Hollywood Director 1992

Monica and Jennifer and a few others inadvertently discovered that the two were secretly working overtime at the company.

Everyone was very dissatisfied with Liu Xiaoli's behavior of 'stealing food,' believing that her actions seriously affected the income of others and must be strictly prohibited.

After deliberation by the Family Committee, it was decided to deduct Liu Xiaoli's two chances to share the main building's bedroom resources this month as a disciplinary measure.

Others should take this as a warning, abide by the rules, and not repeat the offense.

However, as a concerned party, Link knew that this kind of thing could not be stopped, and even Monica and Jennifer, two core members, would violate it many times, let alone others.

The last time Liu Xiaoli was discovered was because her acting skills were too poor.

Whether it was the sound of her voice, or her walking posture, movements, expressions, or anything else, they all exposed her actions.

Others have better acting skills, and after the fact, they cover it up and don't wander around the villa, so ordinary people can't see it.

The next day, Saturday, the weather was nice.

The sunshine on Beverly Hills was clear, the white clouds were leisurely, the spring breeze turned the trees and forests on both sides of the boulevard green, and turned the azaleas and Diana roses in the botanical garden red, and also dispersed the hair and skirts of the beauties on the runway, and everywhere was full of spring.

In the morning, Link got up early to exercise, playing tennis, badminton, and doing aerobics with several women.

After training, Link began to measure his weight.

Since last year, every time his physical fitness has increased, he has conducted physical tests, including weight, height, endurance, lung capacity, stamina, 100-meter speed, 10,000-meter speed, 100-kilogram snatch/clean and jerk, reaction ability, etc.

Currently, his height is 187 cm, an increase of 0.7 cm compared to 1992, not a big change.

His weight is 105 kg, an increase of 32 kg compared to the beginning of 1992.

Although his weight is more than ten kilograms more than the standard weight, his body shape is not fat at all, nor does he have as much excess fat as a fitness athlete.

His muscles are still firm and well-proportioned, and the muscle density and hardness have obviously increased, and the actual weight is heavier than the visually estimated weight.

Monica and the others also often say that he doesn't look heavy, but he's dead heavy when he's pressed on them.

There is also endurance, lung capacity, stamina and other data, the current measured changes are not significant, after a while, when he is fully adapted to the 25% physical bonus, the data changes will be more obvious.

With his current level, the world's highest-level athletes are not even one-tenth of him.

If the system subsidies only calculated movie aspects, he could earn a lot of money as an athlete.

At noon, at the urging of several women, Link changed his clothes to go shopping in the commercial district at the foot of the mountain, and by the way, met with Jobs to chat.

In the past, he needed to swipe his card when shopping.

Now, it's completely unnecessary. After more than two years of hard work and his subsidies, the women in the family have almost all achieved financial freedom. Even those who are not completely free have a net worth of hundreds of thousands of dollars and are not short of money to buy luxury goods.

The purpose of bringing him along is to provide emotional value.

For example, after buying a beautiful dress, they would ask him which one looks good; after buying sexy underwear, they would ask him to choose the color and style; after buying rings and watches, they would buy him a copy by the way to make a couple's set.

When he accompanied the women shopping, many paparazzi ran over to watch and take pictures.

Link didn't care about this.

When he first entered Hollywood, he also thought about being a good man, with one official girlfriend on the surface and dozens in secret.

However, this kind of thing is very difficult to operate, and his opponents will not give him a chance to pretend, and will also use these things to attack his reputation.

Link simply didn't pretend, I am a scumbag, a blatant scumbag, report it however you want.

The women around him are the same.

At first, some were worried that this kind of relationship would affect their acting careers and public image, so they would do some cover-ups in public, and when accepting media interviews, they would say that they were ordinary friends, and appreciated his talent more than anything else.

Now they are becoming more and more indifferent to the eyes of outsiders, and they will boldly kiss him in public, hold his arm tightly, and do not hide the close relationship between them, and sometimes there will be fights.

In this situation, Link would be very envious of Nezha, who has three heads and six arms.

In 1985, he failed in the internal company struggle, and Jobs was forced to leave Apple.

He took the money from selling his shares and founded Pixar Animation and NeXT Computer, trying to make a comeback.

In recent years, Jobs has done well in Pixar Animation, but NeXT Computer's performance is average, and it doesn't have much fame in the computer market.

And after Apple Computer left his leadership, the situation became worse and worse, and it was left behind by its peers in both software and hardware. The original market share was also taken over by computer technology companies such as HP, IBM, and Microsoft. Now it has begun to develop cameras, printers, etc.

The market value has also shrunk from the original tens of billions to the release and popularization of the 3dows95 system. Apple Computer's market share has once again fallen rapidly, and the market value continues to decline, almost on the verge of collapse.

At this time, Jobs is probably the most concerned about the survival of Apple.

Link knew that his ambition was not in animated films, so he arranged for Joe Feller to contact him to discuss the possibility of acquiring Pixar Animation.

Jobs proposed to meet him, probably because his attitude on this matter has softened.

"Hi, Steve, long time no see, you still look so serious."

When "Interstellar Travel" was published in 1993, Jobs appeared at his signing event, and as a book fan, he asked him a few questions about the book, including the design and application of future computers and mobile phones.

Link answered patiently.

Jobs was very satisfied with his answer, and also accepted the invitation of the book editor to write a preface for the novel, and wrote a lot of praise for him in the preface.

The two can be regarded as acquaintances who have dealt with each other.

