Chapter 292: Fueling the Flames

Turner and Michael's surprised expressions were almost as if they had seen aliens with their own eyes, and they couldn't help but laugh wildly at the same time, and the mockery in them made the iron dragon's eyes once again flash with viciousness. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hahaha! Xiao Ran doesn't know anything about business! Both of them were laughing wildly, it was the funniest joke they had ever heard, and they dared to swear by their lives. It's hilarious that a person who doesn't understand business can create the world's largest fortune and start from scratch in ten years.

However, looking at Tie Long's very serious expression, they realized that this was not necessarily a joke, and gradually stopped laughing. Tie Long stepped on the expensive carpet in the room to vent his hatred, but he tried not to show that hatred: "In your investigation of Xiao Ran, is there any information that he personally executed any business?" ”

Turner and Michael lived up to the dragon's expectations and quickly started a memory search. What made them feel terrible was that in the past ten years, Xiao Ran had indeed no record of participating in business or specific business operations, at least not in their information.

"I think the two of them must have affirmed Wei Dongling's business genius, then, now we may be able to understand why Xiao Ran must talk to Wei Dongling and other professionals before every big move!" Tie Long's words were simply spit out word by word, and there was a hint of resentment in his expression: "The reason why Xiao Ran wants to do this is because he doesn't know anything about business, at least I think so." ”

Turner and Michael's faces changed dramatically, and if what Tielong said was true, it was absolutely unacceptable to them. A person who does not know how to run a business, but can create the world's greatest wealth, and can repeatedly beat all opponents in the mall, they really can't describe it in other words than genius.

"Yes, Xiao Ran is indeed good at business strategy, but this definitely does not mean that he knows how to do business. If he loses Wei Dongling, he will lose his own hands, and at that time, even if he has the brains, he will not have the hands that can cooperate to achieve the goal for him! In the last sentence, Tie Long said extremely categorically.

In fact, Tielong only suspected that Xiao Ran didn't understand business, after all, Xiao Ran's information did not show that this guy had studied in any business-related schools. Combined with other circumstances, he came to this very ludicrous conclusion, which, in fact, he himself did not believe very much. The reason why I brought it up was to give Turner and Michael more confidence.

Turner and Michael's thoughts are naturally not mentioned, and the Phantom Empire is a great threat to the existence of the six major Hollywood companies. Disney is the most miserable, phantom-controlled fantasy animation and Pixar have almost completely dominated animated films in recent years, especially the former.

Moreover, the Phantom has vigorously developed the theme park business in the past few years, building several theme parks in Asia and Europe, and is planning to enter the United States. Disney was hit by this, and last year's performance fell by at least 200 percent compared with five years ago, and Michael's position was about to be difficult to keep.

For Turner, he wasn't necessarily happy. Xiao Ran was a nightmare for them, and he couldn't even imagine that the TV network controlled by Universal, which was sent by Shuxiang to take care of, would soon occupy a certain position in the North American TV market with its rich experience and some unheard of programs. Moreover, the leading position of Warner Movies has been repeatedly knocked out of the throne in the past few years, causing the stock price to fall a lot.

Several other companies are even more bleak, not only can't fight the Phantom, but even often lose to the three major companies of Tianluo, Debao and Taixing. The old fox is the old fox, and both of them looked at Tielong silently: "Tell me, what do you think you should do?" ”

Tie Long didn't say anything, just waved his hand fiercely and slashed down, the meaning could not be clearer. Turner and Michael are still expressionless, they are both thinking about this possibility, such a thing cannot be set on fire, if the use of violence can be avoided, it is still worth considering: "Is there another way, such as poaching?" ”

As soon as Michael's words popped out of his mouth, he knew he was wrong, very wrong. Wei Dongling's net worth of tens of billions of dollars, what do they use to dig? Turner's assets are now far inferior to Wei Dongling, what are you digging for?

