Chapter 1941 Loneliness

ABC still reported this merger in today's news. After all, it is one of the three major TV stations in the United States. Disney's face must be taken into account, and its own face cannot be lost.

Therefore, they did not broadcast this merger as an important news like Fox did. The host just broadcast it in the middle.

The key news they broadcast today is other major events. Spain passed the EU Constitution. The Framework Convention on Tobacco Control will take effect in the 40 countries that first ratified the treaty...

But reporters from other media will not take care of Disney's emotions.

In other words, because of the disputes between shareholders, the board of directors, the management, Michael Eisner, and the successor after Eisner's departure, Disney, which has been staged in various good dramas in recent times, has always been a darling in the eyes of the media.

They welcome big companies like Disney very much. Some negative news that cannot be concealed is simply too good, isn't it?

For these big companies, such bloody plots similar to those in movies and TV dramas happen in reality. The general public is really happy to see it.

Seeing that the Disney family's shareholders and board of directors were going to win in a series of disputes, Michael Eisner left early, and Robert Iger would most likely take over from him to helm one of the world's largest media groups, and reach the peak of his life in advance.

Unexpectedly, at this time, NEXTDOOR, an Internet-based company, suddenly emerged and successfully acquired Marvel, while the media giant Disney, which was also interested, failed. Such good news made some reporters happy, which was also unstoppable by Disney's strength.

So at noon, when Eisner was driving out for dinner, he saw the reporters blocking the passage ahead, "Sir," the driver asked him.

At this time, it was actually in time to reverse, but who was Eisner? People like him had never been timid in front of reporters, or in other words, many times, he thought that reporters did not pay enough attention to him.

So, how could it be possible to reverse?

But the question is, what should I say about today's incident? Say that this acquisition was not my responsibility, and the board of directors authorized Iger?

Doesn't that mean admitting that he has lost power to a certain extent?

No!

Saying that the acquisition of Marvel is not in line with the company's strategy?

Who are you kidding? Disney, which has theme parks all over the world, is more suitable for Marvel than other film companies...

No matter what, for a strong man like Eisner, he will never admit his failure in public, and from any angle, Disney is clearly a failure in the acquisition of Marvel.

"Mike, Iger's car is behind," the secretary said to him in a low voice after looking behind.

This is a good option!

Eisner nodded, and the car happened to drive in front of the group of reporters at this time. "Everyone," his secretary got out of the car, "If I guess correctly, you must be asking about the topic of Marvel's acquisition,"

"Yes, Mr. Eisner, Marvel was finally acquired by NEXTDOOR, what do you have to say about this?" A reporter leaned over and shouted to the car.

Eisner looked at them coldly behind the black glass, and I commented on it.

"Everyone, everyone," the secretary stopped the reporters who were about to surround the car, "Mr. Eisner is going to attend an important meeting. He has authorized Mr. Iger to answer this question. Look, his car is behind,"

"Sorry, please make way. We are in a hurry. Thank you for your cooperation,"

The car slowly drove forward. Some reporters followed it for a while. Seeing that Eisner did not show up, they finally gave up and swarmed to stop Iger's car again.

"Boss, Iger's car has stopped," the secretary said, looking at the back, with a hint of gloating in his words.

Who knew that Eisner looked at him coldly for a long time.

Although it would not be very embarrassing to deal with it this way, I believe those reporters can definitely taste my weakness at this time from my behavior of not getting out of the car.

If it was still the same Eisner before, how could he avoid such a big event?

Rushing to attend an important meeting? Please, with the character of the previous Eisner, if he encountered such a thing, he would definitely choose to deal with it first and let the participants of the meeting wait!

At this time, Eisner did not think that it was a lucky thing to have someone to take the blame. In the more than 20 years that he was in charge of Disney, he had never backed down. He was not the kind of person who needed someone to take the blame for him.

The main reason was that no matter what problems the company encountered, he had the confidence to solve them, and he could really solve them in the end.

Besides, he really had feelings for Disney, which he had brought up, and he really didn't want to see the company in such an embarrassing situation.

Humph, it's all the fault of the board of directors. If they could let him be responsible for this merger..., Eisner's body, which had been straightened up because of anger, collapsed all of a sudden.

If he was responsible for this merger as he wished, then he could guarantee that there would be a different result now?

Eisner shook his head quickly. Even when he was in the heyday of Disney, facing NEXTDOOR, especially Feng Yiping, he could not guarantee that he would definitely let Marvel come to his bowl.

He and Feng Yiping have also met and dealt with him. He seems to be humble and gentle in his words and deeds, but in fact he is not.

After analysis, Eisner's assistants came to the conclusion that the man's actions were very consistent with the concepts advocated by some ancient Chinese philosophies, which emphasized foresight, making decisions before acting, taking neither haste nor being hasty, and hitting the target with one hit. ….

Some are like Chinese masters doing Tai Chi. Those graceful and gentle postures contain huge power.

Eisner felt that if he could take action before Feng Yiping revealed his intention to acquire Marvel, he might still be able to achieve his wish, but if he waited until Feng Yiping revealed his intention to compete with him, what would be the final outcome? The result should be the same as now.

Because that meant that Feng Yiping was fully prepared, and he was passive and rushed into battle. How could he be his opponent?

Thinking of this, Eisner, who had always been a little aggrieved at being forced to retire early, couldn't help but feel a little desolate at this moment. Perhaps, it was indeed time for him to retire. The world now belongs to young people. world.

However, since he is not good at this, Egger is even less capable, including facing reporters this time.

He glanced back and saw so many reporters surrounding Egger's car, and he couldn't help but show some reluctance in his eyes.

Such a scene will definitely become farther and farther away from me in the future.

Just like an actor who loves to perform and is reluctant to leave the stage, Eisner has also become accustomed to living in front of the media's camera. He is used to the fact that he does not need to post updates on Facebook, and many people can know his updates through many channels. .

However, it seems that in the future, these reporters who are still chasing after me today may not be able to summon them if I take the initiative to summon them.

And if there are other people interested in your updates in the future, they may only be able to find out through the messages you post on Facebook.

He turned his head and said to the driver, "Let's go,"

This time, the other two people in the car could hear the weakness that this former madman and strongman couldn't hide.

Later, Iger, who knew he could not escape, got out of the car amidst the calls of reporters. Immediately, a series of questions were thrown at him, "How do you feel about a film company like Marvel not choosing Disney in the end?" ?”

"As a world-class media company and an established Hollywood film company with a long history, in the merger battle between film companies like Marvel, it ended up losing to a high-tech company in Silicon Valley. What do you think is the main reason? "

"Excuse me, will this matter have a negative impact on you taking over as the CEO of Disney?"...

Egger tried his best to keep smiling, but he still couldn't help but glance at Eisner's car that was getting farther and farther away. Aren't you a strong man? How could you escape like this and not take responsibility?

"Dear friends in the media industry, as a large media group with a long history and outstanding achievements, our board of directors and the company have long had very clear plans for how to develop in the future,"

"I can responsibly tell you that the current developments of all matters, including acquisitions or not acquiring a company, are very consistent with our strategy. Friends, please pay attention to our next developments. I believe that we will not let Everyone is disappointed, thank you!”

"Eiger, please..."

The scene was still lively behind, Eisner's car had disappeared at the end of the road and out of everyone's sight, and the Disney headquarters building, under the bright sunshine of Southern California, was still very dazzling...

ps: Hey, everyone who said they voted for the monthly vote today, did you vote?
