454 Pour cold water

It is still the conference room where Liu Anran came to mobilize last time, but the number of people in this conference room is much smaller than last time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is the main venue of today's all-hands meeting, and the rest of the staff will watch it in the branch venue through live broadcast, after all, MGM now has 1,400 employees.

"Everyone should be familiar with me." Sitting in the seat, Liu Anran nodded at everyone and said directly.

"This is my third time at MGM. For the first time, it was my film release. The second is to mobilize shareholders and management. This time, I will meet you as the owner of MGM. ”

"You've probably heard a lot about me lately. 'Arrogant madman' and 'arrogant outsider', these are the two evaluations I see the most. ”

"Personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Without ambition, how can the company grow and grow. Just like MGM in the past, how long can you live by only keeping the glory of the past? ”

"The last time I came here, I came up with two goals. The number of Oscars exceeded 200, and the company's market value exceeded $20 billion. Don't think I'm lying, that's what we're aiming for. ”

When he said this, Liu Anran's expression became serious.

"I was given an impromptu notice of this meeting today, and it was imposed on me by Edward. He told me that there are a lot of employees who are worried about their future and they don't see opportunities for development. Liu Anran continued.

"I don't know why anyone thinks this way, but I can tell you that those who think this way are wrong in your own perception."

"Maybe you want a consortium with more financial power to take MGM, like Sony, Viacom, and Disney. But have you ever wondered what would be the first thing they would do if they took over MGM? That's layoffs. They don't waste their energy here, and they have their eyes on MGM's library. ”

"Maybe you're used to living like this, and you don't have higher expectations for the future. Here, I can tell you that if you keep thinking like this, I will welcome you to leave. I don't need such people in my company, I need ambitious management and employees. ”

"Dream Media used to be a small company with a pitiful amount of registered capital, and it can be said that it has just met the most basic requirements. But if you look at what kind of company Dream Media is now, in terms of these films alone, compared with the profits obtained by the so-called large companies, they are not worse than them, right? ”

"Because we are ambitious, every film we make has high goals. Maybe we couldn't reach it, but we fought for it. And our expectations for the film are not just utopian, we will carefully argue. We ambitious megalomaniacs are lucky that every film has been a success. ”

"We also have big ambitions for MGM. We're crazy, we're megalomaniacs, and our goal is to break through Double 200. I can also be very responsible to tell you that this is just our first small goal, and our ultimate goal is to bring MGM back to the top of Hollywood. ”

"Some people have experienced MGM's glory days, some people haven't. I can give you a chance to taste that splendor again. But I want to ask you, do you have the qualifications? ”

"We're going to have a lot of films going on in the near future, so the first problem we're facing is the shortage of staff. When I take over MGM, I will not only not lay off employees, but will also hire a large number of film and television production staff to enrich our production and distribution departments. ”

"But that doesn't mean that all of you in front of me or you sitting in the breakout room will be able to stay at MGM. Who is eligible to stay, this is not a question for me to consider, but for yourselves. You can't devote yourself wholeheartedly to the development of MGM, do you still have that qualification? ”

"From my personal point of view, I don't think this meeting is necessary at all. But Edward and I solemnly ordered that I, who had no position at MGM for the time being, should also be at his disposal. ”

"After the company is back in operation, the corresponding assessment system will be added. For those who think they can make a living here, you can settle your salary with the company in advance. You can also rest assured that I will not give me a small severance pay, and I will not let the union come to me for trouble. ”

"MGM in my heart will be an ambitious team, and everyone will strive to recreate the glory of MGM. In the future, the company will change a lot, and there will be many opportunities for everyone. Everyone can find their right place, and if you can't find it, it's because you haven't worked hard enough. ”

"Okay, that's all for today. Maybe there are a lot of people who are also disgusted by my identity, but I don't care. In order to develop MGM better, I don't care what anyone thinks of me. ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Anran turned off the microphone and got up and left directly.

Edward was a little anxious, waved his hand to the management present, and then ran out after Liu Anran.

"Andy, Andy, you're going to worry a lot of people if you say that." Edward said anxiously.

His original intention was to let Liu Anran say some encouraging words to let everyone maintain confidence in the future, but today Liu Anran has been pouring cold water on him when he says so much. He is worried that he will receive a lot of resignation letters tomorrow, not only for those junior employees, but also for these management.

"It doesn't matter, if MGM is a patient, it's time for surgery." Liu Anran patted Edward's shoulder and said.

"I know what you're worried about, but for MGM, which is now scattered, do you think it's useful to just show everyone what the future holds?"

"MGM's failure is not only a failure of decision-making at the top, but also a failure of these managers and grassroots employees. In order for this battleship to continue sailing on the seas, some aging parts will have to be replaced sooner or later. It's better to replace it now than to operate it urgently at sea. ”

If you are seriously ill, you have to take drastic medicine, and he just wants to break MGM's inherent concept, don't always think about the value of the film library, and think that with this, you can continue to develop without worry.

Isn't this the idea of the future Sony consortium, and what will be the result? What awaits MGM is still bankruptcy.
