Chapter 835： Will wolves become vegetarian?

"I suggest giving up Lucasfilm."

It was a director of Disney who was speaking on behalf of the interests of some investment institutions on Wall Street. "This acquisition has dragged Disney into a quagmire."

This is Walt Disney's routine board of directors. Compared with the last meeting, the atmosphere this time is more serious.

Sitting in his seat, Ryan has never spoken much. The board said so, he is not surprised at all. People on Wall Street care about their own investment interests.

If it can bring benefits, they support it, otherwise they will oppose it.

"I agree with Mr. Tyrese," Crete Disney said, "Disney has paid a heavy price for this acquisition..."

Listening to the other party’s eloquent words, Ryan did not respond. This son of Roy Disney, except for his rhetoric and occasional ambitions, has little practical ability and experience. He can enter the board of directors. Roy Disney's promise.

"Disney is now full of negative news." Crete? Disney's voice suddenly increased, "The management must be responsible for this."

His eyes slowly turned to Ryan, and when he touched Ryan's sharp gaze, he immediately closed it back.

"Who will be responsible?" Ryan asked slowly.

Crete? Disney opened his mouth, hesitated for a while, still gritted his teeth and said, "Ryan, most of the negative news is focused on you and the people around you. Now Disney's market value has fallen by $5 billion. , Shouldn't you be responsible for this?"

"Oh?" Ed Kamel asked, "Then your opinion is..."

"Resigned as chairman of the board."

Without hesitation, Crete Disney said directly, “This can stabilize investor confidence and believe that Disney’s stock price will soon rise to its original height.”

Just look at Crete? Disney. Just know that after Roy Disney's death, the Disney family has since been ruined, and it is really not injustice at all.

Shook his head. Ryan said, "Is anyone else thinking that? If you have an opinion on me. Feel free to post it."

There was no sound in the conference room. Even if someone had such an idea, they would not say it directly. Everyone knew that unless Ryan voluntarily backed down, it would be impossible to force him to resign as chairman.

The board of directors did not last long, mainly discussing the antitrust investigation currently accepted by Disney. In fact, it is not difficult for Disney to get out of it. As long as the driving force behind the scenes disappears, as long as a small fine is paid, the investigation will naturally end.

After all, Disney is not the original Microsoft and today's Apple and the future Google.

As for other matters, Ryan had already discussed with Robert Iger and Cook Dick, and some things should not be known to too many people.

News Corp’s main target is focused on him. He himself is the target placed in the open. News Corp wants to distract him from this. Why didn’t Ryan attract News Corp’s main firepower to himself so as to secretly The layout is more convenient and quick to expand.

The board of directors ended. Ryan and Nicole went back to their respective offices to put on dresses, left Burbank by car, and went to the Four Seasons Hotel to attend a charity dinner in the media industry. Many media industry giants will show up at the dinner, including the Murdoch couple.

"Dear."

Sitting in the back seat of the car, Ryan said to Nicole, "Remember to remind me that after this incident is over, Crete Disney will be removed from the board of directors."

"The Disney family..." Nicole frowned.

"You don't have to worry too much now," Ryan shook his head, "This was not eight years ago, when we were going to borrow the Disney family to stabilize people. Now, there is no need for this."

"I will ventilate with Ed and them."

Speaking of. Nicole also found it funny, Crete? Disney delusional to force Ryan to resign. At least you have to look at the chips in your hand first

Robert Iger, Cook Dick, Ed Kamel, together with the community of interests represented by her and Ryan, hold close to 65 percent of Disney's equity. What will the Disney family use to regain Walt? Disney?

"Don't underestimate anyone, even if it is a recognized waste."

When getting out of the car, Ryan whispered to Nicole, "He might be supported by someone."

Ignoring the turbulent reporter paparazzi at all, under the protection of many bodyguards, Ryan and Nicole walked quickly across the red carpet and entered the hotel, all the way to the banquet hall where the charity party was held.

They came late, and there were already quite a few people in the huge banquet hall, many of whom were acquaintances.

For example, Summer Redstone, he took the initiative to come over to shake hands with Ryan. It seems that Viacom has never been a part of Viacom in the media that chased Ryan and Disney behind News Corporation these days.

"Hey, Summer." Ryan deliberately reminded him, "Paramount still owes me a share of "Star Trek" and a loan."

"I promise!" Summer Redstone did not have any expression on his skin grafted face, "If you belong to you, there will be no less than a cent."

