Chapter 217

"Ha ha... It seems that Mr. owitz has tasted all kinds of tastes. What do you think will happen next?" Seeing Michael owitz's face, Li Feng asked again.

After seeing Michael owitz this time, Li Feng was ready to completely destroy his pride. After all, it didn't take long for him to accept Disney. Even if his regret should not be as strong as later, Li Feng was ready to completely tear off his last fig leaf.

"Mr. Li, you don't see me just to humiliate me."

"Of course not. I just want to have a good chat and discussion with Mr. owitz, but I think it will be more comfortable if I can get rid of the last chance in Mr. owitz's heart before talking.

In fact, in my opinion, when Mr. owitz left CAA to join Disney, your ending has been doomed. If you are finally kicked out by Disney without accident, you will not be able to gain a foothold in Hollywood.

Everyone knows what Michael owitz means to Hollywood. Hollywood media giants will not let you make a comeback. CAA may welcome you back, but when you go back to CAA, the CAA at that time will not be your owitz's CAA. "

With Li Feng's narration, owitz's face was getting darker and darker, while Barry Diller almost jumped up to stop Li Feng from talking.

……

"Mr. owitz, I should be able to guess the problems you are facing now. When you were in CAA, you were opposed to these media giants. I think you should have dealt with these executives.

You think, if you yourself, you can accept such an airborne enemy. Anyway, if I were you, I guess I would be unhappy. Even if I didn't express my opposition, I could make a trip when I did something. "

Hearing Li Feng's words, Michael owitz sighed again.

"It's two different things to manage a media group and a brokerage company. In addition, although I haven't worked with Eisner, people have a lot to say in Disney. Even those shareholders of Disney can't help it.

Such a strong chairman is not a good boss for people like you, Michael. Maybe you had a good friendship, but when you have not worked together and have no direct power struggle, when you have worked together for a long time, contradictions will appear. As for the outcome is predictable, do you think I'm reasonable? " Li Feng asked him with a smile.

"That's true. I thought too simply and hastily before. Since the end of last year, I have been busy communicating with these executives for several months and trying to adjust the problems between them. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have much effect at present.

And I had an exchange with Eisner. Unfortunately, I didn't get more support from him and the board of directors. "

……

"Yes, that's what I expected. If you leave Disney, there will be no more than two places to go. One is to go back to CAA. However, the 'Young Turks' in CAA are not ordinary. They have completed their succession well. At present, it seems that they are more moderate than before, and their business strategy is more popular with Hollywood giants.

The second is that you start your own business again, but you will have to face the competition of the company you once founded. You should be very clear about the situation in CAA company. In fact, the outcome of such competition can be predicted, and you will still fail. "

For Li Feng's two points, Michael owitz is also very clear that CAA was founded by himself after all. He knows all the rules and the betrayal cost is very high. Under such circumstances, it is basically impossible to poach CAA, and the most important resource of the brokerage company is the top star. Without such resources, it is not easy to gain a foothold in Hollywood.

"Mr. Li, according to you, that is to say, my ending is doomed. Maybe next year I will be kicked out by Disney and disappear in Hollywood." Michael owitz interrupted Li Feng and then concluded with a black face.

"If there is no accident, it is indeed the end." Li Feng replied with a smile.

After listening to Li Feng's words, there was a silence at the scene. Everyone thought silently in their hearts. They felt that Michael owitz's ending was really like what his boss said. They all had different thoughts and sighs.

……

"There was no accident, Mr. Li. Do you mean there was an accident?" Owitz listened to Li Feng's words, then naturally heard Li Feng's words, and then asked back.

"Yes, originally I didn't want to get involved in the brokerage business, but last time Barry proposed to me to acquire CAA. He thought that CAA had just experienced management succession, which was an opportunity.

But after I have a detailed understanding of the current situation of CAA, I think it is very unlikely that CAA will be bought. Now, CAA has been clear for several months now. Keeping the essence of orwitz's management, the management is more smooth now.

Although the final result is actually the same as owitz, it's a pity that at least it's more lubricated in attitude. It has been favored and recognized again by Hollywood giants. Naturally, we missed the opportunity.

If owitz said that he wanted to leave CAA and transfer the shares, we would accept the shares directly. That would be the best opportunity. Unfortunately... "

After listening to Li Feng's words, everyone couldn't help nodding. It was obvious that they recognized the analysis.

"In fact, I don't quite understand. Owitz, do you solve my doubts? I don't understand why you suddenly decided to leave CAA.

There is a saying in China that "I'd rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail". For a simple example, I'd rather be the boss of a small company than work in a large company. "

……

"It's also strange that I'm dizzy. First, I've been a brokerage company for 20 years, and the brokerage company has reached the top in Hollywood. I want to try a new breakthrough.

Second, with the departure of Meyer and others, none of the five people who founded CAA together are now in CAA.

The third point is that we have handled some huge capital acquisition cases before. To be honest, CAA can do hundreds of millions of business a year at most.

For the acquisition of billions of businesses before, I found that my CAA could not be achieved in any way. If I hadn't been an intermediary, I might not have such a transaction experience of billions or even tens of billions in my life.

As a result, you know the situation. " Michael owitz shrugged helplessly.

Li Feng knows what owitz said about several billions of acquisitions. One is Sony's 3.4 billion acquisition of Columbia film company in 1989, the other is Panasonic's 6.5 billion acquisition of MCA in 1990, and finally MCA was resold to sigram again in 1995.

It has to be said that Michael owitz did a great job in these transactions. No wonder Michael owitz was rated as the "first person in Hollywood power list" for three consecutive years in those years.
