"The most obvious example is that in 1980 the annual revenue was $135 million, but in just three years, it fell to $93 million. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info That's not all, it's the most important thing is that this company, the company that is full of the hard work of our fathers, has lost the spark of creativity, and the studio, which was once second to none, has been relegated to the second tier in Hollywood, with only 4% of the box office!"

Sitting at the head of the long table of the meeting, the white man who was being targeted, had a cloudy face. The old man on his right looked solemn, as if he was thinking about something, while the younger man next to him looked very tidy.

As for the others, some watched the play quietly, some frowned, and some exchanged ears.

"And it's you, Ray, it's you," the bald middle-aged man pointed further to the one above, "Every decision you've made since you became chairman has caused Disney to slide into the abyss! You may be able to lead the animation department well, but you can't lead the whole of Disney!"

At this point, he waved his hand violently: "I now implore the board of directors to remove Miller from the chairmanship and select a suitable manager to fill the position." ”

However, when he was full of confidence, he raised his hand, only to find that there were very few people raising his hand at the same time.

Roy Disney was a little confused for a while, how could it be different from what he had said? He looked at the old man with a solemn look for help, Disney's major shareholder, or the current major shareholder Sid Whites, who shook his head slightly.

As for the second-largest shareholder, Gary Spader, who sat next to Whites and held it for an investment company, shrugged his shoulders.

"It's ...... What's going on, Mr. White!" Roy asked, somewhat deceitfully.

"I'll admit that Ray did make a lot of mistakes, but nowhere near as serious as you say, Roy, you shouldn't accuse him like that," Sid Whites shook his head and said, "Saul Steinberg, Erwin Jackberth, and the rest of us are now bent on buying Disney, and we shouldn't be fighting among ourselves at this time." ”

"But...... But......" Roy was a little dumbfounded, and then became a little annoyed, "but you ......"

"I've never promised anything, Roy," said Bai Si unhurriedly, "I have only said that I hope you will resolve the matter by the most peaceful means, and that I hope you will not bring personal conflicts into the affairs of the company." ”

“…… This is a betrayal!" Roy, whose face was extremely ugly, said such words, since it was all said for this part, he didn't care so much, "You betrayed Disney!"

"No, Mr. Disney," Gary Spade said, in a gentle voice, "we are saving Disney, and Mr. Miller has agreed to hire a professional manager to take charge of the company's operations." ”

"I haven't heard of it at all!" Roy reacted violently.

"Yes, Mr. Miller only recently agreed, and is planning to vote on the board today," Spade smiled, "but...... I'm sorry you're too anxious, Mr. Disney. ”

Roy Disney pursed his lips and looked at Ray Miller, who was sitting at the top of the room, but fell silent, apparently realizing that he had fallen into an elaborate trap.

"Alright, Roy, sit down. Miller made no secret of his victory, "There's a lot more to talk about today. ”

"I'm sorry, but I don't think I need to stay any longer. Roy was still a little temperamental, not at all procrastinating, and left the conference room immediately.

It's a pity that there is no one to stay, and even when I go out, I faintly hear a voice from inside: "Now, please vote, I will invite ......"

After returning to the animation department, Roy Disney chose to resign as soon as possible, even if many people kept him, he couldn't change his mind.

Roy knows very well that he lost this time, and he lost a mess, the other party is so deliberate, so that he can't receive a little rumor, but I'm afraid that he will never be able to return to Disney in the future.

The only thing that puzzled him was who he had lost to? Ray Miller, that idiot would never have been able to do this, Sid Blass had obviously been moved by his own words, and Gary Spade was still a newcomer, and he had only been on the board for a short time, and he had been following White.

But Roy can be sure that Miller will definitely not stay in that position for long, even if he hires a manager to run the operation. The other party is hiding behind the scenes, spending so much time and energy, and definitely doesn't just want such a little thing, and Miller is also not a person who is willing to let go of power, so ......

"Idiot!" Roy scolded, and so did it.

Miller's life or death, Disney's life or death, has nothing to do with him, in the final analysis, he just wants power. Maybe after being kicked out of Disney and living peacefully for more than ten years, he may miss the hardships and honors that the name Disney represents, but definitely not now.

"Here, please, sir. Led by the attendant, Sid Purs soon came to the hall and met Gary Spade, who had been waiting there.

"Welcome, Mr. White. After shaking his hand, Spade made a gesture of please, "Mr. Lee is here." ”

"Okay. Bai Si nodded reservedly and followed him inside, greeting familiar people who came to the reception along the way.

