Chicago, the crew of "The Dark Knight" officially started filming. The dark bats and the white clown are about to stage a soul duel in this city.

After attending the opening ceremony, Ronan left the crew and came to a hotel in downtown Chicago.

This is the industry invested by Tom Cruise and it is also the place where Ronan carefully selected to meet Michael Eisner.

After entering a reception room, Ronan waited for more than ten minutes, and Michael Eisner also arrived.

"Good morning, Ronan." Michael Eisner took the initiative to shake hands with Ronan.

Ronan shook his hand with a calm face: "Hello, Michael."

Michael Eisner was invited to sit down and ask Connie to bring coffee. Soon the two of them were left in the reception room.

Michael Eisner knew there was no time and capital wasted, so he went straight to the topic: "Relativity Entertainment is now a shareholder of Disney. I am the chairman of the company's board of directors. Speaking of which, we are also our own people."

Ronan said politely: "Relativity Entertainment is just a small shareholder."

"Relativity Entertainment is not a minor shareholder," said Michael Eisner. "Disney's equity is scattered and holding more than three percent of the shares can be called a major shareholder."

Unlike facing Robert Eiger, his old subordinate, Michael Eisner's attitude towards Ronan was completely different because he knew very well that Ronan could be on par with him in terms of status and wealth he represented.

Michael Eisner suddenly changed his voice: "I heard from Bob, you met Roy Disney some time ago?"

Ronan nodded slightly: "I met once, Roy Disney talked to me about the shareholders' meeting at the end of next year." He looked at Michael Eisner, without any intention of going around in circles, and said directly: "Michael, I heard Bob mention your last meeting and know something about Disney."

Michael Eisner asked: "Does Roy Disney want you to support him?"

Ronan said: "Roy Disney told me that he wanted to initiate a recall resolution at this year's shareholders' meeting, and hoped that I could support Disney to replace a new chairman and CEO."

Hearing this, Michael Eisner was not surprised at all and said, "Roy Disney is joking about Disney's future."

Ronan looked at Michael Eisner without saying anything.

Michael Eisner could not avoid the key questions. After all, this was the purpose of finding Ronan, and asked slowly: "You...will not agree to Roy Disney, right?"

Ronan did not answer positively: "Relativity Entertainment does not want to participate in Disney's internal issues, and we have never intervened in internal management or other disputes in any other company."

He sighed lightly: "We have contacted each other for a long time and originally intended to cooperate in the issuance of peripheral channels. Relativity Entertainment held a stake in Disney is also a decision I made. I originally thought that both of us could have close cooperation in the animation peripherals..."

Michael Eisner was judging while listening. Relativity Entertainment was basically taking the initiative to develop itself in the past, and it did not intervene in the internal struggle with other companies. Disney's advantages in animation peripheral distribution are the best in the world. Relativity Entertainment has long been going to cooperate with Disney in this regard.

In the first half of this year, the two sides had initial contact, but later he did not respond positively...

Michael Eisner tentatively said: "Ronan, you are a shareholder of Disney and have a reason to participate in Disney affairs."

Ronan laughed helplessly: "I didn't expect that you and Roy Disney will go this far. According to my vision, you have worked with Roy Disney for more than 20 years and are also an old friend. This is ultimately an internal conflict. You can always find the same position and finally compromise with each other..."

Michael Eisner said: "It's not that I want to do this, it's Roy Disney!"

Now that the two of them can't compromise.

Ronan also knew this, but what he said was not like: "From the perspective of investors, in order to protect the interests of relativity entertainment, I suggest you sit together and talk."

"No way!" Michael Eisner's voice was deep: "I have had people contact Roy Disney, and Roy Disney said clearly that if I want to sit at the negotiating table, I must resign from the position of chairman and CEO of Walt Disney."

Luo Nan's face gradually became serious, as if he realized the seriousness of the problem.

"In order for the two sides to establish closer cooperation," Ronan said slowly: "Relativity Entertainment has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in Disney. A stable and developing Disney is in line with the investment interests of Relativity Entertainment."

Michael Eisner said directly: "Unless one of Roy Disney and I left completely, Disney will not be able to stabilize."

He looked at Ronan: "As a shareholder, Ronan, do you also have to make a choice?"

