In the reception room, Michael Eisner looked at Ronan, who was sitting opposite, but didn't know how to speak for a while.

Just one day was enough for him to understand the specific situation.

Michael Eisner has determined that Ronan Anderson represents not only Relativity Entertainment, but also several large Wall Street investment institutions behind it.

Some people make it clear that Ronan Anderson is now the most successful person in Hollywood, and if you invest with success, you are more likely to be profitable.

Michael Eisner has dealt with Wall Street a lot and knows the vampire's face as the best interests come first.

What is the situation with Walt Disney, in fact, he also knows that these investors behind it will have no opinion?

But he was still worried.

"I inquired, and what you said is basically true. Michael Eisner didn't have a good choice: "Ronan, I still mean it yesterday, tell me about your conditions." ”

Ronan said lightly: "Michael, after I went back yesterday, I also thought about it carefully, Relativity Entertainment and Walt Disney have established a close cooperative relationship, which is beneficial to both of us." ”

It's not that Michael Eisner can't see reality, it's just that years of high-mindedness and arbitrariness have made it difficult for him to turn back for a while, and now he has somewhat restrained himself and said: "I agree with your point of view. ”

He knew that the initiative was not in his hands, and there was no convincing rhetoric, so he simply took the initiative to make concessions: "At the shareholders' meeting at the end of the year, you and the alliance you represent fully support me." Disney will help Relativity Entertainment enter the PAA, and all peripheral sales channels will be fully open to Relativity Entertainment's products. ”

Ronan didn't take Michael Eisner's words, but said, "You have to stay in Disney for this to really happen." ”

Michael Eisner is trying to take the initiative: "So, you have to support me. ”

Ronan asked, "Disney's board of directors is still in your hands, right?"

"Of course!" Michael Eisner is confident: "I've been at Disney for more than 20 years, and there may be a few people on the board who will oppose me, but in general, my decisions will be passed by the board." ”

Ronan believes that if Michael Eisner can be eliminated through the Disney board of directors, Roy Disney will not choose the shareholder meeting.

Last year, Roy Disney was even forced out of the Disney board by Michael Eisner.

Ronan continued, "In other words, normal business operations and transactions, you can settle within the scope of Disney's procedures. ”

Michael Eisner didn't quite understand what Ronan meant, thought very cautiously for a while, and finally said, "I won't let events like Michael Owitz happen again." ”

As long as the procedure is correct, there will be no problem in law.

The Delaware Court of Chancery case actually taught Michael Eisner a lesson.

Ronan asked again: "Michael, have you considered the question of whether the supporters you have identified so far, plus the consortium behind me, can represent the equity that you will not step down at the shareholder meeting?" ”

Michael Eisner was tempted to say yes, but after thinking about it, he said, "There's a lot of hope. ”

Ronan said mercilessly: "As far as I know, you and Roy Disney, their respective supporters are in the minority among the many shareholders, and most shareholders choose who to support depends on who can bring benefits to their investment." ”

Michael Eisner said again: "I was the one who developed Disney into the entertainment media group it is today. ”

Hearing these words, immersed in the glory of the past, Ronan could only sigh in his heart, as time passed, that enterprising Michael Eisner completely changed.

"From what I understand, a large number of centrist shareholders have chosen to support Roy Disney. Ronan continues to shatter Michael Eisner's illusions: "And not you, the current chairman. ”

He raised his hand to stop what Michael Eisner wanted to say: "Strictly speaking, I'm also a centrist shareholder of Disney, and I understand what they think." ”

Michael Eisner was somewhat upset and asked, "Then why don't you support Roy Disney?"

Ronan held up two fingers: "Two reasons. He said one by one: "The first point, Bob cares about the old feelings and persuades me to support you. The second point is that Relativity Entertainment wants to fight for more profits. ”

Hearing the second point, Michael Eisner immediately realized that the conditions he had just offered might not satisfy the appetite of Ronan Anderson and Relativity Entertainment.

Michael Eisner looked at Ronan and said, "What do you want?"

"Relativity Entertainment has partnered with Disney. Ronan's answer was plausible: "Comprehensively pull Disney's stock price and expand Disney's new business, so that everyone can see it." Disney's situation is rapidly improving, and it will soon turn the tide. If it happens, how many of those centrist shareholders will support Roy Disney?"

He stressed: "Roy Disney is just uniting people to get you out of power, and there is no plan for the future. ”

Michael Eisner stared at Ronan and found that he couldn't understand the young man at all, but answered: "Whoever can bring in the benefits will be supported by the centrist shareholders." ”

"So, that's the crux of the matter," Ronan said. ”

"Do you have a way?" wondered Michael Eisner.

