Chapter One Thousand and Ninety-Three: A New Wave of Mergers in Hollywood Unfolds

I returned to the hotel early, took a pleasant shower, changed into casual clothes, poured myself a glass of wine, and gave it away, standing on the balcony and looking outside, the Beverly Mountains at night were blown by the sea breeze, very cool, the temperature was pleasant, Lin Xiaotian's heart was really very comfortable, I haven't been so relaxed and quiet for a long time, I don't need to go to the world tomorrow, if Sid Scheienberg can't handle it, then I really need to consider the president candidate.

Early this morning, the employees of the global have arrived at the company early, yesterday the big boss came to have a meeting with the company's senior management, the news was very bad, the big boss was very dissatisfied with the current situation of the world, and the president Sid Scheienberg had a meeting for an afternoon, according to the grapevine, the president came out of the chairman's office, his face was dark, it can be seen that the two people were not happy to talk.

Sure enough, a news reached the ears of the employees, Will of the TV drama production department was called to the office by the president early in the morning, Universal is a film company, but the internal TV production department has the upper hand, this development is deformed in the eyes of everyone, and it seems that the turmoil in Universal is inevitable.

When President Sid Scheienberg and Will talked, the company's human resources minister and administration minister all passed, and they held a meeting together, and it was not until ten o'clock that the meeting was over, and several people came out, but Will's face in the TV production department was not good-looking, and the president's face was as usual.

Soon a news came out that was both understandable and shocking, the TV production department officially separated from Universal, becoming a separate department, and relocated within a month, all employees belonging to the TV production department were automatically divided into the TV department, and Universal temporarily paid the salary of all employees in the TV production department for two months, and the relocation was completed within a month.

I understand that Universal is still a film company after all, and the shock is because of the chairman's decisiveness, and there is no delay at all when it is said, and it is also the president's own hand, with the prestige of the president, no one plays any tricks, the personnel department is in charge of personnel, and the administration department is responsible for the equipment of the TV production department, and everything began to be carried out in an orderly manner.

As a big Hollywood company, Universal's changes can't be concealed at all, and at least one film company is not so happy to split out the TV production department, this company is Warner, the president and the board of directors of Warner are very clear about Universal's strength, and the previous Universal was dragged down by the TV production department and did not deserve special attention, but now that Universal has split the TV department, it is different, Universal can be described as traveling lightly, and the whole focus has shifted to the movie, which can be described as Warner's fierce rival.

Warner is also holding a meeting internally, but the scope is very small, and the chairman and the president are discussing, "How can Sid Scheinberg be so bold this time and dare to split the TV production department, this is not like his handiwork, you must know that the only thing that Universal can handle now is the TV production department, how dare he move the TV production department, is he not afraid of causing dissatisfaction among employees?" Warner said with a frown.

"I know this, yesterday, the one from Wall Street, the parent company of Universal, came to Universal, and held a plenary meeting in the morning, I heard that the meeting was very intense, and in the afternoon the big man had an afternoon meeting with West de Shanenberg, I think this is the decision of the person, not West Shanenberg, he has more than enough, not enough development, and does not have the courage, but that person can still tolerate West Shaneenberg, this is what I didn't expect" President Clay said with a serious face, which solved the doubts in the president's heart.

But before Jack Warner could breathe a sigh of relief, Clay continued, "There is also news, the cinema that Universal is cooperating with Ranke Films in the United Kingdom has agreed to Ranke Films' request to withdraw its investment, and has been notified to come over to handle it, so it can be seen that the one on Wall Street has allocated new funds to Universal" Clay said jealously, they are all part-time workers, who doesn't want to have a generous and rich boss, but the boss of Universal's parent company Umbrella is such a one, and it is no secret that the president of the umbrella is generous. But it is a thing that everyone knows, at least at present, the umbrella company issues annual bonuses, and this alone, I don't know how many elite people have been attracted to jump ship, all want high income, then the umbrella is a good place to go.

Jack Warner pouted, no way, there is no way to compare with the umbrella, several major Hollywood film companies have the shadow of big Wall Street companies behind them, film companies are the toys of these big people, and he knows very well the status of umbrella companies on Wall Street, this is really not an enviable thing, but Universal has a new capital injection, so Warner's negotiations with Times Company should also be on the agenda, otherwise, it will inevitably be swallowed up in the future, which Jack Warner sees very clearly.

