Chapter 291: Fatal Weakness
readx;
That night, Iron Dragon drove his newly purchased new car to Turner's house, where Michael and Turner were waiting for him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Tielong is actually very anxious, if you want to do it, this time is the most appropriate. According to his speculation, Xiao Ran must have planned to attack the six major companies, otherwise Wei Dongling would not need to come now at all.
Michael and Turner greeted them warmly, smiling like dragons, like friends they hadn't seen in years. It's just that the three of them know very well how fake each other's smiles are, and what exists is just a relationship between using each other.
After each sat down, Tie Long, who had become a lot more proficient in English, looked at the two entertainment tycoons who could make the Hollywood film industry tremble by stomping their feet: "I think, the two of you must have thought it through, I don't know what you mean?" ”
"I don't think the price is an issue." Turner's smile can even win the trust of strangers, but it's a pity that Tielong doesn't eat this: "The question is, whether the weakness you give can meet our requirements!" ”
"We're going to use other payment methods...... "Michael smiled slyly, and he realized that he was really smart: "You still have a few scripts in your hand, and the company paid for them." Perhaps, give you another chance to direct, so that you can achieve the effect of payment! ”
Tielong does not object to such an approach, and even welcomes it very much, as long as the script can become a hit movie, then he will have more capital. This is at least better than working slowly, and most importantly, in this way, the net worth of the two billionaires is not lost.
"In that case, I think it's time to tell you!" Tie Long's eyes narrowed together with a smile, his tone suddenly became extremely vicious, and he stretched out his hand and slashed: "Xiao Ran's most fatal heel lies in Wei Dongling!" ”
"Wei Dongling?" Turner and Michael were stunned at the same time, if they weren't impressed by the Phantom, they really didn't know who Wei Dongling was. But even so, he only knew that Wei Dongling was the CEO of the Phantom.
This can't be blamed on them, Wei Dongling is certainly very well-known in Asia, but not so well in Europe and the United States. Especially in the United States, this is the first time to come here on official business, and it is inevitable that people will not be taken seriously. The most important thing is that Xiao Ran is the star of the Phantom, and Wei Dongling's light is hidden under it.
Moreover, since the reorganization, Wei Dongling does not need to be busy running around, he only needs to make instructions in the office for some acquisition plans and development plans, etc., and his ability is naturally not easy to show.
Michael couldn't help but ask the smug Iron Dragon: "You mean Wei Dongling, the CEO of the Phantom?" He's just a CEO, not as important as you might think! ”
Tie Long's mood was simply extremely high, he had never been happier than today. The feeling of a secret that has been hidden in my heart for so long is suddenly revealed, and it is absolutely refreshing, very relaxing, and this is still for the opponent.
Seeing Michael ask, Tie Long suddenly stood up and laughed, waved his arms, looked at the two of them with a hideous expression, and said, "You haven't fought with Xiao Ran, of course you don't know." Xiao Ran is very terrifying, but without Wei Dongling's cooperation and execution, Xiao Ran is a tiger without claws, and there is no point in doing anything! ”
However, the old fox Turner thought for a long time, he felt that what Tielong said had a certain amount of truth, although he didn't know what Wei Dongling had done in the past, but he realized at this moment that no matter who he was, he could be worthy of being appointed as CEO by Xiao Ran, it was definitely not a simple person.
Tie Long sneered and glanced at the two surprised old guys, and said hatefully: "Wei Dongling, this guy, has been the administrative general manager since the Phantom was founded!" As the Phantom gets bigger and bigger, he has always been the actual manager of the Phantom, carefully executing every strategy of Xiao Ran! ”
When Tielong said this, Turner and Michael glanced at each other, their eyes were full of frustration, they knew that they had indeed ignored Wei Dongling, after all, a Xiao Ran who could write, direct, and act was too dazzling.
It didn't even take Tielong to continue to explain, they knew that they had been so wrong before. The Phantom has never relied entirely on Xiao Ran, and they know it well, especially Michael, who is the CEO of Disney.
