    "Okay, I will discuss this matter with me. We must get a satisfactory result. We must not let everyone's hard work go to waste, but the fruits of victory are picked by others. Let the despicable Disney company go to hell!"

    Wang Yaocheng agreed without hesitation, and put some eye drops for Disney by the way, without any psychological burden.

    The current Disney company is also very difficult to operate. It is at a low ebb in its career, and its market value has not yet reached tens of billions of dollars.

    ? If the history has not changed:

    Thirteen years later, Disney Corporation acquired Pixar Animation in the form of gift shares. This merger with a total value of 7.4 billion US dollars used up 13% of Disney's shares.

    Calculated in this way, in 2006, the market value of Disney was about 60 billion U.S. dollars, far from being an unshakable behemoth in later generations, with a value of hundreds of billions of U.S. dollars.

    ? Seeing Wang Yaocheng readily agree, Jobs felt very happy. It seems that his original vision was correct, and this partner is really reliable.

    It is very difficult to deal with Disney. This old company has worked hard in the animation field for hundreds of years and has already refined itself.

    During the negotiation, it may be very difficult for Disney to give up the benefits that are at its fingertips without offering some sweetness.

    This is Wang Yaocheng's intentional gesture of favor. As long as he can win the favor of Mr. Jobs, he can get back a hundred times and a thousand times as much profit as he throws out.

    For the first time, I agreed to take a stake in Knicks Animation without any hesitation, and I agreed without any counter-offer.

    The second time was to agree to make a move, to confront Disney head-on for the benefit of Pixar animation, and to try its best to gain benefits for Pixar animation.

    ? Although there are shareholder factors in it, Mr. Jobs still feels the goodwill released by Wang Yaocheng.

    "Mr. Jobs, as a senior in the electronic technology industry and the best collaborator, I really want to get your help."

    "Oh! About what?"

    "I want to hire a team of lawyers who can serve the employer wholeheartedly, with strong professional qualities, to provide Red Hat with a package of legal services in civil, criminal, taxation, patents, etc., so I would like to ask you to introduce it."

    This is not asking Jobs for help, it is purely another show of favor, even if it is the third show of favor, to send him a huge favor.

    As a listed company with a market capitalization of more than 8 billion U.S. dollars, Red Hat¡¯s legal service fee is by no means a small number, which involves millions or even tens of millions of U.S. dollars in lawyer fees every year.

    Even if you are working in a top law firm, if you can win such a lucrative business, it is no problem to upgrade to a partner of a law firm.

    As a well-known entrepreneur in the technology and animation industries, Mr. Jobs certainly does not lack lawyer friends, and he has many.

    He thought about it rigorously, and said: "There are indeed a few suitable candidates. Let me go back and think carefully, and I will reply to you within a week."

    "Three days, the original team of lawyers has been fired by me, and if it takes too long, it will affect the operation of the company."

    Mr. Jobs was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "Hehehe, so that's the case. I will definitely reply to you within three days."

    After visiting the Pixar animation, a convoy of four Hummers drove non-stop towards San Francisco, and arrived at the destination at around 3:00 pm:

    Hilton Hotel

    Mr. Merck's private party is held in the evening, and it is not too late to arrive at eight o'clock after dark. It will be too late to return to Silicon Valley after attending the party, so we have to stay in the hotel.

    In a luxurious business suite

    This is a top-level suite with an area of ??150 square meters. It has a spacious and luxurious living room. There are two standard rooms in the outer suite. The kitchen bar is fully equipped and serves a variety of top-notch wines.

    Inside the suite is a very large master bedroom with a separate luxurious bathroom.

    Wang Yaocheng waved his hand: "Okay, let's wash up and take a rest. I have a guest coming here soon, and you have to be a guest entertainer."

    "Then let the unlucky Tom come. His image is suitable, and it's okay to pretend to be a girl. As long as the Hollywood scouts don't find out, we can keep this guy." Harrison pushed Tom out casually.

    "Hehehe, Harrison is right, let the staff officer also help entertain later, and the others will be in charge of guarding in shifts, so they all take a short break to recharge their batteries."

    Captain Liu Zhenxiong made an arrangement, and everyone took turns to go to other rooms on the floor to freshen up and change clothes according to the arrangement.

    It is required to wear to participate in private parties of high societyp;In 1990, Time Inc., a media giant, acquired Warner Bros., a veteran Hollywood film company, and established Time Warner Media, which spans the fields of film and television and media.

    Just this year, in 1993, the entertainment giant Viacom, which made its fortune in operating theater chains, launched an acquisition of Paramount Pictures, and is currently in fierce see-saw negotiations with the management.

    Paramount Pictures is the last major independent film company in Hollywood, and the others have long been famous and belonged to major international entertainment and media groups.

    The influence of the eight major Hollywood film companies is too great, and Wang Yaocheng can turn his target to small and medium-sized film companies. This way, the choice will be much wider, the influence will be correspondingly much smaller, and the resistance will also be much smaller.

    ? According to the news received by Wang Yaocheng, New Line Film Company, which will shine in the future, is in contact with the entertainment giant Time Warner, seeking acquisition from the other party.

    If nothing else, New Line Films will be acquired by Time Warner for $550 million.

    Now that the deal has not been reached, is there any article to do here?

    The reason why Wang Yaocheng spends so much money is that he has too much cash in hand. If he does not spend all the money, he will have to pay a huge amount of income tax according to the federal and state tax laws of the United States. The sum of the two amounts to as high as  45% of total cash.

    ? In the equity transfer transaction of 8% of Netscape with Microsoft Corporation, Wang Yaocheng received 604 million US dollars. Because it was an off-site transaction of the major shareholder, all this huge amount of money fell into his pocket.

    Excluding Microsoft's purchase of 8-inch fab equipment, the funds and labor bills paid in advance are 468 million U.S. dollars, and Wang Yaocheng personally holds 136 million in cash. If this part of the income is not spent, it will be taxed.

    There is also more than 700 million cash piled up in Netscape's accounts, which will not be used within a certain period of time, and it will also need to pay federal taxes.

    From this point of view, the tax laws of the United States encourage companies and individuals to invest in consumption, even if it is loan consumption, they are all encouraged by taxation.

    Holding cash is an extremely uneconomical choice and must be spent as soon as possible.

    From Wang Yaocheng's heart, he has the invincible memory of rebirth. In 1993, Europe and the United States are full of investment opportunities, so there is no need to worry about the money being spent, even if it is a happy investment.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
