Chapter 896: Change

On the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York, in a luxury condominium, Langley made a special visit to Lloyd Blankfein.

"What do you think of the recent situation at Disney?" asked Langley.

Lloyd Blank Fein said: "Ronan Anderson is still the same Ronan Anderson, using Roy Disney to put Michael Eisner in danger first and then working with Michael Eisner. It's just that these two people are like water and fire, and they can't communicate with each other at all......"

Langley laughs, "It's straightforward but effective. ”

Lloyd Blankfein sighed: "Ronan shouldn't go to Hollywood, Wall Street is where he should be." ”

"The perfect persona, the opposite of the inside. Langley said naturally: "We also have to guard against him, be careful of being pitted." ”

Lloyd Blankfein has a great mentality: "He's on the lookout for us, and that's the way we get along with the real company. ”

There is one sentence he did not say, the major companies on Wall Street are also guarding against each other.

Wall Street dug holes into each other, and it was even more bloody.

Langley looked out the window at the ocean view and said, "Anyway, Ronan Anderson has achieved the desired effect. However, in half a month, Disney's stock price has risen by more than 10 percent, and it continues to climb. ”

Lloyd Blankfein said: "At least on Disney, we're aligned with Ronan Anderson's interests. He instead asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Just make a few statements, say a few words. Langley was in a good mood overall: "You don't need to really invest resources, but you could have hundreds of millions of dollars in benefits, so why not do it?"

Lloyd Blankfein nodded slowly: "I think so too, Ronan Anderson has done basically everything he can, we just need to cheer." ”

Langley continued: "Strictly speaking, this is also a revitalization of an investment that would otherwise be unsuccessful. ”

"Don't forget, Ronan has already found a potential next home. Lloyd Blankfein said, "Wall Street is very crowded, and it's better for the people below to stay down there forever." ”

Langley laughed, "I couldn't agree more. ”

The good news about Disney broke out almost in November.

Relativity Entertainment's cooperation in movies is considered by the outside world to be an effective solution to Disney's relatively weak live-action film business, and the acquisition of Pixar Studios is the key to the revival of Disney Animation.

Just like professional film critics, there are too many brokers and famous analysts in North America who only believe in money and don't think about moderation, and the media can be full of news and commentary such as Disney's imminent demise.

Wall Street is not willing to be lonely, and a number of first-line investment companies and market forecasters have expressed great optimism about Disney's future prospects.

Even companies led by Goldman Sachs have revealed that they may increase their stake in Disney.

Then, some disappeared people claimed in the media and on the Internet that there was definite information that the pillars of Pixar Studios, John Lasseter and Edel Camter, were already talking to Walt Disney about personal salary packages.

Negotiations between Walt Disney and Relativity Entertainment are progressing very well, and after Relativity Entertainment completed the licensing of Pirates of the Caribbean, Disney Animation Studios also signed a formal agreement with Shahai Entertainment to grant the filming of all of its animated feature films and related copyrights to Shahai Entertainment.

For those live-action rights to animated films, Disney is far less serious than it does with animation.

To ask for the rights to Disney's classic animated feature films, it is to Disney's life, and even the board of directors under the control of Michael Eisner cannot pass it.

But the so-called live-action movie copyright, in the eyes of most Disney management, as long as the conditions are suitable, it is not impossible to authorize.

Even many people think that it is a very cost-effective deal to be able to exchange the license for Relativity Entertainment's cooperation on live-action movies.

It is widely believed that this is the beginning of the strategic cooperation between Relativity Entertainment and Disney, but this contract, like the previous authorization of "Pirates of the Caribbean", is not disclosed to the public as a trade secret.

In fact, under the full promotion of Michael Eisner, the chairman and CEO, Relativity Entertainment has obtained the authorization of Ronan's heart for the classic animated live-action film, which not only can shoot live-action films, but also includes the use of all the images of the original for promotional marketing, as well as automatic access to the right to use or adapt the original song and dubbing.

Due to the great freedom of the licensing agreement, coupled with the fact that Disney's formal procedures are followed, and in line with the requirements of laws and regulations, it will not be a problem for Relativity Entertainment to kick out Walt Disney and invest in filming alone in the future.

Between immediate death and staying in office beyond the psychological threshold, Michael Eisner chose the latter.

The possible consequences of the former are too serious for anyone to bear.

As we all know, the stock market is a very peculiar market, and some people can sell billions of companies if they sell their concepts.

