Chapter 828 Qiao Gang Master
“I have work to do this morning.”
In the suite, Ronan said to Candice Swanepool who was wearing makeup: "I'll have you accompany you around. The boutiques here are good. If you like them, buy them."
Candice Swanepur nodded and said, "Ronan, you're going to do it, don't worry about me."
Ronan pinched her tall nose: "Call me or Connie if you have something to do."
"I will." said Candice Swanepoel.
Ronan went out the door and saw two female bodyguards waiting outside the door, and ordered: "If Miss Swanepur goes out, be sure to pay attention to her safety."
The female bodyguard's answer was concise and powerful: "Yes."
Connie gave a few more instructions, accompanied Luo Nan downstairs, and took a bus to the place she had made an appointment yesterday.
A group of three cars left the city of Mumbai and came to a spiritual meditation temple.
The car parked at the door. Ronan looked at various Buddhist marks and buildings, and said nothing more. He just followed an Indian monk waiting at the door and walked into it.
Although he is not religious, Ronan will maintain sufficient respect for others' politics, culture and beliefs.
This is also the minimum common sense.
When he came to a very simple house, John Lasseter was waiting here. He quickly came up and said, "Good morning, Ronan."
"Hello, John." Ronan nodded.
"Steve is not in good health recently," said John Lasseter.
Ronan knew more about Steve Jobs' condition and said, "Don't worry, it won't take long."
John Lasseter opened the door, Ronan walked in, and immediately smelled a burning incense. The air was obviously not very good.
Steve Jobs was sitting on a futon on the wooden floor, an Indian master was circling around him, muttering words.
As for what he was talking about, Ronan couldn't understand at all.
"Please wait a moment," Steve Jobs whispered: "I'm going to end soon."
Ronan glanced at his watch and said calmly: "I came here ten minutes ago."
The Indian master, Gujing Bubo, seemed to be transcending all things in the world.
About two minutes later, the Indian master stopped and Steve Jobs slowly stood up. The two of them bowed together with their hands, and the master slowly floated out of the room.
Steve Jobs at this moment seemed to be the most devout believer.
Ronan couldn't understand it, but he could also guess that Steve Jobs was probably treating it through spiritual practice or meditation.
He didn't speak, and he wouldn't be so stupid as to speak out.
This involves the issue of faith, and it is very troublesome to participate randomly. Not to mention Steve Jobs, even Tom Cruise and Ronan never interfere with or participate in related belief issues.
As for the efficacy of the treatment, I can only say that Steve Jobs believes that it is effective.
Ronan has learned a little bit. Although Steve Jobs had undergone related operations, he still did not give up coming to India to find a way to completely solve the disease.
If it were an ordinary pancreatic cancer patient, he would have gone to see God long ago when he was struggling like this. In addition to spiritual practice and meditation, Steve Jobs also has a ability to save his life.
Money ability!
Perhaps, Steve Jobs himself may not have no clear understanding, but pancreatic cancer is known as the king of cancer, and there is no real solution to normal medical channels. Even billionaires can only spend money to delay their lives.
And it won't take too long.
When people are desperate, they always have unrealistic fantasies.
Although Steve Jobs was once mythical, he also had common features in this regard.
"Long time no see, Ronan." Steve Jobs invited Ronan to sit down.
Ronan sat on a wooden chair and said, "We probably haven't seen each other in two years."
Steve Jobs put on his disc glasses, and the believer-like piety disappeared, replaced by the businessman's shrewdness: "In just two years, you have changed too much."
Ronan said with a faint smile: "Is that so? I don't think I am still Ronan Anderson."
"It's just the billionaire Ronan Anderson." Steve Jobs may be in poor health and his voice has never been loud: "If I remember correctly, Netflix Network's market value will exceed $55 billion, right? Next year's list of rich people, you will definitely enter the top ten."
Ronan was very calm: "The wealth in the stock market is all on paper and is nothing."
Steve Jobs covered up behind the disc glasses, was all shrewd and calculated: "It's easy to convert it into actual finances, so why not transfer me some of the shares of Netflix at market prices now."
Ronan did not respond, but said: "Steve, Pixar Studios' stock price has been stable."
