Almighty sign in

"Mr. Eisner, I think you need to see this."

The assistant hurried over.

As Michael Eisner, who has been in charge of the Disney Group since 1984 and has made the Disney family hate and helpless as an outsider as a professional manager, this is a legend.

It is under his leadership that the Disney Group has grown from a company valued at $2 billion to a behemoth with a market value of $40 billion, becoming one of the top seven film companies in Hollywood.

As the helm of Disney, Eisner has a lot of things every day. In addition to the company's affairs, he has to deal with the open guns and arrows from the Disney family.

There is no way, who made him too strong, he was obviously a part-time worker, but he was more powerful and prestigious than his master, so that the master would not be able to drive him away. Can he become a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh?

"Steve sold his shares in Peak Studios to a Chinese guy!"

The assistant's news surprised Eisner.

In his impression, although Steve has many shortcomings, this guy has always had a kind of self-confidence in himself and never gives up lightly.

Unless he is really not optimistic or has greater temptation.

"According to the information we got, the Chinese man named Xu Ang has the copyright of "Toy Story" in his hands."

When Eisner heard it, there was a look on his face.

It turned out to be so, which is not surprising.

The life gate is in the hands of others, and Steve can't do it.

But how could Steve make such a fatal mistake?

Large companies cast their nets and fish more. This is to ensure that their tentacles can reach all corners of the industry.Take Peak Studios, for example, even if it was founded, Disney still invested money and became one of its shareholders.

Since it is a shareholder, there are some things that can't be hidden from Disney.

Inside Peak Studios, I have long heard of Eisner's unsure and disapproval of "Toy Story".

Imagine that even the producers do not watch a good movie, even if it is full of gimmicks, it is touted as the first 3D animation film on the theater line, saying that it is to create a new chapter in animation film, in the eyes of insiders like Eisner Here it is still the kind of money-losing goods.

"At first I thought Steve was the founder of the Big Banana Boat. His constant failures in recent years were just bad luck. If he got lucky one day, he would be able to turn himself over. He was a worthy investment figure. But I didn't want him to even own the copyright. Big mistakes will happen, and you will lose sight."

Eisner shook his head, not knowing whether he was sorry for Steve, or because the group's shares in Peak Studios were going to become waste paper.

"Let's talk, what else is there, you should be more than a little news in such a hurry."

"According to reliable sources, there is a Hua Xia director and a Hua Xia actress around that Hua Xia person. His ownership of Picks makes investors extremely unhappy. So..."

"So investors have to withdraw capital while the movie still has such a glimmer of anticipation, and stop the loss in time. This is normal. But..." Eisner glanced at his assistant, "What does it matter to us? Peak has the technology, and it may have an impact on the group in the future. Even if it is only one in 10,000, we have to hold its shares in order to exercise our power as shareholders when it really may become a threat."

The usual tactics of big companies against small companies, although clichéd, are very useful.That is to become a shareholder of a small company, to continuously influence and hinder their decision-making and development from the inside when the small company becomes its own threat, and then cooperate with external means to suppress the threat in the bud.

"There are different opinions on the board."

"Are they from the Disney family again?" Eisner frowned and asked his assistant, "What did they do? Walt left them with little legacy in the group."

The assistant replied: "They moved a lot of people, got the support of the board of directors, and clamored to withdraw capital from Peaks."

Eisner was expressionless: "Reason."

"The Chinese people who have taken the lead in Peaks publicly stated that he will let his compatriots direct and participate in the new movie. However, it is ridiculous that when someone asked about the specific situation of the new movie, he evasively said that he would not start the project until the company went public. Also, that Chinese man is only eighteen years old."

Eisner laughed at him: "Naughty young man, what he thinks of movies, I don't know what to say."

No wonder investors are not optimistic about the Peak Studios. With such an unreliable helm, no one can have confidence in Peak's future.

"Even so, if you want to withdraw money, it doesn't mean that you can withdraw withdraw. Will Huaxia people agree?"

"Yes, Huaxia agreed. He insists that he is optimistic about the box office of "Toy Story", and believes that this movie will be a big hit, which will cause the stock price of the simultaneous listing of Peak Studios to rise to an astonishing level. Investors who transfer shares do not refuse to come and receive as much as they can."

Eisner curled his lips disdainfully: "The entire Peak's valuation is only 20 million U.S. dollars. He has already accounted for the bulk of it. Even if all the rest is repurchased, it will not cost much. But that's right, China is so backward and poor. For the sake of their poor self-esteem, the guys who came out of this place can only save a bit of face through such a small amount of money."

The assistant asked Eisner: "Do you want to agree to the board's request?"

"Do you think I am like Walt's incompetent children and grandchildren, who have no eyesight?" Eisner stood up, "Let’s go, go and meet the directors, and then I will fight to resolutely disagree with the board. The proposal of the Disney family was forcibly passed."

"what?"

Does the assistant understand?

Eisner didn’t look back, but just said: “Internal fighting will drag down the development of a company. If you can solve different internal voices, even if you lose, it is acceptable. I am optimistic about you, so I will keep you by my side. . Remember to talk less and do more, take a good look and learn."

On the same day, a well-informed person revealed that Eisner and the board of directors within the Disney Group had a serious disagreement. The Disney family’s human-use group founder Walt Disney had only a few remaining relationships in the group and obtained the board of directors. They agreed, and their proposal was forcibly passed under Eisner’s strong opposition.

As soon as the news came out, people speculated that the Disney family would launch a counterattack against Eisner in order to regain the power that belongs to them. The Disney Group is likely to return to the Disney family era.

Under the cover of such a major event, the change of ownership of the Peak Studios was extremely inconspicuous, and not many people paid attention to it, not to mention that Steve, a loser who has been regarded by the capital industry as eliminated by the times, became a new company. Message from the company president.

Jiang Wen couldn't understand: "Brother, are you so sure that Steve and Disney will come as you expected?"

"It's actually very simple. Steve only has the bargaining chip of Peak Studios. His experience will allow him to control as much of the company's shares as possible, and Disney..." Xu Ang smiled very confidently. Compared with eliminating internal opposition and turning Disney into one's own words, Eisner's view of a small amount of external losses does not need to be considered."

"Life will always face a choice, since it is a choice, it must make a choice."

"It's human nature to choose the big and the small."
