Chapter 711: It will be even more serious later
"Please Kessler come over" Guo Yongren said, Kessler was the first, one by one, there was enough time.
Soon, Emilia came in with Kessler, shook hands and sat down, "Kessler, in your heart, how should the entertainment group be constituted" Guo Yongren asked.
"What can make the people happy should belong to the entertainment industry," Kessler said directly, and Guo Yongren was not very satisfied with this answer
"Of course, the most important entertainment industry right now is music companies, film companies, and comic book companies, and these three types of companies are the mainstay," Kessler added, and Guo Yongren nodded.
"But now, except for the music company that is slightly better, the efficiency of the film company and the comic company is not very good, how to solve this change" Guo Yongren continued to ask, this problem is very realistic, in this era, the life of the film company and the comic company is really not good.
"Sir, this problem is a general industry problem, not a solitary solution, I think as long as we survive this period of time, we will usher in the spring of the market" Kessler said seriously, this view can be described as a general view, but Guo Yongren is very dissatisfied with this answer.
Then Kessler asked several questions in a row, and Kessler's answers were very ordinary and did not show his own effect, Guo Yongren shook his hand and invited the next one to come in.
This one, as soon as he came in, attracted the attention of Guo Yongren and the others, the most obvious thing was the big bald head, shining and shiny, the three of them felt that their eyes were bright, and the two sides shook hands and sat down.
"Guys, I'm Harry, the former vice president of Warner Studios," Harry introduced himself.
Guo Yongren heard Holly introduce Harry, which is a prick, "Mr. Harry, can I know why you resigned from Warner" Guo Yongren asked.
"Of course, I quit because there was a big conflict between our business philosophy, I tried to communicate with the company several times, but in the end I had no choice but to leave because my views were not recognized by them, but I don't think I was wrong about the market," Harry said with great certainty.
"Let's talk about it in detail," Guo Yongren said directly
"Quite simply, the company believes that the global market is weak at the moment, and it should reduce its investment, keep it stable, and wait for the market to improve before investing, which is the opposite of theirs," Harry said seriously.
"Yes, the global market is a bit bad now, but this is not caused by the market itself, but by the lack of good works, basically all the companies have shrunk, so we should take this opportunity to toss, no competitors, what a good opportunity, it's a pity" Harry said seriously, his concept is not shared by many people.
"Okay, here comes my question, this time is a good toss, how much does the company need to invest, don't tell me you don't know how much money a company needs to operate normally every month" Guo Yongren asked, Harry looked at Guo Yongren.
"Sir, I know very well how much money a company needs every month to operate normally, but have you calculated how much you can save by laying off the little people, very little, on the contrary, we take this time to invest money, build our channels, shoot our films, and in the future the market will pick up, we will take the lead, isn't it cost-effective" Harry asked rhetorically.
"You have one less question, taking Warner as an example, how much money needs to be invested to get through this difficult time," Guo Yongren continued to ask, and Harry deliberately avoided this topic just now.
"Sir, if you take Warner as an example, you need at least $500 million in funds, because Warner's stalls are so big that they need almost $3 million per month, employee salaries and office expenses," Harry said directly, obviously knowing Warner very well.
"Can 500 million funds support the market recovery, how long do you expect the market to recover" Guo Yongren continued to ask, without stopping at all.
"Three to four years, of course, if there's a blockbuster film to attract an audience, that time will be shortened," Harry affirmed.
"Well, based on four years, how long will it take to recover the investment of 500 million US dollars," Guo Yongren continued to ask.
"About three years," Harry said earnestly, based on Warner's earnings.
"In this way, I invested 500 million US dollars, and it will take at least seven years to return to the capital, and if I am profitable, if you have 500 million US dollars, will you make this investment" Guo Yongren looked at Harry and said, Harry's expression darkened.
"I'd love to say I would, but, in fact, I'm not going to invest that money because it's not cost-effective," Harry said with a smile on his face.
"So, do you think it's wrong for Warner not to adopt your plan?" Guo Yongren said, looking at Harry.
Harry opened his mouth, but did not speak, feeling that something was wrong there, as if he had fallen into a misunderstanding, closed his eyes and calmed down, and after a while, he opened his eyes.
