Chapter 382 Steve Jobs
A romantic evening, the relationship between Bruce and Charlize Theron has been sublimated again, and their feelings for each other have further heated up!
"Bruce, is this fried egg okay?" Charlize Theron asked nervously.
In order to further surprise Bruce, Charlize Theron, after consulting a lot of information, suddenly discovered a unique habit of Chinese people!
Even though Chinese food has amazing dishes, for breakfast they only love things that Charlize has never heard or seen!
For example, those strange fried foods and some cakes made of flour, which gave Charlize Theron a headache!
In the end, after being overwhelmed, she could only carefully serve Bruce's breakfast with a fried egg and milk!
Feeling the half-baked egg liquid in his mouth, a hint of doting flashed in Bruce's eyes, and he ate it with relish!
After seeing Bruce's appearance, Charlize Theron finally let out a sigh of relief!
After enjoying a loving breakfast, Bruce and Charlize Theron cleaned themselves up, and they drove to the headquarters of Miracle Entertainment together!
Cole Chris looked at the fat man in front of the desk with a smile, and couldn't help thinking secretly about the identity of the other party!
As the CEO of Apple and the boss of Pixar, Steve Jobs used his cunning style and a series of clever operations to make both companies a great success!
Especially his achievements in Apple, as they developed a large number of technological and convenient digital products, they finally gradually stepped out of the shadow of the previous financial turmoil!
Today, in order to obtain financial support from Bruce, Steve Jobs came in person to show his sincerity!
"Mr. Cole, you know, Mr. Bruce's investment in Apple has entered a state of profitability. Judging from our current operating conditions, we will have a bright future!"
Cole still looked at Jobs' smooth talk with a smile, and said leisurely, "Mr. Steve, you know that Bruce is not here often, so."
"Uh." A trace of embarrassment flashed across Jobs' face, and he said nonchalantly, "Of course, I really admire Mr. Bruce's love for the NBA!"
When the two were arguing with each other, as Bruce "rudely" pushed the door in, all four showed surprise expressions!
"Hey, buddy, why are you here?" Cole stood up with surprise on his face, walked two steps to Bruce and the two of them, and hugged him firmly in his arms!
Jobs, being extremely gentleman, did not bother the two of them, but immediately stood up and nodded to Charlize Theron with a smile!
"Wow, look who this is?" Cole excitedly pushed Bruce away, saw that he was still in good spirits, and punched him lightly: "In your absence, to be honest, I still I really miss it!"
"Dude, there are still guests here!" Bruce had already spotted Jobs, and now he interrupted Cole's narration, and looked at Jobs with a smile: "Mr. Steve, your appearance is really surprising." !"
"Mr. Bruce, as one of Apple's shareholders, don't you think you are a bit dereliction of duty?" Jobs said jokingly, and then walked towards Bruce!
The two shook hands, and Jobs smiled and hugged Charlize Theron gently: "Hello, beautiful lady!"
"Hi, Mr. Steve, I am very excited to meet you in person!" Charlize Theron said with a smile, and then stood quietly aside!
Afterwards, as the four of them sat down in the built-in lounge in Cole's office, Bruce couldn't help asking with some doubts: "Mr. Steve, why did you appear here?"
Seeing Bruce looking at him, Cole shrugged helplessly, and then Jobs started another round of his speech!
"Sorry, Mr. Bruce, I should go to Oakland to find you, but after I made an appointment with your team, they told me that you have come to Los Angeles, so." Jobs shrugged and continued with a smile: "This time I came to you, I want to talk to you about something!!"
Hearing what Jobs said, Charlize Theron nodded apologetically to him, and then whispered something in Bruce's ear, and then under Bruce's helpless shrug, she smiled and nodded to Cole. , This is ready to leave here!
"Wow, I haven't seen Charlize for a long time. I want to ask some questions about the movie, sorry!" Cole stood up in a timely manner, and he was obviously not interested in the conversation between the two!
Seeing that Cole and Charlize Theron both left, Bruce was completely helpless for their "avoidance"!
"You have two amazing friends!" Jobs said with admiration.
Bruce smiled indifferently, and then poured whiskey for the two of them: "Steve, can you tell me what it is?"
Since Apple released their new operating system MacOSX in 01, this high-tech company has really led a huge trend!
With the gradual recovery of the computer market, Apple can finally breathe a long sigh of relief!
However, at the beginning of this year, because of a series of technologies and the popularity of IPOD music players, coupled with the market's demand for other high-tech digital products, Apple's funds suddenly became a little tight!
