Chapter 715: Comrades still need to work hard

Donn pioneered the "equal pay for equal work" policy in Hollywood, which had a huge social impact.

Actually, this is easier to solve.

Giving female employees or actresses that salary increase will not affect the overall situation.

This is far less than a strike that costs companies.

However, there is another layer of meaning behind equal pay for equal work.

It's discrimination against women.

Generally speaking, there are many more male executives than female executives in a company!

Even for a company like Victoria's Secret, which focuses on women's underwear, the most powerful management and the most powerful designers...... All are male.

With Donn's no longer digging deeper, and leaving CBS, Les Moonweis's sexual assault incident seems to have passed like a gust of wind.

However, another thing that feminists are actively promoting is to call on major companies to increase the number of female executives in proportion to the number of places!

This is the same as many universities that require black professors and students to be recruited with indicators.

This is the "democratic power" that black people have worked tirelessly for decades.

As a result, those who are better and better with yellow skin are limited in quotas.

Whether it is Japanese, Korean, Indian, or Chinese, they all seem to be adopting a way of survival that is "unworldly".

In fact, whether it is the United States or Canada, when parents choose a school for their children, they usually do not need to investigate the school's teacher background, admission rate, etc., they only need to go to the school more and take a few more looks.

If there are more black students in the school, the school will not be very good, it will be dirty and messy, and if there are more Asian students, it will be a good school, and the academic style will be very positive.

Is this racism?

In the eyes of blacks, yes.

But the truth is that blacks are lazier and more foolish, and yellows are more diligent and hardworking.

The same is true when it comes to women's rights.

There are more men than women in the management of major companies, which is discrimination against women?

Men's physiological mechanisms determine that they will be more rational, more suitable for making major decisions, and more suitable for bearing great mental pressure.

Of course, feminists can do whatever they like, and it has nothing to do with New Globe anyway.

In 2004, the first thing New Globe did was to hire a new executive, Carol Melton.

This is a woman.

With Mel Camasin leaving Viacom, many of his old team members are leaving, and Carol Melton is one of them.

Barry Diller poached her and put her as vice president of New Globe, where he was responsible for global public policy and created the Office of Government Relations. I just want to use her affinity as a woman to build good relationships with governments.

Tang En has already said that this year, New Universal will focus on promoting the development of tourism and vacation business.

The income gap between Universal Studios and Disneyland is too great.

In this process, the coordination of the relationship with the government is particularly important.

However, Carol Melton joining New Universal made Time Warner very unhappy.

Because Time Warner is also trying to invite her to join as a group vice president.

You know, Carol Melton worked at Time Warner back then!

There is incense!

Ted Turner was already very unhappy with Donn's actions, and this time ...... was cut off halfway by Don and snatched away the person who Time Warner was optimistic about.

How can you bear it?

Earlier, Ted Turner was still pressuring Donn, wanting him to share a part of the benefits and make money together, and as soon as he turned around, Donn slapped him hard.

It's too much!

……

Listed companies must disclose their accounting information to the whole society in a timely manner.

In Donn's hand, he held a copy of Disney's year-end statement.

Film and Television Entertainment: revenue of US$2.47 billion, net profit of US$210 million;

Television & Media: revenue of US$13.73 billion, net profit of US$1.47 billion;

Tourism & Resort: revenue of US$6.41 billion, net profit of US$950 million;

Consumer Goods: Revenue of $1.97 billion, net profit of $340 million.

In 2003, the total revenue was 24.58 billion US dollars, and the net profit was 2.97 billion US dollars!

You must know that in the past year, the total revenue of New Globe Group was 24.18 billion US dollars, and the net profit was only 3.64 billion US dollars.

As soon as this report came out, Tang En was really shocked for a long time.

He thought that New Universal had already surpassed Disney, Michael Eisner...... It's his own little brother.

However, Disney's total revenue last year was $400 million higher than that of New Universal!

Net profit...... That's only $670 million less.

This is because Disney has a lot of debt, $23 billion in debt, and Disney needs to repay $700 million to $800 million more in interest every year than New Universal.

In this way, the earning power of the two companies is ...... It seems to be about the same!

This makes Don very unbalanced.

New Universal and Disney now have a very good cooperative relationship and are strategic partners.

However, Don, who is familiar with history, knows that there can only be one position for the eldest brother!

