916 Power Struggle?

Disney's problem, Michael Eisner's problem, is very prominent, obvious.

However, what Donn just said was Barry Diller's opposition to the acquisition of Prada.

Is there a relationship between the two?

Michael Ovitz said deeply: "Don't forget, Eisner back then was just a little assistant next to Barry Diller." All of his business philosophies come from Barry Diller. ”

Don's face changed!

It's incredible.

"You mean...... Power struggle?" Donn blurted out, rather surprised.

Michael Ovitz said: "Isn't it normal for a company as large as New Globe to have some power struggles in the workplace?"

Tang En fell silent immediately.

After thinking about it repeatedly, it seems that this is really the case.

Tang is the chairman of New Globe, but he is primarily responsible for strategic decision-making. In terms of management, he has less involvement, relying more on CEO Barry Diller and President Robert Iger.

When New Globe was first formed, executives were able to work together.

Now the strength of New Universal is getting bigger and bigger, and after defeating Viacom, the breadth of the industry and the power seem to have surpassed Disney and have the strength to compete with Time Warner.

As Barry Diller explains, New Globe's business ...... It's already very stable, and there's no need to take any more risks.

In other words, it's time to close the territory and everyone sit down and share the benefits.

Robert Iger was born in Disney, and Andrew Mooney was also born in Disney, and the two have a good relationship.

If Donne sets out to build the fashion industry and puts Andrew Mooney in charge.

Doesn't that mean...... Is this increasing the scope of Robert Iger's power? and a very large piece of business power!

Barry Diller is the CEO, the first person to be in charge other than Donn, and he will definitely have to suppress his subordinates.

Especially Robert Iger, who was almost handpicked by Donn as the successor to the next CEO.

Thinking of this, Don's face became more and more ugly.

Some rage!

Previously, he also knew a little about the power struggle within the company, especially the power struggle between Barry Dieller and Robert Iger, and many people secretly reported to him in private.

He is happy to see this kind of thing happen.

The art of balance.

The power confrontation between the two factions is more conducive to his big boss's overall control of the company.

It's a bit like the ancient art of emperors.

However, it would be too out of line if the struggle for power crossed the line and even reached the point of sacrificing the interests of the company.

The acquisition of Prada, even a layman, can see the great benefits of this.

Will Barry Diller not see it?

Is it really because of a power struggle that he didn't agree to the acquisition?

If that's the case, it's a real disappointment!

……

After work that day, Don went to Little Taylor's house.

He's going to Asia to promote "The Departed", and by the way, he'll take her there, after all, Dad's new home is in Asia.

Not seeing her father for too long is not good for her growth.

On the other hand, it is also to find her mother and do some private communication.

Little Taylor's mother, Andrea, was the financial director of Down Pictures in her early years. After the company is collected, there is a need for more competent professionals to manage the finances. She retired from the top decision-making level, but she is also a member of the senior management, and is the deputy director of the finance department, mainly responsible for financial review and statistics in salary, reimbursement, audit and other aspects.

To put it bluntly, it is a henchman arranged by Don.

Secretly monitoring the level of spending of every executive of the New Global Group!

"When are you going to tell my mom about the two of us?" little Taylor was very excited, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, covering his mouth, and whispered into Donn's ear.

Big eyes blink and blink, very cunning, very narrow-minded.

Don glared at her, "Be nice, I've got something to do!"

"I won't!"

"If you don't obey, I won't take you out to play!"

"Oh, don't!"

Little Taylor was immediately dissatisfied, and his mouth was pouted high.

Whether she can go to Asia to see her father or not is not important to her at all. In fact, she was even a little disgusted that her father, Scott Swift's new love, was too young to be her sister.

She mainly wanted to hang out with Don and take time off to skip school by the way......

is different from the parents of high-achieving students, she has a high school degree in her life. Fortunately, she is talented, she has a very good set of lyrics and compositions, and it is no problem to be a singer-songwriter.

Don warned her, "Then be honest!"

Little Taylor rolled his eyes and whispered, "Let me tell you a secret, my mother is in love." ”

"Huh? really?"

Don was a little surprised, but that's good news.

Little Taylor's parents will divorce, the main reason is, of course, emotional problems, objective factors...... also has the influence of Donn, if he hadn't arranged Scott Swift to make money in other places, the relationship between the husband and wife would not have turned cold quickly.

