MTL - Heads Up Hollywood-Chapter 1184 Strategic Realignment
Scott Swift has always been a light-hearted look.
No way, you have to keep a low profile.
If you want to fight against Michael Eisner, you must not reveal that the mastermind behind him is Dunn. This is tantamount to giving the other party an excuse.
Dunn and Disney are hostile after all.
Once the relationship is exposed, it is impossible for him to win the approval of the majority of shareholders in the shareholders' meeting. After all, he only holds 6.7% of Disney's shares, which is 6.7% of the voting rights. If you can't pull more shareholders to join, this voting weight can't shake Michael Eisner at all.
It wasn't until Roy Disney was mentioned that Michael Eisner really felt the problem.
Scott Swift is Disney's largest shareholder.
Roy Disney, the representative of the Disney family, is the most influential boss in the shareholders meeting.
The combination of these two people can really set off a storm!
Michael Eisner didn't dare to take it lightly anymore. He realized the seriousness of the situation, and humbly asked for advice: "Yes, it was Roy who brought me to Disney back then. He has now stepped down from the Disney board."
After speaking, he had a sad expression on his face.
It's as if Roy Disney was "removed" from the board and has nothing to do with him at all.
Scott Swift was unmoved and said indifferently: "He talked to me a lot, he said that Disney's brain drain has been very serious in recent years, which is due to your arrogance and lack of responsibility. The spirit. Of course, I don't necessarily agree with this view, but it is Roy's original words."
He ignored Michael Eisner's sullen face, and continued to bury his head in his own eyes: "When the company is good, the glory belongs to you; when the company is unlucky, the responsibility will be passed on to the subordinates. He is even more precise. Point out that Hollywood is an industry where everyone at the top wants to be a 'star'. But Disney has only one star position, and that's you, the CEO. It's hegemony."
Michael Eisner took a deep breath and said with restraint, "I think Roy must have some misunderstandings about me."
Peter Murphy also hurriedly said: "Indeed. Scott, you can be patient and observe for a while. If you know him for a long time, you will be convinced by his charisma. He will be the CEO of Disney. the best choice.”
"Really?" Scott Swift replied, shaking his head gently, "Whether Roy's words are true or false... It is indeed open to debate, but there are huge problems with Disney's board of directors, which is a fact. At present, half of Disney's 16 directors are current and former directors of Disney, and some have business dealings with Disney. These people do not play a supervisory role in some form, they are just symbolic decorations . Why does no one or institution currently hold more than 5% of the stock in Disney? Why did Buffett liquidate the stock early? I am afraid that is the reason."
Michael Eisner said solemnly, "What do you want?"
Small shareholders cannot effectively restrict his power, but Scott Swift, who holds 6.7% of the shares, is different. He has the strength to do it.
As long as you reach an agreement with Roy Disney, you will shout at the shareholders' meeting and gather around 40% of the voting rights.
Then, of the 16 directors of Disney, half of them have to be replaced!
Michael Eisner's power will be severely curtailed, even removed from his chairman seat.
Scott Swift said solemnly: "Disney can no longer sit idly by, it must come up with a coping strategy and raise its stock price! It must be responsible for all shareholders!"
Michael Eisner said in a bad tone: "Disney's current cash flow is not sufficient, and it is unrealistic to want to buy back shares."
In his opinion, Scott Swiftes is a financial expert.
The usual way for Wall Street-born capital masters to boost stocks is to buy back in large quantities.
"Repurchase? No, I never thought of that." Scott Swift immediately vetoed.
"Then who are you?"
"Of course through strategic adjustment!"
Scott Swift said without hesitation.
"no!"
Terrified, Michael Eisner and Peter Murphy blurted out in unison.
Strategic Realignment?
This is the responsibility of the board of directors!
Although you are a major shareholder, you do not have this right!
Scott Swift naturally understood what they meant, and said lightly: "I am a major shareholder of Disney, and only I can best represent Disney's interests. I believe that in the shareholders' meeting, the shareholders will give me a great deal. Support, including Mr. Roy Disney."
"You'll ruin Disney!"
Peter Murphy felt a tinge of fear, and it was from the bottom of his heart.
He even felt a bit of a Wall Street corporate sniper from Scott Swift.
This group of people are completely laymen, but they can always use financial means to quickly raise the stock price in a short period of time, and then cash out and withdraw, leaving a pile of messes for the company.
Michael Eisner's heart is also full of worry, this worry is even more terrible than his loss of Disney's power, he is really worried that Disney will be destroyed in the hands of such a Wall Street jackal.
Next, listen to Scott Swift's bold words: "I have three ways to quickly raise Disney's stock price. First, split the ABC TV network! The merger of Disney and the ABC Group was originally a Wrong. Second, sell the loss-making businesses such as music and publishing, and make corresponding layoffs; third, ease the relationship with New Universal, especially to keep the popular reality show "American Idol"!"
Michael Eisner and Peter Murphy went pale.
The first two are completely the routine of drawing wages from the bottom of the pot and drinking poison to quench thirst. This is the standard Wall Street game!
Article 3 is even more impossible.
Now that the Big Five has turned against New Universal, Disney dares to come to ask for peace at this time. Isn't this a break with the Big Five?
……
"My dad said he wanted to have dinner with me."
After school in the afternoon, little Taylor hurried to Dunn's office, looking very nervous.
Tang En waved at her and said with a smile, "It's a good thing, you don't have many chances to be together."
"But..." Little Tyler looked like he was hesitant to say anything.
"What's wrong?"
"He said... He said he wanted to talk to me about life issues~www.novelbuddy.com~ Little Taylor blushed slightly and was a little embarrassed.
Tang En was also stunned for a moment, a little shocked, "Life problems?"
Little Taylor squeezed to the side of Dunn and sat down, threw the bag on the desk at will, and said with a sullen face: "He knows it all, I have moved out now, and it was my mother who accidentally said something. "
Tang En had a black line on his forehead and was speechless.
"What should I do?" Little Taylor was very anxious.
"Tell me the truth!" Dunn was a little helpless, "what else can I do?"
"Huh?" Little Taylor opened his mouth in surprise.
Dunn waved his hand and sighed, "Scott is so smart, he might have guessed something long ago. But it doesn't matter, we are inseparable partners, he will understand me and you."
Scott Swift currently runs the Swift Fund, which is worth more than $50 billion.
Among them, Dunn Capital holds 80% and Scott holds 20%.
In other words, Scott Swift is already a billionaire!
When you reach this level of a millionaire, when the level is high...the life will be taken lightly. Except for a few people, most of the rich people of this level have looked down on family, friendship and love, and paid more attention to interests.
And Dunn is the fundamental guarantee of his personal interests.
