"Is it Robert Iger just now?" Unexpectedly, Katzenberg also appeared.
"Yes." Linton didn't need to ask him where he came, and took the opportunity to provoke. "Jobs is going to leave by himself, and Robert is still running around and lobbying for him."
As the two talked, they noticed the presence of the Weinstein brothers, Harvey and Bob.
After all, everyone is Jewish.
Linton felt pressure from all sides.
"I don’t deny that after getting Warner Records, at least part of the rights of Warner Records, APLUS is likely to bring A+ and Metropolis Records there, but this may not be a bad thing for Disney. APLUS has to pay a lot in order to leave. A big price to buy out and sign Disney’s issuance contract will bring a lot of cash income to FY05... Think about it, Eisner paid him little by digging him out of the world for several years. I don’t think there is any problem with this business. The character of APLUS is destined to not stay in any company for long...'
After the news of Song Ya's acquisition of Warner Records came out, the Eisner side was engaged in a public opinion war in addition to protecting the disc, trying to eliminate the disadvantages of the black pharaoh and Steve Jobs to the greatest extent.
To Steve Jobs resolutely took away Pixar animation, they responded with high-intensity talk about DreamWorks animation.
"DreamWorks Animation..."
"DreamWorks Animation..."
‘Kasenberg is a Disney veteran. It was a mistake that he insisted on leaving at the beginning. All Disney shareholders are very happy that he can come back. ’
At the same time, they also began to attack Linton, preparing for public opinion to vote for the re-election of directors. "The responsibility for letting APLUS leave is mainly on Vice President Linton. He should keep APLUS. They are so good to wear a pair of pants! ’
‘In 1997 when Linton was in charge of Hollywood Pictures, he created the largest annual loss record in the company’s history, which eventually led to the closure of Hollywood Pictures, a long-established production company, and Touchstone Pictures had to use internal mergers to wipe his butt...’
"I get along well with Linton. He is the most capable of all Disney senior managers. The experience of working with him for many years is very enjoyable. I am also a teacher and friend... He has helped me a lot."
Song Yahe's media also began to fight back, "To be honest, many people in Disney want to see me leave. If I stay, the only reason is the existence of Linton."
Song Ya hasn't left after all, so he can still play the "Maybe Stay" card.
"Did you see clearly? Without Pixar, no one cares about your attitude anymore! Robert, you have become Nobody!"
But Jobs has already said that the end of the cooperation after the car mobilization project is dead, which has caused Robert Iger to greatly reduce the importance of the game around this year’s shareholder meeting. Jobs said straightforwardly to him on the phone: “They don’t need to talk to you anymore. No matter what you are thinking! What are you talking about! Don't be surprised if they compromise with Linton, recognize the reality!"
"I apologize to you, Steve."
Robert Iger also discovered this. As soon as Jobs left, the cards in his hand suddenly disappeared. uukánshu.com If Katzenberg really comes to Disney, his situation will become extremely embarrassing. He knows that Jobs is playing a trick to retreat.
But I can only apologize for the previous swings, and find a way to make up for it.
"I still firmly oppose abandoning Pixar. I know Jobs' determination to terminate the cooperation, but we must not do nothing now! Disney can't live without Pixar. I have proposed to the board of directors to make every effort to retain them..."
On the eve of the general meeting of shareholders, Robert Iger changed his low-key tone and yelled to shareholders: “It’s even a matter of direct acquisition! Say it again! We can’t lose Pixar! Chairman George Mitchell and CEO Mr. Eisner must be serious Consider this!"
His ABC system also turned, which is equivalent to openly breaking with His Majesty the Emperor.
"Robert finally showed his true colors..."
In the CEO's office, Eisner sneered and said to Linton: "How about? Consider my suggestion. You are responsible for holding APLUS, and then we..."
"You are instructing everyone to initiate a vote of no confidence in my re-election, right?" Linton said in reverse, interrupting His Majesty's offer, watching the other party and asking.
"How come, this kind of naive provocation..."
Eisner sorted the papers on the desk, "You are my person..."
"We were loyal to each other, Mr. Eisner." Linton interrupted again, "Please don't forget, no matter who it is, Katzenberg, Jobs, Goldman Sachs, in the end, it is better to let APLUS and I take care of you. In Disney’s interests, you should be very clear about this..."
"I'm still the CEO here! I protect myself, don't need you or that kid to do it for you!" This sentence made Eisner instantly furious.
"think about it."
Linton nodded to him, turned and left.

There is still the problem. If you want to get things done, you must create public opinion in advance to maximize the influence of small and medium shareholders. Linton has been helping the emperor for too long, and he cannot be re-elected to his own director. Crisis Always kept in the dark.
Linton was angry.
He sensed that the Eisner-Goldman Sachs camp was a bit late in the hands-on time, and could only initiate remedial actions immediately. As for the effectiveness, he had no idea.
Everyone has no idea.
When Pixar still has the possibility of staying, Robert Iger is the key figure that everyone has to coax, but the game is like this. When Pixar is really and determined not to look back, what other people can do besides accepting it. Woolen cloth?
Robert Iger found that other parties might reach a compromise before and after the general meeting of shareholders, and when the compromise deal had a high probability of losing his share, he was also angry, or awakened. The image of Steve Jobs’s allies has been fixed, and will not change because of how much he considers the overall situation or pleases Eisner this year. When DreamWorks Animation and Katzenberg return like lightning, what will he have in Disney? What's the future?
Therefore, he changed his image of emphasizing the overall situation and suddenly became radical. He wanted to buy at a premium and even launched a hostile acquisition to resolutely keep Pixar. As the COO, he is the opposite of the Disney chairman and CEO who have begun to welcome DreamWorks Animation in order to stabilize the hearts of the people. He is tantamount to blatant rebellion.
The face-turning of the ABC family boss made Michael Eisner’s own public opinion impact instantly collapsed, which is now the second largest TV network in the country...
Even George Mitchell, relying on his status as the former majority leader of the Senate, has a louder voice than him, "Well, Robert Iger is also anxious... Michael, you are the CEO. The ABC's current chaos is only short-term, right? You can fix it. Bar?"
George Mitchell walked up and down in front of him and questioned: "Don't tell me you promoted Robert to COO back then, leaving ABC without thinking about this in advance!"
"Of course I have."
Controlling power and balancing subordinate forces are his absolute strengths, and Eisner didn't answer in kind.
"Then act quickly!" George Mitchell's chairman is very stance.
Eisner stopped speaking and began to ponder.
Indeed, after I promoted Robert Iger to COO, I took the opportunity to install many of my people on the ABC TV network, but since last year’s shareholder meeting, because Robert Iger did not follow Jobs’ baton, he performed to his satisfaction. Therefore, it is not good for me to do too much to his allies, and Robert Iger's subsequent recovery of the ABC department has not been small.
