Chapter 512
Among the supportive voices, the opposition was so harsh and eye-catching that most people's eyes followed the voice. It was an agent from a Wall Street investor. watermark ad test watermark ad test
Michael Eisner's forehead twitched. What are these vampires going to do? Swallowing Pixar by themselves has increased the value of their equity!
However, he didn't take it too seriously, after all, he could bring benefits to them.
However, the current chairman of Disney would never have imagined that someone would pay several times more than he could bring.
agree!
agree!
The equity backing him was still growing, and the number displayed on the big screen quickly rose to 30%.
I……
Finally, the vote came to Ryan, I disagree.
No one is surprised that the conflicts between Michael Eisner and Ryan have long been no secret.
However, what Ryan said later shocked many people.
Seeing that the opponent's shareholding increased by less than 10%, Ryan suddenly reminded, One more thing, my shareholding is 45%...
That's impossible. The voice came from a Disney board member.
Michael Eisner was quite calm, sitting there quietly, waiting for the next explanation. He knew the person opposite him when he was only ten years old. This... this should not be a joke...
We didn't get any information. Michael Eisner's assistant said tacitly.
Well...on Friday, I talked to News Corp., Viacom, and Wall Street...
After several names of investment institutions, Ryan looked at his watch and said, We will disclose information to the market today, and it is estimated that it has been made public by now.
The venue was silent for a moment. None of the people present were fools and knew that this was in full compliance with the regulations.
The assistant quickly made several calls, and after waiting for a while, he whispered something in Michael Eisner's ear. The calm look on that face gradually crumbled. The two beads of sweat rolling down his forehead were unusually obvious.
Yes,
We put some of our holdings in Disney shares. Transferred to Mr. Jenkins on Friday. Those agents from Wall Street also quickly proved Ryan's statement, The specific transaction agreement will be sent to Disney today.
Some things just need to be done, and it is not beneficial to talk too much.
After relevant verification, the numbers on the big screen were quickly corrected, and Ryan smiled slightly at the people around him. It returned to its previous appearance.
disagree!
disagree……
Everyone at Pixar sitting next to Ryan made their choices one by one.
them? This is?
Until then, Michael Eisner had the consciousness to completely turn a hunter into a prey...
Despite the turmoil in his heart, he is not an ordinary person after all. After taking a deep breath, he tried his best to maintain his composure, except for the dense beads of sweat on his forehead and the slowly falling corners of his mouth. Showed inner shock.
Those who didn't know have figured out something up to now, their blinking eyes turned around, especially the look at Michael Eisner with clear mockery and sympathy.
actually. The following vote was completely meaningless. Ryan's 45% stake voted against it. Unless he had the cheek to hold back, according to the usual practice, Michael Eisner should step down.
As expected, more than 80% of the proxies from Wall Street voted against it, and the number of votes against it has exceeded 60%.
Having lost his last hope—the support of Wall Street, Michael Eisner slowly closed his eyes, as if he couldn't believe that this scene was real.
Just half an hour ago, he thought he was in control of everything in Disney, and now...
traitor! They are all traitors!
Although he was scolding in his heart, he still sat there. He knew very well that since Wall Street chose Ryan, the other party must have paid enough benefits. In front of the benefits, how much affection do those people have?
And News Corporation and Viacom, Summer Redstone and Rupert Murdoch are also bastards who completely betrayed themselves for their own interests.
disagree……
The people who spoke successively were representatives of News Corporation and Viacom, which showed that their shares were negligible.
I have been in charge of Disney for almost two decades and should not be treated like this.
Suddenly, a somewhat old voice interrupted his thoughts. It was Roy Disney, his opponent and collaborator.
disagree!
The other party represented the entire Disney family, and there was only disdain and mockery in their eyes.
When should you make what choice, Roy who has lived for more than seventy years? Disney naturally understands this.
Then, more naysayers emerged.
Until the last one, the woman with long reddish blond hair, Michael Eisner suddenly had a little hope again.
Stepping down is inevitable. If the two really turn against each other, then Ryan Jenkins will have a hard time in his life.
disagree.
Those light blue eyes swept across, and Michael Eisner only felt indifferent, as if he didn't exist at all in her eyes.
Ryan turned his head to look at Nicole, the light blue eyes that greeted him were still as sharp as needles.
The sound of bang was not very loud, but it was very clear in the quiet large conference room. Everyone looked over and saw that the cup on the table in front of Michael Eisner was knocked over for some reason, and the brown liquid that flowed out from From a distance it looked like blood.
