Hello 1983

And movie fans didn't feel fooled, which didn't affect their liking in the slightest. Those animated images had already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

It is foreseeable that further sequels can be filmed in the future, which is really a lot of money.

Even the market value of Columbia Pictures has soared.

Having an excellent IP is a precious asset for a film company.

In addition to the box office, the peripherals of the two-step movie can also generate a lot of income.

Especially for Toy Story, after the broadcast, many toy manufacturers received letters of intent for cooperation, hoping to be authorized to produce toys.

If this aspect is done well, the income will not be worse than the box office, and it will still be a long-term meal ticket.

Several other big film companies are envious, especially Disney and DreamWorks, and they have also begun to make efforts to make animated films.

Among other things, the ability of animation movies to attract money is really not so strong.

But Columbia was already one step ahead, especially with the best team at Pixar.

The old story of Liu Qingshan's acquisition of Pixar was also found out by interested people, and it was immediately touted as a successful investment case.

The original purchase price was as high as [-] million yuan, and many people laughed at it as being taken advantage of.

Now there is nothing else to do, just this Toy Story, it has completely paid off.

Moreover, the valuation of Pixar has now exceeded one billion U.S. dollars, and will continue to appreciate in the future.

In fact, when it was acquired by Disney in 70, Disney paid more than [-] billion in stock with a market value.

Liu Qingshan has also been sought after again. After all, in this place of the United States, people who can create wealth legends are more popular than the president. The president is basically a poor guy whose shoes are thrown.

He has also accepted many interview invitations from magazines and TV stations, such as Forbes and Fortune.

Liu Qingshan finally chose Forbes and agreed on a time for the interview.

But before that, he had to bid farewell to Xiao Lao Si, Wu Tong and others. School was about to start, and Xiao Lao Si should also go back to school.

The fifth child also wanted to return to Lilan to continue her dream. Qian Yuzhen also thought about it, and did not stop her daughter.

And Wu Tong, after the success of Kung Fu Panda, is preparing to start a new plan and needs to return to China to prepare.

The first step is to recruit people, and then bring them over to study and practice in Pixar Studios.

That is to say, there is the boss Liu Qingshan, otherwise, those guys in the Pixar studio would not teach outsiders.

In the end, only Liu Qingshan stayed here with Li Tie and Li Tieniu, and by the way, there was also the little six, but the little six went to wander around in several other Huaxia hospitals.

Liu Qingshan mainly spends time at Pixar Studios, working with these creative staff to study the next step of animation film creation.

Studio lead brother John Russell believes that they are ready to engage in Toy Story [-].

"That way the audience will be fatigued." Liu Qingshan explained his opinion.

Russell chuckled: "Boss, you must have a good idea, tell us about it?"

It turned out that they were waiting here, Liu Qingshan didn't mind Russell's little tricks, and he was planning to give them guidance so as not to go astray.

After thinking for a while, Liu Qingshan said confidently: "We can actually make a general mobilization series."

Russell whistled: "Boss, you just said me, don't you want to continue working on Toy Story?"

Liu Qingshan waved his hand: "It doesn't have to be Toy Story, it can be The Incredibles, it can be Robot Story, we want to turn Story into a huge series and become the symbol of Pixar!"

It was obvious that the production staff headed by Russell became short of breath.

They didn't expect that their boss had such great ambitions.

Still, that's exactly what they need.

So everyone got together and started to save notebooks, design images, and write copywriting. Regardless of whether they were photographed or not, they first got things out and registered first.

This is Liu Qingshan's plan: to go his own way, so that other film companies have nowhere to go.

After Liu Qingshan told the storyline of the Shrek monster, he was immediately welcomed by these guys. Russell said on the spot: Let's do this!

And Liu Qingshan was finally able to find time to accept an interview with Forbes magazine.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Forbes magazine was founded in 1917 and is named after the creator Forbes, and the current successor is Steve Forbes.

After the launch of the Forbes Rich List in 1982, Forbes and Fortune magazine gradually formed a scene of two heroes competing for hegemony.

Forbes' headquarters is in the Big Apple, and a special interview team came to Los Angeles to interview Liu Qingshan.

