Chapter 1500

That's still the problem. If you want to succeed, you must create public opinion in advance in order to maximize the impact on the choices of minority shareholders. Linton has helped operate under the command of his majesty for too long. He can't keep his director's re-election crisis in the dark.

Linton was angry.

He noticed that the Eisner Goldman Sachs camp started a little late and could only take remedial action immediately. He had no idea how effective it was.

Everyone has no bottom.

When Pixar still has the possibility to stay, Robert egger is the key person everyone should coax, but the game is like this. When Pixar really and resolutely doesn't look back, what can others do in addition to accepting?

Robert egger was angry or disillusioned when he found that other parties might reach a compromise before and after the shareholders' meeting, and the compromise deal probably didn't have their own share. The image of Steve Jobs's allies has been fixed and will not change because of how much he cares about the overall situation or appeals to Eisner in this year. When DreamWorks Animation and cassenberg return like lightning, what future will he have in Disney?

Therefore, once he changed his image of focusing on the overall situation, he suddenly became radical, wantonly talked about buying at a premium, and even did not hesitate to launch a hostile takeover to resolutely keep Pixar. As coo, the statement is in stark contrast to Disney's chairman and CEO who have begun to welcome DreamWorks Animation in order to stabilize people's hearts. He is tantamount to a blatant rebellion.

The turn of the boss of ABC department made Michael Eisner's own public opinion influence collapse in an instant, which is now the second largest TV network in the whole meter

Even George Mitchell, in his capacity as a former Senate majority leader, has a louder voice than him, "well, Robert egger is also anxious... Michael, you are the CEO. Is the current chaos of ABC only short-term? Can you handle it?"

George Mitchell walked around in front of him and asked, "don't tell me you promoted Robert to coo. You didn't think about leaving ABC in advance!"

"Of course I do."

It is his absolute strength to exercise power and balance the forces of his subordinates. Eisner replied quietly.

"Then hurry up!" George Mitchell's chairman looked very good.

Eisner stopped talking and began to meditate.

Indeed, I took the opportunity to install many of my own people on ABC TV network after I promoted Robert egger to coo. However, since last year's shareholders' meeting, Robert egger has not followed Jobs's baton and performed very satisfactorily, so he is not good at doing too much to his allies, and Robert egger's of ABC system has been greatly restored.

Those middle-level personnel of ABC TV network do not necessarily understand the whole picture of Disney's senior struggle. Many of them choose to habitually follow Robert egger at this time, which does not mean that they intend to join the rebellion.

"What are you hesitating about?! our mouths are zipped up by Roberta!"

The opinion polls of the Georgians are getting lower and lower day by day. When their second term of office ends in 2008, George Mitchell, who hopes for the general election, undoubtedly can't accept being abandoned by his own media. He roared: "Linton is better than us. He m-fxxk can also show up on the ACN station of aplus and accept an exclusive interview with chief reporter Stephanie. He was flattered by Jones turt on the talk show! Joan Stewart is very popular now! The influence of public opinion is not small!"

"You don't understand."

In terms of the art of company management, Eisner infinitely despises the former Senate majority leader in front of him. If he bypasses the high-level and begins to infiltrate the struggle, the middle-level of those companies may not be able to do anything in order to figure out what they want. "It's a Pandora's box..." he said.

"I don't care what magic box, open it now!"

George Mitchell urged impatiently, "we are all being ignored by Robert egger and Linton! It can't be worse than now!"

"Hey! Ok..."

The other party was really right about this, and Eisner sighed and agreed.

The two men were still energetic, and soon passed Robert egger and directly contacted and commanded the middle-level of ABC TV network. The middle-level managers chose the side station based on their personal judgment.

Disney's internal power speculation drama began, and the world was in chaos

"In the magic Fate Trailer Released by ABC yesterday, the opening time of the film was wrongly placed in the summer file, and the date was corrected under our protest."

Magic fate is a real-life fairy tale film of family fun type. It was originally scheduled to be released in the Christmas file. The opening of the summer file came from a plan that was killed in the early stage of a project. The president of touchstone film complained to Linton and Songya: "someone definitely did it deliberately. This behavior will have a certain negative impact on the box office of magic fate."

"They also broadcast the gossip about you visiting Amy on the set," Linton said with a frown.

