Pixar Studios Industrial Park, Emoryville, California.

A Bentley walked through the door, bypassed the huge jumping lamp statue, and parked in front of an office building designed with a full glass curtain wall.

Before the secretary in the co-pilot opened the door, Michael Eisner pushed the door and got out of the car, and walked towards the office building. The clerk at the front desk knew who Michael Eisner was and quickly notified Edel Camt and John Lasseter.

The secretary followed Michael Eisner from behind, but he didn't dare to say much. His boss was currently in anger. He should burn Pixar for this fire.

Just yesterday, Disney received a notice from Pixar Studio that due to the same huge technical difficulties as "Superman Mobilization", the production of "Car Mobilization" will not be delivered on schedule and will need to be delayed by at least ten months.

"Superman Mobilization" was postponed due to inexplicable technical problems, and the boss was already very unhappy. "Car Mobilization" was also postponed, and Pixar Studio obviously had some thoughts.

With the boss's usual strength, this fire must be burned in Pixar Studio.

"Good morning, Michael." Edel Camt came up, followed by John Lasseter.

Michael Eisner ignored Edel Camt's hand, nodded slightly, and asked coldly: "Where is Jobs? Don't tell me he's not here."

Edel Camt maintained a polite smile and led the way: "Steve is in his office."

John Lasseter is a skilled person, unlike Edel Camt who has such good superficial skills, and his eyes were always cold when he looked at Michael Eisner.

He and Edel Camt are the two oldest Pixar men.

Edel Camt was hired by George Lucas and joined Lucasfilm's computer department as the boss in 1979. The department was engaged in the development of computer graphics technology related to the film and television industry. John Lasseter joined the graphics group of the department in 1983 and led them to develop the first computer-made short film "The Adventure of Andrew and Willy".

In 1986, Steve Jobs acquired the computer division from Lucasfilm and then set up Pixar Studios with $10 million from selling Apple stock.

The two of them have a much greater relationship with Pixar than Steve Jobs.

Under the leadership of Edel Camt, the group entered the office at the end of the corridor, and Steve Jobs sat inside the office.

Jobs looked a little haggard in a dark turtleneck and Levitra jeans: "Michael, please sit."

The two quarreled more than once, and they almost broke up. Michael Eisner's cold attitude towards Jobs was not surprised, and he sat opposite him carelessly.

Edel Camt and John Lasseter sat on the couch next to them.

Steve Jobs was in poor health and his condition had just stabilized. They were not at ease to let Jobs face Michael Eisner alone.

"Long time no see." Michael Eisner did not talk nonsense and went straight to the topic: "Jobs, Pixar Studios postponed "Superman" and "Car Mobilization"..."

Jobs' face did not blush, his heart did not beat, and he said, "Pixar Studio encountered technical problems and needed time to solve them."

Michael Eisner asked: "Technical problems? Are you having technical problems?"

Jobs casually said: "You don't understand the technology of computer animation."

This immediately choked back what Michael Eisner had to question. He really didn't understand computer animation production.

"Pixar will fulfill the contract." Jobs looked like an honest and trustworthy businessman: "After these two animated feature films are completed, they will be handed over to Disney to release."

Michael Eisner quickly adjusted and did not answer Jobs' words, but asked: "In half a year, "Superman Mobilization" must be completed! In 2006, "Carman Mobilization" must be released!"

Jobs confronted him: "There are technical difficulties, and Pixar cannot guarantee it."

Michael Eisner's eyes sharpened: "Pixar Studio doesn't want to fulfill the contract?"

"No, we respect the contract." Jobs still had a little fantasy about Disney: "Disney also needs to respect Pixar, and the contract must be fulfilled, but should Disney consider returning the copyright of the animation feature film produced by Pixar to Pixar?"

Michael Eisner set his sights on Jobs and sarcastically said: "Then, modify the share agreement between Disney and Pixar?"

This has been discussed a long time ago, and Jobs did not hide it: "That's right."

"You completely ignore the relationship between Disney and Pixar for many years?" At present, internal and external troubles, Michael Eisner has somewhat restrained his temper: "Jobs, don't forget that when Pixar was in the most difficult time, it was Disney who helped you."

