Chapter 149: The pride of the Donglong people

On Monday morning, Wu Cheng gathered all the employees of Donglong International and held a year-end summary meeting in the large conference room. For seventy-six years have passed, and seventy-seven years have come.

In the year and a half since he came to Xiangjiang, Wu Cheng feels that he has done a lot of things.

At the meeting, Wu Cheng supported Michelle and said with a smile: "Today's meeting is very simple, it is to summarize everyone's experience of success or failure in last year's work, and let everyone know our company's income last year, and at the same time send the company's dividends to everyone." ”

As soon as they heard that there was a dividend, everyone couldn't help but applaud warmly with excitement.

Wu Cheng raised his hand and pressed it, the applause disappeared, and then said with a smile: "After everyone's efforts last year, we have opened a branch on the treasure island." Although the branch has not yet had any performance, this is also a kind of progress and a reflection of our heritage for Donglong International. ”

After a pause, he said: "As for the Hollywood film company DreamWorks, although it has nothing to do with Donglong International, Donglong International also has business dealings with them. Several of our previous films, with their efforts, have also been released in North America one after another. ”

"Although the scale of the release is small, it can be regarded as an improvement!"

Hearing this, the applause of the crowd became even more enthusiastic. In their eyes, Hollywood is more or less a rare peak, and it is all a skill to be able to stir up wind and rain over there.

Didn't you see that Golden Harvest is always thinking about entering Hollywood now and can't?

"Last week, DreamWorks had already put the box office revenue of 'Fuxing One' into the accounting department of Donglong International. This piece of income is our net income. Although it is only about 10 million Hong Kong dollars, it is also an achievement. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be overjoyed. Although the box office income of 10 million Hong Kong dollars is considered a street hit for North America, you must know that the investment of 'Fu Xingyi' is only about 600,000 US dollars. This proportion of investment income is already very high.

Moreover, this is still a box office dividend, and the total box office is nearly eight million dollars.

This kind of achievement, over there, may not be taken seriously, but in Xiangjiang, it is already a very good result. You must know that the box office of this drama in Xiangjiang is only more than 14 million! It is no wonder that these executives are so excited.

After announcing the news, Wu Cheng motioned to the financial manager Zhao Yazhi to get up and speak.

Zhao Yazhi took the information handed over to her by the deputy manager Ma Xinlian, then got up and bowed to the employees, sat down, helped Michael Feng, coughed lightly, and said crisply: "Here is the company's income list in the past year, last year our company made a total of seven films, four of which have been released, and the box office revenue has also entered our Donglong International, and the remaining three, one is the just-released "Fa Qian Han", one is "Taking the Wrong Car" in preparation for the Spring Festival, and the last one is the "Drunken Fist II" that is being filmed. ”

Zhao Yazhi glanced at everyone and continued: "Four films, plus income from other cities, our Donglong International's total income after excluding taxes is more than 132 million. If you add the income from helping other companies distribute films, the total income of our Donglong International is 146.76 million. In addition to the company's various expenses and taxes, as well as the investment expenses of the film, our Donglong International's net income last year was about 100 million......"

Hearing this number, all the employees couldn't help but gasp.

This is the total income of Donglong International last year?

For a while, the buzzing discussion was endless.

But think about it, Wu Cheng's film company DreamWorks in North America earned 200 million Hong Kong dollars for a film, and this more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars doesn't seem to be worth making too much fuss.

The corners of Wu Cheng's lips raised slightly, and finally took Zhao Yazhi's words, and said: "Although our company's income is very considerable, you must know that the income in this is added to the income in North America." Other companies in North America don't have any distribution channels. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nod, and at the same time they were deeply proud.

Then, Wu Cheng looked at Shi Nansheng and said, "Manager Shi, tell me about the work achievements of your distribution department in the past year!

Shi Nansheng got up and nodded to everyone, and said, "In the second half of last year, the focus of our distribution department shifted to Nanyang. This piece is the weakest link for us Donglong International. However, through our unremitting efforts, some achievements have finally been made. ”

After a pause, she added: "Because the films produced by our company are all box office hits, and the theaters in many countries over there like our films more." As a result, we have directly partnered with some cinema chains in several countries. However, this is on the premise that Shaw Brothers did not make trouble for us. After spending a lot of time in Nanyang, I found that the Shaw Brothers were on the Nanyang side, and the power in the theater line was much stronger than in Xiangjiang. ”

This is actually not surprising to everyone, because the foundation of the development of the Shaw brothers was originally on the Nanyang side. Originally, people used to do cinemas.

