"The first guarantee of Relativity Entertainment is the investment interest. Ronan appeared frank and unrestrained, with an attitude that business matters are only decided by interests: "Therefore, what I want to see is a stable Walt Disney." ”

He smiled: "As for who is in power, it is not particularly important for Relativity Entertainment. ”

With an old fox like Roy Disney who has gone through the mall, it is useless to talk about relationships, it will only make him feel that he has ulterior motives.

With hundreds of millions of dollars in investment involved, relativistic entertainment interference seems normal.

Roy Disney asked coldly, "That is, you wouldn't mind working with Michael Eisner if I turned you down?"

Ronan said: "If Relativity Entertainment's investment wants to be profitable, Disney must be stable, although Michael Eisner may not be a good choice, but it is a hundred times better than continuing the civil war, and Disney can have today, no one can ignore the performance made by Michael Eisner." ”

His voice was also getting colder: "Although emotionally speaking, I don't like Michael Eisner as a person, but ......"

I didn't go any further, but the meaning was very obvious.

Roy Disney looked at the ugly face of the capitalist opposite, and actually believed in his heart that for the sake of commercial interests, Relativity Entertainment would definitely do such a thing.

After all, Relativity Entertainment and Ronan Anderson don't have much to do with the Disney family.

Besides, even if the relationship is good, can it be worth hundreds of millions of dollars?

Roy Disney is also secretly calculating that if Relativity Entertainment turns to support Michael Eisner, will it drive some centrists to turn to Michael Eisner?

It's really hard to say.

Ronan said at this time: "Of course, this is a worse choice, Michael Eisner is no longer the Michael Eisner of the past." ”

Roy Disney couldn't agree more: "Michael Eisner is no longer capable of leading Disney forward, and Disney's performance in recent years has also proved that Disney's performance under Michael Eisner's performance is shrinking." ”

Ronan nodded approvingly.

But I knew in my heart that I couldn't be so qualified, the main reason for Disney's decline was civil strife, which was more serious for a company than an external crisis.

Another point is the emergence of relativistic entertainment.

Relativity Entertainment does not seem to have directly had a conflict of interest with Disney, but whether it is Pixar Studios or film projects such as "Pirates of the Caribbean", Disney has been affected.

Ronan said: "Roy, you are the old man of Disney, no one knows Disney better than you, and the first choice of Relativity Entertainment is you." ”

"I guess you're not so generous, are you?" Roy Disney can see through the essence of these business groups: "Support me, not only for the sake of investment and income, but also other requirements, right?"

Ronan laughed: "It's easy and refreshing to talk to smart people. ”

Roy Disney put on a straight face: "Say it." ”

Ronan put away his smile and said seriously: "Relativity Entertainment acquires the rights of all past animated feature films from Disney Animation Studios, and we will give Disney a satisfactory price......"

Roy Disney thinks she's ready for it, but when she hears this, she can still only describe it as shocked!

He stared at Ronan as if he had a new understanding of the ugly face of capital.

Ronan didn't care, this first condition is just a temptation, if it's possible, Relativity Entertainment will chase after it, if it's impossible, let's talk about the rest.

"Absolutely impossible!" Roy Disney was a little angry: "Disney will never sell the rights to animated films unless there is no one in the Disney family!"

He stood up angrily, as if to say goodbye.

Of course, Roy Disney is also showing his attitude, there is nothing to talk about this kind of thing!

Disney would rather sell all of Disney's parks than sell Disney's animated film rights.

That's the foundation of Disney! That's the key to Disney!

"Other authorized ......" Ronan tried again.

Roy Disney said word by word: "I said it, it's any copyright!"

Ronan understood, and gave up, and said: "Roy, we are negotiating, and cooperation is to seek common ground while reserving differences. ”

Roy Disney sat back down and emphasized, "No one in the Disney family is allowed to do such a thing!"

Ronan could hear Roy Disney's determination and understood that Roy Disney would never accept such conditions.

"In that case, I don't want to win people's love. Ronan said calmly.

Although Roy Disney is angry, his wariness of Ronan has returned to the normal level, and a person with a purpose and a huge profit comes to the door to cooperate, which is actually more reliable than the kind of relationship and relationship.

The latter is hidden behind the emotional card, often with more sinister intentions and greater interests appealing.

Business cooperation is never based on emotional factors.

