Back to 1995

For so many years, Eisner can be said to be all kinds of bad, but his vision is by no means in vain, and his eyes are quite vicious.

Inside the entire Disney, there is already an undercurrent. The board of directors is in full swing, not to mention the management and ordinary employees. During this time, the Disney board of directors will always appear inexplicable and contradictory orders. In fact, the two parties are fighting. .

After Eisner and Chapek returned to Disney, they immediately started to act. Since they were ready to do something, it was natural to act first!
Chapek was responsible for contacting a group of Eisner's cronies, as well as Disney executives, to let them know of Eisner's desperate decision.

On the other hand, Eisner found several members of the Disney board of directors who supported him, and planned to completely turn against Roy, Gold, and Jobs and drive them all out of Disney.

When Roy and Gold came to Jobs' residence, Jobs was meditating in a special room. They were not surprised by Jobs' habit. It is quite normal to like a serious hobby like meditation.

Although they don't know what kind of spiritual healing meditation can bring, but Leader Qiao firmly believes in it. In addition to meditation, Roy and the others also heard that Leader Joe is unwilling to undergo modern medical surgery to eliminate pancreatic islet cell cancer. , Instead, he uses carrots to become vegetarian, as well as acupuncture, herbal medicine, hydrotherapy and other methods of treatment. As for the effect, only he himself knows.

As the only remaining Disney member of the Disney family, Roy represents the last face of the Disney family. He is already in his 70s, and he will soon need to retire from the Disney Group as he is far away from the retirement rules set by the Disney Group.

But whether this kind of rule is actually enforced or not depends entirely on the person at the helm of Disney, what is the idea, as the representative of the Disney family, the nephew of the founder of Disney, as long as Roy himself does not want to retire, logically speaking, he will not Someone stuck with that rule and directly forced Roy to retire. That was a bit too domineering, and I really didn't think of the Disney family as human beings.

However, Eisner doesn't do personnel affairs. He wants to use that rule to drive Roy out of Disney, so that no one can pick on him. This makes Roy's teeth itch and screams repeatedly. To lead the wolf into the house, let Eisner join Disney when it shouldn't have reorganized the Disney board of directors, but at this time, it's too late to say anything.

Now Roy only wants to do one thing, let the Disney family stay in the Disney Group, drive Eisner, a dove who occupies the magpie's nest, out of Disney, and then choose a new president, reorganize the board of directors People from the Disney family entered the board of directors.

Time is Roy's greatest enemy. He knows that Eisner is definitely not someone who just sits and dies. He must drive Eisner away quickly, and the fastest way to get rid of Eisner is to get Pixar out of Disney. , and let Eisner take the blame.

Of course, this is not to really drive Pixar away, but to unite with Jobs, who is also dissatisfied with Eisner, to play a double act and drive Eisner away.

As for when Eisner is driven away and Roy and the others introduce a new leader, they can also cooperate with Pixar again, and even... let Disney buy Pixar at a high price. Anyway, everything can be negotiated. Roy really endured No more Eisner guy.

Jobs walked out of the meditation room. I don’t know if he ate too many carrots recently. His skin is a little orange. Mr. Joe is notoriously picky eater, but there are also many unexpected behaviors, such as weeks or even months. , they all only eat the same kind of food, anyway, most people can't figure out what Qiao Gangzhu is thinking.

"Roy, Gold," Jobs came out, holding a document just sent by his assistant in his hand, "I have something to deal with now!"

Roy and Gold didn't find anything strange about Joe's behavior. After so many years of contact, they already knew that the person in front of them was different from ordinary people, and it was not surprising to do anything, let alone this time. Still have something to ask for.

"Motorola rejected Apple's proposal?!"

Looking at the documents in his hand, Chief Qiao's face showed no joy, anger, sorrow or joy, but the assistant knew that Chief Qiao might be very unhappy about this.

