Chapter 402 1 plan

After entering the 1990s, the Walt Disney Group has reached the most prosperous stage since its establishment. The animated film has launched The Lion King, which has never been surpassed until now. The newly established Hollywood record company only relies on Ryan Jenkins alone. , swept the major album sales charts, and got a big cake from the record market. Even the most disadvantaged live-action movies have launched big-selling films such as Home Alone and Jumanji.

Together with the traditional amusement park and other subsidiaries, the foundation for subsequent development was laid.

In 1995, Michael Eisner, the helm of the company, spent $19 billion to complete the acquisition of TV stations with an incomparably strong strategy, making Walt Disney a super-large company that can stand side by side with Times Walt and Viacom. media group.

This acquisition not only temporarily pushed Michael Eisner's personal reputation to the top, but also further diluted the shares in the hands of the Disney family through stock exchange mergers and acquisitions, additional stock issuance, and financing from Wall Street, thereby increasing his own control over the group.

However, his popularity at the peak was not long before it fell to a trough. An animation studio called Pixar released its first computer-animated feature film Toy Story two weeks after its listing. The transformation of the white swan.

A large amount of revenue flowed into the pockets of Pixar, the producer, and Paramount, the publisher. Michael Eisner, who didn't care about the termination of his partnership with Pixar, became a big laughing stock in Hollywood.

Then, because of the bad reactions brought about by the acquisition, the asset reorganization and debt crisis of the TV station became a big problem for Disney, and they also encountered a series of problems in the film.

Since Jumanji, live-action movies have never seen big-selling works, and even traditional animated movies have been suppressed.

Especially last year. Mulan was completely defeated by A Bug's Life, and Pixar Studios has shaken Disney's animation supremacy.

There appear to be serious problems within the sprawling empire.

But Michael Eisner's ability to develop Disney from a multi-billion-dollar company into a multi-billion-dollar empire in his own right is unquestionable.

After a series of integrations, Disney's development has been on the right track this year, especially the financial support from Wall Street, which has made Michael Eisner stable in his position. Consolidate the position of the three major TV networks.

This allows Michael Eisner to divert some of his energies from his busy internal affairs to deal with the man who had relegated him.

The man who made him ridiculed by the whole of Hollywood.

The white battery car drove past the green golf course. Michael Eisner was the first to jump out of the car and instructed the caddie behind him. The nearby staff left the rest area with great tacit understanding. .

He sat leisurely under the sun umbrella, drinking afternoon tea unhurriedly, as if waiting for someone.

After about ten minutes, another white battery car stopped in front, and the driver jumped off.

Hello, Michael. He sat directly opposite Michael Eisner.

Anthony. Long time no see. It is said that you have collected a lot of useful things? Michael Eisner poured him a cup of black tea.

I didn't expect you to come in person. The other party was a little surprised, Just get in touch on the phone.

The phone isn't safe, is it. Michael Eisner looked at him. The middle-aged man suddenly laughed, It's true.

Our opponent is not an ordinary person. Eisner tapped the table lightly, as if to remind the other party and himself. He is far from being as simple as he appears. He has no less secret means and secrets than anyone else. He has invested in a security company. Having so many professional bodyguards is not just to ensure personal safety, right?

You're right. The man named Anthony took out a file bag, handed it over, and after Michael Eisner opened it, he said, My paparazzi have followed him for two years, but haven't collected anything. It's too useful, he places great importance on the health of himself and the people around him, and those bodyguards have received targeted professional training.

He waited for the other party to browse the document before continuing, We have bought a few bodyguards, but we can't get any valid information, unless we can buy that guy named George and the personal bodyguards he is in charge of.

However, I also got some useful information. Scott Swift should control several trust funds through some means. Ryan Jenkins' actual wealth is far more than his apparent wealth.

Most people on Wall Street know what you said. Michael Eisner was somewhat dissatisfied.

Don't worry, Michael. Anthony laughed. His private life is far from being as clean as it seems. I'm sure his relationship with Natalie Portman and Charlize Theron is definitely not easy.

