Chapter 519: The Value of Expertise
The critical moment came, and no one spoke in the office. At this time, expressing one's position means responsibility, and no one dares to believe Fang Zhen's words and give up the original plan. Soros's prestige is also very trustworthy to everyone.
It's not okay if no one takes a stand on this issue, even if you don't agree with Fang Zhen's words, someone has to speak.
But no one spoke, and no one was willing to take responsibility. In the end, someone said, "I don't think it matters, it's how the specific team works." We just need to pass on the message, and whether we accept it or not is their business. ”
The president suddenly slapped the table angrily and said loudly: "This is really a brilliant idea, does it mean that our team has no ability to discriminate? Damn, this is a feast, once we can't get enough benefits, what will the shareholders think of all of you here? What will happen to our wealth management product sales in the future? How can I gain the trust of customers?"
Everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke, and the president stood up even more excitedly: "Do you think that no matter how the market changes, we people will not get a penny less? Is it because of your insensitive efforts that Goldman Sachs has achieved today's achievements?"
Liszt had been weighing the pros and cons, and felt that the opportunity had come, so he coughed and said, "Everyone, if you start from the perspective of professional knowledge, I think everyone's grades in college are very good." So may I ask you, who of you has achieved Fang's achievements? Who has made a bet on Microsoft's new system before it is released? Who has directly intercepted Netscape at a high price when it is launched? So the question is, is our expertise useless?" Liszt said as he looked around, and everyone listened intently.
"Frankly, I think I have to choose between our expertise and the market instincts of a wealthy man who has proven himself in the financial markets, and I think I would choose the instinct of that billionaire. Of course, the premise is that most of the rich man's net worth is obtained in the financial market, and when it comes to industry, it is just the original capital accumulated by the rich man. ”
While everyone was still thinking about it, Liszt reiterated again: "I think we can clearly remind the team in Hong Kong City that Soros is likely to be in trouble with the Hong Kong dollar." I am willing to take responsibility for the consequences. ”
"Liszt, what you say makes a lot of sense, I agree with you. Speaking of responsibility, count me in. Damn, let's take a gamble and see who can have the last laugh. I will sort out my opinions and report them to the headquarters, and you are free to choose whether to gamble or not. "This president is really gambling.
When I saw Liszt again, it was already noon the next day, Mr. Fang appeared rubbing his sore waist, and when he saw Liszt, he greeted him with a smile: "Aha, Li, it seems that Goldman Sachs attaches great importance to my advice." ”
Liszt didn't look like he was benefiting at all, but shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: "Suggestions, we can only be suggestions, and the specific team has nothing to do with me." I don't think your kindness is enough for us to make any concessions on the plan to go public at Summit Pictures. It's a different business. ”
"Ha, your words have made me fully and soberly aware of the greed and shamelessness of Wall Street, which is why I have always been reluctant to visit Wall Street. For that reason, I don't even want to go to New York to see Lady Liberty. Fang Yu lazily went back, to be honest, he really didn't think about making a profit on the issue of listing. I just hope these bastards don't make trouble.
"Thanks for the compliment, I think you'll still go to New York when Summit Pictures goes public, because you need to ring the bell. Liszt thought that Fang Zhen was praising him, after all, it was commonplace for people to be scolded on Wall Street. The current people in the United States do not have much hatred for Wall Street, and it will take time to accumulate before a movement like Occupy Wall Street will occur.
"Let's talk about it then, is there anything else?" Fang Yu also became indifferent, just don't be polite to these people.
"As a thank you for your suggestion, we have organized a party, and I have come to invite you. Liszt explained the intention, which is the meaning on the surface. The real idea is that Liszt felt that Fang Zhen had full potential and was worth investing in.
Fang Yu didn't understand his intention, but he felt that it was not a bad thing to make contact, and nodded: "It depends on the time, and there will be a party organized by Summit Pictures tomorrow night, welcome to Mister Lee." ”
"I am sure that we will have a good time working with you in the future. Liszt felt that Fang Yu had realized his kindness, and his title had changed. After all, this is a really rich man, and as an executive at Goldman Sachs, his assets cannot be compared with Fang Zhen. This is the case in the United States, if there is more money to a certain extent, it will inevitably win respect. Although Fang Yu is still a Chinese, it does not affect others to respect the dollars in his account.
Liszt replied satisfied, and Wu Mingzhu, who had just gotten up, came out without combing his hair and asked: "There is nothing good on Wall Street." ”
"Of course, it's a bunch of guys who eat people and don't spit out bones. "Fang Yu's cognition is very clear, but it does not affect the use of Goldman Sachs to make the company go public and cut leeks. Summit Pictures has continuously made profitable movies at the box office, but in fact, the value of the company is not so exaggerated, regardless of the scripts copied by Fang Zhen, Summit Pictures' own profitability is very average.
