Robert Eiger didn't stay for a long time. He chatted with Duke for a brief moment, then said goodbye and left the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. The topic between the two did not involve too much the dispute between Walt Disney and Duke and Warner Bros. Now people in Hollywood know that Pixar Studio is really going to break away from the Disney system.

Although the negotiations with Warner Bros. and the Duke Studios are still arguing, Steve Jobs' attitude is gradually becoming clear. If there is no big accident, the negotiation will definitely be successful.

"He's really just coming to visit you?"

In the suite, Tina Fe slowly turned the cup in her hand and asked curiously, "Are you going to have another purpose."

“We used to work with Walt Disney, but now…”

Rearing on the high-back chair, Duke slowly shook his head, "The Pixar Studio cake is so big, so big that it can make any partner turn against each other, and the cooperation between us and Disney has been too long."

How did the enemies he targeted in the past come into being? They were all people who reached his hands on his plate to grab cakes.

By the same token, Duke used Apple's major shareholder to have some impact on Steve Jobs in the matter of Pixar Studios, and has had a sharp conflict with Disney.

Especially Disney's emperor Michael Eisner, the loss of Pixar Studios has a great impact on his future.

At the Disney shareholders' meeting at the Disney shareholders' meeting at the beginning of this year, quite a few Disney shareholders have expressed dissatisfaction. If it weren't for Michael Eisner's past performance, it might even be voted for distrust by a considerable number of people.

According to Disney's regulations, once a voting shares voted forty percent of the total distrust vote, Michael Eisner must resign.

Although Walt Disney is no longer Disney of the Disney family, and Michael Eisner is ambitious, he is not as famous as Eisner.

“Eiger is a talented person.”

Duke always talks directly with Tina Fey. "He is also an ambitious person."

Robert Eiger, who was once a member of Walt Disney's eo after Michael Eisner stepped down, led the entire group to acquire Marvel Comics and Lucasfilm, opening a new era of fairy tale movies, and once brought Walt Disney to the position of the world's No. 1 media group.

How could such a person always be willing to endure Michael Eisner's exclusion?

He has not left Walt Disney until now. He must have had some intentions. By the same token, he came to see Duke and brought the relationship between the two sides closer again, not just for the past friendship.

Unless Duke is stupid, he will believe that Robert Eiger just simply comes to see him.

A Walt Disney, as powerful as once, undoubtedly does not meet Duke's interest demands. Now Disney is under the pressure of Michael Eisner for many years, and the management of Disney is still working together.

If Michael Eisner stepped down and was a layman in film production, but a gentler personality and better at marketing, Robert Eiger came on stage, it might be a blessing for Disney...

Duke and Robert Eiger have been in contact with each other more times. He knows that this is a very capable person.

"Do you want to help him?"

The only person who can ask such a direct word in front of Duke was Tinafe, "Help him squeeze Michael Eisner out?"

"How can we help?"

Turning his head to look at the female assistant. Duke picked up the water cup, took a sip, and then thought for a while before saying, "If it were Warner Brothers' eO, I have the ability to help him. Our hands can't fit into Disney."

He is indeed in Hollywood and has great power. However, he is not the center of the world.

Tina Fei suddenly changed into a joke tone, "It shouldn't be particularly difficult for him to grab Pixar Studios back.

Duke shook his head slowly, "I don't want Robert Eiger to succeed."

"Hmm..." Tina Fei thought for a while and understood what Duke meant, "A fast-growing Disney is not good for us..."

Speaking of this, she seemed to think of something else and suddenly changed the subject, "By the way, Duke, I heard a rumor."

"What news?" Duke asked.

“Water Disney wants to invest heavily in China to build the largest Disneyland in Asia.”

After Tina Fei said that, she explained a few more words, "According to Hollywood estimates, China's economic development is extremely fast. It may become the world's second largest film market within about ten years. With their special national conditions, it is not easy for any company's film to enter."