The two exchanged a few words casually, and then walked towards their respective seats. Ryan only reminded each other that it is okay to follow News Corp's buttocks to pick up the bargain, but there are some things you should not do too much.

Ryan and Nicole’s seats are in the front row, and they are also the top richest people in the United States at the same table. They can also be regarded as old acquaintances, Paul Allen, one of the founders of Microsoft.

I shook hands with Paul Allen and his wife, and the two chatted, and the topic soon came to the Super Bowl in February.

"It's a pity." Paul Allen looked regretful. "After Tom Brady joined, our competitive level has soared. We also entered the Super Bowl for the first time this year, but we did not expect it to fall in the last half minute. ."

"The structure of the Seahawks is reasonable and the running-in is mature." Ryan also watched the live broadcast of that game. "The Seahawks will be the most powerful contender for the Super Bowl in the next few years."

Speaking of which, the Seattle Seahawks lost really badly.

They are four points behind and have already attacked the opponent's four-yard line. Although there is less than one minute left, it is enough for them with three offensive opportunities. Just one touchdown is enough to kill. Dead New England Patriots.

Perhaps Tom Brady, who performed well in the entire court, lost his head and did not choose the safest and easiest running back to attack on the ground. Instead, he chose to pass the ball. More tragically, he caught the ball from the end line and outside. When the touchdown was only one yard, Tom Brady's pass was intercepted by the New England Patriots, and the Seahawks lost the Super Bowl.

Only two tables away from Ryan and Nicole, Rupert Murdoch and Wendi Deng are also chatting and laughing with people. Unlike Ryan, their eyes will scan Ryan's table from time to time.

With the fierce competition and the despicable means, the original alliance between the two sides has long disappeared. Rupert Murdoch knows this very well, and he also knows that Ryan must be under tremendous pressure now, even if it is the other party. He would not be surprised if he ran up to him and scolded him violently.

But what he didn't expect was that the other party's expression was very relaxed. Even Nicole Kidman didn't change his face after seeing him. Is this the acting skills of the Oscar actor and actress too good, or they are confident to regain it. The current situation that is about to collapse?

Of course, Murdoch will not be surprised by this situation. There is a lot of life and death in the mall, and there are many people who continue to relax in public. This only shows that Ryan Jenkins has a strong psychological quality, just like the rumors. And fighting spirit.

Unfortunately, some things can be solved without fighting spirit.

Of course, Ryan saw the Murdoch couple, but didn't care. When they reached their position, even if there was a deep hatred between the two sides, they would not tear their faces in public.

Besides, it is not certain who will be the final winner.

Charity evenings are nothing more than that, socializing, donating a suitable amount of donation, auctioning or buying some expensive but not of much practical value...

Towards the end of the party, Murdoch and Wendi Deng suddenly came over.

"Don't mind talking in private, Ryan?"

Standing at the table, Murdoch's words were still full of politeness, but the arrogance of fully mastering the initiative was also revealed.

"Why not?"

Standing up, Ryan handed Nicole his arm, and Nicole took it, and followed Ryan to the direction of the terrace first.

"It's all fighting!"

Wendi Deng muttered dissatisfiedly, and followed Murdoch with his arms.

This is a spacious terrace. After Ryan walked in, he whispered a few words to the waiter, Nicole opened the handbag and handed the tip. The waiter immediately walked to the other guests and kindly asked them to leave this place temporarily. Place.

Some people were naturally dissatisfied, but they saw that the person standing in the middle of the terrace was Ryan, and then the Murdoch couple walked in. They think of the disputes that are free of gunpowder in Hollywood and even the entire media industry. Even if they are full of curiosity, Take the initiative to withdraw from this place.

Finding a table near the edge of the terrace, Ryan first opened up the chair for Nicole, waited for Nicole to sit down, then sat next to him, and then made a request to the Murdoch couple who followed. gesture. UU Reading

There is no one else here, Ryan and Nicole have put away polite smiles long ago, and with the current situation on both sides, they are not polite at all.

"Rupert." Ryan held the cup in front of him and slowly turned it by his hand, looking very rude, "Just tell me something."

"Ryan..." Murdoch didn't care. In his opinion, the winner didn't need to care about this. "The competition between us should be over."

"What conditions?" Ryan raised his eyebrows, and the world won't lose pie.

"You withdraw from this competition." Murdoch said directly.

"Give up Lucasfilm, that's it?"

The other party has created such a huge momentum, just for this? Ryan didn't believe it, just as he didn't believe that wolves would change to vegetarianism. (To be continued)
