Chapter 2002 Cut Hu

After the leader of the Qiao gang left, Yin Jun called Coruti first and asked him to help deal with the Apple shares transaction between him and the boss of the Qiao gang.

Collauti had helped Yin Jun acquire 20% of Apple shares before, and this time he also asked him to continue to deal with it.

If 15% of Apple shares in the hands of the leader Qiao Gang, Yin Jun will hold 35% of Apple shares, and in theory it will be Apple's largest shareholder.

But Yin Jun will not participate in Apple's various decisions.

He even asked Corauti, as before, that the 15% stake would be spread into more than a dozen accounts.

Corauti can definitely handle the specific procedures properly.

The young man also mentioned this matter to Gangmao Qiao. Gangmao Qiao only needs to sell it to Yin Jun’s shares. He has no objection to how Yin Jun operates.

As a result, the 35% shares were dispersed a lot, which was impossible to see at all.

Yin Jun also directly entrusts Goldman Sachs to exercise the shares on behalf of this part of the shares, and he will not take care of it himself.

On the one hand, Apple is not worthy of Yin Jun's promotion and holding shares. On the other hand, Yin Jun is also waiting for the opportunity. When they can't stand it, they will take over Apple and invite the Qiao Gangmaster, who has already realized it, back.

As for the price issue, Yin Jun decided to give 300 million US dollars of cash to the leader of Qiao and help him pay transaction tax and stock income tax, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation for him.

This amount of money is nothing to Yin Jun.

Because Yin Jun is about to snatch his Industrial Light and Magic animation team, he always feels a little embarrassed.

After making the call, Corouti asked Kelaudi to discuss with the private financial consultant of Joe's gang leader. Yin Jun called George Lucas with the second call.

After seven o'clock in the evening, Yin Jun and George Lucas sat in an Italian restaurant.

George Lucas, who was eating voraciously, seemed to have just been released from prison, making Yin Jun funny.

"George, don't you think everyone around you is watching you?" Yin Jun smiled, "The dignified super director and the big boss of the film company are eating so rudely. They must be wondering if they have recognized the wrong person."

"Don't worry!" George Lucas took another sip of red wine and continued to attack the lamb chops. "I tell you, Jun, I've been living a hellish life in this week. I haven't had a good meal for three days... This woman, I can't afford to offend!"

"What's wrong?" Yin Jun said in surprise, "Your new girlfriend is a violent maniac?"

"Not her." George Lucas sighed, "It's my ex-wife."

"How did you offend her?" Yin Jun smiled.

George Lucas's ex-wife is called Macaria, who was once a photographer. The two were married for 14 years and then announced their divorce the year before.

Neither of them had children, but because George Lucas was very rich, Macaria had given up her job for him and focused on being his good wife, so the judge ruled that George Lucas had paid a large amount of support.

However, it is very interesting that after the two divorced, they still had dinner together from time to time, which was more like an old couple.

"Isn't it because of the child support?" George Lucas said. "I have some problems with my investment here, and the stock market and funds cannot be withdrawn for a while. In addition, it requires a lot of money to make movies, so I wanted to tell her that I would postpone the child support for the past few months. As a result, she turned against me and said that if I don't give it on time, she would apply to the court to freeze my company."

"Isn't she crazy? Why is she so big?" Yin Jun frowned.

George Lucas's company is working on two movies, with an investment of more than $50 million. If it is frozen, it will definitely not be able to start work in one or two months, and the money will be wasted.

50 million US dollars in cash is definitely a huge amount for George Lucas.

After all, the rich and wealthy Americans don’t all have hundreds of millions of cash in their hands, most of them put in the stock market and funds.

If you sell stocks and redeem funds when the market is bad, it is obviously a very bad loss-making transaction, and no normal person is willing to do this.

In addition to the cash losses, the producers, actors, distribution companies, etc. involved in the movie will suffer losses. If this part is really calculated, it will be at least tens of millions of dollars.

But because of George Lucas's face, he might just be willing to make up for it in the end.

But if possible, George Lucas certainly was unwilling to do so. His face was consumed here, which was simply too expensive.

And the matter has reached that level. It is also a famous person in Hollywood. Where can he put George Lucas's face?

"Who said no?" George Lucas lowered his voice, "Actually, she wanted to remarry me, but I no longer love her anymore. This is impossible. So she took the opportunity to get angry and wanted to force me... These days, she has called me every day and has not even let me go to bed at night, and I am almost broken!"

"What are you going to do?" Yin Jun asked sympathetically.

"Look, if it really doesn't work, I'm going to sell some industries." George Lucas said with a frown.

"Selling the industry?" Yin Jun looked incredible, "Is the news I heard recently true? I heard someone tell me that you want to sell Lucasfilm?"