The strength and weakness are obvious, and the strong have the dominant power in order to maintain the balance of the alliance, such as the Sun-Liu Alliance during the Three Kingdoms period. The strength is equal, and they all want to fight for the boss, and it is a matter of time before they start a knife soldier.

"No, we must be ahead of Disney in an all-round way!

Don clenched his fists and secretly made up his mind.

The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard!

Needless to say, the film and television entertainment department can crush Disney at New Universal.

...... of Television & Media Department There is no need to compare, ABC, ESPN and Disney Channel owned by Disney are all trump cards in the TV industry, and it is difficult to surpass them in the short term.

The most important thing is tourism and consumer goods, two businesses!

Disney has divided the two businesses into two divisions, while New Universal has integrated them into the Travel, Resorts and Consumer Goods division.

Disney's travel and vacation business has an annual revenue of $6.41 billion, and New Universal's travel and vacation business has an annual revenue of $1.65 billion.

Disney's consumer business has annual revenues of $1.97 billion, and New Universal's consumer products business has annual revenues of $1.27 billion.

It's easy to understand that Disneyland is the giant of theme parks.

Universal Studios' new "Harry Potter Park" in Orlando and the new "Spider-Man Park" in Osaka have not yet been completed, so they can only rely on their old foundations to compete with Disney, and they will naturally be crushed.

The consumer goods business is weird......

The consumer goods business mainly refers to the realization of derivatives of related intellectual property rights such as television and movies, such as related greeting cards, pendants, toys, clothing, etc.

Don thought that in this business, New Universal would steadily crush Disney!

After all, New Universal now has Marvel and Pixar in its hands!

Just one Pixar cartoon "Finding Nemo", the income of peripheral derivatives is 730 million US dollars!

New Global's consumer goods business has an annual revenue of only $1.27 billion, is that small?

"Boss, the sales of 730 million US dollars are third-party sales data, and we don't have a direct sales channel. The funds changed hands and costs were removed, and when it came to us, we were left with only $420 million. ”

Andrew Mooney, the head of the consumer goods business, is explaining to Donne.

Don blinked, "If that's the case, our profit margins should be high." ”

Andrew Mooney said: "No, in fact, the style of the products is designed by our own design department, and then licensed to third parties to produce and sell. And the cost of product promotion and publicity also have to be paid by us. The tax revenue of the consumer goods business is also much heavier than that of the film and television business. In fact, our consumer products business has revenues of $1.27 billion and net income of $290 million, which is already very high. ”

"Very high?"

Don's expression was a little strange.

Andrew Mooney said: "Disney has the Disney Store, and these are all heavy assets. In the past decade or so, Disney has spent at least $2 billion to promote Disney stores around the world, and it has become the leader of the consumer goods business today. Compared to Disney, our investment-output ratio is much more cost-effective. ”

Don pursed his lips, very disbelieving, "Listen to your tone, our consumer goods business ...... Better than Disney?"

Andrew Mooney quickly explained: "In terms of channel breadth and vertical management, of course, we can't compare with Disney. Fortunately, our film and television business is much better than Disney's! Disney's consumer goods business is supported by decades of accumulated cartoons, supported by Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Winnie the Pooh and the princesses. In this respect, we have an even greater advantage. ”

He used to be the head of Disney's consumer goods business, and he knows Disney's situation well.

Don nodded and asked, "If Marvel and Pixar are Disney's assets, then the development and sales of derivatives will not be just $1.27 billion, right?"

Andrew Mooney sighed, "There's no way around it. In terms of revenue capacity, New Universal and Disney are almost the same, but in terms of brand value, there is still a huge gap. Disney's brand is worth more than $50 billion, while New Universal's ...... Only $20 billion. ”

"When Finding Nemo was released, kids went to Disney stores to buy derivative toys. If this is normal, then it is obvious that users have also gone to the Disney Store when they buy products related to "Bone Treasure Adventure". ”

"In terms of the sales of film and television derivatives, even if our partners are Carrefour and Wal-Mart, they can't be compared with the Disney Store. Disney's influence on children over the decades is far from being matched by New Universal. ”

Don's eyes narrowed slightly, "Then do you think it's necessary for us to open a chain of new Universal stores?"

"Huh?" Andrew Mooney was stunned for a moment, and blurted out without thinking, "No need!"

"Don't need it?"

"No, you don't!"

Andrew Mooney's answer was very firm.
