Chapter 881: Chinese Legion

Now it seems that they acquired Time Warner, and News Corp. can be said to have profited a lot from it, and after absorbing the power brought by Abel, News Corp. and its Fox Company have become the strongest overlords in Hollywood......

He Tiejun, Wang Jianlin and others couldn't help but look at Gu Xiaofan, wanting to see what his reaction was, after all, in art, they didn't understand, everything could only be judged by Gu Xiaofan's words. 【Reading.com】

Everyone complained and watched, but saw that Gu Xiaofan was not only not the slightest flustered, but calm, as if he had expected this situation for a long time, showing a free and easy smile:

"Okay, the responsibility for these things is not on you, no one will be held accountable, as for the matter of the lawsuit with News Corporation, it will be handled by the legal department."

After all, Chinese companies have not acquired American companies once or twice in recent years, from automobiles, televisions, mobile phones in various fields, which is not before American companies are acquired, a large number of transfer of their own technology patents?

This time, it is just from the technology industry to the film and television industry, and the same drama is staged.

Gu Xiaofan's words made everyone in Warner breathe a sigh of relief, they didn't expect the new group helmsman to be so easy to speak, but at the same time, they felt that Gu Xiaofan was a little weak.

You must know that Abel took refuge in News Corporation, and the copyright lawsuits of the two multinational groups are at least five years, and they start in ten years, no matter whether they win or lose, Warner can't afford to spend it, and after ten years, can Warner under the leadership of Gu Xiaofan still gain a foothold in Hollywood?

Abel and News Corp., I'm afraid that they can be driven out of the game within this period of time, so they dare to be so presumptuous......

But just when Warner's people felt that Gu Xiaofan was too weak, they immediately saw the vigorous and resolute side of this young Chinese man.

Just looked at Gu Xiaofan, knocked on the table, let everyone's attention return to him, and began to announce:

"Okay, I'm announcing the new leadership team of the group now......" said as he looked at Neil Dao, who was full of excitement:

"The new CEO of the group is succeeded by Neil Warner." Arranging a Warner family member as a façade will help stabilize the hearts and minds of the group, and also allow those old employees to be relieved.

Neil burst into laughter and said thank you, this is something his father had always wanted to do, but he didn't expect him to do it.

Neil doesn't care how much power he has, as long as he can hang the title of CEO, he is very satisfied, and this straw bag personality is also the main reason why Gu Xiaofan is relieved to let him be a façade.

This decision was normal and satisfactory to the executives of Warner's various subsidiaries, but then came a sudden change.

"Then, I took over as the Executive Director of the Group, Mr. He Tiejun as the General Manager of the Group, Ms. Chen Keer as the Group Chief Financial Officer, and Mr. Hasen as the Head of Human Resources......"

Gu Xiaofan continued to announce the surprising decision:

"From now on, we are reorganizing the group into five divisions, each of which will have its own chairman and chief executive officer, who will be directly accountable to the board of directors of the head office.

Mr. Cao Guowei is the chairman of the interactive entertainment network department, Mr. Wang Jianlin is the chairman of the publishing and cinema department, Mr. Han Sanpin is the chairman of the film entertainment department, Mr. Chen Yongqi is the chairman of the TV and news department, and Mr. Ren Zhengfei is the chairman of the music and mobile phone department......"

In the midst of everyone's open mouths and consternation, after Gu Xiaofan announced the change of Time Warner's leadership one by one, the entire leadership of Time Warner has taken on a new look, and all of them have been completely taken over by Chinese forces.

Then Gu Xiaofan looked at Hasen and made a gesture of "please", signaling that it was time for him, the new personnel director, to speak, and the "Eagle Eye", which had been suppressed, seemed to have been ready to go for a long time, sweeping everyone with a sharp gaze, and announcing the transfer of people from various subsidiaries one by one.

"Justin Walker, the general manager, was transferred to TNT as general manager, and Mike Bligh, the former general manager of TNT, was transferred to HBO ......"

"Howard, editor-in-chief of Fortune magazine, transferred to Sports Illustrated as ......"

As Hasson read out, the management of each subsidiary seemed to be caught off guard, because almost every one of them heard that he had been transferred to a different position.

He Tiejun listened to the side and smiled at Gu Xiaofan in a low voice:

"Xiaofan, this 'Eagle Eye' you can find, he is indeed a good vision, he is really a rare talent, our group of people have a limited understanding of the Warner Group, I thought that the group would be scattered at the beginning, but I didn't expect him to place our people in various subsidiaries, and break up the original people, and do not destroy the structure and personnel composition of the original company, it is really orderly......

You see, he did not change the deputy editor-in-chief of Time Magazine and Celebrity Weekly, but swapped all the editors-in-chief, so that each subsidiary could not form a small team, which is a strategy for our Ministry of Telecommunications to switch the CEOs of China Mobile and China Unicom every few years...... Clever. ”

Gu Xiaofan also nodded, this method sounds very simple, but after all, the business of each subsidiary is different, and if he wants to transfer suitable people to the position he is good at, this is also a science, if there is no Hasen, a person who understands the group, they will never be able to do it.

After the entire Time Warner personnel structure is adjusted, even if there is a "nail" left by Abel Warner, it will not play a role.

Now is the time to lead the entire era of Warner's forward, Gu Xiaofan took a deep breath, looked at the frightened or suspicious faces in front of him, and knew in his heart that after the turmoil at this time, the most lacking confidence in Warner was to regroup, and he needed to make some achievements to make Warner regain the cohesion it should have.

Time Warner's business is mainly divided into five major areas: film, television, news media, music, and online entertainment.

Although he assigned all his duties to Wang Jianlin and others, the key projects were still handled by themselves.

First of all, let's start with the TV aspect he is best at, he turned to He Tiejun and said:

"Manager He, you were best at the TV business when you were in the studio, and you were responsible for catching CW TV during this time, and during this time, we mainly promoted a TV series "House of Cards".

The executives of CW TV found that they had an extra document in front of them, and when they opened it, they saw that it was a TV series called "House of Cards", and after only a few glances, several people looked at each other, and there was a deep disappointment in their eyes.

CW has always been based on youth and magic dramas, and after losing the two pillars of "Gossip Girl" and "Evil Force", it actually promoted a political drama? That's a far cry from HBO's fantasy epic Game of Thrones......

After Gu Xiaofan finished assigning the tasks of each company, he was just about to end the meeting, when he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten something, and tapped his finger on the table and said:

"By the way, I almost forgot, there is another little thing that I forgot to announce, starting today, the 'Time Warner' company officially changed its name to 'Black Feather Warner', and that's it, the meeting was dismissed."

Gu Xiaofan got up and left, and the entire conference hall was silent......
