Adrian can not be unaware of jobs in the return of apple, the original faltering Apple coruscate how great vitality. That's one of the reasons why he had a good relationship with Steve Jobs, and Pixar was the second.

But he did not know why jobs could return to apple, and he did not know why he directed apple to adjust its direction. Maybe Pixar's success increased his chips and affected him, but maybe not, who knows?

Of course, just like the famous Hollywood motto: no one is indispensable, and jobs is not 100% indispensable. If Adrian is to be the CEO of apple, as long as Jonathan Ivey's core designers are still there, he may not be able to compete with jobs, but at least he can achieve 80% of his achievements. Well, this example may not be appropriate. It should be said that without jobs, or apple will be in a slump, or they will find a better CEO to create more brilliant achievements. The reason why the future is attractive lies in its uncertainty.

But this is exactly what Adrian wants to avoid. His biggest advantage lies in his foresight. To avoid the butterfly effect on nature is something he should always pay attention to. Besides, apple with jobs is a huge cake in the future. Compared with Pixar, the benefits of Pixar are just a drop in the ocean. It would be a pity to lose it.

However, if we really choose to share Pixar's rights with Steve Jobs, I'm afraid we will have to bargain with him when integrating animation in the future. This guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp. So Adrian has to think about what to do.

But in just a few days, Adrian made his own decision.

"Do you mean to spend tens of millions to buy a computer animation studio that has been losing money for seven years in a row, with a loss of more than 1 million every year?" Opening the wine cupboard in his study, Claude took out a bottle of wine and two glasses from it, turned around, poured the wine and looked at Adrian.

"It won't be more than 50 million. Uncle regert helped me collect some information. Just a few weeks ago, jobs had thought about selling it to Microsoft at this price, but Microsoft didn't accept it because the price was too high. I don't think jobs will offer a higher price now." Adrian said without moving a look. He took the glass and looked at it carefully. Then he shook it and put it under his nose for a deep breath. Finally, he closed his eyes and tasted it.

"Margo in '83? You really enjoy it, crow He opened his eyes and looked at his friend in surprise.

"Because it's for you," Claude shrugged, and then he looked curious again, "but how did you taste it for the first time? And the years are right. "

"The bottle is right in front of me, and I still know the numbers and phrases on it." Adrian pointed to the bottle in his hand.

Claude opened his mouth in amazement and then burst out laughing: "do you think I'm Conan Doyle in a taxi?"

Adrian didn't speak. After tasting the red wine again, Adrian looked at Claude again. Claude, of course, knew what he meant. He shook his head and laughed and said, "no problem. I'll get in touch with Steve."

This time, Adrian looked stunned. After looking at Claude for several seconds, Claude said in surprise, "wait, crow, you say You agreed? "

"Yes, yes. What's the matter?" Claude shrugged his shoulders and said, "do you regret it again?"

"No, no, no," Adrian waved and looked at him like a rare animal. "Shouldn't you object? Shouldn't you talk about investment and risk? You should try to get rid of me "

" yes, I did think so at the beginning. After collecting some information and consulting some professionals, I also think that computer animation is promising, but it is not wise to spend such a large sum of money to buy a studio that has been losing money for several years. " Claude made a gesture and said, "but on second thought, I've rejected your proposal several times in a row. If this happens again this time, my CEO position will probably not be guaranteed, so I compromised. "

The serious appearance made Adrian's mouth twitch, but he quickly restrained himself and waved his hand to show a very hurt and anxious look: "how can you do this, crow? You should continue to adhere to the principle, you should continue to oppose, continue to persuade me not to take such a big risk"

"Hey, what's the matter? Why do you want me to agree when I disagree, but you don't want me to agree when I agree? " Claude looked at him inexplicably.

"Because I've planned it for a long time. You'll upset my plan like this." Adrian put down his glass, spread his hands, and without waiting for Claude to ask, he explained: "I know from several previous proposals that you are likely to oppose this acquisition because you are always safe in these matters. So I was prepared to let uncle regert buy Pixar in my private name after you vetoed it. Then, after Pixar soars, we can integrate it into AC media to further squeeze your 25% shares"How can you count on me like this?" Claude looked at him with a look of shock.

