Chapter 875 975. The Superior
When Thomas began to ridicule and be aggressive in the meeting, the executives attending the meeting were already dumbfounded, and when Thomas dared to refute Iger, everyone almost popped their eyes.
"Is he crazy?"
"He dared to challenge Iger, I suspect he might have a mental problem."
"Wow, he dared to challenge Iger's authority, a real warrior."
Some executives had unbelievable expressions. It was really that Iger, the president of Disney, had too high a prestige. They couldn't even remember who the last executive who dared to challenge Iger was.
Looking at Iger's gloomy face, even though they knew that Iger was just angry about Thomas' attitude, the rest of the executives were all silent, not daring to breathe, including Jace who had just been ridiculed by Thomas.
This guy was sweating profusely at this time, and he looked at Thomas as if he was looking at a madman.
You have to know that this is Disney, and Iger is the king here. Does he want to die by challenging the king?
Thomas quickly told everyone the answer with his actions. He just didn't want to work at Disney anymore.
"This is my resignation letter. I hope the company can help me complete the resignation procedures as soon as possible." Thomas threw the resignation letter directly in front of Iger, then looked at Jess, who was sweating profusely, and then looked at the executives present.
"Goodbye."
Under everyone's unbelievable eyes, Thomas actually left the conference room with a smile like a winner.
Until the door closed, Jess, who was sitting in the chair, was relieved and held his breath. He was really scared just now. When Thomas's eyes were fixed on him, he was even scared to jump up from the chair, because he thought that Thomas, the madman, would directly take out some weapon to kill him.
After all, madmen are unreasonable. The key is that if he is really a madman, he doesn't have to pay for his life for killing people. This is too terrible.
Except for Jess who was scared, the other highlights in the conference room all lowered their heads. Of course, they were also looking at President Iger standing in the main seat with their peripheral vision.
After all, for many years, I have never seen anyone who dares to slap the president in the face like this. I didn't expect to learn something new today.
The key is that this person is their old colleague, and even in their eyes, he is a person with a good temper. If this incident had not happened in front of everyone today, I am afraid that no one would believe that the person who dared to challenge Iger would be that Thomas.
Of course, what they care more about now is how Iger will deal with this matter.
The whole conference room was terribly quiet, almost to the point where a pin drop could be heard. No one dared to speak, and even everyone unconsciously slowed down their breathing, for fear of attracting the attention of the boss who was angry at the moment.
Five seconds, ten seconds... After a full half a minute, Iger breathed a sigh of relief and finally spoke.
"Continue the meeting."
This sentence was like a switch, and the sound of the report soon rang out in the conference room. At the same time, many people also admired Iger's self-restraint. He was confronted by employees in person, but he could restrain his inner anger.
However, the more this happened, the more sympathetic many people were to Thomas. After all, the more restrained Iger was now, the more anger he would accumulate in his heart, and the only target for him to vent was Thomas, after all, it was Thomas who caused this incident.
Even if Thomas resigned at that time, he would probably have no place in this circle. After all, as the president of Disney, Iger didn't even need to speak up to ban a resigned employee. As long as someone spread the news this year, there would definitely be a large number of people willing to sell Iger this favor.
Because of Thomas' episode, everyone subconsciously sped up their speech when reporting, just to end the meeting as soon as possible, after all, the atmosphere was too terrible.
So the recollection that was originally scheduled to last for an hour ended in 45 minutes. After Iger announced the end of the meeting, he left the meeting room directly. His assistant didn't forget to take Thomas' resignation letter, and then followed Iger out of the room.
As Iger left, the originally very quiet meeting room instantly became like a vegetable market.
When Iger was there, everyone didn't dare to discuss it, but when Iger left, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the first thought was to express their suppressed thoughts.
"I heard that Thomas used to study international trade. I think he will try his luck on Wall Street. Maybe in a few years he will become an investor in our company's movies."
"Hahahaha, this joke is so funny."
"Doyle, you and Thomas are friends. Do you know what happened to him today?"
"Oh, God, he and I are just colleagues, not friends. I don't understand why he is like this. I think he may be crazy."
Naturally, none of these people who can get to the top of the executives are fools. Even those with low emotional intelligence know that they can't speak for Thomas at this time. After all, if someone with a small mind remembers your words and tells President Iger, then you don't know that the president will make things difficult for you.
And those friends who usually have a good relationship with Thomas have begun to distance themselves from Thomas one after another, either belittling or mocking Thomas in their words, as if they are completely determined to draw a clear line.
However, when this group of people were discussing, they did not realize that several people present did not participate in their discussion. Instead, as soon as the meeting ended, they packed up the documents and hurriedly left the conference room.
At this time, Iger returned to the president's office. When the office door closed, Iger no longer had to hide his anger and cursed directly as if to vent his anger.
He himself had forgotten the last time someone provoked him, because it was so long ago.
Ever since he took the throne of Disney President, no one has dared to challenge his authority for a long time. Those in the company who dared to challenge him have either been kicked out of Disney by him, or they cannot enter Disney's core circle at all.
At Disney, he feels like a king and everyone must surrender to him.
But what about today? That Thomas dared to contradict him directly in front of so many people. At that moment, Iger even forgot to be angry, because he was so surprised. He didn't expect that anyone in the company would dare to contradict him.
When in the conference room, Iger maintained restraint and did not get angry directly, but that did not mean that he would ignore this provocation. In fact, his inner anger far exceeded the imagination of the executives in the conference room.
