After the contracts were drawn open, John asked for privacy with Larry as he didn't wanted his ideas to leak outside the company. Larry understood this and made sure there weren't any hidden recordings or cameras.
John then drew his ideas on the page with the most basic idea of using a search engine and showed how the engines should work. Even though John doesn't understand all the codes and various things required for the search engine he could generally point it out to him. Larry being an experienced guy understood the main points instantly and probably got an inspiration because the other version of him in another universe had already made a technological giant out of a search engine.
John also spoke about the introduction of YouTube but he warned them not to introduce it early. At least till the point where Google has a strong platform and then they can work on other assignments. Larry was very grateful to John for sharing his ideas as he could already envision of what his ideas was going to bring in this world.
It was night by the time the whole process was done. All three of them went to a presidential suite of a 5 star hotel. Valentina went to order food as it was traditional for the Thanksgiving day.
John and the rest were tired after all the travelling the entire day and after having a sumptuous dinner and thanking the gods they all went to sleep with John sleeping by his father's side for the first time.
Even though it felt weird to sleep with someone else, John was too tired to care about as it was his father's request.
The next morning, the Jameson family took a flight to Massachusetts as he had another appointment with another famous guy on another universe.
November 29, 2002
Being the morning just after the thanksgiving dinner it was lazy with many people sleeping in their dormitories. But among them a young guy named Mark was eagerly waiting in a cafe shop outside the Harvard University.
Soon two people walked into the cafe and sat beside Mark while greeting each other.
"Hello Mr. Jameson and Mr. John. To what do I owe the pleasure to meet you all." Mark asked with a huge grin.
John was looking at him from head to toe and trying to figure out if Mark was an alien because there was an ongoing meme in his previous life which said that Mark was an alien as he looked weird. Well John couldn't figure out if it was true or not and it won't matter to him even if he were an alien. Yes! the "Mark". Here is the famous Mark Zuckerberg of his original world.
"Mr. Mark we are here to propose business to you. Are you interested in hearing us out?" John said as Jameson was sipping his coffee. Truth to be said he was pretty angry at that point. His son was flying him across countries and proposing business terms with young kids and he couldn't even get rest in his short vacation. "I shouldn't have taken this small vacation! What a headache with this kid." Jameson lamented in his heart.
Jameson even thought about rejecting his requests but then he remembered John's ideas of search engine and YouTube. John even told him about the use of cloud computing that could be used in the future. Just these ideas alone shook his world as he knew what a search engine could do to this world and the idea of YouTube and cloud computing. At times he wondered if John was really his child or an illegitimate child of Tony Stark because only Tony could come up with such weird and fantastic ideas.
"Mr. Zuckerberg, I would like to help you create a social media platform like Napster but on a much broader and larger self. I will be happily investing an amount of 100 million USD while acquiring an ownership of 70% stocks of the company that we are about to create." John said with a smile.
Mark just froze on the spot after hearing 100 million USD. That was a huge amount of money for Mark at that point of his life and he just shuddered thinking about it. After few seconds he calmed down.
"Mr. John are you sure you are asking this to the right person? I am just a student and I don't even have a company." Mark replied.
"Mr. Mark I am here with the right person. You don't have to worry about that. I just want your assurance of hard work otherwise I wouldn't mind firing you away from the company later." John said with a smirk.
"Fine Mr. John if you are so much confident it would be very rude not to deliver to your trust. I would like to know about this so called social media site that can be bigger than Napster."
Almost at the top!
Since Mark was a single guy the contract negotiations were easier and he also advised him to take the help of his friends while making the website for Facebook as he would need it.
It's still 1 year before the official Facebook to launch. But John just wanted to kick start the whole process. Also, John asked his father to acquire all the remaining stocks for Amazon as that too would be a very big company later. In 2002 Amazon was just taking it's baby steps and many people would be happy to sell their stocks. Of course it should be done very silently otherwise the market price will fluctuate because of it. Jameson assured to John that he would do it as he was using the money from the turnover of the Lion king.
John knew that these small moves of him would solidify his position politically in the future so that no government could even think of toppling his empire later as they tried to do so with Tony in his previous universe. Tony had support of SHIELD but had no one to rely on. He could only rely on himself and his prophetic knowledge.
By December 1st all three returned to Manhattan as John had to start working on his new projects. And Jameson too had to return to his work.
John as usual joined school and worked on new movies such like Toy story, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast and such other animated movies. Even though he couldn't remember all the movies he could bring their copies at the expense of fan values from the original world.
Beauty and the Beast (copy) - 50,000 fan value
Toy Story (copy) - 60,000 fan value
...
John spent a total of 500,000 fan values on all the copies he could remember of Disney animated movies and started working on the drawing. He had a hunch that he needed a massive amount of fan values to bring a whole world to life especially the world he was aiming for.
By January he was ready with another series of arts with all the music required for the new movie Aladdin and Toy Story. He called upon Rob again for directing this animated movie and gave him an idea of how the movie would look like. Rob was instantly excited after hearing the story and was looking forward. Rob assured him that the movie would be complete as soon as possible.
Rob came for the meeting with another director as John asked for it. The director was handed over the story of Toy Story. And this time too John said specifically of how to handle the story.
Both the directors came out of the home of Jameson with a smiling face as they knew the stories in their hands would kick up a storm again.
Jameson was really worried at this point for his son as he could see all he cared about were the animated movies.
"Son I think you should take some rest after this. You have worked hard the past month" Jameson said with a heavy heart. He hoped his son wouldn't become a workaholic like himself and give less time to his family.
Jameson always blamed himself for not noticing the cancer of his late wife due to his over work. By the time he realized it was already late. John could understand his concerns but how could he tell him that if doesn't work hard now it would be too late for him in the future and his destiny wouldn't be in his own hands. He could never allow such thing to happen.
"Dad don't worry, it isn't a lifetime work. I just need a strong platform for myself to work upon in future and live life the way I dream upon." John said. He could even see the concern in Val's eyes too but he couldn't say anything now. Only time would judge of how correct his decisions were now.
"Dad how about starting a new studio company like the ones in Hollywood?" John said after thinking quite a bit of time.
"You mean like the Warner Brothers?" Jameson said as he surprised by his idea.
"Yes dad! We can't always go to other studios for proper management. You can spearhead this whole creation and leave it to proper management for all my upcoming works. I could just direct some artists and animation experts for all my works and my burden will also lessen down." John said sincerely.
"That's a good idea! What will you name the company since it's your brainchild?" Jameson asked.
"How about the name Disney?" John asked with a smile.
Disney is here!