"Inform the people of the times, let's start secret contact and negotiation," Jack Warner made a decision, at this time the film company is generally not happy, the small company is a little better, there is not such a big burden, but the big company can't stand it, staff salaries, equipment maintenance, etc., are a lot of investment, so in the off-season, the life of the big company is often more difficult than the small company.

Times Media Company and Warner were originally not going to start negotiating the merger until next year, according to the progress of the time, it took half a year to negotiate the merger plan, and a new Hollywood giant Times Warner officially appeared, and now Lin Xiaotian intervened in Hollywood, ahead of Warner's progress, and negotiated with Time Company in advance, and a new round of Hollywood merger wave unfolded, after Lin Xiaotian knew, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The crowds began to surge within Universal, several high-level executives of the TV production department began to leave, to find a new office space, and the rest of the employees were queuing up to the human resources department to register, everything began to proceed in an orderly manner, and the people in the film production department were excited, they thought that their time had come, and they would no longer have to run back and forth to ask for money and things for the sake of shooting a movie, Macoulson watched the TV department being split, to the point that there was no imaginary excitement, he knew his own things very well, Since the top management is determined to focus on film, the film production department in charge of him may inevitably change, and I am afraid that his position change is not far away.

Both lose, he and Will can be described as losers, or Sid Scheinberg's own hand, the chairman is powerful, borrowing the hand of Sid Scheinberg, single-handedly integrated the world, this hand is really clever, Sid Scheinberg has a huge reputation in the world, he will not mess with the basic practitioners under the hands, can ensure the normal operation of the world, coupled with the chairman's capital injection, there will definitely be no one to jump out to find trouble, turn over the hand for the clouds and cover the hand for the rain, the chairman is not a predator across Wall Street, This is much better than Sid Shaneinberg, and Mekelson sees it very thoroughly.

Rooney, the vice president of Ranke Films, walked out of Universal's office hall with a dreamy face, and Syd Shanenberg personally sent him to the door, things went smoothly and unthinkable, he arrived at Universal at noon, began to go through the procedures, and got a cash check for an investment of 17 million in the afternoon, Universal Studios Ranke Film Company invested a total of 17 million, and now it has taken back a lot of money, and when he came, the board of directors had authorized a reduction of 2 million dollars, and the company was satisfied with 15 million. Knowing that it would go so smoothly, Rooney felt as if he had missed something, and divestment did not seem to be the best decision.

Although the British Ranke Pictures is currently a little tight in funds, it is not to the point of forcing Universal to withdraw its investment, just because they are not optimistic about Universal, two years, Universal has not changed, there is no improvement in movies, and the production of TV series is thriving, which is not what Ranke wants to see, so with the willingness of the board of directors to ask for withdrawal, after the funds come back, Rank's life will be much better, but it has lost a small gold mine, and this Universal Studios has brought a lot of profits to UniversalOriginally, there was half of Rank's in it, but now, all of it belongs to Universal, or rather, it all belongs to the umbrella, and it is impossible to meddle in the studio, and the umbrella has no habit of sharing.

Universal's change is not over, the TV production part is dismantled, just two days later, another news came out, the Universal Studios under construction completely belongs to Universal, the chairman injected new funds into Universal, approved the withdrawal of the British side, this news is good news for Universal's employees, that is, the head office has not given up on Universal, Universal will usher in a new life, people who originally wanted to change jobs have quieted down again, since the company has a future, then there is no reason for them to jump ship.

In just one week, the TV production department has found a new station, and started to decorate, a simple decoration can be done for half a month, and then you can move over, Will is both happy and worried for a while, happy that he is independent, and is completely responsible for a company, worried about whether he can manage this new company, Universal only pays the salary of two months of employees in the TV production department, and it doesn't matter later, you must know that there are a lot of people in the TV production department, and the salary of these people is not a small number, What should I do, thinking about it, Will thought of Lin Xiaotian, he must get the support of the headquarters, otherwise he will not be able to play anything.
