Chapter 67 Acquisition of Xieli
"Who?Deng Guangrong, is he going to buy Xieli Company?" Ye Jianren laughed, smiling very happily.
Since the last time he made an unpleasant fuss at the celebration banquet, Ye Jianren has been guarding against this kind-hearted guy, and he thought that he could have any means, but he didn't expect it to be just this kind of small action that couldn't be put on the stage, it seemed that he was overestimating him.
"Mr. Ye doesn't seem to be worried at all?" Bai Caiwei was surprised by Ye Jianren's relaxed reaction.
"Xieli's biggest asset is its distribution channel, but Darong is Golden Harvest's satellite company, and the distribution of his films is all in charge of Golden Harvest, what does he want to do with the distribution channel? If he doesn't want a distribution channel, why did he buy Xieli? Could it be that spending millions just to block me?" Ye Jianren said.
"What if Deng Guangrong wants to break away from Golden Harvest and set up an independent production company?" Bai Caiwei worried.
"Then I really admire him. Ye Jianren said, "Without Golden Harvest, the release schedule of its movies is a big problem, and I don't think he should dare to do this with his courage and ability." ”
"That Xieli is ...... over there"
"Don't worry about Xieli's side, let it dry for a few more days. Even if it is really acquired by Shadow Zhijie, it is a big deal to change it. Ye Jianren thought for a while and said, "In this way, let's also let out some rumors, just say that we will change the acquisition target and prepare to acquire Binbin Pictures, and this matter will be handed over to Shen Chengdong, who used to be the editor-in-chief of the newspaper and has a wide range of contacts." ”
"No problem. Bai Caiwei nodded, "What other instructions does Mr. Ye have?" ”
"Not for the time being, you go first. ”
In the next two days, there were rumors everywhere in the industry that Deng Guangrong was going to acquire Xieli and Ye Jianren was going to acquire Binbin, but the rain was heavy and the thunder was small, and there was no substantial progress.
On Deng Guangrong's side, he had no intention of acquiring it, just to raise the price. As for Ye Jianren, he didn't even have contact with Binbin, after all, Binbin's boss is tycoon Ye Zhiming, and making movies is just a ticket, so how could he sell the company because of this money.
After trying to do this for a while, Wu Xiejian found that Ye Jianren was not moved at all, and finally returned to the negotiating table. In the end, Ye Jianren added 200,000 more and won Xieli Company at a price of 2.2 million.
On May 14, Ye Jianren officially acquired Xieli Company. After signing the contract and completing the share transfer, Ye Jianren took Bai Caiwei to the new company as soon as possible.
Like his Jianren Film Company, Xieli Company only rented a few small offices in the office building, and when he arrived, he found that the company was in a mess, only a few employees were there, and they all gathered together to chat, and there was no reaction to him coming in.
"Ye Dong, you're here!" a middle-aged man in his thirties with eyes trotted over and said flatteringly.
Ye Jianren bought all the shares of Xieli, and naturally he was the chairman of Xieli Company.
"Oh, you know me?" Ye Jianren asked.
"I've heard for a long time that you're buying our company, so I've gathered a lot of news from you. The man said.
"Not bad, not bad. Ye Jianren nodded and said, "What's your name, and what position is it now?"
"My name is Diamond and I'm in charge of the company's logistics. When Diamond heard Ye Jianren's praise, he immediately held his head high, like a soldier under review.
"What's going on with the company?" Ye Jianren asked as he looked at the still messy crowd.
"It's not that I recently heard that the company is going to be sold, and everyone doesn't have much to do. Diamond said honestly, not at all in the sense of playing for his former colleagues.
"Cai Wei, go back and write down the names of these people, keep them for inspection, and if you don't perform well in the future, you will open it directly. ”
"Got it. Bai Caiwei, who was following behind, nodded
Ye Jianren turned to Diamond and said, "Notify all the department directors in the company to come to the meeting." ”
Diamond suddenly showed an embarrassed look on his face, and said embarrassedly: "Ye Dong, I am the only department director left in our company. ”
"Hmm, what about the others?" asked Ye Jianren.
"Mr. Wu Xiejian is in charge of the production department and the finance department, and Mr. Wu Xiehe is in charge of the distribution department. Diamond explained.
The rest of the departments such as the legal department and the artist department were not even mentioned, and there was no need to think about it to know that this kind of company that only cares about following the trend to make money and does not want to develop and grow will not have these departments.
"It's okay if you don't, anyway, these departments have to be merged into Jianren Film Company, and I will find a way to arrange them if I happen to save it. Ye Jianren said, "You can give me a general introduction of the company's current situation." ”
"The company now has two contracted directors, three contracted actors, and 41 behind-the-scenes personnel such as photography, lighting, and scene notes. Diamond said as he handed over a list, apparently prepared.
Ye Jianren took it and took a look, the signed directors were Zhang Sen and Yang Quan, the two jack-of-all-trades, the three contracted actors were not very famous, only Zhang Wulang was quite famous, and none of the forty-one behind the scenes knew him. Since it is behind the scenes, it is difficult to become famous, and it is normal for Ye Jianren not to know him.
"What else?" Ye Jianren put the list aside and asked, "I know all these basic information, let's talk about something I don't know, such as the company's current situation and the distribution network in various regions." ”
"The company now has a two-step film in production......
"Wait a minute, there are still two movies to be made?" Ye Jianren exclaimed.
"That's right, one is "Three Tiger Generals", post-production is almost over, and it is planned to be released on the 16th, but ......" Diamond said.
"But what?"
However, Mr. Wu had previously sold the release of the film to Jardine Matheson. ”
"In other words, this movie has nothing to do with us, no matter what the box office is, we can't get a penny, right?" Ye Jianren asked.
"That's right. Diamond said with an ugly face, Wu Xiejian did a bit too much to sell the company's unfinished movies in advance.
Ye Jianren was not bothered, because this was the nature of a businessman. And he had never heard of this movie in his previous life, so it shouldn't be good at the box office, and it doesn't have much impact on whether it sells or not.
"And another movie?"
"There is another movie in the pipeline, which will start in two days. Diamond said.
"What's your name?"
"It's called "Expected", and it is the director of Men Yueting who is in charge. ”
Well, it's another movie that I haven't even heard of a name.
"Let them stop. Ye Jianren said, "This movie is no longer filmed, it just so happens that Xu Ke is going to shoot "Lu Xiaofeng" and there is still a shortage of manpower, let them go to the crew of "Lu Xiaofeng". ”
"Got it. "It's normal for a new boss to take over and cut off the plan left by the old boss.
"What about distribution?" asked Ye Jianren.
"I'm not in charge of the distribution side, so I don't know much about it. ”
Ye Jianren thought for a while and said: "I will let Mr. Li be responsible for the integration of the company, your task now is to maintain the company's distribution channels for me, although Wu Xiehe is gone, but the company must have some employees who were originally responsible for distribution." I don't have to ask how to do it, I'll look at the results, and if you do a good job, the position of distribution director is yours. ”
Diamond suddenly said excitedly: "Ye Dong, don't worry, I will not let you down." ”
"Very well, go get to work. Ye Jianren patted him on the shoulder.
Not long after Diamond left, a middle-aged man in his forties came over.
"Ye Donghao, I'm Zhang Sen, and I'm the director of Xieli. The man introduced himself.
"I know you, what's the matter with me?" Ye Jianren asked.
"That...... Ye Dong, I want to terminate the contract with the company. ”