"Do you think that by resigning, you can just pretend that this never happened?" Looking at Thomas's resignation letter that his assistant put on the table, Iger gritted his teeth and thought to himself.
It can be said that Thomas has been blacklisted in his heart, and this matter will not end with this resignation letter today.
Just when Iger was thinking about how to quietly carry out his will to deal with Thomas, he heard a sudden knock on the office door, and then saw his curvy assistant lady in a panic. Zhang ran in.
Normally, Iger wouldn't say anything given that the assistant has very good professional abilities.
But his mood was obviously not very good today. Even if he was the assistant, he couldn't give her a good look.
"Mr. President, what's wrong, DeWitt, Eden and Egbert all submitted their resignation letters!" The panicked female assistant didn't even consider the expression on Mr. President's face at this time. She was completely overwhelmed by the three resignation letters in her hand. The letter was frightening.
You must know that these resigned people are not temporary workers or ordinary employees, but senior executives with a certain status in the company.
As a company with tens of thousands of employees, Disney has countless people joining and resigning every year, but it is rare for four headquarters executives to resign on the same day.
After all, this is not a major decision-making mistake in the company, and someone must take the blame. To the female assistant, this is a completely ordinary day, but starting from Thomas's attack at the meeting, this day became unusual.
"Say it again!" Egg's face was as gloomy as before a storm on the sea, and his voice was not as gentle as usual. Instead, it was like an enraged lion king, full of anger, and even a kind of want. The feeling of tearing everything in front of me into pieces.
The female assistant looked at Iger and was so frightened that she immediately avoided her sight and even forgot to answer Iger's question.
"Are you deaf? I asked you to say it again!" Iger raised his voice and emphasized again.
"Yes, yes... DeWitt, Eden and Egbert submitted their resignations at the same time. This... here is the resignation letter." Only then did the heroine realize that she was still holding the three resignation letters in her hand. Quickly put it on Egger's desk.
After handing in her resignation letter, the female assistant stood there, wanting to walk out of the terrifying office, but Iger didn't speak, and she didn't dare to leave, so she could only stand there awkwardly and nervously.
Iger had already ignored the female assistant at this time, and his eyes were fixed on the three resignation letters on the table.
At the same time, he quickly sorted out the information about these three people in his mind, and finally found one thing in common, that is, these people who resigned together were in the same small group as Thomas in the company, and they were all core members of this small group.
Obviously, the resignation of the three people was not a small-probability coincidence at all, but a premeditated event.
Thinking of this, Iger calmed down. Thomas' resignation alone can be called impulsive, but these three people resigned together. So behind this resignation, it is obviously not a simple impulsive issue. Thomas and these three people must have something. A resignation letter will be submitted only when the company relies on the company or has better development prospects.
Egger is certain of this. After all, Thomas alone is crazy, and the remaining three cannot go crazy with Thomas. The chance of four people going crazy together is simply lower than a major lottery.
"Go and make me a cup of coffee." Just when the female assistant was about to collapse standing there, Egg finally came to his senses and then ordered very calmly.
"Okay." The female assistant felt like she was being pardoned and hurriedly ran to make coffee.
And Iger is still thinking, who gave people like Thomas the confidence to give up the generous treatment and energy of Disney and choose to change jobs instead?
What Iger can guess is that the other party should also be someone in the circle.
After all, people like Thomas have been working in Hollywood for so many years. The place where they are most familiar with and can best display their abilities is Hollywood. In other environments, what use would poaching them be? Is it really like what those people ridiculed? Because back then Thomas I graduated with a major in finance, so I can go back to my professional field.
This is a joke.
No matter how good Thomas' grades were at the time, after all, it had been twenty years, and all the knowledge he had learned had long been lost. Even if it had not been lost, it would have long been incompatible with the current financial investment philosophy, which means it was outdated.
There are also three other people who graduated from various majors. Among them, Eden even majored in veterinary medicine. The four of them have completely different majors. If they can resign together, then it can only be another movie. The company gave them better prospects and more exciting treatment conditions.
But who?
The first thing Iger thought of was Nie Wei. After all, among the big names Thomas knew, Nie Wei had more frequent contact with him. Moreover, the reason for Thomas' resignation was ostensibly because the company and Huayi had collapsed on the cooperation.
But soon Egger denied his speculation.
The key point that Iger found impossible was that Nie Wei did not have a film company in Hollywood. Could it be that Thomas was poached to help him manage the cinema?
Then Iger thought about a lot of his competitors. He knew that the coffee brewed by the female assistant at hand was cold, and he had no clue.
"No matter how cunning a fox is, he will show his hand. I don't believe that people like Thomas will disappear in Hollywood. As long as they appear again, that's when I know the answer." Iger is no longer entangled. He feels that if he waits a little longer, he won't Immediately launch revenge on Thomas and others.
After all, without knowing who the supporters behind Thomas are, taking rash actions may very well bring about very bad consequences.
At this time, several people who submitted their resignation letters all gathered at Thomas' home.
"Guys, I applaud your choice. From today on, we will start again in a new environment, but we will no longer have those dead guys on our heads. The new company will be led by our will. For the upcoming Let’s drink to this moment!”
"cheers!!!"
The four people clinked their wine glasses excitedly. Everyone had an excited expression on their face, especially Thomas, who had high morale written all over his face.
From the moment Nie Wei told him that Max Company was about to complete the acquisition and he was about to take over as acting president, Thomas knew that his chance to become a true master had finally arrived.
