Chapter 850 Who to Cooperate With?

"The first thing that Relativity Entertainment guarantees is investment benefits." Ronan looked frank, with an attitude that business matters are only determined by interests: "Therefore, what I want to see is a stable Walt Disney."

He smiled: "As for who is in power, it's not particularly important to Relativity Entertainment."

With an old fox like Roy Disney who has gone through shopping malls, it is useless to talk about emotional relationships. It will only make him feel that he has ulterior motives. Talking purely from the perspective of business investment, without weighing benefits, the effect may be better.

Involving hundreds of millions of dollars in investment, relativity entertainment intervention seems normal.

Roy Disney asked coldly: "That is to say, if I reject you, do you mind working with Michael Eisner?"

Ronan said: "Relativity Entertainment's investment wants to be profitable, Disney must be stable. Although Michael Eisner may not be a good choice, it is a hundred times better than continuing the civil war. Besides, Disney can have today, and no one can ignore Michael. What Eisner has done."

His voice was also getting colder: "Although emotionally speaking, I don't like Michael Eisner very much, but..."

The words didn't go any further, but the meaning was very obvious.

Roy Disney looked at the ugly face of the capitalist on the opposite side, and he already believed in his heart that for commercial interests, Relativity Entertainment could definitely do such a thing.

After all, Relativity Entertainment and Ronan Anderson don't have much to do with the Disney family.

Besides, even if the relationship is good, can it be worth hundreds of millions of dollars?

Roy Disney is also secretly thinking, if Relativity Entertainment turns to support Michael Eisner, will it drive some centrists to turn to Michael Eisner?

This kind of thing is really hard to say.

Ronan said at this time: "Of course this is a poor choice. Michael Eisner is no longer the former Michael Eisner."

Roy Disney fully agrees with this statement: "Michael Eisner has no ability to lead Disney forward. The performance of Disney in the past few years has also proved that under the leadership of Michael Eisner, Disney's performance is shrinking."

Ronan nodded approvingly.

But I knew in my heart that I couldn't be so qualitative. The most important reason for Disney's decline was civil strife, which was more serious for a company than an external crisis.

also,

That's where Relativity Entertainment comes in.

Relativity Entertainment does not seem to have had any direct interest disputes with Disney, but both Pixar Studios and film projects such as "Pirates of the Caribbean" have affected Disney.

Ronan said: "Roy, you are an old man from Disney. No one knows Disney better than you. The first choice for Theory of Relativity entertainment is you."

"Presumably you are not so generous?" Roy Disney can see through the essence of these business groups: "Supporting me is not only for investment and income, but also for other requirements?"

Ronan laughed: "It's simple and straightforward to talk to smart people."

Roy Disney put on a serious face: "Speak."

Ronan put away his smile and said seriously: "Relativity Entertainment has acquired the copyrights of all previous animated feature films of Disney Animation Studios, and we will give Disney a satisfactory price..."

Roy Disney thought he had already prepared himself, but he could only describe it as shock when he heard this!

He stared at Ronan, as if he had a new understanding of the ugly face of capital.

Ronan didn't care. The first condition was just a test. If it was possible, Relativity Entertainment would chase after it. If it wasn't possible, just talk about other things.

"Absolutely impossible!" Roy Disney was a little outraged: "Unless there is no one in the Disney family, Disney will never sell the copyright of animated movies! Don't even think about any copyrights related to this!"

He stood up angrily, as if he wanted to say goodbye directly.

Of course, Roy Disney is also showing his attitude, there is no need to talk about this kind of thing!

Disney would rather sell all of Disneyland than sell Disney's animated film rights.

That's what Disney is all about! It is also the key to why Disney became Disney!

"Other authorizations..." Ronan tried again.

Roy Disney said word by word: "As I said, it is any copyright!"

Ronan understood and gave up, saying, "Roy, we are negotiating, and cooperation is about seeking common ground while reserving differences."

Roy Disney sat down again and emphasized again: "Any member of the Disney family is absolutely not allowed to do such a thing!"

Ronan could hear Roy Disney's determination and understood that this kind of condition was absolutely unacceptable to Roy Disney.

"Since that's the case, it's not easy for me to win someone's love." Ronan said calmly.

Although Roy Disney is very angry, his vigilance towards Ronan has returned to the normal level. A person who has a purpose and wants to obtain huge benefits comes to cooperate with him, which is actually more reliable than the kind of relationship and relationship.

The latter often hides more sinister intentions and greater interest demands behind the emotional cards.

Business partnerships are never based on emotional factors.