In order to obtain a large amount of financial support, Jobs removed the "small amount" of support from the remaining shareholders after convening the board of directors, so he had no choice but to appeal to those shareholders!
However, after Apple experienced the technology stock bubble, with these "small" funds, it is obviously unable to continue to support the development and expansion of some new products!
After listening to Jobs' helpless narration, Bruce couldn't help but burst into ecstasy!
As we all know, Apple's future has horrific developments, especially in the mobile digital and further development of the PC, making them suddenly become the company with the largest (apparent) cash reserves in the world!
And now that Jobs suddenly visited, it was as if Jobs handed over a large amount of funds into his hands. No one refused to accept the US dollars, and Bruce did the same!
"Steve, you know, although I have a lot of money in my hands, I am still skeptical about your plan and a series of questions!" Bruce said "righteously", and then Jobs With a somewhat disappointed expression, he changed the topic: "However, with your return, I will regain my confidence in this company!"
"Aha, your decision is so exciting!!" Jobs excitedly picked up his cup and drank it in one gulp. Thinking of those short-sighted minority shareholders before, a sneer flashed in his eyes, he was extremely serious, with a little encouragement. Said: "If you have full confidence in our company, why don't you increase your own shares?"
Hearing Jobs' playful tone, Bruce couldn't help but wonder!
"You know, those so-called small shareholders have been eager to dispose of their shares since the company started to improve. If you are interested in these shares, I will be more than happy to match you up!" Jobs said in his eyes. A flash of light flashed, looking at Bruce with great anticipation!
Composed of cash shares in Apple, excluding the big heads held by Jobs and Wozniak, nearly 1% of the shares are in the hands of these small shareholders who are ready to sell their shares!
According to the financial report and shareholding structure list released by Apple in 2011, these shares will bring Bruce a value of nearly US$50 billion,
Of course, if these shares are added to his own 0%, then he will become the most exciting individual shareholder of personal wealth!
Suddenly an astonishing light flashed in Bruce's eyes. He stared at Jobs who wanted his approval very much, and said word by word, "How much are these worth?"
"Based on the current stock price evaluation and the eagerness of those small shareholders to sell, if you want to get these shares, you will need to pay up to 2 million U.S. dollars!!" Jobs suddenly became excited when he heard Bruce's words.
With the current net worth of Bruce, after the two films "Harry Potter" and "Lord of the Rings" have obtained a large amount of cash flow, even if the profit is divided, he already has a personal wealth of no less than 3 million US dollars. With 10% of the shares and a series of NBA profits, his current savings are as high as 6 million US dollars!
"Sorry, Steve, I really want to get this equity, but you should know that the income from Miracle Entertainment can only be fully transferred to my account from the previous year's dividends until the end of February, so..." Bruce said in his eyes There was a flash of excitement very quickly, so he said in embarrassment.
Regarding the financial report of Miracle Entertainment and the shareholding of several shareholders, Jobs had some relatively real data before coming here!
With Bruce now accounting for 49% of the shares, Miracle Entertainment's box office and peripheral income for the whole year last year, his cash deposit definitely exceeded 2 million U.S. dollars. This is still a personal income. If you add " Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings are two shocking films, and Bruce's earnings will definitely reach an astonishing level!
"Hehe, Mr. Bruce, I believe you can complete the acquisition of these shares within a week!" Jobs calmly took out a contract with only a few pages from his bag, and slowly pushed it in front of Bruce!
Seeing Jobs' actions, Bruce couldn't help showing a puzzled expression.
"Why don't you take a look?" Jobs smiled and made an invitation gesture, his expression extremely determined.
In doubt, Bruce picked it up slowly, and when he saw the information clearly, he opened his mouth wide in shock!
"The development of Miracle Entertainment is phenomenal. In just a short period of time, you have developed this company, which initially invested several million and at most tens of millions, into the world-renowned company it is today. Regarding the operation of your team, And the top-level vision, I am extremely shocked!" Jobs said slowly, and then changed the topic: "As far as I know, after you bought Marvel Comics, you have a great lack of animation, so..."
Hearing Jobs' words, Bruce put the contract on the table with a wry smile, thought for a while, and said, "As for your equity transfer letter, to be honest, it's too tempting!"
"Then! Why do you refuse?" Jobs took out a signature pen he carried with him with a smile, handed it to Bruce, and said, "If you agree, the 25% of Pixar's shares will be yours!!"
Bruce stared at Jobs solemnly. From his approach, he couldn't help admiring the founder of Apple!
