Chapter 39: The tech world is Steve's true love

As soon as Paul left, Steve arrived on the back.

"Tell him to meet in half an hour."

Xu Ang rubbed his brows, and the life that he ushered in didn't let anyone take a breath.

Well, the word welcome is not used in the right place, but as a person who has been deducted two points in the Chinese test paper of the college entrance examination, it is normal to occasionally use the wrong word.

"I haven't checked in today, do you want to check in every day? You will receive random rewards for daily check in."

"Sign in."

"Sign in successfully and get a random reward: an abandoned factory in Detroit."

Detroit, the city of automobiles, is a city that was once brilliant and is now in decline. A large number of factories went bankrupt and abandoned, resulting in the unemployment of a large number of workers, which brought the decline of the entire city and the deterioration of public security.

Such a city, its factories—and still abandoned, of limited value.

As far as the sign-in reward is concerned, today's daily sign-in random reward is not good, but it reminded Xu Ang and made Xu Ang think about it seriously.

The hundred-footed worm is dead but not dead. Detroit is prosperous because of the auto industry, and it declines because of the same reason. Although it is an old industrial city, its foundation is still there.

Does it need to be considered?

After thinking about it carefully, Xu Ang did not make a decision. To be familiar with the United States, he had to be local people like Hendry and Steve.

Half an hour later, Xu Ang walked into the conference room he rented in the hotel, and he saw Steve at a glance.

Compared to the gang leader Qiao in memory, Steve was much younger at this time, with a gloomy look between his brows, it could be seen that his life was not very good.

Even people like Gang Master Qiao can't hide their despair when they are at a low point in their lives.

Xu Ang nodded secretly, it was right to be down, otherwise how would he convince him.

"Hello, Mr. Steve, my name is Xu Ang, from China, you can call me Xu."

"Hello, Xu. I'm Steve. I have to say, you're surprisingly young."

When the two met, they did not discuss directly, but went through the procedure. After a few greetings, they began to get to the point.

"To be honest, Steve, you actually played animated movies, which surprised me. In my impression, you are the founder of the Big Banana Boat, and it is under your management that the brilliance of the Big Banana Boat is born. , not letting Bill's Microsoft family dominate."

Steve couldn't see anything different on his face, he responded to Xu Ang with "I need to try more possibilities in life".

It sounds very free and easy, only he knows whether it is really free and easy.

"With all due respect, Bill is leading Microsoft to legend, his name is being known all over the world, and leaving the big banana boat to try more possible you, Steve, your name is being forgotten ."

"It won't be long before people are asked about Steve and they'll just say blankly: Who is that?"

"Or maybe after thinking for a long time before answering: the guy who was kicked out of the company he founded."

Hit people without slapping their faces, and swearing without exposing them. Xu Ang exposed Steve's scar in this way, and the latter's face became ugly. Xu Ang didn't stop, he was still talking.

"People, like capital, are forgetful. They will soon forget your past successes and only see your present failures. They will say, it's not you Steve who made the big banana boat, but the big banana The boat makes you."

"What, am I right? So, have you ever had any success after leaving the big banana boat?"

Forcibly restraining the anger that was about to burst out, Steve looked into Xu Ang's eyes and said word by word, "I'm on the road to success."

"What do you use to succeed?" Xu Ang sneered, "Just rely on this "Toy Story"? Come on, Steve, don't deceive yourself anymore, as far as I know, even within Peak, no one is optimistic about it. As its producer, it's all this attitude, and I don't think I need to say more."

"If I wasn't optimistic about it, I wouldn't be preparing for Peak to go public. Since you've investigated it, you should know that Peak will be launched at the same time as "Toy Story" is released under my arrangement."

Raising his index finger and shaking it, Xu Ang ruthlessly exposed Steve: "That's just business thinking, not that you're really optimistic about it."

Getting the movie and the studio to go public at the same time was a big gamble for Steve.

The movie was a big hit, and he made a lot of money, so he was able to turn around and swept away the slump that he had suffered after many battles and defeats after leaving the big banana boat.

The movie is on the street...the movie is on the street, and the last desperate effort has failed. What can we talk about in the future?

Don't ask why Xu Ang could see through Steve's thoughts, that is what he himself exposed as the leader of the Qiao Gang in later generations. Back then Steve had already achieved success, and the limelight had overtaken Bill, and he didn't care, but now it's completely different.

From Xu Ang's expression and the tone of voice Steve knew, this young man from China really saw through his own thoughts, instead of talking nonsense. This made Steve very uncomfortable and made him passive.

When he came, Steve was full of confidence, and regarded Xu Ang as a mediocrity who had a good hand but couldn't hold back. He was confident that he could solve the copyright issue perfectly. He never thought that things were completely different from what he thought. The reason why Xu Ang would take the initiative to contact him was not that he couldn't hold back his breath, but that he saw through his own background and was not worried about playing tricks at all.

How could this young man named Xu Ang be so good, he is almost as good as me when he was young.

When Steve frowned, Xu Ang did not pursue aggressively. He winked at Hendry, who put a stack of documents in front of Steve.

"Let's take a look at this first. I believe that as the founder of the big banana boat, you should understand what it means."

The content of the document made Steve's heart skip a beat, and even with his skill, he couldn't restrain it from showing on his face.

As Xu Ang said, he knows what this means, and no one in the entire United States understands it better than him.

"I have patents or long-enough licenses for all technologies. You don't have to worry about the related equipment. Mr. Paul will handle them. That's right, it's the Paul you thought of."

Closing the document and holding it firmly in his hand, Steven asked Xu Ang, "What do you want?"

"I want to find a good enough helm for my new company. So, what's your choice?"

Without answering Xu Ang's question immediately, Steve just asked, "How will the initial equity be allocated?"

"I can handle technology, equipment, venues, and funds, so I account for 90%, and your ability is worth 10% of the shares."

Steve disagreed: "Too little."

Now it's just the initial equity, so he only holds 10% After rounds of dilution, how much will he have left?

He suffered a big loss when he was in the big banana boat. He would never make the same mistake again, and Steve would never give him another chance to kick him away.

"My powers in the company are entrusted to you, and this can be written into the contract. Of course, if you really insist on more shares, I can give you another 5%, but you have to come up with real money."

Steve was in a hurry.

You are convinced that I have no money now... well, I really have no money now.

Wrinkling his brows, Steve came to his mind, and he pointedly said, "Hong Kong Island's status in world films has already been overtaken and surpassed by Hollywood. The film industry in mainland China has just started, and the entertainment industry has great potential."

"Looks like you know, as expected of Steve."

Xu Ang was a little annoyed.

Steve was taken aback for a moment, what did I know about me?

"Yes, there is indeed a director from China and a Chinese actor among my companions." Xu Ang admitted generously, "Hollywood's model and mature system have greatly helped China's film development. It is said that Hollywood Open, but I feel they are unusually exclusive, in order to successfully enter Hollywood, Peak Studios is indeed my chosen breakthrough."

A smile finally appeared on Steve's face: "I think we can discuss this matter, everyone can get what they need, what do you mean, Xu?"

Some people smile on their faces, while others smile in their hearts.

As Xu Ang thought, the entertainment industry is just a helpless choice after successive failures, and the technology industry is Steve's true love. All he wanted to do was to prove himself again, and to present a drama of the return of the king for the guys who swept him out of the house.