"Mr. Mountain, I'm Randall."

The reporter who was in charge of interviewing Liu Qingshan shook hands with him very enthusiastically, and then handed Liu Qingshan a piece of paper with the outline of the interview on it.

After Liu Qingshan glanced at the outline, he put it on the coffee table: "Mr. Randall, I am very dissatisfied with your magazine. You miscalculated my assets."

Randall was taken aback. This kind of thing really happened before. It was Prince Hamed who had a good relationship with Liu Qingshan.

He felt that Forbes magazine had undercounted his assets by several billions, and as a result, his ranking was photographed at No. [-].

Otherwise, it would be ranked in the top ten, so Hamed sued Forbes magazine in a fit of anger: Who do you look down on!

I only heard Liu Qingshan continue: "Many of my assets are mortgaged by banks or other people, and they are owed. How can they be included in it, so this is unreasonable."

Randall understood a little bit, and couldn't help laughing a few times: "Then Mr. Mountain, you won't sue us too?"

Liu Qingshan also laughed, and the atmosphere immediately became relaxed and joyful.

Then Randall explained: "Since the bank agrees to your mortgage, it means that I am worth it, and it is often worth more than it is worth, just like your Earth Network and Columbia Pictures, which are continuing to appreciate in value."

"So, Mr. Mountain, your assets are less, not more."

This is true. These foreign banks don’t like to do business at a loss. For an item worth 5000 million, it is not bad if he can mortgage [-] million for you.

Bankers have never been charitable.

After chatting for a while and getting acquainted with each other, Randall officially started the interview:

"Mr. Mountain, first of all, on behalf of Forbes Magazine, please allow me to congratulate you on becoming the youngest billionaire!"

Randall is already in middle age, looking at the young and handsome face in front of him, he feels a lot of emotion in his heart:

A 27-year-old billionaire, his personal wealth ranks among the top three in the world, and he has unlimited potential in the future. How can the gap between people be so big?

"The youngest billionaire, isn't Bill?" Liu Qingshan remembered that Gates was called the youngest billionaire when Microsoft went public a few years ago.

And this name will be broken by the person on Facebook in the future.

The Internet industry can always create miracles.

"Mr. Gates was over 30 years old at that time, and you are only 27 years old now." Randall said with a smile.

Liu Qingshan nodded: "Well, in fact, youth is also a kind of wealth, and it is also the greatest wealth that a person has."

"Just like the Queen of Great Britain, if she is asked to give half of her wealth in exchange for 30 years younger, I think she will be very happy."

Now Randall really admires the young man in front of him for speaking such philosophical words.

He nodded sincerely to Liu Qingshan: "Mr. Mountain, I think all young people will be very happy after hearing this."

Liu Qingshan also smiled: "There is an old saying in China, time waits for no one, and timely encouragement, so you still have to take advantage of your youth to work hard to do what you like and create wealth."

Randall joined in at the right time: "So, Mr. Mountain, let me tell you about your entrepreneurial history."

"As far as I know, you are completely self-made, which will be very instructive to everyone."

The rich are also graded. Those who inherit their ancestral business are generally only enviable, such as "why isn't my dad Li XX?" and so on.

Such as the royal families of various countries, as well as the rich N generation in the family, etc., are all like this.

This is basically the case for the top ten on the rich list.

And someone like Liu Qingshan is a bit unique. His wealth is completely created by himself and belongs to the rich generation.

This is not only enviable, but even more admirable.

In foreign society, the pursuit and worship of wealth has never been hidden, so successful people like Liu Qingshan are more sought after.

What follows is Liu Qingshan's narration, which sounds like a legend to Randall and others.

"Mr. Mountain, you are really a lucky son!" Randall couldn't help but marvel.

Liu Qingshan shook his head with a smile: "Goddess of Luck will not favor ignorant and lazy people."

Only then did Randall realize his prejudice, and he nodded in agreement: "Yes, Mr. Mountain, behind the seemingly lucky is actually a manifestation of hard work and strength."

Originally, he wanted to emphasize that Liu Qingshan was a lucky man who was able to obtain huge wealth. After all, writing like this is more legendary.

