Chapter 730: Performance Pressure
Everyone knows that the helmsman of Lay's Group, that is to say, the one who will return to China next week for N years, is definitely a person who likes to subvert and enjoy challenges.
Copyright Distribution, Video First Shares, Boxes, Super TVs...... Lay's Group has almost become a "trendsetter" in the online video industry in recent years, and has continuously become "the first person to eat crabs".
He is said to have liked a quote engraved in the dressing room of a certain team: "When everything seemed irretrievable, I ran to see the stonemason repeatedly pound the rock in front of him a hundred times, and not even a crack in the stone appeared." On the one hundred and first strike, the stone split in two. Not because of this one thrash, but because of yours consistently. ”
Truth be told, this kind of persistence and perseverance can be called a double-edged sword at some point.
If used in the right place, it is enough to make people open mountains and split rocks, and move forward, and if used in the wrong place, it can naturally make people sink deep in mud and unable to turn over.
Of course, judging from the development trajectory of Lay's Group in recent years that Li Mo understands, it is very likely that the one who returns to China next week will still go to the road of no return in the original time and space......
Of course, even if the Lay's Group really collapsed like the original time and space, it had nothing to do with Li Mo.
As early as last year, there was a trend of investing in Lay's Pictures in the entertainment industry, when Deng Chao, Sun Li and others had intentions, but without exception they chose to give up because of Li Mo's opinion.
What Li Mo said at that time was also very simple: a company wants to make a profit, it is actually very simple to say, income is greater than expenditure is profit, but now the stall of Lay's Group is so big, I don't see how much income I have, and I am very generous when I spend it.
Of course, even if Deng Chao and Sun Li don't go to this troubled water, there are so many stars in the entertainment industry, and there are definitely not a few people who have spare money in their hands and want to invest......
Shaking the cup in his hand, Li Mo said slowly: "Mr. Zhang, the first two clauses you said are still routine operations, normal circumstances, but the last one, I can't understand it a little......"
"If you think that the reason for the failure of "Nine-Story Demon Tower" is that Lu Chuan has no experience in directing commercial film works and has limited control over the market, but I don't seem to have any experience in directing this type of film, right?
"To be honest, it's definitely a lie to say that you're not worried at all," Zhang Zhao was honest, and directly admitted his worries, "But after thinking about it, when it comes to investing in movies and controlling and predicting the market, no one in the entire circle is better at it than you......"
"The theme of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", everyone knows that it must be a big treasure, but if you really put it in an ugly way, after we finished filming "Nine-Story Demon Tower" this time, not only did we not find the key to open this treasure, but we used explosives to blow up the door of the treasure, which made me just stare at it, I was really a little unwilling......"
"Then you don't need to take out the copyright and share it, isn't this in a hurry to send money to Guanglu Media?"
"This ...... In fact, from the very beginning, there was not much contradiction between our Lay's and Guanglu Media, if it weren't for the company's decision-making, the two of us would not have been like this......"
………………
Half an hour later, Zhang Zhao took the lead in getting up and leaving.
Involving three companies, the total value of hundreds of millions of dollars of investment may even reach billions of interest entanglements, even if several people here today are the company's top decision-makers, but this kind of thing is far beyond the scope of what they can say.
Although several people talked about cooperation, the gap between Zhang Zhao and Wang Changtian would not be smoothed out because of the cooperation level of one and a half times, and before today, Zhang Zhao and Li Mo could be said to have no intersection.
Three people talking, and the relationship with two of them is very ordinary, and this kind of occasion is destined to be embarrassing.
With Zhang Zhao's scheming and the city government, when should he not leave, and when should he be decisive and flash, he can still carry this kind of thing.
After Zhang Zhao left, there were naturally only two people left in the booth, Li Mo and Wang Changtian.
As a person who has worked with Zhang Zhao for many years, Wang Changtian is obviously thinking about Zhang Zhao's motive for such an abrupt move today.
However, unless Wang Changtian has the ability to predict the future, he probably doesn't understand why Zhang Zhao is in such a hurry.
…… As a traverser, Li Mo has actually figured it out.
The key is still in Lay's Group.
At the end of 2016, that is, almost one year later, the financial crisis of Lay's Group was completely detonated by someone's own operation.
While causing an uproar in the industry, LeEco Group quickly plummeted.
At that time, everyone suddenly discovered that the originally glamorous Lay's Group was already full of holes under the prosperity.
As a member of the Lay's Group, Lay's Pictures controlled by Zhang Zhao is naturally not immune.
It is undeniable that the foundation and foundation of Lay's Pictures were indeed built by Zhang Zhao, but it is even more undeniable that after becoming a subsidiary of Lay's Group, after so many years, although Zhang Zhao's management rights in the entire company have declined and weakened, his shareholding ratio in the entire company has been declining......
Take last year's wave of star shareholders as an example.
After experiencing that wave of share dilution, Zhang Zhao's share in the entire company is even inferior to that of a star shareholder......
If only the shares were diluted, then that's fine.
After all, Zhang Zhao is just a person who gets an annual salary and dividends, and if you want to make money quickly, it must be not as good as those gang of acting contemporaries, but the most terrible thing is that Lay's Pictures is even secretly responsible for the work of blood transfusion for Lay's Group.
Yes, instead of increasing its financial support for Lay's Pictures, Lay's Group is using various ways to extract Lay's cash flow and use it to support the rest of the group.
Thinking of the crisis that Lay's Group will detonate in less than a year, Li Mo can be 100% sure that Zhang Zhao should have discovered the problem of doing so, so he will use various ways to turn the funds in his hands into projects, even if it is ...... is suffering a little loss because of this, and Zhang Zhao plans to admit it as such.
To be honest, don't look at Lay's Pictures seems to have so many hundreds of millions of funds in its hands, but if that money is used to invest in film projects, maybe there will be a comeback to make money, if it is invested in the bottomless pit of Lay's Group, let alone making money, it is estimated that there will not even be a splash......
