Chapter 11

Cisco got rapid development after the injection of Sequoia Capital, just like in history, so Henry didn't worry too much about it.

On July 1, 1986, Henry heard that industrial light magic was going to sell its computer animation department. When Henry heard that, he almost jumped up with excitement! This computer animation department is the future famous Pixar company. Pixar's brilliance must be understood by many people who pay attention to Hollywood. It is definitely a very powerful animation film company! Then Disney bought it for $7.4 billion!

Henry knew that the opportunity was rare. If he missed this opportunity, he would never take it cheap again! Of course, he also has a competitor - former Apple CEO Steve Jobs (jobs was expelled from apple in 1985)!

In order to understand the situation, Henry sent people to industrial light and magic to inquire about it. That night, he got an accurate answer.

Henry thought about how to win the computer animation department. Now he has more than 20 million dollars, and the contribution fee of Harry Potter has given Henry enough confidence. What's more, in his previous life, jobs bought the computer animation department for only $10 million, and Henry didn't even mind an extra $10 million. The next day, Henry organized his staff, and he proposed to George Lucas' industrial light and magic in the name of Nicholas bookstore.

After development, Nicholas bookstore has become a little famous. George Lucas, as the head of the stunt company, may have heard of the name of Nicholas bookstore! With the development of Cisco and the Internet, Nicholas Bookstore also has a leap forward growth. As early as 1985, symbolics company registered the first. COM domain name, but the first real website in the world still belongs to Nicholas bookstore website, because it uses the WWW protocol, and the website content also conforms to the W3C standard, that is, the future World Wide Web Consortium standard. Since the success of Nicholas bookstore website, many companies have followed suit and set up their own websites.

But some of the companies couldn't build a website, so they contacted Nicholas bookstore and asked it to help design a website. For this reason, Nicholas Bookstore made a lot of money! The Netscape browser has become the carrier of the website, which is simple and easy to use, smooth and fast, and it has won the favor of all users! After the establishment of many company websites, Nicholas Bookstore took the lead to establish the most authoritative and influential international neutral technical standards organization in the field of web technology - Nicholas Web Alliance!

The main members of the alliance are: Nicholas bookstore, Cisco.

Although the alliance has few members, low strength and little reputation, many companies are willing to join the leading web technology in the world! Nicholas bookstore had studied for a long time in order to make Netscape browser, and specially developed XML Extensible Markup Language and XHTML hypertext markup language to facilitate the production of web pages. Of course, the original R & D personnel would not think of this, Henry asked them to do so! After the patent application, these relevant language standards will be published in professional computer magazines, which will be provided to all computer enthusiasts for free learning and use.

So called, the first-class enterprise makes the standard!!!

Netscape browser is going to be developed. If we don't make standards and take patents, will we wait for Microsoft to attack us in the future?

Henry's ambition is to build a strong patent barrier, so that Microsoft and other companies can not compete with themselves at all!!!

Imagine that all websites use Nicholas web standard. Who can use Microsoft's Internet Explorer? You can't find other websites on ie at all. Not only users won't use them, but other companies won't build websites on them. It's too difficult for Microsoft to break the deadlock!

George's industrial light and magic is also one of the users of Nicholas bookstore. They also use Netscape browser, apply for a domain name and set up their own website. So George knows the name of Nicholas bookstore. After hearing Nicholas Bookstore's intention to acquire its computer animation department this time, I am very happy to have contact with both sides to discuss the acquisition.

However, when Henry arrived with the negotiation team, he saw jobs. Henry shook his head speechless and scolded George Lucas for being so shameful that he called his rival!

Jobs and George were stunned when they saw Henry. They didn't wake up until Henry introduced himself. George stares at Henry in surprise. He is obviously curious about Henry, but jobs doesn't pay any attention to him. When Henry saw jobs, he was more determined to win Pixar Animation factory!

Jobs later became famous for the success of Pixar. At this time, the board of directors of Apple felt that jobs was really awesome. He could bring Pixar to glory, so that jobs could return to apple. And Henry is just about to cut off his road, and then apple is likely to be down, Henry will be able to buy it!!!