Linton omitted the second half of the sentence and kept emphasizing that the white fairy tale princess's real black boyfriend would not help the box office.

"They began to harm others and not themselves, and more and more crossed the line." Songya was the most calm and asked, "Eisner? Or Robert egger?"

"It should be the party loyal to Eisner..."

Linton said: "he fought more fiercely with Robert egger. Now, on whether to continue to retain Pixar Animation, the caliber of different channels of ABC and even different columns of the same channel are inconsistent."

“APLUS……”

"Now we have the basis to talk peace with Robert egger. I think if the two sides can turn to work together, Linton will have a greater chance of passing the shareholders' meeting," said the executive vice president of Bowe pictures

"Also, up to now, maybe you can help us win Oprah over. After all, you belong to the same ethnic group. Oprah's talk show and book club have a great influence on ABC TV network."

A middle-level member loyal to Linton in ABC TV network suggested: "I know you two had a feud, but she is now waiting for a price. This is also a good opportunity to repair the relationship."

"But we have settled with carsenberg of DreamWorks."

Songya also omitted the second half of the sentence. He didn't want to break the oral alliance just reached with casenberg, let alone repair the relationship with Oprah and others.

"But as long as kasenberg doesn't come back for a day, it won't help Linton's re-election as a director."

The president of touchstone film advised.

"Robert egger has thrown an olive branch to us. I think this is also what you like to see? Aplus, haven't you already maintained a tacit understanding with jobs behind him?" added the vice president of Bowei film.

The people of these live action movies are pinning their hopes on Linton. They don't want to take any risk that Linton will be killed as the board of directors and vice chairman.

Linton himself looked at it with implicit hope.

"I don't want to."

When Songya found an excuse to leave, he privately threw out the bottom line with Linton, "we have to take this risk, don't you think?"

"Well, I trust your judgment," Linton nodded in agreement.

"He is different from us, Linton. Now he has won Warner records, and a + entertainment has gradually stopped investing in blockbusters. If you want to go, you can leave smartly at any time by paying a sum of money. But none of us here can..."

"Aplus can ignore Oprah for the sake of face, but we can't. the chaos of ABC system gives us a great opportunity to step in and expand our power. Eisner doesn't hesitate to take the initiative to provoke a middle-level war, which shows that his control is further weakened. He can't press us and Robert egger at the same time. Our current situation is improving. Why not strike while the iron is hot?"

"The shares in aplus have voting rights this year. Has he increased his holdings?"

"I don't think so."

"He won't sell it?"

"I don't know..."

After Linton returned, the live action movie Gang continued to persuade him to make peace with Robert egger. Their careers are all in Disney and really can't always be 100% consistent with Songya's interests.

"How would Linton choose?"

Songya informed Sloan of the latest development of the incident. Sloan replied, "there are cracks in our cooperative relationship with him, right?"

"Well, anyway, it's up to him now."

Song Ya replied, "I hope he can withstand the pressure and don't let me down..."

"No, the ultimate problem now is: no matter how we cooperate, Robert egger and I will face a problem of insufficient interests in the final stage..."

After hesitating in every way, Linton finally made a gratifying choice. He said to the live action film Gang gathered under his banner: "George Mitchell, supported by Goldman Sachs, cannot be ousted for the time being. Robert and I hope to replace Eisner. He won't be unaware of this. The same is true of me. A short alliance is beneficial to me and him. It looks like a win-win situation, but it's also a long-term risk for us to sit and watch his power continue to expand."

"What about the re-election of directors?" asked Bo Wei, executive vice president.

"Robert egger returned to the card table by showing his personal energy, and if I have to try my best to grasp those so-called life-saving straws to get through this level, how can I convince everyone that I deserve this table?" Linton said to himself.

"Yes, we have enjoyed many years of cooperation with a + records, metropolis records and a + entertainment. Disney can't see any reason to give up these. I warn you again: if we lose a + records and metropolis records, Disney Records will no longer be able to gain a foothold in the first-line record distribution industry..."

