He hesitated very much, touched the landline with his hand, thought about it, and dialed the number of his elder son Blake.
"What's up?"
After the Sahara project was furious, the eldest son was autistic. He didn't want to work for the time being, and he didn't have a job to find him.
"I will announce my resignation tomorrow..." Eisner said.
"Oh…"
"you're drunk?"
"Drink some, not much..." Blake hiccuped on the other side of the phone.
"Be strong, optimistic, just temporary setbacks..."
"I know what to do with myself, OK?"
"Okay, okay, I will probably support Robert after retirement, and he will also take care of your career in the future." Eisner didn't want to quarrel with his adult son about these trivial matters in life.
"I do not need…"
"Do you like Iger? I think you like Linton and APLUS better?"
"It doesn't matter, Hollywood people are all **** like snobbery..."
Putting down the phone, Eisner shook his head and called his youngest son Anders again, in the same order as last time.
"It doesn't matter to me. I live on Wall Street by my ability. Believe it or not, as long as I make a phone call, I can work at any investment bank on Wall Street in the next second..."
There is still noisy party background sound. Anders, who is proud of his fund brokerage business, is extremely confident. He even feels that the size of the first investment bank in New Jersey is not enough to match his achievements. "It is APLUS that owes us daddy! I! Helped him make so much money!"
"Calm down Anders, too many people on Wall Street are falling into arrogant emotions." Eisner warned: "Just like you are now..."
"I even plan to work independently with my friends. It just so happens. After you retire, you can enjoy your life. Leave the trust funds you set up to me. I promise, the rewards will be higher than if you do to guard Disney... five times! "
Eisner rolled his eyes and didn't want to continue talking, "Eric, how about you?"
My favorite second son is indeed a lot more reliable, "Of course it is APLUS."
"Oh?"
Eisner became interested, "I remember you last time commented that APLUS is far less shrewd than the outside world."
"He is much younger than you guys, and he is invincible."
Eric said: "Did you see his charity activities and charity performances in New Orleans? The Donkey Party used him to rush to the front line of the hurricane-stricken area to attack the current leader. The black community's perception of him is now a bit like MJ's 80s. At the peak, Disney’s frustration is nothing to him. He is much more calm than any of you. He is also super mobile. Yes, maybe he is not that shrewd, but he will adjust in time when he makes a mistake. Billionaires also have enough room for adjustment. Seriously, I don’t understand why you would not choose him. Are there other billionaires in your game?"
"Anything else?"
Eisner keenly noticed that the second son suddenly switched to taking APLUS rainbow farts, something abnormal, "Tell the truth Eric."
"Uh... he is going to build a gossip website similar to TMZ. I think it overlaps with the style of my website Romp. This is a way and has a future. I am talking about cooperation with his Litman media. I have a ready-made one. Website, they don’t hesitate to spend money to buy time to catch up with TMZ. Litman Media can afford a high premium and hit it off!"
Sure enough, Eric is also a pure profit animal. "If Romp's transformation is successful, I will be able to grab a large share from the traditional Hollywood tabloid and have a certain media influence, at least for the entertainment industry. The founder of TMZ was just A small role in Time Warner Group, but now?"
"what!"
Eisner was amused. "Is there no lower limit for the overlap of styles you mean?"
"Um…"
After the conversation, Eisner's heart became more determined, and once again, he felt that there was something to do, so he decisively dialed APLUS's mobile phone number.
Not looking for Linton, Linton also has the possibility of succumbing to the Iger-Stags alliance.
Struggle one last time!
"Mr. Eisner." A familiar calm tone came from the other end.
"Can you find a quiet place? I want to have a good chat with you." The background sound on the other end is also noisy, "A party?"
"The Emmy Awards Ceremony."
"Oh, my memory." It's the 13th in the United States, which happens to be the time for the Emmy Awards. APLUS came to the scene to explain that they will definitely win the prize. Mei and Emmy trophies."
"thanks."
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, let's make a deal! But let's say in advance that at the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders on the 20th, you and Linton will support me as a director." When APLUS changed a quiet place, He makes a price.
"We can't do it. If we support you, we will offend a large number of shareholders who support us, especially Roy..."
Unexpectedly, he was rejected by the other party, "I don't want to play any tricks at this time, Mr. Eisner, Linton and I are willing to trade, but it is impossible to include any board seats."
"Do you think Roy will still support Linton after I resign?"
He sneered, "Oh yes, I haven't told you yet, I decided to announce my resignation tomorrow."
"I know, I received the news." I didn't get the expected response, and it was not unexpected at all.
The faces of all the people who participated in the drafting of the resignation speech flashed through his mind, but he quickly cast aside the irrelevant speculations. What's the point of uncovering a traitor at this time?
"Then... well, you tell me what you think, APLUS."
Unexpectedly, the other party already knew that he planned to support Iger and was so calm just now, he asked a little embarrassedly.
"Linton needs your support. We need enough shareholder votes. You can publicly support Iger. We can get some secret help." APLUS said.
"That's not enough, it's not enough." The voting pattern of the shareholders' meeting has been rehearsed countless times in his mind.
"Enough, we can win."
The voice on the other end of the phone seemed to have surging self-confidence, "Mr. Eisner, this is the case now. After the victory, Linton and I will calculate your'workload' and then decide what to give you back, such as a consultant position, or By supporting the business between you and your family, I'll talk about it then, in short, it will satisfy you."
"You! Haha, you..."
Eisner was furious. The other party’s attitude made his previous plans look like a clown. He looked forward to it but was extremely disappointed. He smirked and said, "You are too bloated APLUS! Give it back to me on the phone." Is it necessary to carry such a multi-billionaire shelf!?"
"I repeat! We can win."
Song Ya said decisively: "The only thing you have to consider is how to face the problem of Linton and me after winning, Mr. Eisner, save yourself some points! Otherwise, our subsequent revenge may cause you. very ugly!"

"Your Majesty, why make yourself like this..."
Eisner’s dying struggle made Song Ya shook his head and sighed. Of course, he was not as confident as he was on the phone just now, but it is no longer possible to do business with the other party. Eisner’s credibility has long been negative, who knows what he said. Is it true or false.
"Did you just assign KPIs (key performance indicators) to our emperor?"
Linton, who was listening by his side, joked.
"Ha ha!"
Both of them laughed. Before coming to the Emmy Awards ceremony, they had learned that Eisner had drafted his resignation speech and would announce his support for Robert Iger. Naturally, disappointment, anger, and other emotions were there, but this is the end of the matter. Bluff bluffs Eisner.
Believe that he might be played anyway, it's better to be tough.
"It is also good for him to support Iger publicly. It will make all shareholders who hate him more firmly vote for me..."