With his fingers gently pressed against the armrest of the chair, Duke's brows slowly frowned. If he was just a simple director, such issues would naturally not be considered. However, he is the major shareholder of Warner Bros., and he holds a huge amount of shares in Marvel in his hand, so he must consider some things.

He asked slowly, "Tina, how many Disneylands are profitable?"

"There are basically losses except for California and Florida." Tina Fey recalled the relevant information and said, "If the revenue from the park is just not very good, Disney has always wanted to transfer some shares in two Disneylands, Paris and Tokyo, to alleviate financial pressure."

In fact, Duke is very clear that the cost of maintaining a Disneyland is too great. The purpose of building a Disneyland is never as simple as a paradise.

For example, it is more like a huge platform. The Disney goods selling town in front of Disneyland is the focus of Disney's revenue generation.

Disneyland's share transfer has always been to excluding Disney towns.

"This is a stepping stone."

After standing up and walking in the living room for a few steps, Duke quickly recalled other aspects. "Building a Disneyland requires huge investment, and not just Disneyland, but also the surrounding hotels and other supporting facilities. The investment effect that Disneyland can drive is likely to exceed $30 billion."

"In any country..." Tina Fee looked at Duke and said, "This is an investment that cannot be refused."

She looked a little puzzled, "There is already a Disney in Hong Kong."

"But this Disneyland has a greater meaning." Duke stopped, stood in front of the hotel window and looked to the west, saying, "As such a large investment can be achieved, Disney will inevitably be favored by the government there, and its products can even enter the other party's markets, such as movies and movies around..."

Just not adding too long to North America's release time can bring huge revenue to a film.

Are there any Hollywood films that will be released in the opposite market for one month in the future that have been released?

"This is not good for us." Tina Fei immediately thought of the key, "The other party has a fixed quota for the number of movies introduced every year. If Disney gets too much share, our movies..."

She immediately thought of Marvel and D's plan for the universe, which were super investments of hundreds of millions or even 200 million US dollars. If the market opposite is really as attractive as expected, Disney would definitely harm their interests.

Walking back to the side of his seat, Duke slowly sat down, frowned and thought about the future. Disney, the former big move, undoubtedly achieved great success after using Disneyland, and the investment was not as high as expected.

The most typical one is undoubtedly funds. Even the Walt Disney Group cannot afford such a amount of funds to build a Disneyland.

If he remembers correctly, the funds used by Disney Group to build that Disneyland were loans from several state-owned banks on the other side. Disney only used future income as collateral, but in fact the amount of its own funds was almost negligible.

All of this can be said to be related to Robert Eiger, and it once happened during his tenure.

"Tina, let's stare at Egg." Duke looked at the female assistant, "A chaotic Disney meets our needs."

The best situation is that Robert Eiger and Michael Eisner fight to the death, which will inevitably affect Disney's performance and operations.

He then said, "You go back to Los Angeles and meet Doug Walter, and it's my idea. Can Warner consider building a Warner world on the other side? If possible, let them contact each other first and reveal some relevant information."

Tina Fey immediately understood Duke's idea, "Squeeze Disney out on more favorable terms?"

"It's best to squeeze out..."

Duke sighed softly. Although Warner World is also very famous, its popularity on the other side is far from comparable to Disneyland.

The two discussed a few more details. Tina Fei had just called Duke's business jet captain and was about to go back to the room to pack his luggage. A crisp knock on the door suddenly rang.

Tina Fei went over and opened the door, talked to a staff member of the crew for a while, then closed the door and walked back, holding an exquisite invitation letter in her hand.

Duke looked at the gilded design and asked curiously, "Who sent the invitation?"

“You are invited to the premiere.”

After coming over, Tina Feare handed the invitation letter to Duke, "This is specially sent by David Ellison to invite you to attend the premiere of "Air War Heroes" in New York."

"He is really meant."

Duke opened his eyes and put it aside, "It seems that David Ellison is full of confidence in his new film."

"I heard he also played a role in the film." Tina Fee asked, "Are you going?"

"Of course I have to go." Duke stood up, "Why not go?" (To be continued)
