Chapter 314: Growing Ambition
Chapter 314: Growing Ambition
……
"Buddy, just say what's there. You know I'm not the kind of person who doesn't listen to dissenting opinions!"
"Boss, the operation of the matrix has always been decentralized, and movies, games, and comics are divided into several subsidiaries without interfering with each other. Do you see if you can set up a senior management who can lead the entire matrix holding company like Anping Company, Phoenix Company and Ruby Company? In this way, you can also allocate the resources of each subsidiary more reasonably and accelerate the pace of development of the entire group. ”
Guo Shouyun glanced at Buddy Morris, who was sitting opposite him, in surprise. The ambition of this simple-looking black man at this time overturned the impression he had formed for the other party for three years.
"Is this your own idea?"
"Yes!"
Looking at the big boss with gray temples but more mature and stable, Buddy Morris, who was originally full of confidence, suddenly felt a little more flustered under the gaze full of majesty.
Guo Shouyun felt a little emotional in his heart at this time. Although he has long known that people's hearts change over time. But in the face of Buddy Morris, who expresses his desires and ambitions, he still has some complicated feelings.
However, under the premise that you can control it, it is also a good thing that your employees are ambitious. After all, an ambitious leader is better able to lead a company forward than a corpse meal.
"Since this is your idea, have you thought about how to form the administrative structure of the head office?"
"Yes!"
Buddy Morris took a breath, stabilized his mind, and nodded affirmatively.
has followed Guo Shouyun for nearly three years, and he also understands the temper of this big boss. Knowing that he is not against the ambition of his subordinates, what he is against is ambition and excessive arrogance at the same time, lacking the ability to match. So, while making the proposal, he had already thought about the management structure of the matrix.
"My idea is that the matrix should adopt the board management system like Anping, Phoenix and other brother companies, and the boss serves as the chairman of the board of directors, leading the overall situation and being responsible for the daily administrative management of the group. Each director has his or her own role and is responsible for the development of each head office, as well as the various departments of the headquarters. ”
"Under the Board of Directors, there are directly subordinate departments such as the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Personnel, the Department of Administration and the Department of Logistics. The company's business adopts a more detailed division, such as: splitting Marvel Entertainment, merging the film and television production part into Matrix Pictures, restoring Marvel to the comic book industry they are best at, and movies adapted from Marvel Comics, they can get royalties and appropriate shares. In addition, the cinema business and TV business of Matrix Pictures were separated. The cinema business is operated as a separate subsidiary. The TV business merged with TV stations into a separate subsidiary focusing on the production and broadcast of programs such as television, variety shows, and documentaries. ”
"If everything is as said above, then in addition to the headquarters of the Matrix Group, there are also Marvel focusing on comics, Matrix Pictures focusing on movies, Pixar focusing on animated feature films, Matrix Cinemas focusing on theaters, Matrix Games focusing on games, and TV companies focusing on TV, variety shows and documentaries. The six subsidiaries have a clear business scope and clear rights and responsibilities, which meet the needs of the long-term development of the head office. ”
As the words fell, Buddy Criss looked at the man sitting across from him with blazing eyes, his eyes full of confidence and eagerness.
Guo Shouyun knew what he was expecting, and after thinking for a moment, he met the other party's fiery eyes and smiled lightly.
"Buddy, your suggestion is really good, I think it's been a lot of time, right?"
When it comes to this, there is no point in concealing and withdrawing.
"Yes. I've been thinking about this over the past year as the group's business has grown and its revenue has increased. ”
Guo Shouyun nodded.
"Thinking about the future is something you should do as a senior executive, and I appreciate it. After a moment of silence, "Give me the plan you prepared, and I'll go back and see it and give you the answer!"
"Yes!"
Seeing that he didn't refuse immediately, Buddy Morris was overjoyed and hurriedly handed over the prepared plan.
After taking a brief look, Guo Shouyun put it in the briefcase next to him.
"Anything else?"
"No more!"
"Then I'll go first. … Oh, by the way, tomorrow at the Sony Pictures celebration, you come with me. ”
"Yes!"
After leaving the matrix's headquarters and returning to his home in Los Angeles, Guo Shouyun couldn't help frowning when he saw the large stack of documents in his briefcase.
"Looks like I should get another secretary!"
As Wendy puts more time and energy into taking care of the two children, Guo Shouyun no longer has anyone around him to help him sort out his documents, arrange his itinerary and other trivial things. However, as his personal secretary and direct contact with all his secrets, ordinary Guo Shouyun must not be at ease. At the moment, he does not have a suitable candidate either.
"I can only put it for now. ”
……
In autumn and winter, the skies in the Northern Hemisphere get dark early. By the time Guo Shouyun looked up from the thick report of the matrix, the neon lights outside the window had already enveloped the whole of Los Angeles.
The Fragrant Hills Villa, where he was at this time, was located in Beverly Hills, one of Los Angeles' top affluent neighborhoods, where he could overlook the glorious night view of the metropolis.
"Matthew, what time is it?"
After standing in front of the window and watching for a while, Guo Shouyun suddenly asked.
"In a quarter of an hour it's seven o'clock!"
Guo Shouyun nodded, "I haven't enjoyed the night in Los Angeles for more than a year, let's go, let's go out for a walk!"
"Boss, wouldn't it be safe to go out at night!"
All Californians know that Los Angeles is the city of angels by day and a depression of sin by night. Especially in those neighborhoods where there are mostly blacks, there are almost no people except for the homeless at night. Especially now, the US economy is bad, unemployment remains high, and the protracted war in Afghanistan has exacerbated domestic tensions. So, it's best not to go out at night.
"Aren't you there? Besides, I'm not so stupid to go into those unsafe alleys!"
Looking at the big boss who had made up his mind, Matthew had no choice but to hurry up and arrange security work. In the end, including him, six people followed Guo Shouyun out of the Xiangshan Courtyard.
"Boss, where are we going?"
Matthew, who was driving, asked.
"Where are you going?"
Guo Shouyun didn't know where to go, and it was just a sudden idea for him to go out after work. However, since it is out now, it is definitely not possible to go back now.
After looking out the window for a moment, I couldn't help but think of that night three years ago and that breathtakingly beautiful shadow in my mind.
"Go to Santa Monica beach. ”
……
As the most popular beach in Los Angeles, Santa Monica Beach at the end of Route 66 is never short of tourists. Even though it's October, the night here is still lively. Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that Los Angeles has a Mediterranean climate and is not too cold in autumn and winter.
Of course, even if it's not cold, no one chooses to go to the sea at this time, except for some swimmers. But that doesn't stop people from loving Santa Monica Beach. Because, even at night, the amusement parks, beaches, and shops here are enough places for people to play and rest.
