Chapter 1485

"We will support the separation of the positions of chairman and CEO at tomorrow's shareholders' meeting..."

After the closing, some Disney shareholders jumped out to echo Goldman Sachs' suggestions. At this time, the old white man talking in front of the camera is the manager of the California Civil Service Pension Fund. This rarely publicly stated but influential organization has spoken, which basically means that the general trend has been set.

The old white man used to seem to be a staunch supporter of Eisner. He used to be called a nest of snakes and mice, but the market value of Disney fell 30% in 10 trading days, 16 or 7 billion... No matter how good a friendship is.

Moreover, Goldman Sachs chairman Paulson may have used the means behind the scenes, and there is not enough time to figure it out.

Since there is no agenda to discuss the separation of chairman and CEO positions at tomorrow's shareholders' meeting, it means that shareholders will express their anger by collectively rejecting Eisner's re-election as chairman and CEO, that is, the significance of no confidence vote is basically equal to the impeachment of the two houses after the outbreak of the scandal of the former commander-in-chief.

Although our money went in, it was bought after the registration date of the shareholders' meeting, so it can't help at the meeting tomorrow.

The atmosphere of a + copyright and asset management company and the New Jersey board of directors was too much. The group gathered and sat down and finally stopped.

At this time, someone handed over a document. Eisner took it in his hand and looked at it casually. The data showed that the total shareholding of all shareholders' representatives attending the meeting today was as high as 52% of Disney's total share capital. This proportion was very amazing, which also represented that almost everyone wanted to see change today.

"Cough! Ladies and gentlemen..."

I don't know how many times I have presided over the general meeting of shareholders. As soon as the time comes, Eisner will skillfully clear his throat. Yesterday, after seeing the manager of the California Civil Service Pension Fund jump out and speak publicly, he cut off all external contacts. He knew that the probability of dramatic reversal by means of passionate speech did not exist today.

He shut himself in the room, licked his wounds alone, focused on thinking, and had a good rest all night. Anyway, keep your dignity today, and then

In fact, what's the big deal of being voted no confidence? After all, the general meeting of shareholders can not replace the board of directors, and mastering the board of directors is different from truly mastering the management power of the company. He knows all the ways of senior managers.

No matter how difficult the situation is, there is always a way.

"I'm glad to see that last year, the total financial revenue of the company was 27 billion yuan and the net profit was 126.7 billion yuan..."

He first reported the good news, "our film business and ESPN sports continue to provide record performance growth... Our record distribution business is the best performing company of its kind."

"Our debt scale is also very healthy. We have reason to believe that it will be reflected in the stock price soon..."

The leaders in the venue and watching the live broadcast all over the meter listened quietly to his various hints that Disney's market value was more than the current price. As for the focus of too much power on him, he didn't mention a word or can't mention it.

But after all, after one boring agenda after another, the vote for his re-election as chairman and CEO will begin.

"Mr. chairman, before you vote for re-election, I would like to recall the late Mr. Frank wells with you. When you and frank came to Disney in 1984, I remember calling you" fire captain "in the media at that time, because the market value of Disney was less than $2 billion at that time, and you did. Now Disney has a market value of tens of billions, right A great integrated media company... On behalf of all shareholders, I pay tribute to you and the late Frank wells. "

An old white male representative flattered and led the audience to applaud.

"Thank you, thank you..."

Eisner squeezed out a sad smile and seemed to be remembering his old partner Frank wells who died in the plane crash, but he knew in his heart that things were not so simple. The representative didn't arrange it himself, and in order to help himself, there was no need to mention someone who left ten years ago.

Sure enough, the old white man's representative changed the subject, "but after Frank left us in 1994, all shareholders, I think at least most shareholders accompanying Disney can feel that you are becoming more and more arbitrary."

Eisner felt that his restless heart began to beat faster in his chest. He glanced at his men in charge of questioning.

"I still remember that in the past, we always called Frank 'good Frank'. I also know that some people in Disney joked that Frank was' Eisner's Brake '. He would always correct your mistakes in time and appease the senior managers or partners offended by you. After Frank left us unexpectedly, you drove away kasenberg and kasenberg in ten years To participate in the creation of DreamWorks and personally build the animation department of DreamWorks into a brand-new first-line animation film company from behind... "

"Please pay attention to the question time." the man chimed in.

"OK, I'll finish right away. Then your friend owitz. I agree that owitz has hardly done a good thing in Disney, but after his short Disney career, all shareholders paid hundreds of millions of meters for his severance..."

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

His Majesty's true supporters began to clamor behind.

