Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 275 Happy Cooperation
"Thank you both so much this time! Cheers!"

A secret club in Los Angeles is unremarkable on the outside, but inside there is a feast of lights and beautiful women everywhere.

Roy sat in a spacious room, holding a glass of red wine high and paying respect to Li Wannian and Li Wanshui opposite.

"You're welcome, after all, this is a deal! However, we have done what we promised you, so next, Roy, it is your turn to help us!"

During the daytime board meeting, with the help of the company's major shareholder and second shareholder, Roy won a great victory and successfully removed Miller from his position as CEO.

"That's natural, otherwise I wouldn't invite you two over! No, people are here!"

Following Roy's eyes, a tall, handsome middle-aged man with a bookish air appeared at the door of the box.

"Let me introduce, Michael Eisner, formerly the president of Paramount Pictures! Our future CEO of Disney!"

After Roy introduced the two of them, he introduced them to Eisner.

"These two are Mr. Li from Hong Kong Island, the major shareholders of Disney!"

"Hello everyone! Hong Kong Island is a beautiful city. I like Hong Kong Island movies very much!"

Looking at the future "Disney Tyrant", Li Wannian did not expect that after contacting him, he found that he was very kind.

"What a coincidence. The company of these two has a film company! And it is also the most famous film company in Hong Kong Island!"

"No, that's my second brother's, not ours!"

Li Wanshui then opened his mouth to explain.

"I see, you brothers are really awesome!"

Roy's compliment was not a compliment, it was a sincere compliment.

In last year's acquisition case, after Roy discovered that his plan had not failed, he went to investigate. The result surprised him. The person who failed him was not his opponent or friend, but a company from Hong Kong Island. investment company.

After an in-depth investigation, we learned that the owners of this company are the Li brothers, who have suddenly risen to prominence on Hong Kong Island in recent years.

Starting from scratch in 1976, he established a comic company based on the comics of his third brother in the family. After that, he developed rapidly and owned many assets such as a TV station, animation company, and newspaper. Last year, he made a fortune from the stock market and has already extended his business. When it comes to banks, real estate companies and other industries, they can be called real chaebols!

Although overall, due to the small scale of the company, the funds are not very strong, but it is still much better than the Disney family.

More importantly, their family is much more united than their own Disney family. It is precisely because of this unity that they have surpassed Disney's decades of hard work in less than ten years.

And this is what Roy envies them the most!
The entrepreneurial story of the Li brothers even reminded Roy of the time when his father and uncle founded Disney.

Roy has always been fascinated by the story of the two of them starting their business. Unfortunately, their generation has fallen into endless internal strife, so much so that even the Disney Company is about to fall apart!
"I already know your conditions. Please rest assured that as long as I can be elected as the CEO of the company, I will definitely step up the cooperation between Disney and DreamWorks. We are both animation and comic companies, and we have many things in common with each other! "

After sitting down, Eisner immediately began his campaign speech and gave Li Wannian a guarantee. "It's not just cooperation, but more importantly, we need Disney's global sales channels!" Li Wannian specifically emphasized.

And this is indeed one of the purposes of Li Wannian's visit to the United States this time!

Although Li Wannian bought some shares of Disney, he never thought of fully controlling Disney. That is simply unrealistic!
Not to mention that I currently don’t have that much money in hand. Even if I do, the US government may not agree.

The people of Hong Kong are not Neon people. Sony can acquire Colombia because Neon is the godson of the United States. Since the signing of the Hiroshima Agreement, the United States has been holding its eggs tightly and is not afraid of Neon falling out.

But Hong Kong Island is different. This place is not something that the United States can have the final say at all!

Therefore, from the very beginning, Li Wannian’s plan was to become a major shareholder of Disney, and then draw the nutrients needed for the development of DreamWorks from the big tree of Disney.

"That's natural. In addition, Mr. Century is a famous cartoonist in Asia. He may also be able to provide excellent content works for us at Disney!"

Although Eisner has been criticized for some of his actions and practices, he has to admit that he has outstanding abilities and a very smart mind. He knows how to use what he has in reality to create the greatest benefits for himself.

For his own sake, Eisner not only fully agreed to the other party's request, but also used the company's resources to help shareholders benefit.

The other party wants Disney's global channels, and undoubtedly intends to sell its own products. If that's the case, then I'll let you come directly to Disney and use Disney's resources to create works.

He succeeded because he had a keen eye for knowing people, but failed because his shareholders insisted on going their own way. It can be said that from this point alone, he is already in an invincible position.

In addition, Li Wannian's creative ability is exactly what Disney needs most right now!

Since the 70s, a large number of outstanding new Disney creators have been generally frustrated by the stagnation of Disney animation. Even animators headed by Don Bluth have left Disney and established their own studios.

At this time, everyone had doubts about Disney's previous successful children's animation model, and began to exert efforts in multiple directions, but like a headless fly, they could not find the next development direction at all.

Since the other party can rise rapidly in less than ten years, it must mean that the other party's creative talent is very good. Although the aesthetics of Asian audiences and North American audiences are different, the other party's talent is already worthy of Eisner's attention. tried!

"I will consider this matter! At present, I don't know much about the preferences of North American audiences, and I need to know more!"

Li Wannian was indeed a little moved by Eisner's invitation.

Li Wannian doesn't lack ability, he just lacks opportunities!

If you can use the big platform of Disney to let your works be seen by people all over the world, your fame will skyrocket!
After all, I have a lot of classic Disney animations in my head!

However, after careful consideration, Li Wannian still chose to decline.

Coming to Disney to create animations will consume a lot of his energy and time, disrupt his plans, and cost more than he gains.

More importantly, things created at Disney may not necessarily belong to him!
