Chapter 1501

Disney's board of directors needs to implement relevant resolutions on the second day of the general meeting of shareholders. Chairman George Mitchell manipulates the agenda and plans to submit Linton's suitability as vice chairman to the board of directors for discussion and voting.

The shareholder representatives only voted for Linton's re-election as a director, and the resolution did not involve his position as vice chairman, which was within the power of the board of directors.

"I don't understand. I've already shown my muscles. They still seem to make more money by fixing me. What's the mentality?"

Linton sent out soul torture on the night of the shareholders' meeting and the night before the board of directors.

According to the plan, tonight should be the time for him and song ya to start a new round of negotiations and transactions with all parties, but they haven't talked yet

Songya also wondered, "Goldman Sachs behind George Mitchell should not be so crazy..."

"I heard a rumor that the Georgians were worried about Paulson's public image and were not confident that they would hand over the position of Treasury Secretary to him with the full support of Wall Street," Linton said.

“……”

Poof! Song Ya was speechless, and then almost laughed. What's the public image? Is the wolf of Wall Street really that powerful?

So Paulson really hates himself?

Then George Mitchell's reaction makes sense

It's better if Paulson can't be the Treasury secretary. The threat to his business is greater than that of Goldman Sachs.

Regardless of the current difficulties, Songya suddenly felt a deep feeling in her heart and told you to deceive me! Didn't expect retribution!?

"I'll call Paulson myself."

Linton should have suspected that he had suffered from his own fish in the pond, but he would not pick out his words with his close allies, and Songya did not say anything, so he decided to take responsibility with action.

Besides, I haven't talked to Paulson for a long time. Hee hee

“APLUS。”

Paulson's tone was very calm when they talked for the first time after the quarrel.

"Mr. Paulson, I think we have common interests in Disney, don't we? We are all helping cassenberg return to Disney and recognize George Mitchell's contribution to the post of chairman this year."

Linton held the post of director and pulled up a vote of power that others can't despise in the senior management of Disney's branch. However, in important institutions such as Disney's board of directors and board of supervisors, Linton still has insufficient information. If he wants to further grasp the power after passing the customs, he must trade again.

In addition to the jobs Robert egger camp, Linton and Songya have cards to play, regardless of forces such as Roy Disney, Goldman Sachs, George Mitchell, Harvey and Eisner.

For Goldman Sachs, George Mitchell has served as the chairman. After this shareholders' meeting, they have added another seat on the Disney board of directors. If cassenberg can return with DreamWorks Animation, they will naturally be the first merit. Therefore, cassenberg must be closer to them in the future, except for the small defect that he failed to successfully drive Linton out of the board of directors, Disney's involvement in the civil war has been extremely rich. It's not too much to say that it is the biggest winner.

It's time to stop when things are good and focus on consolidating achievements.

"So you won't take your company away?"

But Paulson doesn't seem to intend to act purely driven by interests this time. The cunning old fox buried a hole in the first sentence.

"Ha ha, I haven't thought about it yet."

Songya laughed, "George Mitchell seems to have some misunderstanding with Linton. I think Linton doesn't mind fully cooperating with him in the position of vice chairman. Even if he can't let go of the small holidays before the two sides, his energy and physical strength can be regarded as vigorous, and the mere vice chairman can't hinder him."

The chairman has real power when he can be a director. It is easy to run the vice chairman into a decoration, as George Mitchell did before.

"I don't know the details of those... Those power struggles within Disney."

Paulson pretended: "sorry, aplus, I don't think I can help you."

"Ha ha, OK, it doesn't matter. I understand that you are the chairman of Goldman Sachs, who manages everything every day. I'm sorry to call to bother you with such a small matter," Song Ya said.

"Well, then... First?" Paulson wanted to hang up.

"That's it! Goodbye, Mr. chairman."

"OK, bye..."

"We keep in touch, Mr. chairman."

“……”

Paulson was disgusted by the billionaire on the other end of the phone. He put down the microphone and lay down in the boss's chair.

