"Now we can negotiate the price. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" said with a smile after confirming that Summer was a good buyer.

Summer nodded, "Mr. Lucas, please bid." ”

"Good. The computer animation department is 15 million dollars, and then I ask you to invest another 15 million dollars in the computer animation department. Lucas said.

He thinks not only of his own interests, but also of his colleagues in the Computer Animation Department. Fifteen million dollars, which can be used by them for a long time.

When Summer heard this, she shook her head, "Mr. Lucas, the computer animation department shouldn't be worth that much money now." Although I know that it has some technical accumulation, it has not been commercialized so far. If I buy this company, I don't know how many years I have to wait and how much money I will have to invest to make a profit. So fifteen million dollars is not enough, I can give up to five million dollars. But for the investment in the computer animation department, I can give fifteen million dollars. ”

The computer animation department now has no other assets other than these technical talents, as well as some technical accumulation. Moreover, it cannot be profitable in the short term, and it needs to continue to increase investment, which is a bottomless pit with entry and exit. So fifteen million dollars, buying such a company, is too expensive.

In addition, there are not only Pixar Hollywood animation companies, but also DreamWorks Animation ("Shrek", "Kung Fu Panda"), Blue Sky Animation Studio ("Ice Age", "Rio Adventure") and so on. Their animation production technology is no worse than Pixar's, and the animations that Pixar can produce, these companies are equally capable of producing. Therefore, if Pixar's asking price is too expensive, it is not ruled out that the summer will give up buying Pixar and invest in DreamWorks or Blue Sky Animation Studio.

"Five million dollars is a bit less. In this way, I will reduce it a little, and you will increase it a little, eight million dollars. Lucas thought for a moment.

"Okay. Speaking of which, I kind of like the story of "Star Wars", so it's eight million dollars. Summer nodded.

Eight million dollars is not a lot of money, but it's a good thing to be able to buy a computer animation department.

"It's a deal. Lucas smiled and shook his hand when he saw that Summer agreed.

Summer also laughed happily, and the future world animation giant finally came into his hands.

……

In the summer, he signed with George Lucas, transferred money and more.

"Steve Jobs also wanted to buy my computer animation department, but unfortunately he didn't want to pay too much. Lucas said with a smile when he got the check.

"You're talking about Steve Jobs, the former chairman of Apple Computer?" Summer asked.

Lucas nodded, "Yes." He wanted to buy the division and sell graphics computers, as Adobe did. ”

The Computer Animation Department has developed a computer that can digitize images on live-action film and incorporate special effects. They named it Pixar Picture Computer, which is where the name "Pixar Animation Studio" comes from.

Jobs believed that the Pixar image computer was the direction of the future of computers, so he had high hopes for this computer. However, because of the poor sales of this computer, Pixar Animation Studios suffered huge losses, and the net loss in 90 years was as high as $8.2 million, so that Jobs once planned to close the company.

"I think the focus of the computer animation department should still be on the development of image rendering programs, animation and advertising. It shouldn't be necessary to develop computer hardware. Summer shook her head.

In later generations, computers developed very rapidly, and the hardware can be said to be changing with each passing day. Now I develop my own computer, which is purely full of food. It is better to focus on the development of graphics software, complete the accumulation of technology as soon as possible, and then start making animated feature films.

"This computer animation department is yours now, and you can make it grow however you want. George Lucas laughed.

Summer nodded, and then asked Michelle to buy a two-story building in Silicon Valley as a new office building for the computer animation department, and at the same time officially renamed the computer animation department as Skyland (Tianxia) Animation Studio, and the original founder of the computer animation department, Ed Kemal, served as the company's general manager.

In addition, Summer also discussed with Ed Kemal and the company's employees to decide the focus of the future development of Tianxia Animation Studio, one is the innovation and accumulation of technology, and the other is the production of animated short films and commercials. Grasp both hands and strive to make a name for themselves in the field of animation and advertising within three years, and accumulate enough skills to make an animated feature film.

As for the Pixar image computer, which was originally developed by the computer animation department, it was cut directly in the summer. That computer, not counting the system software, costs $125,000. Since the research and development, only more than 20 units have been sold so far, and even the research and development funds have not been returned. Summer certainly won't send money into this bottomless pit again.

……

After promoting "Saw Horror", acquiring the computer animation department, and completing the investment in Silicon Valley, Xia returned to Hong Kong with Chung Chuhong.

"I'm sorry, Sister Hong, I originally wanted to take you to the United States to have fun this time. As a result, most of the time I was busy and didn't have time to play with you. Summer said to Zhong Chuhong apologetically.