There are also people who use fake technology to hype up propaganda and become famous and rich beauties in the United States.

All the good news is reflected in the stock market.

Disney stocks, which were once stagnant waters, gradually regained great vitality, and by mid-November, it seemed to be back to the mid-90s of the last century.

Relativity Entertainment doesn't need to do much at this time, and it is impossible for those large investors who see profits to miss this opportunity.

But Ronan is well aware that the dangers of financial drug addiction are enormous, and he draws a line that relativistic entertainment must leave the scene before it can be touched.

Century City, on the top floor of the Relativity Building, in Ronan's dedicated reception room.

Roy Disney, who was slightly old, looked at Ronan and said in a cold voice: "This is your integrity? Ronan Anderson, what do you want to do!"

Ronan said: "Relativity Entertainment Disney cooperation, is it a win-win situation, is there a problem?"

Roy Disney looked at Ronan with burning eyes: "You said you wouldn't support Michael Eisner!"

Ronan spread his hands, very calmly, as honest and reliable as ever: "I never said I was going to support Michael Eisner at the shareholder meeting. ”

"Now, is it necessary to deny it?" Roy Disney angrily rebuked: "You are a betrayal of the Red Building!"

Ronan said directly: "I don't have to deny people at all. ”

A good-tempered person like Roy Disney can't help but be angry: "Relativity Entertainment's series of behaviors is supporting Michael Eisner!"

Ronan shook his head: "This is a normal business cooperation, and the benefits are Relativity Entertainment and Walt Disney." Roy, don't you want to see Disney reap? ”

Roy Disney is outraged: "Michael Eisner is selling out Disney's interests, your plot will not succeed, I will publicly accuse it in front of the media!"

Ronan sighed and said, "I'm not ashamed. ”

Of course, he only thinks about the interests of relativity entertainment in his heart, and he will naturally not lose himself by doing this.

Roy Disney left the Relativity edifice in anger and immediately made a series of remarks against Ronan and Michael Eisner through the media that supported him.

But for Disney's management, few people cared about Roy Disney's rhetoric, because they were already in a hostile position.

Roy Disney has a limited voice in the media, and he's been away from frontline work for too long.

Disney's shareholders are not so much supporting Roy Disney as they are extremely dissatisfied with Michael Eisner's performance in recent years.

In fact, Michael Eisner has been Disney's dictator since the death of Disney CEO Frank Wells in a plane crash in 1994, but almost no one opposed him at that time.

Because Michael Eisner can bring huge returns, it will allow shareholders to continue to appreciate their investments.

The centrist shareholders who hold the largest stake in Disney have also changed significantly in their attitudes towards Roy Disney and Michael Eisner.

The rising Disney stock price on the stock market has made shareholders rejoice.

Burbank, the Walt Disney headquarters building, Mario Brady, a well-known investor from Sacramento, came to Michael Eisner's office under the pretext of visiting old friends.

"Last time, we were seduced by Roy Disney. ”

Facing an old friend who was abandoned not long ago, Mario Brady was not half embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Roy Disney blinded us and made us unable to see the truth, but fortunately we woke up in time......"

Michael Eisner wanted to slap this man in the face, but thinking of the shareholders' meeting that was going to take place soon, he held back all his anger, waved his hand, and said: "Mario, we have been friends and partners for many years, and I always believe that you will return to the right path and will continue to support me." ”

"Of course!" Mario Brady was very clear: "I and my investment partners have always been your supporters, and you can rest assured of that. ”

Michael Eisner knows this is a critical time, saying, "I will definitely guarantee the interests of all shareholders. ”

Compared to the last time they met, the atmosphere between the two was unusually harmonious, as if everything had never happened before, and it could be described as a joy for the guests and hosts.

When Mario Brady said goodbye and left, Michael Eisner personally sent him to the first-floor lobby.

As soon as he returned to the office, he received calls from several shareholders, and these former wall-riding factions now have no relationship with Roy Disney, believing that he will lead Disney forward.

Things are starting to get better, and Michael Eisner is relieved that he will have plenty of time to plan against Roy Disney as long as he can get through this shareholder meeting.

In the past, considering that Roy Disney had the grace of knowing him, it was still about soft-heartedness.

Michael Eisner believes that as long as the cancer of Roy Disney is removed and Disney remains under his control, Disney will still be the fast-growing entertainment media group.
