Chapter 1257

Eisner can ignore Chapek and other confidantes, but he can’t really ignore their existence. If Chapek and other confidants of Eisner force Eisner to let Disney merge with Comcast Woolen cloth? !

Even if Eisner is the emperor, in the face of forced palace, he would have to issue an edict of guilt, unless he wants to turn his relatives into a poor commander, and no one will listen to what he says, so what is the difference with him being kicked out of Disney? !
What Song Yang used was conspiracy, and he paid attention to being upright. What he proposed to Eisner was huge salary and fame and fortune, giving him a decent retirement, and giving him a large pension.

As for Chapek and others, it is to lure people with profit. Seeing that the giant Eisner is about to be unreliable, at this time a new big money lord is here. Should he continue to stay by the side of the crumbling old emperor Eisner? Congratulations to welcome the new king into Disney, let them continue to retain the power in their hands, and leave it to them to choose!
Eisner, who is old and mature, can see Chapek's choice when he sees Chapek's expression. No accident, as long as the yacht returns, Eisner's confidantes in Disney will probably turn against Concas Whether Eisner is willing or not, this matter is a foregone conclusion.

This is a conspiracy, but also the human nature of gambling. No matter how domineering the old emperor Eisner is, it is impossible to change human nature!
Eisner was silent for a while, but still raised his glass. The situation was stronger than others, which seemed to give him a choice, but in fact, Eisner had no other way to go, either with Comcast The group teamed up to sell the old club, or pack up and leave. For a powerful person like him, it doesn't matter how he chooses!

"If you want to acquire Disney, the alliance of Roy, Gold, and Jobs is the biggest obstacle. They will not allow Disney to be acquired!" Eisner looked at Song Yang and Brian and said.

"Then dismantle their alliance, terminate the cooperation between Disney and Pixar, and drive Jobs' influence out of Disney completely!"

Song Yang directly said that Pixar was Jobs’ greatest reliance in Disney. Joe knew too well that Disney needed Pixar’s animation production capabilities, movie copyrights, and peripheral development of movie characters. Once Pixar announced that it would cut off its cooperation with Disney, Ace Na was the first to be kicked out.

Rather than being attacked by Jobs, it is better to strike first, cut off the cooperation with Pixar in advance, and put it to death.

Once they fell out with Pixar, Joe's influence in Disney disappeared, and Roy and Gold, the biggest foreign aid and reliance, were completely gone.

"After terminating the cooperation with Pixar, Comcast will launch an acquisition from Disney, acquire Disney's equity in the market, and conduct public relations with Wall Street institutions that hold Disney equity, and acquire their equity!

President Eisner, Disney's board of directors needs you to handle it. You have to convince those board members not to oppose Comcast's acquisition! "

Song Yang said directly that if he fell out with Pixar, Disney would have no way out, and then Eisner would step in to deal with the board members of Disney, as long as they did not object to the acquisition.

Disney has been listed for so many years, and its equity has been quite dispersed. Even the Disney family now holds less than 5% of Disney’s equity. BlackRock Fund, Vanguard Fund, State Street and other Wall Street institutions hold more than 27% of Disney In addition to the equity in the market, if you can acquire the equity in the hands of Wall Street institutions and then scan the market, it is estimated that you can buy more than 40% of Disney’s equity and become the largest shareholder. No matter how much Yi, Gold and the others object, they will still be able to force the opponent!
Of course, this is the most ideal result. If the board of directors of Disney cannot be dealt with, or Wall Street institutions are unwilling to sell Disney’s equity, at that time, the extra dollars will be paid, and I don’t know how much, so Eisner is very important. .

Eisner was silent for a while, he could hear the determination in Song Yang's words, he really wanted to swallow Disney by force.

"But if the cooperation with Pixar is terminated, Disney's revenue will be reduced by a large part. Even if the acquisition is completed, Disney will probably be destroyed..."

"No matter what happens to Disney, your position as president will not change!"

Song Yang gave Eisner a reassurance first, and then said, "If we stop cooperating with Pixar now, we may not have opportunities to cooperate again in the future. This is America, and everything is possible. There are no eternal enemies, only eternal beauty. Maybe in the future, Pixar will come back by itself, begging to cooperate with Disney?
Will Hollywood Shut Down Without Pixar? ! "

"As long as the acquisition is completed, Comcast can help Disney acquire Hollywood companies such as DreamWorks and Lucasfilm. Western Films is promoting a new superhero live-action movie. Disney can cooperate with Western Films!"

