Disney's acquisition of Marvel is not favored by the market at all.

In his previous life, Robert Iger worked hard and played many tricks for this matter. As a listed company, Disney kept this deal secret for nearly a year.

The reason is that they are worried that after the news comes out, the market's reaction will be too negative, causing the stock price to plummet. Then the board of directors will be under too much pressure, causing the transaction to abort.

For such a large company and such a large transaction, it is not easy to keep it secret for such a long time.

At the end of 2009, after a series of secret operations and negotiations, Disney suddenly made it public, saying that Disney had completed the acquisition of Marvel for US$4.2 billion.

Then, public opinion was in an uproar.

Disney's stock price plunged nearly 4% in response, causing Disney to suffer huge criticism. Even the black president in the White House organized a luncheon for entrepreneurs and called Disney's chairman Robert Iger over, insinuating that he was too stupid.

.

This is also normal.

Elon Musk also grew up step by step amid scolding and ridicule.

Public misunderstanding is a common phenomenon.

Zhou Buqi is optimistic about the future of Marvel. The most intuitive judgment is of course foresight.

However, even without foresight, he can still analyze that Marvel can shine in the next few years. He can make a judgment based on his deep understanding of Internet streaming media and his understanding of how the entertainment industry operates.

But here comes the problem...

Just like Zhen Yu said.

He can make strategic judgments from the trend of industrial changes and the Internet leading the times. Can others do the same? Ordinary people cannot make such judgments, but geniuses can!

Zhou Buqi doesn’t know much about Robert Egger.

But Steve Jobs is famous.

He must have this kind of thinking tendency.

He is the majority shareholder of Disney. Without his strong promotion and support, Robert Iger would never have been able to complete the acquisition of Marvel.

Zhou Buqi said in a deep voice: "It seems that the key point is Steve Jobs."

Zhen Yu nodded slightly, "Can you convince him?"

"Well..." Zhou Buqi looked stern, "I'm not familiar with him. It doesn't matter whether we are familiar or not. He is the major shareholder of Disney, so we have close interests."

Zhen Yu suggested: "Didn't you contact Masayoshi Son? He is very familiar with Steve Jobs. How about you ask him to help persuade?"

Zhou Buqi sighed, "Jobs is famous for his paranoid personality. How could he listen to others' advice?"

"What should we do?"

"Can you find a way to drive a wedge between Steve Jobs and Robert Iger?"

"ah?"

Zhen Yu's lips parted slightly, quite surprised.

This Boss Zhou always has such a strange way of thinking.

Zhou Buqi pondered: "Try it from this angle first. If it doesn't work, I won't care about business ethics. Well, do you understand the relationship between Jobs and Iger?"

"It mainly revolves around Pixar." Zhen Yu paused for a moment, then slowly explained, "Back then, the head of Disney was Michael Eisner, and Disney's film industry hit rock bottom. Disney cartoons were replaced by Pixar.

, DreamWorks, Blue Sky Animation, and Sony Animation have all been surpassed. It has been ten years since they produced a hit cartoon. The film production value is not to mention that of Warner.

Compared with Hollywood giants such as Universal, Sony, Fox, and Paramount, even MGM and DreamWorks can't compare. Then, Michael Eisner stepped down and Robert Iger took over. After Iger came to power, the first

The thing was to save Disney’s animation industry and transform from traditional 2D hand-drawn animation to 3D computer animation, so we approached Steve Jobs to acquire Pixar.”

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Well, that's right. Disney's acquisition of Pixar is not only a tactic, but also a strategy. It is not only to eat Pixar's animation and production team, but more importantly, to buy their CG animation technology.

, and then integrated into Disney animation.”

Zhen Yu pursed her lips and said, "Yes, the 3D animation "The Little Mermaid 3" with CG technology released last year is quite good."

"Pixar...so the relationship between Iger and Jobs is only based on interests?"