"Fart! Who said it?" Lucas was furious, but he was puzzled, "It's strange, who did you hear?"

"Don't worry about who said it, George, what do you want to sell, tell me what I want to say?" Yin Jun shook his hand and changed the subject.

No one told Yin Jun at first, he just knew the result, so he deliberately said this to cause the topic.

George Lucas didn't hide it, "I want to sell my Industrial Light Magic..."

"I'll buy it!" Yin Jun said without waiting for him to finish speaking, "How much is it, you can offer a price! I like Industrial Light Magic very much!"

"Don't dream!" George Lucas was funny, "Listen to me, is it good! I'm not selling the entire Industrial Light and Magic, I'm the animation production team that sells Industrial Light and Magic... I think their expenses are too high and there are no good projects for them to do, so I want to cut this department and see if anyone is willing to take over... How about it, are you still interested?"

"Anime production team?" Yin Jun's interest suddenly decreased by half. "I have a Disney animation team in my hand, with more than 500 people, which is more than your small animation production team, and it is much better."

"I don't agree if you say that." George Lucas said, "The animation production teams I have trained are all talented, no worse than yours! Especially in terms of computers and special effects, they are definitely much better than your group of old animators! It's just that they haven't encountered good projects and have no chance to display their talents!"

“Animation and special effects…”

Yin Jun pondered for a moment before saying, "How much are you going to sell?"

"20 million US dollars, no divalent price." George Lucas said while eating.

20 million!?

The boy almost cursed!

You are a small animation production team with only about 30 people. You have no achievements yet, but you dare to sell $20 million?

When you sell it to outsider Joe Gangmaster next year, it will only cost 10 million US dollars.

Old Qiao, Old Qiao, are you slaughtering your friends as pigs!

Looking at Yin Jun's angry eyes, George Lucas himself was a little embarrassed and coughed lightly, "This is my offer to the public these days. Haha, if you really buy it, it will definitely not be the price."

"Tell me the real price!" Yin Jun said angrily, "George, your animation production team is just an icing on the cake for me, not a timely help. I am willing to buy it, it is just for the sake of my friends. You can't speak out!"

"Well...15 million US dollars?" George Lucas said tentatively.

Yin Jun waved his hand directly, "Hurry up and go home after eating!"

"Haha, Jun, you really don't know how to negotiate business! How could you hear that you don't bargain?" George Lucas quickly comforted Yin Jun, "Besides, my price is really not high. You don't know how pitiful I am. The child support alone costs millions of dollars every year, forcing me to work hard to make money in filming. It's so miserable! Just help me, okay?"

He was really interested at this time.

Since Yin Jun mentioned it, it must be interesting to buy it.

Otherwise, Yin Jun wouldn't have invited him to a meal today.

But maybe Yin Jun wants Lucasfilm or Industrial Light and Magic, and now he only sells such a small working group, so of course Yin Jun is not very interested.

But Yin Jun has always been generous. Maybe this animation production team can get a high price for Yin Jun?

"I'll give you another chance to tell you the price you really want." Yin Jun shook his head, "George, if you shout prices randomly, I really won't buy it."

"Okay, okay!"

George Lucas's eyes kept turning and began to think about it.

He even put down his knife and fork, and he was thinking in his heart.

"On $12 million!" George Lucas looked pitiful, "Jun, let me tell you, they are really talented. If I hadn't encountered difficulties, I would have been reluctant to leave..."

While he was reluctant to leave, his eyes turned red.

Yin Jun was funny in his heart. It would be a waste if this guy didn't act.

I only sold something worth $10 million, but it was 12 million to myself.

But the boy didn't have much thought about him.

Sometimes when people get along with each other, it is a blessing to suffer losses.

If you are petty, it is not easy to have a good popularity.

George Lucas has a high status in Hollywood and has always been Yin Jun's good friend. There is no need to make a fuss about $2 million.

"I'm really afraid of you!" The young man sighed, "If it were someone else, I would definitely only give 10 million at most... You are crying in front of me and are poor. What else can I do?"

"yeah!!"

George Lucas immediately cheered up, "Thank you, thank you, Jun, you are such a good person! Don't worry, this is a good business! You can't suffer any losses!"

The boy smiled bitterly on the surface and shrugged: "I hope it's as you said, so I wish us a happy business?"

"good!"

George Lucas quickly raised his wine glass and clinked Yin Jun's drink glass, "Thank you!"

His fat face was as smiling as if it was blooming.

But if he sees Pixar's peak in the future, I wonder if he will regret it?

Yin Jun suddenly looked forward to it, looking forward to seeing his expression in 30 years.

At that time, this smart director and businessman must have had a very interesting expression!

Therefore, taking advantage for a while does not mean you can always take advantage.
Chapter completed!