Steve Jobs also didn't hide it: "Pixar's stock price will not have much room for growth anymore. After all, it is just a pure content manufacturer. You are a Hollywood operation expert. You know better than me that the film industry is also the king of channels."
Ronan said: "The channels of relativity entertainment can make Pixar more valuable."
"Pixar's contract with Disney is about to expire." Steve Jobs said slowly: "I have many options."
Ronan asked back, "Steve, are there really many? How many Hollywood has actually operated animated movies besides Disney? Does Pixar want to continue working with Disney?"
Steve Jobs said: "The copyright of Pixar Studios cartoon is still in Disney, and I can't let Pixar's children stay out forever."
This seems nothing, but Ronan can understand that it is Steve Jobs' condition.
Ronan said: "The Pixar Studio kids are going to come back, and no one will let Toy Story, Monster Electric and Finding Nemo out of it."
Steve Jobs asked, "You have a way?"
"I thought about it a little, but I haven't confirmed the specifics yet." Luo Nan said slowly: "If you want to get back the copyright, we both need to cooperate tacitly. This is a prerequisite."
Steve Jobs was so smart that he immediately understood that this was Ronan's condition. Unless Pixar Studio and Relativity Entertainment became a family, Ronan would not take action.
John Lasseter has talked with Robert Iger many times, and there is no need to hide it at this point between the two sides.
Ronan said: "Steve, we will benefit both sides."
Relativity Entertainment wants to acquire Pixar Studios. After Pixar Studios leaves Disney, it needs new global marketing channels.
Steve Jobs didn't know this, but as an extremely smart businessman, he had to fight for the most favorable conditions for himself.
"I agree in principle." Steve Jobs no longer goes around the circle: "But there is a premise, Ronan, you must promise Relativity Entertainment to take back the copyright of the Disney-released animation feature film for Pixar Studios."
Ronan said very seriously: "I promise." He still said the same thing: "These animation feature films can be serialized, and the value has not been fully reflected. I cannot let them stay in Disney's hands."
Steve Jobs has heard of it more than once that in the Hollywood circle, Ronan Anderson has excellent credibility.
A typical businessman like him would not believe the guarantees of another businessman.
Because he has experienced it.
But Steve Jobs believes in the greed of a businessman when facing huge benefits.
So, Steve Jobs nodded slightly: "Ronan, I believe you will fulfill your promise."
Ronan said with a smile: "It is in line with the needs of both of us."
"What about the specific plan?" asked Steve Jobs.
How could Ronan say now: "When the time comes, Robert Iger will communicate directly with Pixar Studio."
Steve Jobs did not entangle on this: "Yes, leave the specific progress to them. Ronan, we will only talk about the most important ones."
Ronan said: "Of course, Steve, Pixar Studios have always had the final say."
Even now, Pixar Studio has raised several financings to expand its shares, Steve Jobs has sold shares to cash out, thereby increasing its stake in Apple, etc.
The number one boss of Pixar Studios still holds nearly 51% of Pixar's equity in his hand.
Ronan knew very well that Steve Jobs was going to offer the offer.
People below the specific price will discuss, but the main framework will definitely be finalized by him and Jobs.
After a few minutes of consideration, Steve Jobs said: "We traded through equity exchange. I exchanged for Netflix Network equity of the same value as Relativity Entertainment, and the specific price is based on the market price on the trading day."
Pixar Studios has a market value of more than $5 billion. If transactions are conducted according to the current situation, Relativity Entertainment may pay about 10% of Netflix Network equity.
Now Netflix Network is just starting out, with all its businesses developing smoothly, and its stock price is in a period of rapid rise.
Ronan knew this, and business elites like Steve Jobs could also see it clearly.
Conversely, Pixar Studios, which has no issuance channels, has had a very stable stock price in recent years, and it is difficult to have a lot of room for growth. Hollywood's industrial system is not a secret. Anyone who knows it knows that Pixar Studios is in the downstream of the industrial chain.
"Yes." Luo Nan replied: "But I also have a condition, which is very simple and not complicated."
Steve Jobs said: "Please say it."
Ronan whispered: "You are the CEO of Apple, I am the shareholder of Apple. We will have a new identity at that time. I am the chairman of Netflix Network, and you are the major shareholder of Netflix..."
Steve Jobs looked at Ronan and had a bad premonition.