Roy Disney said: "Ronan, although some things are difficult to do, the strength of the Disney family should not be underestimated. Disney ending the civil strife is a win-win for us."

This is telling Ronan that he, Roy Disney, does not have to cooperate with Relativity Entertainment, so the so-called conditions and requirements should not be excessive.

Ronan seemed to understand what Roy Disney meant, thought for a while, and said: "Well, it's reasonable, and it's not difficult to do." He said softly: "Relativity Entertainment will seek to join the MPAA at an appropriate time, I request Disney fully supports the appeal of Relativity Entertainment."

Sure enough, this young man's ambition is not ordinary! Roy Disney sighed secretly and said, "You want to be on an equal footing with the Big Six?"

Ronan said: "Relativity Entertainment already possesses such strength."

"The structure of the six major organizations has been maintained for so many years and has not been broken." Roy Disney said: "The MPAA is actually a key point. Only Disney's support is far from enough, and the other five must not object."

Ronan smiled: "There is always a way."

Roy Disney said in a deep voice: "If you want to break the inherent pattern of the Big Six, it is not that simple."

Ronan said: "With the support of Disney, at least a big step forward."

Roy Disney thought for a while and said, "Yes, as long as Michael Eisner steps down, Disney fully supports Relativity Entertainment's entry into the MPAA!"

Ronan stood up and stretched out his hand: "I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."

Roy Disney shook his hand firmly: "I hope that you can send people with enough weight to devote themselves to the actual work as soon as possible, cut off Michael Eisner's personal financing channels, and drive other shareholders to become our shareholders. alliance."

Especially the latter point, with Relativity Entertainment's current reputation in the industry, it is very likely to affect the choice of many neutral shareholders.

Ronan said seriously: "Robert Iger will come to New York soon, and the CEO of Relativity Entertainment will personally participate in the operation."

"It's a deal," Roy Disney said.

Ronan said, "It's a deal."

The two exchanged for a while, and each said goodbye and left.

In addition to the clubhouse, Roy Disney thinks that the sunshine in New York is also very bright, and the skyscrapers lined up look very seductive.

Although he was in a good mood and felt that he had taken a big step towards his goal, Roy Disney warned himself that he should also be properly vigilant about the entertainment of relativity.

Back at the hotel, I asked people to understand the situation, and learned that Relativity Entertainment is indeed increasing its shareholding ratio, such as acquiring the Disney equity held by the Weinstein brothers, Roy Disney is relatively relieved.

Based on the actual situation they have learned, after thinking about it, it is in their investment interests that Relativity Entertainment cooperates with him.

That night, Robert Iger brought people from Los Angeles to New York.

"How did it go?" Robert Iger asked Ronan.

"Roy Disney is desperate to end this dispute." Ronan elaborated on the specific situation: "Overall, it's going well, but we can't relax. Bob, you come forward in person and talk to Disney shareholders Negotiate, hold on to Roy Disney."

Connie asked, "We don't work with Roy Disney?"

Ronan smiled and said: "We work with Roy Disney, but we also work with other people, and we choose who best meets our needs."

Connie understood roughly, and didn't ask any more questions.

Robert Iger said: "My side is ready, but the biggest institutions in front also need you to come forward in person."

Ronan nodded: "No problem." He asked: "Bob, how sure are you? Are you sure these shareholders are tempted?"

"They invest not to develop the film industry, but to benefit from investment." Robert Iger said: "As long as we can create a good opportunity, they can get rid of Disney's vortex and get benefits. Don't It’s too far-sighted to think of Wall Street, these people smell opportunities and only focus on benefits.”

Ronan suddenly thought of the former Lehman Brothers. As one of the top investment banks on Wall Street, would they not be aware of the serious consequences of such crazy operations?

But huge profits are at your fingertips, and few people will care about the future.

Moreover, Ronan and Robert Iger planned a meal that was not particularly luxurious, but rich.

"This matter cannot be rushed, it needs timing." Robert Iger reminded: "We have been waiting and planning for several years, not bad for these few months."

Ronan nodded slightly: "I understand." He asked, "When will Steve Jobs arrive?"

Robert Iger said: "After we have preliminary results, he will come to New York in person, and I talked to him twice, as long as we can guarantee to get back the copyright for Pixar Studios, Steve Jobs will also cooperate with us. For a period of time to come, as long as there is no conflict of interest, Steve Jobs can basically stand with us on the same front.”

Ronan said: "You also have to be prepared for Jobs to turn his face in the future."

I hope there will not be such a day. Although Jobs has a strong ability to make money, he has not had a few years.
