Chapter 348: ABC TV
When Hollywood was still immersed in a pirate-themed movie that broke its fate for many years, a news from the seemingly unwanted stock market thundered the whole of Hollywood.
There is news in the securities market that the famous Disney Company in Hollywood has officially submitted an application for delisting to the Securities Regulatory Commission!
When the news came, the whole of Hollywood was thrown into chaos. Everyone didn't know what was going on and why Disney suddenly asked to be delisted.
There are only two reasons for a listed company to be delisted, one is that it has to be delisted because it cannot continue to operate and go bankrupt. The other is that it was bought.
Disney has indeed had a bad time lately, but it has not reached the point of bankruptcy. It's a big company, and it's so easy to go bankrupt. If this is the case, there is only one possibility left, and that is to be acquired.
The news was soon confirmed that the person who bought Disney was Zhang Fan!
This is the first reaction of many people. When they learned that it was Zhang Fan who made the movie, everyone was dumbfounded. Zhang Fan is very profitable, and they all know that he is also very rich. But that's Disney, Disney with a market value of tens of billions of dollars! Where did he get the money to buy Disney?
Soon new news came out that Zhang Fan had already purchased a large number of Alibaba shares and became an important shareholder before Alibaba went public. After going public, Zhang Fan received a huge income. And this money is where he bought Disney.
After the news was confirmed, the whole of Hollywood became a sensation. It didn't take long for Zhang Fan to come to Hollywood, and he bought a super-large company like Disney with his own strength. This achievement is the envy of many people.
And people like Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley, who are close to Zhang Fan, are even more ecstatic. Because they know that from now on, there will be a powerful figure like Zhang Fan in Hollywood. This is something that countless actors dream of.
When the news spread, Zhang Fan's mobile phone did not stop ringing. Countless people who know or don't know him are all calling him, wanting to say a few words to the new Hollywood tycoon, Lala.
Several other major Hollywood studios are also contacting Mr. Zhang. After Disney changed hands, they were eager to know what Zhang Fan now thinks about whether he will continue to monopolize Hollywood with several other film companies.
In the face of these endless phone calls, Zhang Fan did not answer any of them. He gave Li Ruhui his office phone and asked her to deal with these people. Zhang Fan himself came to the extremely important subsidiary of the Disney Group, and ABC TV discussed work with the senior management of TV.
"Mr. Zhang, congratulations on becoming the owner of Disney. ABC TV director Jonathan Li De led a group of high-level executives to greet Zhang Fan outside the office building. The scene was very lively and lively.
Zhang Fan bought Disney as a wholly-owned company this time, rather than becoming the chairman of the board of directors of Disney. This is the boss in the real sense, and the chairman of the board of directors also has to accept questions and questions from shareholders, since BC TV is a subsidiary of Disney, the fate of these people is naturally in the hands of Zhang Fan.
Don't look at the news, many senior managers can easily resign or be poached, as if there is no shortage of jobs. In fact, being in the news proves that this kind of thing is rare, and there are many managers who work in various companies. It's very rare to be able to do that to that extent, and the vast majority of people are like ABC TV executives, who are focused on working for a company and are equally worried about their position.
"Hmm. Zhang Fan nodded and walked directly into the building.
Zhang Fan used to come here to open the door to the American market. At that time, Zhang Fan was just an ordinary outsider to ABC TV, and the top management never even came forward.
But now, Zhang Fan has become their boss, and when he comes here again, the entire company's senior management comes out to greet him, which is the result of the change of identity.
"The first thing I came to when I took over was ABC. After entering the conference room, Zhang Fan simply greeted him and went straight to the point: "Because I know very well that ABC TV is a very important place for Disney." ”
Zhang Fan's words made the executives of ABC TV present smile instantly. No one doesn't like the feeling of being valued.
"So, I'm going to pay more attention to ABC TV betting. Zhang Fan raised his hand and knocked on the table: "ABC TV's performance must increase by at least 50% in the next year!"
'Hiss~~~' The executives of ABC TV were all dumbfounded. They're not just starting a small TV station, but a super-large TV station that's been around for decades and is one of the top tiers in all of North America. On the basis of the existing one, another 50 percent will be added? Is Zhang Fan joking?