If it weren't for Michael's excellent face surname, Tielong would definitely burst into laughter, he felt that Michael must be used to digging people, so he said it in passing. With a faint sneer: "Wei Dongling and Xiao Ran have an excellent relationship, it is rumored that Xiao Ran wants to give Wei Dongling more equity, but Wei doesn't want it!" What to dig up? ”

I have to admit that this secretly sarcastic sentence hurt the old classmate very much. Turner secretly laughed and quickly turned his brain, he thought that this was really a bit of a mouse pulling a turtle, for Wei Dongling, he thought that maybe the only way was Tie Long's proposal!

Why don't you point the arrow at Xiao Ran? Xiao Ran is the richest man in the world, and if something happens to him, the sensation caused by him is absolutely unimaginable. However, Wei Dongling is relatively much worse...... However, he didn't think he needed to do it himself, and he didn't even want to call the shots. After only a moment's thought, the old and slippery fox found the substitute ghost, and his gaze flickered on the iron dragon.

Wei Dongling's mood was very happy, and he didn't realize that there was a conspiracy arrow pointing at him. This time, he could finally leave some things in the headquarters to Xiao Ran, and this kid couldn't help but feel good when he imagined Xiao Ran being burned out by work.

Unfortunately, one of Wei Dongling's two right-hand men stayed in Hong Kong to handle some work for him, and it seemed that his plan would not be achieved after all. However, Wei Dongling just thought about it, if Xiao Ran was really asked to deal with those things, he was willing to bet that the company would be in chaos within three days, which was why he wanted to leave an assistant.

Sometimes Wei Dongling often regrets that a guy like Xiao Ran who is good at strategy and no, a guy who is scheming and scheming, if he is proficient in business, he will definitely be a perfect business person. However, perhaps because of his talent in movies, Xiao Ran was robbed of his talent for specific business by God!

From 1986 to 1997, he and Xiao Ran had been fighting side by side for eleven years. In the past eleven years, Xiao Ran has experienced countless crises, big or small, and the phantom has experienced countless crises, and they have luckily struggled to come over with their joint efforts, and the bitterness of this is really unimaginable to outsiders.

He thought that he had indeed found a free space for himself as he had previously idealized, and let all his abilities be brought into play. Xiao Ran gave him enough space, he thought that at this point, he was very grateful to Xiao Ran, I am afraid that there is no board of directors of a large company in this world that can be as lenient as Phantom.

If Wei Dongling doesn't care about money at all, it is definitely a lie, money and identity have indeed brought him a lot of benefits and a very different sense of superiority, which is particularly obvious when he talks about investment with certain countries. But he definitely didn't see money as more important than anything else, which may have something to do with Xiao Ran and Fang Xiaoqiang. At least Fang Xiaoqiang and Xiao Ran both have such surnames, and sometimes they have to admit that surname infection exists.

He couldn't help but feel that in the past, he had gradually grown from a young man who couldn't find a satisfactory job and was always complaining to a person who held a lot of power in the business world today, and everything had changed too much. Looking back now, a lot of things are interesting.

Xiao Ran will retire soon, and he is the only person other than Lin Qingxia who knows Xiao Ran's idea. After so many years, he knew that Xiao Ran didn't like the life he was like now, especially when Xiao Ran's power had almost reached its peak, all of this seemed very boring.

Therefore, he agrees with Xiao Ran's retirement idea, and he himself wants to find an opportunity to retire and enjoy happiness. It's just that Xiao Ran can retreat, but he can't retreat for the time being, because the phantom has not yet found a suitable successor, and the two most suitable candidates now are Wei Dongling's two assistants, but Wei Dongling still feels that these two guys lack Xiao Ran's strategic things.

However, this is obviously also very helpless, and it is not easy to take charge of a super empire worth more than 300 billion US dollars. Fortunately, Xiao Ran didn't plan to really retire completely, but controlled everything remotely in a semi-retired attitude. He thought that as long as there were ten years, he would definitely be able to cultivate the right candidate, but in the end, he still didn't expect that more than ten years later, it would be Xiao Ling, a little girl who was regarded as a cute baby by everyone, who was in charge of the phantom.