Pixar's animation production capabilities are strong, but it does not have its own distribution channels. This is the killer weapon for several major Hollywood film groups to take advantage of other small and medium-sized film companies.

Pixar fell out with Disney, and Western Pictures, Warner Pictures, and Universal Pictures will also refuse to cooperate with Pixar, so that more than half of Hollywood giants will refuse to cooperate with Pixar, and even block it, allowing Hollywood stars , I dare not dub Pixar's cartoons!

At that time, Pixar will still be able to cooperate, that is, Paramount, Fox, and Columbia Pictures, but are they fuel-efficient lamps? It would be strange not to squeeze out all the bones of Pixar. Pixar had to come back and find the door to eat back.

Eisner has already been quite moved, losing Pixar, but if he can get Lucasfilm, which owns the "Star Wars" series, or even acquire DreamWorks, which was once established by a deadly rival, or the superhero live-action movie will improve If this is the case, Disney may not be powerless after leaving Pixar!
"I will go and convince the members of the Disney board, but Comcast must also act, there is only one chance, if you miss it, it will never happen again!"

At the end, Eisner also reminded Song Yang and Brian that he was also afraid that they would sell him out. If Comcast quits the game in the end, it would be his bad luck.

At that time, it will not be a question of whether he will leave Disney, but whether he will be able to retreat and spend his old age in peace. Anywhere, the second and fifth boys are more resentful than the enemy. Eisner for so many years Well, his buttocks are not clean either. If the next head of Disney really wants to deal with him, all he needs to do is get an old score, which is enough for Eisner to drink a pot, and he will have to go to the Los Angeles federal court to attend several trials.

After the yacht returned to the pier, Eisner and Chapek left in a low-key manner, and nothing has happened yet. If it is revealed that he is eating inside and outside, then Eisner will no longer have to hang out in Hollywood.

On the private yacht, Song Yang and Brian Roberts watched Eisner leaving, and Brian asked Song Yang, "Song, how sure do you think Eisner is?!"

Song Yang shook his head, "No matter how sure he is, we all need to be prepared. If Eisner can't convince the Disney board of directors, then we will eat it by force!"

Regardless of whether Eisner can make it happen, as long as Disney and Pixar terminate their cooperation, the goal will basically be achieved. Without Pixar, Disney basically has half a leg, and it is at its weakest when it is sick. When it kills.

Brian Roberts nodded, then got up and left, and began to prepare for the acquisition of Disney, a century-old merger involving more than 500 billion dollars, how could it be so easy, Comcast Group needs to hire a public relations company, Wall Street consulting agencies provide assistance for acquisitions. Anyway, as long as this matter starts, it will cost money like water, and there is no way to stop it.

In the car, Eisner was resting with his eyes closed, thinking about the meeting with Song Yang and Brian today. In fact, he also meant to push things along. It's better to choose to fight.

Eisner’s character is that he would rather he lose the world than the world loses it. Disney is not his, and he doesn’t feel bad if it sells. If he wins, he can still be good for a few years and continue to be his Disney emperor. It's a big deal to run away, but Disney shouldn't think about it, especially Roy's Disney family members can't be cheap.

Opening his eyes, he glanced at Chapek, looking full of anticipation, as if expecting that after the new king ascended the throne, he would gain more power, but Eisner scoffed at Chapek's thoughts.

This kind of [-]-year-old boy, before he was released, he would definitely go out, but now, he really has no manpower available, so he can only make do with it, but Chapek's ability, to be honest, is the ability that Eisner has seen for so many years. The most "regular" ones, who were his former subordinates, DreamWorks founder Katzenberg, Stan Kinsey who established the Disney animation special effects department, CCA agent company founder Ovitz, etc., which one? It's not a big man who resounds in Hollywood, and his ability is much stronger than that of Chapek. Of course, most of these people were driven away by him.

If the next head of Disney can be appointed, Eisner will definitely not leave the position to Chapek, someone who is ambitious, or someone with a domineering personality. Taking over the head of Disney will actually not be a big deal. The problem is, as long as he can control the situation and keep Disney from declining, some flaws are nothing at all, but if someone with insufficient ability is in charge of a giant company, it will be a disaster at all. An unqualified helmsman can even Capsize a boat!