"What I want to say is: Mr. chairman, we respect you, but we also believe that we must put a new bridle on your personal power in Disney. Disney needs a new 'brake', such as Mr. Robert egger, chief operating officer. We all agree that his working style, personality and character are very similar to Frank wells... And he is the only one who has hope to Pixar Animation is the one who stays at Disney. "

"Yes! Yes!" coaxed another group.

"That's why I promoted Robert to coo. I like him better than you."

Okay, I see. Eisner took over the conversation calmly with a smile, "After Disney acquired ABC TV network, I became a good friend with him. Although ABC TV network has always been an unstable factor in our financial balance, I agree that he has done very well in every work entrusted to Robert. Every leader of a multinational company needs careful training. I promise that I have provided everything to Robert over the years What can help is guidance. I believe that if he is the pair of brakes, when he is placed in the right place, he will play the role you expect, and he can do it. "

"This old fox!" one of jobs's men who watched the live broadcast scolded angrily.

"It's no use. It all depends on the vote, and the vote has been decided," Larry Ellison said.

"Vote after the break."

After a real "Tuo" helped play the side drum, Eisner announced a temporary rest.

Jobs took out his cell phone and waited. Sure enough, he waited for Eisner's call, "Michael."

"Steve, if I don't choose Robert egger as CEO, will you renew your contract?" Eisner went straight to the point.

"No." the final negotiation, jobs was resolute.

"Where can you go? Pixar and Disney are almost integrated, Toy Story series, underwater story series, all sequel plans, auto story, projects under development, all these..."

Eisner threatened: "MGM is on the verge of bankruptcy, and the other five major Hollywood have also established their own animation production and distribution system in recent years, including universal and DreamWorks, Fox Film and blue sky studio..."

"You know what kind of person I am, Michael," jobs interrupted. "If I'm afraid of taking risks..."

"Doodle doodle..." a blind tone came from the mobile phone.

"George." Eisner called George Mitchell again. "I want you to be chairman. Do you promise that you and Harvey can bring cassenberg's DreamWorks Animation Department back to Disney from David Geffen and Spielberg?"

"I don't want to lie to you, but I promise I'll do my best," replied George Mitchell.

"The answer doesn't seem satisfactory..."

"Wait, Mr. Paulson wants to talk to you." George Mitchell handed the phone to Paulson.

"Today's shareholders' meeting also has a voting agenda for George's re-election as an independent director, right?" Paulson asked without nonsense.

"Yes."

"OK, I support him. I'll show you our influence in Disney. You need George, not vice versa... Michael." Paulson said and hung up.

"It's certainly good for Linton to take over as CEO. I don't have many friends in Disney, Mr. Eisner."

Songya also said: "I don't want my business to be exposed to the muzzle of jobs or Paulson, so... Yes, if that happens, I'll go. You know me, I've never been a pure interest animal."

"Linton." before he went back, he called Linton and some close friends to him, "let our people try their best to prevent George Mitchell from being re elected." he didn't explain to his incredible subordinates: "do it immediately!"

"Yes!"

Linton snuck off to make a phone call.

He knew that Linton would pull aplus to do it together, plus his own tickets

Robert egger and jobs... Maybe... At least should not deliberately fully support George Mitchell.

He needs an answer.

He returned to the rostrum with a lot of worry. He didn't notice that his image was much more tired than before he went to rest. From time to time, he turned his head and looked at the auditors who were counting votes nervously.

Although he had been prepared, he was still unable to restrain himself when he saw the auditor's increasingly gloomy face.

After the auditor got the final figure, he also looked around.

The awkward mood in the other party's eyes almost ignited his heart. He nodded and looked away. The crowded venue seemed to become more and more blurred, so he forced himself to calm down, took out the medicine in his arms and washed it with mineral water on the table.

"With regard to Mr. Michael Eisner's motion for re-election as chairman and CEO, the total number of valid votes is... The number of affirmative votes is... The number of negative votes is... Because the proportion of negative votes is 68% of the total number of valid votes, the motion... Was not passed!"

“YES！”

The group who just made trouble immediately jumped up and applauded, and most of the representatives in the venue applauded. Some good people stared at the Disney emperor on the podium with proud and provocative eyes.

"OK, OK! Please be quiet!"

In the applause and roar, Eisner, who adjusted the speed of light, raised his hands and pressed down with a smile, "I heard and saw your demands. I promise that you will be satisfied with the handling results after tomorrow's board meeting. But now, please don't interfere with the normal order of the meeting..." then turned to the staff, "let's move on to the next agenda."

"On Mr. George Mitchell's motion for re-election as an independent director... The negative vote was 43% of all valid votes, less than half, and the motion was passed!"
