"Damn it, we have to stop them."

Jobs said angrily.

"Uh-huh...where do the funds come from? This is hundreds of millions of funds."

Jerry York shrugged his shoulders, opened his hands and asked.

We are far from the era after the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008, when banknotes devalued to hundreds of millions of dollars and were no longer money at all, and could easily become tens or tens of billions of dollars.

Following Jerry York's words, Jobs stopped talking and turned to look out the window.

Most of his current assets are in Pixar Animation, but his shares in Apple are less than 1% of all Apple stocks. If he wants to get money, he can only let Pixar Animation pay, but if they participate in this transaction

Going in, I'm afraid the funds will require a quarter of the market value of Pixar Animation.

How could he do it in such a situation? In the end, it is very likely that Apple will not be saved, but Pixar Animation will also be dragged into the water, which makes Jobs even more headache.

Jerry and Art Levinson were helpless in this regard. After all, the only one who really had a headache when Apple was acquired was Steve Jobs. The impact on them was actually not that big, and they could even cash out their shares at a high price in advance.

..................................................

As for what happened at Apple, Kaos was aware of what happened that day, but he only watched the progress from a distance, and even boiled frogs in warm water without any hurry, constantly putting pressure on Jobs.

Except for some consensual acquisitions, most of the acquisitions of listed companies are like this. After all, one wants a high price and the other wants to spend less. Through back-and-forth negotiations and off-site operations, the transaction can be completed within a year.

These are all things worth being happy about.

Unless, like Kaos's acquisition of the New York Times Group, a high price is offered that the other party cannot refuse, not only will there be back-and-forth negotiations, but some may even be rejected by the other party in the first round.

"It seems you are in a good mood."

In a three-star Michelin restaurant in Los Angeles, Zhang Ziyi looked at Kaos with a smile on his face, shook the wine glass gently twice, and asked tentatively.

Compared to last night's glamorous look, today's outfit is much simpler. It's just a simple long-sleeved top and jeans, and the brand is even very ordinary.

After all, clothes worth tens of thousands of dollars were not something she was willing to spend money on just for a party like last night. Even the jewelry she wore at that time were still cheap.

Although celebrities are glamorous, they often go to high-end occasions. Except for the subversive big-name figures, most celebrities actually have insufficient support, so life below the third tier is also very difficult. Of course, they still earn more than ordinary people, but the same

The cost is also extremely high.

"Of course, a company is about to be acquired recently, so I'm in a good mood."

After putting down his cell phone, Kaos clinked his wine glass with Zhang Ziyi, took a sip and answered with a smile.

Although Lin Yifei was obsessed with her during the day, she went to the crew to film in the evening, which also gave Kaos time to go out and have a date with the beautiful woman.

"Is it Apple? I was watching the news recently, and it was very noisy."

Zhang Ziyi listened to Kaos' explanation and thought about some news she had seen recently. Her beautiful eyes lit up and she started asking.

"Yes, but the final success still requires some negotiation and hard work. Why do you want to find some investment?"

Kaos knew very well why the other party was so close to him. Now when he looked at Zhang Ziyi's eyes, he could guess what the other party was thinking.

Reaching out and grabbing the other person's slender hand, feeling the softness and smoothness on it, Kaos continued: "If you want to invest, you can use the extra money to buy Google stocks, or give it to me directly.

The investment company, I dare not say much else, still makes a profit of 15% every year, or buying a house in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou in China is a very good investment."

An investment that was too complicated was obviously not suitable for the other party, and Zhang Ziyi had no time to manage it, so Kaos simply pointed out a few ways.

When dealing with women at lower levels, directly giving money is the easiest way, but when faced with women who are not generally ambitious, such as Zhang Ziyi, Monica, etc., career opportunities are what they value.

Because they can tell that it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. When their career is successful enough, their wealth will naturally continue to flow, and they will not have no source of wealth after they break up one day.

.

As Kaos explained, Zhang Ziyi also wrote it down very seriously. After all, there are many people outside who are eager to get Kaos's wealth advice but cannot get it. Naturally, she will not waste the opportunity.

"Well, I have already bought an apartment in Beijing before. It seems that I can consider buying a few more when I go back."

Her current money mainly comes from the US$1 million salary from "Rush Hour 2". Although the amount seems to be large, her current expenses are also very large. If she wants to develop in the United States, I am afraid she can only invest a small part of it.

, it seems that the only best way to buy a house is in China.

"Just think about it yourself. It's getting late. Come and sit at my place."

Kaos looked at the time and saw that it was already nine o'clock, and that the meal was almost finished, so he opened his mouth to invite Zhang Ziyi.

This does not go to other places, but to Kaos. The meaning is already very clear.

"OK."

Both parties were well aware of this invitation, and Zhang Ziyi agreed without hesitation with a smile.

If it weren't for Lin Yifei's interruption yesterday, this matter would have happened yesterday, and now it's already a day too late.

At the same time, the two of them are not procrastinators. It would be good to get a little familiar with things like talking about relationships and develop a certain tacit understanding and feeling for applause. Going too far would be a waste of time.

Moreover, the time of the two of them is extremely precious. One is busy filming, and the other is busy doing business. If he refuses now, he doesn’t know when the next invitation from Kaos will be. Zhang Ziyi will naturally not be pretentious, and will

Opportunity missed.

With that said, the two left the restaurant, then got into Kaos' car and went directly to Kaos' residence in Beverly Hills.

Of course, it is not the place where Kaos and Lin Yifei live, but another luxury house in Kaos. There is no way to have money but to have more places to live. It not only increases the value of real estate investment, but also saves the cost of renting a house.