When a company achieves a certain level, there will be a bottleneck, and the manager will find it difficult to continue. And the phantom has gone from assets of less than one million Hong Kong dollars to assets of two or three hundred billion US dollars, in this process of qualitative change, Wei Dongling has always been able to sit firmly in the position of the executor and keep the phantom in order, which is absolutely amazing.
After all, the Phantom has to go through at least three bottlenecks in this process, and now it seems that all of them have been passed safely, which is definitely not something that ordinary CEOs can do. Michael even doubted that he could do it, even though the comparison was really frustrating to him.
"The Phantom has experienced at least three very important corporate restructuring and management restructurings, and according to my understanding, Xiao Ran has not intervened in each reorganization, and has not even put forward his opinions!" Seeing that the expressions of the two gradually became solemn, Tie Long could no longer hide his pride: "This means that every reorganization is completely dependent on Wei Dongling!" ”
And after each reorganization, the Phantom was able to get rid of the old management style and successfully transform into a more efficient and personal style. Every time Phantom reorganizes, almost always after a large number of acquisitions, in order to integrate the management system and financial problems of each subsidiary, the grasp of this limit state is very precise. Among them, what role Wei Dongling played, I think you should be able to understand! ”
"Especially the large-scale restructuring two or three years ago, which allowed the Phantom to smoothly transform from a fragmented enterprise controlling multiple companies to a concentrated seven flagship companies!" In order to collect information about Wei Dongling and Xiao Ran, and even analyze and research, Tie Long didn't know how much effort he had spent on it.
Still, he felt he was well worth it. Because he saw his own way in Xiao Ran's history, in his data analysis, Xiao Ran ostensibly made his fortune by making movies, but in fact, that stock really gave Xiao Ran the opportunity to take off. With this funding, the Phantom expanded rapidly, and with an excellent eye, he obtained karaoke, which provided extremely important funds for the Phantom's expansion at that time.
Although he also saw Xiao Ran's accurate investment in stocks, including the few investments that shocked global financiers, such as Dell, Microsoft and Cisco, these companies alone have added at least $50 billion to the fortune of Phantom and Xiao Ran. And Xiao Ran's initial total investment was only about 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, even if you count the additional capital increase of billions in order to ensure the amount of shareholdings, it is definitely a very cost-effective deal.
However, he believes that Xiao Ran's most successful place is definitely not here, after all, this is a long-term investment. So, Xiao Ran's accurate investment in the stock market and karaoke and movies is the real key.
Since he correctly realized this, he gradually realized that he would never be able to do like Xiao Ran, at least he lacked one of Xiao Ran's best skills - vision!
That's right, it's indeed vision, Tielong knows very well that he doesn't have that kind of vision, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to follow Jiahe and then choose to follow Hongguo, and he has repeatedly failed. However, no vision doesn't mean that he can't do it, he believes in his talent, what Xiao Ran can do in the movie, he can do it too.
It's just that, thinking of this, he can't help but start to doubt. This time he defected to Warner and Disney, will he fail again because of the Phantom? He fiercely expelled this ominous thought, and reined in a smug expression and said in a deep voice: "The seven flagship companies span various industries, and they have all become giants, with a total market value of more than 300 billion US dollars!" ”
In fact, Tie Long still had a sentence in his stomach that he hadn't spoken, and he had discovered a big secret of the Phantom in the industry, and Xiao Ran had invested in high-tech products such as the Internet and electronics before. Although it is not yet clear what benefits telecommunications can bring to the Phantom's core entertainment and media industry, according to the Internet and media and other seemingly unrelated industries, today it has achieved the industrial chain of the Phantom Empire's film industry. With his understanding of Xiao Ran, he absolutely believes that telecommunications and electronics will also become the comprehensive effect products of Phantom's core industries in the future.
He was right, but not entirely right. The reason why the Phantom has developed very violently across industries in recent years is mainly because the Phantom is too large. In this way, the phantom will not be able to spin in place, and if you want to develop further, you must cross industries in some aspects.
