Chapter 1800: Unhappy Egger
So, in the end, we will find that a lot of pain and troubles are actually caused by ourselves.
Of course, we can also put it in a less negative and fatalistic way: in the long journey of life, many of the pains and troubles we encounter actually originate from our choices.
Disney's current COO, Robert Iger, really couldn't agree more with this statement.
If it weren't for his eagerness and deep love for the soon-to-be-vacated chair under Michael Eisner's butt, of course, we can also put it in a positive and positive way: Egger hopes to be able to work in the next career , to introduce more works that can please the body and mind for a broad audience, and to create more profits for Disney’s shareholders.
If it weren't for this, Egger wouldn't have the troubles he has now.
When Feng Yiping was worried about the consequences of Jin Ling's kind help this time, he might become a benevolent person if he failed, when the Liu brothers were worried about financial problems, when Huang Jingping and Ma Ling had New Year's Eve dinner together and were a little worried about tomorrow's meeting. Feeling uneasy... He has been in New York for two days, but the planned meeting has still not been finalized.
He also asked many people to make connections, but, like Cummins before him, until now, he has not been able to receive a positive reply from Marvel boss Isaac Palmater.
According to the news, Cummins will meet with Feng Yiping on behalf of Feng Yiping at Palmater's office in Manhattan tomorrow morning.
Egger had originally planned to meet with Parmat before Cummins. Now it seems that whether he can meet with Parmat after Cummins, let alone being the first, is a question.
He knew, Palmater knew he knew what Cummins was going to talk about.
He also knew that the reason why Parmat had still not made it clear whether they would meet with him or when they would meet him was just a ploy by Parmat.
He rushed to meet with Palmater at this time, why didn't he know why? How could he not welcome such a thing?
I'm afraid that guy will laugh happily in the office when he gets the news.
The reason is simple. There are two companies interested in his Marvel, so he obviously has a great initiative and advantage in the following talks.
"I know, there's no need to wait for news over there tonight," he said with a relaxed expression to his subordinates who came to report that there was still no progress in the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.
"But Eger, tomorrow...," the subordinate was even more annoyed than Eger.
Who are we? We are the representative of the second largest media group in the world, and Marvel is just a second-rate movie company.
Now that we are entrusted by the board of directors, we come to visit you and you are actually addicted to making excuses. Do you still have some rules?
"Be prepared for the meeting tomorrow," Egger glanced at his men and said firmly.
His subordinate's behavior made him frown a little.
It seems that many employees in the company have also been affected by Michael Eisner's bad influence, and they are somewhat arrogant regardless of the occasion or location.
You know, in shopping malls, it is common for the stronger party to accommodate the weaker party, especially such a merger and acquisition project that is very critical to Disney.
The subordinate didn't react for a while, but after a while he said, "Eger, you mean, Marvel will notify us to go to Palmater's office tomorrow morning?"
"What else?" Egger looked like he had everything under control.
Now, if he were paired with a goose feather fan, he would really look like Zhuge Liang.
The subordinate thought, yes, if Parmat doesn't invite him to join in the fun tomorrow, then his head will be kicked by a donkey.
It's not ruled out that he might do it sometimes, but for something as simple as this, he definitely wouldn't.
You know, that person is also a Jew.
"Okay, let's get ready now,"
Egger waved his hand without raising his head, but after all his subordinates exited, he couldn't help but kick the table.
Why isn't he angry? Why isn't he annoyed?
First of all, he is currently the COO of Disney, which is the number two person in the Disney management team.
I have so condescended to come here in person, and have spent two full days on this, which cannot be said to be insincere.
Moreover, since Disney has issued a press release and Eisner is about to leave in September, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is a good competitor for the headship of Disney.
This authorization by the Disney board of directors clearly shows their support for themselves. That is to say, in this competition for the helm of Disney, they are already in an advantageous position. That is, Palmater, you actually carelessly put Disney's future The CEO was left in the cold for two whole days without giving any correct words. This is something that neither the uncle nor the aunt can tolerate.
Because by doing this, Palmater obviously despises Disney Chiguoguo, especially Eger.
It was also because Egger believed that if Eisner came over, Palmater would not even dare to let him go for two hours.
If he tries to dry it out, Eisner will definitely beat him to the point where he has no way to retreat, and will beat him to the point where he has no love in his life.
However, after all, Eisner is becoming a thing of the past, and I will be the shining star of tomorrow, right?
Why can't you give me the respect I deserve?
Therefore, no matter how outstanding a person is, in many cases, his butt will still determine his head.
If Eisner had not decided to retire at this time, Iger would not have had the chance to sit in the seat he would vacate, and he would still be the second-in-command COO. In such a situation, even if he would be angry, he would never I would be as angry as I am now.
Speaking of which, Eisner's attitude was also one of the reasons why Egger was angry at this time.
Eisner must know about the progress on his side, that is, he has made no progress here, but he has no intention of providing help. It seems that as he stated on the board of directors before, the acquisition of Marvel will be of great benefit to Disney. He didn't really care about the idea of what it meant.
But how could he not care? It's precisely because Eisner seems indifferent now that he really cares.
Egger thought that Eisner probably felt that the difficulties he encountered were not enough at this time, and maybe he was thinking of ways to further increase the difficulty of completing this task.
It's best if he keeps making no progress like this, so that Eisner can take over in a legitimate and logical manner.
Egger was convinced that his judgment must be correct.
The person he wanted to acquire did not give him face and created problems for himself. Eisner, who was supposed to be his strong backing, not only refused to help at this time, but was also very likely trying to plot against him. How could Egger not be angry?
However, Egger's hamburger steaks for so many years were not in vain. He knew that if he got angry and let such emotions affect tomorrow's meeting, he would undoubtedly be fulfilling Parmat's wishes, just like Eisner's. Yes, that would be a real shame.
The key is that it will definitely affect his competition for the position of Disney CEO.
Therefore, he quickly calmed down and once again checked and reviewed the strategy he would take tomorrow.
At this time, there is no room for any mistakes in such a project. In tomorrow's meeting, Cummins must be stepped on and Parmatt agrees to its intention to be acquired by Disney.
At this time, in Silicon Valley on the West Coast, in the NEXTDOOR headquarters campus, there was a burst of joy in the office of the M&A team, because they had also rushed to Cummins in New York and said on the other end of the video, "This is the solution we need."
The plan he mentioned was the final plan that everyone came up with just now, and it was also the plan that everyone agreed was the best and most complete.
"Whether you go to a restaurant in the park or a restaurant outside, celebrate first and wait for my good news."
"Yeah," the group of people who were already exhausted were now as energetic as a shot of chicken blood.
The lights in their office had been on for several nights and were finally turned off.
"Take a chance to relax tonight," was the consensus among the guys.
The hard work these days is just the prelude to this merger. The more difficult work is still to come.
They have no doubt at this time that there will be some changes in Cummins' meeting tomorrow, and it will not go well.
Please, how is that possible?

At this time, Huang Jingping and Ma Ling were both tossing and turning in bed. The Gulfstream carrying Jin Ling and Zhang Yan was getting closer and closer to the United States.