Goldman Sachs is dead, so we can only continue to press Eisner. Eisner just asked his people to take the initiative to withdraw from the board of directors, and failed to snipe Linton at the shareholders' meeting. His control over Disney's senior management also completely collapsed. It seems that the general trend is gone, but after all, the emperor has deep roots, and the relationship network created by the connection of interests for many years still makes him interested in Disney's board of supervisors The nomination committee, the audit committee, the Remuneration Committee and other important institutions have a lot of influence.

As long as we can get rid of Eisner and let the Disney family return, Roy Disney will support Linton. The old man is happy with the infighting of the "royalists". With Linton's strength shown at this shareholders' meeting, we can deal with either side.

But the old king is still the king. Songya held a teleconference with Linton and Sloan to determine the strategy. Then he took a deep breath and carefully picked up the microphone.

“APLUS。”

In fact, including Paulson, no one expected that the always rebellious black law old man would choose to try to make peace tonight. When Eisner, who went home to lick his wound alone, saw the lit caller number, his heart was filled with a burst of ecstasy and drama!

Wait, wait, wait, what's the matter with me? It's not the anger against me, nor the opportunity to retaliate for the direct offence that night

In order to keep my power, I was reduced to this

He immediately felt a deep sense of shame.

Anyway, he didn't get rid of Linton, who had publicly turned against himself. He knew that his prestige in Disney had been destroyed. Any straw could save his life!

Songya and Linton also have information gaps, such as the board of supervisors, the nomination committee, the audit committee, the Remuneration Committee... Those senior executives who still seem to be loyal to the emperor are only for the sake of interests, mainly hung by the annual high salary and equity incentive.

But in fact, any other party who enters the site now has the strength to continue to feed them, and the premise of equity incentive payment is to meet the stock price... Disney has experienced fierce internal strife for nearly two years, and the market value has been fluctuating repeatedly. Since equity incentive is out of the question.

His Majesty's opponents have made him lose the ability to lead Disney's share price to continue to rise, which is of little value to these people. Everyone is very practical.

"Mr. Eisner, I watched the live broadcast of today's shareholders' meeting..." Song Ya said.

"Really? Hehe, it's embarrassing. It's like a farce today." Eisner replied brazenly.

"Yes, George Mitchell is amazing. For the first time, I saw a chairman yelling dirty words at shareholders' representatives at the shareholders' meeting..."

In fact, this situation is not uncommon. Song Ya picked up what the other party liked and said to show kindness.

"Ha ha, George is seventy years old. He has nothing to worry about too much."

The two chatted as if nothing had happened before.

"Blake's Sahara will be painted next month. I promised to attend the premiere. What about you?" Songya played the emotion card.

"No, Blake doesn't like being photographed with me in his project."

Eisner's heart was sour. His eldest son was very artistic confident and taboo. He was thought that his personal success had something to do with his family background.

"Well, Mr. Eisner, what has happened in Disney has hurt everyone. I think it's time to stop, don't you think?" after talking about it for a while, Songya cut to the point.

"Of course, I also feel it's time." Eisner's face became dignified, put the receiver close to his ear, and didn't want to miss a word.

"The conditions Linton mentioned to you are still valid." Song Ya asked, "is that ok?"

How can this be! no way! Absolutely not!

Eisner was immediately disappointed.

Linton is nothing more than persuading himself to withdraw, let him inherit his influence in Disney, then let himself leave with dignity and give some high severance compensation, promise to take care of his shares in Disney, his old subordinates, the career of his three sons, retain a senior consulting job with salary status, and promise to leave some influence on himself.

None of them solves their ultimate desire: power.

"Aplus, believe me, Linton is still a little behind schedule. Two years, I'll take him for another two years. When George Mitchell leaves like Roy Disney at 72, I'll give everything to him and you, I swear," Eisner said.

The next day.