"Wait a minute...... Michael knew Wei Dongling's important surname, but he still had doubts: "After the reorganization, Wei Dongling is only the CEO of Phantom, and the other six flagship companies have their own CEOs and CEOs." In this way, his important surname for the Phantom must not be as important as before! ”
Turner had the same question, knowing that the Phantom holds the vast majority of the shares in the other six flagship companies, such as Scholar Media, where the Phantom owns 90 percent. In Hutchison, which has the lowest holding ratio, Phantom is also as high as 30%, making it the largest shareholder.
He also knew that in this way, the Phantom had every right to make any decision to the six flagships, at least in a company that was absolutely controlled. However, he didn't think that the phantom was so big, and Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling would still meddle in it.
As for the location of the joints, Tielong, who simply eats research Xiao Ran as a meal, is even more clear, and only after taking a sip of the drink did he explain: "You may not have noticed that the CEOs or CEOs in the six flagships are all young people in their thirties, and they are all elites that the Phantom has cultivated at all costs. ”
Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling didn't realize that because of the great success and prestige they had achieved, the heads of the six flagships depended on them, and they had to ask for instructions on many decisions. According to all the information, the Tianxia Fund consulted Wei Dongling before deciding on the acquisition method! ”
Michael was deeply surprised: "Why didn't you ask Xiao Ran, but Wei Dongling?" ”
"Because Xiao Ran is responsible for strategic conception, and Wei Dongling is the one responsible for implementing these strategies!" Tie Long smiled, and smiled extremely heartily: "Moreover, because of the rapid growth of the Phantom, Wei Dongling does not need to specifically implement the strategic goals set by Xiao Ran. However, every strategy is in his hands and the characters are assigned in a very organized and efficient way! ”
"Besides, I think I can tell you something!" Tie Long looked at the two guys in front of him, and gradually developed some meaning of pointing out the world: "According to my information, every time before the phantom makes a big move, Xiao Ran will talk to Wei Dongling at least once. I think Xiao Ran is to adjust his strategy according to Wei Dongling's execution method! ”
Glancing at the two old guys, Tie Long waved his hand fiercely: "If it weren't for Wei Dongling's genius in talent and management, and without him executing Xiao Ran's strategy, what do you think would happen to the Phantom?" Although Wei Dongling was working hard to cultivate a successor, within three years, none of the seven flagships had the ability to take over and manage such a huge empire! ”
Tielong's analysis is already very obvious, and even moved the heads of the two major film companies. At least Turner and Michael are really moved, if Tielong's analysis is good, once Wei Dongling is lost, then the Phantom will at least fall into an inevitable management chaos!
This is definitely very exciting for them, and the biggest fear of every company is that the administration will fall into chaos, which will lead to poor management and eventually bankruptcy. And in the other place, they may not dare to start, because after doing it, the Phantom may not be able to see it go back and go out of business, after all, its foreign debt is not large.
However, now it is different, Xiao Ran is fighting with international speculators. According to intelligence, both sides have invested at least more than 100 billion US dollars in the Hong Kong market, which is a very scary figure. However, where did Xiao Ran get so much cash? This is certainly external debt.
Coupled with the previous $50 billion debt, it means that the Phantom already has hundreds of billions of foreign debts, and it is bound to be burdened with more in the future when it is entangled with international speculators. In this way, they only need to create a little internal chaos for the Phantom, and the bankruptcy and collapse of the Phantom Empire is predictable.
Turner and Michael were lost in thought, but the dragon was staring at them leisurely. When it comes to dealing with Xiao Ran, he may not be more nervous than these two, although he does hate Xiao Ran very much for destroying his rise twice. However, he knew better that these two old guys were even more nervous than he was.
The two of them thought about it for a while, and their expressions quickly calmed down, staring at Tie Long: "Then, you can tell me if there is any way to make Xiao Ran lose Wei Dongling!" ”
"I think I might be able to tell you something, maybe it's a big secret I've discovered!" Tie Long glanced at the two of them, and his face showed a look of pride, what he was going to say below might not even be known to the whole world: "Xiao Ran doesn't know anything about business!" ”
