Chapter 974: Stan Lee's Ambitions
"Chairman, why are you helping Jobs like this this time, this person is really hateful!" In Boss Jia's room, Harry Potter gritted his teeth and said, "I think it's better to let our own people go up and control the apple."
can make people with such a good character as Harry Potter hate him so much, and Jobs's character is really bad.
"No one can bring Apple back to life except for myself!" Boss Jia shook his head and said, this made Harry Potter very helpless, I didn't expect Jia Yapeng to value Jobs so much.
"Listen, for apples, you just have to be a mud bodhisattva. Whatever Jobs wants, you let him do it? Whatever he wants, you let him do anything, you don't stop him from doing anything! Boss Jia said lightly.
"Yes!" Harry Bo nodded, the companies controlled by their foundation have always done this, which has also made the Mi Guo Priority Foundation get a lot of praise in the industry, who doesn't like such investors among the company bosses!
"But there is one thing, you have to send someone to record all Apple's every move honestly, and then organize it into information and send it to me every day, and you can't delay a day!" Boss Jia added again.
"Yes!" Harry Potter said, but there was a curiosity in his heart, Boss Jia had not put forward such strict monitoring requirements for those investment companies before, even Qualcomm did not have such an order.
However, the requirement of an excellent subordinate is not only to carry out the boss's orders without deduction, but also not to ask a word of nonsense.
"No way, Jobs is too strong, I want such an opponent, but I'm afraid that such an opponent will overturn me!" Boss Jia sighed in his heart and said, in fact, allowing Jobs to return to the throne, Boss Jia has been thinking about it for a long time.
Although Woolard's report took less than two days from submission to approval by the board. But in fact, this problem was already thinking about it a year ago.
As a time-traveler, Boss Jia certainly knows that Boss Qiao returned to Apple in 1996 and then led Apple from the trough to another peak.
So whether to let the Apple of this world repeat this history has become something that Boss Jia must consider. After all, at that time, the Mi Country First Foundation already controlled 40% of Apple's shares, and unless all the directors could be united, whether Jobs could come back or not was really up to Boss Jia alone.
And now, the foundation has 70% of the shares, and it has absolute control.
Jobs would never have imagined that his fate was actually in the hands of Jia Yapeng, and if Jobs knew, I am afraid he would rather die than be the CEO of this Apple company.
After thinking about it for more than half a year, Boss Jia figured out this matter and decided not only not to stop it, but to take the initiative to support Jobs to take the position.
The reason is very simple, first of all, if Jobs does not rejoin Apple, then Apple may only have a dead end, and he has already stabbed nearly $1 billion into Apple.
Then there's the question of Jobs, Jobs is definitely a person who is unwilling to fail, even if he doesn't return to Apple, then won't he pull up a vote again in the future to do what Apple did after it?
So instead of letting Jobs start a new mountain, it is better for Boss Jia to hold Apple's shares in his hands, so Boss Jia first asked Harry Potter to acquire a large number of shares of Apple shareholders.
Because Apple was already a rotten ship at this time, when the United States Priority Foundation offered to buy Apple's shares at a premium of 10%, the other shareholders were naturally very happy.
Historically, these shareholders have searched all over the country, but they can't find a buyer willing to buy Apple's shares, because everyone knows that the current Apple is a mess that is doomed to collapse, and whoever takes over is SB.
So the United States Priority Foundation owns 70% of Apple's shares, so that Jobs is equivalent to working for Boss Jia, such a beautiful thing, Boss Jia still wants to stop it?
Also, if Boss Jia really rides the dust in the smartphone market in the future, kills Apple, a competitor, and monopolizes the global market, is this really a good thing?
Don't forget how Warwick will be targeted in the future, if Daqian has no opponent, then this shameless targeting, I'm afraid it will come faster, so Daqian still needs an opponent in the smartphone market.
Anyway, most of the money made by this opponent also fell into Boss Jia's own hands.
But in fact, Boss Jia knows in his heart that in addition to the above reasons, there is also one of the most important reasons, that is, Boss Jia really wants to fight with Jobs, otherwise Jobs is dead, then there is really no opponent, an excellent opponent is really difficult to find!
"By the way, chairman, when I came to you, another person happened to come to me, and he ......"
"Don't tell me, let me guess, this person is Stan Lee, right?" Boss Jia asked with a smile.
"Chairman, how do you know!" Harry Potter was shocked, Stan Lee came looking for him, it was only half an hour ago, and because it was Sunday, there weren't many people in the company, and there were only three people in total who knew that Stan Lee was looking for him.
And these other two people are Harry Potter's henchmen who recruited into the company, they don't know who the boss of the company is, let alone who Jia Yapeng is, it is impossible for them to report the news to Jia Yapeng.
So who leaked the news, can it be......
Harry Potter was sweating profusely, but Boss Jia smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and then said, "Okay, don't think nonsense, I trust you very much, I just guess that Stan Lee should no longer be able to hold back his ambitions in movies!" ”
"Chairman, you're so powerful, you even guessed the purpose of Stan Lee's coming to me!" Harry Potter was convinced.
That's right, the reason Stan Lee came to Harry Potter was for the Marvel movies. and put forward the hope that the United States Priority Foundation will invest in funds and let Marvel invest in making a movie by itself.
However, Stan Lee in history only realized that superhero movies were the foundation of Marvel's rise to prominence in 2005, so Stan Lee broke the kettle and invested all the company's funds in the filming of the Iron Man movie, which became a hit and gradually achieved the birth of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Before that, Marvel was used to licensing the IP of the movie and handing it over to other film companies to shoot, and Marvel just charged some copyright fees.
Originally, Marvel had no such ambitions, but after seeing the ferocious box office of the Titanic, Stan Lee was not surprised to be moved.
"Do you have a way to dispel Stan Lee?" Boss Jia rubbed his temples with a little headache, for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Boss Jia didn't want him to appear so soon.
Moreover, Boss Jia doesn't want Marvel to make these movies, and it's better for Marvel to be an honest comic book producer.
But as soon as the idea of Stan Lee popped up, it was very difficult.
"I'm afraid it's difficult, Stan Lee is very resolute, he slapped the table with me!" Harry Potter smiled wryly.
"Which movie does he want to make?" Boss Jia asked again.
"He came up with two ideas, one is Spider-Man and the other is Iron Man!" Harry Potter replied.
"Neither of these works!" Boss Jia shook his head, "You go and tell Stan Lee that the Foundation can agree to invest a sum of money in the company to make a superhero movie in the name of Marvel." But it can't be Spider-Man and Iron Man, but it should be the most popular Fantastic Four in the whole Marvel, only in this way is the most secure! ”
"In addition, you have to tell him that the company only gives him this one chance, the box office of this movie must be profitable, if it can't be profitable, then he will honestly draw comics, and the company will hand over the movie IP to other professional film and television companies to be responsible!"
"Understood!" Harry Bo nodded, he actually vaguely understood Boss Jia's thoughts, that is, to transfer Marvel's IP to Daqian Movies for filming, but as the spiritual leader of Marvel, Stan Lee, it must be extremely difficult to convince him.
So it's appropriate to let Stan Lee fail once, then make such a decision again, and Stan Lee has nothing to say.
But the question is, why did Boss Jia reject Spider-Man and Iron Man, these two characters who are not actually the most famous in the comics, but took out Marvel's most popular Fantastic Four for filming, which is really incomprehensible!
Of course, if Stan Lee can't even shoot the Fantastic Four, Marvel's biggest IP, then Stan Lee will no longer have the confidence to argue with the Foundation.
