Chapter 147 Transactions
Three million is not a small amount for Mark, he is not crazy enough that three million is not money, he is not even willing to buy a supercar of one million?
In order to collect the evidence this time, they hired the top private detective team, composed of all retired agents, with equipment and instruments that are not inferior to the active agents, their offer is 1.5 million, not everyone can afford it, but the more than one million is worth it, and it will soon change their unfavorable situation, this is even a major event that changes the Hollywood landscape, and no one can predict what consequences Disney, whose career is booming, will have due to this turmoil.
In order to make up for this loss, Mark and Meghan also made another response plan, which was proposed by Meghan, they transferred 50 million US dollars in the name of the company for stock speculation, I believe that Disney has experienced such turmoil, the stock price will definitely be greatly affected, there is room for capital operation, MM does not have a master who is good at capital and stock operation, but the Oracle Group has it, Larry not only promised to send troops to support, but also personally went out to play, personally taught the group of people who were in cahoots with J Puson, and taught those who were not Jews the same thing, Larry is Jewish, and his bloodline comes from the maternal line。
With such a deployment, Mark naturally won't take the three million in his eyes, they are playing a bigger game of chess, and Mark is now more willing to convince Michael that he did it to take revenge on "Jimmy Chicken Feather Show", rather than a conspiracy against the entire group, so that he can rest assured to eradicate his competitors.
Of course, at this point, Michael doesn't do it to eradicate the opponent, Mark They will also find a way to eradicate them when they invest a lot of money, and there will be chaos inside, this is the real killer move of Mark against Disney, they and Warner issued a ban order, the other party turned a blind eye, and wanted to do something to make the world powerful, this ban order will have a deterrent effect, not just say it like a joke.
Mark is because of "Jimmy's Chicken Feather Show" and Will's revelations, and the character collapsed, the popularity fell, and the media did not rush up like the pop emperor Michael, and attacked him in groups, because he Mark stood behind the lion Warner, if the lion didn't bite, others would be fearless, and used wolf pack tactics against Mark, Michael, the world's No. 1 superstar, took 20 years to ascend to the altar, was almost destroyed by people in a few weeks, and now he is entangled in lawsuits, hiding in a mansion in Beverly Hills with a monthly rent of 70,000 US dollars.
Mark himself compares himself to Michael, who is a tiger shark and Michael is a blue whale, full of fangs and sharp teeth, and a fierce and aggressive tiger shark, which is more fearsome.
Mark doesn't care that others regard him as a playboy, in Hollywood, far more than his careless people, Xiao Lizi killed him in seconds, and more power trading is a clear rule for many companies and crews, but no one dares to admit it, Mark just doesn't dare to admit it, and if others put it on his head, he will definitely push it away.
Disney President Michael suddenly received a phone call, and the secretariat turned him, and the other party claimed to be Mark's lawyer and had important matters to discuss.
Michael said, "You can call the legal department. ”
Baker said: "The legal department can't take care of Egger and Joey's secret meeting, and it won't be interested. ”
"What!" Michael couldn't hide his shock, as the leader of the Disney family, Joey criticized Michael's approach more than once, so Michael was cleared from the board of executive members, their contradictions are open, water and fire are incompatible, and Iger is his most relied on general, he trusts Igger, many important things are entrusted to him to do, he even has plans to train him to be a successor, Egg and Joey walked together, what are you kidding? This is his first reaction, he said: " This kind of sowing discord is too low-level. ”
Baker said: "If there is no video and audio recording, I dare to come to you? I am in the café downstairs of your company, and I will only wait for ten minutes." ”
Michael's thoughts are no longer optimistic, he immediately put on his coat and rushed to the café, he arrived in eight minutes, this is a café for employees, it is now working time, so there are very few people, he just entered the door, he saw a young man wearing glasses Svenwen beckoned to him, Michael walked over, at this time the waitress came over, saw that it was the president who arrived, very excited, Michael ordered a cup of coffee and signaled the other party not to disturb, he said straight to the point: "What about your evidence?"
Baker also understands that there is no hard goods in his hands, he is not even qualified to talk to Michael, the status gap between the two sides is huge, Baker does not bother to speak, takes out an Apple notebook, and opens one of the video folders, on which is the video clip of Iger and Joey in the secret meeting.
Although Michael was mentally prepared, his face still changed, he saw that the other party did not turn on the audio, so he wanted to reach over and turn on the audio, Baker pressed his hand and said: "We took it at a great cost, and we will not provide video sharing for the time being." ”
"Make a price, right?" Michael knew that the other party would come to the door to sell, it must be sold, this thing may only Michael will be interested in, and he will buy it at a large price, there is a video that can't explain anything, they can be said to be a private chat, but with the conversation, he has nothing to deny.
