Chapter 268 Reasons for Losses

The next morning, Xu Qing came to the café agreed with Shalman.

Entering the café, Xu Qing saw a young white man sitting on a chair reading a magazine, this young white man was Shalman, Xu Qing had seen his photo before coming, and he would not admit it.

What was a little unexpected to Xu Qing was that the time agreed between the two was 10 o'clock in the morning, and it was now 9:50, and Xu Qing came to the café 10 minutes early.

I didn't expect Sharman to come earlier, and it seems that he came quite early.

Xu Qing walked over, Sharman heard footsteps, looked up and saw that it was Xu Qing, and hurriedly stood up to greet him.

"You're Mr. Xu Qingxu, I'm Sharman, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

Sharman used an affirmative tone, it seems that he also knew Xu Qing in advance, Xu Qing smiled and shook my hand and said, "I'm also very happy to meet you, I took the initiative to bring up today's meeting, and I bothered you." ”

Xu Qing's tone was polite, Sharman had been very polite since yesterday's phone call, and Xu Qing naturally had to be polite.

Sharman hurriedly waved his hand and said: "When I heard my dad say that you want to see me, I was almost crazy with joy, you are my idol, I adore you." ”

Xu Qing looked at Shalman's face with the expression of a fan when he saw his idol, and he really guessed correctly, Sharman was his fan.

Xu Qing smiled and said, "It's my honor that I turned out to be your idol, but I'm curious about where I became a place of worship for you." ”

Sharman immediately replied: "I admire you very much for your achievements in business, and it is a miracle that in just a few years, you have gone from a few million dollars to a multi-billion dollar billionaire."

And you're so young, you're the idol of our young people. ”

Xu Qing originally thought that Sharman admired the Harry Potter he wrote, after all, most of Xu Qing's fans are fans of Harry Potter books, but there are also many who worship Xu Qing's business achievements.

Xu Qing thought that Sharman was the president of the Voice of California, which showed that he was also very interested in business, and it was not surprising that he admired Xu Qing's business achievements.

Xu Qing also casually praised Shalman, and when he boasted, he realized that he didn't know how to praise.

Kwashalman's business achievements? He would have thought Xu Qing was laughing at him.

Kwasalman was a strong man? Is this a compliment?

Xu Qing didn't understand other aspects of Shalman, so he couldn't boast about it, so in the end he could only praise Shalman for being so handsome, more handsome than Hollywood stars.

It's not that Xu Qing opened his eyes and said nonsense, Sharman is indeed very handsome.

Brown's old man is over 70 years old, and he is still an old handsome man, Shalman's mother Xu Qing has never seen him, but with Brown's appearance and net worth, he should be a big beauty.

The born Sharman is very handsome, no worse than a Hollywood star.

The two began to chat, mainly because Sharman was very interested in Xu Qing's history and kept asking about some related things.

It is impossible for Xu Qing to tell others the real reason for his history, could it be said that he is a traverser?

Xu Qing casually fooled Sherman, saying that he was a business genius, and Sharman was also convinced, he felt that Xu Qing could become so powerful in such a short time, and his ability must be very good.

After chatting for more than 20 minutes, Xu Qing asked about Salman's plans for the Voice of California.

Sharman didn't know that Brown used Voice of California's 25% stake as a condition to ask Sunlight Film and Television to create popular TV series and variety shows.

He thought that Xu Qing was interested in the Voice of California and wanted to understand, which is what Brown told him, and he carefully described the Voice of California's plans for the next few years to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing frowned after hearing this, Sharman's plan for the future of Voice of California is too ordinary, and if there is no accident, it will still fail, resulting in a big loss.

However, what makes Xu Qing strange is how Brown did not ask capable people to help Sharman manage the company during the years when Sharman was president, and let his company lose money.

Brown has a lot of money and doesn't care, it's definitely not for this reason, otherwise Brown wouldn't have invited Sunlight Film and Television.

Could it be that Salman is too arrogant to listen to other people's opinions? Xu Qing felt that it was better to ask directly, although this might hurt Salman's self-esteem and become annoyed and angry.

"Mr. Salman, I want to ask you a question, and I hope you don't get angry. Xu Qing gave Salman a preventive shot first.

Salman looked at Xu Qing and said with a smile: "If Mr. Xu has anything you want to ask, just ask, as long as you don't ask me how many girlfriends I have, I will answer." ”

Sharman is still quite humorous, chatting all day long, and will say some humorous words from time to time, at least in terms of chatting, Xu Qing is sure of Shalman's ability.

"I would like to ask why VOA has been losing money year after year after you became president, especially since last year's loss made VOA history. ”

After Xu Qing finished speaking, he felt that he would be too direct, what if Sharman was really annoyed and angry?

Forget it, Sharman can do whatever he wants, this question must be asked.

When Sharman heard Xu Qing's question, his originally smiling face became expressionless, and Xu Qing secretly said that Sharman was going to be angry.

Salman's face changed a few times, and finally a smile appeared again: "Mr. Xu, in fact, before we met, I thought that you would ask this question.

Indeed, my performance as president of Voice of California in the past few years has been so poor that if the owner of Voice of California was not my father, I would have been fired a long time ago.

I have summarized the reasons why my grades are so poor, and I think there are several points, one is that the main thing is that my ability is not good, no matter what kind of difficulties VOA has, if my ability is enough, at least it will not be in the current situation.

The second is the limitations of Voice of California, which is a regional television station, and you should know how different it is from a national television station.

Moreover, California is the most economically developed state in the United States, and there is also a Hollywood located here, so the media industry in California is also very developed, like the Los Angeles Times and the San Francisco Times are the top big newspapers in the country.

There are also many TV stations in California, according to the current statistics, California has 22 regional TV stations, so many TV stations, the competition is very fierce.

The third is that there are no excellent works, and excellent works are basically monopolized by national TV stations, and it is very difficult for Voice of California to get it.

Fourth, the funds are insufficient, not to mention that compared with the tens of billions of dollars of national TV stations, even in California, there are several TV stations that are richer than Voice of California, and the benefits of having money for TV stations Mr. Xu should be very clear, so I won't say more.

These four reasons are why I think VOA has been losing money year after year, and of course there are many other reasons, but they are not that critical. ”

Xu Qing nodded, did not comment on Sharman's words, and asked him another question: "If the development of Voice of California requires you to leave, will you leave?"
