Chapter 1510 Hurricane

"Can you... wait until I come back from Xiangjiang?"

Jobs made it clear that Eisner would never be honorable if he did not take the initiative to resign, but everyone underestimated the paranoia of His Majesty the Emperor. The officials participating in the ceremony over there are very high-ranking, Disney must at least maintain its corporate image before then, right? Otherwise, we will become the laughing stock of the whole world...you...what do you think, Roy?"

September 12th is the big day for the opening of Hong Kong Disneyland, and Disney heads will go there. He used this incident as an excuse. On the night of the 7th, he took the initiative to call Roy Disney who had been expelled and humiliated by him, begging in a low voice The other party postponed the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders.

"Oh Come on! Michael, do you think you still have a chance? Impossible... If I knew it earlier, why did it happen like this! Huh?"

Revenge is always sweet. Roy Disney on the other end of the phone was overjoyed and replied in a tone of voice: "Don't worry, I won't allow Disney to be ashamed. Before September 20th, everyone doesn't want to make things too ugly."

As the leader of the Save Disney Movement, Roy has always been in charge of the EGM. It takes time to convene the meeting. The 20th is actually the fastest time, at least one month faster than expected.

Of course, this doesn't affect his pretending to be tolerant in front of Eisner who is like a bereaved dog.

Winners are always forgiving.

"Okay, thank you, Roy...thank you."

Eisner humbly thanked him again and again. It's not that he didn't know that it would take some time to complete the process of the extraordinary shareholders meeting, but Jobs' raid during the day made him in despair. The downplaying attitude at that time hit him even more mentally, and Jobs didn't even bother to mention the name of Disney.

The emperor was inevitably panicked, but he still tried to survive and never gave up until the last moment. "By the way, you will keep Pixar, right? Roy..."

In order to get rid of me, Roy Disney currently maintains friendly relations with Jobs and the APLUS camp, but when I really leave? Roy must have preferred Jobs and Robert Iger, who had been allied longer.

Then the conflict between them and the APLUS-Linton camp will erupt!

Maybe I can find an opportunity from it!

"Those don't bother you."

Roy Disney put down his words and hung up, "Alas..." Finally he got what he wanted, the old man let out a long sigh of relief, and thought about it for a while, and then picked up the microphone again to inform his allies.

"The 20th shareholders' meeting is scheduled,

Eisner may continue to struggle for a few more days, but there's no chance. "

Jobs personally told Robert Iger, "Roy doesn't need to worry, let Goldman Sachs-George Mitchell support you to take over as CEO and keep Pixar plan, and formally inform them that I am willing to sell and seek cooperation..."

"OK!"

With less than two weeks to go before the CEO throne, Robert Eggben was skeptical of his ally Jobs' delay in rejecting Eisner's invitation. After all, Jobs has always been ruthless in the business world. Now it's all set. That's it, no problem, you can go all out for the final sprint.

In addition to joy, when Jobs personally announced during the day that he would stay at Apple, his first reaction was a little regretful. Since he chose to procrastinate, he might as well procrastinate to the end of Katzenberg Mountain. He had to bow his head under the pressure of Redstone before refusing. The Disney CEO position seems to be a little better. Without the competition from DreamWorks, it will be more stable to introduce Pixar to Disney in the future.

But he quickly figured out why Jobs did this. The next main battle would be the extraordinary shareholders meeting, that is, how to please and win the support of shareholders to the greatest extent.

APLUS previously let Warner Music acquire Metropolitan Publishing Company, which once again strengthened the question of "whether the A+ record business can be retained". This is to set the agenda in advance. Lost the attention of small and medium shareholders at the meeting on the 20th, at least part of the focus was taken away.

The later the agenda appears and the closer it is to the EGM, the more concerned shareholders will be.

Regardless of whether Katzenberg bows to Redstone in the end, at present, he can at least grit his teeth and persist until December. It is only September, and Katzenberg can still make a gesture of willingness to join Disney without hindrance. , United APLUS, Linton and our side to fight.

So no matter what, you can't count on this, and you must resolutely recognize the reality.

At today's new product launch conference, Jobs stated that he would stay, and at the same time, he was able to cleverly please Apple users and shareholders to the greatest extent, raising weight for his long-term resistance to the invasion of APLUS and Amelio on Apple's front.

As expected of Jobs, well done!

It was him who was vying to be the CEO, and he had to win it by himself after all. Robert Iger knew that it was time for him to fully unleash his firepower. After thinking for a while, he called George Mitchell and learned that the other party was still in In the headquarters building, I hurried out to meet him.

"There are only twelve days left until the twentieth..."

Song Ya's side over there also got the news, and Linton calculated the time in his mind, "I have an appointment with Roy tomorrow...APLUS, can you come back from Silicon Valley?"

