Wen Bingxi suggested to Li Yixuan: "Don't hide your chip factory, take them to see it! As well as the new generation of computer technology you are developing, move out and show them so that they can know your little technical strength, which will only be good for your next negotiations." ”

Wen Bingxi knew about Li Yixuan's situation and what he was doing recently, so he reminded him not to overdo it.

"You don't need to worry about them having some unrealistic ideas, as long as they have ideas, they have to ask you, and the initiative in negotiation is all on you, and you can ask for better terms like them. With his many years of experience in shopping mall negotiations, Wen Bingxi said: "Don't be embarrassed to speak just because the other party is a compatriot, you must know that there is always no father and son in the shopping mall." You just have to think about whether the other person treats you as a compatriot when they make unrealistic demands. Business negotiation is business negotiation, and ideology has always been different. ”

Wen Bingxi was worried that Li Yixuan was too young to distinguish the essence, and it was easy to fall for those old foxes, so he said a few more words.

Li Yixuan didn't speak, he sat there silently, listened to Wen Bingxi's words just now, his heart moved, and said, "Old Wen, what if I let you be in charge of the negotiations with the Chinese side?"

"I ......," Wen Bingxi was surprised, "Why?"

"Because you're sober enough to tell the scales. What's more, the head office of Oranges lacks a CEO in the future, and my mother is old, both over 70, and needs a successor. I've seen your performance over the past few years, and you're the best CEO candidate for Oranges. ”

"Let me be the CEO of Oranges?" Wen Bingxi didn't expect Li Yixuan to let him be the new CEO of Oranges, and he was completely at a loss.

"That's right," Li Yixuan nodded: "Cao Yajing and Chang Feng are too young to control such a large company, you are the best candidate for the company at present, as a professional manager, your professional quality is enough, and you are more familiar with the situation in the United States than me." You know the company's next development plan, the next 20 years will be a crucial 20 years for Oranges, and the company needs to develop quietly before the domestic market is thoroughly cultivated.

Before that, the mainland government needs to be dealt with first, so this negotiation with the mainland government is very important for the company, which is related to the future rise and fall of the company. I need someone with a lot of experience and commitment to lead this negotiation. And you're the right fit!"

Li Yixuan finally said the real purpose of his trip, after all, his mother is old and needs a successor to take her place, and among the existing senior management talents of Oranges Company, only Wen Bingxi is qualified to be the successor, and Cao Yajing and Chang Feng, after more than ten years, it is better to be the general manager of their branch now.

After listening to Wen Bingxi's persuasion just now, Li Yixuan was even more sure that Wen Bingxi was the most suitable successor, although he was not in Hong Kong, he had a deep understanding of the situation of the head office in Hong Kong, and he knew more about Li Yixuan's plans for the company's future.

More importantly, from the conversation just now, Wen Bingxi agreed with Li Yixuan's idea that the company must remain in obscurity for the next 20 years to avoid the ruthless suppression of Oranges by Western countries.

And the only one who can help him get through this twenty-year long difficulty is Wen Bingxi, Cao Yajing and Chang Feng can't do it with their current experience and knowledge.

"What about the TV station?"

Li Yixuan knew that Wen Bingxi was moved, and said: "Since I will not become an American citizen, AMG has only two ways to go in the future: first, it is to sell it, you know that the reason why I bought the TV station in the first place was to broadcast cartoons, and now that this purpose has been achieved, it is not meaningful to stay in my hands again, it is better to sell it at a good price now, but the contract must state that in the future, AMG's new owner must broadcast the cartoons and documentaries produced by our company, as well as the TV series produced by our company."

Second, it will not completely abandon AMG, but will introduce new investors and reduce itself to the second shareholder by diluting its shares, but it will still be an influential major shareholder. In this way, no matter how strong AMG grows in the future, it will not attract suppression from all walks of life in the United States. Of these two plans, Lao Wen, do you think which one is more suitable?"

Wen Bingxi looked at Li Yixuan for a long time and smiled, "I said how did you set up a TV drama center in the first place, and forcibly dismantle AMG's TV drama department, it turns out that you have already made this plan~ Xuan Shao, you are really thinking ahead." ”

Li Yixuan did not deny it, in fact, when he bought the TV station again, Guo Yifei reminded him that with his Chinese and non-American identity, it is okay to make money, but it is difficult to make the TV station bigger, so Li Yixuan thought of this trick.