But now that Randall has changed his mind, knowledge and wisdom are the best companions to change destiny. Isn't this more meaningful?

After finishing the main part of the interview, Randall asked again: "Mr. Mountain, as far as I know, many billionaires are enthusiastic about philanthropy. Will you also donate your property to help others?"

Liu Qingshan shook his head with a smile: "I probably wouldn't do that."

"But, even Soros can do charity." Randall was taken aback. In this part of the United States, doing charity is definitely a compulsory course for the rich and famous.

"Donating to charity, that's just the most untechnical thing to do."

Liu Qingshan said with a smile, "Actually, there are more ways to help others."

"For example, you can open factories to provide employment opportunities for more people, thereby improving their living conditions. Such an approach is more meaningful than direct charity."

Randall nodded: "Mr. Mountain, how did you do it, can you tell me?"

"Of course, like the medical team I organized in Africa, it is dedicated to helping AIDS patients and has achieved good results. These are all free of charge. This form should be more meaningful than direct donations. "

"But even if the condition of these patients is stabilized, it is still not enough to improve their living conditions, so we try to invest there and develop ostrich breeding together."

"Maybe in another year or two, there will be some output. In that case, I can slowly recover the cost of the investment, and the local people will also benefit from it."

Another example is our investment in Liland and the construction of Rainbow City, which has provided at least 30 local aborigines with opportunities to live and work.

"Now they can rely on their own hands to earn money to support their families; they don't have to open their hands and wait for charity from others, so they can live with dignity."

In the end, Liu Qingshan concluded: "In China, there is an old saying that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. I think that teaching those who need help some survival skills will last longer than directly giving them financial assistance."

Randall couldn't help clapping his hands: "Mr. Mountain, what you said is very good, and it is very inspiring. I think more people will benefit from it."

Liu Qingshan smiled: "There is a long way to go to change poverty, and we really need more insightful people to join in."

"In addition to donating money and materials, it is best to guide the poor to use their own hands to create wealth, so that it has a wider significance."

Randall got up and shook hands with Liu Qingshan: "Mr. Mountain, thank you for your teaching, it has benefited me a lot."

When he said this, he completely respected his inner feelings, without any affectation.

After all, many rich people and celebrities do charity now for the sake of charity, and only care about the prestige they get. They don't consider it so meticulously and effectively like Liu Qingshan.

In Randall's view, this is true charity.

He finally realized that Mr. Mountain, a rich man, seemed different from the rich men he had interviewed.

But if he wanted to find out the difference, he was a little confused and couldn't explain clearly.

It's important for Randall to know this, because it may be Mr. Mountain's most unique personality, and he has to capture it for this interview to be truly complete.

Since I don't have a keen eye to discover this, I can only ask:

"Mr. Mountain, can you comment on yourself? I think chatting with you is very different from other rich people."

Liu Qingshan smiled and spread his hands: "Mr. Randall, you know, knowing yourself is the most difficult thing, and I can't do it either."

"You're too modest." Randall didn't want to let go of this crucial question.

After thinking for a while, Liu Qingshan said: "Then I will talk about my own thoughts. It may not be correct, but it is very applicable to me."

"There is an old saying in China, that is, if you are poor, you will benefit yourself, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world. I want to extend this sentence. If you can make more people rich and the overall wealth of the society increases, then you can hope to get more. Great wealth."

These words made Randall fall into deep thinking.

This was the first time he had heard such an argument, and he had no way of judging whether it was right or wrong.

But what is certain is that this kind of peculiar thought was unheard of when he interviewed other rich men before.

Perhaps this is where Mr. Mountain is independent from other tycoons, and it is a characteristic unique to Liu Qingshan.

But no matter what, Randall decided to report truthfully. Maybe it would trigger a wide-ranging social discussion. In that case, his interview would be the most successful.

Unknowingly, the whole morning passed like this, Randall got up and shook hands with Liu Qingshan:

"Mr. Mountain, I would like to thank you sincerely. Thank you for accepting my interview. I hope you can make further progress in the Forbes rich list. Finally, can you tell all readers your advice?"