Originally, when he went to the United States this time, he wanted to take Zhong Chuhong to have a good time in the United States, travel, relax, and enjoy the intimate world of the two.

But after the hijacking incident, he became a leaf in the wind, and his actions were out of his control. So the original "honeymoon plan" was also forced to cancel, so Zhong Chuhong didn't have a good time.

"It's okay, Ah Tian, I can't play this time, is there a next time? Zhong Chuhong waved his hand and said, "I see that you have succeeded in your career, and it's too late to be happy for you, so how can I blame you." ”

"Thank you, Sister Hong, I will definitely play with you next time. Hearing her say this, Summer said movingly.

When I returned to Hong Kong, I went back to the company in the summer.

This trip to the United States has gained a lot, especially the hit of "Saw Horror" in the United States, which allowed him to successfully catch the line of Warner Bros. In the future, if Tianxia Pictures' films want to be distributed to the United States, they will no longer need to be transferred through Golden Harvest.

In addition, he became famous in the United States this time and has become a household name and a big star. This also helped him to develop in Hollywood in the future.

In addition, this time he acquired Tianxia Animation Studio, and in the future, he will be able to complement the technology of Tianxia Pictures and communicate with each other, which is a very happy thing.

"Brother Tian, you're back!!" Chen Yixin smiled happily when he saw Summer.

Summer nodded, "How about it, I've been out for more than half a month, and nothing has happened to the company, right?"

"Nothing major happened. Chen Yixin reported with a smile, ""Midnight Bell" has been released, and now it is "Jianghu Love" directed by Wang Jing, which is very popular, with a box office of 3.5 million Hong Kong dollars on the first day. ”

Zhou Haimei, Liu Dehua, Lin Zhengying starring, Yuan Kui directed "Peacock Prince", Hu Huizhong, Lin Qingxia starring, Wang Jing directed "Overlord Flower to Black Rose", Zhang Guorong, Wang Qixian starring, Xu Ke directed "A Chinese Ghost Story" and Di Long, Zhou Runfa starring, Wu Yusen directed "The True Color of Heroes 2" is now under intense filming. The fastest progress is Wu Yusen, who is almost in the finishing stage, followed by Wang Jing, who is already halfway through the filming. Yuan Kui and Xu Ke's progress is much slower, and they haven't even finished filming a quarter of it yet. Chen Yixin reported again.

Summer nodded. Wu Yusen's "True Colors of Heroes 2" has been filming since the end of the year, and it has been filming for four months now, and it is time to wrap up. Wang Jing has always been a fast knife player, and tried to shoot a movie a week. Now it's only half of the shooting, which is already relatively slow. As for Xu Ke and Yuan Kui, they are not urgent, they like to work slowly and carefully, and it is normal to shoot less than a quarter now. If it is replaced by Wang Jiawei, an ink ghost, I am afraid that I will not even finish filming the title now.

"In terms of Wenhe Group, I have recently negotiated two more property companies, just wait for Brother Tian's decision. Chen Yixin said again.

"Good, well done. Leave the information and read it, and then I'll make a decision. Summer nodded.

"Good. Chen Yixin continued, "Wenhe Group, Bainaohui and Tianfu Garment, because Brother Tian, your popularity has risen recently, so the stock price has risen by two to fifty percent. Now the combined market value has reached nearly 8 billion Hong Kong dollars. ”

"This is called the great calamity and immortality, and there will be blessings in the future. Summer laughed. Unexpectedly, in this hijacking incident, not only did he not hurt a single hair, but he reaped so many benefits. This is really a blessing in disguise, a great blessing in life, and a great creation!

"Brother Tian, do you know who those robbers are?" Chen Yixin suddenly asked again.

"You know, I heard the American media report that it was a Red Army element. The purpose of the hijacking was to pressur, through the U.S. government, the Japanese government to release the arrested Red Army elements. It also wants to extort $5 million from Pan Am to finance future terrorist activities. As a result, their plan was disrupted by me. Summer nodded.

"It's good that you know. Some Hong Kong media reported that the leaders of the Red Army were very dissatisfied with you and wanted to send people to assassinate you to avenge the arrest of your comrades. Chen Yixin said.

"Rub!" when Summer heard it, he didn't break out in a cold sweat.

He knew that those Red soldiers were murderous without blinking. Don't take your own life seriously, and don't take other people's lives seriously.

In "Royal Sister 3: Male and Female Thieves", the villain couple is the Red Army. Obviously, he has brain cancer into his body, and he will burp in a few days, but he still does not forget the "great cause of the revolution". I was targeted by this group of hot-blooded outlaws, and I would be in trouble in the future. (To be continued.) )