Now Apple is working with Motorola to develop a new generation of mobile phones. The cooperation between the two parties is not to say sincere cooperation, but it can also be called a chicken feather. The mobile phone that claims to have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in research and development is actually fighting on its own.

Motorola is responsible for the development of hardware functions, and Apple is responsible for the development of mobile phone operating systems and software. However, Motorola has no willingness to accept Apple's proposal for a new phone. According to Motorola engineers, Motorola has been playing with mobile phones for almost half a century. Need Apple, a raw melon egg, to point fingers, it thinks it is an Alcatel mobile phone? !

"I see, just follow what Motorola said!"

After Gangzhu Qiao closed the file, he dumped the file to his assistant with a blank expression. He had no hope of cooperating with Motorola on the mobile phone project, so naturally he was not angry.

Jobs never bet on others, and the same is true for cooperation with Motorola. Now Apple is just crossing the river by touching Motorola, learning the design and technology of mobile phone hardware development, and after a while, the new machine will go on sale, with the system developed by Apple. Test the waters.

And now within Apple, Qiao Gang is also preparing to develop a new mobile phone. Of course, we have to wait two months after the release of the Alcatel P6 to see who will dominate the mobile phone world this year.

After the release of the P5 last year, the outside world clamored for the fall of Alcatel mobile phones. Many mobile phone manufacturers have launched new phones, ready to show off. Joe also wants to see what the standard of the phone jointly developed by Apple and Motorola is. It's really hip-pull, then Qiao Gangzhu can also make up his mind to stud Apple's own mobile phone brand.

"Roy, I also know the purpose of your coming. Of course I am willing to stand with you and drive away that Disney tyrant!"

After handling the mobile phone business, Jobs came to Roy and Gold and directly expressed his attitude.

Roy and Roy both showed joy on their faces when they heard the words of Gang Leader Joe. They felt that this trip seemed to be a little easier than they expected, and they got what they wanted without much effort.

"Steve, we need your support as Gold and I prepare to initiate a new Disney board meeting.

As long as Pixar temporarily announces that it will terminate its cooperation with Disney, we are sure that Eisner will leave Disney! "

Roy said to Jobs, "Of course, as long as Eisner leaves, Disney will sign a new agreement with Pixar, whether it's copyright, box office share, or Steve's most wanted brand, you can also appear in the film with Disney. superior.

These can all be negotiated, Disney and Pixar can have more cooperation! "

After saying this, Roy felt that this matter was very secure. After all, what he proposed was what Jobs wanted most since ten years ago. For this reason, he had turned against Disney several times, but Eisner gave them all. Press down strongly.

But Jobs was silent, and Roy and Gold slowly sank in their hearts. They suddenly thought that Eisner is not a good guy, but Gang Leader Joe is notoriously difficult.

"Steve, what do you want?!" Gold couldn't help but asked Jobs.

After a long time, Jobs, who has become thinner and thinner in recent years, showed his eyes, "If Eisner is kicked out of Disney and the new Disney board of directors is reorganized, I will ask Disney to acquire Pixar Animation!"

"what?!"

When Roy and Gold heard this, they both showed astonishment and inexplicable expressions on their faces, and some wondered if there was something wrong with their ears.

It’s not that Disney didn’t want to acquire Pixar these years. Why is Eisner so domineering towards Pixar? Isn’t it because he wanted to coerce and lure Pixar to win it, but Jobs rejected them all, but he didn’t expect that Jobs would take the initiative to propose it today. come out.

After being stunned, Roy showed joy on his face, "Steve, if you tell the Disney board of directors about this proposal, I think Eisner should have left long ago..."

But Jobs still had a serious face, and then continued to say something that shocked Roy, "Pixar can be sold to Disney, but I ask for 10% of Disney's shares!"

Now Roy couldn't help but raise his voice several times, "10% Disney equity?!

This is impossible, Steve, the Disney family currently holds less than 5% of the shares in Disney Group, you are taking advantage of the fire! "