"No, I'm going to New Orleans..."

Song Ya replied: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether I am present or not. Don't worry Linton, I will do my best here, but it mainly depends on you."

Of course Linton knew this. After all, he was fighting for CEO. "New Orleans? Oh yes."

On the 23rd of last month, the super hurricane Katrina swept across the southern part of the United States, causing at least hundreds of deaths and countless displacements. The oil production capacity in the Gulf of Mexico was severely damaged. The ruling Georgian dynasty did nothing for the first few days. Fake, on the 27th he announced the state of emergency in the affected states one after another, and on the 31st he agreed to use the strategic oil reserve. New Orleans was completely in chaos. Various zero-yuan purchases, robberies, murders and other criminal activities broke out, so disaster relief There is no charter yet, but the armored vehicles of the National Guard and nearly 10,000 heavily armed military police drove past first, creating a splendid scene.

Oh, by the way, neighboring Mexico also sent soldiers to help with disaster relief, so 159 years later, the Mexican army returned to the United States.

Now that the order in New Orleans has been slightly restored, it is a good time to build up the prestige of charity in the past. The proportion of blacks in downtown New Orleans is very high.

"Paulson seems to be in East Asia. Eisner probably went to Xiangjiang to meet him." Linton reminded again.

"Well, I'm going back to Los Angeles on the twelfth, and there will be an Emmy Awards ceremony on the thirteenth, and we'll meet again then."

Song Ya ordered those who participated in the conference call one by one: "Doug, I need your help to continue to make news during this time, and keep mentioning that after Warner Records acquires Metropolitan Publishing Company, it may further acquire A+ Records and Metropolitan Records, and will Their distribution is about to take away from Disney ... Sloan will work with you."

"Okay, I know what to do." Warner Music CEO Doug Morris agreed.

"Sloan, mobilize all the public opinion energy we can mobilize."

"OK."

"Mr. Amelio, please help us continue to harass Apple."

"no problem!"

"Eremov, create momentum for our Twilight series movie project to be distributed by Warner Pictures, unless..."

"Unless Disney shareholders make choices at the meeting that meet our expectations."

"That's right! Uh, what else?" Song Ya asked.

"I ask Katzenberg to hold Harvey down?"

Linton knew that although Harvey was at odds with his own side, he had been actively running around earlier and supported the introduction of Katzenberg's DreamWorks Animation. Now the situation has changed. Goldman Sachs and George Mitchell have played Katzenberg. If Harvey is playing tricks, our side may win him over, "If Harvey's offer is suitable..."

"Yes, it's best to let Katzenberg do it. Harvey's attitude doesn't have much impact on the shareholders' meeting, so there's no need to spend too much energy on him." Song Ya agreed.

"I understand that in these twelve days, I will win the support of as many shareholders as possible." Linton said.

"Eisner, pay attention to Eisner, starting today, he may send out a signal at any time to seek the final deal."

Sloan reminded, "You can't win without Eisner's legacy."

On the second day, all parties acted crazily. Song Ya and Mariah Carey set off for New Orleans, and Eisner called Disney's chief financial officer and legal officer to the office. Let's run with George, we leave on the tenth."

This is his last little court, CFO and CLO looked at each other, "Okay." The two hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded one after another.

"Um!"

Eisner was so moved by their loyalty that he was choked up, with tears in his eyes, and silently sighed and patted the arms of the two, "The voyage is very long, pay attention to rest these two days."

"Me, you, Jobs, Robert, it seems that the only way to win is to cooperate with the Jobs-Robert alliance, and Roy...Roy may not support some of our issues."

In the chairman's office, George Mitchell was on the phone with Paulson. He calculated with his fingers, "Eisner wants to see you, but that guy is still taking chances... that's fine, let's keep him safe."

"How can we be lucky?" Paulson couldn't think of any possibility of breaking the game.

"Isn't the EGM going to re-elect all directors?" George Mitchell replied.

Paulson frowned, "Eisner resigned, those people's goals have been achieved, just choose a director and CEO to succeed him."

"It's not enough, Roy wants to push his son back, otherwise he's going to bother..."

George Mitchell said: "Steve Jobs and APLUS both support this, so let's shuffle the cards, gamble and take risks together."

"Okay, I'll see him."

"So do we support Harvey? He sees another opportunity to sneak into the boardroom."

"First coax him to do things for us with all his heart."

After discussing with George Mitchell for a long time, Paulson rubbed his brows and opened the curtains, looking out at the beautiful scenery of pavilions, buildings and a pool of clear water.