Linton then asked ABC's financial channel to re edit the exclusive interview clip made by ACN's chief reporter Stephanie for him, "This is far more terrible than losing Pixar. Without Pixar, we still have the option of DreamWorks Animation. With the difficult environment of the record industry and the loss of star studded metropolis records, Disney Records will immediately face huge losses... Yes, I am confident to keep aplus. I know he bought Warner records, but there is a saying that we can't put eggs in one basket Son, I believe aplus will make the right choice. "

"Toy story, underwater story... All the sequel plans of these popular animated films will disappear with Pixar's departure, which is an unbearable burden for our Walt Disney animation, Disneyland and surrounding industries. I have great respect for Mr. jobs. Maybe you are more familiar with his identity as the founder and leader of the great apple company, but You may not know that he is also the owner of Pixar, a great 3D animation company. Disney can't lose Pixar... Therefore, I strongly recommend that Disney keep him, even in a way that may offend him. "

Robert egger controls most of the good resources of ABC station. He continues to hype that Disney must keep Pixar even if it does not hesitate to launch a hostile takeover. As for the counterattack means that did not get the expected response from the Linton camp, he reiterated: "The record industry is experiencing a long-term market contraction. No research can prove that it will improve in the short term. There is no reason for the excess profits of a + Series record labels to maintain the anti industry law for a long time. If aplus wants to break the contract and leave, let him leave. At least we can get a large break-up fee from him, which is a good opportunity similar to selling at a high point, More abundant Disney cash flow can also better resist risks. "

"We must unite, we must!"

Eisner played a thief and shouted to catch a thief, "I would like to warn some aspirants within Disney that any confusion you deliberately create can not be concealed from the eyes of the company's shareholders. I believe that at this shareholders' meeting, investors will make the right choice! Only unity can our market value recover! Everything else! Whoever goes or stays can not change Disney's stable profit expectation. Our economy in last fiscal year The operating income and profits are still growing. We have just paid a higher dividend than last year, with a growth rate of more than ten percentage points... "

The only thing that doesn't fit the painting style is Harvey Weinstein. He is only a small role in this game. He has been jumping up and down, making all kinds of high-profile comments. Today he despises Pixar Animation and tomorrow he despises metropolis records, insisting that Disney must be handed over to people who understand video art, that is, himself.

He has New York talk magazine and other media in his hand, as well as many senior friends of the donkey party. No one can stop him from speaking in the field of public opinion.

In early March 2005, the Disney shareholders' meeting, which was delayed for several days compared with the same period last year, was held in chaos.

"Quiet! Quiet!"

The person who presided over the meeting became the new chairman George Mitchell. The old man was very dissatisfied with the scene of the out of control meeting, rolled up the documents in his hand into a barrel and kept beating the table.

Last year, those shareholders who raised the anti Eisner placard appeared again. This year, there are many more who ask Disney to retain Pixar Animation at all costs and a + record system at all costs. The three groups of people shouted and quarreled according to one side.

"It's like a zoo. It's more chaotic than the house of Representatives..."

The former Senate majority leader was not as authoritative as Eisner in Disney. He had no choice but to cover his microphone and curse in a low voice after maintaining order for a long time.

Fortunately, Eisner chose not to show up this year, and most shareholder representatives did not know much about the new chairman. His anger did not spread to him. When he began to read the agenda, he gradually calmed down.

"We must unite! OK?"

George Mitchell's style of dealing with the cross examination of shareholder representatives is also completely different. His impatient and rude old white man official voice has played a wonderful positive effect in the current chaotic situation, which Eisner can't do, "What bullshit Pixar, DreamWorks, metropolis, whether they go or stay... So what? Me! We! Yes! Disney! Who's gone? They don't want to leave here..."

"Of course I know that Jobs announced that he would stop cooperation with us after the summer auto story, but didn't we find DreamWorks again? Casenberg is a Disney veteran. I welcome him back, that's all!"

"Shut up, you! I once led the American people to unite and overthrow the CCCP! What is the difficulty at present?! as long as there is no problem within us, no one can beat us... Goddamnit! Of course I mean Disney!"

In 1991, when he was the leader of the majority party in the Senate, as a veteran of the Senate, he could not be mistaken for taking this credit. The old man sounded like a flood of bells, and he was in a mess and getting better, "Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu

"Ha ha ha!"

But after he finished imposing pressure and extreme humiliation on a shareholder representative suspected of Songya's trust, Paulson, who had returned to Manhattan, laughed and raised his wrist to look at the time, "it's time to vote."

"It's time to vote..."

Jobs also walked away from the TV with his men and hands, followed by a "half-time break".

"Huh?"

