Hollywood starts with animation

Chapter 5 Pixar Animation Studios

Zhu Ke went to the bank for a mortgage, but it was also helpless.

There is really no money!

There is only less than 100,000 U.S. dollars left on the account. Let alone go to Pixar Animation to discuss cooperation, it is estimated that the decoration of the seven movie peripheral stores will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Acquaintances and roads, this time Zhu Ke still chose Wells Fargo's Los Angeles branch.

"Mr. Wald, you are welcome to come again!"

The senior manager of the branch loan department, the first person in charge, Smith Qiaomei, is directly in charge of Zhuke's contact.

Surprisingly good attitude.

It's coffee and snacks again. Don't want to be warm and enthusiastic.Can the attitude be bad?For Wells Fargo today, customers with millions of dollars are definitely big customers.

"Then I will make a long story short, this time I want to borrow at least 3 million US dollars!" Zhu Ke went straight.

$3 million?

As soon as these words came out, Smith Qiaomei was immediately surprised!

This figure is placed in Citibank, the amount is not large, but for Smith, who is the manager of the loan department of the branch, it is not small.

Even a huge amount.

Wells Fargo, if placed in 2020, it will definitely be a behemoth.

Its deposits exceed 1.8 trillion U.S. dollars, and the bank's market value exceeds 200 billion U.S. dollars. Bank outlets are located throughout North America, and there are many around the world.However, today's Wells Fargo Bank has a market value of only 480 million US dollars, and it is just a small shrimp in the entire American banking industry.

"Yes, it's 3 million dollars."

After Zhuke 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 make a call. After all, the amount is huge, I hope you can understand." Smith Chowmy gritted his teeth.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."

Zhuke is not in a hurry, picking up coffee and eating snacks, with a millionaire worth of money.Seeing Smith leave, Zhuke's heart became active.

"It's a pity that I don't have money now, otherwise, investing in Wells Fargo now is definitely a huge profit."

No matter that Zhu Ke is not moved, Wells Fargo’s market value of US$480 million will grow to more than US$200 billion in the future, a full increase of more than four hundred times, which is not huge.

In other words, the investment of one million US dollars now will be worth more than 400 million US dollars by 2020!

Get rich!

"Damn, it's so good to travel through is gold everywhere!"

"There is also this broken system, it is simply a pit!"

"What use do you say? Why isn't it a daily money delivery system? Free delivery of luxury houses, yachts, and airplanes. That's great and powerful."

"Occasionally provide some future information, there is a shit."

Obviously, Zhu Ke, in his excitement, had already forgotten the news about the Netscape listing and Pixar Animation Studio that the system had provided him.

[Host, no conscience!System Tucao.

Zhuke Frenzy Wald.

Five days later.

Zhu Ke visited the Los Angeles branch of Wells Fargo again.

Under the witness of the lawyer, the loan contract was signed very happily.

The contract involves a total of 2.4 million US dollars, of which seven store mortgages are 2 million US dollars, and there are 400,000 US dollars personal credit loans; the time limit is 3 years, and the interest rate is 9% lower than the previous loan. In one year, Zucker had to return US$216,000 to the bank, for a total of US$648,000 in three years.

black!

It's dark!

"Lao Tzu will also buy a bank in the future and let his bank lend himself a loan!"

Zhuke, no one wants to make me money. Wald, is online again.

Tucao returns to Tucao, but I still admire the courage of Wells Fargo Bank, no wonder he did so much later.

This is Zhu Ke's ignorance of finance. If he does, he will probably admire it even more.You know, in the global subprime mortgage crisis in 2008, investment banks such as Citigroup, ****, Goldman Sachs lost a lot of money, and the amount was calculated in hundreds of billions of dollars, while Wells Fargo was able to grow against the current.

······

In the next time, Zhu Ke contacted a decoration company, um, the cheaper one.

After paying 200,000 U.S. dollars for the renovation, I began to plan the renovation.The average cost of decoration for each of the seven stores is less than US$30,000. It has to be said that Zhu Ke had been in the entertainment industry in his previous life, and he was frantically calculating.

The decoration of the store cannot be said to be extremely simple, but it is definitely a very general decoration.

August 28, 1995, 8 am.

Alami D County, California.

Zhuke made an appointment and arrived at Pixar Animation Studio on time.

"Good morning, Mr. Lasseter," Zucker said.

"On behalf of Pixar Animation, I welcome Mr. Wald very much."

Lasseter said enthusiastically.

I have to say that the person responsible for hosting Zhuke in Pixar animation is John Lasseter, the chief director of the "Toy Story" series and the head of the future Pixar Five Tigers.

Seeing that the person in charge of the reception was him, Zhu Ke could not help being surprised.

It is not Zhuke kneeling and licking, it is that John Lasseter will be famous in the future. In the field of animation in the world, his name is the most famous one.

Absolute animation god!

The little table lamp in the opening of the Pixar animated film is from Lasseter's creativity.

In the future, the Pixar Five Tigers will win the Oscar for Best Animation Award, the soft-handed character, which one is not famous, and the Pixar Five Tigers will all receive the Oscar lifetime honor award in the future."Toy Story", "Cars", "Finding Nemo", "The Incredibles", "The Flying House", "Home Alone", etc., which one is not from their creativity?

These 3D animation films have not only madly harvested the box office worldwide, but also the income in the surrounding fields is several times, even dozens of times, the box office.

Especially "Cars"!

Its surrounding profits exceed one billion U.S. dollars every year. Together with "Little Pig Peppa", it is called the most profitable animation.

Billion dollars?!

Per year?!

"If it were all mine, it would be great."

Thinking about it, Zhu Ke's eyes were red.Go to Nima's entertainment industry logistics supervisor, go to his mother's 70 square meter house, this life I will make a lot of money!

Kind of shame.

A bit of a junior.

A little arrogant.

So what? Who can't live with money, especially billions of dollars of wealth.

"Mr. Wald, are you all right."

John Lasseter looked at Zhuke strangely. It was really Zhuke who looked too...excited.

"Uh, it's okay, let's go in, go in and talk." Zhuke concealed his embarrassment.

Shame!

It's so embarrassing!

"It's still too little experience in the big scene." Zhu Ke was secretly annoyed.

After entering the Pixar Animation Studio, Zhu Ke is full of expectations. It is said that the environment and atmosphere of the Pixar Animation Studio is the world's first. It combines the playground, family and other elements into one, making people feel happy while working. , This is also the reason why Pixar gang hangs out.

"This....... This is your studio?!"

Zhuke was stunned, and what he saw before him was completely different from what he imagined.

In a small, messy working environment, animators with messy hair and growing beards are just a bunch of IT dogs.

"Make you laugh, haha."

John Lasseter looked very embarrassed: "Our environment is a bit worse now, but I believe that when "Toy Story" is released, Pixar will surely resound the world!"

As he spoke, Lasseter became more excited.

"it's okay no problem."

Zhuke showed great generosity, but it was not the same in his heart.

"Great, great, the more difficult you are now, the more sure I will be, and I can save a lot of money, hehe."
