Away from the detached house, Dick Cook came to the pool and sat down on a chair.

His wife, who really ran the club, came over, sat next to her, and asked with concern, "How are you talking?"

Dick Cook picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip, and shook his head slightly: "I don't know, I was kicked out." ”

"Kicked out?" Cook's wife frowned.

Dick Cook said with a little helplessness: "Michael Eisner's temperament, you are not unclear. ”

The wife was silent for a while before she sighed and said, "This time, he's dangerous, right?"

In front of him is Dick Cook's most trusted person: "Isn't it forced to a certain extent, realizing that the situation is not good, with Michael Eisner's person, he will take the initiative to find a former subordinate like Robert Eger?"

I don't think I know much more about what Michael Eisner is than his old subordinate, who has followed him for many years.

"yes. The wife thought about it and asked, "Relativity Entertainment is now a shareholder of Disney, and they will work with Michael Eisner?"

Dick Cook said: "It's hard, but Michael Eisner has to fight for it. More than half of the shareholders who supported Michael Eisner in the past are now unclear and are likely to switch to Roy Disney at the shareholder meeting, or remain neutral. Michael Eisner's bag company has little money to continue eating into Disney's shares, and now Roy Disney has an all-round advantage......"

The wife said, "Will Michael Eisner step down?"

Dick Cook didn't speak, and although he didn't want to admit it, the situation was really, really unfavorable.

Again, as long as the situation is acceptable, with Michael Eisner's arrogance, it is impossible to take the initiative to ask his former subordinate Robert Iger for help.

"What are you going to do?" said his wife suddenly.

Dick Cook smiled: "I haven't figured it out yet. ”

His wife leaned closer and suddenly said: "You are the president of Disney, you have been working at Disney since 1970, and you have not left Disney for a single day in 35 years. ”

She glanced at her silent husband and continued: "Even Robert Iger can become the CEO of a large entertainment media group, why don't you seek to go further. ”

Dick Cook shook his head, "Do you think I haven't thought about it? Do you know how hard this step is?"

"Roy Disney is old, and the past has proven that he is not good at running a company. The wife suddenly said, "Down with Michael Eisner, Roy Disney needs a new CEO." ”

Dick Cook looked at his wife and asked, "Have you been in contact with Roy Disney?"

The wife hurriedly waved her hand: "No, you know, I will never hide this kind of thing from you." She calmly looked at her husband: "I'm just thinking about your future." ”

Dick Cook sighed, but didn't reply.

Despite his grievances and other thoughts, Dick Cook never acted on it.

Within Walt Disney, Dick Cook even has the nickname of "Disney's kindest person", otherwise he would not have followed Michael Eisner all the time without looking back.

Michael Eisner's promotion to the position of president of the group was naturally considered comprehensively.

The wife said again: "Think about it, don't force yourself, no matter what you decide, I will support you." She also sighed: "Without you, this club will be closed." ”

Dick Cook was silent, just thinking about the experience of the past thirty-five years.

He started working at Disney in 1970, initially as a steam locomotive and monorail driver at an amusement park, and then transferred to the film production department to take over filming and distribution.

This battle with Walt Disney is difficult to end peacefully, and Michael Eisner is good to say that as long as he continues to sit in the position of chairman and CEO of Disney, there will always be many ways to deal with Roy Disney's lawsuit against the law.

But what did Michael Eisner lose, and what would he do against a consortium of so many shareholders in Roy Disney and the Disney Group?

Thirty-five years of Disney veterans will inevitably be swept out of the house by then, right?

However, even if you contact Roy Disney, it is estimated that the other party will not believe that he put it?

…………

Inside that white house, Michael Eisner has finished greeting Robert Iger.

"Bob, when Disney acquired AB, the first time I saw you, I thought you were a talent. Michael Eisner began to reminisce about the past of the two: "At that time, I thought, you must have a great future development, which is why you transferred from AB to Disney. ”

Robert Iger always maintained a kind smile: "I have always been grateful to Mr. Eisner. ”

Michael Eisner's habits that have been cultivated over the years are difficult to change, and Disney's authoritarian style has penetrated into his bones: "Among the many people I have brought out, you are also the best developed." ”

Robert Iger smiled, but he didn't think so, if he really admired him, why did he transfer him to the island country back then?

