"So? You went to John Malone, who was swept out by ATandT? Can the LMC company he re-established now give you Comcast's No. 1 channel resource?" Little Roberts was angry and asked.
"I know, but you guys have left me with no choice. This is a very simple math problem. One, plus one, equals two, exceeding the warning line! Bang! It's time to pull the trigger!"
"you…"
"I don't even have to open the board of directors, no! Have a meeting! Stamp! Then go! Go straight away! Just leave! M-FXXK will take the ACE station and go together!"
"You can calm down..."
"I'm like this, I'm like this, I'm sorry, Mr. Roberts, I have this kind of character... No way. But don't forget, my station and I have accompanied you Comcast from childhood to big step to today!"
Little Roberts was so quarrelsome that his ears hurt, so he had to pull the microphone away.
Old Roberts sat there, holding his forehead, and sighed softly.
"The ability to act is quite strong..."
In Manhattan, Paulson rolled his eyes and spit: "Eisner made up a timely quarterly report on the second day after receiving the offer. Jobs still charged before the 16th, and then APLUS turned his head and looked for others. Cable TV operator..."
"Where are we?" Harvey asked on the other end of the phone.
"George Mitchell is old and doesn't know how to operate, so we only have one goal, chairmanship, so..."
"Michael, everyone is asking, especially when the stock price was high yesterday, when you opened a board of directors with 60 billion yuan, wouldn't it be possible to kick the ball back to Comcast?"
George Mitchell is an independent director. He had to wait until tomorrow for the meeting. Before the lunch break, Disney’s stock price fell below 26. He made a surprise visit to Eisner’s office. I can speak for you."
"What the **** are you trying to say? George." Eisner asked impatiently, "I still have a lot of things!"
He is frantically calling the American Jewish Pension Fund, the California Public Service Fund and other institutional shareholders, and various financial institutions, seeking all the life-saving straws.
"Like Robert Iger said yesterday, we must now do everything we can to keep Jobs' Pixar animation, otherwise the market value of a maliciously acquired company will be ridiculous if it is not enough for the other party's offer...Who can afford this responsibility?"
"Then I will resign, and you will be the chairman?" Eisner heard blood rushing to his head, and asked quietly, "Anyway, I am leaving for Jobs' offer."
"This is a good way, Michael, I am about to quit the board of directors at the age of 72. We have worked together for so many years, and our wife and children are as close as a family. First, we will unite to tide over this difficulty, and then... everything It's still yours."
George Mitchell slapped a snake with a stick to persuade him to retreat. I don’t know how many times a senior politician has done this, and his face is even less valuable. "The time is not bad..." He took out a note from his arms. Put it on the table, "Or you write down the numbers you are thinking, and I swear to do so."
"what!"
Is this the price for yourself to pay severance pay? Eisner was not surprised. He sneered and pushed the note back. "Then I ask you, Jobs’ Pixar stays, APLUS’s A+ Entertainment and A+ Records, Metropolis Records are gone, what can you do?"
"Uh…"
George Mitchell was stunned, "There is always a way..."
At this time the phone rang, "BOSS, he will go." It was Linton's voice.
"Sorry, I have something else."
call! Eisner felt all the pressure in his body disappeared instantly, got up and pushed George Mitchell away roughly, and strode out.
‘Click, click...’
What followed was endless joy filling his chest, which almost killed him. He only heard the echo of his own footsteps in the corridor, dizzy, he leaned against the wall and quickly took out the quick-acting heart-saving medicine to his mouth. Lisay.
'boom! ’
Song Ya was hunting in John Malone's private forest. Pulling the trigger, the wild ducks flew around, but didn't see anything.
"I'll answer the call, Linton?" Song Ya took out the vibrating cell phone and motioned to John Malone who was hunting together, and then went to a quiet place with one ear plugged.
"He's here."
"Okay..." Song Ya smiled slightly, put away the phone and went back.
"There is still work?" John Malone asked.
"No, little thing."
"You have to practice APLUS..." John Malone laughed.
"When Disney returns to Comcast, I will have a lot of time to come and practice."
"Hahaha!"
"Where is Eisner?" In Manhattan, Paulson asked George Mitchell in wonder, this time there is no middleman Harvey.
"I don't know, it's okay now, the obese fat guy will definitely get revenge after passing the test." George Mitchell was also puzzled.
"Hello, Mr. Eisner."
"Hello, Bill."
In Los Angeles, Disney copyright company and Microsoft's MSN department have planned a small cooperative event roadshow. Eisner strode to meet the world's richest man with a harmless smile to himself: Bill Gates.
In the shutter sound of the bewildered reporters, the two hands clasped tightly together.
Disney stock rose sharply.
"It's **** it again."
Jobs cursed and closed his eyes for a while, "Now I can only look at Comcast himself."
"According to our closing price of 28 yesterday, Comcast's original share swap plan was worth $66 billion, so...54 billion? 54 billion? Huh? Huh?"
On the 16th, Eisner opened his hands on Disney’s board of directors and easily said to the directors: "I don't have to say what choice should I make?"
The directors all laughed happily, and George Mitchell also laughed sadly.
‘Disney’s board today rejected Comcast’s $54 billion hostile merger request on the grounds that the price was too low. It is reported that this decision of Disney’s board of directors was made after hiring Bear Stearns to conduct detailed consultation and evaluation on the acquisition...’
‘Will Comcast recover the premium commitment of 12 billion out of 66 billion to assume Disney’s debt? ’
‘After this week, Disney’s new market value is likely to discourage other bidders...’
‘The upstart seems to find that he can’t afford to marry Snow White...’
"The Disney Emperor..."
The takeover battle lasted for a few days, but its stock price dropped from nearly $34 to $31 or nearly two at the close, not counting the ammunition, contacts, etc. that the company and the family had launched...
Roberts and his son were lost for two days without any reaction to Disney's refusal, but on the 18th, seeing that the market will open again tomorrow Monday, I have to say something.
Little Roberts sighed and asked his father, "Shall we stick to their shareholder meeting at the beginning of next month?"
"Too messy, too many foxes want to use us."
Old Roberts shook his head, "Give up, it's time to stop the loss in time."
"Okay, but it's really unpleasant..."
Little Roberts shrugged, "But forget it, it's always the case anyway, win or lose..." He pressed the phone, "Send in the prepared speech."
"The price must be paid by the people who humiliated our family." Old Roberts reminded his son. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
"I know."
Later, Eisner was facing the list of Disney directors and senior executives such as George Mitchell and Robert Iger in the file in front of him, and suddenly realized that the time was up, he turned on the TV, and Comcast held the press conference on time. .
"After careful consideration, Comcast's board of directors decided to abandon the acquisition of Disney..." Little Roberts said calmly.