After passing through the crowd and coming to a few sofas, before Spade could speak, Li Xu, who was originally talking and laughing, stood up and stretched out his hand with a smile: "I'm so glad to see you, Mr. Baisi." ”

"Me too, Mr. Xiao Li, it's not easy to see you. Bai Si quipped.

"I'm really sorry, but I am currently following my family's tradition to go to the Far East to hone myself, and I don't have a lot of time to return to the United States. Li Xu opened his eyes and said nonsense, "So I have to take advantage of my father's drinking party to ask you to come and talk about it." ”

After another polite gesture, the two sides sat down again, and then Li Xu introduced his friend: "This is Adam, Adam Pritzker, my best friend, just graduated from Stanford this year, I have always wanted to persuade him to come over to help me, but unfortunately he must go back to his home." ”

Adam straightened his clothes, smiled reservedly, modestly, and shook White's hand, as for the other one......

"I don't need to introduce this one much," Li Xu pointed to the middle-aged man in his early forties on the other side with a slightly bald forehead, "You and Mike have talked many times, so you should know him very well." ”

"Yes, Mike has a lot of ideas that coincide with mine," Bai Si nodded to the middle-aged man, "Disney's development of itself is still too superficial, and the expansion is not strong enough. ”

"I'm sure Disney will get out of this mess if there's a great leader," says Michael Eisner, "and I've talked to Mr. Miller a few times, and he's made good on his promise that I'll be able to stop Disney in two years at most......

Li Xu watched them talk without moving, and occasionally interjected two sentences, Spade was completely here to listen, and as for Adam, he completely turned into a little brother and beckoned the waiter to bring a few glasses of champagne.

After some exchange, Bai Si and Eisner looked satisfied, and then Eisner got up with a very good look and said goodbye temporarily.

"You know, Edward, Miller wasn't someone who would let go of power. After watching the ambitious middle-aged man leave, Bai Sicai said this to Li Xu again, and then glanced at Adam.

"Of course, we said yes. Li Xu didn't care.

"It's really a change in the world. Bai Si sighed.

"There is no eternity in royal power, and any family will have a day of decline. Li Xu smiled slightly.

"I hope you remember what you promised me, Edward. Bai Si said again.

"Of course, Disney will just be Disney, without a prefix. Li Xu nodded again.

"Well, my old man has something to say to Walter," Bai Si stood up, "and if I don't mind, I'll go somewhere else first." ”

"Feel free. Li Xu then stood up and made a gesture of please.

When the old fellow was gone, he said to Spade again: "Let Mike move a little bigger, force Ray Miller to act sooner, and better get him out of office within two months." Since you've done it all, let's do it low, the sooner the better, and don't worry about it so much. ”

"Yes, Mr. Lee. Spade nodded in response.

"The vice chairman of the board of directors can be left to Bai Si, but the executive director must get it," Li Xu paused when he said here, "Bai Si doesn't have that much energy, so sooner or later the vice chairman will also be yours." ”

"I understand, Mr. Lee. Spade nodded again.

"In addition, I am optimistic about Eisner, although I am not interested in controlling Disney, it does not mean that I will like to see uncontrolled situations appear," Li Xu said, "Eisner is capable enough, Katzenberg also agreed to come to Disney, and I also found a candidate who can partner with him, but he likes to be dictatorial a lot of times, and when he is with Barry Diller, he is okay, and he has been in power alone for a long time, and he will inevitably become arrogant." ”

"We can ......," Spade wanted to say.

"At least not yet. Li Xu, who knew what he meant, interrupted, "If he is restrained from the beginning, he will not be able to give full play to his ability, and there will be no way to bring Disney up, so he can only support it at this time." ”

What Mr. Lee means ...... Ten years from now?" asked Spade after a moment's thought.

"Not necessarily, maybe twenty years from now. Li Xu shrugged, "In short, don't let your guard down." ”

"I see. Spade thought for a moment, then got up to take his leave.

"How is it, Adam, did I look very dignified just now?" Li Xu then turned to Adam Pritzker and asked in a teasing tone.

However, Adam did not laugh, and sighed sullenly before saying, "I didn't think it before, but now...... I only found that the gap between us was getting wider and wider, and there was no possibility of even catching up. ”

Li Xu couldn't help laughing, and then pointed to the crowd in the hall: "Let me ask you, are they here because of me, or because of my father?"
