On September 18, Disney CEO Bob Iger published an excerpt from his upcoming memoir in Vanity Fair magazineIn it, he revealed that if Steve Jobs were alive, the futures of Apple and Disney could be very different. Eagle wrote: "I believe that if Steve were still alive, we would have merged our company.
Or at least the possibility was discussed very seriously. ”
Eagle recalled his close friendship with Steve Jobs and Disney's $7.4 billion acquisition of Pixar in 2006. In 2006, Disney paid $7.4 billion for Pixar, an animated film production company that was accidentally owned by Steve Jobs when he left Apple. After that, Steve Jobs joined the board of directors of Disney, and in 2011 Eagle joined the board of directors of Apple.
It wasn't until a few days ago, on September 13, that Eagle stepped down from Apple's board of directors.
It's not hard to see why Eagle quit. At Apple's just-concluded autumn conference, Apple announced that its streaming service Apple TV+ will be launched globally on November 1 this year
The merger of Apple and Disney has been a focus of attention for foreign analysts. In particular, Apple has entered the ** content field in order to expand its Internet business, compared with Netflix, its shortcomings are obvious, and Wall Street believes that the acquisition of an original film and television company will make Apple twice as effective with half the effort. And Disney, as an entertainment content giant, is a good acquisition target.
According to Apple's third-quarter earnings report released last month, its current cash flow holdings are $210 billion, while Disney's current market capitalization is $246 billionThe real value of assets exceeds $300 billion. Forbes has made a financial model for Apple's acquisition of Disney, and concluded that the acquisition of Disney is strategic for Apple, but it will be a huge and complex deal that does not fit Apple's usual style, and Apple's largest acquisition before was the $3 billion acquisition of Beats.

The merger of two different industries I think will lead to a third industry.

There will definitely be a tertiary sector, and then there will be an increase in employment or something.

First of all, we should look at how Apple and Disney fell in love with each other. As we all know, the famous Apple is not in Apple smooth sailing, in the eighties of the last century, Jobs was kicked out of Apple by the Apple board of directors and became a lone ranger, until many years later, Apple could not continue to operate, and the last Apple came back, with the last period of his life to create Apple's glory. However, during the period when Jobs was swept away by Apple, he formed an indissoluble bond with Disney and <>
At that time, in 1985, Jobs sold all the ** he owned to buy an animated film company called Pixar. In 1988, Jobs paid $300,000 out of his own pocket to support Pixar's "Tin Iron Soldiers", which won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film and attracted Disney's attention. <>
It was at this time that the two sides began to work together, and in 1995, Disney and Pixar's first film "Toy Story" was released, which was a huge success and allowed Pixar to successfully achieve its own listingIn the end, Disney acquired Pixar for $7.4 billion, and Jobs became Disney's largest individual shareholder, and Jobs officially returned to Apple in 1998 and became the head of Apple. And it is precisely because of the entanglement between the two that the head of Disney has been on Apple's board of directors since 2011 and has been there today. <>
It is precisely like this, Disney is facing Apple's aggressive competition, at this time, if you can endure it because of the old friendship, it is not Disney, so it has become a normal thing for Disney to withdraw from the Apple board of directors, it can be said that from now on Disney and Apple have "cut off their robes and cut off their friendships", and they will see the real chapter on the battlefield when they meet again, but such a change is really embarrassing.
-
This is because Disney felt that Apple's future development potential was not great, so it decided to quit Apple's board of directors.
-
There isn't much overlap between Apple and Disney, but they are two big American giants.
-
Because both of them have a large fan market, they both want to occupy so many fans by themselves.
-
There wasn't much overlap between Apple and Disney, so it was decided to quit Apple's board of directors.
-
Apple and Disney are borrowed from each other, and each has a different consumer base.
-
The marketing model of the two is the same, and the route they are taking is also the same, Disney is just a different region.
-
Both of them have a large fan base, but they both want to dominate one side and monopolize the market.
-
The fan market is huge, so they all hope to occupy so many fans by themselves.

An April 17 Royal Bank of Canada analysis report said that Apple will buy Disney for $200 billion, with a specific deal of $223 billion, including a 9% tax rate. If a deal is reached, Apple will become the world's unrivaled super-giant company, with a market capitalization of more than $1,000 billion.
In fact, before AT&T acquired Warner last fall, Apple was also looking to buy Warner. "Content is Apple's focus, the size of the target company is not an issue, and Disney's strategy of diversifying into software by eschewing hardware will not dilute Apple's brand. Royal Bank of Canada analysts Steven Cahall and Leo Kulp said that Apple's cash reserves are huge, exceeding $200 billion.
This rumor of Apple's acquisition of Disney is generally considered by analysts to be risky, and Apple intends to buy Netflix. However, just like AT&T's acquisition of Warner, such a giant business transaction is still in the early negotiation stage, and even if the acquisition is negotiated, just like AT&T's acquisition of Warner, the transaction has not been officially completed.
It is reported that Steve Jobs's wife owns more shares in Disney than Apple, but she sold most of them in February this year, and it is unclear for what purpose.

Disney's current CEO, Bob Iger, has resigned from Apple's board of directors on September 10, 2019, according to a filing with the SEC on Friday. At this point, Apple's board of directors is reduced to seven members.
It's hard not to think of the streaming services that both sides are laying out. On September 11th, Apple held an autumn new product launch conference, and at the beginning, it first put the Apple TV+ subscription** subscription service on the table. After the press conference, a number of investment banks also reaffirmed Apple's "**" rating, one of the main reasons is to be optimistic about the "value" pricing of Apple TV+ in US dollars per month.
Since the beginning of this year, a number of technology and Internet giants have launched their own special streaming services. Among them, in March this year, Disney also launched a service called "Disney+" (US dollar month), and the main promoter behind it is Eagle. He said at the time that Disney+'s services would eventually include "the entire Disney movie library."
Disney+ is scheduled to launch in 2019 and will also feature live-action versions of Star Wars, the Marvel series, High School Musical, and Monster Power Inc. It will also launch a package that integrates Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ in USD.
It was previously reported that Iger's seat on Apple's board of directors could be at risk as Disney and Apple plan to compete for streaming services. One of Jobs' most trusted men, after Jobs' death in 2011, Disney's current CEO Bob Iger was nominated by Cook to join Apple's board of directors.
-
Because Disney's CEO has been doing his own research and development since he quit Apple, he said so.
-
This is mainly because their development direction is somewhat similar.
-
Because with the development of Apple, more and more fields are involved, so it has become an opponent.
-
Apple is also involved in Disney's scope, and they are doing more broadly, and Disney is out of Apple, and the two become competitors.
-
Because they still have some places to compete with, they turned out to be friends, and then they will become rivals.
-
Mainly after the exit, Disney may also develop in this area, so there will definitely be conflicts.
-
Because after he withdraws, he may develop related industries, which will definitely pose a certain threat to Apple.
-
Because they are constantly changing, there will be all kinds of different problems.