At the magic Wonderland set, Amy knelt on the sofa with her eyes like silk and gently lifted the hem of the complicated princess dress, but waited and waited until her boyfriend gave a response. She turned her head and found that her boyfriend was staring at the TV intently and didn't even look back.

"Hum!"

When the play was shown to the blind man, Amy's mouth immediately tooted.

Unfortunately, it is still invalid.

"I regret to announce that... The director will no longer seek re-election due to physical reasons, and Disney's board of directors nominated... To replace him."

Returning to the meeting, George Mitchell read against the document: "OK, you can vote."

This seat was replaced by Goldman Sachs from Eisner's people. I don't know what method they used to let Eisner's people withdraw voluntarily before voting.

Neither Linton nor Robert egger went today. They both stayed in their office quietly waiting for the results, and declined all visits at the same time.

"OK, the nomination is passed!"

The nomination received 75% of the valid votes, and George Mitchell was happy to announce the results.

"Hiss..."

Under the heavy pressure, Linton took a deep breath of depression. According to this ratio, it is certain that Roy Disney, jobs, Robert egger and other parties chose to follow Goldman Sachs temporarily in order to achieve the goal of weakening Eisner. Most institutions and minority shareholders also have no opinions on the introduction of Goldman Sachs by Disney's board of directors.

Even if some of them vote with their noses.

"Ring..." the landline suddenly rang, and Linton immediately picked up the microphone to answer.

"Linton, it's still time to trade." Eisner's voice came from there. "We've worked together for so many years, isn't it not as strong as your friendship with aplus?"

"No, no, mylord."

Linton naturally moved, but he couldn't believe each other. Eisner's reputation has been zero in him.

Before, Robert egger didn't even answer the olive branch. At this point, he is even more unlikely to compromise. He can guess the conditions that Eisner may mention. He must be separated from aplus. He used a special title to send the former Lord on the other end of the phone.

“OK。”

Eisner wanted to say something cruel like 'you'll regret it', but his mind suddenly flashed back to the cold eyes of the black Pharaoh after he sat on his throne that night a year ago, but he finally didn't announce it to his mouth.

"The following is the re-election vote of Linton, vice chairman of the company. Please use your voting rights carefully..."

George Mitchell said sadly: "it's a very important seat. Remember my previous sentence? Unity. We Disney don't need any ambitious person who undermines the unity and stability of the company."

"Yeah!"

They also had many supporters on the scene, and the delegates suddenly heard a huge roar of subharmony.

Linton suddenly felt that the office light was very dazzling. He simply turned off all the luminous objects except the TV.

In the other office, Robert egger even turned off all the objects that could make sound, such as radio and television, to isolate all the external disturbances.

The vote counting process is a little too long in the eyes of all concerned. Whether in Los Angeles, New York or silicon valley, the bosses hold their breath and wait silently.

George Mitchell scratched his scalp on the podium alone.

Eisner, like jobs, picked up his hand and walked around the office. At the same time, he glanced at the Weinstein brothers who had just suddenly visited and stayed in his office.

Song Ya's two sword eyebrows also twisted deeply.

A ticket counter was finally sent to George Mitchell.

George Mitchell glanced at the paper, his face twisted instantly, and made no secret of his inner irritability and disgust.

Linton and Songya's eyebrows relaxed, while jobs and Paulson's eyebrows tightened.

"Vice chairman Linton got all the valid votes..."

Linton got up and strode slowly to the office door. The contact sound of leather shoes and the floor echoed clearly in the office.

"Fifty seven percent, the motion for re-election was passed..."

George Mitchell stood up to read out the results, turned his back to the camera, raised his head and made a 'damn' swearing.

"Da!"

Linton opened the door and smiled at the members of the live action film gang who were nervous and waiting for news outside.

"Congratulations, Mr. Linton." everyone expressed their congratulations respectfully.

"I see." Robert egger put down the landline microphone, shook his head and sighed deeply.

Eisner, on the other hand, seemed to be ten years old in an instant. He ignored him and shouted, "it's impossible! It's impossible! Who got the ticket? Jewish pension fund? I said I saw Linton that day and went too! " Harvey, who was quarrelling, put his hand on his forehead in pain.

"Hoo! What a thrilling m-fxxk..."

Song Ya make complaints about TV tucking, "huh? Amy? Amy! Where did you run?"
