Chapter 897: Sad Youth

In the Relativity Building, Robert Iger entered Ronan's office early in the morning.

"The progress of the plan is generally smooth." Robert Iger picked up the black tea sent by Connie and said before drinking: "The most likely accident is on Wall Street."

He drank his lipstick tea and continued, "Those on Wall Street may make some moves to maximize their profits."

Ronan said: "No matter how they move, we will retreat as soon as we reach the set goal."

Hearing this, Robert Iger was obviously relieved: "Actually, I was a little worried before I came here..."

Ronan laughed: "Worried about me being too involved in finance and the stock market?"

"Yes." Robert Iger said truthfully: "There are too many company leaders who have tasted the benefits of this and thought it was a shortcut to benefit and success, but in the end..."

He didn't go on, the meaning was obvious.

Ronan said: "We are a physical company, and everything is based on physical business. In terms of physical operations, even Wall Street can't do anything about us. But we are too deep into the financial market and spend most of the company's resources on short selling or Hedge that, and we'll just be a piece of meat on Wall Street's chopping board."

Robert Iger is really relieved: "You think so, it is the luck of Relativity Entertainment."

Wall Street seems to be very calm in dealing with relativity entertainment. On the one hand, it is because there are many relatively consistent interest demands for the time being, and on the other hand, it is not waiting for an opportunity.

Wait for the opportunity for Relativity Entertainment to fully enter the financial market.

That's the home of Wall Street!

Ronan said: "In the eyes of others, I am conservative."

"Conservative and cautious is an advantage." Robert Iger said: "Only be brave when you should be brave, and conservative and cautious at other times is not a bad thing."

At this point, he just mentioned: "Lloyd Blankfein from Goldman Sachs sent an invitation. Several of them are going to short Disney and asked if we want to participate."

"What a temptation." Ronan knew that this was a good opportunity to short Disney even though he was not proficient in finance, and said, "I seem to see huge profits. The attraction of financial opium is too terrifying."

Robert Iger understood what Ronan meant,

Said: "If we mobilize a huge amount of money to participate, the dominance will not be in our hands, and there is no battlefield preset by Relativity Entertainment, and all initiative will be lost."

"We'll wait and see how it gets better," Ronan said. "Is there a time plan at Goldman Sachs?" he asked.

Robert Iger said: "Take the Disney shareholder meeting as a node, and wait for the transaction we promised them to complete."

Ronan thought for a while and said, "Reply to Lloyd Blankfein. Relativity Entertainment is currently short of funds, so we will not participate in this feast. I wish them success."

This is also true, because Relativity Entertainment will need a considerable sum of money to officially acquire Pixar Studios next.

Robert Iger said: "I'll get back to Lloyd Blankfein this afternoon."

Ronan said again: "Since they plan to get involved deeply, Bob, you communicate with them and ask them to do some work, such as letting some people see a good opportunity to invest in Disney and bring us enough income .”

"It's not difficult." Robert Iger said: "We still have some initiative."

The so-called good news is actually created by Relativity Entertainment. As long as Ronan is willing, he can burst this bubble at any time.

Of course, it won't do any good for the Wall Street firms or Relativity Entertainment to break the news ahead of time.

Ronan stood up, came to the south window, and looked towards Burbank: "I hope there will be no accidents."

Robert Iger came next to him: "At this point, Michael Eisner can only go on this road. In fact, Roy Disney is not his worst enemy, time is his worst enemy. He realizes By the time Roy Disney really posed a threat, it was too late, and there wasn't enough time to deal with it."

Ronan said, "Otherwise we wouldn't have a chance."

Robert Iger said: "We also worked hard to create such an opportunity."

The secret alliance between Relativity Entertainment and Roy Disney has severely compressed Michael Eisner's workable space.

"Pixar Studios has taken back the copyright of the animated feature film, and we have obtained what we want." Ronan said solemnly: "There are still two main tasks left, to complete the final negotiations with Pixar Studios and sign a formal acquisition agreement. Your team is responsible for the matter."

Robert Iger said: "In order to avoid the attention of the media and interested people, we have been conducting secret negotiations with Pixar's negotiating team in India. The specific conditions have basically been negotiated, and we will only wait for the time to sign a formal contract."

He thought for a while and continued: "Then there is Disney's equity. Relativity Entertainment currently holds 3% of Disney's equity. According to the current market conditions, this part of equity has an appreciation of 17%. If we If it can be sold smoothly, the profit margin may reach 150 million US dollars. Of course, I am talking about selling through the stock market, which will inevitably bring about stock price volatility..."

