Chapter 414: The Company's Huge Vulnerability

readx;

Well, Li Mingbao sometimes speaks, which makes Deng Xia a little incomprehensible, and now what Li Mingbao says, this is the situation. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Deng Xia didn't understand anyway, why did Cameron join DreamWorks and get involved in the issue of TV stations, this is completely unrelated things, right? She Deng Xia is also a high-IQ talent, otherwise she would not have gnawed off part of the laws of the United States. But why didn't she understand what Li Mingbao said?

After Li Mingbao finished speaking, he saw Deng Xia's cute eyes, and immediately understood what he just said, but Deng Xia didn't understand it at all. For such a thing, Li Mingbao has no way to solve it, it is not a problem of IQ, but a problem of height.

Li Mingbao's consideration of many things is determined according to the changes in things a few years later, and in layman's terms, it is to take precautions. He used the method in a few years to plug the current loophole, if it weren't for the person who had too big a brain, it would be really not easy to understand what he meant. Therefore, many of Li Mingbao's methods usually do not require his subordinates to think too clearly, and direct implementation is the most in line with the principle of development. Because if the explanation is too detailed, others will treat him as an alternative, for what has not happened yet, or in a few years, more than ten years, Li Mingbao will start to prepare now, which can be understood by the real demon, and only the traverser will understand.

His subordinates will not be demons, nor will they be traversers. So Li Mingbao had a hard time explaining. Although Li Mingbao is the boss and likes to engage in dictatorship, some things that should be explained still need to be explained, otherwise he will be separated from his subordinates, and his work efficiency will not be improved at that time.

"Okay, let's make a hypothesis now, like we're going to get the nameless Cameron to DreamWorks now, so it doesn't seem like a big deal, right? But if "The Terminator" is a good box office movie and can create a new way of filming, will Cameron's value increase dramatically? ”

"If it's like what you said boss, Cameron's value will definitely increase a lot, and there will definitely not be a few people who want to find Cameron at that time, even if it's those giant companies, they won't mind giving Cameron a chance. Of course, it's more likely that those guys took a fancy to the copyright interests of the movie "Terminator", and then used the subsequent version to obtain more benefits. Deng Xia analyzed very calmly at this time.

"You're right, after Cameron's release of "The Terminator", his value will definitely increase greatly, but most of his added value lies in this movie, he himself, in fact, has limited development ability, in Hollywood, there are not no directors who are hits, but many directors who are hits have fallen like meteors. So at this time, Cameron's value will not really make those giant companies unscrupulous.

But if Cameron's second "Terminator" continues to be successful after it is released, then Cameron's value is enough to make those giant companies excited. And at that time, DreamWorks, which had a Cameron contract in hand, Deng Xia, what do you think will happen? Li Mingbao said meaningfully.

"With the strength of DreamWorks, it is completely impossible to be the opponent of Hollywood's movie giants at that time, maybe the first to attack DreamWorks at that time is Twentieth Century Fox, if we are willing to hand over Cameron, then maybe we will have a rich return, but in that way, not only will we not get Cameron, but the copyright of "Terminator" will not be in our hands, just like the boss of your "Home Alone", If the boss didn't wisely sell the European and American rights of this movie, DreamWorks wouldn't have been able to develop at all, and you, the boss, made the most correct decision at that time. Deng Xia still said calmly.

"Yes, from a business point of view, I made the right deal to get on the line of Twentieth Century Fox, and it made me stand firm in Hollywood, and it seemed like a good deal for us. But in fact, such a good deal is very depressing for me. Watching my child being sold by myself feels quite bad. Li Mingbao shook his head and said.

"So, the boss doesn't want Cameron to be the next you? That's why you're ready to vigorously develop the business in Hollywood, and then allow yourself to have a certain amount of self-protection in Hollywood, at least not completely relying on Twentieth Century Fox to protect it as it is now? Deng Xia continued to speak according to Li Mingbao's train of thought.

"Yes, that's what I mean, the old Chinese saying is good, if you are not of my race, your heart will be different. Don't look at the fact that we have a good relationship with Twentieth Century Fox now, and many things can be done properly with them, but this relationship is quite fragile. Twentieth Century Fox can protect us as well as destroy us, and the transition between the two depends on whether the interest in protection is greater or the interest in destruction is greater. Now we are in a fragile balance with them.

