Jobs has not yet appeared, the audience has already chanted slogans led by diehard fans.
At the Disney headquarters, Linton and his subordinates, who were half lying in the boss's chair, suddenly laughed. Naturally, those present did not want Jobs to come to Disney. The voice of Apple fans was in their favor. Of course, they don’t have to care too much about the consumer electronics conference, and they are still talking about work and the arrangements for the civil war.
In the same building, Eisner and George Mitchell stayed together and turned on the TV. The two were intent on discussing the arrangement after the press conference was over to find a chance to contact Jobs to discuss the details of the arrangement.
Song Ya went to Silicon Valley and stayed with Palm executives. Today, Apple's new products involve competition in product lines such as MP3 players and laptops. They pay more attention to the content of the conference itself.
Steve Jobs, who wore the same style for thousands of years, walked into the venue on time, still full of apple-style rituals. He smiled at the audience and raised his hands and pressed them down, making a quiet gesture.
"Stay! Stay! Stay!"
The audience continued to shout.
"I am here…"
Jobs held his heart and responded sincerely: "Go nowhere, OK? Okay, please let us see what Apple has brought to consumers around the world this year..."
Linton suddenly felt excited, sitting upright, "What did he just say? What did Jobs just say!?"
The conversation in the office stopped abruptly, Eisner's face turned pale, he was unprepared, the Apple fans on the TV were cheering, but he was sure that he had not misheard what Jobs had said.
Then...
It's over...
too suddenly…
He covered his heart, UU reading www.uukanshu.com seemed to have been shot.
"FXXK! Damn it!"
George Mitchell's mouth was violent, but his expression was subtle, "What shall we do?" After asking these words, he looked at Eisner and observed his words, "Are you okay, Michael?"
"It's okay, I'm okay."
Eisner couldn't take care of it anymore, she squeezed her composure, and trembling hands touched the quick-acting heart-saving medicine in her arms.
"Did he just decline the invitation to the Disney CEO position?"
PalmCEO Jeffrey Hawkins understood the general situation of the Disney Civil War and asked Song Ya: "An official response? Isn't it too serious on this occasion? Just one sentence..."
"It seems that he made a decision, much earlier than I expected."
Song Ya frowned and stretched out. Linton had already called, "Sorry, I'll answer the call." He smiled calmly at the others and turned to go out.

"Can you... wait until I come back from Xiangjiang?"
Jobs showed his attitude. There is no decent possibility that Eisner does not take the initiative to resign, but everyone underestimates the paranoia of the emperor. The officials attending the ceremony are very high-level. Disney has to maintain its corporate image at least until then, right? Otherwise, we will become the laughing stock of the world... You... what do you think? Roy?"
September 12 is the big day for the opening of Hong Kong Disneyland. Disney heads and brains will go. He used this as an excuse. On the 7th, he took the initiative to call Roy Disney, who was expelled and humiliated by himself, and pleaded in a low voice. The other party postponed the convening of an extraordinary general meeting.
"OhComeon! Michael, do you think you still have a chance? It's impossible... if I knew it, why bother to do this! Huh?"
Revenge is always sweet. Roy Disney on the other end of the phone turned it over and replied with accent: "Don't worry, I won't allow Disney to be ashamed. Before September 20th, everyone doesn't want to make things too ugly."
As the leader of the Salvation Disney movement, Roy has always taken the lead in the affairs of the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders. It takes time to convene the meeting. In fact, the 20th is the fastest speed, and the progress has been faster than expected by at least one month.
Of course, this does not affect his pretending to be tolerant in front of Eisner, who is like a bereaved dog.
The winner is always tolerant.
"Okay, thank you, Roy...thank you."
Eisner thanked him humbly. It was not clear that it would take some time for him to complete the process of the extraordinary shareholders meeting, but during the day Jobs's raid left him in despair and his attitude, especially when Jobs announced that he would stay in the face of Apple fans. His understatement hit him even harder at that time, and Jobs didn't even bother to mention the name of Disney.
The emperor was also in a panic, but still tried to survive from the dead, and would never give up until the last minute, "By the way, you will keep Pixar, right? Roy..."
In order to drive me away, Roy Disney currently maintains a friendly relationship with Jobs and the APLUS camp, but when I really leave? Roy must be more inclined to Steve Jobs and Robert Iger, who have been in alliance for a longer time.
Then the conflict between them and the APLUS-Linton camp will break out!
Maybe I can find opportunities in it!
"Those don't bother you to care about it."
Roy Disney hung up, "Oh..." Finally, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, and aftertastes it for a while before he picked up the microphone again to inform his allies.
"The 20th shareholder meeting is scheduled. Eisner may continue to struggle for a few days, but there is no chance."
Jobs personally conveyed to Robert Iger, "Roy does not need to worry, let Goldman Sachs-George Mitchell support you to take over as CEO and keep Pixar's plan, and formally inform them that I am willing to sell and seek cooperation..."
"OK!"
With less than two weeks left to aspire to the throne of CEO, Robert Iger is suspicious of his ally Steve Jobs's delay in rejecting Eisner’s invitation. After all, Jobs has always been cold-blooded and ruthless in the market. Now it’s all set. Now, there is no problem, you can go all out for the final sprint.
In addition to joy, when Jobs personally announced during the day that he would stay at Apple, his first reaction was a little regretful. Since he chose to drag, it was better to drag it to the end of Kasenberg's mountains, and had to bow his head under Redstone's pressure before refusing. Disney's CEO position seems to be better. Without DreamWorks competition, it will be more stable to introduce Pixar to Disney in the future.
But he soon wanted to understand why Jobs did this. The main battlefield next will only be the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, that is, how to please the maximum extent and win the support of shareholders.
APLUS’s previous acquisition of Metropolitan Distribution by Warner Records is tantamount to reinforce the question of “whether the A+ series record business can be retained”. At the meeting on the 20th, I lost the attention of small and medium shareholders, and at least part of the focus was taken away.
The later the agenda appears and the closer it is to the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, the more concerned it is by shareholders.
Regardless of whether or not Katzenberg bowed his head to Redstone at the end, it seems that he can at least hold his teeth until December. It is only September. Katzenberg can still make a gesture of willingness to join Disney without any hindrance. , Unite APLUS, Linton and our own confrontation.
So I can't count on this anyhow, we must recognize the reality decisively.
Jobs expressed his position at today's new product launch, and at the same time, he can cleverly please Apple users and shareholders to the greatest extent, and raise weight for him to resist the invasion of APLUS and Amelio for a long time on the front of Apple.
As expected of Jobs, well done!
It’s him who is striving to be the CEO. After all, he has to fight for it by himself. Robert Iger understands that it’s time for him to fully fire without reservation. After thinking about it for a while, he called George Mitchell and learned that the other party was still there. In the headquarters building, immediately went out to meet him.