In the early days of Pixar Studio's establishment, Jobs made major decision mistakes and did not take advantage of Pixar's huge advantages in graphics production. Instead, he continued to use Apple's old tricks, asking Pixar to sell hardware, such as Pixar graphics computers and animation processing plug-ins, and then lost a lot.

Jobs also returned to animation production after he was bleeding from the sales of hardware.

In the 1990s, due to decision-making mistakes, Pixar faced a serious financial shortage crisis. Jobs himself had no money, so he had to choose to cooperate with Disney and signed a series of contracts. Disney thus obtained the distribution and copyright of the animated feature films produced by Pixar.

It is unknown whether there will be Pixar Studios without the contract with Disney.

Perhaps Steve Jobs was grateful to Disney and Michael Eisner at that time, but now he has a completely different mentality: "Disney takes advantage of the danger. Even if it is in the business world, is this contract very glorious for Disney?"

Michael Eisner understood that in the face of commercial interests, Jobs was not at all nostalgic.

He immediately made adjustments and said extremely serious: "Jobs, Disney's patience is limited."

Jobs' expression never changed: "Pixer is trying to solve the technical difficulties."

Edel Camt and John Lasseter never interrupted, but supported Jobs' position. Pixar encountered technical difficulties.

"Technical difficulties! What a technical difficulty." Michael Eisner suddenly laughed: "Many of Disney's dealers have encountered financial crisis, which has caused Disney to be unable to pay for the money. Disney will be unable to pay Pixar the profit share of all the animation feature films in the short term."

Edel Camt and John Lasseter's faces changed, but they both endured and continued to remain silent.

Steve Jobs still had no change and asked, "Is there any more?"

From the decision to follow the advice of Ronan Anderson and Robert Iger and postpone "Superman" and "Car" on technical problems, the management of Jobs and Pixar Studios have been mentally prepared.

For the long-term benefit and for the copyright of Pixar's children, they are ready to break up with Disney and Michael Eisner.

Pixar Studio has no choice but to retreat, and it is impossible to retreat again.

Michael Eisner downplayed: "Disney's liquidity is tight and decided to postpone the next investment in Pixar's animation feature film production indefinitely. The board of directors has doubts about Pixar's revenue. Disney will withdraw loans in advance for the loan it provided to Pixar before."

In Michael Eisner's view, Walt Disney's advantage over Pixar Studios is simply crushing.

Steve Jobs and Pixar Studios are overestimating their ability to break up with Disney. He said: "The news will soon be spreading, Pixar's stock price... Jobs, you have 51% of Pixar's shares in your hands, and your net worth is about to shrink."

While speaking, he looked at Edel Camt and John Lasseter, who are also shareholders of Pixar.

But Edel Camt and John Lasseter did not say anything.

"That's all?" Since Jobs dared to say it, he was prepared: "Michael, do whatever you want."

Michael Eisner still smiled: "You won't want Apple to rescue Pixar, are you? You won't be so stupid. I am also a small shareholder of Apple, waiting to mobilize shareholders to impeach you."

Speaking of this, he stood up and walked out without looking back.

Steve Jobs sat steadily on the sofa, without any intention of getting up and giving it to him.

Edel Camt and John Lasseter did not move either.

Jobs looked at the two men and Edel Camt said: "It's hard for us to go back to the negotiating table with Disney."

"Disney Animation Studio has declined." Jobs said: "Without Pixar Studio, Disney will have big-selling new animated feature films in a short period of time? The news is revealed, Disney is the first to plummet in the stock price."

He looked cold: "Disney's stock price plummeted. Who would be the most dissatisfied?"

The answer to this question is obvious. If the stock price plummets, wouldn’t the shareholders go crazy?

John Lasseter exclaimed: "Ronan Anderson's eyes are very vicious," he glanced at Jobs: "Second only to you, Steve."

Edel Camt said: "The key now is that Disney really has the potential to withdraw loans and suppress our share. It takes time to go through any program, and we need funds."

On the surface, Pixar Studio is incredible and is the first animation studio in Hollywood.

But management knows best that most of the profits of animated feature films were taken away by Disney, and Pixar was more like an empty stance.

Steve Jobs has already considered it: "You go to Los Angeles today to meet Robert Iger and Scott Swift, and it's best to meet Ronan Anderson."

John Lasseter asked, "Don't you see him?"