Roy Disney said: "Ronan, although some things are difficult to do, the strength of the Disney family should not be underestimated, and Disney ending the civil strife is a win-win for us. ”

This is telling Ronan that he Roy Disney does not have to cooperate with Relativity Entertainment, and the so-called conditions and requirements should not be excessive.

Ronan seemed to understand what Roy Disney meant, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, it makes sense, it's not difficult to do." He said softly, "Relativity Entertainment will seek to join the MPAA when the time is right, and I ask Disney to fully support Relativity Entertainment's appeal." ”

Sure enough, this young man's ambition is not ordinary! Roy Disney sighed and said, "You want to be on an equal footing with the big six companies?"

Ronan said: "Relativity Entertainment already has that kind of strength. ”

"The pattern of the Big Six has been maintained for so many years and has not been broken. Roy Disney said: "The MPAA is actually a key point, and it is not enough for Disney to support it alone, and the other five companies have no objection." ”

Ronan smiled: "There's always a way. ”

Roy Disney said in a deep voice: "If you want to break the inherent pattern of the Big Six, it's not that simple. ”

Ronan said: "With Disney's support, at least a big step forward. ”

Roy Disney pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, as long as Michael Eisner steps down, Disney fully supports Relativity Entertainment into the MPAA!"

Ronan stood up and took the initiative to stretch out his hand: "I hope the cooperation is happy." ”

Roy Disney shook his hand heavily: "I hope you can send enough people to put in the actual work as soon as possible, cut off Michael Eisner's personal financing channels, and drive other shareholders to become our alliance." ”

Especially the latter point, the current reputation of Relativity Entertainment in the industry is very likely to affect the choice of many neutral shareholders.

Ronan said seriously: "Robert Iger will soon be in New York with the CEO of Relativity Entertainment personally involved in the operation. ”

Roy Disney said, "A word is a deal. ”

Ronan said, "It's a word. ”

The two exchanged words for a while, and then took their own leave.

In addition to the clubhouse, Roy Disney feels that the sun is also shining in New York, and the skyscrapers look eye-catching.

Despite being in a good mood and feeling like another big step towards his goal, Roy Disney cautioned himself to be properly vigilant about relativistic entertainment as well.

Back at the hotel, I specifically let people know about the situation, and learned that Relativity Entertainment is indeed increasing its shareholding, such as acquiring Disney shares in the hands of the Weinstein brothers, and Roy Disney is also relatively relieved.

Combined with the actual situation they have learned, after thinking about it, it is in the best interest of Relativity Entertainment to cooperate with him.

That night, Robert Iger traveled from Los Angeles to New York.

"How's the talk?" asked Robert Egger.

"Roy Disney is desperate to end this feud. Ronan elaborated on the situation: "Generally it went well, but we can't relax. Bob, you personally come forward and negotiate with the shareholders of Disney to stabilize Roy Disney. ”

Connie asked, "We're not working with Roy Disney?"

Ronan smiled and said, "We work with Roy Disney, but we also work with other people, and we choose the people who best meet our needs. ”

Connie roughly understood, and didn't ask any more questions.

Robert Iger said: "I'm ready on my side, but the biggest agencies in front of me also need you to come in person. ”

Ronan nodded, "No problem." He asked, "Bob, how sure are you that these shareholders are tempted?"

"They don't invest to develop the film industry, they invest to make a profit. Robert Iger said, "We just need to create a good opportunity that will get them out of the Disney spiral and make a profit." Don't think too far ahead of Wall Street, these people smell opportunities and only have interests in their eyes. ”

Ronan suddenly thought of the former Lehman Brothers, as one of the top investment banks on Wall Street, would they not know the serious consequences of such crazy operation?

But huge profits are at your fingertips, and a few people will care about the future.

Moreover, Ronan and Robert Iger plan a feast that is not particularly luxurious, but also rich.

"This matter cannot be rushed, it needs timing. Robert Iger reminded: "We've been waiting and planning for years, not a few months. ”

Ronan nodded slightly: "I understand." He asked, "When will Steve Jobs arrive?"

"When we have the initial results, he'll come to New York in person, and I've talked to him twice that Steve Jobs will work with us if we can make sure we get the rights back for Pixar Studios," said Robert Iger. For a period of time to come, as long as there is no conflict of interest, Steve Jobs will basically be on the same page with us. ”

Ronan said: "You also have to be prepared for Jobs to turn around in the future." ”

Hopefully, there won't be a day when Jobs is capable of money, but there are no more years left.
