Chapter 850 Who to cooperate with?
"The primary guarantee of relativity entertainment is investment interests." Ronan seemed open and honest, with an attitude that business matters were determined only by interests: "So, what I want to see is a stable Walt Disney."
He smiled: "As for who is in power, it is not particularly important to relativistic entertainment."
It is useless to talk about relationships with an old fox like Roy Disney who has experienced the market, but it will only make him feel that he has ulterior motives. Just talking from the perspective of business investment, the effect may be better based on the loss of profits and gains.
Involving hundreds of millions of dollars in investment, it seems normal to interfere with the theory of entertainment.
Roy Disney asked coldly: "That is, if I refuse you, don't you mind working with Michael Eisner?"
Ronan said: "If you want to gain something from the investment in Relativity Entertainment, Disney must be stable. Although Michael Eisner may not be a good choice, it is a hundred times better than continuing the civil war. Besides, Disney can be today, no one can ignore the achievements made by Michael Eisner."
His voice was also getting colder: "Although emotionally, I don't like Michael Eisner very much, but..."
I didn't say anything further, but the meaning was very obvious.
Roy Disney looked at the ugly face of the capitalist opposite, and actually believed in his heart that for commercial interests, Relativity Entertainment could definitely do such a thing.
After all, Relativity Entertainment and Ronan Anderson have little deep relationship with the Disney family.
Besides, even if the relationship is good, it can be worth hundreds of millions of dollars?
Roy Disney is also secretly calculating that if Relativity Entertainment turns to support Michael Eisner, will it lead some centrists to turn to Michael Eisner?
This kind of thing is really hard to say.
Ronan said at this time: "This is of course a relatively poor choice. Michael Eisner is no longer the previous Michael Eisner."
Roy Disney fully agrees with this: "Michael Eisner no longer has the ability to lead Disney forward. Disney's performance in recent years has also proved that Disney's performance is shrinking under the leadership of Michael Eisner."
Ronan nodded quite approvingly.
But I knew in my heart that it could not be determined in this way. The most important reason for Disney's recession was civil strife, which was even more serious for a company than an external crisis.
Another point is the emergence of relativity entertainment.
Relativity Entertainment seems to have no direct disputes with Disney, but both Pixar Studios and Pirates of the Caribbean have affected Disney.
Ronan said: "Roy, you are an old Disney person. No one knows Disney better than you. The first choice for relativity entertainment is you."
"I guess you are not so generous, are you?" Roy Disney could see through the essence of these business groups: "Support me is not just for investment and gaining profits, but there are other requirements?"
Luo Nan laughed: "It's simple and refreshing to talk to smart people."
Roy Disney put on a serious look on his face: "Tell me."
Ronan put away his smile and said seriously: "Relativity Entertainment acquired the copyright of all the previous animation feature films in Disney Animation Studio. We will give Disney a satisfactory price..."
Roy Disney thought he was mentally prepared, but when he heard this, he could only describe it as shock!
He stared at Ronan, as if he had a new understanding of the ugly face of capital.
Ronan didn't care. This first condition was just a test. If it was possible, Relativity Entertainment would pursue it relentlessly. If it was impossible, let's talk about other things.
"Absolutely impossible!" Roy Disney was a little angry: "Unless there is no one in the Disney family, Disney will never sell the copyright of animated movies! Don't think about any copyright related to this!"
He stood up angrily, as if he was about to say goodbye directly.
Of course, Roy Disney is also making a clear attitude, there is no need to talk about this kind of thing!
Disney would rather sell all Disneyland than sell Disney's animated film rights.
That is the foundation of Disney! It is also the key to Disney becoming Disney!
"Other authorizations..." Luo Nan tried again.
Roy Disney said word by word: "I said it is any copyright!"
Ronan understood and gave up, and said, "Roy, we are discussing, and cooperation is about seeking common ground while reserving differences."
Roy Disney sat down again and emphasized again: "No one from the Disney family is allowed to do such a thing!"
Ronan could hear Roy Disney's determination and understood that such conditions Roy Disney would definitely not accept.
"Since that's the case, I don't want to win over what I love." Ronan said calmly.
Although Roy Disney is very angry, his vigilance towards Ronan has returned to the normal level. A person with a purpose and wants to gain huge benefits comes to work with him, which is actually more reliable than the kind of person who builds relationships and talks about feelings.
The latter hidden behind the emotional card is often more sinister intentions and greater interest demands.
