Entertainment: Start with Succubus and play Hollywood

After getting off the sleigh, Martin and Drew followed Chris Wedge and his party to the gate of the small building.

There is a pond outside the gate of the small building.

Chris Wedge pointed to the pond and said:"Last June, for several weeks, there was a lonely swan in it. I don't know if it was separated from its partner."

"We fed it for a few weeks and we all got along very well, but one morning, it flew away, hoping that it would find its other half."

"Why did you move your office here? Didn't you start your business in New York?"

Hearing Martin's question, the six founders all laughed.

It was Chris Wedge who said:"Yes, the office where we started our business was on the second floor of a dentist's office in Briarcliff Manor, New York.. It's better than some guys starting a business in their garage, but it's not much better."

"It's so noisy, I can hear the sound of drilling and grinding my teeth every day. Later, when we got rich, we found an office location in New York, on the edge of Manhattan, which is still our branch. Miss Drew went there."

Drew Barrymore nodded,"A nice place."

"Yes, it's just too small. We needed a bigger place, but the rent in New York was too expensive, and we didn’t want to spend all our money on renting an expensive office area, so AlisonBrown made a suggestion, why don’t we leave New York? Find a remote location and rent a big house"

"After everyone discussed it, we felt it made sense, and finally we chose this place - quiet, no one to disturb, big place, good scenery... After work, we all stayed in the small building to drink coffee, play pool and have fun. game……"

As Chris Wedge narrated, several other founders kept nodding.

Martin finally figured it out. These guys didn't like the hustle and bustle of big cities. They all belonged to the homebody type. No wonder they could play together.

Entering the small building, Martin followed the six founders to visit their workshops.

This place is not as neatly arranged as the offices of those large companies, and there are no partitions that divide the workstations into small rooms. Instead, computers are placed on both sides of a huge long table, and employees Not many, about seven or eight, and the surrounding environment seemed messy...

But Martin actually felt that this kind of"messiness" made him feel more comfortable looking at it than the"orderly" ones - look at the snacks piled together, There are animation drafts on the table, comic books, instant coffee scattered randomly on the table, and video games plugged in and paused on the TV... This kind of chaos gives people a warm feeling.

It's like returning to your own nest!

For Chris Wedge and others, this is their nest, their home

"We do not strictly stipulate the working hours of employees here. You can go to work when you want, when you want to get off work, or even work at home, as long as you can complete the task within the specified time."

"When you are tired from work, you can go play billiards, play games, drink coffee, and eat snacks. Oh, we also have a karaoke room here. If you want to roar a few times to vent your stress, it’s no problem."

"This large office specializes in computer special effects and three-dimensional animation."

"This room is our brainstorming room, where our inspirations come from."

"This is a meditation room, specially provided for colleagues who like silence"

"here……"

Chris Wedge took Martin and Drew to visit their headquarters and gave an introduction. Martin liked the free atmosphere here, but he also knew that this method was only suitable for small studios and not for large companies, otherwise it would be chaos. Increase huge management costs

"So Mr. Martin, do you really want to acquire our studio? How to acquire? Exchange for shares or cash? Martin did not speak, but Drew said:"Cash acquisition, we have talked before. After the acquisition is completed, you management and employees will not make any changes. Meyers Films will also inject funds to prepare for the next animated film." , all animated film copyrights belong to Meyers Films, and management can get incentive stock options, but only dividend rights……"

Drew stated the terms discussed with Martin in advance, and Chris Wedge and others nodded frequently.

…………

That night, when Martin returned to the hotel, he immediately called his financial team to fly to Greenwich, Connecticut, to review the financial situation and prepare for the final acquisition.

The next day, after Martin invited the six founders of Blue Sky Studio to have a sumptuous lunch, he took Drew on a plane to Los Angeles.

They are no longer needed for the rest of the matter. They just need to wait for the final financial review to be completed and sign the final contract.

Two days later.

Los Angeles, Disney Headquarters.

Michael Eisner got a call.

On the other side of the phone is his confidant - Reed McCas

"~Mr. Eisner, we may have been a little late. When we arrived, Blue Sky Studios had already reached a preliminary acquisition agreement with Meyers Pictures and was now undergoing financial liquidation."

"Walter, who? Meyers Films? Martin Meyers?"

Michael Eisner was stunned.

"Is he going to acquire Blue Sky Studio?"

The Disney tyrant, who has aged rapidly in the past year, frowned.

After thinking for a while, he said:"Reed, you and your people continue to stay there and contact the people at Blue Sky Studio. I will give Martin Make a call."

After hanging up the phone with Reed McCas, Michael Eisner sat there and hesitated.

If he had been two years ago, he would have never hesitated. He would have called Martin and ordered him to give up the acquisition. Blue Sky Studio.

But things are different now. Now he is embattled on all sides in the board of directors. The voices of opposition are getting more and more loud. If Martin’s voting rights for part of the shares were not in his hands, he would really (get the promise). Zhao) feels a little unable to hold on.

Since last year, the power in his hands has been gradually eroded by Robert Iger, who is backed by Roy Disney. As the power in his hands shrinks, Michael Eisner’s mental state also declines. It’s getting worse. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

""Power" is the best spiritual food in the world. Without this"spiritual food", Michael Eisner's appearance becomes visibly older.

He can clearly feel the side effects of aging - his thinking is not as sharp as before, his energy is It was no longer as prosperous as before.

Coupled with Martin's series of achievements over the years, the famous Hollywood dictator had to hesitate when facing Martin.

After a while,

Michael Eisner picked up the phone. Called out

"Hello, Martin, how are you doing?"