Henry's eyes were firm. Under the leadership of George Lucas, he and jobs came to the conference room.

Obviously, this negotiation is a tripartite one!

George, with a smile on his face, asked everyone to sit down and said, "Mr. jobs and Henry want to buy the computer animation department of Industrial Light magic. On behalf of Industrial Light magic, I welcome them very much! Then, at the beginning of the negotiation, please talk about your conditions first! "

"I'm very interested in the computer animation department of Industrial Light magic, and I hope George can sell it to me," he said. Because only I can bring it to success "George, the computer animation department is also a part of your industrial light and magic department. You don't want it to be abandoned in the hands of some people, do you?" Obviously, jobs meant something and said something.

After hearing this, Henry turned red and showed a trace of anger. He countered: "Mr. jobs is quite right. If the trust is not human, the computer animation department of Industrial Light magic will be scrapped. I'm afraid it will damage the reputation of Industrial Light magic. So we have to find a competent company to take over. Although Mr. jobs founded apple, but... "

Henry laughed and didn't need to point out. Anyway, everyone knew what he meant.

At the moment, jobs' face is blue and his eyes are angry. He is the founder of Apple company, but he was swept out by Apple company in the end. This is a great shame! How can Henry not be angry when he brazenly exposes his scar in front of him? Henry thinks that if eyes can kill people, he will be killed 10000 times by jobs!!!

As soon as George Lucas saw that the atmosphere was so wrong, he immediately came out to make ends meet: "peace makes money, peace makes money. We are all friends. Why haggle over each other! Come on, let's keep talking, keep talking... "

Jobs face is still cold, temper like gunpowder, a table beat, loud voice: "George, computer animation department I bought, I see who dares to fight with me!"

Henry, with a sneer on his face, patted the table like jobs, and exclaimed, "Mr. Lucas, I'll buy the computer animation department, too!"

George Lucas was secretly happy that the more the two sides fought, the higher the final selling price.

"Ha ha, I'm optimistic about the abilities of both of you. I believe the computer animation department will be able to go to glory under your leadership. Well, now it depends on who pays more. I'll sell it to whoever pays more! "

As soon as George Lucas finished, jobs calmed down, and Henry couldn't let Lucas succeed easily. In terms of bidding, both sides are very conservative, testing each other's bottom line. First jobs yelled, "eight million dollars!"

But even George Lucas didn't agree with the price. As soon as jobs finished, he repeatedly refused: "a low price of 10 million dollars, if you lose it, don't sell it!"

Come on, a negotiation turns into an auction.

Henry laughed, then raised his hand and said, "eleven million..."

"12.5 million..."

As soon as jobs finished, Henry immediately yelled, "18 million!"

On hearing this offer, jobs could not help frowning. In fact, this price has far exceeded the real value of Industrial Light magic computer animation department. Jobs felt that Henry was not shopping, but angry. He was so stupid! In addition, Henry was young and impulsive, so it was possible to overcharge. After thinking calmly, jobs decided to quit the competition. So he didn't go on bidding.

George Lucas had been very happy for a long time. He planned to sell the whole computer animation department for $10 million. Now I met a big wrongdoer who was willing to pay eight million more dollars. This is a big surprise!

"Henry is really very bold. In the future, the computer animation department of Industrial Light magic will be yours!" Said George Lucas, smiling at Henry.

"Ha ha." Henry chuckled.

Jobs's face was a little gloomy. He immediately gave a cold hum, said goodbye to George and left the industrial light and magic. And Henry had to discuss some details with George. Henry wants to ensure the integrity of the whole computer animation department, including the whole technology and management team, as well as various equipment, computer animation software and patents. Since Henry has paid so much money, he doesn't want to be cheated by George in the end!

George Lucas agreed to Henry's demands one by one. If you want to sell it, you can sell it simply. Moreover, since the buyer has paid a lot of money, if you cheat others, you will not have a good reputation. What's more, George also worried that if Henry didn't buy it, wouldn't the extra eight million dollars be gone? Where do you go to find the second one!!!