Even if he associates with these two people at the same time, it doesn't matter much. Hollywood's big man, who has few women, even if it is exposed, it will at most be a loss of reputation.

And Nicole Kidman, she spent the night at Jenkins Manor several times. From the day she was born, the gossip spread to all mankind, Is it normal for a woman to come to Hollywood and not have a boyfriend? Although she is very close with Jodie Foster and a few best friends, which has led to the media hype that she is very likely to be gay, I am more suspicious that she has a secret relationship with Ryan Jenkins.

You mean...

That's right. Anthony's face was full of excitement, which was enough news to shock the world. Although there is no evidence, if we stab him out, it will definitely bring him a lot of trouble.

If this is true... Michael Eisner tapped the table slowly, his eyes full of calculations, This is exactly what we can use.

The names of Natalie Portman and Nicole Kidman flashed across his mind instantly. These are people who have been in contact with Ryan Jenkins for more than ten years. Wouldn't it be interesting if they had the opposite purpose?

Of all the properties of Ryan Jenkins, the second largest shareholder seems to be Nicole Kidman, right?

This is really interesting thing.

The strongest castles tend to disintegrate from the inside, and it makes sense.

Michael Eisner remained silent. He needed a little time to straighten out his thoughts. For a tough decision maker like him, as long as he made up his mind, he would push forward firmly.

Anthony on the opposite side also remained silent. Although he was not a big man, he knew a truth and must not talk nonsense.

Anthony, keep this matter down for the time being, don't make any noise, I need to detonate it at the right time. After a long time, Michael Eisner spoke slowly, Also, keep people staring at him.

No problem. Anthony stood up. Goodbye, Michael.

If Nicole Kidman really turns against Ryan Jenkins, there will inevitably be a conflict of interest between them. The seemingly solid alliance of interests of the other side will naturally cease to exist, as well as Pie Kingsley and Scot. T Swift, although he has an excellent relationship, Michael Eisner believes that in the face of sufficiently tempting interests, they will also make wise choices.

Just like Disney's minority shareholders who sold their shares to some obscure foundation for a small profit.

As for those film companies in Hollywood, presumably they prefer to squeeze a down-and-out film genius, right?

Michael Eisner beckoned to the distance, and after his assistant brought his mobile phone and left quickly, he dialed Roy Disney.

Michael, how come you have time to call me? The voice on the phone was not polite at all.

Roy, I hope to get your support on a project. He quickly stated his purpose.

Support? The other party's voice contained a faint sarcasm.

Michael Eisner showed a rare patience, I'm going to start a new acquisition project, a project to re-emerge the Disney animation division.

He knows how to impress the representatives of the Disney family in the company, and he knows the huge common interests so that the entire Disney can accompany him on the same path.

Sure enough, the other party hurriedly asked, What project? Nowadays, the decline of hand-painted animation has become an irreversible trend...

He stopped, as if to understand something.

Pixar, our next target is Pixar Studios! Michael Eisner said slowly but firmly. Think about the benefits to Disney if we successfully acquired Pixar.

I need to remind you that Ryan Jenkins and Nicole Kidman have absolute control over Pixar. Despite what the other said, Michael Eisner could clearly feel his heartbeat. The market and other people buy all the shares, and they can only be a minority shareholder.”

Roy, I already have a rough plan. I will convene the board of directors in the near future. I need your full support and confidentiality!

In fact, Michael Eisner knew that there was a connection between Roy Disney and Ryan Jenkins, and he wanted Disney to restart the cooperation with each other, but what would he do if Disney and his own vital interests were involved Such a choice can be imagined without guessing.

Of course, both he and Roy Disney understand that it takes time and opportunity to swallow a fast-growing animation upstart like Pixar Studios.

He will create opportunities, and he can afford the time.

In addition, he wants to wait a bit before the official board meeting, after all, the more successful Pixar is, the easier it is to push his plan.

Michael Eisner has never been so hopeful that Pixar's upcoming Toy Story 2 will be a hit. (To be continued..)