Ronan asked back: "What do you mean is to let me choose to support you at the shareholders' meeting?"

Michael Eisner specifically reminded: "Don't forget who gave Disney today."

But Ronan didn't speak, as if he was trapped in thinking.

"As we all know, Roy Disney is not good at management." Michael Eisner said: "Can he lead Disney to better development? On the contrary, if it weren't for Roy Disney, Disney would have ushered in a new situation under my leadership."

He looked at Ronan: "As a shareholder of Disney, shouldn't we choose the most suitable leader for the company's development?"

Ronan sighed softly: "Michael, what you said makes sense, but Relativity Entertainment... Well, what do you say? It's not just about considering the long-term interests of investment."

Michael Eisner laughed and said, "I can guarantee that as long as I continue to stay, Disney's peripheral channels will be opened for Relativity Entertainment in the future. All peripheral products of Relativity Entertainment will enjoy the same treatment as Disney's products within the channel."

In Michael Eisner's opinion, this condition is already very generous.

Ronan smiled, but said: "The last time we first met, we talked about this. The content related to "Pirates of the Caribbean" was authorized to Disneyland, and the products of Relativity Entertainment were sold in peripheral channels including Disney Town and Disney boutiques."

The meaning of this is quite clear. This is a transaction that has been negotiated a long time ago and cannot be used as a current condition.

Michael Eisner's eyes narrowed and he could vaguely hear the meaning of taking advantage of the situation.

These bastards are indeed not simple.

He asked tentatively: "Ronan, what do you want? Just say something."

Ronan still did not answer, but said: "Although Relativity Entertainment is only a small shareholder who holds shares, it does not want to intervene in Disney's infighting..."

Michael Eisner cursed in his heart, if he still believed such nonsense, he would be a fool!

Ronan's words continue: "But the current status, fame and appeal of Relativity Entertainment have some influence on the entire industry. Am I not a boastful person, right?"

Michael Eisner cannot deny this basic fact. In the past two or three years, Relativity Entertainment is definitely one of the best companies in Hollywood in terms of film and television production and distribution operations.

"Of course not." Michael Eisner said with a resentment in his heart.

"The choice of relativity entertainment will affect many shareholders." Ronan said without waiting for Michael Eisner to react: "This is Roy Disney's view. Therefore, Roy Disney attaches great importance to the choice of relativity entertainment..."

Michael Eisner understood that Roy Disney had certainly made some promises: "It seems that Roy has offered some conditions in order to win the support of Relativity Entertainment."

Ronan said naturally: "It's right to say that. In addition to the comprehensive cooperation between Disney and Relativity Entertainment in the surrounding channels, Roy Disney also promised me to help Relativity Entertainment become a member of MPAA!"

"What?" Michael Esnamoran was shocked and complained: Is Roy Disney crazy?

"It's not just that." Ronan was completely talking nonsense: "Roy Disney also licensed the peripheral and derivative copyrights of all Disney animated films to Relativity Entertainment."

There is a situation between Roy Disney and Michael Eisner, and there is no trust between the two. Even if Michael Eisner goes to verify, he will not believe what Roy Disney said.

In this situation, as long as Ronan says something outrageous, it is somewhat credible.

Michael Eisner shook his head: "This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" He stared at Ronan: "Roy Disney will not accept this condition."

Ronan spread his hands and looked open and open: "Michael, in the current situation, do I need to lie?"

Michael Eisner hesitated for a moment because he thought of one thing. Ronan's reputation and reputation are well-known in Hollywood and are recognized as one of the most honest and reliable people in Hollywood.

But these wouldn't make him believe those words. Roy Disney is a member of the Disney family and is famously conservative.

Moreover, the so-called major shareholder of Relativity Entertainment is actually not worthy of its name.

No one knows better than Michael Eisner, a member of the Walt Disney Group, who has developed in the first-hand period, that after years of financial operations and acquisitions, Disney's equity is very fragmented.

In this way, no one can dominate the whole family, and the one who benefits the most is him, the so-called professional manager.

"This incredible thing is incredible." Michael Eisner shook his head slowly and pointed to the key to the problem: "Roy Disney will pay such a great price for such a little support."

He simply said directly: "No one will give you a bargaining chip that is far beyond the reward for your support!"