Marilyn was giving a lecture in the office of the company's president, and the director and staff in front of her were reprimanded like her grandson: "You people, without the boss's script, are all Hollywood losers." So you have to know in your heart, don't think that you are a big director or a big producer now, and if you change someone to do these things, you will also achieve good results. ”
Small-budget movies are just spelling the script, of course, the ability of the director and staff is also very important, but Marilyn, a woman, is more shameless, in order to praise Fang Zhen, completely erase the merits of others. But for a director like White, he really doesn't care about these words in private, without Summit Pictures, he is still making action movies in the San Fernando Valley.
Now when he goes out, he is a well-known director, and he has made two movies made on a small budget, both of which have made a lot of profits.
The expressions of several actresses are much more exciting, and no one knows the cruelty of Hollywood better than these women who are chasing fame and fortune.
They all understood what Marilyn meant, and even if there was no advance instruction, they would have tried to get it right. Hollywood really has no shortage of beautiful women and acting skills, what is lacking is opportunities.
The girl Jessica is a newly discovered actress who became famous after the "Rice Country Pie". Now he's a little star too.
"President, I heard that Boss is very handsome?" Jessica deliberately sold cuteness, and Marilyn reprimanded very unceremoniously: "Don't think about so many and some don't, there are many beautiful women around Boss, all kinds of skin tones." And they are all highly educated and very capable. Your value is to play your own role well. The tone fell heavily on the "role".
Jessica nodded knowingly: "Understood, I know what to do." She really doesn't have too many ideas, she just wants to continue acting and make money famous. It's best to be the heroine, and work hard for the next step into big productions.
The actor is not affiliated with the company in the United States, most of them are connected through agents, and they are in partnership with the company.
For a party, Wu Mingzhu spent all afternoon doing beauty, and the evening dress was also specially customized. I don't know how much it is, anyway, Wu Mingzhu will only wear it once. This kind of faction is really incomprehensible, but this is the tone of the United States. People still eat this set, just like the production of luxury goods, which is to wear it once and it will go bad.
"A set of evening dresses of 10,000 US dollars, are you distressed?" Wu Mingzhu also asked deliberately, Fang Zhen shook his head: "As long as any item is necessary, the money spent is worth it." ”
Wu Mingzhu was very smart not to challenge Fang Zhen's sensitive nerves, and chose a set of backless evening dresses, which were tightly covered in front. In contrast, Fang Yu's dress is also a handmade suit prepared by Wu Mingzhu. Fang Zhen didn't ask how much it was, and he didn't care if he lost his credit card to Wu Mingzhu.
Since you have chosen to do both, then don't worry about money, Fang Yu's cognition is very clear.
The party was held in a hotel and the host was Marilyn. Wearing an off-the-shoulder evening dress of more than half a year, the red one stood at the door and waited, which was particularly eye-catching. Marilyn is flanked by the number one director White and the number one producer John.
Seeing Fang Yu's car coming, White was very clever and rushed forward to open the door. When Fang Yu got out of the car, John felt a pang of chagrin in his heart, and was preempted by this dog. Alas, the CEO's seat didn't sit up, and Marilyn, the X, must have climbed into Boos's bed.
Marilyn and Wu Mingzhu exchanged glances, which can really be described as calcium carbide firelight. One thing is clear, Marilyn knows that it is useless to please Wu Mingzhu, if she has a good relationship with Wu Mingzhu, it is really not a good thing based on her workplace experience.
Fang Yu glanced at Marilyn's evening dress, but unfortunately he could only look at it. On the way inside, Jessica came to meet her, how to say what she was wearing, in Fang Yu's opinion, she was a little too old, and her makeup was also going in the direction of sexual 1. If memory serves, she wasn't even eighteen years old. You said that you cleaned yourself up like a thirty-year-old woman, isn't this a hole in your brain?
Therefore, when Marilyn introduced, Fang Yu glanced at it in a hurry, and did not feel that there was a certain female star in her memory. Well, the foreign women who are really impressed by Fang Yu are probably the two European goddesses Sophie Marceau and Bellucci. The female stars here in the United States, Fang Yu's memory is full of old stars, such as Monroe and Bergman.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is not only a party to welcome the boss to come to rice to inspect the work, but also a celebration banquet for the movie "Rice Country Pie". This youth-themed film won 100 million at the box office, which is another major success of Summit Pictures. ”
After Marilyn briefly introduced the situation, she moved the C position out of the way and said loudly: "Next, I would like to invite our most generous Boshi to speak." ”
