Chapter 736: Can't exceed 60% of mine
Orwitz and Joe Ross soon met at the hotel in Aspen. Joe Ross was formerly Orwitz's client and he knew very well about Orwitz's dominance in CAA.
So, as soon as we met, Joe Ross opened the way to Orwitz: "I'm very worried. After you come to Disney, will you use your relationship at CAA to bypass me to develop movie projects and undermine my work at Disney?
”
"Why do you think so?" Orwitz pretended to be very surprised, but he had another idea in his heart. Of course I would do this. When I gain a foothold at Disney, how could I be restricted from
What about ABC's field?
Although large companies are different from small companies, it is impossible to directly reach the grassroots level by themselves, arranging some of their own people to gradually occupy the key position and thus undermine you senior executives is not a very basic operation?
"What would you do? Michael? I know you. When you were in CAA, you would never allow disagreement in the company. I don't want this to affect our friendship, so Michael, you can now
Tell me the truth?"
Joe Ross looked at Orwitz and was so angry that he was so angry. He had a lot of hope to succeed him after leaving Carsonberg and became Disney's COO. Eisner also had many private occasions.
He once hinted that he was Joe Ross the best candidate to replace Frank Wells who died in a helicopter crash.
Why did an Orwitz come suddenly? You are not a king in your CAA's small kingdom, why do you come to a big kingdom like Disney to compete with yourself? It's really confusing.
"You can trust me as much as you used to, Joe. I won't snatch your job." Orwitz showed the fake smile he had learned when he was an agent, and repeatedly assured Joe Ross.
Finally, Joe Ross expressed his belief in Orwitz's promise and said that he would work closely with Orwitz in the future to make Disney's live-action film business flourish.
After chatting with Joe Ross, Orwitz was going back to talk about salary with Eisner. His face was still full of professional training and a very confident smile, but his heart was full of suspicion.
This is by no means a good phenomenon. Orwitz felt that Eisner was not as he imagined, after heart surgery, and he was still testing himself.
Today's meeting with Joe Ross is a practice called meeting subordinates, but actually testing his own leadership. Joe Ross is someone he was familiar with in CAA, and he is a very typical subordinate. He has this
If you have any thoughts and worries, you can communicate directly with yourself. Eisner must want to see how he communicates with such subordinates.
Outside Eisner's room, Orwitz waited for a while before the door opened. Eisner smiled and said sorry, saying that he had to answer his wife Jane's call.
Orwitz suspected in his heart that this might be the phone call of Joe Ross, who had just met him, but he remained silent on his face. After the two sat down, he raised the issue of salary to Eisner.
"If you have an annual salary, I feel that I can set it to one million dollars..."
Eisner looked at Orwitz and felt a little relieved. He was indeed talking to Joe Ross about his opinion on Orwitz.
Eisner is testing Orwitz. What he fears most is Orwitz who is as tough as inside Disney and is like before in CAA.
Disney is a bossless listed company with no shareholders in the controlling position. Even the Bass family, which holds the most shares, cannot reach the point of dominating the strategy, not to mention that the Bass family is still obedient to it.
No one can get absolute voice from equity in such a company. The voice of senior executives needs to be obtained by themselves through various attitudes. What is most worrying about by Orwitz is that when he was in CAA,
A kind of attitude of being the same.
This attitude can easily establish authority in a place like Disney with many factions and a few outstanding commercial actions. Especially since I have just had a heart surgery, I said there was nothing wrong, but my energy was indeed much worse than before.
.
If Orwitz kept provoking trouble and took advantage of his lack of energy to manage too much, he gained authority in front of his subordinates, then he would be in trouble.
What I most ideal is that Orwitz changed his attitude of being a one-man in CAA and instead adopted a good communication attitude. Then he would not be threatened in a Colosseum like Disney.
For this reason, he specially gave him a trap to see these subordinates who were dissatisfied with him first. As long as he did not try to suppress them at the beginning, these naughty young men would not be afraid of Ovi.
It's gone.
The feedback from Joe Ross is very good. Orwitz seems to have lost the strong confidence he has developed after being backstung by Bronfman Jr. and Ron Mayer. Now he treats a small role like Joe Ross.
When he was, he was also "kind and friendly", so he didn't have to worry about not being able to control him in the future.
"One million dollars?" Orwitz did not respond immediately when he heard this low ridiculous number. After all, this is not a small business like CAA with hundreds of employees, and Eisner should not be a fool.
You might as well listen to what he can say.
"Then your bonus is determined based on the performance of the Disney Group..." Eisner said his considerations.
Low annual salary can be more convenient to obtain shareholder approval. High performance bonuses are not easy to become a news point in view of media that do not care much about Disney but only care about news. In addition to professional financial media such as the Wall Street Journal, it is estimated that
No one will report it.
At that time, when Eisner first came to Disney, he used this trick to gain recognition from the board of directors. In the following years, he made a lot of money and did not attract any special attention.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "OK, this is a good idea..." Orwitz's face showed a smile of "everyone understands it", "Then, my options
How to determine? Is it also linked to performance?"
The key is not the bonus that can be linked to performance of up to 20 to 30 million yuan a year, but options. The reason why Eisner was able to get a net worth of over one billion is not because of these bonuses of tens of millions, but options.
When using the stock price when entering the company as an option, and then cashing it in a few years, this wealth accumulation rate will increase by orders of magnitude.
"That's fine, hehehe..."
