Chapter 5: Pixar Animation Studios
Zhu Ke went to the bank for a mortgage, but it was also helpless.
There is really no money!
There is only less than 100,000 U.S. dollars left in the account. Let alone go to Pixar Animation to talk about cooperation, it is estimated that the decoration of the seven movie shops around it will cost hundreds of thousands of U.S. dollars.
Acquaintances know the road, this time Zhu Ke still chose Wells Fargo's Los Angeles branch.
"Mr. Wald, you are welcome to visit again!"
The senior manager of the loan department of the branch, the first person in charge, Smith Qiaomei, is directly responsible for Zhuke's contact.
The attitude is surprisingly good.
It's coffee and snacks again, don't want to be warm and enthusiastic. Can the attitude be bad? For Wells Fargo today, customers with millions of dollars are definitely big customers.
"Then I will make a long story short, this time I want to borrow at least 3 million US dollars!" Zhu Ke went straight in.
3 million dollars?
As soon as these words came out, Smith Qiaomei was immediately surprised!
This figure is placed in Citibank, the amount is not large, but for Smith, who is the manager of the loan department of the branch, it is not small.
can even be called a huge amount.
Wells Fargo Bank, if placed in 2020, it will definitely be a behemoth.
Its deposits exceed 1.8 trillion U.S. dollars, and the bank's market value exceeds 200 billion U.S. dollars. Bank outlets are all over North America, and there are many around the world. However, the current Wells Fargo Bank has a market value of only 480 million US dollars, and it is just a small shrimp in the entire American banking industry.
"Yes, it's 3 million dollars."
Zhuke finished speaking, and emphasized: "If it doesn't work, then we won't be able to cooperate this time."
"This... Mr. Wald, please allow me to make a call. After all, the amount is huge, I hope you can understand." Smith Chowmy gritted his teeth.
"Okay, then I will wait for your good news."
Zuke is not in a hurry, picking up coffee, eating snacks, worth millions, and happy. Seeing Smith leave, Zhuke's heart also became active.
"It's a pity that I don't have any money now. Otherwise, investing in Wells Fargo now is definitely a huge profit."
Zhu Ke is not tempted. Wells Fargo’s market value of US$480 million will grow to more than US$200 billion in the future, a full increase of more than four hundred times, which is not huge.
That is to say, invest 1 million US dollars now, and by 2020, it will be worth more than 400 million US dollars!
Get rich!
"Damn, it's so nice to travel through it's gold everywhere!"
"There is also this broken system, it is simply a pit!"
"What use do you think you have? Why not a daily money delivery system? Luxury homes, yachts, and airplanes are delivered free of charge. That's great and powerful."
"Occasionally provide some future information, there is a fart."
Obviously, Zhu Ke, in his excitement, had already forgotten the news about the Netscape listing and Pixar Animation Studio that the system had provided him.
【Host, have no conscience! 】System Tucao.
Zucker·Crazy-hearted·Wald.
Five days later.
Zuke visits Wells Fargo's Los Angeles branch again.
Under the witness of the lawyer, I signed the loan contract very happily.
The contract involves a total amount of US$2.4 million, of which seven store mortgages are US$2 million, and there is a personal credit loan of US$400,000; the time limit is 3 years, and the interest rate is 3 points lower than the previous loan, which is 9%, which means Every year, Zucker would return US$216,000 to the bank, for a total of US$648,000 in three years.
black!
really black!
"Lao Tzu will also buy a bank in the future and let his bank lend himself a loan!"
Zuke·Don’t even want to make me money·Wald, go online again.
Actually, Zhu Ke took it too much for granted, or said that his legal consciousness was a little bit worse. I don’t know if my bank can lend to a company under my name, and um, connected transactions are not okay.
Tucao returns to Tucao, but I still admire the courage of Wells Fargo Bank. No wonder I did so much later.
This is Zhu Ke's ignorance of finance. If he understands, I would admire it even more. You know, in the global subprime mortgage crisis in 2008, investment banks such as Citigroup, ****, Goldman Sachs lost a lot of money, the amount is calculated in 100 billion U.S. dollars, and Wells Fargo is able to grow against the current.
······
The next time, Zhu Ke contacted a decoration company, um, the cheaper one.
After paying 200,000 US dollars for the renovation, I began to plan the renovation. The average cost of decoration for each of the seven stores is less than US$30,000. It must be said that Zhu Ke was in the entertainment industry in his previous life, and he was frantically calculating.
The decoration of the store cannot be said to be extremely simple, but it is definitely a very ordinary decoration.
August 28, 1995, 8 am.
California, Alami D County.
Zhuke made an appointment and arrived at Pixar Animation Studio on time.
"Good morning, Mr. Lasseter," Zucker said.
"On behalf of Pixar Animation, I very much welcome Mr. Wald."
Lasseter said enthusiastically.
I have to say that the person responsible for hosting Zhuke in Pixar animation is John Lasseter, the chief director of the "Toy Story" series and the head of the future Pixar Five Tigers.
Seeing that the person in charge of the reception was him, Zhu Ke was not surprised.
It is not Zhuke kneeling and licking, it is that John Lasseter will be famous in the future. In the field of animation in the world, his name is the most famous one.
Absolute anime god!
The small table lamp in the opening of the Pixar animated film is from Lasseter's creativity.
In the future, the Pixar Five Tigers will win the Oscar for Best Animation Award, the soft-handed character, which one is not famous, and the Pixar Five Tigers will all win the Oscar lifetime honor award in the future. "Toy Story", "Cars", "Finding Nemo", "The Incredibles", "The Flying House", "Home Alone", etc., which one is not from their creativity?
These 3D animation movies have not only madly harvested the box office around the world, but also the income in the surrounding areas is several times, even dozens of times, the box office.
Especially "Cars"!
Its peripheral profits exceed one billion US dollars every year. Together with "Little Pig Peppa", it is called the most profitable animation.
Billion dollars? !
Per year? !
"If it were all mine, it would be great."
Thinking about it, Zhuke's eyes were red. Go to Nima's entertainment industry logistics supervisor, go to his mother's 70 square meter house, this life I will make a lot of money!
is a little bit ashamed. UU reading www.uukanshu. com
is a little middle and second-year boy.
is a little arrogant.
So what, who can't live with money, especially billions of dollars of wealth.
"Mr. Wald, are you all right."
John Lasseter looked at Zhuke strangely. It was really Zhuke who was now...excited.
"Uh, it's all right, let's go in, let's go in and talk." Zhu Ke concealed his embarrassment.
ashamed!
is really embarrassing!
"It's still too little experience in the big scene." Zhu Ke was secretly annoyed.
After entering the Pixar Animation Studio, Zhu Ke is full of expectations. It is said that the environment and atmosphere of the Pixar Animation Studio is the world's first. It integrates playgrounds, homes and other elements into one, making people feel happy while working. , This is also the reason why Pixar gang hangs out.
"This...This is your studio?!"
Zhuke was stunned, what he saw in front of him was completely different from what he imagined.
In a small, messy working environment, animation designers with messy hair and growing beards are just a bunch of IT dogs.
"I made you laugh, haha."
John Lasseter looked very embarrassed: "Our environment is a bit worse now, but I believe that when "Toy Story" is released, Pixar will surely resound all over the world!"
As he talked, Lasseter became more excited.
"it's okay no problem."
Zhuke is extremely generous, but it's not like that in his heart.
"Great, great, the more difficult you are now, the more sure I will be, and I can save a lot of money, hehe."