Baker retracted his hand, drank coffee leisurely, and said: "Do you think my boss Mark will be short of money? This video cost 1.5 million US dollars, hired the top team to shoot, and Mark's professional photographer Wally is also at this price, the boss has no intention of using it for profit, just to take a breath and stop the show of "Jimmy's Chicken Feather Show". ”
This is in line with the rich second-generation style of Qizhang, who is not bad for money.
Michael said: "I'll give you two million, and as for stopping the kid talk of "Jimmy's Chicken Feather Show", don't say it again, do you know how much advertising money he brings to ABC?"
"Goodbye!" Baker said, "Goodbye!" and he began to pack his things.
Michael took a sip of coffee, a cold look appeared in his eyes, and said: "Young man, it's good to know that it's good to see, this is Disney's territory, I can ask the security guard to get it for me, and if necessary, I can make you evaporate from the world." ”
The smell of this threat is strong.
Baker said: "I don't trust anyone, this is because I believe that human nature is evil, I won't go back in half an hour, WB TV will broadcast this video, we have estimated the impact, because you didn't prepare in advance, Disney will be on the verge of splitting, who wins and who loses depends on the competition between the two major forces, friendly reminder, there are many supporters of the other party." ”
Michael said, "Four million, call your master." ”
Baker said: "The boss entrusted me with full responsibility for the comparison, what you must know is that you can also clear people to check, the cost is far lower than four million, but you have to hurry, the other party is almost enough votes." ”
Michael gritted his teeth and said, "Five million!"
"Negotiations broke down," Baker said. ”
Michael said: "This talk show is ABC's trump card, it is impossible to remove it, but it can be replaced, it can be called Jason's chicken feather show, Jack's saliva show is okay, this is the bottom line." ”
Disney is in a civil war, not what he wants, with evidence in his hands, to seize the opportunity, he can quickly eradicate competitors, stabilize the situation, and minimize losses, and now he is competing with time, and buying evidence is the best way.
Baker said, "I've asked for this proposal?"
Michael made a gesture of please.
Baker immediately called to explain the situation, and soon he was given instructions, saying, "The show must be renamed in a week plus $1.5 million." ”
Michael said: "Deal!" He immediately opened a friend ticket, and after handing it over to the other party, he immediately opened the video and checked the contents, these two guys are indeed plotting against him, the conspiracy has reached the final stage, if he is defenseless, he will be defeated, disgraced, and even face accusations and claims, now that he has this information, who is dead and who lives is another matter.
Baker handed Michael a USB stick, and as he packed his things, he said, "There's surveillance here, and I don't want people to know I've been here." ”
Michael didn't want to, he checked the video on the USB stick on his laptop, and after confirming that there was no problem, he waved Baker to get out, and now Baker was of no use to him, and he was not the one who could make him get to the café in ten minutes.
Baker said, "A week, you only have a week. ”
Michael said, "I don't need you to teach me how to do it. He knew that the other party must have a share, and he also knew that it was impossible to let the other party hand it all over without making a backup, he didn't believe in the integrity of the other party, he only needed to fight for a week, and he had the evidence in his hands, and he had a lot of power, which was enough for him to eradicate the opponent, crush the coup d'état, and try to minimize the turmoil.
Warren Buffett, who is the chairman and chief executive officer of Disney and the only Michael figure in management, and Warren Buffett, with whom he has been friends for decades, said, "He's always been very calm, sensible, and reasonable, so he's good at using other people to get things done." He does not need an iron-fisted policy in management. ”
It is these gentle characteristics that make him get along well with the irritable and assertive Michael, because he will never object to Michael, so he becomes Michael's most satisfactory deputy, and it also means that he can replace Michael, but he does not have the strength to confront Michael head-on.
Michael Eisner, the figure who provoked the banner of Disney after the death of the old Disney, has been through ups and downs for 20 years, and has made great contributions to the glory of Disney, allowing Disney to develop into a media giant on its own, while the other eight giants of the same generation are either bankrupt or acquired, because of this, Michael has firmly established the role of the godfather in the Disney world. Who can compete with him? Who will dare to compete with him?
But because of long-term pressure and many dissatisfactions, under the guidance of Joey, the nephew of Walt Disney, the founder of Dituni, the forces opposing him began to merge and form a powerful force.
