Vol 5 Chapter 1010: envy

Burbank, Los Angeles, West Coast of the United States.

In Jessica Dunn's mind, that same irritable boss, the current helm of Disney who had to leave after more than half a year, Michael Eisner, was in the same mood as Dunn.

He also wanted to pick up a gun and throw Robert Iger away.

After Iger returned from Manhattan, who had not succeeded or failed, things still did not follow the direction Eisner hoped.

Although Iger's trip apparently failed to complete the tasks assigned by the board of directors, it also posed a huge threat to the company-even those on the board knew the importance of Pixar to Disney.

Vividly speaking, to Disney, Pixar is a wife who is sure to give birth to many good offspring. Having Pixar can guarantee the smooth continuation of Disney's incense.

In contrast, Marvel is like an object that can be repossessed to become a concubine. It can be, but it is not indispensable.

And the things that Cummins of NEXTDOOR claimed are indeed tangible. As far as the current situation is concerned, if they also express interest in Pixar, then Disney may not really be able to compete.

But in this matter, there must be no such thing as "not necessarily". Disney must ensure that it can acquire Pixar smoothly.

If it is not, then, with one going up, and Mr. Feng's planning, Disney may really have a big problem.

In terms of production of animated feature films, it may fall from its current leading position to third place-behind Pixar and DreamWorks.

The operation of the park may also usher in a strong competitor-they have deduced, based on Feng Yiping’s financial resources, ability, and influence, if it is based on well-known cartoon characters and scenes in Pixar movies, plus Disney’s The demonstration of a good teacher, what they call Pixar Paradise, is not without the possibility of success.

And ABC, which has spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources on the acquisition and gradually straightened out, may face strong competition from Feng Yiping’s Netflix and YouTube.

If that day comes, the record that Disney has kept, the only one among the eight major Hollywood studios that has not been acquired, will probably be broken.

Therefore, after Iger can be said to be defeated, Eisner not only failed to realize his wish, and took the opportunity to receive the relevant acquisition business into his own hands. Instead, Iger received further authorization and support from the board of directors.

The board respected Iger’s opinions and unanimously understood Iger’s concerns, so they gave Iger the right to self-determination and let him decide whether to abandon the acquisition of Marvel, in order to ensure that when Disney acquired Pixar, Feng Yiping and NEXTDOOR Will not interfere.

In other words, the board of directors can be said to have determined that Iger is the successor of Disney at the helm.

Why did things develop like this? That's because everyone blamed Eisner for the affair with Pixar.

This made Eisner, a person who was so powerful that he didn't bother to explain, also felt very aggrieved. Which decision I made was not considered from the perspective of the company?

Isn’t my value always to ensure that everything we do is ethical, meaningful, and creative with high quality?

Isn’t it a normal situation to have disputes and disharmony with partners? Why should I put all the responsibility on me?

But what makes Eisner even more angry is that in his words and deeds after Iger returned, he can already be sure that Iger has actually made up his mind and will give up buying Marvel.

And the guys on the board obviously agree.

This group of visionless and misbehaving guys!

If you have been so scared for so many years, how can there be Disney's glory today?

Yes, Eisner is sure that NEXTDOOR is frightening Iger, so that they can acquire Marvel smoothly.

Although the possibilities they described, under the auspices of Feng Yiping, are likely to become facts, for some reasons that Eisner is still unclear about, they obviously won't do that.

Although he didn't have much contact with Feng Yiping, Eisner knew him quite well. If he really wanted to acquire Pixar, he would do it right away. There would be so much nonsense.

If he really intends to acquire Pixar, no matter how difficult and pressure he is, he will definitely insist on a two-pronged approach, acquiring Marvel and Pixar at the same time.

In exchange for his smooth acquisition of Marvel by giving up the acquisition of Pixar, he must not be able to do such a thing.

Eisner could understand that Feng Yiping looks very easy-going and harmless to humans and animals, but in essence he is a very strong, stubborn, or somewhat paranoid person. The strategy he has set will not accept others. Questioned.

Without such qualities, he would not achieve the success he is today.

It’s ridiculous that Iger and the short-sighted guys on the board can’t see this at all. Although, yes, Feng Yiping might also buy and operate Pixar as Cummins said. Disney faces huge risks.

But as the helm of a behemoth like Disney, if you don't have the courage to take risks, what do you expect him to accomplish?

A sharp contrast is that Feng Yiping should have predicted all the reactions from Disney, so he would let Cummins say those words.

Aiger and Feng Yiping compared each other, and immediately decided.

Eisner really regretted it at this time. He regretted that he had never put the matter of cultivating a successor on his agenda before. Looking at it now, this is obviously a failure.

If he could treat this matter correctly in the early years and raise it to a strategic level, he believed that he would not face the current predicament.

Once, Eisner seriously considered the question of successor.

