Hearing Ronan's conditions, Steve Jobs suddenly laughed and said, "This is contrary to Apple's basic development principles. Don't say I can't push it. Even if I push it, shareholders will rush me to step down."

Today, Steve Jobs only has a very small stake in Apple, and is even far less than Ronan's shares. Although Steve Jobs founded Apple with one hand, he is now more like a professional manager to Apple.

Although Ronan knew it was very difficult, he still wanted to try it: "As long as Apple's smartphones sell well, these are not problems at all. Steve, don't forget that I am also an Apple shareholder and have come into contact with many Apple shareholders. They only care about two things most - stock price and profit!"

As long as the stock price is high enough, most Apple shareholders will care which operating system Apple's portable handheld terminal uses?

But Steve Jobs' relationship with Apple is complicated after all: "It's not good for Apple itself to join your alliance."

Luo Nan smiled and said, "How could it be no benefit? A wider promotion platform, more interests tie partners, and more promotion channels..."

Steve Jobs raised his hand and interrupted Ronan: "Apples don't need these, what Apples have to do is stick to themselves." He said confidently: "Because apples are apples, not anything else."

Ronan sighed inwardly. It was not difficult to tell from Steve Jobs' attitude that the possibility was zero.

Perhaps it is Steve Jobs' arrogance and confidence that this world has an apple that has been bitten by someone, which can make people buy crazy by selling kidneys.

Ronan no longer entangled in this regard and said, "Steve, I can't agree to the terms you have made. Netflix Network also has many shareholders, so I can't harm their interests."

Steve Jobs said: "I can also accept the equity of Relativity Entertainment."

Ronan did not refuse and said directly: "Relativity Entertainment is calculated at a valuation of $100 billion."

Steve Jobs' face turned dark in an instant: "Netflix Network's market value is quite valuable, but Relativity Entertainment is not 100% controlled. We calculate based on the market value of Netflix Network's $60 billion, your Relativity Entertainment has more than 40 billion US dollars?"

Ronan was as confident as Jobs just now: "In my hands, there are some."

Many movie series have just begun, and the Marvel Avengers project has not yet been released...

The atmosphere in the room was a little solidified, and the two of them were in a stalemate in an instant.

Both Ronan and Steve Jobs have the sincerity to cooperate.

Relativity Entertainment requires Pixar Studio, because Pixar Studio not only represents the future production of many animated films with unlimited online and offline value, but also the world's best hardware and software development capabilities for animation production.

Why is Pixar Studio recognized as the number one animation studio in Hollywood? It is not only a film production capability, but also an animation production software and hardware provider.

From Blue Sky to DreamWorks to Shahai Entertainment, these animation studios have used software and hardware systems purchased from Pixar Studios on a large scale.

In contrast, Pixar Studios has animated films as its foundation. As a pure production company, it urgently needs new marketing channels.

Otherwise, continue to work with Disney.

How unequal the contract between Walt Disney and Pixar Studios is, Pixar Studios' management now hates Walt Disney.

Once upon a time, it was Robert Eiger who single-handedly convinced Steve Jobs, and then Disney acquired Pixar Studios.

But Steve Jobs is undoubtedly the biggest winner in this deal, becoming Walt Disney's largest shareholder.

At that time, after Steve Jobs' death, the biggest legacy left to his family was not about Apple's property, but about Walt Disney's equity.

This made Jobs' widow always stand firmly among the billionaires.

Ronan roughly speculated that today's Relativity Entertainment and Netflix Network are like the former Disney to Steve Jobs.

Ronan and Steve Jobs are both sincere in cooperation, because cooperation will benefit both, but they also want to fight for the best conditions and greatest interests for their own side.

At this moment, Ronan and Steve Jobs would only consider issues from the perspective of businessmen and capital.

They are just businessmen!

"So, Steve." Ronan said slowly: "We all want to cooperate, and it will benefit both sides. Why don't we each take a step back?"

Steve Jobs coughed twice and emphasized: "Apple is an apple, Pixar Studio is a Pixar Studio, the two cannot be confused."

Luo Nan nodded slightly: "The premise of cooperation is that Relativity Entertainment must take control of Pixar Studio."

"I agree with this, but Pixar Studios needs to maintain sufficient creative independence," Steve Jobs said.