"The two schemes, each with its own advantages and disadvantages," Li Yixuan stretched out two fingers and said: " The first plan, the advantage is to sell the peace of mind, as for how the other party will run the TV station in the future, it has nothing to do with us, and my TV drama center has become famous in the United States, although AMG also holds half of the equity of the two TV series, but the property rights of other TV series are in our hands, and we can find other TV stations to cooperate, because there is no consideration of fees, there will be fewer fetters, and the production of the program will be more comfortable.

This is the advantage of the first plan, and the disadvantages are also obvious, you know that the film and television dramas broadcast in Hollywood, generally TV stations or film companies require half of the copyright. The purpose is to prevent the production company from going to other TV stations to obtain greater benefits after the program becomes popular, thereby harming the interests of the original broadcast TV station. Therefore, we will have to do a good job of a lawsuit with the new owner of AMG over the copyright of "Friends" and "Breaking Bad" in the future, and it is possible that this lawsuit will be very big and long.

If the interests are not consistent, the other party is likely to completely destroy these two TV series with great potential. Even if we have more programs in our hands and work with other stations. ”

Li Yixuan said that it is not impossible, this kind of thing is very common in Hollywood. Half-ownership of shows is the rule not only in Hollywood, but also in other countries, such as South Korea and RB. Even later generations of China will account for half of the show's equity.

The reason is that they are afraid that after the TV series becomes popular, when they want to make a sequel, they will no longer look for them, so both parties own half of the copyright of the show.

But the biggest disadvantage of this is that the interests of TV stations or film companies, as well as distributors and film and television production companies, are not always the same, and it is inevitable that they will fight.

When the interests are always not aligned, or when the party that controls the broadcast platform becomes angry because of the ridicule, they will take extreme measures to destroy the show, no matter how popular the show is with the audience.

Of course, such extreme things are extremely rare in Hollywood, and both sides rarely take such an extreme lose-lose approach. However, it is very common in Hollywood to rip off over copyright, and there will be a war of words in the future anyway.

That's where the first approach comes in.

"The advantage of the second approach is that we are not completely exiting, we are not the largest shareholder of AMG, but we are the second largest shareholder, and we still have a lot of influence on the board, and the other party cannot ignore our influence on the board. What's more, we are also the majority shareholder of the TV station, and neither side will worry about anything going wrong when it comes to program copyright. If you want to make money and make it together, you want to lose it together, because everyone's interests are the same.

The disadvantage is that we can't go to other TV companies to cooperate with the programs in our hands. But it doesn't matter, who you work with is not a cooperation, at least there is no copyright trouble. The real problem is that if the other party finds an unreliable professional manager to run the TV station and makes a mess of the TV station, we will be implicated.

Therefore, we need to introduce a reliable investor, a new investor who can cooperate with both parties for a long time in the future, and this investor is not easy to find. ”

Wen Bingxi fully agreed with Li Yixuan's statement and said: "I think Xuan Shao must support the second plan in his heart. ”

Li Yixuan nodded and admitted: "After all, we are Chinese, and I am not American, and we are producing American dramas. You know, the biggest feature of Hollywood's film and television dramas is that they criticize the U.S. government, and they use the U.S. government to hack and blacken it when they have nothing to do.

If the boss of the TV drama center is a standard American, and he is also a white American, as long as he takes the scale well, the impact is not big, everyone should have fun, and no media will take this matter seriously.

But it's a different story for me as a non-American, who will think I'm attacking the United States with ulterior motives, so we can't completely lose our influence on AMG TV. Even if something happens, there will be a tall man in front. ”

It is precisely because of this that when Li Yixuan wrote the script again, he never took out American dramas such as "House of Cards", which was very popular in later generations.

Li Yixuan believes that according to the plot structure of "House of Cards", even if the timeline is changed and the story location is changed, the new "House of Cards" will still receive a great response in the United States.

But later, the media and the audience actually found out that this script was actually written by a Chinese, and what were the next consequences? You should know that you don't have to think about it with your toes that it will be ruthlessly suppressed by all walks of life in the United States.

The reason is also very simple, there are too many political metaphors for the United States in "House of Cards", these things are said by the United States itself, but if it is replaced by a non-American, these things will be resisted.

"Then Xuan Shao, do you have a suitable candidate?" Wen Bingxi believed that since Li Yixuan had already considered this, he must be the candidate in his mind.

In addition, Wen Bingxi also has a personal choice in his heart, but he wants to hear Li Yixuan's candidate first, after all, Li Yixuan is the boss.

If you say it yourself, what if you don't agree with the person the boss has in mind?