Ronan said: "So, the best way is to find a big investor."

Robert Iger said very seriously: "This is Disney after all, and there must be many people who want to invest."

Disney, one of the six traditional Hollywood companies, the world's leading animation film production giant, and today's most powerful animation product peripheral seller.

People who want to invest in this kind of company, of course there are!

Relativity Entertainment will complete the acquisition of Pixar Studios on the third Monday of December, after the Disney shareholder meeting. Pixar Studios has withdrawn the copyright of all animated feature films and animated short films from Disney.

Counting from Disney's first animated film "Snow White" to the last successful hand-drawn animated feature film "Tarzan" in 1999, Relativity Entertainment has obtained all authorizations for live-action film shooting and peripherals, that is, as long as the opportunity is right. , Shahai Entertainment can completely copy the plots and songs that have been widely circulated because of Disney movies, and create a live-action version of fairy tale movies.

Correspondingly, Disney also lost the right to shoot live-action movies.

Among other things, "Beauty and the Beast," "The Little Mermaid," "Aladdin," "Cinderella," and a real beast version of "The Lion King," among others, could mean billions or even tens of billions of dollars income.

In addition, Ronan is still poaching Disney Animation Studios, of course, not those computer animation technicians who are much inferior to Pixar's tricks, but the old batch of Disney hand-drawn animators.

With the decline of hand-drawn animation, this group of people is marginalized within Disney and may even be abolished.

But they happen to be the inheritors of the Disney princesses.

As long as they can accept and absorb new concepts, these people have a high chance of designing a new animation princess suitable for the new era.

Once Disney Animation Studios regained its glorious experience, Pixar Studios joined Disney, and the two major forces, John Lasseter and Idel Kammle, are the key to fully controlling the Disney Animation Department. The traditional production left by Disney Animation Studios The personnel also deserve credit.

No one knows better than these guys what kind of anime princesses audiences all over the world need!

Although his strength is far from being able to swallow Disney, Ronan made a plan with Robert Iger, who is very familiar with Disney, to snatch Disney's content, poach Disney's corners, and further create chaos for Disney. This traditionally large company continued to decline as long as possible.

The two major businesses of Walt Disney have fallen into the hands of Relativity Entertainment.

Pixar Studios and Marvel Comics!

In fact, the most important thing left is to find a good buyer and try to sell Disney's equity at a good price.

As for playing short-selling and hedging with people on Wall Street, Ronan is still conservative and cautious, which is a strange and very dangerous field.

Frankly speaking, there are quite a few people who want to invest in or replace the Big Six companies, and not many are truly capable.

Moreover, according to Ronan's standards, it is not only as simple as finding a buyer, but it is also best to introduce an ambitious person with certain strength and desire to fight for power and profit to Disney.

As a result, the Walt Disney two contending for hegemony has evolved into a tripartite confrontation.

If Walt Disney's internal struggles want to calm down, it will definitely not be possible in a short period of time. After the internal integration is completed, the structure of Hollywood may undergo brand new changes.

One step behind, and one step behind may fall behind.

As far as the current results are concerned, Relativity Entertainment is already in an invincible position, and there will be more room for operation in the future.

It might be difficult for others to find such an ambitious person, but Ronan has long been prepared, and even they are familiar with each other.

A new force in Hollywood officially entered the market this year. Their strength is not strong, but the funds they have and can quickly mobilize may not be comparable to even the traditional big companies in Hollywood.

Ronan dealt with them several times and did a lot of work in advance.

This company is called Maple Leaf Pictures, and has two super-financial owners—Ryan Kavanaugh, who persuaded many small and medium-sized Wall Street investment institutions to raise funds, and David, a sad young man who will return to Oracle to inherit tens of billions of property if he fails to start a business. - Ellison.

On the weekend before Thanksgiving, Relativity has a very special family movie to be released, and Agent Brian, who speaks for dads all over the world, strikes again.

Ronan specially asked someone to send invitations to the premiere to Ryan Cavanaugh and David Ellison, and was going to have a good talk with them.

But before that, someone suddenly came to visit because of Disney's equity.

Facts have proved that the attractiveness of traditional Hollywood companies is not so great. David Ellison is not the only one among the super-rich second generation who intends to develop in Hollywood and the sad young people who may go home and inherit tens of billions of movies.