Ronan gradually revealed his intentions: "I'm sure that Roy Disney won't win at the shareholder meeting. ”

Michael Eisner didn't ask for a specific solution, but was wary: "Say, Ronan, what do you want?"

No matter how arrogant and confident he is, Michael Eisner knows that it will inevitably fall to the level of exchange of interests in the end.

"Actually, I don't want much, not much other than what you said. Of course, Ronan asked the lion to open his mouth, raise the price first, and then talk slowly: "I heard that EPN's performance has declined sharply this year, why don't you sell it to Relativity Entertainment?" Also, the rights to all Disney's animated films, including those from Pixar Studios. ”

Like a cat with its tail stepped on, Michael Eisner stood up: "It's impossible!"

Without the support of Relativity Entertainment and Ronan Anderson, it is possible to step down at the shareholders' meeting, but if you agree to such conditions, you will be immediately ousted by the board of directors.

EPN is the only profitable TV station owned by Walt Disney.

Those animated feature films are the essence of what makes Disney Disney!

Michael Eisner said flatly: "Ronan, if this is the condition, there is no need for us to talk about it. ”

Ronan said slowly: "If you lose at the shareholder meeting, can just leaving your job solve the problem? Will Roy Disney let you go? Is there room for reconciliation between you?"

Michael Eisner closed his eyes slightly, and when it came to the point where he was now, he could certainly see that Ronan Anderson was ready from the moment he met Robert Iger.

How can Relativity Entertainment benefit Disney in preparation!

Such conditions are very, very excessive, and it is impossible for Michael Eisner to agree, but he is also thinking about a question, where is his retreat?

After several years of planning and taking advantage of various situations to achieve today's results, Ronan pressed step by step: "Losing the position of chairman and CEO of Disney, losing the support of Disney's board of directors and management, what is the outcome of this lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery? If you lose, it may be more than $200 million in damages, Michael, how do you pay?"

Michael Eisner sat down slowly, and these became reality, and Roy Disney chased after him, and he had a good chance of ending up in bankruptcy.

Ronan continued: "In turn, you can make the shareholders see hope that it will be profitable soon, and they will continue to bite you?"

Michael Eisner's heart is sinking, but he still has the bottom line of being a man, and he almost mustered up all the courage and said: "Even if I go bankrupt, I can't agree to your conditions." ”

Even if he agreed, he wouldn't have passed the boardroom!

Ronan nodded, and suddenly said, "I ask Disney to return the copyright to all the cartoons of Pixar Studios back to Pixar." ”

Michael Eisner looked up at Ronan and understood that this was a bargain: "It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the shareholder meeting, right?"

Ronan said lightly: "Steve Jobs will assist you and announce to the public that Pixar Studios continues to cooperate with Disney...... Well, my suggestion, Disney announced the acquisition of Pixar Studios, and released the news that Pixar executives, led by Edel Camter and John Lasseter, will fully take over Disney Animation Studios. ”

Michael Eisner asks, "Pixar Studios is joining Relativity Entertainment?"

Ronan did not deny it: "In the eyes of the outside world, Pixar Studios is about to become part of Disney, and the revitalization of Disney animation is just around the corner." ”

Michael Eisner asked, "Anything else?"

"Relativity Entertainment has a strategic partnership with Walt Disney. We can negotiate a lot of licenses, like Pirates of the Caribbean, Peppa Pig and Minions, and so on, and that can send a signal to the outside world. ”

"It's not enough. Michael Eisner shook his head.

Ronan continued, "Relativity Entertainment is in talks with Walt Disney on a partnership on live-action films, involving maybe twenty films, and I personally serve as a producer. Accordingly, Disney Animation Studios authorized the theory of relativity to ......"

Michael Eisner said, "There's no room for Disney's animated films!"

Ronan said, "I don't want animated films? You license the corresponding live-action movies to Relativity Entertainment, including the fact that live-action films can use music and songs, etc., and then we announce that we will cooperate with live-action films." ”

"We can work together on this!" Michael Eisner knows, live-action films are not sensitive.

Ronan said: "Relativity Entertainment wants authorization, and as for cooperation, of course, like the previous ones, it is for the outside world to show shareholders. ”

Compared with the initial conditions, these did not touch Michael Eisner's bottom line, and Michael Eisner also weighed before and after, whether it was operational?

If these businesses are announced, some of Disney's shareholders will inevitably be shaken.

The two talked for a whole day, and talked a lot more, for the sake of the position under the butt, for his own safety, Michael Eisner left with a lot of ease.
