Chapter 269: Give up the position of president
This question was more acute than the one just now, and it was also asked by Xu Qing after he tested Sharman.
So far, Xu Qing feels that Sharman's character is okay, and coupled with the worship of himself, the possibility of being annoyed and angry is relatively small.
The reason why Xu Qing asked this question was that he thought that Sharman was not suitable for managing a television station.
If Sharman had a talent for managing television, then he would have understood it all these years, and he would not still make Voice of California lose money, and the loss is getting higher and higher year by year, showing an upward trend.
Shalman's expression changed slightly when he heard this question, and then quickly returned to his original appearance, and his mood changed much more smoothly than just now.
Maybe he was already prepared when he heard Xu Qing's first question.
Sharman smiled: "First of all, I can give a positive answer, if I leave VOA to make it better, I will definitely leave."
Last Christmas, I talked to my dad about giving up my position as president of VOA, and I threw in the towel.
I told my dad five years ago that I wanted VOA to be the most-watched regional television station in California within five years.
But the reality is cruel, as you can see, I failed, my dad told me to try another year, and if it didn't work, he agreed with me to give up the position of president.
Now Mr. Xu and I are sitting and chatting, I think it should be my dad's reason, he should have told you something, otherwise we don't know each other, how could we suddenly meet. ”
Xu Qing didn't expect that the reason why Sharman was still the president of Voice of California despite years of losses was a promise between father and son.
What else can Xu Qing say, he can only say that Brown's father loves him like a mountain, and he gives 5,60 million US dollars to his son to play.
If Xu Qing had a son in the future, he would definitely not give so much money for him to toss, but only for his daughter, no way, Xu Qing is a daughter slave.
Well, it seems like it's a long way off.
Considering various circumstances, Brown asked Sunlight Film and Television to create a show for Voice of California, or to help Sharman turn around his losses.
Xu Qing can understand this approach, and if Sharman relinquishes the president of VOA on this, it will have a significant impact on him.
And whether this impact is good or bad, it's hard to say, and if it is, then Sharman will use it as a motivation to try to make a difference in other areas of business.
If it's bad, then Sharman may have greatly diminished interest in business.
So for the sake of Brown's future insurance, he directly invited Sunlight Film and Television.
Xu Qing was a little entangled, in terms of ability, Sharman was not enough to serve as the president of Voice of California.
But judging from the current situation, it is clear that Brown wants Sharman to continue as president, and if Xu Qing opposes, it is likely that the opposition will be invalid, and Brown will find other film and television companies to cooperate.
"Are you interested in the TV industry?" Xu Qing asked again.
"Actually, I'm more interested in the game industry, but my dad thinks that the game industry in the United States has declined, and he goes to Japan to make games, but my dad doesn't agree.
I also made a few games in the beginning, and the results were so bad that I got discouraged and accepted my dad's suggestion that I let me run the TV station. ”
Xu Qing nodded, Brown's opinion on the American game industry is not surprising, since the collapse of Atari, there has been no game company in the United States that can handle it.
Nintendo and Sega account for the vast majority of the U.S. gaming market, and it's highly unlikely that U.S. gaming companies will emerge.
In such a situation, it makes sense that Brown would not let Sharman enter the gaming industry.
"Excluding external factors, do you want to continue to serve as the president of Voice of California?" Xu Qing looked at Sherman.
"I don't want to. Sharman replied dryly: "If it weren't for my dad wanting me to continue as president, I would have given up two years ago." ”
"Do you want to keep making games?"
"I definitely want to," Sharman replied immediately, but his expression immediately became frustrated: "I like to make games, but I may not have the talent to make games." ”
"If the Honor Group is willing to work with you to help you set up a game company, and will ask a top game producer like Tajiri to guide you, would you be willing?" Xu Qing said.
Sharman looked at Xu Qing in surprise, and said in disbelief: "What you said is true?"
"Really. ”
"Then I'm definitely willing, Tajiri is the game producer I like very much, and I like the Pokémon he made very much, if I can ...... it"
When it comes to games, Shalman's mouth can't stop, and he keeps talking for several minutes, expressing his love for games, for the Honor Group, and for Tajiri Tomo.
Xu Qing patiently waited for Sharman to finish speaking, and said with a smile: "Your continued role as the president of Voice of California is a torment for you, and a harm to Voice of California, I'm sorry, I said this."
Mr. Brown asked Sunlight Film and Television to create popular TV series and variety shows with a 25% stake in Voice of California, and his intentions are very clear to you and me.
But I was afraid that it would fail, after all, I agreed to cooperate, and I became a shareholder of Voice of California, and I also had to think about its development. ”
Sharman is now not angry at Xu Qing's denial of his ability to manage the TV station, Xu Qing is telling the truth, although the truth is difficult to hear.
And Xu Qing also promised to support him in setting up a game company, which is much more interesting for Sharman than a TV station.
The two agreed, and the next step was for Sharman to convince Brown to let him quit the presidency and enter the gaming industry.
Xu Qing didn't know how Brown would react, and he was furious?
Originally, Brown asked Sunlight Film and Television to help Sharman do a good job as the Voice of California, but Xu Qing instead asked Sharman to give up the position of president, which was completely opposite to Brown's plan.
If it was Xu Qing, someone said this to his daughter, he would definitely let him get away.
Sharman promised Xu Qing that he would convince Brown and give Xu Qing an answer within 3 days, and Xu Qing chose to believe it.
Leaving the café, Xu Qing returned to the villa.
The pets ran out to greet them, and after living on the farm for a while, Xu Qing's relationship with the pets was much better than before.
In the past, when Xu Qing returned to the villa, there were only black beans, and black pearls would greet him.
Now 4 pets will greet him, and of course, the hairball guy's mouth is still shouting that I want to see beautiful women.
In the afternoon, Xu Qing came to Stanford.
Xu Qing can't remember how long she hasn't been to school, a month, two months?
The school has long ignored Xu Qing's behavior of not coming to class, Xu Qing now has a net worth of billions of dollars, and these ordinary college courses are useless.
There was a class in the afternoon, Xu Qing came directly to the classroom, and Xu Qing's appearance attracted strong attention.
Rare, that's the word that comes to the minds of the vast majority of students.
Xu Qing greeted the classmates with a smile, looking very familiar to everyone.
