Roy Disney didn't take it seriously, and sneered: "Mr. Xu, this kind of talk is just used to coax those politicians, and it makes no sense to talk to me." ”

"Okay, in that case, I'll be blunt. Xu Zhi nodded and said: "The purpose of my acquisition of Disney is to value the huge potential of this company, and this point, Ron Miller does not have the ability to explore the potential of the company for me, otherwise, Disney will not be able to acquire it for me, so I hope you can help me." ”

Roy Disney smiled and said, "Why should I help you?"

"Because this is the Disney Company, the glory of your Disney family. Xu Zhi said with a smile: "I bought Disney because of the huge economic value of its existence, which requires a huge cultural operation to achieve, and you, like Mr. Walt Disney, have such a talent."

Although the company is mine, the glory is Disney's, isn't it?"

Disney family, people are not luxuriant, but the genes of the whole family, for animation has a very high talent, in the original history, when Ron Miller was in power, Roy Disney has kept a low profile, until Mike Eisner came to power, Roy immediately exerted his residual heat, for Disney Company planning "The Little Mermaid", "Beauty and the Beast", "Aladdin", "The Lion King" and many other classic business cards.

The rise of Disney in later generations was due to the contribution of Roy Disney.

Roy Disney shook his head and said, "You logic is a bastard!"

"Not necessarily. Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Roy, even if I don't buy Disney, how much does the current Disney have to do with your family?"

Your uncle, Walt Disney, dreamed of building Disneyland all over the world, so that everyone in the world could see Disney's animation and let everyone know about Disney's brand.

But can you do it? And even if you can in the future, how many years will it take? And now I'm willing to provide the funds to realize Mr. Walt Disney's dream as soon as possible, isn't this kind of cooperation a win-win for both parties?"

After listening to this, Roy looked at Xu Zhi and asked, "So, aren't you going to buy the shares held by our Disney family?"

Xu Zhi smiled: "No, I still want to buy, because I will inject a large amount of capital into Disney in the future, and there will be a bunch of disputes if there are other shareholders."

But you can rest assured that according to my agreement with CFIUS, Disney will inevitably re-list within five years, and at that time, anyone in your Disney family will be able to get the right of first refusal at an absolutely low price, and you will be able to be included in the new board of directors in the future. ”

"This ......" Roy Disney couldn't help but ponder after listening to it. After a moment, he asked, "Listening to your previous tone, Ron Miller has to leave the Disney Company?"

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "Not bad." ”

Ron Miller was once one of Disney's finest talents, then fell in love with Walt Disney's daughter, entered the top echelons of Disney, and is now the CEO of Disney as a whole.

But it has proven that Ron Miller is not fit to manage the entire Disney company.

And the reason why Xu Zhi personally wooed Roy Disney is not only because Roy is an excellent animator, but also because his surname is Disney.

A company, in the event of a merger, the most worrying thing is that internal rumors are flying all over the sky, Walt Disney has only been dead for more than ten years, at this moment, there are still a large number of people within Disney who belong to the heroes of the Walt era, if they abolish all the members of the entire Disney family as soon as they come up, then they are guaranteed to follow and leave.

The Disney company is already in trouble, Xu Zhi certainly doesn't want to have nothing to do, for now, maintaining Disney's stability is the top priority, not to mention, Roy Disney itself is a powerful character.

Roy Disney asked, "Then I wonder who will be the CEO after Ron?"

Xu Zhi smiled with a retreat: "It's better for you to do this position, how about it?"

Roy Disney shook his head and said, "I am not suitable for this position, I don't have this ability." I can recommend one though. ”

"Who?" asked Xu Zhi.

"Mike Eisner. "He's the vice president of Paramount Films, he's a close friend of mine, he's very capable, and if Mr. Xu believes me, he can meet him and know if what I'm saying is true or not," Roy said. ”

"Okay, then when we go to Disney headquarters together, you can make an appointment and arrange an interview. Xu Zhi was very satisfied with Roy's sincerity.

After the death of Walt Disney, Ron Miller was able to become the CEO of Disney, and a large reason was that Roy thought he was more suitable for creating animation than being CEO.

Later, in 1984, the entire Disney company suffered serious losses under the leadership of Ron Miller, and Roy Disney united with some forces to successfully force the board of directors to agree to re-elect the management team, but he did not take the opportunity himself, but invited Mike Eisner to come as CEO, and he himself was still the head of the animation department.

"I'm going to the company's headquarters with you?" Roy Disney wasn't stupid, he understood what the other party meant.

"Yes, is there any problem?" Xu Zhi asked with a smile

Roy Disney shook his head and said, "No problem." ”

"Okay, let's go. Xu Zhi stood up and said with a smile.

……

Headquartered in Burbank, California, Disney is a 30-story office building with an aging exterior that has been in use for more than 40 years, dating back to World War II.

Knowing that Xu Zhi and his entourage were coming, Disney Company had already made preparations, and the first to greet them were the vice president Alan Walker and Peter Peterson, who had met Xu Zhi in New York last time.

Peter's team has officially moved into Disney, but will not be involved in future management, but will work with a New York City accounting firm to conduct a top-to-bottom review of the company's finances, so that the new finance team can smoothly sort out all the problems when they take over in the future.

As for this Alan Walker, Xu Zhi also understands his thoughts, but unfortunately, the position of president of Disney will not be handed over to him, and the best candidate is Mike Eisner, after all, later generations have proved this, and without a prophet, Disney is still the world's No. 1 entertainment giant.

However, there are also disadvantages to using Mike Eisner, in the original history, this man was too strong and used the whole of Disney as his own backyard.

In this life, Xu Zhi has already controlled Disney, although this kind of thing will not happen, but Eisner's character determines that he will inevitably pursue the pace of "freedom", in order to prevent this, within Disney, there must be someone who can balance him.

As for the current CEO of Disney, Mr. Ron Miller, the son-in-law of Walt Disney, has long negotiated with Peter, knowing that he cannot continue to manage Disney, he reached an agreement with Peter to withdraw from the management of Disney, and at the same time sold his Disney shares to the Blackstone Fund at a high price.

Although he has not left Disney immediately, it is obvious that he will not come down to greet Xu Zhi's group.

"Hello, Mr. Walker. Xu Zhi said politely.

"Sir, you're my boss now, just call me Allen. Alan Walker said with a smile, but suddenly saw Roy Disney next to Xu Zhi and suddenly stopped smiling.

"Boss, let me introduce you. Peter stepped forward, took Xu Zhi, and introduced the crowd that came to greet him, almost all the vice presidents of Disney's business came here, and even some of them were also affiliated with Ron Miller's cronies.

Xu Zhi met with everyone and got acquainted with it. Alan Walker smiled and said, "Boss, please go inside." ”
