After relieving the confusion in his heart, Tao Xiwu returned home without any psychological burden. His parents looked happy and his mother Zhao Li bought a lot of vegetables. It seemed that she planned to make a big meal today.

"Mom, why are you so happy?"

Zhao Li said: "Your sister-in-law, Pixar animation, was launched yesterday!"

Upon hearing this, Tao Xiwu was overjoyed, "My sister-in-law is so amazing! That's the New York Stock Exchange!"

Tao Yumo mentioned that Pixar Animation was going to go public when she called her home. After it was officially listed on the New York Stock Exchange yesterday, Tao Yumo called her home to report the good news today.

Pixar Animation’s road to listing is not smooth. As a 3D animation company, Pixar has only one movie called Toy Story.

For the company's initial public offering, Tao Yumo had to lobby everywhere in the past two months, rushing among investment companies, and gaining the most investors for Pixar with a clever tongue.

During the lobbying process, Tao Yumo positioned herself as a speaker. She is pretty and a woman, and she has a very advantage in this regard.

She also pulled up the company's two technical backbones and insisted on wearing tweed coats with patches sewn on their elbows to highlight the unique image of "technical genius". American investors are the most popular.

As a promotionalist of Pixar Animation, Tao Yumo devoted himself to portraying Pixar as a unique animation film studio, with high-end and sophisticated technology and unique scripts as the cornerstone.

Her words were not purely a fool. Until Pixar pursued the listing period,

Pixar is indeed unique in the field of animated films.

But it will be hard to say in another year or two, so Tao Yumo must seize this opportunity.

On Christmas Eve in 1996, "Toy Story 2" was released in the United States, but the theater resources and screening volume were not ideal. Disney does not want Pixar animation to succeed again. Fortunately, there is Lin's Pictures behind Pixar animation.

Lin's Film's strength in the United States is not as strong as Disney, but its own theater chains and some of Sony Pictures' theater resources are enough to make up for the disadvantage of "Toy Story 2" in its early stages of release.

The Christmas period is a must-fight place for the American film market every year, and this year is no exception. New movies such as "Mr. Sweetheart" and "Jinging Bell", which mainly focuses on warm comedy, and "Dituni's live-action animation classic "101 Real Dogs" have all achieved remarkable box office results.

But "Toy Story 2" has fought a path with strong enemies around them.

Its first week of release was 3 days, with a box office of US$28,422,234, and it showed a momentum far exceeding the same period at the beginning of its release.

At the end of the first week, the movie box office reached $59,388,839, and the amazing box office trend directly surpassed the momentum of Toy Story 1.

Not only did it fill Pixar animation with surprises, but it also surprised everyone who paid attention to the box office results of the movie.

In Hollywood, it is reasonable to make a sequel when a movie becomes popular.

But everyone understands that the sequel was born just to make money, and the quality of the audience is worthy of the audience.

Many sequel movies were released in the first week, or even in the first three days, and then the reputation was released, and the box office was everywhere.

But "Toy Story 2" is completely different. The sequel to this animated movie is currently even better than the previous ones by major media, and the audience's reputation is even more impressive.

The super high reputation has also led to the box office of "Toy Story 2". The sequel has a stronger reputation than the first work, and the box office is even stronger. This situation is the first in Hollywood.

In the second week of its release, Toy Story 2 once again scored $64.58 million in box office, achieving a box office decline, becoming the largest dark horse in the 1996 American Christmas schedule.

It hit $123 million in two weeks, which also helped "Toy Story 2" to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

On January 8, Pixar Animation was officially listed on the New York Stock Exchange, with a trading code name PIXR, and raised $180 million in its initial public offering.

Affected by the sensational effect of "Toy Story 2", Pixar Animation's stock price soared by 60% on the three days after its listing.

, the market value once approached $2 billion.

The stock price rose and fell in the next two days, and Pixar Animation's stock price stabilized at US$5.6 per share, with a market value of 16.8.

billion US dollars.

"Toy Story 2" was a big hit at the box office, Pixar Animation was successfully launched, and there was a double happiness in a short period of time, and Pixar Animation was full of joy.

In order to retain talents, Tao Yumo set up an option pool in previous large-scale operations.

According to Pixar Animation's current stock price and market value, a listing has given birth to five multi-millionaires including Ed Carterm, John Lasseter and Andrew Stein, and nearly 50 millionaires.

The myth of wealth-making in the capital market is terrifying, but it is extremely wonderful to the beneficiaries.

Pixar Animation is not a big company. When it was first acquired, there were only about 50 employees. The number of employees has only been more than 120. Half of the employees have completely changed their destiny by the company's listing this time.

The joy and excitement of the employees turned the interior of Pixar animation into a sea of ​​joy, and even Tao Yumo was intoxicated by this great success.

A few years ago, she insisted on acquiring Pixar animation and suffered a lot of rumors. Now the company has successfully listed.

The $130 million at the time of the acquisition turned into $1.68 billion, and she could finally be proud.

Of course, being proud is just a psychological relief, and what makes Tao Yumo happiest is the real gold and silver harvest.

The acquisition of Pixar Animation was jointly invested by Bubble Universe and their sisters.