Many people wanted to open their mouths to tell Zhang Fan that he was whimsical. But before they could speak, Zhang Fan had already waved his hand to interrupt them, "BC TV is big now, and it is impossible to increase so many benefits in such a short period of time." ”
Looking at the high-level executives in front of him with disapproving expressions, Zhang Fan smiled, "Of course I will prepare something for you to increase benefits." ”
Zhang Fan gestured for a moment, and the assistants who followed him quickly placed the documents one by one in front of these high-level officials.
"That's what I have in store for ABC. Zhang Fan motioned to the high-level executives to look at the documents in front of them, "In terms of variety shows, I want to become a millionaire, and the copyright of American idols will be handed over to you." In terms of TV series, the copyright of A Song of Ice and Fire is given to you, and I even wrote the game script for the rights after the adaptation into a TV series. On top of that, Disney and Pixar and all the promotional aspects of the movie that I made were left to you. ”
Zhang Fan leaned forward and looked at these ABC TV executives with fierce eyes, "With the support of so many things, if you can't do what I ask, then please find another job!"
Zhang Fan's words are very dissatisfied with the executives of ABC TV. But they did not dare and could not say anything to refute it. It's like in the TV series, just throwing things away because of anger, at least it won't appear on these people.
It's not easy to get to the top of ABC TV. Not only must you have enough ability, but you also have enough qualifications and luck in the TV station to get to this point.
High salary, various benefits, reimbursement of travel expenses for various business trips, staying in star-rated hotels when going out, and being able to take paid leave to travel with family members every year or TV station reimbursement expenses and so on. That's not counting their status, which leads to many people giving gifts and entertaining guests all day long, and those young boys and girls who want to realize their dream of stardom take the initiative to give hugs and so on.
With so many benefits and social status, how could they easily give it up? Therefore, no matter how ugly Zhang Fan's words were, they would listen to them.
"Mr. Zhang, no one can guarantee this kind of thing. Jonathan Li De is the director of the station, and if he wants to put forward any opinions on Zhang Fan at this time, he can only come forward: "No one can guarantee that he will be able to increase his performance by 50 percent." It's just too difficult. ”
"yes, if we increase it by 50 percent, that's the number one in North America. After Jonathan Reid spoke, someone immediately echoed him.
"What I want is to become the No. 1 in North America!" Zhang Fan sat down and lit a cigarette, "ABC TV must become the No. 1 in North America in my hands, and then the No. 1 in the world!"
"Now that the request has been made, can you give me an accurate reply now? Zhang Fan looked at these ABC TV executives with a calm face, "If you can do it, then go to the preparation immediately, and I will see the effect in a year." If the effect is good, then get a promotion and a raise. If the effect is not good, then all leave. If you think you can't do it, say it now. I'm going to find someone who can do it. ”
Zhang Fan has said that to this extent, what can these ABC TV executives do? Are they really not doing it?
Zhang Fan was in high spirits when he left ABC TV. He had long been unhappy with these corpse vegetarian people, and now he naturally took this opportunity to beat them up, lest they think that they would be able to live the same life as before after changing the boss.
Zhang Fan, who is messing around, is not worried, ordinary employees are basically messing around after doing their own work. But he couldn't stand these high-level people messing around. Because they mess around and ruin a company. Give them a difficult goal to do, and if they can accomplish it, it proves that they still know how to correct their mistakes, that their ability is okay, and that they can continue to use it. And if he can't do it, Zhang Fan will not hesitate to replace all these people!
There are countless professional managers in the United States, and it is not a new thing for people with strong work ability to receive relief. Thanks to the higher education here, there are countless talents of all kinds. If Zhang Fan said that ABC TV was preparing to recruit senior managers, he would definitely be overwhelmed by the job search file. Even excellent managers from other companies take the initiative to apply for jobs.
After leaving ABC TV, Zhang Fanyou went to Disney's headquarters, and then went to Disneyland's headquarters and other Disney subsidiaries to inspect. Since you have taken over the company, you must at least know your company very well.
After the China Securities Regulatory Commission approved Disney's application for delisting, Zhang Fan officially voted for Disney Company to be delisted from the stock market and became Zhang Fan's private company.
After taking over Disney, Zhang Fan announced that Pixar and his own film company would all be merged into Disney. After the news came out, countless people beat their chests and were annoyed.
As for the simple reason, they didn't drink the soup.
