Chapter 1508 During the Third Battle of the Three Emperors

"Exactly, didn't the girl say that the family has a history of mental illness? Then the hospital is very suitable for her, just like the John Hinckley who assassinated Reagan, let's stay in the place where he went! Don't worry, Amy, this kind of thing will not happen. Cause you any trouble, trust me..."

Linton himself said on the phone: "Anyway, Disney will get it done. You've done a good job. Then just focus on Enchanted. You know the importance of this project, right? Okay, everything Let’s talk after the Christmas period is over... Don’t complain about APLUS to the outside world, he is indeed a bit of a showman, but there are too many external temptations for a rich and famous person like him, but I know how much he likes you, he has been in front of us more than once He has revealed that the one he loves the most is you."

"I will. Goodbye, Mr. Linton..."

The words of the vice chairman of Disney are too nasty. Amy frowned and just put away the phone, Daniel next to him said: "Great, Amy, it's great that you can take care of the overall situation. Linton and APLUS are fighting Disney Civil War , at this moment, they can't bear the failure of the magic romance project, you, the heroine, are very important to the box office..."

"I said I would cooperate."

Amy interrupted him helplessly. In the past few days, including Disney Vice Chairman Linton, people from Touchstone Films, and Bowei Films have all coaxed herself carefully, for fear that she would ruin the reputation of Magical Romance on the spur of the moment.

Hayden, Yeremov, Daniel and others also appeared around him like a relay, helping their scumbag boss in various ways, and inquiring and monitoring by the way.

"That's good, hey, that's good..."

Daniel rubbed his hands cheerfully, and suddenly complained about Song Ya's ex-wife, "Seriously, if Mariah Carey was half as sensible as you back then, I wouldn't have lost Sony Columbia Records..."

"I don't think it's sensible for a woman to forbear, to take the overall situation into consideration..."

Amy rolled her eyes and scolded Daniel, then left him and went upstairs alone.

"Sloan, Sloan, listen to me, you listen to me first..."

As soon as I walked to the door of the study, I heard an excited and enthusiastic familiar voice inside, without feeling a trace of guilt, "I was wrong before, I made a mistake! I thought Web2.0 was just an invention they used to hype Internet stock prices. The concept, but this thing is really valuable! Have you heard of Mark Granovetter's weak connection theory? Very good, our website will also start to follow the Internet social model, immediately! I have a good idea Let the OpenDiary blog site open some new functions like FACEBOOK to deepen the user's own interactive content, yes, those small games, stealing parking spaces, stealing food... What stealing food? Just stealing food..."

"besides……"

The man paced back and forth with his landline,

He spoke very fast, "Let's create another OpenDiary Ba community, what? It's the one made by Yanhong..."

Amy leaned on the door frame, staring at the tall man's back with tears in her eyes, and the song just recorded suddenly echoed in her mind.

that's why we must have lips

because only it can be used to kiss

Then our whole life can be spent in happiness

by true love kiss

Go find your beloved...

"Also, we have to have a similar online gossip website like TMZ. This time I learned a lesson, but I also got a revelation! Haha, it's not too late, let Louise report on the murder Back in Hollywood, Littman Media provides technical support, Disney will cooperate with you, just like AOL Time Warner is to TMZ, Louise Report can’t be done without the backing of media giants, that kind of gossip news website is a bit offending... Well, we have a joint venture with Disney, Linton will arrange someone to connect with you..."

Amy sighed silently, turned and left gloomily.

This scene was happened to be seen by Song Zecheng who came to report the work, he shook his head with emotion, and muttered to himself: "Oh! The most passionate person is the most ruthless person..."

"boss."

However, he quickly calmed down and walked into the study with a smile to announce the good news: "Disney has settled Amanda's parents, agent, lawyer...everyone."

"oh."

It's not surprising that a small star like Touchstone Films can be blocked by a middle-level executive with real power. Song Ya lightly agreed to say that she knew.

Want to take the black and red route and become the gossip queen? dream!

Even Paris Hilton, who came from an old money family, can watch people order dishes, right?

That Amanda is so reckless, breaking the news about the foul behavior of the media tycoon, even her own enemies and quasi-enemies will not help her, this is the bottom line between everyone.

Aside from leaving a few rotten memes in the internet's memory, the rest of the talk quickly died down.

"Mr. Linton has already made an appointment with Eisner..." Song Zecheng said again.

"Um."

In California in August, the sun was scorching and the golf cart stopped. Linton still respectfully protected His Majesty the Emperor as usual.

Eisner looked at the kick-off point, and the black pharaoh was already there, walking back and forth aggressively, talking to himself.

Oh, not talking to himself, he has a bluetooth headset on his ear, he should be talking on the phone.

"I'm not going to New York anymore, I don't have time, Yanhong, your website IPO will not go wrong... Yes, the United States is very optimistic, I promise. By the way, contact Ms. Sloan, she needs your help to do it Some tech support...just do me a favor. Hang up, keep in touch."

Song Ya also saw Eisner, "Mr. Eisner." When the other party came closer, he ended the call with just a few words and reached out to say hello.

"APLUS, how is it? Has the technology improved?" Eisner asked.