George Mitchell walked into the large conference room with a straight face. All the new and old directors were in place. "Let's start." he glanced at Linton, who was expressionless next to him, and sat down at the top of the long conference table with a golden knife. "Let's welcome... Mr. director first."

The new director of Goldman Sachs introduced by him stood up and accepted everyone's applause.

George Mitchell then read out the resolutions of yesterday's shareholders' meeting, and then let the board of directors pass and implement them according to the process.

"I'm not aiming at you, Linton. You've done a good job, but your affairs are too heavy. There are one stall of the copyright company and another stall of Bowei film. I need a deputy to better share my relevant work on the board of directors."

George Mitchell could not wait to discuss Linton's position as vice chairman. He asked hypocritically, "what do you think?"

"Thank you for your concern, chairman Mitchell. I'm still busy. Besides, you're energetic enough. As vice chairman, I only need to do some procedural paperwork."

Linton replied, "I can do it, thank you."

"I didn't say that. You also saw the attitude of the shareholder representatives yesterday. With 57% of the valid votes, you were almost passed the no confidence vote. As the chairman of the board, I also need to explain to you," George Mitchell said.

"I remember that as like as two peas in your last year's vote of no confidence in your re-election last year, I think it's the same as I did yesterday, Mr. chairman. If you use this reason, do you also need to...?" huh, and give you a hand? "Layton sneered at it.

"Ah!"

George Mitchell yelled impatiently, "then raise your hand and vote! Raise your hand if you agree to dismiss Linton as vice chairman!"

Eisner first raised his hand, exchanged eyes with Linton opposite, and then smiled at the other directors.

Yesterday, the talks with the black Pharaoh broke down again, and the other party refused to 'reduce the price'.

Linton put his hands into his pants pockets, leaned back and looked up at the sky.

Huh?

Robert egger didn't move? Eisner's eyelids jumped.

"Now is not the time?" another director questioned: "this personnel change is not expected by the market. What will be the reaction of the outside world? Stock price..."

"The stock price will come back!"

George Mitchell rudely interrupted, "it's not because some internal and external collusive aspirants deliberately suppress the market value of Disney. They play this trick for me before and after every shareholders' meeting! Get out if you want to go! We don't leave instability! Without a... That boy might be better!"

Including the new director of Goldman Sachs, some people began to raise their hands one after another.

“1、2、3……”

George Mitchell counted the votes himself, huh? Exactly half to half? "Oh..." he remembered that his hand had not been raised, and immediately raised it. "Well, the resolution is passed!" he smiled at Linton.

Linton still maintained his demeanor and shrugged indifferently.

However, this type of vote is dangerous enough. In addition to the Robert egger camp, several of his former subordinates did not raise their hands. Eisner felt the scrutiny of their bets. He knew that because the people who forced the former director to give up his seat to Goldman Sachs made them more cold, he had to put down his hands and rub the middle of his eyebrows to avoid looking at each other.

"Then I nominate Michael Eisner to take over."

George Mitchell also noticed the running tickets. He first gave Eisner a vague look of dissatisfaction, but the benefits agreed in advance were still to be given. While he spoke, he gave Robert egger and other people who didn't raise their hands a fierce stare and threatened revenge in the future.

"I nominate Mr. carsenberg," Linton said suddenly.

There was a sudden silence in the meeting room.

Robert egger, with a cold flash in his eyes, also looked at Linton.

Eisner reacted first and clenched his teeth secretly.

"WTF... Kasenberg? Kasenberg is not even one of us."

DreamWorks Animation hasn't come back yet. Even if it comes back, there is a certain probability that, like previous Pixar Animation, it only signs the release contract in Disney, and doesn't hold a position in the Disney Company at all, let alone a director. That's the case with jobs.

George Mitchell subconsciously laughed at Linton's nomination, but then reacted that our side also supported bringing cassenberg to Disney, including conditions such as a board of directors or even a higher position. It's not easy to say too much. When it comes to cassenberg, the old man reacted quickly and said: "When casenberg comes, please note to director Linton that today's meeting will only discuss the current problems of Disney."

