Coquettish Rebirth

() After Jia Hongjian tried using the futureslash software, he was surprised to find that the basic functions of this software are similar to the basic functions of flash!Moreover, the composition of shortcut keys for many functions is similar!This really made Jia Hongjian feel that this thing is exactly the same as flash!

In this way, could it be that flash is actually called slash in this era?And it's not owned by adobe at all?In this way, why don't Huaxia Hi-Tech acquire this futurewave company?After thinking about this, Jia Hongjian simply decided to investigate this futurewave company a little bit.After investigation, I found out that this futurewave company was originally a small company jointly established by the old men.These three people are Charlie Jackson, Jonathan Gay, and Michelle Welsh. Speaking of Charlie Jackson, this person is barely related to Jia Hongjian. The magazine's most popular columnist, and this Charlie Jackson is one of the early investors of "Wired" magazine! ..

This small company called futurewave established by these three people has very interesting products. In addition to a similar flash software called futuerslash, they also released a two-dimensional animation production software earlier this year.Jia Hongjian didn't know exactly what this software does, but it seems that such a company is quite helpful to the Huaxia Hi-Tech Department. At least this [-]D animation production software is good for Pixar and Huami Animation.

Therefore, Jia Hongjian thought about buying this company.But here, after Jia Hongjian sent an inspection application to Futurewave in the name of Huamei Animation.The invitation letter from the other party came a bit slowly.And when Jia Hongjian came to San Diego near Los Angeles on the west coast of the United States, or San Diego as it is called in later generations, the indifference and absent-mindedness of the futurewave company's reception were even more noticeable! ..

Such an attitude obviously displeased Ye Jing, the young lady who accompanied Jia Hongjian.In her opinion, Jia Hongjian came in person this time, even if Jia Hongjian didn't reveal his identity, he was not inspecting him as the CEO of a well-known company, or even as an employee of a not-so-famous animation factory in China. They came in name, but their reception attitude is too bad?What's so exciting, isn't it just a small company with dozens of people?

the next day.Jia Hongjian and Ye Jing are in the futurewave company in San Diego.Met the three founders of this company. "Mr. Jia, welcome, is the jet lag reversed?" Charlie Jackson asked very enthusiastically. "Fortunately, I often run on both sides. I'm used to it. And now I'm in good health. I can hold on." Jia Hongjian and Ye Jing replied with a smile.Here, Jia Hongjian and others, under the introduction of Charlie Jackson, shook hands with the two founders and said hello.

Among the other two founders, there is a guy named Jonathan Gay.This person is not really a gay, nor is it Jia Hongjian's spoof, but this person's surname is somehow, or the English status of the word gay, so why does Jia Hongjian call him?

Just a few seconds after I sat down here, I heard Michelle Welsh, the founder of Xingxing, say: "Mr. Jia, you are here in San Diego, do you want to buy our company? It's a coincidence that you just posted When we applied, a company called Edia in San Francisco also expressed to us the idea of ​​acquiring our company..."

What?Someone actually came to snatch the business?This caused Jia Hongjian to ponder. Is such news true or false?It is true that there is such a thing as Edia, this company that was later acquired by Adobe, Jia Hongjian knows a little bit about it.This company owns a lot of software used on the Internet, such as Dreamweaver software used to build websites, such as network mapping software Fireworks, such as flash, such as flashplayer, etc. Later, it was because Adobe spent 34 billion US dollars After acquiring this company, they have Edia company. If they also want to acquire this futurewave, then can it prove that this futurewave company is the well-known one in the industry that produced Edia company? Maybe because the two are from China. I understand that this company has been listed on NASDAQ and has sufficient funds. Last year, their annual sales exceeded 1 million US dollars. Our company's resources are relatively limited, so it may be too late to receive you... ..." Listening to what Michelle Wales said, Jia Hongjian felt relieved at the time! Why? The annual turnover of this Edia company is only 5 million US dollars, which is far inferior to that of Sherlock Holmes! Holmes' company is only online The annual turnover of shopping is already 40 million U.S. dollars, and the market value of Sherlock Holmes, which is also listed on NASDAQ, is as high as [-] billion U.S. dollars! The advertising services provided by search engines, etc., add up to [-] or [-] million a year Billion dollars in sales! To put it bluntly, it is not impossible for Holmes to take over the Edia company with two years of net profit! Facing such a company, Jia Hongjian and his Huaxia Gaoke, how could you feel the pressure?

"Still... we haven't talked about the price yet, we're just getting in touch... After all, they're a listed company..." Just as Michelle was talking in embarrassment, Jia Hongjian directly offered the price, "500 Ten thousand dollars, the three of you bring your employees and intellectual property.”

At this time, Jia Hongjian was quite domineering. When he said 500 million US dollars, it was like throwing 50 US dollars at random. He didn't take money as money!At this time, the Americans were dumbfounded. You must know that this year is different from 2012.In 2012, the whole world knew that China was rich, and the most bad companies in the world hoped to be acquired by Chinese companies, but no one knew that China was rich these days. Everyone thought that China Poor, there is an unknown company here, who suddenly wants to dump 500 million, how can they accept this?

Seeing the three people dumbfounded, Jia Hongjian continued to explain to the west: "The $500 million is for the three of you, and you can divide it among yourself. I only want the full ownership and all the shares of the company. After you sign the contract, You can continue to work in the company and continue to lead the company forward. Even all employees can stay on, and the contract does not need to be re-signed. How about it, think about it?"

At this time, the three people really looked at each other in blank dismay!They didn't expect that a Chinese company that came out of nowhere, a little-known Chinese company, could throw out 500 million US dollars to buy their company. This, this, this... What's the situation? ?After the three of them stared at each other for a while, Charlie Jackson asked, "Mr. Jia, we don't know the detailed information about your Huamei Animation company because of the lack of consultation. Can you introduce us to us?" Shall we take a moment?"

"Huamei Animation? It's a subsidiary of the Shanghai Art Film Factory. As for our company, we once produced the cartoon "Pokemon"..." Jia Hongjian didn't need to introduce the identity of Huaxia Hi-Tech as the parent company at all, because In order to save money, he bought it in the name of a subsidiary company like Huamei Animation!What if you show off that your company is big, but when people see a big family coming, what should you do if the asking price is high?Isn't that being taken advantage of?Moreover, it is definitely not a good thing to keep these people in the future and be taken advantage of by future subordinates!

""Pokemon"? Is it the supporting cartoon of the popular handheld game on GB last year?" After seeing Jia Hongjian nodding, the American trio nodded, and they understood. If this is the case, Then this gorgeous animation should have a lot of funds, and it shouldn't be some strange small factory...

"Mr. Jia, this gorgeous animation won't have much to do with the Chinese government or the military? Our software..." The three of them seem to be worried about cooperating with evil forces. "Don't worry, if the Chinese government or the military want to find someone to cooperate with, they won't seek cooperation with an animation software company. The relationship between us is purely commercial." Jia Hongjian replied with a light smile.

By the way, after the U.S. emperor's eavesdropping and monitoring and attacks on China's Internet were exposed in the past two days, looking at other American media, none of them went against the government, and they all cleaned up the ground.The act of calling a thief to catch a thief has been beautified as "scholars are stealing, not stealing". It is said that after the US emperor attacks China, the news he gets will not be given to any company, so it is completely different from the nature of Chinese hacker attacks, just like One is an apple and the other is an orange... Tsk tsk, washed here, this high level (to be continued.)