"He has improved a lot." Linton laughed.

"Then I will have a good fight with you."

The weather was very hot, and Eisner felt uncomfortable. He adjusted his hat, glanced at the black pharaoh who was full of young people's extremely healthy and energetic complexion and figure, sighed secretly, then supported his body with a club, and bent over Put the ball on the tee, get into position, concentrate on gesticulating for a while, and then hit the ball with a strong swing.

Song Ya, who was exchanging eyes with Linton, immediately applauded, "Bravo!"

"Hehe, old..."

Eisner waved his hand with a wry smile, and when Song Ya had set up the ball and was aiming to hit it with his swing, he suddenly said, "By the way, APLUS, the child that the little star claimed...is yours?"

'Boom! '

Song Ya shook his hand, and the white golf ball drew an unsightly arc in the air, "It's none of my business anyway, Jobs didn't recognize his illegitimate daughter..." He could only speak stiffly.

"Hahaha!"

Eisner laughed, and when Linton finished his tee shot, he took the lead.

His majesty remained the same. He refused to discuss in depth how to view the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, and even spied a few words on the development of DreamWorks Animation. However, since he is willing to attend the appointment, his attitude is generally good, which also shows that he has started to mend the relationship with the two of them. And establish some kind of tacit agreement.

"He's still taking chances..."

But Song Ya was still dissatisfied. Of course, he gave an ultimatum tactfully. After saying goodbye to the old man politely, he looked at the golf cart going away and complained to Linton.

"Otherwise? Jobs hasn't expressed his opinion yet."

Linton was much more nervous. The trigger for the convening of the EGM was already in the hands of the party and Roy Disney's alliance, but the key to whether the meeting could achieve the intended goal was in the hands of the Jobs camp. Running around to communicate, but the two sides do not have much mutual trust at all.

Linton gritted his teeth, "Katenberg is already negotiating with Paramount."

"Anyway, let's see the real chapter next month."

Can't wait any longer, mainly because Katzenberg can't wait, David Geffen and Spielberg have confirmed the sale of DreamWorks Film Studios to Paramount's parent company Viacom, the transaction will probably be completed by the end of the year, the tycoon Lei Shidong is not a good person, he is threatening and luring Katzenberg, and Katzenberg himself is not willing to face the fate of not being able to get into Disney or going to Paramount, so his DreamWorks animation will immediately be destroyed. Will fall into internal and external difficulties.

They were talking about His Majesty the Emperor, and His Majesty the Emperor was watching them.

Eisner turned his head and saw the two chatting and walking, and then went up to the top of the green. Under the flag fluttering in the wind, the black pharaoh was casually waving the silver square... Golf club, his front The loyal minister Linton followed behind him.

Gradually, the two people on the green gradually turned into two small dots in sight.

"Michael, what did Jobs say? You'll have a hard time getting through this time without his nod."

He kept this meeting strictly confidential, and George Mitchell, who was unaware, was still pinning his hopes on Jobs, "After Apple's new product launch event on September 7th is a good time."

Due to physical reasons, Jobs has become more and more low-key, but every time Apple releases a new product, he will appear intensively before and after Apple releases it, bringing the goods in person, explaining ideas in interviews and technology activities, etc...

"How was Paulson talking to him?" Eisner asked.

"same as usual."

George Mitchell asked: "If, I mean, if you were ousted at the EGM and Jobs refused to come, would you turn to Roberto Iger or someone else to take over as CEO?"

"You don't have any other ideas, you must firmly support me to prevent the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders."

Eisner is well aware that things have come to this point, and his value to the Goldman Sachs-George Mitchell alliance is getting lower and lower. We must firmly oppose Goldman Sachs using anyone as a backup, otherwise they will reach a deal with the backup, 100% Abandoning myself, "I won't wait until the shareholders' meeting is held. If I can't stop it, I will resign voluntarily, so that at least I can keep some dignity."

At the same time, he also knows that Goldman Sachs, one of the world's top investment banks, as a shareholder of Disney, is inconvenient to keep talking like Black Pharaoh and Jobs, who have close business contacts with Disney. The appeal of shareholders will be greatly reduced.

A shareholders meeting with a fixed time is no problem, they can provide support by publishing research reports, investment suggestions, etc., but an extraordinary shareholders meeting with an indefinite time is not so convenient...

"And then?" George Mitchell asked.

"Then I turn my people around to support people you don't like."

In the last stand, Goldman Sachs must be firmly tied to his chariot with the courage to die together!

"His people?"

After receiving the report from George Mitchell, Paulson complained disdainfully, "If he drags on, his people will almost be hollowed out by Linton, the board of supervisors."

"There are still some high-level people who are loyal to him, such as the two key positions of chief financial officer and legal officer..."

George Mitchell said: "He can still influence some shareholders, after all, he has been in power for more than 20 years."

"I picked a possible replacement."

For Jobs who is more selfish and domineering, it is better for Goldman Sachs to keep Eisner, and Robert Iger is not good either. It is almost equal to the spokesperson of Jobs’ interests, and Linton, who wears a pair of pants with the black pharaoh, is not considered. , "George Bodenheimer, president of ESPN and ABC Sports."

