Heads Up Hollywood

Michael Eisner doesn't want a shareholder meeting.

At the moment when the stock price is sluggish, once the shareholders get together and gain power, they will definitely attack him as the CEO.

Since he became the CEO of Disney in 1984, now he is almost the weakest moment in charge of Disney, even more mentally and mentally haggard than when Roy Disney led the "Invert Eisner" movement a few years ago.

However, the Swift Fund is the largest shareholder of Disney and has the qualifications to propose a general meeting of shareholders.

Michael Eisner brought his confidant Peter Murphy to have a good talk with Scott Swift and persuade him to give up the idea of ​​proposing a general meeting of shareholders.

You are a venture capital expert, and you play in the Internet and technology industries. Disney's media and entertainment industry is not in the same line as you! You just hold the stock honestly and wait for it to appreciate, don't bother!

Scott Swift apparently doesn't think so.

He came to the CEO's office, preemptively.

"I thought Disney's stock was a value investment, but the result was very disappointing. You didn't do anything to boost the stock price. I just bought a large amount of stock from the Bass family. It's only been two days. That’s a loss of $60 million!”

Michael Eisner's heart skipped a beat, feeling that the other party had a bad background.

Since it is a value investment, it must be a long-term investment.

How can we look at short-term stock price performance?

His confidant Peter Murphy said with a smile: "Recently, the situation in Hollywood is a bit complicated, and a collective negative atmosphere has formed. It is reasonable for Disney's stock price to fall within a narrow range. But don't worry, Disney's stock price has bottom support and has already I can't fall down."

"Unfavorable atmosphere?" Scott Swift's face was indifferent, "Don't forget my major, my understanding of the financial market must be better than yours. Disney's stock price is falling, but CBS's stock price is rising. Could it be that Is it not your operational error?"

Peter Murphy's face was embarrassing, a little embarrassed.

That's for sure!

The outside world has spread!

The next season of "American Idol" may switch from ABC to CBS. As one ebbs and the other, Disney's stock price goes down, and it is only natural that CBS's stock price rises.

Michael Eisner said in a deep voice: "Mr. Swift, you may not know much about the structure of the entertainment industry. The current Hollywood is the most chaotic time in the past few decades. As long as this period of time passes, everything will naturally improve."

"Chaos? Why is it chaotic?"

"Well……"

Michael Eisner and Peter Murphy looked at each other, feeling a little helpless.

Are you really stupid or fake stupid?

Don't know this?

The Big Five Alliance is besieging New Universal!

A new turf division is going on in Hollywood!

Scott Swift seemed to be really unclear about all this, took out a document from his briefcase, shook his head frequently with a solemn face: "In the past two days, I have met with many directors, shareholders, and incumbents. The current and outgoing Disney executives understand a lot of Disney's management issues. It's not optimistic!"

Michael Eisner looked livid.

Scott Swift was unmoved, took out a document, and said lightly: "Looking back at Disney's expansion strategies over the past few years, it is not difficult to find that there are gains and losses. The development of retail stores and theme parks, Most of them are suspected of overheating, and there is another Disney Adventure Park built next to Disneyland in California. Isn’t this a fight? Moreover, the construction of the TV network is mixed, and it is not eye-catching!”

Peter Murphy couldn't help but said: "Isn't ESPN bright enough? ESPN is the most profitable cable channel in the United States!"

Scott Swift said: "We can't generalize. The success of ESPN cannot cover up the decline of ABC. Especially important, Disney's link in the TV distribution network is particularly weak."

This is a topic forbidden by Michael Eisner. He was laughed angrily, interrupted Peter Murphy who was about to argue, and waved his hand: "Okay, I remember, you continue to talk!"

How threatening!

He is the chairman of the board of directors and chief executive officer of Disney, and he is extremely powerful.

He had already figured it out, if this Scott Swift really dared to do something wrong, he would deal with it hypocritically and control him first.

After a while, the situation calms down and Disney's stock price rises smoothly. He will definitely come back with revenge!

Although Scott Swift is the major shareholder, Michael Eisner has enough ways to make him suffer huge losses in investing in Disney.

"Don't mess with me!"

Michael Eisner thought hard in his heart.

Scott Swift's face was indifferent, and he continued: "During this time, I have received many complaints from animators, thinking that you have too many restrictions on Disney's artistic creation, which has seriously affected their creative ideas. This is the root cause of Disney Animation's embarrassment. Of course, I am more concerned about another thing. You also adopt this method in administration. You send two or three people to head a department and form a 'committee' situation. Who There is also no absolute sovereignty, and mutual restraint. This will not promote healthy competition, but intensify internal tactics!"

"You can't say that..." Peter Murphy couldn't bear it anymore, he could see that the big boss was on the verge of an outburst of anger.

Michael Eisner interrupted him again, waved his hand, and said coldly: "Let him continue talking!"

Scott Swift said: "Mr. Eisner, you have to understand that I am not targeting you. I am just stating my investigation report in the past few days and what some Disney insiders think of you. Your biggest The biggest mistake is a mistake in the employment policy, and the concentrated expression is naturally Jeffrey Katzenberg and Michael Ovitz. The former, Disney paid 270 million US dollars in compensation, and the latter, Disney paid 160 million US dollars in compensation. absurd!"

Michael Eisner has run out of patience!

In the past few decades, who dared to criticize him mercilessly in front of him like this?

Unexpectedly, the next sentence seemed to pour a basin of cold water on him, and he sobered up a lot.

Just listen to Scott Swift say: "Just yesterday, I had coffee with Mr. Roy Disney."

"Have coffee with Roy?"

Michael Eisner looked shocked, and Peter Murphy also looked terrified.

Who is Roy Disney?

The contemporary patriarch of the Disney family whose roots are growing red!

It's the banner man against Michael Eisner!

Had it not been for the collusion between Michael Eisner and Twain who secretly negotiated the song, he would not have been able to pass the test of Roy Disney, and he might have stepped down directly.

Now, the crisis has appeared again.

The new major shareholder secretly met with Roy Disney at this time, which made Michael Eisner feel terrified!

There is a feeling of being ousted at any moment.

The corner of Scott Swift's mouth curled up, and he smiled slightly, "Yes, Mr. Disney is a very kind and kind old man. He has very deep feelings for Disney. I am willing to listen and I admire him very much."