Although Michael Eisner's expression was still calm, even a fool would know that this man's heart might really be bleeding.
During the short recess at noon, Ryan specially visited some executives including Roy Disney. Whether it was for his own benefit or for the continuation of the Disney family in this company, the other party quickly reached an agreement with Ryan. agreement.
After the working meal, the meeting opened again, and Michael Eisner was still sitting in his seat.
Although he is destined to lose the position of chairman and director, he has been running Disney for so many years and is one of the major shareholders, so he is naturally unwilling to give up.
In the first announced Michael? Eisner will not continue to serve as chairman and after. Roy Disney asked to speak.
His speech pointed directly at Michael Eisner himself, and counted his three deadly sins in detail in front of all the shareholders!
Inappropriate employment and cronyism. It makes Disney's various supervisory agencies a decoration...
Using money carelessly. Shareholders' money is like pocket money, you can use it however you want...
Illegal use of power. Let the entire Disney management become synonymous with his personal will...
Among them, Roy Disney specifically mentioned the case of hiring and dismissing Michael Ovitz.
Why did Michael so readily reach a huge salary and breach of contract with Ovitz that can be called the number one in the United States? Is it to show off Disney's strength, or just to prove that as the chairman, he is naturally worth more than Ovitz Are they much more, or as the outside world guesses, they were originally friends, so they are suspected of favoritism and fraud?
Michael Eisner is a professional manager introduced to Walt Disney by Roy Disney. Who would have thought that more than ten years later, the servant would become the master, and the Disney family would soon become a completely negligible part of the Disney Group.
Roy Disney must have endured this tone for a long time. Now that he has the opportunity to beat the dog in the water, he will definitely not let it go.
These words. Ryan was originally prepared for himself, but Roy Disney, Walt Disney's nephew, is obviously more suitable than him.
In the short meeting at noon, he expressed his support for Roy Disney to become the chairman and lifetime honorary consultant. And the son of the other party entered the management of Disney to prepare for becoming a director in the future.
Disney will usher in a drastic change, and it is undoubtedly the best way to buffer the representatives of the Disney family. Besides, Disney stipulates that directors who have reached the age of 72 will retire, and Roy Disney is already 71 years old.
The Disney family has long been in decline, and under the triangular check and balance and subsequent strengthened supervision, there will be no waves.
Michael Eisner's complexion finally turned pale, even paler than that of Nicole, who is known for her pale skin. In the past ten years, who would dare to accuse him in person?
Or in this way of condemnation?
He couldn't help but look at the small shareholders and directors who had always supported him. Their eyes were all looking elsewhere, and no one paid him a look from the beginning to the end.
Those people are no fools either, and an era for Walt Disney is over.
Because Michael Eisner was completely rejected, a new chairman and director must be elected.
Ryan stood up without hesitation and didn't speak too long.
I'll just say a few points, the choice is in your hands.
Increase investment in Disney's animation department and re-establish Disney's well-deserved status as an animation giant.
A brand new trilogy suitable for Disney, I guarantee that the North American box office will exceed one billion, and the global box office will exceed two billion. It will also make our amusement park attract the attention of the world again.
Whole-owned mergers and acquisitions of Jenkins Films and Marvel Comics, plus Pixar, we will operate the entire industry chain to operate the films produced by the three subsidiaries.
The children's stories in Ryan's story collection that have not been adapted into movies are fully authorized to be used by Disney's live-action film department.
After Harry Potter is released, authorize Disneyland to add a Harry Potter area.
Whether it's an animated movie or a live-action movie, the whole of Hollywood knows what kind of magical power Ryan is speaking. These shareholders are very clear about what Disney needs.
Especially when they heard about the wholly-owned acquisition of Jenkins Films, the shareholders all laughed. The blockbuster movies, the copyrights of the series of movies, and some movies in production all represent a huge income.
Although mergers and acquisitions will lead to a further increase in the equity in the hands of the other party, they, the minority shareholders, are most concerned about the benefits that the shares in their hands can bring.
And this series of mergers and acquisitions, like the annexation of Pixar, is more in their interests.
Don't mention anything else, let's just say I am grateful for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone which will be released in the Christmas file. Several professional organizations predict that the global box office of this movie is one billion US dollars!
What if this kind of family movie is let Disney operate it? This is the type of film that Disney is best at.
Don't talk about the follow-up peripherals, there can also be a Harry Potter area in the Disney park, think about it, it all represents long-term and stable income. ()