"Not necessarily, Steve Jobs is the largest shareholder, and... Apple is launching a new plan to open an Apple experience store, which is not a mobile phone retail store in the traditional sense, but an experience store..."

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "No need to explain more, I know, it's an experience store."

Zhen Yu said: "This is very similar to the idea of ​​​​the Disney store. It is to give children an experience, not to sell goods, but to provide the best service. But as long as the service is good, children will definitely cry and clamor to buy. Apple just

Change the Disney model from children to adults."

"Damn!" Zhou Buqi was stunned, "Listening to what you said, why do you feel like they have a gay relationship... Well, it seems like they have the same goals?"

Zhen Yu was not sure, "Anyway, the relationship between Apple and Disney is very special. When Apple first launched iTunes, many music companies were waiting and watching, and Disney was the first to cooperate."

Zhou Buqi frowned, "Senior Sister Zhen, find some knowledgeable people to ask and find out what's going on with these two people."

It feels very bad!

It seems difficult to drive a wedge between these two people.

"Oh, I'll go back and make some phone calls."

Zhen Yu lowered her eyes, stood up and walked out of the study. Her waist was so slim, her beautiful buttocks were so perky, and her back was so beautiful.

Zhou Buqi felt a little helpless.

There is a feeling of not knowing where to start.

"Boss? Boss?" Ning Lu called several times from the side.

"Ah? What's wrong?"

"Are you attracted to her?"

Zhou Buqi said seriously: "Don't talk nonsense."

"Yes, I can see it." Ning Lu curled her lips and muttered in a low voice, "You're still pretending."

Zhou Buqi was stunned for a moment, "Did you see it?"

Ning Lu raised her fair chin slightly, "Yeah."

"How can you tell?"

"Your eyes are always staring at her breasts, waist, butt, thighs and so on. You have a dreamy expression."

"Ah? That's not true, right?" Zhou Buqi was very surprised, "Is it so obvious?"

Ning Lu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "It's obvious, at first glance, she wants to sleep with her."

Zhou Buqi's old face couldn't help but blush, "Don't talk nonsense."

I didn't expect that after so many years in the world, my inner strength was still so shallow, but I could be seen through by a little secretary who had only been in the workforce for two months.

Ning Lu said with a smile: "Other times, he is fine. He is dignified in front of other women and acts like a gentleman. But during this time, something is not right in front of Mr. Zhen. He seems to have ideas at first glance."

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "I am a gentleman to begin with!"

"But you..."

"Don't make blind guesses if you don't understand. Go get some fruit... Damn it, call and ask when my housekeeper and maid can deliver it to me!"

…

It seems that I can no longer hide it.

Even Ning Lu could see it, and Senior Sister Zhen Yu might have discovered it long ago.

In this case, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

You can get straight to the point!

Since the family didn't have a housekeeper, a maid, or a chef or a nanny from outside, they went out for dinner, found a high-end hotel, and had a Spanish feast with a table full of seafood.

Zhou Buqi coughed a few times and planned to start with Senior Sister Zhen Yu's fiancé and get to the bottom of it first.

If the relationship is stable and the relationship is passionate, don't ruin it.

However, Zhen Yu did not give him a chance to speak, but instead talked about Jobs and Robert Iger.

"I have inquired about some more details, and I think they will be of great reference value to you."

"Oh? Tell me."

Zhou Buqi remained calm and diligently peeled off a crab leg and put it on her dinner plate.

Zhen Yu said softly: "It is said that they have a very good relationship. Iger's wife is Steve Jobs's ex-girlfriend. With this connection, they hit it off immediately when they first met and became good friends."

"Depend on!"

Zhou Buqi was stunned.

I can’t understand the source of friendship among these Americans. It turns out that having more girlfriends has the benefit of casting a wider net and making more friends!

Zhen Yu said: "In 2005, Iger went to find Jobs and wanted to discuss the acquisition of Pixar. However, the first thing the two talked about when they met was not Pixar, but iTunes."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Well, Disney puts all its music on iTunes, you said that."

"It's more than that!"