To become the finance minister is the eager expectation of Wall Street and Goldman Sachs officials in the Ministry of Finance. Unexpectedly, the George dynasty would hesitate because of a movie, and Purcell, who is about to leave Morgan Stanley, joins the competition... Everyone is the chairman and CEO of their respective investment banks, and the whole thing has become a little uncertain.

Goldman Sachs has no culture of pity for losers...

APLUS...

It is Goldman Sachs' will to try to steal control of Disney, but revenge against APLUS is certainly not. It is his own little secret, and although many people can see it, it is still a secret.

Since it's a secret, it can't be known all over the city. Disney has already put in too much energy, and investors don't like it when they always plunge into the muddy water and fight mud.

Jobs...

How good is it for Goldman Sachs to introduce Jobs, who has a strong desire for control, in order to defeat APLUS?

After Jobs returned to Apple, he drove Amelio away and was humiliated afterwards.

Amelio also called today to help APLUS speak for himself.

Yes, Jobs' character can tolerate Goldman Sachs? Don't let Jobs make a meme similar to the worst CEO in history...

But damn I've already been stalked by APLUS!

'brush! '

Thinking about this, he drew the curtains abruptly.

"There are all of them, don't worry, there are all of them! Come one by one!"

On the 9th, Song Ya and Mariah Carey wore white T-shirts with words of support and the logo of the charitable organization "Where is the Love" appeared in New Orleans, which was still in a swamp. They stood in the trailer of a truck to distribute clothes, food, and purity Although the water and other disaster relief items were posed for photos under strict security measures, and they were located in less disaster-stricken and safer communities, the gangsters at the scene still swarmed up and snatched desperately.

Bodyguards such as Silencer, who also wore the same white T-shirt, struggled to maintain order.

The ex-wife was not affected, and presented a bag of clothes to a little black girl with a POSE hand.

"I told you not to grab it! That Nger!"

My cousin Connie, who received a high salary from a charity organization, also came. Her eyes were sharp and she spotted an old black man who was snatching paper rolls from other victims. She pointed at him and yelled at him: "That's him! Hit him! Hit him M-FXXK!"

Someone really was instigated by her to punch that old black.

"It's being recorded!" Song Ya was very tired, and quickly pulled Connie's clothes, suppressing her voice to stop: "You M-FXXK, don't help!"

"Almost ready."

The victims who heard the news were still coming, and the photographer raised his machine to respond with a pale face, hoping to clock out of get off work quickly.

"Continue, let's talk about it after sending out this car..."

Song Ya has seen photos of similar occasions sent by Scout, who has changed his career as a defense supplier, in Afghanistan. Although the order at the scene may not be as good as there, the disaster victims in the United States have much richer money. Many people are holding up their mobile phones to take pictures. People It was impossible to fall into the same pit for the second time, Song Ya pulled Connie and her ex-wife who were planning to go back to the hotel immediately, so as not to make a living.

"It's exhausting."

The half-gift and half-robbed ones were sent out very quickly, and the trailer was empty in ten minutes. Song Ya and his party hurriedly got into the bulletproof car and escaped. Cholera."

"Yes...is it?"

Song Ya was taken aback, "Then let's go back after finishing the donation ceremony and charity performance."

No way, the richest man in the ethnic group also has a burden. If you don’t make this trip, donate more money and hold enough charity performances, you can’t stand being kidnapped by morality.

MJ has left the US, and I am the only one who can take the lead in these matters...

"you?"

On the other side of Los Angeles, Linton was already rushing to visit powerful people among the institutional shareholders, but unexpectedly ran into Harvey in a similar social occasion as last time. He frowned and looked at him suspiciously.

Considering that Katzenberg told Harvey that he couldn't satisfy his request for a board seat, it might not be possible...

"Ha!" Harvey was very thick-skinned, and he was calm about the embarrassing encounter, "What a coincidence!"

"What are you doing here?" Linton demanded him.

"Everyone is canvassing votes, isn't it?" Harvey shrugged and answered carelessly.

"Forget it before, let's make an agreement Harvey, stop here! If you..."

It was a matter of success or failure in the end, so Linton stopped hiding and threatened with a straight face.

"How? Bite me?"

Unexpectedly, Harvey interrupted him disrespectfully, "Let's find a chance to talk about this after the 20th, Linton, if you're still in Disney, hahaha..." Then he laughed arrogantly and left.

Linton was really pissed off this time, and a deep resentment flashed in his eyes.

On the 10th, the Disney team arrived in Xiangjiang. Eisner, who was exhausted from the journey, was just about to change clothes and go to bed to catch jet lag, when the chief financial officer knocked on the door and entered.

"Is something wrong, Staggs."

"Uh, BOSS, Robert hopes you can support him when the twentieth arrives."

The CFO's words caught him off guard.

"you……"

"me too."

"you……"

"Yes, you know what we have."
