269 acquisition of Hollywood studios3
McKenna Pictures is actually a member of the third echelon in Hollywood at best, let alone on a par with the giants of Disney, Columbia, and DreamWorks, and it is precisely because he is inconspicuous that it is more convenient to acquire. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoNo matter how big a company is, it is impossible for a Japanese to buy it, unless it discloses its identity as a Chinese, otherwise the government will definitely intervene.
McKenna Films is located in the western suburbs of Burbank, a subsidiary of Los Angeles, in an old five-story building. Among the newer high-rises in the vicinity, it resembles a dwarf beneath the towering trees of the forest, unremarkable.
Today is an unusual day for all of McKenna's employees, as a Japanese principal is coming. For most of these people who have worked in McKenna for a long time, their feelings are very complicated, working in this company, although it is not as glamorous and enviable as the big film companies, and it will not be favored by the media, but the working atmosphere of this company is very good, and the general manager, Mr. David Frankl, is a person who is respected by everyone, and the salary is acceptable, but today the old man has changed, and he is a Japanese. They had the impression that the yellow race in the United States was only respected, while the Japanese were mostly like doglegs, either working as waiters in Chinese restaurants in Chinatown or porters at the docks.
Now, everyone from the general manager to the security guard in the foyer is worried that they will lose their jobs.
Now that work has largely come to a standstill, everyone is pessimistic about the future of the company. Perhaps until now, only the name of the company is still the same as before.
"Maybe this Japanese is here, and the company will be prosperous from now on!" thought only a newly hired employee.
Lu Ming declined Frankl's suggestion to let him have a good day first and came to the company. The employees in the company were very curious about the old and new wrench, and poked their heads out to look at the young Asian in twos and threes.
"David, introduce me to everyone, everyone is also curious about me!" Lu Ming instructed Frankl with a smile.
"Good land, sir!" replied Frankl, who immediately summoned the managers of the company's various departments and some representatives of the general employees to the conference room.
Lu Ming sat in the conference room and quickly looked at these anxious subordinates.
"David, how about giving each of the gentlemen and ladies a cup of coffee?" Lu Ming said, which made the people in front of him relax a little.
"Of course no problem, do you want tea?" Frankl still knew a little about the eating habits of Asians, and he was very thoughtful, which made Lu Ming smile.
"If there is, then it's the best!" Lu Ming nodded in agreement, sometimes as a leader, letting his subordinates serve a little will make his subordinates feel valued......
"McKenna Fellows, my name is Chen San. I'm the owner of Warner Pictures in Japan, and before I came here, I was thinking: am I going to develop this company? Lu Ming said, someone made eye contact, revealing knowing eyes.
"It's normal. When I met Mr. David Frankl, I changed my mind. The staff below looked questioning, "Why do you say that? It occurred to me that I was in charge? I didn't know anyone here an hour ago." And Mr. David Frankel has been with the company for eighteen years, and everyone here respects him. In Hollywood, there are so many companies like ours, but Mr. David Frankel has kept this company standing, which means that Mr. David Frankel is the only person to be the general manager. ”
Lu Ming's words were obviously agreed by the listeners, and the work of stabilizing the morale of the army still needs to be fired: "And I am a director and an actor. My job is only to make films, and I don't interfere with administrative work, and the current rules and regulations will not change. But I'm worried!"
"Sir, are you worried about the salary burden, or is it a layoff?" someone asked. This is the fate that usually happens when a company is bought by an outsider. Direct mortgage salary cuts may not be commonly used, but they are used as an excuse to achieve the goal of reducing salaries for employees. This is a common tactic used by bosses.
"Salary, no, no, I'm not worried, any job that is needed by the company will be paid to match it, I don't think your salary is too high, if anyone thinks the current salary is too much, I will fire him immediately. Napoleon said that a soldier who does not want to be a marshal is not a good soldier. I don't think an employee who doesn't want to get paid a lot is not a good employee! My concern is that in the future, our company will grow day by day, and we will not be understaffed. Lu Ming once again brought Napoleon out to talk about things, it is estimated that this column has been fully used by countless people all over the world, although it sounds not new, but it is simple and clear.
"Mr. Chen's intention is. We at McKenna will invest in making films, which means we're not laying off people, we're hiring. Frankl chimed in, "And as soon as the company has sufficient financial resources, it will consider raising the current salary level of its employees." ”
"If you have a good recommendation, you can directly recommend it to David, and from today onwards, the new land McKenna Company will officially enter Hollywood!" Lu Ming continued to boost morale, "You will witness the growth of the new company, because you will become one of the reasons for the growth of the company, and everyone will play a 120 percent role!" Lu Ming's words reassured everyone, and some people are already looking for candidates for the company. Although Lu Ming did not say his economic strength, after all, he is still not very familiar with the people of the entire film company.
"David gave me an office, but I didn't really need it because my workplace was on set. I just mention one thing, remove the door of my office, my office should be open and any employee can enter freely, and then tell me what to do and what not to do, I welcome that!" Lu Ming said. This is my first request when I come here, and I hope that this request will be communicated to every employee of the company quickly!"
Lu Ming's words subverted everyone's understanding of the Chinese, and everyone couldn't help but applaud and welcome. Respect the value of each person, respect the role of each person, this is Lu Ming's style of managing the company, should let the professional manager manage, he will never interfere. And the ** that is respected in the hearts of his employees has been satisfied. This is also one of the secrets of Lu Ming's business success in the past two years. (To be continued.) )
