His tech hero looked at another person present: Comcast Chairman Roberts Jr.
"It started over there."
In Manhattan, Goldman Sachs Chairman Paulson also just put down his mobile phone, "How many Disney stocks do we have now?" He asked his subordinates.
"If Roy is kicked out of the board today, we will continue to absorb." He ordered when he got a number.
"The last agenda..."
There was an undercurrent surging outside, but there were no waves in the meeting room until Eisner read: "About revising the age limit for board members..."
Everyone's eyes are on Roy Disney.
Roy, who has always shown a low-key and talkative image, opened his eyes and faced the emperor's eyes without letting go.
Eisner snorted lightly with his nostrils, "I think this rule is good for keeping the board of directors alive and does not need to be revised. What do you think? Roy..."
coming!
His Majesty the Emperor looked at the other people in the meeting room, and everyone looked back, watching their noses, and their hearts.
Only a few high-level executives who thought they were just going through a program today looked up in surprise, their eyes blank.
"Then start voting." Eisner was very satisfied with his control.
"and many more!"
Roy suddenly stopped, "Before voting, I want to say a few words."
"Yes." Eisner didn't want to be too stingy, but also wanted to see what splashes could arise from the old man who had been suppressed by him in his life. It's best to take advantage of the trend to find out some internal traitors who had conspired to contact Roy.
"My colleagues."
Roy was obviously prepared, got up, took out a speech from his pocket, "If you start with Evox Disney Commercial Art Company, my family and I have served this company for more than 80 years..."
"Today, I think we have to make changes. I personally thank Mr. Eisner for his dedication and service to the company for many years. But for a new century, I think we need more adaptable management talents to help us run this business. The company, in the Internet industry... we have invested hugely, but to be honest, it has failed..."
Roy casually signaled to the leaders of the acquired Internet company such as the founder of Infoseek Kirsch, who was shrinking in the crowd, that Disney had spent countless money on them, but lost his pants after the Internet bubble burst.
"I'm 72 years old and I'm old. I don't have much nostalgia for whether or not I can continue to be a director. But, Michael, you are also in your sixties, your body... I'm sorry I say that, it's no better than me. Where to go."
He looked at His Majesty the Emperor, and saw him, "I think it's time for us to let go, and put the power in the hands of young people, Michael..."
"I don't remember having an agenda about me today, Roy."
Want to play the limit with me for one change! ? Unexpectedly, you dare to be the one who has always counseled you? !
His Majesty was furious in his heart and spoke in a cold tone.
"Just add an agenda and wait for the announcement at the shareholders meeting next year."
It seems that Roy has made up his mind to fight back. "Today..." He looked at Robert Iger in the distance.
His Majesty the emperor's heart made a great alarm, and his eyes followed.
Robert Iger's eyes widened, seeming to be very surprised by Roy's doing this, and he quickly looked loyal to the Emperor with fear.
"Sorry, Mr. Disney, according to the procedure, we will not discuss anything outside of the scheduled agenda today."
Linton quickly shared his worries for the Lord.
Unexpectedly, his majesty glared displeasedly, as if dissatisfied with someone on his side, showing timidity in public.
"Ok, I understand."
Roy didn't bother, "In short, if you vote me out of the board of directors today, I will resign from all positions in the company at the same time and leave this company completely. You can consider it yourself."
He looked at His Majesty the Emperor again, "Michael, it is a pity that our relationship has reached this point..."
"what!"
Eisner was happy instead, wouldn't it be better? "Are you really going to do this? Roy, today I'm just discussing the stay of the board members. I have no opinion on your contribution to the management of the animation company. Don't regret it..."
"In short, please be cautious of your voting rights." Roy Disney ignored him, "Don't let Disney continue to be a greedy, soulless company that violates its original intentions..." Then he sat down.
"Start voting?" the board secretary asked.
"Would you like to let everyone take a break first and give us some time to think about it?" George Mitchell said suddenly, and then calmly accepted the dark eyes of the emperor's bet.
Harvey quickly moved his fat body to show his loyalty a little farther away from George Mitchell.
Linton, caught off guard, looked at His Majesty the Emperor.
"Can."
Eisner’s expression did not change, and he nodded in agreement. When he got up, he added to Roy: “Don’t forget, this company with no soul in your mouth has a market value of 2 billion liters under my leadership in 20 years. To more than 40 billion meters."
This is also for everyone, he was the first to leave the conference room.
Unexpectedly, this war had expanded like the name of the enlarged meeting. He felt a little bit annoyed by the decline in his control, but quickly returned to normal. It happened that he also needed to borrow this space to canvass for votes, and he chose to continue. To maintain the emperor's strength, let the cronies call Roy's high-level family members one by one to talk in the office.
People of all colors waited and left the meeting room while chatting slowly, but as soon as they left the sight of others, they immediately gathered in a small circle to discuss, or picked up their mobile phones to find a place to chat quietly.
"This is how the emperor's mind is used too much."
Song Ya vomited after receiving a phone call from Linton: "A control freak who could not let go before heart surgery, locked the successor list in the safe, and drove away Katzenberg and Ovitz. , Robert Iger or George Mitchell, who can still believe the bones he threw out."
"What's the use of saying these now? Today is really a taste of conspiracy. If Roy and Robert Iger and George Mitchell join forces, I'm afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will smash his head. You hurry up... call aplus." Linton urged: " Is it okay to meet some of their requirements appropriately?"
"All right."
Song Ya also knew that time was pressing, so it was better to immediately call the key figures of Bowei Pictures, Touchstone Pictures, and Disney Records who were not convenient for Linton.
"That idiot Roy chose to betray Robert Iger!"
In Silicon Valley, Larry Ellison hung up the phone and said annoyedly: "But I have to say that it is a pretty hand. Robert Iger began to fear whether he can survive today under the suspicious Disney emperor's power. In order to protect himself Bind him even more tightly... or let's fight our backs and start ahead of schedule?"
"Is there enough votes?" Jobs asked.
"Not enough, unless George Mitchell rebels together." The subordinates calculated the answer on a photo wall of all the participants.
The two turned their eyes to Roberts again, and Roberts, who was silent from beginning to end, shook his head.
"Don't look at me, I have a bad relationship with George."
As one of the few conservatives in Silicon Valley, Oracle founder Larry Ellison shrugged and refused to take the initiative to contact the former boss of the Donkey Party.
Jobs had to come by himself.
"Do not."
Little Roberts suddenly held down the microphone he picked up, "George Mitchell is now anxious for Robert Iger to jump out, Steve, it doesn't make any sense for us to make this call."
"I don't want Roy, Harvey."
In Manhattan, Paulson lay in the boss chair after a long test and said: "It is not as good for us as Eisner for the Disney family to stay there. At least Eisner has no boring extra emotional sustenance for Disney itself."