When we were in Hollywood before, we said that as long as DreamWorks reached a certain value, it could consider selling. There is nothing wrong with this, because my skin color has a congenital disadvantage in Hollywood, and this disadvantage is even more exaggerated than the disadvantage of black people. So no matter how big I develop in Hollywood, in the end, I still can't grasp the dominance, and even after I develop to a certain extent, the United States will naturally launch a sheep shearing action against me.

It is precisely because of this understanding that I have never intended to develop normally in Hollywood, I would rather make less money here in Hong Kong and seize the opportunity to be one of the people who make the rules, rather than make more money in Hollywood. Money to a certain extent, in fact, is just a number, and no matter how much money I make in Hollywood, I can't be the one who makes the rules, because I'm not white.

After understanding this, I knew that on the Hollywood side, I could only be a person who made a lot of money, and it was impossible to develop to a great extent, comparable to giant companies. But when Cameron called and said he wanted to join DreamWorks, I realized that I was too naïve about such things as making money. Li Mingbao said with a wry smile.

"What does the boss mean?" Deng Xia vaguely understood what Li Mingbao said about his naivety at this time.

Deng Xia could understand the meaning of his words, and Li Mingbao continued: "Yes, I did plan to make harmless money, get along with everyone, and then make a sum of money to return to Hong Kong or the mainland to develop, which looks very good." But in fact, the people in Hollywood can't let me withdraw my money so safely, because I don't have the power to protect so much money.

If we really want to develop according to my previous ideas, in the end, DreamWorks is fat, but I may not be able to make much money, because we have no ability to protect ourselves at all, and the fat and delicious lamb will make people like Twentieth Century Fox who protect our company greedy. Companies that can be bought for tens of millions of dollars, why should they buy them at normal prices? Relationships alone? Relationships have never been so valuable. ”

Originally, Li Mingbao was too familiar with this kind of thing of black eating black. There are not a few people in Hong Kong who do this, Li Mingbao was a gangster back then, and he did not miss the black hands, although it seems that they are all petty fights, but the business is also proficient. But when Li Mingbao was developing in Hollywood, he never thought of such a problem, and thought that his company could sell at a good price, and everything in Hollywood was a regular business.

But when Li Mingbao heard Cameron's call, he was suddenly shocked, Hollywood has never been a place of warmth, and those who want him to be the boss are so naïve, so in the end, his layout in Hollywood will definitely not be too good, although he will still make money, but the little money he earns is not enough for his own efforts. After that, he went to Taiwan again, and the people on the Taiwan Road gave him a vivid and vivid education lesson. If Li Mingbao continues to be naïve, he will really be an idiot.

If it weren't for Taiwan's lack of strength, this time it would have been completely decided on him. But among the giant companies on the Hollywood side, which one is not stronger than Li Mingbao? The things that are played are countless grades higher than here, especially MGM, one of the giants, all of his people completely use this company as a means to circle money, every time MGM goes bankrupt, his boss makes a profit, and the giant company is still sheared as wool by those capitalists, not to mention a small company like Li Mingbao's Dream Factory.

Completely pinning hope on the law, that is really a naïve idea, people like Li Mingbao who know the United States fairly well have made such a mistake, and almost became the United States, such a mistake is just without noticing, but now that he understands, Li Mingbao will definitely think about this issue in a different way of thinking.

In fact, such a big omission in this is something that should not have happened. But the fact is that it happened, and Li Mingbao's subordinates didn't see it at all, if Li Mingbao hadn't come to his senses, things would definitely have reached an uncontrollable level. In such a situation, Li Mingbao also understands that although he recruited a lot of talents in the United States before, the real quality is completely different from those old rivers and lakes. After this problem, Li Mingbao also plans to go to the United States and recruit a group of old rivers and lakes to sit in charge, although the old rivers and lakes may not be able to keep up with the development of the company in terms of thinking, but they can fill in many obvious loopholes in terms of experience. It's like Li Mingbao's wishful thinking selling dream factories before, after they knew the plan, they would definitely be able to see it immediately and give Li Mingbao reasonable advice.

Fortunately, Li Mingbao quickly noticed this problem, and naturally there will be no more problems in this regard in the future. But Li Mingbao also knows that he is a human being, not a god, and being able to perceive one problem does not mean that he can perceive many problems. Especially when the company is in the stage of rapid expansion, perhaps the company's loopholes are not the only one.
