Chapter 926: An Unexpected Invitation

"Indeed, taking control of a company for a long time can easily be disruptive." Robert Iger understood that Qiao Feng was right, so he nodded in agreement.

"Do you really agree with me?" Qiao Feng was a little surprised.

"Yes." Egger laughed, "I have to admit that Mr. Joe is right, and from what I know about Mr. Eisner, he is, but that's normal.

"I thought Egger was going to fight for Eisner." Egger's words made Qiao Feng feel that he had met a confidant.

"Haha. I just think Mr. Joe's opinion is very newsworthy." Iger laughed: "In 1984, Disney, a company that had been in a slump for many years, was in a state of chaos without a leader, the theme park was gradually losing its life, and Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck were almost a long time ago.

Through a series of drastic reforms, including a frenzied development of brand-driven product sales, upgrading Disneyland, and opening a film and television department that produces non-G-rated films, Mr. Eisner made Disney the industry leader in a few years, the best performing company among the Big Seven.

Everyone regards Mr. Eisner as a hero, and Disney sees him as a savior and a beacon forever.

At such a time, Mr. Joe throws out the argument that Disney will become and Eisner will lose Eisner, which will definitely cause a sensation.

As the head of ABC's entertainment department, I was intrigued by Mr. Joe's arguments and wanted to know why Mr. Joe came to such a conclusion.

After listening to Egger's explanation, Qiao Feng understood why Egger stopped him.

On the one hand, I am curious, and on the other hand, I am afraid that I want to know if my argument is convincing enough.

If it's just a big talk, then it goes without saying, just release the talk show when the time comes.

If it is justified, even if it is far-fetched, I'm afraid that Iger will have his subordinates produce one or even several episodes about Eisner's future prospects at Disney.

This is really going to seize the opportunity, looking at Egg, who was smiling and looking harmless to humans and animals, Qiao Feng thought.

"What would you do if, Iger, I mean, if you were in Eisner's current position?"

Qiao Feng somewhat admired Robert Iger, a man who smiled like Mickey Mouse, so he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"If it were me, I would have chosen to leave after discovering that my presence had become an obstacle to the company's growth." Iger said without thinking.

"Really?" Qiao Feng asked with some suspicion.

"Of course." Iger nodded solemnly: "As I just said, controlling a company for a long time can be destructive.It's not something I want to see.I don't want the company I'm working hard for to decline because of my own reasons.I just want it to get better and better.So, if it were me, I would choose to leave when I find myself in poor shape and become an obstacle to the company."

Regarding Egger's answer, Qiao Feng did not nod or shake his head this time, but asked another question noncommittally: "Egg, as the head of ABC's entertainment department, what do you think is the most important thing for your department?"

"All media and entertainment industries are basically driven by creativity.—creative ideas, and creative execution.Sitting in my position, the first thing you need to understand is the importance of creativity, you have to appreciate and respect the creative process and the creators themselves, so that creative people can generate creative ideas. Also, creativity is not a science, it's an art. It's not just about research and learning, it's about passion, insight, and of course, patience, and you have to understand that when you're managing ideas." Iger thought for a moment and said.

His thinking was very clear, and Qiao Feng could see that this was not the answer that Zero Shi thought of, but that Egger usually treats his work like this, and this is how he manages his own department.

After Robert Egger finished speaking, Qiao Feng suddenly spoke: "Egger, you come to MGM."

"What?" Robert Iger asked after a pause, wondering if he was having auditory hallucinations.

Then, he heard Qiao Feng's very solemn voice appear in his ears again: "You come to MGM to be the CEO, I believe you will bring MGM back to the peak of glory that it once was."

"......No? It's so sudden......" The smile on Robert Egger's face was gone, and only a look of astonishment and disbelief remained.

It's too sudden.

I originally came to talk to Qiao Feng to see if I could dig out more news about Qiao Feng and Disney and Eisner.

How to talk about yourself and get poached.

It's the first time we've met, it's just a few words when we meet, and you're going to let me go from a department head to the CEO and helmsman of MGM, one of the seven biggest Hollywood companies, that's too casual, right?

"No, I've been trying to find a new, really capable person at the helm of MGM lately.After just talking, I found that your philosophy is very much in line with my requirements.So, Egger, I sincerely invite you to join MGM." Qiao Feng looked like I had thought about it very clearly, and the smile on his face really made Egger feel sincere.

It's just that the time for this sincerity to take shape is too short, Iger smiled bitterly in his heart, and it was only more than ten minutes since they met.

Egg felt that Qiao Feng's understanding of him was too little, too short, but he didn't know that Qiao Feng had crossed over.

He didn't know that Qiao Feng didn't know a lot about him, another person at the helm of Disney after Michael Eisner, but he also knew a lot.

After talking, Qiao Feng has already matched him with the helmsman of Disney in his memory.

At that time, because Disneyland was going to be established in China, the newspaper media did not report much on Iger, the boss of Disney.

In the report, Robert Iger, who looks gentle and elegant, and smiles as if he has a cute smile like Mickey Mouse, is a person with very high emotional intelligence.

Unlike his predecessor, Eisner, who was tough and assertive, Iger was humble and friendly, never overpowered, and a good listener who was good at working with people.

He has the ability to mediate disputes, and he is calm and has a sophisticated way of dealing with things, and he is able to accept everything without showing obvious likes and dislikes.

Therefore, after becoming the helm of Disney, Iger quickly solved a series of problems such as brain drain, corporate culture and bloated system, and then began a large-scale external expansion, successively acquiring Pixar Animation Studios, Marvel, Lucasfilm and Twentieth Century Fox.

A series of external expansions have made Disney a super media group that surpasses several other major media groups.

Such an incredibly successful professional manager is exactly the helmsman that MGM needs most.

This is a pearl with great ability but has not been reused enough, since it has appeared in front of him, Qiao Feng has to catch it.

"Mr. Joe, I need to think about it." Egger was moved, but the opportunity came too suddenly, suddenly a little unreal, he is a calm person, so he has to wait for himself to calm down before making a decision.

"Alright, Egger, think about it, I want you to give me an answer as soon as possible."