Now, Xiao Ran is paving the way for retirement, as long as July 1 passes, everything is under control. In order to arrange and arrange all this, Xiao Ran and him have been preparing for two years, and this time they want to fight the world.

As long as this battle is fought, it will be able to establish the Phantom's well-deserved status as the entertainment media hegemon. And Wei Dongling himself confirmed that he would officially retire in five years, handing over the work to one of the two assistants.

Wei Dongling is now rushing to the United States with Xiao Ran's intentions, in order to deal a heavy blow to the six major companies and plant deeper seeds for the collapse of the North American film industry. Within ten years at most, this seed will be able to germinate and grow quickly under the control of the Phantom, until the American film industry collapses, and at that time, perhaps the desire of Hong Kong films to monopolize the world can be realized.

What needs to be done now? Wei Dongling pondered for a moment, and the most important thing Xiao Ran asked him to do was to raise the salary to 40 million US dollars again. He smiled slyly, in fact, it was obviously not difficult to do such a thing, but it was not suitable for the Phantom or Universal to do it.

The salary is high, but the income may not be high, so the end must be to compress the remuneration of other filmmakers. In addition to the high remuneration of famous filmmakers in Hollywood, the salaries of other ordinary actors and second- and third-rate actors are already very low, and they are completely on the extreme of the gap between the rich and the poor. If it continues to rise, it will collapse sooner or later.

This time, he just came to push the mountain and the water, because it is inconvenient for Universal to take action in this matter, otherwise others will definitely suspect the phantom's intentions. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to follow Xiao Ran's predetermined method to provoke disputes and let other companies take action for them.

Other local companies are less susceptible to such schemes, with the most powerful exploitation being Sony-controlled Colombia. After thinking about it for a while, Wei Dongling flipped through some of the films that Universal was preparing, and soon determined a drama that would start filming in the second half of the year.

It was an action drama, and Han Long was sure that this drama was promising, so it was determined to be a big production. However, the list of leading actors has not yet been selected. Wei Dongling thought for a while, and then looked at another information, in which there was a list of actors who planned to take over from other companies in the near future.

The most eye-catching name is Cruise, and Sony tried to ask him to act in a romance movie, and the price offered was 35 million, which is already the highest price at present. Wei Dongling asked the person sent by Han Long to assist him, "This Cruise, has he signed a contract with Sony?" ”

The answer was that not yet, and Cruise was just in talks with Colombia about the deal. Wei Dongling pondered for a moment, he was not familiar with this aspect of movies, before coming, Xiao Ran explained to him that what the industry was most afraid of was this kind of crab eating situation.

Just like a few years ago, Xiao Ran instructed Universal to raise Bruce's salary to 30 million, and if the first one to eat crabs appears, then other actors of the same grade will definitely ask for a price increase. Therefore, as long as it appears, it will be difficult to suppress it, what Wei Dongling needs to do is not to push it with all his might, but to use a little force to make this damn salary break through the original number, then the market will naturally increase the number.

Since you want to do it, it's better to let Sony be this substitute for the dead. Wei Dongling thought about it for a while, and soon decided to compete with Colombia for Cruise, and forced Colombia to increase the price by competing for it.

Cruise was very surprised, he didn't expect Universal to be willing to pay 36 million to ask him to make a film, which is a reward that breaks through the current highest market price. It's just that he is still a little hesitant, after all, Colombia is very sincere in talking to him, and this love scene is still tailor-made for him.

The producer sent by Universal was talking to Cruise, but in fact, after Xiao Ran joined Universal, he didn't think about changing the Hollywood system at all. In his opinion, instead of making the opponent better, it is better to let the opponent continue this system, so not only did he not bring the Hong Kong system over, but also continued to add fuel to the fire, using the star's salary too high as a reason to lower the remuneration of other actors and filmmakers. And all of these are the links that can make Hollywood step towards collapse.
