Chapter 1: The Ambitious Bastard

Knock! Knock!

"Please come in!"

Pushing open the door, Walter was in front of a kind middle-aged white man, who was reading the company report in his hand carefully, and the sign on the table that read "Director" showed the middle-aged man's rights and status in the company.

As Walter walked in, he observed the outfit of the office he had come to for the first time in his life, and looked behind the desk to see a wall calendar of classic Disney characters hanging on the wall behind the middle-aged man, with today's date as September 15, 1972.

"Good morning, Uncle Roy. ”

"Are you here?" Walter, sit down, have coffee or black tea?" The white man looked at Walter, a flash of love flashed in his eyes, nodded, put down the report in his hand, pointed to the sofa in the office and said with a smile.

"Black tea!" Walter replied unceremoniously, and then sat down on the couch. Roy is his cousin, and he has always been good to the illegitimate son of his family since he was a child, and the relationship between the two has always been very good, so he is not afraid of anything.

"Okay!" Uncle Roy answered, then picked up the company desk on the table and said a few words inside, but asked the secretary outside to bring some drinks.

Soon, as the blonde secretary in professional work clothes brought tea and coffee and left, Walter knew that the plan he had been preparing for a month was finally coming to fruition.

Sure enough, Uncle Roy took a sip of the steaming coffee, and then said, "Walter, your proposal is very thoughtful, but I can't agree to it? Even the board of directors would not agree to such a bold and radical expansion plan." ”

Can't agree with it!

Walter seemed to be hit by a bolt from the blue, his eyes widened, and his face was full of incredulity.

Why didn't he agree?

You must know that the plan you put forward is a development plan that you wrote based on the later development process of Disney, covering theme parks, movies, TV series, etc., in order to impress your uncle, who now has a lot of say in the board of directors, and let himself enter the company, but now Roy doesn't agree, isn't history a joke on him?

"Why? Is my plan bad?" After thinking for a long time, Walter, who didn't understand it, finally asked, not at all timid and afraid because of being vetoed by his elders.

Roy glanced at Walter, nodded appreciatively, and said, "No, the plan is too good, if you really do this, the company can indeed develop rapidly." ”

"Then why ......"

"Radical! Risky!Your planSome of these companies have tried before, and although they are not as detailed as yours, most of them are losing money. Even if I give these to the other directors on the board, they won't necessarily approve it, especially Miller, who is a staunch conservative on the corporate board, and certainly won't agree. ”

At this moment, Roy couldn't help but think of himself when he looked at Walter's current appearance, didn't he come through like this step by step at the grassroots level of the company in the first place? Even if he was one of the founders of the company, Roy Oliver Disney, the son of Roy Oliver Disney, and Walter Elias Disney, the nephew of Walter Elias Disney?

A risky and radical solution?

Walter was stunned at first, his face confused, but he was soon relieved.

Yes, he wrote this development plan is too much beyond the understanding of everyone in the company, who would have thought that although it can only dominate the traditional hand-drawn animation industry now, Walt Disney Productions, which has indeed lost too much money in other fields, will develop rapidly in the next ten years and eventually become a behemoth in the media and entertainment industry.

All of this is something that the current Walt Disney Productions company, from the board of directors to the average employee, could not have imagined. However, these things have really happened, and it can only be said that the future is only unthinkable, and nothing can be done.

Wait, why bother with Disney?

Because the reborn Fuquan is located at this time the headquarters of Walt Disney Productions in Burbank, of course, the current Disney has not changed its name to The Walt Disney Company. And the middle-aged man in front of Fu Quan at this moment is the director of Walt Disney Productions, whose full name is Roy Edward Disney - Roy Edward Disney, a rare member of the Disney family who works in the company.

"Well, Uncle Roy, my plan should ......"

"I'll keep it for now, and I'll need it later. ”

"In the future, is Uncle Roy going to carry it out?" asked Walter in surprise, because Uncle Roy said this, which only meant that he still recognized himself.

And Roy is now in the company with the death of his father Roy Sr., the internal power struggle continues to be turbulent, unable to control the company's top management, only to delay until he has more power, in the board of directors has greater decision-making power to implement Walter's grand blueprint for Disney's development.

"Hmm!"

Got Roy's serious and solemn nod, Walter felt a little relieved, although he didn't get the promise he wanted today, but at least he had gained the trust of his cousin, as long as Roy didn't regret it, then he could finally control Disney completely according to the plan in his heart as a family member.

Of course, Walter is not afraid that Roy will not be able to control the board of directors, because as one of the few members of the Disney family who works for Disney, and he is the son of Roy Oliver Disney, one of the founders of The Walt Disney Company, he was born with the aura of a protagonist who can enter the board of directors and even control the board.

In fact, Roy later did the same, becoming the main leader of the board. If it weren't for the fact that the Disney tyrant president played with the Disney board of directors, the Disney board of directors later became an ornament, and the Disney family did not have a single member of the board of directors later, otherwise Roy's achievements as the successor of the family business can be described as perfect.

"In that case, excuse me, Uncle Roy, I'm leaving. Knowing that now that there is no plan as a bargaining chip, the plan he is looking forward to is hopeless, and Walter does not force it, so he thinks of buying a potential stock to invest in, and plans to leave.

Who knows, Roy over there continued: "I didn't adopt the plan immediately, but I didn't say that I wouldn't let you join the company, I thought about it, tomorrow, you will go to the live-action film production department as an assistant director." ”

Walter almost fell on his foot just now, as if life had played a huge joke on him, you must know that he took that plan to find Uncle Roy to apply for a job to join the Disney company, but he went straight to the middle and senior management of the company, after all, he was also a member of the Disney family.

Now to an ordinary small cadre, or Disney's most inefficient live-action film department right now, doesn't it embarrass him?

I just wanted to refuse, but in the face of Uncle Roy's undeniable eyes, and finally with the purpose of not complaining about my future potential, Walter finally nodded and agreed.

Then he said goodbye to Roy and left happily, but he didn't know that it was Roy's position arranged for him at random today, which made the legendary life of a famous Hollywood media tycoon in the future.

Watching the figure in front of him slowly leave, Roy put away the grand blueprint on the table, opened the safe that was pressed on the bookcase and embedded in the wall, and put the pile of Disney development plans that were extremely important to him.

Thinking of Walter's expression just now, Roy couldn't help laughing at himself, what if he is ambitious, he wants to enter the company's top management through himself, he has no ability, and he is obviously not convinced by this pile of documents that no one knows if he can succeed, even if he is a member of the Disney family, not to mention that Walter you are just an illegitimate child.

If you have ambition but no strength, don't think about being on top, Disney is already messy enough, don't think about mixing up if you don't have strength......
