Chapter 1409 The Start of the Snake-Tombing-Elephant Plan

However, Yin Jun will definitely not encourage others.

Tang Shuxuan's position as president of the North American branch will not be relinquished for at least three to five years.

With her sitting on it, Yin Jun would have a general name to control others.

The other department managers will not say that they are always thinking about that position instead of doing serious work.

But they all know that sooner or later this position will belong to one of them. In order to get this position, of course, one must rely on strength to speak for themselves.

In order to achieve their goals, they focus on their own departments, which is a good means of promoting work.

Although a great talent like Robert Egger can stand up on his own, if he does not have rich experience at the grassroots level and does not have the confidence and ability to create a good situation by himself, he will not be able to sit on such a high level. high position.

"By the way, Ms. Oprah, give her the same contract as Larry King." After thinking about it, Yin Jun said casually.

Robert Egger looked at Yin Jun in slight surprise and said, "Boss, do you think so highly of her?"

Although he is only on the Disney TV Channel now, Robert Iger is well aware of Yin Jun's style of doing things.

Anyone Yin Jun values ​​​​must be tied up with a high salary and a long-term contract.

Including staff, artists, directors and producers.

But so far, only Larry King has a 20-year contract with Disney TV Channel, and even the cast of "Happy Hotel" is only for 15 years.

Yin Jun's willingness to give Oprah a 20-year contract only proves that Yin Jun thinks she has Larry King potential.

Robert Iger was very optimistic about Oprah, but he did not expect that she would have the potential to soar like Larry King does today.

But Robert Egger will not doubt Yin Jun's vision, because all the previous facts have proved that Yin Jun's vision is unparalleled in the world, and whoever he says can do it must do it.

Including Robert Iger himself, when Yin Jun deliberately recruited him from ABC, how many people said that he was young and ignorant and could not control the Disney TV Channel?

What's the result now?

The Disney Channel is almost becoming a medium-sized TV station!

Therefore, while Robert Iger was asking questions, he also began to quietly adjust his positioning towards Oprah.

"I think she has a very comfortable temperament." Yin Jun said harmoniously, "Sincerity, simplicity, and no concealment... If she can use this trait in her talk show, she will definitely have a good performance. Achievements. Let’s do this first. It’s best if we succeed. If we don’t, we won’t lose anything.”

"OK."

Robert Egger nodded.

Yin Jun is right, even if it is a long-term contract, it is impossible to have no requirements at all.

If the performance is really too bad, Kirin Group has the right to terminate the contract - this is the dominance of large companies, and the contract must of course be beneficial to itself.

For Robert Iger now, even if Oprah has great potential, just signing Oprah is not a big deal.

After taking note of Yin Jun's instructions, he reported another project plan to Yin Jun.

"Boss, I want to add a new highlight to our Disney." Robert Iger said excitedly, "Our Disney TV channel has now developed into an all-age channel, but I think our children and teenagers must not Few. Because they represent the future. Once they get used to our Disney TV Channel, they will continue to become our fans when they grow up."

"What are you going to do specifically?" Yin Jun asked smoothly.

"I decided to set up a club mainly composed of young actors and singers, and create a program for them that is similar to a family carnival." Robert Egger said, "They sing, dance, and appear on stage in every program. Plays, games...children will definitely love these!”

"Mickey Mouse Club!?"

Yin Jun blurted out.

"Huh?" Robert Egger's eyes lit up, "Hey, boss, you picked up this name well! Not bad! Not bad! It's called Mickey Mouse Club! It has a childish innocence and fun, and it can also express a familiar atmosphere. "

Facing Robert Egger's compliments and excitement, Yin Jun secretly sighed at the wonder of fate.

The Mickey Mouse Club in the previous life was established this year, but it was not proposed by Robert Iger at all, because he was still at ABC at the time.

Moreover, the first Mickey Mouse Club was not very successful. It was discontinued after just a few months and would not be restarted until 6 years later.

When it was launched for the second time, the Mickey Mouse Club ushered in its most glorious moment.

In other words, it is the time to contribute your best efforts to the future entertainment industry.

Although it was launched for the second time, it only existed for about 5 years and was disbanded in 1984.

However, except for some less famous singers and actors, this time the Mickey Mouse Club has contributed four superstars to the United States and even the world.

Three in the field of singing and one in the field of film.

In the film field, it is Commander Gao, the male protagonist of "La La Land", and the one who contributed wonderful acting skills to Sister Shitou.

Commander Gao is a powerful person and has no scandals, so he usually keeps a low profile.

In the field of singing, he is much more famous than Commander Gao.

