"Why, do you think computer animation has a good foreground?" Jobs's eyes seemed to flash with something.
"Of course, since I believe in realistic, full-CG movies, how could I not believe in the future of computer animation?" Adriaan shrugged. "Society is always improving, just like color movies eventually replaced black-and-white movies."
"But you haven't invested in computer animation, so you don't know how it's made, so it's not very convincing," Jobs laughed, as if he had caught on.
"I've thought about it, but I don't have the right project." Adriaan spread his hands, then said to Jobs in a joking tone, "Or do you have something to recommend?"
"In that case, I do have one," Jobs said in a casual tone, pushing up his glasses.
"Really?" Adriaan raised his eyebrows, showing a natural look of interest.
"I have a studio that produces computer animation and develops new computer software. Maybe you'll be interested." After a pause, Jobs added, "It won an Oscar for Best Animated Short Film."
"Oscar for Best Animated Short Film?" Adriaan tilted his head. "Let me think … I think it's called Pixar?"
"Bingo!" Jobs snapped his fingers. "Allow me to express my admiration for your memory."
"Thank you, I've always had a good memory." Adriaan smiled meaningfully. "So I remember that Pixar has been losing money since you bought it from Lucas."
"That's right." Jobs did not deny it. "Any brand new project loses money before it makes a profit. We are a pioneer in computer animation, so it's normal to lose money, and the losses have always been within acceptable limits. If NeXT didn't need to expand, I certainly wouldn't want to sell it. "
"You plan to sell Pixar to expand NeXT?" Adriaan narrowed his eyes.
"Yes, after all, my business is on the personal computer, and computer animation is incidental. But it depends. Pixar has a lot of experience in computer animation since its inception, "Jobs said matter-of-factly." So I'm not going to consider it without the right price. "
Adriaan stroked his chin and pretended to think for a few minutes. Then, he nodded. "Now that you mention it, I'm really interested. Why don't we arrange a time to visit Pixar? How about tomorrow?"
Jobs looked at him with some surprise, and then there was a flash of ecstasy behind his glasses. "As you wish, Eide."
The alarm clock began to tick. A white lotus root-like arm reached out from the cup and hit it. The sound immediately stopped. A few minutes later, Charlize, with her disheveled hair and slightly opened eyes, looked around with a confused look, and sighed. Then, she flipped over the quilt and sat up. She stretched lazily, and her naked, white body looked extremely seductive.
Just as she stretched out her legs to get out of bed, another arm stretched out from under the quilt, wrapped around her waist from behind, and pulled her back.
"Good morning, my little lamb," Adriaan said with a smile after kissing her smooth shoulder.
"Who's your little lamb?" Charlize, who was in his arms, said angrily.
"Little lamb knows in her heart." Adriaan laughed, and his hands began to move up and down her seductive body. "It's such a beautiful morning, why don't we do something more suitable."
"Didn't you do enough last night?" Charlize, who struggled a little and stopped moving, said in a sullen tone.
"Last night was last night, and now is now." Adriaan's hands had already grabbed her perky buttocks. Compared to the pair of soft, not plump, round buttocks with a perfect curve felt better.
Charlize groaned in a low voice, still struggling for the last time. "Don't forget, you have a date today."
"Of course, I know, but it won't take much time, right?" Adriaan suddenly stopped moving his hands, looked at the girl, and chuckled twice. "Don't you think it's a bad thing to waste such a beautiful morning?"
Looking at Adriaan's smiling face, Charlize tried to find some impatience or something else that would make her feel disgusted. Unfortunately, the pair of pitch-black eyes full of love did not give her what she wanted.
Therefore, after gritting her teeth, she suddenly turned over and rode on his body. The pair of soft breasts that were not plump also became seductive peaches because of her body leaning forward. "Then I'll show you how amazing I am!"
When Charlize finally dressed herself up and came down from upstairs to the living room, her legs were still a little weak.
Damn Eide! She thought angrily in her heart. Although she was angry, in fact, there was not much disgust. Instead, it was more like a rebuke between lovers. Charlize quickly realized this and then sighed softly.
