Chapter 5 Pixar Animation Studios
Zhuke went to the bank to make a mortgage, which was also a helpless move.
There is really no money!
The only remaining $100,000 left in the account is. Not to mention going to Pixar Animation to discuss cooperation, the decoration costs of the seven movie-related stores will probably cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Acquaintances are familiar with each other, but this time Zhuke still chose Wells Fargo Los Angeles Branch.
"Mr. Wald, welcome you again!"
Smith Jomi, the senior manager of the branch’s loan department, is directly responsible for the contact of Zhuke.
A surprisingly good attitude.
It’s coffee and snacks, with a gentle tone and enthusiastic attitude. Can the attitude be bad? For Wells Fargo today, customers with millions of dollars are definitely big customers.
"Then I'll tell you a long story. This time I want to have a loan of at least $3 million!" Zhuke went straight to the ground.
$3 million?
As soon as these words came out, Smith Jomi was shocked!
This number is not large at Citibank, but it is not small for Smith, who is the branch loan manager.
Even huge amounts.
Wells Fargo, if it is placed in 2020, it will definitely be a behemoth.
Its deposits exceed US$1.8 trillion, its bank market value exceeds US$200 billion, and its bank branches are spread throughout North America, and there are many around the world. However, the market value of Wells Fargo is only US$480 million, and it is just a small shrimp in the entire American banking industry.
"Yes, it's $3 million."
After Zhu Ke finished speaking, he emphasized: "If it doesn't work, then we won't be able to cooperate this time."
"This...Mr. Wald, please allow me to call, after all, the amount is huge, I hope you can understand." Smith Jomi gritted his teeth.
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."
Zhuke was not in a hurry, picked up the coffee and ate the snacks, with a net worth of millions and a happy feeling. Seeing Smith leave, Zhuke's heart became alive.
"It's a pity that I don't have money now, otherwise, investing in Wells Fargo now would definitely be a huge profit."
Zhuke couldn't help but be moved. Wells Fargo's market value of US$480 million will increase to more than US$200 billion in the future, which will increase by more than 400 times. It is huge.
In other words, if you invest one million US dollars now, it will be worth more than 400 million US dollars by 2020!
Get rich soon!
"Damn it, it's so good to travel through time, it's just like gold everywhere!"
"And this broken system is simply a magic pit!"
"What do you think you are useful? Why isn't it a daily money delivery system? Luxury houses, yachts, and planes are free to deliver, that's great and powerful."
"It's useless to provide some future information occasionally."
Obviously, Zhu Ke, who was excited, had long forgotten all the news of Netscape's listing that the system provided to him, and Pixar Animation Studio.
[Host, I have no conscience!] System complains.
Juke Crazy Wald.
Five days later.
Zucker visited Wells Fargo Los Angeles Branch again.
Under the witness of the lawyer, the loan contract was signed very happily.
The contract involved a total of US$2.4 million, of which the mortgage loans of seven stores were US$2 million, and there were US$400,000 in personal credit loans; the time limit was 3 years, and the interest rate was one point lower than the previous loan, which was 9%, which means that Zhuke had to repay US$216,000 to the bank every year, and a total of US$648,000 in three years.
black!
It's so dark!
"In the future, I will also acquire a bank and let my own bank lend him a loan!"
Juke No one wants to make money from me Wald, is online again.
No matter how much I complain, I still admire Wells Fargo’s courage. No wonder I did it so big later.
This is why Zhuke doesn't understand finance. If he knows it, he will probably admire him even more. You should know that during the global subprime mortgage crisis in 2008, investment banks such as Citigroup, ****, and Goldman Sachs lost a lot of money, and the amount was calculated in hundreds of billions of dollars, while Wells Fargo could still grow against the current.
······
In the next time, Zucker contacted a decoration company, well, the one that charges cheaper.
After paying $200,000 in decoration, he began to plan decoration. The average decoration cost of each store in the seven stores was less than $30,000. It has to be said that Zhu Ke worked in the entertainment industry in his previous life, and he was simply crazy and careful.
The decoration of the store cannot be said to be extremely simple, but it is definitely a very ordinary decoration.
August 28, 1995, 8:00 am.
Alamid County, California.
Zhuke made an appointment and arrived at Pixar Animation Studio on time.
"Good morning, Mr. Lasseter," said Zucker.
“On behalf of Pixar Animation, I welcome Mr. Wald very much.”
Lasseter said enthusiastically.
I have to say that the person who is responsible for receiving Zhuke in Pixar animation is the director of the Toy Story series and John Lasseter, the leader of the future Pixar Five Tiger Generals.
When Zhu Ke saw that he was the person in charge of the reception, he was shocked.
It’s not that Zhuke licked his knees, it’s really that John Lasseter is too famous in the future. In the world of animation, his name is the most resounding one.
Absolutely anime master!
The small desk lamp at the opening of Pixar animated movie comes from Lasset's creativity.
In the future, the Pixar Five Tigers will win the Oscar for Best Animation Award and win the slutty character. Which one is not a famous person? Moreover, the Pixar Five Tigers will all win the Oscar Lifetime Honor Award in the future. "Toy Story", "Car Story", "Finding Nemo", "Superman", "Flying House", "Dinosaur Head", etc., which one does not come from their creativity?
These 3D animated movies not only harvest box office madly around the world, but also earn several times or even dozens of times the box office in the surrounding areas.
Especially "Car Mobilization"!
Its peripheral profits exceed one billion US dollars every year, and together with Peppa Pig, it is called the most profitable animation.
Billion dollars?!
each year?!
"If it were all mine, how great would it be."
As he thought about it, Zhu Ke's eyes turned red. Go to the logistics manager of the entertainment industry and his mother's 70-square-meter housing. I will make a lot of money in this life!
A little shameful.
A little bit of a middle-aged boy.
A little arrogant.
So what? Who can’t get over money, especially billions of dollars in wealth?
"Mr. Wald you be fine."
John Lasseter looked at Zhuke strangely. It was because Zhuke looked so... his face was sometimes dull, sometimes excited, sometimes crazy, and even drooling.
"Uh, it's okay, let's go in and talk." Zhuke hurriedly wiped his saliva and covered up his embarrassment.
Disgraceful!
It's really embarrassing!
"It's still too little experience in big scenes." Zhu Ke was secretly angry.
After entering Pixar Animation Studio, Zucker was full of expectations. It is said that the environment and atmosphere of Pixar Animation Studio is the world's number one. It combines the elements of playground, family, etc. to make people feel happy at work. This is also the reason why Pixar's group of stubborn people is a big hit.
"This...this is your studio?!"
Zhuke was shocked. What he saw in front of him was completely different from his imagination.
A small, messy working environment, a group of animation designers with messy hair and a rampant beard are just a bunch of IT dogs.
"It makes you laugh, haha."
John Lasseter looked extremely embarrassed: "Our environment is a little worse now, but I believe that after "Toy Story" is released, Pixar will definitely resound around the world!"
As he spoke, Lasset became more and more excited.
"It's okay, it's okay."
Zhu Ke showed great magnanimity, but that was not the case in his heart.
"That's great, great. The more difficult you are now, the more confident I will be and save a lot of money, hehe."
Chapter completed!