"Hey, how can you talk like that? I have already discussed it with you first, but you have rejected the proposal. Of course, I have to pay for it myself." Adrian raised his hand innocently. "It's normal business behavior."

"But now that I have agreed, and you ask me to veto it, what is that not a calculation?" Said Claude, a little confused.

"You've seen it all out like this Hey Is it a calculation? You are Hey Idiot I warn you, crow. If you do that again, I'll be rude to you, "Adrian said in a warning tone, reaching for Claude's fist, frowning.

"Really, boy?" Claude sprang to his feet and made a fist at him

Adrian couldn't help being a little stunned. Some pictures suddenly flashed from his mind. He knew that it was his memory before. However, he used to fight Claude several times in a private club, but why did he have an inexplicable feeling spread from his heart. Although it only lasted a few seconds, it disappeared, but

Adrian suddenly laughed and jumped up. He pulled a button off his collar and waved to Claude: "come here if you want to be beaten."

"Said to be so confident, ED," Claude said with a few punches. "I'm going to beat you easily. If it wasn't in my study, if I hadn't worn my fist, you would have been lying Ah "

with a plop, Claude fell to the ground, while Adrian, who made a fist, took a good step forward because of his strength, and then looked at Claude lying on the ground with his head in his arms.

"You're still like this. I haven't touched you with my fist." He said teasingly.

"Do you want me to lie down until you hit me? You're a man of no importance. " Claude sat up and said bitterly, "not now..."

He suddenly closed his mouth. Adrian was stunned at first, and then understood what he was worried about. He could not help but smile freely: "it doesn't matter. You can at least tell my godfather."

"Don't mention it. My father will only let me fight back with my fist." Claude got up a little lazy.

The two people stretched out their fists, punched each other, and then looked at each other with a smile. There are some things that need not be said about among the diehards.

"How about a chance to play two rounds on the stage Said Claude, sitting back in his chair.

"No problem, anytime." Adrian, who also sat back in his chair, clapped his hands in agreement.

"Well, that's it. I'll get in touch with jobs as soon as possible," Claude pulled the topic back. "The bottom line is to get Pixar, right?"

"Yes." Adrian nodded. "It's better for you to come out and negotiate with him in person to show that we attach importance to jobs himself. I'm sure we will get more from him."

"As you wish." Claude raised his hands and then thought of something with a bad smile. "Well, if nothing happens, we'll soon get Pixar's ownership. You can't count me that way."

"It's a pity that I've got uncle regert ready to buy the silicon and neural bond studio, so I have plenty of opportunities." Adrian said with a sneer.

"Are you so confident?" Claude raised his eyebrows.

"Wait and see, crow." Adrian laughed. "How about opening another bottle of good wine to celebrate?"

"Drink up the open bottle first." Claude held up the bottle in his hand.

"That's not true. You've got a lot of good wine. How can you treat me with Marguerite of '83," Adrian thought. "Why don't you open that 1784 bottle of Dickens white wine?"

"Don't even think about it. If you drink it, it's a kind of windfall," Claude yelled Adrian murmured, but then waved his hand: "well, well, I'm not going to try your collection."

He didn't really pay attention to the bottle of wine, but took the opportunity to make fun of Claude. In a sense, collectibles are more like booty and more for showing off. For example, those who like to collect famous paintings or antiques always like to show these things in front of guests. Even ordinary people also collect stamps or other things. Many animals also have this custom, and people are all higher animals.

"I remember you used to like collecting cars, but now you don't seem to be interested in it?" Claude asked suddenly.

"Yes, it has." Adrian nodded.

"What do you collect now?" Claude asked with interest.

Adrian wanted to say nothing, but an idea came out of his mind.

"I'm now..." As he spoke slowly, he looked at the cup with a dark red light in his hand, and a funny smile appeared on the corner of his mouth“
