "you don't know the urination of those people in Pingguo board of directors. Typically, if you exchange rings, you don't need a priest. Only when we control the shares can we clamp them down."

This is to David's taste. Gang leader Qiao founded Pingguo in those years. Later, he was expelled from Pingguo company due to failure in decision-making.

In 1995, Pixar's stock was listed. On Thanksgiving the same year, Pixar was also the world's first fully computer-produced animated feature film toy story, which was released in quanmi (issued by Disney). The film broke the record of animated films at the box office of US $192 million and became the top box office in North America in 1995, It also created a box office record of 360 million US dollars around the world. The great success of the film also contributed to one thing. Joe Bangzhu, the boss of Pixar, was invited back by Pingguo company, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, because he was worth one billion US dollars at this time, and begged the veteran to restructure.

Faced with the humble invitation of Pingguo board of directors, gang leader Qiao was elated, but he still consulted his good friend Larry. At that time, Larry disagreed: "why do you want to help these people? Just buy Pingguo." at that time, they were motivated, but they gave up because the Internet technology crisis was coming soon, IPod is the masterpiece of Qiao Gang after returning to Pingguo.

David still had a question: "do you really think Pingguo has a head?"

Mark was tired of explaining to you that he would make you rich and explain to you that it was very sad. He said, "do you doubt my eyes?"

David hurriedly said, "no! I'll do it right away?"

Mark said: "one more thing, a company as big as Colombia has only a big selling series of spider man. It's too shabby. You see Warner's matrix, the Lord of the rings, Harry Potter, Paramount's Star Trek and professional secret service. I'm interested in the variant King Kong in DreamWorks The right of adaptation, if you can get it, I'm sure it will be made into another spider man. "

David drooled at Mark's words and said, "but will DreamWorks sell?"

Knowing that there was no one else in the office, Mark looked mysteriously from left to right, then approached and whispered, "I have an inside line at the top of DreamWorks. Their capital chain is broken and can't support it. They are discussing to sell it."

David exclaimed, "my God, I know they're having a hard time. They'll be so miserable."

Mark said, "if you take the check at this time, they will push you out of the door? David, I'm very optimistic about you. Your talent is very good. You're a material for doing big things. If you do these things, I guarantee you to be a vice president. Whoever dares to object is against me!"

David said, "OK! I did, but in what name should I contact each other?"

Mark said, "if I don't give you some sweets, you won't be motivated. You can contact them in the name of MM vice president, but if these three things can't be done well, I won't assign tasks to you in the future."

David gritted his teeth and said, "I did it, mark. Thank you for giving me a chance. I won't disappoint you."

Mark patted him on the shoulder and said, "I look after you. Don't disappoint me." mark left happily. Looking at his energetic appearance, he was ready to die.

The successful signing of the contract, as well as the staff meeting and meeting with local supervisors, brought the busy work to a temporary end. Egger advised mark to go back to rest. Mark was hard enough to put down his pregnant girlfriend and was busy working here.

When Mark saw that the matter at hand had come to an end, he readily agreed. He was also tired and missed Giselle more. He wanted to fly back to her. But these two days, egger and Megan, who didn't eat and live in the office? These senior management offices are equipped with a full set of living equipment, not pretend.

Mark drove home. It was 19 p.m. and Giselle had prepared a table of meals. Seeing Giselle cooked so many meals, mark was very happy. He kissed her hair and said, "you should have more rest. I'm very sorry."

Giselle said: "I understand that it's normal to be busy in M & A of such a large company. M & A of 10 billion enterprises is a myriad of things and extremely heavy work. Honey, I know you will succeed, but I'm proud of you for such a great success."

Mark sat down and wolfed down. He just ate a hamburger and pizza this noon. He saw Giselle didn't move and said, "what's the problem? Honey, now we have two people to eat. We should strengthen nutrition. Don't think about keeping fit and enduring hunger."

Giselle said, "I know. In fact, I have nothing to do at home. I always eat and drink. Today, I called home. My mother asked about our plans. I don't know how to answer her."