"Now? Is it too late?" George Mitchell asked.

"It's not too late. Shareholders are tired of their three-way fight. At this time, a fresh face appears in sight, and the performance and management ability are good. It will have a miraculous effect."

Paulson replied: "But this matter must be kept secret first. If Eisner finds out, he will definitely go crazy."

"Bordenheimer is now on Robert Iger's side, and he agrees?"

"agreed."

"Um……"

George Mitchell thought about it, and felt feasible, "Remind you, at the last moment, Eisner is likely to leave the inheritance to Linton who has betrayed him, not us." The old fox has a good nose for years of power, " Don't forget that his youngest son is doing very well in the investment bank of APLUS, and the relationship between the three of them is not as bad as the outside world thinks."

"I am also paying attention to Anders, he is very courageous..."

"Can you work on Anders? Eisner should like the youngest son the most."

"It's more difficult..."

The current financial derivatives market is very hot, and countless Wall Street newcomers are riding the wind. To these people, Goldman Sachs and other big investment banks are nothing. Anders, the pair of broker brothers of the New York Donkey Party, who often hang out together, and this behavior is too low for his own identity, "Forget it, it's too late to get involved with his family now, the Eisner family It’s not an upstart who has never heard of it or seen it.”

"Right……"

"In short, it's best to keep Eisner in the short term. You take some time to meet Jobs quietly with me. Let's try to see if we can keep him temporarily."

"He wants to see us?"

"Yeah, I got Larry Ellison to help."

"OK."

It was not until the end of August that Jobs met with the two at home, and then fell silent.

"Steve, they are right. Katzenberg is about to lose the pressure. As long as you keep silent and keep the suspense until the end of the year, Katzenberg will bow to Redstone. In this way, Disney will not only keep Pixar Animation, no more options."

Larry Ellison, who sent people back, persuaded: "At that time, you and Robert Iger can cooperate with each other and achieve each other."

"The problem now is..."

Jobs said leisurely, "I have to express my attitude before the EGM, otherwise Eisner will not be able to leave, and if Eisner does not leave, he can always find a way to prevent my influence from entering Disney with Robert. At that time, Goldman Sachs and Who will George Mitchell support? How much are their verbal commitments worth today?"

"For Goldman Sachs, you have a common interest with them, driving out the alliance of APLUS, Linton, Katzenberg..."

Larry Ellison replied: "After that, Eisner didn't matter anymore."

"Eisner has become more and more like a puppet of Goldman Sachs. Will they be willing to replace Eisner with Robert?"

Jobs shook his head, "As one of Disney's institutional major shareholders, Goldman Sachs is willing to sit back and watch APLUS take away the record business?"

"Paulson is sick of APLUS because of the Wolf of Wall Street."

Larry Ellison said: "It could really screw up his career as Treasury secretary."

"Is the chairman of Goldman Sachs so emotional?" Jobs asked back.

Larry Ellison smiled and shook his head, "Hehe, I feel that you are all very emotional. For example, you, Steve, you just want to see Eisner go away, the sooner the better, right?"

Jobs seemed to be amused by this sentence, and an increasingly rare smile climbed onto his thinning face, not to say that he seldom smiled, but he laughed a lot in public, and he also laughed in private when socializing or spending time with his wife and daughter. But he couldn't tell how much of it was forced out of it...

"For this war, the biggest problem is that APLUS is too rich..."

In the afternoon in New York, Buffett, who was secretly eating Disney's Civil War melon, put down the newspaper. The picture on it was Song Ya, who had broken up with Amy, accompanied his ex-wife Mariah Carey and Little Rega, and the family of three appeared in California Disneyland. Empty around, titled 'Composite? APLUS, who has just finished a long-distance love run with American actress Amy Adams, booked a whole day at Disneyland just to please his ex-wife, mother and son. '

Of course Rhaegar's face happened to be blocked by the balloon.

The dignified stock god is actually reading the British Sun newspaper, "So everyone can't use the method of targeting his other businesses to make him quit, so everyone is acting like a sheep..."

"APLUS has made a fortune in Chinese concept stocks again this month."

My old friend Munger was reading the serious financial news, and put down the newspaper to joke, "If you regard him as a fund, the 15-year comprehensive return on investment will be much higher than the two of us...even if you just bought it Not long after Warner Records, he still has a fund that can be used to sue Fox Films for the proceeds of the Titanic. Although according to Murdoch's character, he will do everything possible to renege on the debt, but no one is sure, right? If APLUS is reconciling There is no reason for Murdoch not to seize this opportunity with a big step back in terms of the amount.”

"Ha ha!"

Buffett laughed, "Murdoch and Redstone should hope that Disney will continue to maintain this balance and keep chaotic, just like AOL Time Warner... So this money can also be counted as a bullet in Murdoch's hand. If If APLUS really can't stand it..."

"Oh! That kid has a new move."

Munger was still listening to the radio at the same time, and he shared one earphone with an old friend.

‘Warner Music Group CEO Doug Morris announced that he has reached an acquisition intention with Metropolis Publishing Company, and the entire transaction will be carried out in the form of a share swap. '
