Seeing that the Windows 95 system is so popular and eroding the market share of the genius operating system, Xia Tian naturally doesn't want to sit still and wait for death.

He immediately asked the Genius Laboratory to recruit personnel to speed up the interface optimization of the genius operating system, and strive to be more beautiful and easy to use than Windows 95.

Given that the Android system developed based on Linux system in the previous life was no worse than the Windows system in terms of interface optimization, Xia Tian was still very confident about the interface optimization of the genius operating system.

At the same time, in order to facilitate the improvement and development of Genius Laboratory, Xia Tian also gave his own suggestions, such as multi-desktop operations, taskbar preview, dynamic icons, magic tile, application drawers, etc.

These are the highlights that will be added to the future Windows system, Android system, and Apple system. Now that it appears in the genius operating system in advance, it will surely make users' eyes shine.

In addition, summer also requires the design style of the genius operating system interface, which is simple and elegant. This helps it win the favor of mid-to-high-end customers.

One of the main reasons why Apple computers are more expensive than other computers under the same configuration, the simple and beautiful Mac-OS system is.

Moreover, not only Apple has this style, but the interface design styles of future Windows systems and Android systems are also imitated by Apple's mac-os system, such as simulative design, flat design, etc.

These suggestions are the result of the common efforts of Microsoft, Apple, Google, and even many Android system developers. They have put in countless efforts, time, energy, and ingenious thinking, and have experienced them personally by tens of billions of users.

For graphic interface designers, every word is worthless.

After listening to Xia Tian’s suggestions, the designers of Genius Laboratory felt their eyes lit up and they were very acknowledged the suggestions given by Xia Tian. They immediately began to develop according to Xia Tian’s guidance.

For Columbia Pictures, Michelle sent someone to discuss stock acquisitions with the company's small and medium shareholders.

However, the progress was not very smooth.

Those small and medium-sized shareholders all think that it is absolutely impossible to only pay $67.5 if they want to complete privatization in summer.

Because they also know that as long as Columbia Pictures is privatized in the summer, they can easily integrate it with Universal Pictures and World Production.

In this way, the largest giant company in Hollywood has ever been born.

Its film library will have as many as 15,000 movies, accounting for about half of the total Hollywood film library;

Its theaters will account for nearly 40% of the North American theater market share, and its distribution capabilities will be unrivaled;

Its employees will have as many as 40,000 and has the largest studio in the world, and its production capabilities will be greatly improved...

According to external estimates, once the three companies merge successfully, the valuations of the three companies will be greatly improved, and it is likely to exceed US$30 billion. With such a high valuation, it can almost buy all the other four giants in Hollywood.

Before that, the three companies had a maximum valuation of about 22 billion US dollars. That is to say, Xia Tian might have made nearly 10 billion US dollars in profits due to this privatization.

In this way, he only spent 3 billion US dollars to take back all the stocks, so these shareholders naturally didn't want to.

They hope to increase the price to at least eighty-five dollars in the summer, which would be more reasonable in their opinion.

...

For a price of 85 US dollars, summer naturally won’t admit it.

Because in this way, he would have to spend at least one billion dollars more. Although the billion dollars is not much for him, the key is to spend the wrong place.

If this billion US dollar is donated to education in the mainland, at least 6,000 Hope Primary Schools can be built to solve the problem of out-of-school children.

If donated to poor and disaster-stricken areas, it can solve the problem of food and clothing for tens of millions of people and lead at least one million people to become rich.

If donated to the country for scientific research and development, a major breakthrough will be achieved in a certain project. For example, Loongson, the leader in the mainland chip manufacturing industry, only used more than one billion yuan in research and development.

But why did those shareholders ask him to spend so much money? When he was giving advice to Columbia Pictures, those shareholders did not give any idea; he provided a loan of $200 million to ensure that it was operating normally, those shareholders did not pay a penny...

But they enjoyed the success of Columbia Pictures' stock price, from the twelve dollars he had when he was not buying, to the fifty-two dollars he had now, making nearly four times the money.

Even so, they were not satisfied and wanted to pay the summer for eighty-five dollars.

Surely Xia Tian won't let them bully.

Even if he throws the money to the beggars on the street, he will be exchanged for a "thank you". But if he gives it to them, not to mention a "thank you", he will be called a "snapper".

...

"Boss, what do you want to do?" Michelle asked Xia Tian.

Only a small number of small and medium-sized shareholders are willing to sell their shares for US$67.5, accounting for about one-five percent of the total shares. Most of the other shareholders are still waiting and watching.

In this way, if summer cannot give the price they want, this privatization will probably be difficult to succeed.

"There is no way. Since I can't continue, I won't be privatized for now." Xia Tian said with a smile.

"Not privatizing anymore?" Michelle was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect Xia Tian to make this decision.

"Yes, no privatization." Xia Tian nodded. "Now, they all think that I will promote the privatization of Columbia Pictures no matter what, so they dare to speak out and ask me for a sky-high price of 85 US dollars. But once I don't implement privatization, their wishful thinking will be dashed."

"But in that case, won't you be able to promote the merger of the three companies?" Michelle asked in confusion when she heard this.

The promotion of privatization in the summer is to facilitate the merger of three film companies. Once privatization is aborted, the merger will become a problem. After all, the shareholders of Columbia Pictures will not miss this opportunity to make trouble, and will definitely come out to make trouble and seek benefits.

"Even if the three companies do not merge, I will be in the company." Xia Tian smiled, "Michelle, I believe you should also know what 'skin peeling and bone removal' means."

"Boss, are you planning to demolish Columbia Pictures?!" Michelle's eyes lit up when she heard this.

Xia Tian nodded, "Of course, it cannot be done too obviously."

The so-called skin peeling and bone removal means that after one party obtains the controlling stake in the company, it will sell the company's high-quality assets at a low price, and in the end there is only one empty shell left.

The so-called buyer is an innocent third party on the surface, but in fact the acquirer has arranged it long ago.

In this way, the assets of the listed company will be emptied, and the acquirer will naturally make a lot of profits, leaving only small and medium shareholders to be damaged.
