Vol 5 Chapter 984: Make a choice

In Manhattan, seeing that Iger finally jumped, and finally took the scene, Cummins suddenly settled down. Hehe, it seems that this time, he really touched Disney's seven inches.

That's great!

"Acquisition of Pixar? Why? Why?" Iger was anxious, and he didn't care about it.

"Why? Why is this? We want to buy," Iger said like that, and Cummins responded very lazily.

"As for why, you know the relationship between Feng and Jobs," Cummins said playfully, "I can tell a little bit. Jobs has more than once and is very willing to accept Feng's criticism."

Aiger's expression at this time can be described as mixed.

Can Jobs accept Feng Yiping's criticism? If it is true, it is enough to show that their relationship is really very unusual.

But the relationship between their Disney and Jobs, let alone a harmonious relationship, is not even a good life now.

This is naturally mainly because of Eisner.

That guy really didn't have any idea of ​​the overall situation. He didn't say it in private, and he criticized Jobs in public and semi-public on more than once.

If Jobs didn't return to Apple, that would be fine. Jobs who would be called a downfall, even his reputation in the high-tech circle is not very good.

After leaving Apple, his personal strength and influence are naturally declining.

Relying on the rapidly developing Disney behind him, Eisner would despise him a few words, and Jobs was upset and could not help it.

But the current Jobs, who is that job?

Ever since I was invited back by Apple as the savior again, especially after the successful release of the iPod and the launch of itunes, it was also a great success, which means that Apple can make money even lying down...

Jobs's current reputation is more prosperous than before.

So that he can now criticize his old opponents in public, and Bill Gates, who borrowed money to help Apple weather the financial crisis when he just returned.

And there are a lot of users who support his remarks.

To say that Microsoft has become more and more arrogant over the years. Although everyone has to use their products, if you like it, you really can’t talk about it.

As for those entrepreneurs, they are even more angry with Microsoft, which has almost monopolized all opportunities.

But for the current Apple, everyone likes it.

In other words, from insiders to consumers, everyone actually implicitly acknowledged Steve Jobs's status as a "helper" in the high-tech circle.

Under such circumstances, Eisner publicly criticized Steve Jobs several times. How could it be Steve Jobs' temperament?

Jobs now is not Spielberg, or Lucas, who Eisner once fought.

As a result, the two originally cooperated so well and their interests were so closely linked. However, because Eisner did not handle the personal relationship with Jobs properly, the cooperation negotiations between Disney and Pixar, which were connected, had no chance to proceed.

But Pixar is particularly important to Disney now. How important is it?

Without Pixar, Disney would immediately become an ordinary company in the field of animated feature film production, or a second-rate company that is inferior to DreamWorks, but this is only one of them.

More importantly, Iger, who is aspiring to be the head of Disney, has also deliberately studied that in the current Disneyland, those cartoon characters are very few from Disney's recent cartoon characters, and a large part of the new cartoon characters , All from Pixar.

If the cooperation with Pixar fails, if Feng Yiping acquires Pixar, how much does Disney have to pay for the copyright?

And how much adverse effect will this fact have on Disney's reputation?

Seeing Iger sitting there stiffly, but his eyes kept turning, Cummins added with a smile.

"This is work and life. Jobs and Laurenna have a very close relationship with Feng. Let's put it this way, they will even give Feng some advice on mate selection or parenting."

In public, Jobs and Eisner have been so miserable, let alone in private.

In private, they won't meet at all. Of course, if they meet, it should be even more headache. Who can guarantee that the two of them, these two big men with extensive influence in the United States and the world business community, will not Will it fight?

But Feng Yiping actually had such a good relationship with the Jobs family in life.

In the United States, if one person gives advice to another person's life, then there is no doubt that their relationship is definitely not ordinary.

With regard to these two points, Jobs would be happy to talk to Feng Yiping about the ownership of Pixar, which is not his main business now.

But wait, Iger seemed to have thought of something, he looked at Cummins.

Cummins shook his head, "Their suggestions are naturally for Feng's future. Feng is still so young, so where is this useful?"

His face is so gossip about you at such a time, it really has your expression.

"Hehe," Iger said with a dry smile, his old face was a little red, yeah, why am I still concerned about these issues at this time?

He shook his head mockingly.

Little did he know that when he shook his head, Cummins wiped off his sweat quietly, and I went, a little overwhelmed, and almost brought out the fact that Feng already had a child.

"In addition, there is another very important point. At present, our cash reserves are very abundant." In order to prevent Iger from noticing his own anomaly, he quickly turned to the next topic.

"You know, how to find a good place for the funds in the account is also a thing that worries me. If it is used to acquire Pixar, it is obviously a good idea."

Iger looked at Cummins rather irritably. Can you not show off so much?

As one of Nextdoor’s partners, you can roughly figure out Nextdoor’s current financial status from how much money your company gave to Nextdoor.

Besides, they put so many advertisements.

In the field of online advertising, they have easily surpassed Yahoo, becoming second only to Google.

Their projects, in addition to Tesla and faebook, are currently burning money, including youtube, are currently making a lot of money, saying that the funds are abundant, it should be true and not a lie.

If it is to acquire a giant like AOL, which requires tens of billions of dollars in projects, Iger believes that Disney will have an advantage, but Pixar’s projects with a maximum of six to seven billion dollars, in terms of funding, Disney and nextdoor, also There really is no difference.

Considering the composition of the nextdoor board of directors, there will definitely be more flexible, greater, and more advantageous than our own.

But, of course, you have to find a reason to fight back. This will be a little arrogant~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Cummins, who feels too good to be self-conscious, "Do you think that Jobs only focuses on Pixar. How much direct benefit can he bring?"

Cummins took a deep look at Iger, and that vision made Iger quite unhappy, because he was clearly an old-fashioned senior, looking at the eyes of a fledgling Xiaobai.

That is, Aiger was despised.

"You have to be clear, this is an acquisition of at least $5 billion or more," Cummins said lightly.

Iger's face was red again.

Yes, this is an acquisition project of at least $5 billion.

In such acquisitions, it is not uncommon for the quotations to differ by 10%.

That is, the difference of funds here easily exceeds 500 million US dollars.

Even if there is no difference of 10%, that is, a difference of 5%, there is a gap of more than 250 million US dollars.

Iger believes that Jobs should pay attention to the impact of this acquisition on his reputation. He is not good at giving the public the impression that he only depends on the amount of money.

However, if the gap is at least several hundred million, he believes that Jobs has every reason not to care about possible negative effects.

Aiger will not take hundreds of millions of dollars, and the possible negative effects, to let Jobs make a choice, it is like trying to see if a cat will eat fish.

Not to mention hundreds of millions, it is tens of millions, even a businessman like Jobs will definitely make a practical choice without hesitation.

What's more, if he gives Pixar to Feng Yiping instead of Disney, will it definitely have a negative impact on him?

Really not, Feng Yiping is currently a very popular figure, and everyone believes that as long as he wants to do, there is nothing to do badly.

"Then Iger, what do you have to say?" Cummins asked. 10
