All-in-one Sign
Chapter 40: Pickers changed hands
"Mr. Eisner, I think you need to see this."
The assistant came hurriedly.
As Michael Eisner, who has been in charge of the Disney Group since 1984, and as an outsider as a professional manager, the Disney family hates and can't help it, Michael Eisner is a legend.
It is under his leadership that the Disney Group can develop from a company worth 2 billion US dollars to a behemoth with a market value of 40 billion, becoming one of the seven major film companies in Hollywood.
As the helm of Disney, Eisner has a lot of things to do every day. In addition to company affairs, he also has to deal with the open guns and dark arrows from the Disney family.
There is no way, who made him too strong, obviously a part-time worker, but he has achieved more power and prestige than the master, so that the master can't do it if he wants to drive him away, can he become a thorn in the eyes of others, a thorn in the flesh?
"Steve sold his shares in Peak Studios to a Chinese man!"
The news of the assistant took Eisner by surprise.
In his impression, although Steve has many shortcomings, this guy has always been confident in himself and will never give up easily.
Unless he is really not optimistic or has a greater temptation.
"According to the information we got, that Chinese named Xu Ang has the copyright of "Toy Story"."
When Eisner heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
It turned out to be the case, which is not surprising.
The gate of life is in someone else's hand, and Steve can't do it if he doesn't give in.
But how could Steve make such a fatal mistake?
Big companies cast wide nets to catch more fish. This is to ensure that their tentacles can reach every corner of the industry. For example, Peak Studios, even though its future was unclear at the beginning of its establishment, Disney still invested money and became one of its shareholders.
Since it is a shareholder, some things cannot be hidden from Disney.
Eisner has long heard of the uncertainty and disapproval of Toy Story within the Peak Studios.
Just imagine, a movie that even the makers are not optimistic about, even if it is full of gimmicks, it is boasted as the first 3D animated movie to go to theaters, and it is said to start a new chapter of animated movies. In the eyes of people like Eisner. It still belongs to the kind of money-losing goods.
"Originally, I thought that Steve, as the founder of the big banana boat, his continuous failure in recent years is just bad luck. If luck comes, he will be able to turn over, and he is a person worthy of investment. But I didn't think he even owned the copyright Big mistakes will happen, and it's a misunderstanding."
Eisner shook his head. He didn't know if he was sorry for Steve or because the Group's shares in Peak's studio were about to become waste.
"Tell me, what else is there? You should be in such a hurry with more news than this."
"According to reliable sources, the Chinese man has a Chinese director and a Chinese actress by his side, and his investment in Peak makes investors extremely unhappy. So..."
"So it's normal for investors to withdraw their capital while the movie can still maintain such a glimmer of expectations and stop losses in time. But..." Eisner glanced at his assistant, "What does this have to do with us? Peak Sri Lanka has technology, it may have an impact on the group in the future, even if it is only one in 10,000, we should hold its shares in order to exercise our rights as shareholders when it may really become a threat."
Old-fashioned but very useful tactics that big companies use against small companies. That is to become a shareholder of a small company. When the small company becomes a threat to itself, it will continuously influence and hinder their decision-making and development from the inside, and then cooperate with external means to nip the threat in the bud.
"There are different opinions on the board."
"The Disney family again?" Eisner frowned and asked his assistant, "What did they do? Walt didn't leave much legacy to them in the group."
The assistant replied: "They persuaded a lot of people, got the support of the board of directors, and clamored for a withdrawal from Peak."
Eisner was expressionless: "Reason."
"The Chinese who joined Peak has publicly stated that he will let his compatriots direct and participate in the new film, but it is ridiculous that when someone asked about the specific situation of the new film, he was evasive, saying that the project would not be approved until the company went public. Also, that Chinese man is only eighteen years old."
Eisner laughed at it: "Naughty young man, what does he think of movies, I don't know what it is."
It's no wonder that investors are not optimistic about Peak's studio. With such an unreliable leader, no one can have confidence in Peak's future.
"Even so, if you want to withdraw your capital, it doesn't mean you can withdraw. Will the Chinese people agree?"
"Yes, the Chinese agreed. He insisted that he was optimistic about the box office of "Toy Story", believing that the film would sell well, which would make the share price of Peak Studios, which went public at the same time, rise to an astonishing level. Investors who transfer shares are always welcome, and they will receive as much as they want.”
Eisner curled his lips in disdain: "The entire Peaks' valuation is only 20 million US dollars. He has already taken the majority, and even if the rest is fully repurchased, it will not cost a few dollars. But yes, China is so backward and poor. For their poor self-esteem, the guys who came out of this place can only save a little face with such a small amount of money."
The assistant asked Eisner, "Do you want to agree to the board's request?"
"You think I'm like Walt's incompetent descendants, with no vision at all?" Eisner stood up, "Let's go, go meet the directors, and then agree to the board after I argue and disagree. Forcibly passed the proposal of the Disney family. UU read www.uukanshu.com"
"what?"
Did the assistant understand?
Eisner didn't look back, but said: "Infighting will drag down the development of a company. If the different voices from within can be resolved, even a loss is acceptable. I am very optimistic about you, so I will keep you by my side. Remember to talk less and do more, watch and study hard."
On the same day, a well-informed person revealed that Eisner had a serious disagreement with the board of directors on the board of directors of the Disney Group. The people of the Disney family used the group founder Walt Disney's few remaining relationships in the group to ask the board of directors. agreed and forced their proposal through Eisner's strong opposition.
As soon as the news came out, people speculated that the Disney family was going to launch a counterattack against Eisner in order to regain the power that belonged to them. The Disney Group is likely to return to the era of the Disney family.
Under the cover of such a big event, the change of ownership of the mere Peaks studio is extremely inconspicuous, and not many people pay attention, not to mention that Steve, a loser who has been regarded by the capital circle as eliminated by the times, has taken the position of a new company. A message from the company president.
Jiang Wen couldn't understand: "Brother, are you so sure that Steve and Disney will come according to your expectations?"
"It's actually very simple. Steve has only the Peak Studios as a bargaining chip. His experience will allow him to control as much of the company's shares as possible, and Disney..." Xu Ang smiled confidently. Compared to clearing internal opposition and turning Disney into its own voice, a small external loss doesn’t need to be considered at all in Eisner’s view.”
"Life is always faced with choices. Since it is a choice, it must make a choice."
"It's human nature to choose the big and the small."