Business cooperation is never based on emotional factors.
Roy Disney said: "Ronan, although some things are difficult to do, the strength of the Disney family should not be underestimated. Disney ends civil unrest, which is a win-win situation for us."
This is telling Ronan that Roy Disney does not have to cooperate with Relativity Entertainment, so as to the so-called conditions and requirements should not be excessive.
Ronan seemed to understand what Roy Disney meant, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, it's reasonable and not difficult to do." He whispered: "Relativity Entertainment will seek to join MPAA when it's right. I ask Disney to fully support the demands of Relativity Entertainment."
Sure enough, this young man's ambition is not very great! Roy Disney sighed inwardly and said, "Do you want to be on par with the six major companies?"
Ronan said: "Relativity Entertainment already has such strength."
"The six major patterns have been maintained for so many years and have not been broken." Roy Disney said: "mpaa is actually a key point. Only Disney's support is far from enough, and the other five companies have to not oppose it."
Ronan smiled: "There is always a way."
Roy Disney said in a deep voice: "It's not that simple if you want to break the inherent pattern of the six majors."
Ronan said: "With Disney's support, at least it's a big step forward."
Roy Disney made a little thought and said: "Yes, as long as Michael Eisner stepped down, Disney fully supports Relativity Entertainment to enter the mpaa!"
Luo Nan stood up and took the initiative to reach out: "I hope the cooperation is pleasant."
Roy Disney held it hard in his hand: "I hope you can send people with enough weight to devote yourself to your actual work as soon as possible, cut off Michael Eisner's personal financing channels, and drive other shareholders to become our alliance."
Especially on the latter point, the reputation of relativity entertainment in the industry is very likely to affect the choice of many neutral shareholders.
Ronan said seriously: "Robert Iger will soon be able to come to New York, with the CEO of Relativity Entertainment personally involved."
Roy Disney said: "A word is certain."
Ronan said: "One word is certain."
The two of them communicated for a while and each left.
In addition to the club, Roy Disney thinks that the sunshine in New York is also brilliant, and the skyscrapers are lined with great pleasure.
Although he was in a good mood and felt that he had made another big step towards his goal, Roy Disney warned himself to be vigilant about relativistic entertainment.
When I returned to the hotel, I specifically learned about the situation and learned that Relativity Entertainment is indeed increasing its shareholding ratio, such as the acquisition of Disney equity in the Weinstein brothers, Roy Disney was also relatively relieved.
Based on the actual situation I learned, thinking before and after thinking, and cooperating with him, is the most in line with their investment interests.
That night, Robert Eiger brought people from Los Angeles to New York.
"How is it?" Robert Eiger asked Ronan.
"Roy Disney is eager to end the dispute." Ronan explained the specific situation in detail: "Overall, it's going well, but we can't relax. Bob, you come forward in person to negotiate with Disney shareholders to stabilize Roy Disney."
Connie asked, "We don't work with Roy Disney?"
Ronan smiled and said, "We worked with Roy Disney, but we also worked with others, and we chose the one who best suits our needs."
Connie roughly understood and didn't ask any more questions.
Robert Eiger said: "I'm ready, but the first few largest institutions also need you to come forward in person."
Ronan nodded: "No problem." He asked: "Bob, how sure are you? Are you sure these shareholders will be moved?"
"They invest not to develop the film industry, but to make profits," said Robert Iger. "As long as we can create a good opportunity, they can get rid of the vortex of Disney and have profits to take. Don't think too long about Wall Street's eyes. These people smell opportunities and only stare at interests."
Ronan suddenly thought of the former Lehman Brothers. As one of the top investment banks on Wall Street, would they not know the serious consequences of such crazy operations?
But huge profits are within reach, and how many people will care about the future.
Moreover, Ronan and Robert Eiger planned a meal that was not particularly luxurious but also rich.
"We can't be in a hurry, it takes time." Robert Eiger reminded: "We have been waiting and planning for several years, not a few months."
Ronan nodded slightly: "I understand." He asked: "When will Steve Jobs arrive?"
Robert Eiger said: "When we have the preliminary results, he will come to New York in person. I talked with him twice. As long as we can guarantee to get the copyright back for Pixar Studios, Steve Jobs will also cooperate with us. In the next period, as long as there is no conflict of interest, Steve Jobs will basically stand on the same front with us."
Ronan said: "You must also be prepared to turn against Jobs in the future."