However, Wu Cheng believes that when he has money, the theater chain in Nanyang will definitely have to disturb some of them. Otherwise, the feeling of being choked by Shaw's neck all day long is uncomfortable.

Originally, he was going to develop theaters on the treasure island and Nanyang side first, and then turn to Japan and South Korea, and finally Hollywood.

Unexpectedly, now Hollywood has developed first. Although it is only a small theater with only more than 8,000 seats, it is also a theater chain.

Most of the box office of 'Fuxing One' was contributed by this Anji Cinema Line.

After all departments made a summary, Wu Chengcai said: "Donglong International, with an annual income of more than 130 million, is the strongest for all film companies! We must maintain this upward momentum, because this year, we have more films than last year." ”

After a pause, he glanced at the group of employees sitting below, and said with a smile on the corner of his lips: "Do you know what the total box office of the entire Xiangjiang was last year?"

Seeing many people shaking their heads, Wu Chengcai said: "All the big and small films combined, excluding those underground theaters, the total box office of the entire Xiangjiang is more than 160 million!

When all the employees heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned.

Wu Cheng said with a smile: "You know, we have a quarter of the share! How many large and small film companies are there in Xiangjiang? Shouldn't you feel proud?"

All the employees couldn't help but nod when they heard this, but the impact is not very big, and it is estimated that Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest must also have a similar share!

But Wu Cheng's words next made everyone gasp.

"Do you know that we only have four movies in our company! How many other companies have?"

The box office results of the four films accounted for a quarter of the total box office of last year, which is too scary! I didn't think there was anything before, but now I think about it......

Thinking about the speed at which Shaw Brothers produced films, and then looking at Golden Harvest, everyone involuntarily pushed forward to their waists, puffed up their chests, and sat up straight.

Because, they are all Donglong International people!

Seeing the change in everyone's expressions, Wu Cheng smiled, got up and said: "In view of everyone's efforts in work last year, after discussing with several shareholders of the company, I announced here that the company will retain 40 million development funds, and the remaining 60 million dividends, and give 10% to all employees of the company as New Year's benefits!

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but cheer!

For a time, the enthusiasm of the employees of all departments was high, and the efficiency was improved by a few points.

Although they don't know how much dividends they can get, one-tenth of the 60 million is 6 million! The total number of employees in the entire company is less than 500! On average, each person has more than 10,000! Moreover, this is not a year-end bonus.

Many people feel that this year can be very comfortable!

After the staff meeting, Wu Cheng continued to hold a small meeting with the executives of various departments, and also determined their dividends for the executives of various departments.

Among them, Shi Nansheng's dividends in the distribution department are the largest, because Wu Cheng promised her that one percent of his personal dividends would be given to her as a reward, and there are 400,000 here!

This dividend is the envy of other executives of the company. But who told them that they were not only valued by the boss, but also the vice president of the company! They also knew that the vice president of the boss's business in North America was personally handled at that time. Otherwise, there would be no film companies in North America.

In fact, this is also a personal reward for the boss, and it has nothing to do with their dividends.

When Hong Jinbao got this part of the dividend, he couldn't stop laughing. Because he knew from Xu Guanwen that he was on Jiahe's side, but he was doing very unsatisfactory.

Hong Jinbao did not think about opening Donglong International's satellite company by himself, because in this way, he can make more money by opening a satellite company by himself.

But things have to be looked at from two aspects, the current directors of the company, there are only a few of them, and of the four films released last year, he directed three of them.

What about this year? and later?

Also, if he runs to open a satellite company by himself, will Wu Cheng still keep the shares of the cinema chain for him?

The most important thing is that Hong Jinbao is a more righteous and good-looking person, and he doesn't want to be said to be said at this time to only look at the 'money' side and not the 'love' side.

After all, his rise is inseparable from the support of Donglong International and Wu Cheng.

In the previous life, when he was oppressed by Jiahe, he did not leave at first, but it was not due to his character. If it was for other more utilitarian people, it would have been done a long time ago.

Of course, Wu Cheng didn't want him to open a satellite company now.
