Entertainment: Start with Succubus and play Hollywood

"What did Robert Iger promise you? No, or what did Roy Disney promise you?"

Martin continued to ask.

Steve Jobs hesitated for a moment, maybe thinking that there was nothing to hide, so he said:"Disney has about 18% of its shares, 12% of which are used to exchange shares with Pixar, and the remaining 6% are used to exchange shares with Pixar. % is privately held by me"

"So, not half?"Martin chuckled.

Steve Jobs was not embarrassed either. Bragging and lying in business negotiations are nothing.

"Well, not half."He nodded.

"6%? That would also make you Disney's largest shareholder, and it's still impossible for Michael to agree. Haha, it seems that he can only give me so much."

"With my billion, plus an additional 12% of stock at his disposal, he can at least impress other Pixar executives."

"Haha, what a beautiful thought." Steve Jobs sneered,"Even though I have sold some Pixar shares one after another in order to buy back Apple's shares, I still own 20% of Pixar shares and am also the chairman of the board. Who dares to go behind my back~ and Michael touch! ?"

Martin also sneered in his heart. From Huaxia Martin's memory, he saw that after Jobs sold Pixar, no one in Pixar, from the top managers to the bottom cleaners, had a good word to say about him.

This guy and Michael Eisner In fact, they are the same kind of people——-tyrant!

When this kind of person leads everyone to conquer the"world", they can use their decision-making ability and one-word speech to make everyone use their strength in one place.

But when the time comes to rule the world, it is inevitable that everyone will betray their relatives and leave their relatives.

This was true when Steve Jobs was driven out by Apple shareholders, and it was also true when Michael Eisner was driven out by Disney shareholders.

Martin's heart moved.

Is it because Michael Eisner was so eager to sell his shares because he was forced to do so?

Although this guy single-handedly brought Disney out of the quagmire, he is also a"little bastard who doesn't feel sorry for himself". If I let him have a premonition that he will step down, can I let this old man take advantage of the power while he still has it? , sell Disney shares to me?

18% is unlikely, but 6% is also good!

(PS: Michael Eisner never felt bad about spending Disney’s money. He once let his friend Michael Ovitz join Disney to become Disney’s CEO, while he himself focused on the board of directors. But within half a year, the two fell out. , in order to get rid of his friends, Michael Eisner directly gave him a sky-high retirement payment of US$120 million.

Also in 2004, Comcast CEO Brian Roberts tried to acquire Disney for US$66 billion. This offer was rejected by most of Disney's directors. refused. So Brian Roberts simply negotiated privately with Michael Eisner, hoping to swallow up Disney through this tyrant. Michael Eisner was almost convinced. At that time, he already had a premonition that he would step down, but in the end, this The deal was still stopped by Roy Disney and the board of directors.

At the same time, it was also because of Michael Eisner's wavering performance in this acquisition that the Disney board of directors firmly decided to oust him.) In

2004, Michael Eisner Roy Disney and Robert Iger have teamed up to clean up most of his cronies, and his control over Disney is also in turmoil.

But it's only 2002, Roy Disney and Robert Iger's cleanup has not yet begun, and Michael Eisner is still Disney's chairman and CEO, wielding all the power.

It seems like there is a good chance...

Martin touched his chin, and he could also secretly contact Roy Disney and Robert Iger, promising to support them in getting rid of Michael Eisner after getting the shares. Presumably this is where Steve Jobs came in. Supported.

For someone like Steve Jobs who only had half a foot in the entertainment industry, wouldn't a complete Hollywood creature like himself be a better ally?

Martin has no psychological discomfort with ousting Michael Eisner. The old man has indeed become outdated, and Disney's future has indeed exploded to greater glory in the hands of Robert Iger.

Since Robert Iger can make his stocks more valuable, why not support him?

Steve Jobs didn't notice anything strange about Martin. He couldn't help it, this guy's acting skills were so good.

He was also trying to persuade Martin to abandon negotiations with Michael Eisner over a share sale. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

He said:"It's useless. Although Michael is still the chairman of Disney, his control over the board of directors is already very weak. I can tell you that his position Not long ago"

"It's ridiculous that this guy is still seeking a higher pension for himself - half a billion dollars, can you imagine? Isn't this pushing all the directors to be against him? This is taking money out of the pockets of those directors."

"He used to be able to make money for those directors, a lot of money, and those directors could tolerate this guy's tyranny and lavish spending. But now the situation is different. Disney began to lose money in his hands, and the stock also plummeted. Those directors every day They were losing money every day and they were already dissatisfied with Michael."

"Behind me is Robert Eagle, and behind Robert Eagle there are other people. They are a huge force, the anti-Michael force."

"Moreover, I still own 20% of Pixar shares! My trump card is bigger. You can't compete with Martin, so give up!"

Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh...

Martin hummed, seemingly listening, but in fact, an idea was slowly taking shape in his mind.

Suddenly, he interrupted Steve Jobs's chatter and asked directly :

"Steve, if you could get two billion, would you give up your claim for Disney shares?

Steve Jobs was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while he said,"I can accept this offer.""

Two billion dollars to buy 20% of his shares is already a huge premium, and of course he can accept it. After all,

Pixar's current total market value is only a little over two billion dollars, and has not yet reached its peak market value of 20 billion dollars.".

And Steve Jobs is not actually obsessed with Disney's shares. After all, he did not expect that Disney would become a giant with a market capitalization of trillions in the future and the world's number one entertainment company.

Compared to the entertainment industry, Steve Jobs still wanted to My mind is focused on the apple, which is his"biological son", and the others are all"illegitimate children"!