"Kasenberg needs a position of enough respect, and we promised him."

I didn't expect Linton to say it directly. There is cooperation between the two camps in this matter, and no one can hide too much. "Anyway, the position of vice chairman is not very important. We just keep it for him, which can show our sincerity of Disney."

"Shut up, you, vote..." George Mitchell snapped impatiently. "Hands up for Eisner to take over as vice chairman!"

This time George Mitchell raised his hand early, and the ticket type was the same, but not more than half, because Robert egger didn't raise his hand. His people had raised their hand first, but observed that he didn't move and put his hand down again.

"Robert?" urged George Mitchell.

One side is to increase the hope of DreamWorks coming in, which is not conducive to their own LED plan to recover Pixar. The other side is to let Eisner regain some momentum after the shareholders' meeting drove away Linton's disastrous defeat. Many middle-level people in the company will only see these things on the surface. Eisner's getting the post of vice chairman will affect their choice, which is also good for himself and the other party on ABC TV The power struggle of the Internet was unfavorable, and Robert egger, who had not prepared in advance, fell into a long test.

"I've had enough of Eisner, and you've had enough of him?"

It's true. While observing Robert egger's reaction, Linton secretly wondered about Songya's insight last night. Songya said: "I think jobs and Robert egger are the same. For more than a year, the biggest problem facing both of us is that we have lost patience with his extreme balance in order to control power. If he doesn't leave Disney all day, we may all be placed at both ends of the seesaw as chess pieces... So he is the most urgent need to be solved, Without him, it may be more important to us than anything. He must leave. "

Sure enough, Robert egger shook his head slightly to his own people, but didn't raise his hand.

"Damn it! Let's continue to discuss this issue at the next board meeting!" George Mitchell had to curse reluctantly, "end! Break up!"

Linton was the first to get up and leave the meeting.

Eisner, with a gloomy face, finally left alone in the conference room.

"Roy Disney's campaign to save Disney once again expressed dissatisfaction with the resolutions of the general meeting of shareholders and the board of directors. They announced that they would continue to promote the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, and the goal was still to overthrow Eisner's cover up in Disney. Aplus also announced that it would join the plan, which greatly increased the probability of passing the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of Disney..."

That night, save Disney website updated this message.

"How Will Eisner react?" Linton was worried about Songya's decision. "We completely broke our face with him this time. It's a pity. I always felt that I could win him..."

"No, although Eisner and I broke down, business is business. I don't think it will affect his friendship with me..."

Songya hit the golf ball high and far, "Jobs, cassenberg and me, if he can only choose one of three in the end, he will still choose me, followed by jobs and finally cassenberg... He did a great job when he drove cassenberg away from Disney. He can't really place his hope on cassenberg's DreamWorks Animation, even though cassenberg is now expressing kindness to him in order to return And magnanimous, he knew that kasenberg's emotional artist character would not really have revenge. "

"I hope so." Linton smiled bitterly.

"Wait for a good play," Song Ya replied confidently.

After the strong participation of the black Pharaoh, the momentum of the save Disney website has become higher and higher. Although the jobs camp has also joined in a low-key way, and the members of the Disney board of supervisors have been bought off one after another, according to this trend, the threshold for convening an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders can be raised by the end of the year at the latest.

Eisner became more and more silent, like an ostrich with its head buried in the sand.

Time unknowingly entered April 2005, and he finally made a move.

"I know there are strong doubts about me now. I have served Disney for half my life. I love Disney very much, but I swear that I am not the legendary power lover..."

He said publicly: "Since everyone wants me to leave, I'll leave. For the future of Disney, I tend to agree with the plan of Robert egger, the company's chief operating officer. We need to retain Pixar Animation. I agree to launch the acquisition of Pixar Animation. Moreover, I think Mr. jobs is the best candidate for Disney's CEO. I sincerely invite him to join the Disney family and lead the public "Keep moving!"