Tao Yumo is not as rich as her sister. She gritted her teeth and paid $10 million. Now the $10 million has become a 5.23% stake in Pixar Animation, worth $87.87 million.

According to the Western calendar, the new year has arrived, and major media in Xiangjiang have released the wealth rankings of the wealth of the rich in the past year.

Tao Yumo holds more than 5% of the equity of Bubble Universe and Pixar Animation, and has entered the top 100 Hong Kong Chinese Super Rich List with a net worth of HK$1.4 billion, ranking 64th.

The surge in wealth after listing made Tao Yumo feel good, but there was something even more comfortable for her, that is, Pixar animation completely got rid of Disney's elbows.

Just one week after Pixar Animation was successfully launched, Tao Yumo received a call from Dituni CE0 Michael Eisner.

On the phone, Michael Eisner's attitude was extremely gentle, hoping to sit down with Tao Yumo and re-discuss the terms of the contract between the two parties and continue to cooperate with Pixar Animation.

"Sorry, the next week is our traditional Chinese Lunar New Year. I'm going to take a vacation now. Let's talk about cooperation when I come back from my vacation!"

After putting down the phone, Tao Yumo couldn't help but jump twice, waving his fists hard and drew small circles in the air.

Cool!

It's so cool!

In recent years, for the development of Pixar animation, she has been fighting with Michael Eisner a lot, and most of the time she has no way to deal with this old fox.

Now "Toy Story 2" has been a great success, and Pixar animation has been successfully launched again. The old fox saw that Pixar was about to ascend, and immediately ran over to show his goodwill.

Humph! I think it's pretty beautiful, I think it's still the same as before? You can do whatever you say, it depends on your aunt's mood.

He hung up Eisner's phone mercilessly and arranged the company's work. Tao Yumo got on the plane back to Yanjing.

At the entrance of the passenger passage at the Capital Airport, Tao Xiwu wore a pair of sunglasses and leaned against the railings in a sloping manner.

"Boss, is this plane for my sister-in-law?"

Tao Xiwen, holding the flower in his arms, looked at his watch, "That's right. My sister-in-law should be the first to come out, wait."

As the two brothers spoke, Tao Xiwu saw a beautiful figure from afar, wearing a fur coat, and sunglasses, walking confidently, full of the aura of a strong woman.

"My sister-in-law! Sister-in-law!"

Tao Xiwu jumped and waved to Tao Yumo. Tao Yumo casually waved to his two nephews and walked closer. Tao Xiwu snatched the flowers in his brother's hand like a treasure and sent them to Tao Yumo.

"Well, it's not bad. Xi Wen'er has grown up and still knows how to buy flowers." Tao Yumo said after smelling the fragrance of the flowers.

"My sister-in-law, why can't I buy it?" Tao Xiwu asked dissatisfiedly.

"If you have this idea, the sows will climb trees."

Tao Yumo's words hit Tao Xiwu very hard, but Tao Yumo guessed correctly. This flower was indeed not bought by him.

After receiving Tao Yumo, several people got into the car, and Tao Xiwen was responsible for driving.

"My sister-in-law, tell me about your company's listing." Tao Xiwu asked impatiently.

"What's the point of listing? It's just financing methods."

Tao Yumo has experienced too many times over the years. Even though he is happy, he has long regarded it as a normal thing to go public.

But Tao Xiwu was extremely interested in this kind of thing and begged her to tell her the details. Tao Yumo had to pick up some key content and talk to him.

Tao Xiwu listened with relish, full of envy and yearning, "If I can go to the New York Stock Exchange for the last time, I will have no regrets in this life!"

Tao Yumo said, "Look at your promising prospects! So what about listing on the New York Stock Exchange? I don't know how many people are going bankrupt after listing and delisting. The company's development and growth are real, and the rest are all auxiliary means."

She asked again, "What? I don't plan to make your movie anymore, I plan to do business?"

"You can also go public when making movies, look at my aunt."

"Then you work hard." Tao Yumo ignored his nephew's daydream and turned to ask about his eldest nephew.

"How is Xiwen'er doing this year? Have you been in love?"

"No."

Tao Xiwen drove the car seriously.

Tao Xiwu, who was beside him, immediately became an intelligence officer, "My sister-in-law, I'll tell you-""

"My sister-in-law, don't listen to his nonsense. It's all a matter of nothing. They just come here to ask me for some questions."

Tao Yumo looked at her eldest nephew with a smile, "A small problem a day, right? It's still a problem that others can't solve."

Tao Xiwen was teased by her and shut up, but Tao Yumo still refused to let him go. "It's normal that his family is from a good family, has a high education, is handsome, and is popular."

Talked and laughed all the way, and the Mercedes-Benz was parked at the entrance of Xiaoliubukou Hutong.

The Tao Xiwen and his brothers followed Tao Yumo with their luggage, like two little libaers.

"Auntie!" As soon as Tao Yumo entered the yard, she was hugged by Dongdong and Yan Yan who were waiting at the door of the downward room.

She went to the United States for more than two months, but she was so confused about these two little guys.

Tao Yumo pushed Dongdong away with some disgust. In the past two years, he grew up like he had eaten pig feed.