"If Pixar Studio is not allowed to ensure a certain degree of independence..." Ronan asked back: "Is Pixar Studio or Pixar Studio?"

Steve Jobs said: "In terms of film creation, I believe in your vision."

Ronan's vision in the movie is more trusted by Steve Jobs than Ronan's character and credibility.

"Look, Steve, we can still find a lot of consensus." Ronan spread his hands and said, "We also want Pixar Studio to have a better future development."

Steve Jobs believed in the truth of this statement because a Pixar studio with better development is in line with the interests of Relativity Entertainment.

"Tell me about your conditions." Perhaps Steve Jobs was a little tired after just doing spiritual practice.

Ronan no longer went around in circles and said directly: "Relativity Entertainment acquired Pixar Studio through cash and part of Netflix equity exchange."

Steve Jobs was silent for a while, as if considering the pros and cons, and finally said slowly: "Yes, I agree with this trading method."

Business negotiations, especially those who are interested in cooperation, are themselves a process of mutual compromise. He then asked: "Specific proportion?"

Ronan said: "Let the people below talk."

Steve Jobs thought for a while and said, "Okay."

It is enough for the two to reach an intention, and the specific negotiations are very complicated, so they cannot determine them one by one.

"What do you think about the copyright on Disney?" Steve Jobs continued.

"The copyright must be taken back." Ronan is very clear on this point: "Toy Story has been serialized, Finding Nemo and Monster Electric Company can also be serialized. Now Disney is unstable internally, and the next year is our only chance."

Steve Jobs said: "If you need Pixar Studios to cooperate, you can just ask John and Ed."

Ronan nodded slightly: "I will."

Steve Jobs suddenly changed the topic: "Ronan, we have many common interests, and I hope you will be a shareholder who supports me in Apple."

Everything about Apple once told Ronan that supporting Steve Jobs was the choice that best suited his investment interests.

"We are allies." Ronan said naturally.

Steve Jobs stopped talking about work and instead said, "How many days are you going to stay in India?"

Luo Nan replied casually: "I may stay for another two days."

Steve Jobs said again: "If you have time, you can come here to listen and see, and it will make your mind return to its purest state."

Ronan smiled: "No need."

Steve Jobs seemed to mean something: "Everything is actually showing the nature of our hearts, and this is the only reason for our existence."

Ronan did not respond, but said, "You are in poor health, so I won't disturb you for a long time."

Steve Jobs did not try to keep him. Ronan stood up and prepared to shake hands with him. Perhaps in such a special environment, Steve Jobs bowed his hands together.

Perhaps as the business negotiations ended, Steve Jobs automatically switched back to the state of devout believers.

Ronan said nothing and said goodbye and left.

He has heard that Jobs and his wife were both devout believers, and it is said that the two held a Buddhist wedding in 1991.

According to Mark Randolph, a senior Silicon Valley man, the wedding ceremony was so simple that it was even a bit ascetic. When guests and the bride walked in, the incense was burning. There was no wedding bell, but the melody of chanting Buddhist scriptures.

It can only be said that every successful person is paranoid in some ways.

Having said that, Ronan is also very paranoid, such as in terms of preferences, he is as dedicated as Leonardo.

After leaving the Zen temple, John Lasset refused to see him off. Ronan got into the car and returned to the city of Mumbai.

In the car, I told Connie what she had to do and asked Connie to notify Robert Eiger and start the follow-up plan.

As the top leader and actual control of the two companies, Ronan has reached a consensus between Steve Jobs, and the rest depends on Robert Eiger's specific operations.

Ronan returned to the hotel and met Candice Swanepur. He went to a specialty restaurant for lunch. After resting, he took her around the commercial district and Bollywood.

The two sides had reached a tacit understanding. After swiping the cards, Ronan bought her a lot of luxury goods.

Young girls always have special feelings for these things, and they even dare to pay unimaginable prices for this.

In addition, Ronan also asked George Clint to inform Michael Bay to confirm that the heroine of "Transformers" uses Candice Swanepool.

Her acting skills are not the best, but she is above the level. Including the appearance conditions of her sweet neighbor girl, her comprehensive audition effect is also in the first level.

Ronan has already confirmed this point, otherwise he would not have sent an invitation.

The next morning, Steve Jobs came to the hotel to visit Ronan again, and the two chatted for a longer time.