Michael Eisner couldn't see through Robert Iger's thoughts, and said to himself: "Like you, like Dick, they are all my old subordinates and old friends, so if there is anything, I always think of you first, can you ......"

He paused, as if the latter words were difficult to say, but the current situation forced him to say: "You old subordinates and old friends can also be relied on." ”

Robert Iger knew what Michael Eisner wanted to do when he approached him, because that was one of the many possibilities that the plan envisioned.

Relativity Entertainment has successively eaten Disney's shares and become a company with relatively high equity, which is one of the purposes.

One of the purposes of secretly working with Roy Disney to compress Michael Eisner's space is also to get Michael Eisner on the path he is today.

Even if you don't go, it's almost later, and Relativity Entertainment will take the initiative to find Michael Eisner.

According to the previous team's assessment, Michael Eisner is very likely to find him, an old subordinate.

After all, it's easier to pull the relationship between the two parties.

Today's meeting is also a relatively ideal result.

"Do you need help?" Robert Iger seemed to be very upright, with a smile on his face and a clear expression of his words: "I will never shirk what I can help." ”

Michael Eisner's gaze swept over Robert Iger and said, "It's not that hard. Bob, you've worked at Disney for many years, and you should have heard about my affair with Roy Disney, and now Roy Disney has not only sued me in the Delaware Court of Chancery, but is also uniting many shareholders to challenge me at this year's Disney shareholder meeting and remove me from all my positions. ”

He said what he really meant: "Relativity Entertainment seems to have a three-percent stake in Disney, right?"

"Relativity Entertainment has a stake in Disney. Robert Iger slowly answered: "I've heard what you said, and Roy Disney actually came into contact with Relativity Entertainment some time ago. He explained: "Roy Disney probably wanted to seek the support of relativistic entertainment. ”

Michael Eisner raised an eyebrow and asked, "Relativity Entertainment made the decision?"

Robert Iger spread his hands and said, "Roy Disney saw Ronan, not me, and I don't know the specifics." ”

Michael Eisner said, "Bob, we're old friends, I've never had a conflict of interest with you Relativity Entertainment, you're going to do me a favor!"

Even at times like these, Michael Eisner still says yes, not please.

Robert Iger has a very strong view of the overall situation, although this is not very pleasant, but he does not dwell on such details at all, and says: "To tell you the truth, my responsibility is the daily operation of the company, which is not within the scope of my responsibility, and I basically can't speak." ”

Michael Eisner asked, "Ronan Anderson?"

"Yes, Relativity Entertainment is the only one who can make that decision. Robert Iger knew very well that after a series of schemes and Michael Eisner's refusal to meet with Ronan in the summer, the time was ripe for an interview between the two parties: "Mr. Eisner, I am the CEO of Relativity Entertainment, and I can neither overstep my authority nor harm the interests of Relativity Entertainment. ”

Michael Eisner looked at Robert Egger, looked at the former subordinate's humble and polite smile, and knew that it was impossible to let him help in private, so he had to say, "Bob, you can help me meet Ronan." ”

This kind of thing, it seems, can only be discussed with Ronan Anderson in person.

The young man was said to be very difficult to deal with.

But if you can get one more support, you will be more likely to stay at Disney.

You can't just step down like this, and once you step down, you will go bankrupt.

Robert Iger only thought about it for a few seconds and said, "I'll contact Ronan when I get back, but Mr. Eisner, I don't guarantee that Ronan will say yes." ”

Michael Eisner said: "Give me Ronan's contact information, and I'll call him personally once you've contacted him." ”

Robert Iger found out Ronan's contact details and handed it to Michael Eisner: "I will persuade Ronan to meet with you, I can't guarantee the rest." ”

"I see. Michael Eisner waved his hand and said, "Bob, that's all for today." ”

Although the tone and attitude of the words were very uncomfortable, Robert Iger said nothing, got up and left.

Michael Eisner looked at the phone number in his hand, frowned slightly, and thought about it.

That night, Ronan received a call from Robert Eger: "Michael Eisner wants to meet with you. ”

The two met at the company and talked late.

But Michael Eisner's phone call didn't come until a day later, and the two sides agreed to meet in three days.

Ronan and Robert Iger are also ready.