That was 11 years ago in 1994. That year, Eisner, who had been in charge of Disney for ten years, fell seriously ill and was once in a dangerous situation of life and death.

In that year, Everbright had surgery four times.

In that situation, he made arrangements for the successor issue for the first and last time.

The way he arranged it was quite lofty. He used the Qing emperor's method to seal the heir's name in an envelope and declared that the envelope could only be opened if the operation was unsuccessful.

He finally survived the crisis in 1994, so no one knows who his successor in his "will" is.

Perhaps it was also because of this experience that made him object to mentioning his successor ever since.

The rising sun shone into the office, shining on him.

Although the office is warm enough, it still makes Eisner feel a little lazy. Seeing the constant flow of people in and out of Aiger’s office, Eisner who feels lazy, and Eisner who feels very disappointed, suddenly There is no interest in work.

This late boss pressed a switch to hide himself behind the sunshade, squinting his eyes halfway, bathing in the warm sun like an ordinary old man who has passed his sixtieth year.

At this time, he was very envious of Feng Yiping.

He knows that the biggest difference between himself and Feng Yiping is that Feng Yiping is in charge. He founded and belongs to him. From any point of view, he has the most voice and decision-making power.

And although I have achieved remarkable results in Disney’s more than two decades, in the final analysis, he is still just a worker. Even if he is an emperor, he is only a worker emperor. When shareholders are happy, they will support themselves and shareholders are not happy. , When you don't support yourself, you can only leave sadly.

If my life can come back again, I will definitely choose to be an entrepreneur instead of a professional manager.

Eisner also admired Feng Yiping's good vision-he didn't believe in luck.

The reason why the shareholders were not happy and did not support themselves, Eisner admitted that he did not do well.

After entering the 1990s, Hollywood films, as a representative of American globalization, have entered an era of global release, global realization, and higher and higher benefits, but large-scale production has also become a notable feature.

That is to say, the production and distribution costs of movies are getting higher and higher, so high that if a single film fails, the company will face the risk of closing.

Although I have repeatedly avoided such a situation, but helplessly, such a thing still happened. I once boasted in Haikou, the performance of "Pearl Harbor" will definitely be more amazing than "Titanic", and the final box office revenue was in a mess.

In the expansion of Disneyland, I also made a fatal mistake. Disneyland Paris, because it did not fully consider European consumption habits and concepts, has led to huge losses for that park.

Like Feng Yiping, he did not realize the importance of the Internet to the media industry...

If they can do this, huh, they will force themselves to retire early? I am afraid that I will use cash and stocks to save myself to work for a few more years.

Feng Yiping did all these things he could not do.

I really envy that young man!

…………

Street food stalls in Myeongdong, Seoul.

Feng Yiping knew from the laughter and noise from the surroundings that everyone was clearly getting better.

Of course, Owen and his people are exceptions, they are still untouched at the moment.

Feng Yiping now feels that because the alcohol that Koreans drink in Korean dramas is also called shochu, so he takes it for granted that the shochu they drink is the same as the shochu we are talking about, so he thinks that they drink a lot of alcohol for men, women and children. , It is ridiculously naive.

The so-called so-called shochu in South Korea, but they are all around 20 degrees, but the degree is about the same as our rice wine, and it is not on the top, which means that he can not get used to the taste, otherwise, he can easily drink it. Bottle to go (generally 360ml).

But as a girl, Jun Ji-hyun's way of drinking a glass of wine is too bold. Is this trying to get himself drunk, or is he trying to get me drunk? Or want to make both people drunk?

He couldn't help but persuade Quan Ji-hyun, "Hey, even if you can drink, you have to relax."

"Don't worry, I won't go crazy when I get drunk like in the movie," Jun Jixian drank another glass of soju.

"Am I so safe in your mind?" Feng Yiping whispered.

"What?" Quan Zhixian asked at the same time that he understood what Feng Yiping was talking about, and couldn't help but smile, "Why would you have such thoughts? So you would care about these?"

"Of course, beautiful women face to face, no man can care about this,"

Feng Yiping is also a man~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Even if he has no ideas, he simply enjoys the charm of a strange city with a beautiful woman, but he also cares about his own charm in the eyes of a beautiful woman.

"You, of course, cannot be called safe, but you see, you have your assistant, and I have my assistant," she pointed to the other four food stalls that surrounded their food stall. "They all followed. Is it safe?"

"Do you think, hum, if I do something, my assistant will stop it, or your assistant will stop it?" Feng Yiping tried to make his expression look evil.

Mainly, this time, this place, this situation and situation, it really matches some small ambiguous words.

In other words, in some time periods, especially men, it is difficult to restrain some of their instinctive emotions.

But the professional actor sitting opposite is the best of the professional actors. How can he be frightened by Feng Yiping's exaggerated performance? She blinked and raised her glass, "You can try,"

"How about you try?"
