"Hello, Mr. Anderson."

In the reception room, a white man older than Ronan smiled and introduced himself: "I am Talawes Knight of Lycra Animation Studio. Your production company Shahai Entertainment has had contact with me. Unfortunately, Transformers chose Michael Bay as the director."

Hearing the person's self-introduction, Ronan immediately understood who he was, shook hands and said, "It was me who asked Shahai Entertainment to have contact with you. I think you would be a good director's choice, but later Michael Bay joined in, and I could only make a choice."

Talawes Knight didn't have those inexplicable emotions. His mind was generally clear: "I really have no persuasiveness in directorship than Michael Bay."

Ronan smiled and asked, "I don't know what's wrong with you coming to see me today?"

It seems that except for Transformers, Relativity Entertainment has nothing to do with Talawes Knight. This Nike prince, a veritable super rich second generation, shouldn't have come because of a director's profession.

Talawes Knight replied: "I am a Disney shareholder, a very small type. I got the equity from my father. I didn't care about Disney before, until recently these disputes about Disney happened."

He smiled and said, "I also know something about Disney's situation. Mr. Anderson, you have some Disney equity in your hands, and it seems to be supporting Michael Eisner?"

Ronan remained silent: "I want to safeguard the investment interests of Relativity Entertainment."

"I've always been interested in investing in big Hollywood companies," Talawes Knight said.

Ronan asked: "Do you want to acquire the Disney equity in Relativity Entertainment?"

"Yes." Talawes Knight admitted: "I want to be a major shareholder of Disney, and Disney has the channels that Leica animation needs."

This looks like a very thoughtful and ambitious young man.

To a certain extent, it also conforms to the character of Talawes Knight, a super rich second-generation who works hard in Hollywood.

However, Ronan was alert: "There are many shareholders in Disney, why did you come to me?"

Talawes Knight said naturally: "If Relativity Entertainment is willing to sell Disney's equity to me, I believe more people will be willing to trade with me later."

This sounds very reasonable. Ronan still has no idea of ​​relaxing his vigilance. Talawes Knight's reasons are sufficient and also in line with his personality, but are there any other purpose behind it?

Ronan has very low trust in strangers.

Or, those who are used to digging holes will naturally be wary of whether others are preparing to dig holes and bury people.

Talawes Knight said: "Mr. Anderson, I am very sincere. Leica Studios also needs Disney channels to promote it. This is a shortcut to cooperate with Disney."

This instantly reminded Ronan that as an animation studio, Disney's channel's appeal to Leica is self-evident.

In the face of this huge attraction, will anyone quietly hide behind Talawes Knight and push it?

Talawes Knight said the key point at this time: "I am willing to acquire Disney shares in Relativity Entertainment at a premium of 10% at a market price."

The price is very sincere, and even Ronan is a little moved.

If there is no potential next company, Ronan said he would not have to think about it carefully.

"Sorry, Mr. Knight." Ronan said with a faint smile: "Relativity Entertainment holds shares in Disney in order to strengthen cooperation with Disney. Disney shares are not a product for me."

"We can discuss the price again," Talawes Knight said.

Ronan smiled and insisted: "In the short term, Relativity Entertainment has no intention of selling Disney shares."

This is not completely dead. The so-called non-selling product, to put it another way, means that the price paid is not enough.

Talawes Knight was about to say goodbye, and stood up and said, "Mr. Anderson, I suggest you think about it."

Ronan shook hands with him: "Mr. Knight's kindness, I appreciate the relativity entertainment."

Talawes Knight took out his business card and handed it to Ronan with both hands: "This is my contact information, and we can strengthen the contact in the future."

Ronan politely exchanged business cards with him and sent Talawes Knight out of the reception room.

Back at the office, Ronan called Connie and said, "You can pay attention to Talawes Knight and check if he has anything to do with Disney's top executives, especially Michael Eisner and Roy Disney."

Connie responded quickly.

Although Ronan did not refuse firmly, he was also very cautious. Before Maple Leaf Pictures was completely confirmed, Talawes Knight could also be a spare tire to take over.

Even if there is a problem, it may be used as a bargaining chip.