Eisner smiled happily. At this time, the two became comrades in the same trench again, both of whom were pulling away the wool of Disney shareholders, so let's go together.
"However, I want to add an additional clause for this option..." Eisner suddenly put away his smile and stared at Orwitz...
Orwitz is very familiar with this kind of look. When he was at CAA, he treated unfaithful agents and was also in a good-eventful meeting. He suddenly used this aggressive look to make the other party nervous.
However, it is definitely useless to use Eisner on himself. The lion will not be afraid of the threat from another lion.
"Your income in options and bonuses cannot exceed 60% of my total income..." Eisner felt a little contemptuous of Orwitz. When a lion faces provocation, he will always add it as soon as possible.
Fight back.
After being fucked by a young man like Bronfman, Orwitz lost his fighting spirit. He is no longer a lion like Limphrase, nor is he a lion who dares to attack the throne like Scar.
At most, they are just hyenas like Banzai.
"Can I ask why?" Orwitz felt that he still had to ask the reason clearly.
"Because I am the chairman, and you, my friend, will only be the CEO after winning the trust of shareholders in the future." Eisner declared proudly.
"No, how can I become CEO and still gain the trust of future shareholders?" Orwitz was happy that he had received 60% of Eisner's salary. This was not a small amount of money. Before he agreed to join Disney, he would do it
After research, Eisner's annual income is over 100 million.
On the other hand, he felt angry again. As expected, Eisner spoke as he thought, and he was not sure of his position as CEO. After he agreed, he became a joint CEO and worked with him.
Today, it has changed again, and it has continued to be downgraded to the future after gaining the trust of shareholders, only then can it become CEO...
"But, Michael, you told me that we want to be the co-CEO, but in charge, I will manage more ABC business?"
"Hehe..." Eisner sneered in his heart. It seems that I am not wrong. Orwitz is an obedient little hyena. I have demoted him like this. People with self-esteem have long suggested that they will not do it at Disney.
It's right.
But Orwitz still took a fancy to the salary I promised, which was 60% of his own, which was the second highest salary within Disney. In addition, he was also told by himself that he would become CEO after he was recognized by the shareholders.
Temptation, thinking that he could slowly replace his Eisner's position and become the successor?
"Michael, this is the first lesson you want to learn at Disney. Disney is a company that has a lot of noise every time you hold a board meeting. You know, Frank Wells, may he rest in heaven, and when he is there, it is just
Holds the position of company president.
I have 100% trust in your abilities, but those annoying directors do not know anything. They will only say that Frank worked hard and had only the title of president. If you don’t make any contributions in Disney, you will have to win more than you can
Frank's location...
Some people also said that instead of doing this, it would be better to get Kasenberg promoted at that time, which made me very angry."
"What do you say?" Orwitz decided to endure it and not turn against him in person. After all, after he had turned against Browfman in person because of inappropriate conditions before, the young man actually removed himself from the candidate list because of the inappropriate agreement.
Deleted in it.
When dealing with personnel, these large listed companies are indeed completely different from small companies like CAA. In CAA, as long as they act as if they want to make a move, those people will obediently submit, and few people can do so without their own agency.
The actors decided to break up like this. This is a valuable experience for their own learning. It is better to slow down in a large company. If they can slow down, maybe there will be a turning point in Bronfman.
"These people actually don't know Hollywood. They don't know how difficult it is to be able to achieve such a status in Hollywood as the CEO of CAA, and how difficult it is to bring you to Disney..."
Eisner changed his tone and stood on Orwitz's side.
"I won't treat you badly. Although I don't have a CEO position, I suggest that they give you two titles of COO (Chief Operating Officer) and President. These two positions were originally Frank Wells and Carsonberg
Two people are in charge, so you are still Disney's second-ranked executive, just below me.
After those directors can understand the value you bring to Disney for a while, I suggest you be the CEO. Then I can retire smoothly.”
"If I were COO and president, then who would I report to?" Orwitz asked. This reporting line is something more critical than a position.
According to Eisner, if he is the CEO or co-CEO, he means that he will report directly to the board of directors, so Eisner can't directly control himself in such matters without any problems.
"Of course, I report directly to the board of directors. Michael, I used to have this architecture with Frank Wells. We worked very happily. I hope I can work as happily as you. This is my original intention of inviting you to Disney.
I like working with my friends…”
"Of course, I understand, I understand..." When Orwitz heard this, he felt half relieved.
"Haha, let's open champagne and we can have the lawyers draft your employment documents. It's great, toast to our friendship..."
...
"I heard that Disney's legal affairs and public relations have begun to prepare a press release for Orwitz's official franchise."
Richard stood in front of Ronald, laughing. Ronald was lying beside the sofa, playing face game with his daughter Linda, making Linda laugh. This person is really the most Hollywood people
Celebrities are different and retain many middle-class values.
However, directors are more in contact with society than celebrities, and there is no pressure from fans and paparazzi. In addition, Ronald's wealth level is similar to Spielberg and Lucas. These people are the same.
All can enjoy the isolation of the paparazzi by the super rich and live a normal life happily.
"Very good, how is your control over CAA doing?" Ronald handed his daughter to Helen, then turned around and asked Richard.
"Just wait for Disney to announce that I can vote on partners... Rick Nisita has also returned from Prague, Czech Republic, and is waiting for this big thing..."
"It's very good. Just take my plane back with Kevin Huwen..." Ronald put away his thoughts. The British patient was also very smooth, and he got the bid from his own buyout. Thor Za