George and Henry signed the contract in the afternoon. However, in terms of payment method, Henry only promised to pay half in advance, and the latter half in three months. Instead of having no money to pay in one lump sum, Henry had to leave a sum of money for emergency use《 The sale of Harry Potter has brought him more than 20 million US dollars. In addition to inheriting his grandfather's legacy, Henry is still very rich, with a total of nearly 40 million US dollars! Although it cost a lot of money to invest in Nicholas bookstore and Cisco (Cisco only invested $3 million, while Nicholas Bookstore invested more than $10 million), his bank card still has more than $20 million left. And at the end of the year, Penguin publishing society will pay Henry a contribution fee, which may bring in tens of millions of dollars!

George thought about it and finally agreed to Henry's terms. After the completion of the acquisition, Henry, under the leadership of George, went to the electronic computer animation department to inspect the situation. For the arrival of Henry and others, people in the computer animation department seem to have known for a long time, but they are not surprised. But when we learned that the new boss was a 12-year-old boy, everyone was a little confused! Originally, they felt abandoned by the company, just like an abandoned son, so they were in a bad mood and very depressed. But in the end still have a glimmer of hope, maybe the next new boss will be a bole, can recognize themselves, appreciate themselves! Unexpectedly, the new boss is a 12-year-old boy!!!

"Do twelve year olds buy to play?" Thinking of this, all the people in the studio have been desperate, and their morale is low, almost to the bottom!

Henry had to stand up at this time. He knew that if they were allowed to keep down, the investment might be wasted. Henry coughed a few times to attract people's attention, then exclaimed, "are you disappointed to see me? Actually, I want to tell you. You should not be disappointed, but should be happy, should be very happy! Although I'm young, I don't want to be young. I didn't make the decision to buy the computer's moving parts just by clapping my head. I made the decision after careful consideration in advance! "

After a pause, Henry said, "I want to make a computer animation, a classic long animated film that can be shown on the screen. I am very optimistic about you. I think you are the best team in this industry. For this reason, I even bought this computer animation department at a high price. I hope this computer animation department can achieve great success in the future. I hope this computer animation department can become the synonym of global classic animation. I hope that when people think of animation, the first thing they think of is our computer animation department

Pa pa pa

As soon as Henry finished, the applause surged in.

When the applause stopped, Henry glanced at the crowd and asked, "which of you are Edwin catham and John lassett?" Henry knows these two people. Edwin katem is the founder of Pixar and the inventor of pure computer-made movies, and he is a technological genius. John lassett is the driver of Pixar's creativity.

Edwin katem, a mature and steady man in his 40s, is now in charge of the industrial light magic computer animation department.

John lassett is young, only 29.

When Henry asked, Edwin and John stood up and introduced themselves. After their introduction, Henry nodded and announced to the public, "from today on, the computer animation department will be renamed Pixar Animation Studio and become an independent company (), with Edwin as the CEO and John as the chief creative consultant! In addition, I want to tell you a huge piece of good news! "

Speaking of which, Henry deliberately stopped and looked at them. Seeing them all looking at themselves curiously, Henry laughed and announced to them, "the good news is that after Pixar Animation Studio is established, I will continue to inject 10 million dollars into it!"!!! And

Henry stopped in the middle of talking. People were both happy and anxious. What's more, say it quickly?!!

"Moreover, I will give 12.5% of the shares to start the equity incentive plan to reward employees who have made outstanding contributions to the company!"

When people heard this, they immediately cheered. Their morale was high and full of motivation!

Equity incentive plan can enable everyone to enjoy the economic benefits and rights brought by equity, participate in enterprise decision-making, share profits and bear risks as shareholders. This is an excellent way to attract talents! Henry not only plans to implement the equity incentive plan in Pixar, but also in all his holding companies!

However, in order to boost morale, Pixar Animation Studio took the lead in launching the project!

Looking at the excited faces in front of him, Henry believes that Pixar Animation Studio will shock Hollywood and the world in the near future（ Do you have any recommended tickets? Please vote)