"Sir, if you are doing this company as a business, it is worth investing 500 million dollars, and if you only think about it from an investment point of view, then this investment is not worth it," Harry said seriously.
Guo Yongren smiled, looked at Harry, and understood in his heart that Harry had come out of this misunderstanding, "Harry, then you tell me, with an investment of 500 million US dollars, what can I get in the past seven years" Guo Yongren asked.
Harry thought for a while, "Sir, first of all, you will get fame, go against the current, once a certain film is recognized by the market, then we will first get a reputation, second, the market, because at this stage all the film companies are shrinking, our films can occupy a lot of channels, so the benefits produced are not a lot" Harry said seriously.
Guo Yongren nodded, this is a qualified film company helmsman, but he is not a qualified group senior helmsman, although his vision is good, he does not see where the road ahead is, and he is a little blind and fighting.
Guo Yongren looked at Leo and Dr. Crest, both of them shook their heads, indicating that they had no problem, "Okay, Mr. Harry, I still need to talk to the other one, can you please let the next one in" Guo Yongren said with a smile, Harry nodded, shook hands with Guo Yongren and left.
Next, Guo Yongren also met with another person, but as a result, Guo Yongren was still not satisfied, forget it, let go of the entertainment group's affairs first, Guo Yongren has a decision in his heart.
Let Emilia invite Holly over, "Holly, these three can't do it, the case of the entertainment group is put on hold for the time being" Guo Yongren said directly, Holly nodded.
"Okay, I'll arrange for them to leave first, and call me when you need it, and now it's still too late, I'll go back to New York directly" Holly said directly, Guo Yongren opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, because there were too many people around.
"Okay, I wish you a smooth journey" Guo Yongren said directly, shaking hands with Holly, Holly smiled, knowing what Guo Yongren meant, leaving today was also arranged by Holly.
Emilia sent Holly away on behalf of Guo Yongren, and Guo Yongren and the three of them were left in the office, "Leo, I will return to Hong Kong in the near future, if there is something, my confidant will call Hong Kong" Guo Yongren said directly, Leo nodded.
"If you need a fee, contact Herman, or call me directly," Guo Yongren said directly, and Leo said that he understood.
"Dr. Crest, after the two of them join the company, you have to observe them for two months, and then give me a report, of course, if it is not appropriate, you can notify me directly" Guo Yongren said directly, Dr. Crest nodded.
"Don't worry, boss, the company has nothing to do for the time being, and a month after they joined the company, I will start the listing, and at this time, I can do a little more testing" Dr. Crest said, Guo Yongren nodded.
Looking at the time, the three of them left the office, Leo and Guo Yongren returned to the hotel together, and returned to New York tomorrow, Leo has a lot of things, and Leo is also responsible for the handover project with Boeing, and it is time to act.
Guo Yongren returned to the hotel room, "Grace, inform Vincent from the security base, let him bring a team of people over tomorrow to hand over to Wright, in addition, order a charter flight the day after tomorrow and fly directly to Hong Kong, by the way, Leo is leaving tomorrow, arrange a vehicle to send him to the airport" Guo Yongren said directly.
Grace nodded, went to the side to get busy, Guo Yongren sat down and began to drink tea, his head thought of Paulson, smiled, the net has been laid down, plus this time he has a quarrel with the arms dealer, Reagan must be more urgent to need the dollar to depreciate.
Only the depreciation of the dollar can boost exports, alleviate the storm of layoffs in the manufacturing industry, and stabilize his presidency.
As Grace's call reached the security base, Simon began to have a headache, surrounded by the captains below, and wanted to go, Vincent smiled wryly on the side, did not intervene, and let Simon decide for himself.
Now these people can be said to be qualified, especially in terms of discipline, Simon has carried out meticulous rectification, and various rules are examined at any time, which makes the people below miserable, and Vincent has a profound experience in this paragraph.
Now that there is an opportunity to make money, who will be willing to give up, no one will give up, and they have asked themselves to lead the team around Saimen, "Don't quarrel, the old rules, draw the order first, and then draw points, the biggest go" Simon shouted directly, and everyone quieted down.