If it wasn't for the fact that I found such a job with great difficulty, if I wasn't worried about quitting so quickly and not being qualified to get a recommendation letter, I would have quit long ago! Although she continued to say so in her heart, she also knew very well that to a large extent, it was just self-comfort. Although this was indeed the reason why she endured for a long time, now it had lost its persuasiveness.
No, no, no, it was not that it had lost its persuasiveness, but it had become less important. Charlize argued in her heart, but soon she sighed again. I must be stupid to actually make that kind of agreement with this bastard.
When she thought of the situation that day, she had the urge to cover her forehead.
"If I need you, I will naturally look for you, but at other times, please don't harass me." She actually said it so confidently at that time!
Well, she admitted that although Adriaan was a complete bastard, it was impossible to hate him. Especially when he raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a penetrating gaze and a little smirk, all the harsh words would become flirting. Moreover … Charlize subconsciously frowned. Some images flashed in her mind, making her feel disgusted and sigh.
At least, the pleasant feeling when making love with him could make her forget everything … Forget it, don't think about it, it will only make my thoughts a mess. Charlize rubbed the sides of her head. After sitting on the sofa for a few minutes, she stood up and walked to the kitchen.
"Good morning, Mrs. Galen." Charlize greeted the middle-aged woman in the kitchen with a slight surprise. She did not expect the housekeeper to come so early.
"Good morning, Miss Charlize." Mrs. Galen nodded and responded without enthusiasm, "If Mr. Adriaan comes down, please invite him to the dining room and have a seat. Breakfast will be ready soon."
"Thank you, I got it." Charlize wanted to say something, but looking at Mrs. Galen's indifferent face, she shrugged and turned to walk out.
She knew that this was just Mrs. Galen's habitual reaction, not to express her dissatisfaction with her. The impression that Adriaan's ex-girlfriend left on Mrs. Galen was too deep and too good, so she was unconsciously resistant to the women he brought home and had a relationship with.
Eide's ex-girlfriend … seemed to be called Kate? What kind of woman was she? Charlize could not help but think so, but then she knocked her head and reminded herself not to worry about it. Anyway, after a year and a half, when she was no longer in such a dilemma, she could resign and leave. Was there a need to care about this?
Of course, whether this thought was self-comfort or something else, Charlize chose to ignore it.
Breakfast was very sumptuous. Coffee, vegetable salad, bacon, and fried eggs. Mrs. Galen's cooking was good, but it was a little greasy and did not meet the requirements of a nutritious breakfast. But for Adriaan, this was good enough. It was better than eating something undercooked. He did not like steak, and veal was the bottom line.
After breakfast, Adrian, who was dressed neatly, went out. He still had important things to do today. If it were not for the information about Jobs and Pixar in his memory, he might have been intimidated by Jobs's words last night. Several years of losses had made Jobs lose confidence in Pixar and computer animation. Besides, he bought Pixar for its hardware and software development capabilities. If he had not asked for such a high price, he would have sold it a long time ago.
But on the other hand, Jobs was indeed a good businessman. He talked about continuous losses as a way to go. In the end, he pretended to say that he would not sell Pixar if it was not at the price he wanted. This inadvertently raised Pixar's status in the minds of people who were interested in buying it.
What kind of surprise will you give me, Steve? Adriaan pinched his chin and said in his heart.
"Speaking of which, this is the first time I've seen you so excited about doing something other than movies," Charlize, who was sitting next to him sorting out documents, suddenly said.
"There are a lot of things you don't know, Charley." Adriaan said with a smile, "When you stay with me for a long time, you will know that there are more unexpected things about me."
Charlize shrugged as if he did not hear the pun, "You seem to value this studio a lot."
"Yes," Adriaan nodded, "Pixar will be one of the important cornerstones of my empire."
At this point in time, no one knew what Pixar represented, and no one believed that computer animation would be developed to a new height in the future. Even Jobs, who talked about new computer technology last night.
This was the advantage of being reborn.
Yes, Pixar would be one of the very important cornerstones. Think about what the original foundation of Disneyland was. Of course, Pixar alone was not enough. Adriaan already had a complete plan in mind.