On the other hand, Talawes Knight came out of the Relativity Building, and within less than an hour, he appeared in a yacht club in Santa Monica.

He changed to a small yacht to sea, and soon boarded a large yacht, which was not particularly far from the coastline.

Up to the top of the yacht, Talawes Knight met an old man with gray hair - Roy Disney.

"How is the talk?" asked Roy Disney.

Talawes Knight roughly described the situation and said: "Not optimistic, Ronan Anderson's willingness to sell is not very strong. Of course, he did not completely refuse. I think the price I offered was not enough."

Roy Disney's face was gloomy: "Isn't it satisfying the 10% premium?"

"Ronan Anderson is very cautious in terms of my contact with him, maybe he may not be suspicious."

Roy Disney said: "You keep in touch with him."

"Yes, I will strive to buy equity controlled by Relativity Entertainment, but I won't do more, and I can't afford to pay more than 10% premium," Talawes Knight said.

He reminded him: "Don't forget your promise."

Roy Disney said: "If I succeed, Disney will sign a good distribution contract with Leica Studios."

"That's it." Talawes Knight waved his hand: "I'm leaving."

Roy Disney called him: "You have someone reveal to the media that you are preparing to acquire Disney equity in Relativity Entertainment."

Talawes Knight understands Roy Disney's intention: "Unless the deal actually happens, it won't work too much."

Roy Disney insists: "It's good to have a little effect."

Although he made all kinds of efforts and continued to speak out through the media, he could not stop a series of good news from Disney from spreading, and Michael Eisner was clearly trying to get back his disadvantages.

Most importantly, his actions and remarks were a little too much a bit ago, which immediately caused a rebound from the centrist shareholders who originally supported him, criticizing him for doing so for his own selfishness and harming the interests of the entire Walt Disney.

Roy Disney could feel that behind this was not just Ronan Anderson and Relativity Entertainment, but also other powerful forces involved, and all of what they did led to the rise of Disney's stock price, confusing too many eyes.

Shareholders all like the rise in stock prices. The cooperation between Relativity Entertainment and Disney is precisely the key to the rise in stock prices this time.

If Roy Disney does nothing, the stock price will continue to rise. If the fanfare is to undermine the situation, will shareholders watch Disney's stock price be pulled down by him?

Just because of the actions some time ago, some centrist shareholders have changed their position to support Roy Disney.

Roy Disney discovered that in such a short time, this was simply unsolvable for him.

If you don’t move, the central shareholders will give up on him; if you don’t move, the central shareholders will also give up on him.

Roy Disney could not give up, so he thought of another solution and found Talawes Knight, who had previously asked Disney for cooperation.

If we can open up the situation from Ronan Anderson and Relativity Entertainment, it is possible to disintegrate the interest alliance represented by him.

This kind of candidate is hard to find, and no one in the circle is willing to take charge of the top big guys like Ronan Anderson. Talawes Knight is the candidate Roy Disney has finally found. After all, this kind of foreign super rich second generation does not care about the huge power of relativity entertainment.

Roy Disney experienced the powerlessness that Michael Eisner had before, but this old man who wanted to revitalize the Disney family had a calm personality and a very firm will.

In any case, Roy Disney will fight this war.

Moreover, to some extent, he is indeed on the justice side.

The next day Ronan and Talawes Knight met, some entertainment media and financial media published relevant news, claiming that the negotiations between Relativity Entertainment and Disney broke down, and Relativity Entertainment was preparing to sell three percent of its shares in Disney, and even reported that the next company took over at a 10% premium.

But the report was just released. When Ronan participated in a promotional event for "Hurricane Rescue 2", he personally denied the authenticity of the news.

"Relativity Entertainment and Disney will become strategic partners, and the negotiations will go very smoothly." Ronan vowed to many media reporters: "The earliest one is that after the New Year, the two sides may sign a series of agreements."

The news about the sale of Disney equity in Relativity Entertainment did not cause much reaction. After several large institutions on Wall Street ended, these could no longer affect the general trend.

Many financial institutions should use financial means to seek more benefits from Disney.

With the power support of Robert Iger, Ronan will not let Relativity Entertainment participate excessively in financial games, but he will not miss the benefits he should get.