"Hey, Link, am I disturbing your shopping?"

Jobs asked, pinching his chin's beard.

“You saw it? Okay, I was just accompanying them for a walk. My main purpose was to see you.”

Link sat down and ordered an iced coffee. The weather in Los Angeles was getting warmer in April, and a cold drink was needed to dispel the heat.

“Link, your lifestyle is enviable.”

“Enviable?”

Hearing Jobs' words, Link was quite surprised and smiled, “Steve, don't you think I'm being decadent and vulgar, indulging in pleasure and neglecting my ambitions?”

“Link, I've learned about you. You have plenty of energy and strong self-control. You are serious and diligent in your work. You are also very skilled in starting and managing companies, constantly improving company performance. Outside of work, you also have a rich and colorful private life.

You can handle both work and family life well without making a mess of either. Among the entrepreneurs I know, no one can compare to you.”

Jobs pointed at Link.

Link smiled lightly. Jobs was also quite the ladies' man in his younger days.

In the early 1980s, when his career was successful, he met folk singer Joan Baez. Joan Baez was originally the lover of the famous singer Bob Dylan, while Jobs also had a girlfriend, Barbara Jasinski, at that time.

Jobs was a die-hard fan of Bob Dylan, liking his songs and his women.

After meeting Joan Baez, Jobs broke up with his former girlfriend and immediately started dating Joan Baez.

Later, he had several more relationships before finally getting married in '91 at the age of 36.

Jobs also has an illegitimate daughter.

This is probably why he envies Link's ability to handle both work and family well.

After a few casual words, the two went from strangers to familiar again.

Link prepared to start talking business, “Steve, have you been paying attention to Apple's stock lately?”

Jobs frowned, surprised by his question, “No, why ask about Apple's stock?”

“I have more than 600,000 shares of Apple stock. Apple's situation has been very poor recently, and the stock price is falling rapidly. The Wall Street Journal reported that after Microsoft released the Windows 95 system, Apple's market share has shrunk sharply, and the stock price will continue to fall. It will go bankrupt within the next three years. My investment manager also advises me to sell the Apple stock in my hand as soon as possible.

You are also an expert in the computer industry. I would like to hear your opinion. What do you think of the continued decline in Apple's stock price? How big is the risk of continuing to hold Apple stock?”

Link said slowly.

Jobs frowned, touching the stubble on his chin, and said,

“In recent years, Microsoft and IBM have expanded extremely rapidly, almost becoming the dominant players in the computer software and hardware industries, while Apple has retreated significantly in the past decade. It cannot compete with companies such as Microsoft in terms of market and technology. If Apple does not make adjustments in the next few years, it will 100% go bankrupt.”

“So, there is no hope for Apple at all?”

Link looked at Jobs.

Jobs seemed reluctant to answer this question and said in a deep voice,

“Of course there is. I said that industrial adjustments must be made in a timely manner. Apple still has many cutting-edge technologies in its hands, but the company's development has gone in the wrong direction. It is extremely foolish to study cameras instead of computers.”

“Indeed. If you were to return to Apple, would you be confident in saving Apple?”

Link smiled.

Jobs was about to open his mouth to answer, but suddenly stopped and looked at him suspiciously, “Link, we should be here to discuss the acquisition of Pixar Animation, not Apple.”

Link smiled lightly, “I like the Apple computers you designed, as well as your design ideas. This is very much in line with my vision for computers in the future world. I think you are an entrepreneur who can lead the technological trends of the era.

So I want to cooperate with you, support you in returning to Apple, and use your abilities to make Apple great again, let Apple's technology lead the world's technology trends, and at the same time, use Apple to turn my ideas in 'Interstellar' into reality.”

Jobs touched the stubble on his chin and fell into deep thought.

If someone else said they would help him return to Apple, he wouldn't even bother with them, but this was said by Link.

Link is worth more than three billion dollars and is a giant in the entertainment industry.

Apple's current market value is 3.6 billion US dollars, and in another six months, it will probably fall below 3 billion.

With Link's strength, he is fully capable of controlling Apple's board of directors and helping him return to Apple.

It's just that there is no free lunch in the world. It is impossible for Link to help him unconditionally.

Jobs opened his mouth to ask about the conditions, but suddenly realized that from the moment they met until now, Link had been in control of the topic, and he could only answer passively.

He has been in the business world for more than ten years, managing large companies worth billions of dollars, and has dealt with many powerful people. He can be regarded as an industry elite, but now he has become so passive in the face of Link, a young man in his early twenties.

Jobs secretly admired Link. Link is indeed a prominent figure in Hollywood, with the ability and skill to become a formidable figure in other industries as well.

“Link, I haven't considered returning to Apple yet. If I do, I will consider your proposal.

Now let's talk about Pixar Animation. Guess Pictures is a live-action film production company with no experience in producing animated films.

I want to know how you will ensure that Pixar stays on track after merging with Pixar Animation and continues to research computer animation technology, rather than becoming a failed investment due to mismanagement.”

Jobs said with a serious expression.

Link smiled lightly. As a director, he has a keener eye than ordinary people and knows how to observe people's expressions. Judging from his performance just now, Jobs must have been moved by his proposal to 'return to Apple'.

Seeing that Jobs didn't want to continue talking about this matter, Link didn't force it.

He began to return to the topic and explained to Jobs Guess Pictures' layout in the computer animation industry and how Guess Pictures started from scratch and forged a different path from Disney's in the film animation industry.
