The next morning, after Zhuke got up, he washed up and drove out. In addition to paying attention to Pixar's stock today, Zhuke still has many things to do, the most important thing is to inspect seven SpongeBob SquarePants stores.

Hollywood Heights Mall.

SpongeBob House Second Store.

It is the best business store except for the main store, because it has a good location and many tourists, and sometimes the business is better than the main store.

"BOSS, welcome to come to inspect the work. If you don't come today, I plan to go to you to report to your work in the evening." Victor said.

Victor Jones, male, white, 30 years old, married, has a two-year-old daughter, currently the store manager of the second store. Before being the store manager of SpongeBob SquarePants House, he was the director of a local toy factory in Los Angeles, that is, the general manager. He had a remarkable work performance, but because the factory owner was addicted to gambling, he lost all his wealth in Las Vegas, so he turned to Zucker.

He is undoubtedly Zucker's employee with the best personal experience.

Before the release of "Toy Story", the second store led by Victor was the store with the highest turnover and the only profitable store for two consecutive months.

Just by this point, who else does Zhuke value him?

It's rare to have talent!

"Victor, I heard that you worked in Hollywood for a while before you became a toy factory manager?" Zucker asked.

Victor nodded and said, "That's right, I was not good at academic performance when I was young. After graduating from high school, I came out to work on the Hollywood set, and later worked in management for several years."

While speaking, Victor couldn't help but look nostalgic.

After all, that's Hollywood!

"Oh? Then why don't you continue to do it?" Zucker was very curious.

"BOSS, the company planned to transfer me to a branch in New York as manager, but my wife was pregnant at that time, and the pregnancy reaction was serious every time. As a last resort, I had to quit and then work in the toy factory. What you know next," Victor said.

Upon hearing this, Zhuke nodded.

Victor Jones is indeed a very thoughtful and capable manager.

Before the release of Toy Story, Zucker hoarded peripheral products and was questioned by many store managers, including James, who thought Zucker was too crazy.

Victor is the only one who supports Zucker’s approach!

He gave the reason: "Since Jobs took over Pixar, although he has made huge investments, he has been working hard to make ends meet and has studied a lot of useless things, but they have also accumulated a lot of advanced 3D animation technology; and, as long as they have watched the Oscar-best animated short film "Iron Tin Soldier" produced a few years ago, you will find that their rendering skills and storytelling abilities are very outstanding, undoubtedly standing at the top of Hollywood and even the whole world. "Toy Story" is their work that took four years to create, and the possibility of success is far greater than failure."

That's from that day.

Zhuke confirmed: Victor is a real talent.

As for why Zucker hasn't heard of his name in the future, what's strange about it?

Are there fewer talents buried in Hollywood?

Besides, sometimes opportunities and opportunities are more important than one's own ability!

"Victor, you can sort out your work in the near future and prepare for the handover work," said Zucker.

"Uh.....boss, am I doing something wrong?"

When Victor heard Zhuke's words, his heart immediately jumped.

What is this to do?

Do you want to fire me?

I am short of money now. After all, my wife is taking care of her two-year-old daughter at home, so she needs money! How can I not have a job?

"You misunderstood."

Zhu Ke laughed in a daze and said, "I plan to acquire a Hollywood film company in the near future, yes, the smaller one; the original film company manager, I think he can't do it, do you want to try it? Of course, you can also choose to refuse and continue the job."

"I accept it! I'm very eager to join in."

Victor can't help but feel in love. After all, he has been in Hollywood for nearly ten years. This relationship cannot be said to be given up. Now the opportunity is right in front of you, how can you let it go?

...........

In a blink of an eye, half a month passed.

After Pixar Animation's market value exceeded US$1 billion, Zucker chose to settle liquidation without hesitation. The income ratio did not reach 10 times that Zucker expected, but it also reached 4 times.

It's terrifying enough!

"The investment of $6 million has turned into more than $24 million in half a month, and the profit of $15 million is quite good."

Zhu Ke, who holds more than 20 million US dollars in cash flow, is undoubtedly in a good mood.

Three days later.

Zucker, Victor and Condy finally reached an agreement after a week of negotiations with Hughes Pictures.

Spending $2.8 million in wealth, Zucker completed the full equity acquisition of Hughes Films and changed the name of the film company to Wald Pictures!

Full name: Juke Wald Film Entertainment.

Yes, Zhuke is so narcissistic.

"Look at Disney and Warner's two film media groups, which one is not named after its surname? This is to write its own name into the history of film!"

The other four of Hollywood's six major companies, Paramount, Columbia, Universal, and Twentieth Century Fox, are also great, but who is not a person who is familiar with Hollywood's history, will remember their founder?

Zhuke's current total net worth is close to $30 million. As a time traveler, he firmly believes that he will be richer in the future. Shouldn't he pursue more?

For example: engraved in the history of film!

"Zuke, congratulations, starting today, you will officially become a member of Hollywood!" Kangdy looked at Zuke and smiled.

"Condy, congratulations, I also earned $10,000 from me!" Zucker said.

Upon hearing this, Kangdi's mouth twitched slightly: "You vampire, my fee is low enough. If you want to change someone else, you don't have 30,000 US dollars, you won't even see it."

"Thank you, my friend."

Zhu Ke is really sincere in this sentence.

Generally speaking, companies responsible for taking over the acquisition case will have to pay a considerable commission, and the market price of acquisition cases below 10 million US dollars is at least 5%;

Michael Orwitz, one of the founders of CAA, is one of the representatives of acquisitions in the entertainment industry.

In 1989, Sony Group acquired Columbia Film Company, one of the six major Hollywood film companies for US$3.4 billion, and paid Orwitz a personal commission of US$35 million; in 1990, Panasonic Group acquired MCA for US$6.59 billion, and also paid a high commission of US$40 million.

In this way, Kangdi's charges are really not expensive.

This time, he gave Zhuke a big friendly price!

Of course, with Zhuke's vampire-like attributes, he would not expect to get a high service fee.

"Victor, you are now the CEO of Wald Pictures, so I will wait and see." Zucker said suddenly.

Upon hearing this, Victor Jones immediately said, "Boss, I will definitely not let you down."

Zhuke nodded and took Condy away from Wald Pictures. As for the agreed speech in front of all employees after the acquisition of the company, Zhuke did not participate.

As for boss, you have to control the employees!

Well, that's not the case.

Generally speaking, after the new boss acquires the company, he will increase the salary and benefits of his employees by more or less by 10% to 20%, which is not a small amount of money. Juke, no one can make more money from me, Wald, will be online again!

Of course, Zucker still has work to work now!

"Since the acquisition of Hollywood is completed, start making movies as soon as possible."

Zhuke couldn't help but be excited.

Make a movie!
Chapter completed!
