Chapter 0156 Replace 10% Of Disney's Equity, Beware Of Traitors And Lackeys!
Disney's current president is Bob Iger.
Bob Iger joined Disney in 1996 and has served as CEO since 2005.
During Iger's tenure, he bought Pixar for $7.4 billion, Marvel and Lucasfilm for $4.24 billion and $4.05 billion, respectively.
In 2019, it spent another US$71.3 billion to acquire a large number of Fox assets, including 20th Century Fox Pictures, Fox Searchlight FX Television Network and National Landmarks.
It can be said that the Marvel world can bring Spider-Man back to the Marvel universe, which is really thanks to Eiger.
However, it is a pity that this guy has left Disney since 2020, and then the entire Disney began to develop in another weird direction.
The guy who replaced Iger was called Bob Chapek.
Although the word Bob is included in the name, the abilities of the two parties are still very different.
Chapek led Disney all the way in the direction of political correctness, and in the next ten years of Marvel, he attached political correctness to Marvel movies one by one.
So much so that after the end of "Avengers: Endgame", it is difficult to have a hit. In addition to buying and selling feelings, I always think about developing in a direction that is difficult for Hua Suan.
Chapek even announced that even without Huaxia, it would not affect Disney's money, and Disney could still live better.
Of course, although the awesome words have been blown out, in 2022 Bob Iger will return to serve as the CEO of Walt Disney Company, effective immediately, replacing Bob Chapek, who succeeded him in 2020 before this 470.
Disney's board of directors announced the decision to replace them, saying: "We are grateful to Bao Zhengbo for serving Disney during his long career, including leading the company to face unprecedented challenges during the epidemic. The board of directors has decided that Disney is facing a period of industry transformation. More and more complicated times Bob Iger is the best person to lead the company through the critical period
It can be seen that for Iger's ability, Disney as a whole still recognizes it very much, but I dare not say that Chapek, a waste, is only thinking about political correctness.
At this moment, it was Aiger who was negotiating with Zhou Yang.
The stake in Marvel held by Zhou Yang has increased to 75%. What Eiger means is very simple, he needs at least 51% of the stake held by Zhou Yang.
To this end, Disney is willing to spend 6 billion dollars
At the beginning, Zhou Yang bought 75% of the shares of Marvel for 4 billion US dollars, and now it is almost a year. Zhou Shao earned at least 6 billion. Besides, Zhou Yang's It still holds 14% of the shares.
As for the equity that Zhou Yang took out as a reward, it was replaced with Disney's equity.
It can be said that Disney's sincerity is quite in place.
The popularity of Iron Man also made Disney fully realize that this is an old hen that lays golden eggs, and they naturally want to intervene in it.
It's just that, soon, they discovered that the basic mountains of the Marvel Cinematic Universe are all in the hands of Zhou Yang.
If you want to talk, you have to talk to Zhou Yang.
After meeting a few times, if Zhou Yang doesn't come to the US Emperor, they will go to Huaxia to have a good talk with Zhou Yang, and they offer their own conditions one by one, and their hearts are a little bit drummed.
He can feel it, Zhou Yang is actually not a poor money owner, the capital in his hands is still strong enough, if you only use money, it will be difficult to be afraid of insects
Impressed by Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang drank his coffee slowly, and then looked at Iger with a smile on his face: "Mr. Iger, I have seen Disney's sincerity, but for me, this is not a matter of money !"
Iger took a deep breath, looked at Zhou Yang and asked, "Then Mr. Zhou Yang, what do you need? I believe there is nothing that cannot be discussed, and I also believe that we can definitely discuss a result!"
Zhou Yang laughed when he heard the words, and he said unhurriedly: "Then, Mr. Eiger, I will briefly explain my request!"
"First, I don't need Disney's money, and I can also give Disney 51% of the equity, but I need Disney to replace it with its own equity. My minimum requirement is 10%. Fifty-one percent of the shares in exchange for 10 percent of Disney's shares!"