One of them is called Justin Timberlake, the other is called Britney Spears, and Christine Aguilera.

One king and two queens.

Especially Britney Spears at her peak. In those years, the whole world loved this sweet girl.

correct.

Justin is also Britney's first public boyfriend. Britney claims that her first time was taken away by Justin Jia.

It was precisely because Boss Jia dumped Britney and dealt her a huge blow that she later became a crazy woman. She remained crazy for many years and got better in her thirties.

Then, after leaving the Mickey Mouse Club, Britney and Aguilera became two sworn enemies. They often exchanged insults in the distance and would start fighting as soon as they met.

Thinking of the right and wrong in the future, Yin Jun quickly recovered his mind.

There is no use thinking about them now. Britney is only 2 years old and there is no way she can join the Mickey Mouse Club.

But Robert Egger had the right idea.

Cultivating some child stars and actors from a young age is a great cohesive force for Disney's younger fans.

When this group of child stars grow up, these audiences will also grow up, so it is logical that they can pay for these grown-up child stars, whether it is records, movies, or TV series.

The four superstars above are good examples.

They proved that although many child stars are fleeting, some are so lasting.

Even if it doesn't last long, at least they contributed to Disney when they were young, and one or two works when they grew up can also get good returns, so Disney will not lose money.

To put it this way, although there is a coldness in giving priority to interests, if you think about it carefully, Disney has not treated these young actors badly.

Every performance they perform will have corresponding rewards. When they can't make money, they should naturally quit the circle.

If you want to sympathize with every actor, then the business will really be impossible.

Including Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, if they really have no market, Yin Jun would rather find them a behind-the-scenes job than force them to act.

This is irresponsible to one's own company and one's own career.

Yin Jun doesn't need to take action on this matter, Robert Egger will handle it himself.

However, if the Mickey Mouse Club is formed, the programs on Disney TV Channel will become more and more crowded.

The young man who was deep in thought looked up and asked Robert Egger, "Robert, do you think it's time to launch our snake-eating elephant plan?"

Robert Egger perked up, "Have you decided?"

The so-called Snake to Swallow Elephant Plan refers to the Kirin Group’s acquisition of ABC Television News Network, allowing Disney to swallow up this television network that is much larger than itself.

At that time, it will be Robert Iger who will take charge of ABC's overall business.

Yin Jun discussed the acquisition of ABC with Robert Iger when he was filming "The Shawshank Redemption" last year and during this year's Oscars.

After all, if a future leader like Robert Iger doesn't know about such a big acquisition, he will definitely be blinded if you ask him to take office directly.

Without good preparation, how could ABC be smoothly integrated into the Disney system?

So Yin Jun told Robert Egger in advance, which gave him a chance to prepare.

Yin Jun wants to acquire ABC to completely enhance the strength of the Disney Company, and he will be the president of ABC. Robert Iger is of course very excited.

He came from ABC. If he had the opportunity to return to his hometown, who wouldn't like it?

Not long after, Yin Jun mentioned the acquisition plan again and expressed his clear intention. Of course, Robert Egger was a little excited.

"It's almost time." The young man smiled, "There is already news from Goldman Sachs. ABC's shareholders are not opposed to contacting them, nor are they opposed to Disney's acquisition."

"This is all thanks to your amazing talent, boss." Robert Iger said sternly, "If our Disney TV Channel hadn't become stronger, they wouldn't have taken us so seriously. It's precisely because the Disney TV Channel is already very important in ABC. An important and indispensable part, that’s why they negotiate so easily.”

Yin Jun nodded and agreed with Robert Egger's words.

ABC in its previous life actually did not belong to Disney at the beginning.

They were sold to Metropolitan Corporation in 1985, the year after tomorrow, and then wandered around for many years before being bought by Disney, and they have since become a piece of the Disney empire.

But it doesn't matter. As long as Yin Jun knows that ABC is still available for purchase recently, it is enough.

Moreover, as Robert Iger said, ABC has realized that the Disney TV Channel is indispensable. Once they reject the acquisition of the Kirin Group, the Disney TV Channel is likely to be immediately separated from the ABC TV News Network and reorganized by itself. television network.

Although the Disney TV Channel may not be successful, ABC will definitely suffer heavy losses. I am afraid that even the top ten TV networks in the United States will not be able to save it.

Americans don't do business just for grudges.

They thought that instead of parting ways with the Disney TV Channel, wouldn't it be nice for everyone to work more closely together again and become a family to make money together?

Having such a plan is the biggest reason why they responded very positively to the Kirin Group's acquisition offer.