Even if you get divorced, it will be delayed for several years, just like in your previous life.

Now, Scott has a new home.

If Andrea also has a new relationship and wants a new family, it will make Don feel a lot more at ease.

After a while, Andrea came over with a fruit bowl, and Don smiled and said, "I heard...... You got a boyfriend?"

Andrea was stunned and glanced at her daughter.

Little Taylor raised his white chin and smiled.

"Well, his name is Frank Hemmer and he's the vice president of Universal International Distribution. He divorced last year and has a 17-year-old son...... We've been in contact for 3 months, and we're pretty talkative. When Andrea talked about this topic, she was a little weak-hearted.

Companies tend to be very disgusted with the love between employees. Especially among executives, it is a big taboo.

For example, Andrea is the vice president of the finance department of the headquarters, and his boyfriend is the vice president of global distribution, and the places of work are all in the new global headquarters park. Once the two get married, a little insider operation is likely to infringe on the company's interests.

Tang En pondered for a moment, then smiled: "It's okay, in principle, I have no problem!"

Andrea said, "We have discussed, if we get married...... My job won't move, he'll choose to quit and go to work at Disney or Warner. ”

"Wow! You're all talking about getting married?"

Little Taylor screamed exaggeratedly as if he had discovered a new world.

Andrea said angrily, "Little child, is there anything wrong with you?"

Little Taylor was unconvinced: "Why not? If you get married, you must live together, right? I'm a girl, and that stupid guy's child is a boy." How inconvenient is it for us to live together?"

"How inconvenient, that's your brother!" Andrea said sternly.

With Don present, little Taylor was not afraid, and raised his neck and said, "I don't want any bullshit brother......!" On the day you get married, I'll run away from home!"

"Nonsense!"

Not to mention Andrea, Don was taken aback.

This little girl, crazy, right?

Little Taylor said as a matter of course: "I'm going to move out, I'm ...... I'm moving into Donn's house. Donne, do you think it's okay?"

"Uh......"

Don glanced at Andrea a little weakly.

A few years ago, little Taylor went to live in his house a lot.

I often go to his house as a guest on weekends and stay there at night.

It's no different from a second home.

However, things are different now.

The relationship between Donn and Taylor Jr. has been broken. In a few years, she will definitely be taken in the door. In fact, at her current age of 15, in the American environment, it is enough to determine the relationship.

"Don, do you think it's okay?"

Seeing that his mother did not object, little Taylor's face was filled with a smile of joy, and he hugged Donn's arm, smiling like a flower.

Don coughed lightly and said, "Andrea, I listen to your tone, your relationship with Frank...... It's already stable. I congratulate you. But Taylor is right, adolescent boys and girls are not suitable to live together. ”

When he said this, little Taylor almost burst out laughing.

Adolescent boys and girls are not suitable for living together.

She's a young girl, so it's suitable to live with a bad uncle like you?

That's bad!

Andrea sighed softly and didn't say anything more.

Little Taylor secretly made a "V" gesture to Don.

Tang En was also a little excited, he didn't expect to be "cheated" so easily.

However, Andrea is also a smart person.

It's little Taylor's mom again.

Little Taylor's little thoughts, she wouldn't be able to notice?

Could it be that she has seen the status quo and accepted the reality?

After all, over the years, Don has helped their family too much, not only making little Taylor grow up like a princess, but also her life and career have developed greatly.

Tang En could vaguely guess that Andrea should have seen something, but it didn't break it.

Tang En accepted it when he saw it, and quickly introduced the topic to work.

"Andrea, I remember you told me that Barry Diller is very restrained when it comes to financial reimbursement?"

He's the most powerful person in the company, but he doesn't even rank in the top 10 in monthly reimbursements, and last month, he reimbursed $600,000 less than Egger. For this reason, he also criticized his waste at a financial meeting, and used harsh words. ”

This is Andrea's main job, and she knows it well.

Donn frowned, "Robert Egger's reimbursement amount...... That's more than $600,000 more than Barry?"

Andrea said: "That's right, last month, Mr. Diller reimbursed $32,000, of which $20,000 was for travel expenses from the Chinese trip. However, his criticism of Mr. Iger ...... That's too harsh, at least I think. Although Mr. Egger was reimbursed a lot, he did not act in violation of the company's rules and regulations. ”