"Second, I ask Disney to allow me to use the copyright of Marvel and Disney. That is to say, if I am in China, I can use Disney's image. Of course, there is one thing, you can rest assured that I will not come to shoot Movie!"
"Third, regarding the arrangement of actors and directors, especially for Chinese regions, I need to ask which director to use and which Chinese actor to use, and I have a veto power. As I said, it is only for Chinese regions!"
"fourth!"
Speaking of this, Zhou Yang paused slightly: "If it is my film company, the film produced by Huaxia Film Company, if possible, I hope Disney can help me distribute it in North America!"
"Fifth is the issue of the option pool, which needs to be solved by Disney itself!"
While talking, Zhou Yang put down the coffee in his hand, smiled and said: "Mr. Eiger, what do you think? Basically, (ceef) I am the five main demands
Eiger frowned slightly.
In fact, the other problems are really not that big. The biggest problem is that this guy Zhou Yang opened his mouth and directly demanded 10% of Diskang's shares.
Isn't this a joke?
However, for Disney, they are indeed eyeing Marvel, the old hen that lays golden eggs. If the previous popularity of Spider-Man and the popularity of X-Men were just an accident, then, with the popularity of Iron Man , It has also fully made Disney realize that he must make a move as soon as possible.
Facts have proved that although Disney holds a large number of IPs in its hands, it is Marvel who really evolved Disney into Thanos and collected various copyright gems.
The adaptations of Marvel movies one after another have successfully given Disney the ability to make money, so that they can purchase frantically and collect all kinds of copyrights.
Aiger is obviously aware of this too.
At this stage, although the Disney family has a big business, but with 51% of the equity to replace Disney's 10% of the equity,
In this way, Disney is actually not losing money.
In fact, Zhou Yang also has his own considerations, he can't stay in the United States all the time, whether it's the adaptation or distribution of Marvel movies, in fact, Zhou Yang is not very easy to intervene, but domestically he can help.
However, the United States Emperor, he really has nothing to do.
It's better to be more straightforward, sell directly to Disney, let Disney invest and shoot, and you can follow with a small dividend.
My focus is not here at all, and there is really no need to waste time here.
Equity replacement is the same method that Disney used when it acquired Jobs’ Pixar studio. So far, Jobs is still the largest individual stock in Discom.
If it is an equity replacement, on the premise of not spending money.
Eiger feels that this is not an unacceptable thing.
"I still need to have a good discussion with the members of the board of directors on this issue!" Iger said slowly: "I think you don't answer the second, third, fourth and fifth questions, just the first one!"
"It doesn't matter, I will stay in the United States for a while, Mr. Eiger, I also believe that you will definitely make the best choice!" Zhou Yang just smiled and said: "I'm not in a hurry, we can also take it easy Slow talk!"
Egger took a deep breath.
In fact, he was really tempted by Zhou Yang's proposal, but the problem now is how to convince the shareholders.
As long as the shareholders are won, it's almost the same.
Eiger was sitting in the car, but he was thinking about how to persuade other shareholders.
After all, this is a 10% stake in Disney. Once Zhou Yang really wins this stake, he will surpass Jobs and officially become Disney's largest individual shareholder
Kevin Fitch looked at Zhou Yang and said, "Boss, are you going to put Chinese directors and actors in Marvel movies?"
"No, I'm just keeping you in mind!" Zhou Yang smiled and said slowly: "Whether it's an actor or a director, these are not that important. What I'm worried about recently is that you guys will let me Some Chinese directors come to direct Marvel!"
"This..." Kevin Fitch was rather curious: "Isn't it good?"
"Nonsense!" Zhou Yang rolled his eyes and said slowly, "Do you know Huaxia?"
"Okay, okay!" Kevin Fitch hesitated for a moment: "It's not too understanding!"
"Some of us Chinese know much better than you, and what they are best at is to poke the pain points of Zhonghua Building!"
Zhou Yang rolled his eyes, and said slowly: "Generally speaking, we internally call them traitors and lackeys. They will deceive Marvel, deceive Disney, and then secretly add private goods to destroy Disney in the world. China's film market!"
