Chapter 289: DreamWorks' Development Plan
readx;
To be honest, hearing Jiang Zhiqiang's words, Li Mingbao was indeed moved. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info know that whoever says this comes out of his mouth will have a very different effect. If these words came out of Li Mingbao's mouth, although this was for the development of DreamWorks, it would also leave people with a feeling of indifference, no matter how tactful Li Mingbao was, there would be such traces.
And Jiang Zhiqiang's heart will have a thorn in it, maybe it doesn't matter if it's a day or two, but after many years, the feeling will definitely be different. Because according to Li Mingbao's plan, DreamWorks must at least develop into a large Hollywood film company, with assets of more than one billion dollars.
Such a company is not very conspicuous in Hollywood, but if it is placed in Hong Kong, it is definitely a super company, and with the weak environment in Hong Kong, it is difficult to achieve such a height in industry. Even if Li Mingbao's joint cinema chain wants to have such value, it is unlikely.
Although the film industry is profitable, the total market is only so big, but you want to put the company above the total market, which is absolutely unscientific. The local disk will never reach that height. Therefore, if you really want to talk about it, in terms of control, United Cinemas is naturally more promising than DreamWorks, because there are many places that this company can control, and the industries that are actually affected will not be lower than DreamWorks, but higher.
However, the congenital deficiencies have made United Cinemas have control, but no asset ability. In Hong Kong alone, if you want to achieve a scale worth 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, you can't do it at all.
DreamWorks is different, if you want to achieve a scale of one billion dollars, under a market like Hollywood, it will definitely not be too difficult, and even as long as Li Mingbao puts the film rights of one or two series in this company, it will not be difficult to reach the scale of one billion dollars at all. Perhaps just a Resident Evil can solve this problem completely.
Although in terms of control, it cannot be compared with United Cinemas at all, but in terms of funding scale, United Cinemas is not as promising as DreamWorks. In such a company, even if there is no person with that ability, he will try his best to sit in this position, let alone a person like Jiang Zhiqiang, who is the general manager of the company, if he wants to sit in this position, it is not difficult at all, unless Li Mingbao is forced to do so.
But if Jiang Zhiqiang sat in this position, the expansion of DreamWorks might not be so smooth, so Li Mingbao wanted Jiang Zhiqiang to move down. But this must not be said explicitly. And now it's okay, Jiang Zhiqiang opened his mouth, which can be regarded as leaving a room for maneuver for everyone, Li Mingbao will not be entangled, and Jiang Zhiqiang will not be coerced by Li Mingbao, both sides have face, which is definitely a happy thing.
But after Jiang Zhiqiang spoke, Li Mingbao couldn't agree immediately, which gave people the feeling that it was not advisable to unload the mill and kill the donkey. So I still have to save it, for the sake of both sides, although in fact both sides understand that this is just a scene. But if you don't say it, it's easy to go wrong and have problems.
"Brother Qiang, I know your ability, since you can do so well in distribution, there will definitely be no problem in terms of management. As for what you said about changing someone, I don't agree. As the veteran of the company, if you don't do this position, who can do it? Li Mingbao pretended to be dissatisfied and said.
Hearing Li Mingbao's words, Jiang Zhiqiang's heart was a little shaken. Who Nima wants to change from general manager to other manager? Especially in a company like DreamWorks, as long as the boss has a good idea and wants to expante, there is no problem at all. At that time, I will be able to become the general manager of a big film company, and I am a little excited to think about it.
But Jiang Zhiqiang's own family also knows his own family affairs, and he is really not suitable to be the general manager, otherwise his brothers would not be managing the cinema at home, and he is running films outside. The family can't do the business by himself, let alone a big company like DreamWorks, if he does it, he will definitely not be able to develop and grow DreamWorks, and even miss the golden time of DreamWorks.
Therefore, Jiang Zhiqiang was only shaken for a while, and then quickly corrected his attitude. After choosing between the two roads of scenery, desolation, and grievance, and then a smooth road, Jiang Zhiqiang soon chose the latter. Even if you have seen the market, you may have had other ideas because of the title in the past, but now after really doing the facts, you understand that the title is not the most important, the most important thing is the actual power.
It's like Twentieth Century Fox, as their distribution manager, they are more imposing than the general managers of other major Hollywood studios. Even if DreamWorks can't reach that height in the future, as long as it can become a large film company, then the distribution manager of DreamWorks can also contempt the general manager and even the boss of other small and medium-sized film companies in Hollywood.
In fact, if this matter is put on the officials of the mainland, they can think very openly, if you use the term of the official position, then the current dream factory is equivalent to a county-level position, even if you sit on the secretary of the county party committee, it is only at the department level.
But if DreamWorks starts to develop vigorously, even if it becomes a second-in-command, it is equivalent to a promotion. As long as DreamWorks develops to the scale of a large film company, the administrative level of this company is the main hall level, and the second-in-command, even if it is not the main hall level, can also be the deputy department level.
With such an adjustment, if the officials on the mainland are changed, they will definitely be overjoyed, and there will be no second thought. But Hong Kong doesn't pay much attention to it. The boss is used to it, even if it is the boss of a small company, the sense of superiority is not ordinary. Let them be the second-in-command, then it is clear that they will be given a knife, and they will naturally be unhappy.
So Jiang Zhiqiang's hesitation is also normal. But Jiang Zhiqiang has been exercising in Hollywood for so long, and he can be regarded as having opened his eyes, so he naturally understands how big the gap between the second-in-command of a large company and the first-in-command of a small company is. So after being unwilling, I still honestly accept this reality.
Since he has accepted the reality, Jiang Zhiqiang will not take seriously what Li Mingbao said: "Ah Bao, I understand all these things you said, but I also understand that I am indeed not that piece of material, and putting it in the position of general manager is not a good thing for you or me." Although I can also hone it the day after tomorrow, it will take time. What we lack in DreamWorks right now is time.
Instead of letting me hone in on something so big, it's better to find someone who knows how to do it right away and expand DreamWorks. It's good for you and good for me. I know your intentions, but when it comes to business, you must not be emotional, so that there will be no other benefits except for our own losses.
I've decided that since DreamWorks is going to change, then I'm going to be the manager of the distribution department, or I'm going to do my old job, and I'll leave the business to the insiders. I can't ruin the future of DreamWorks, that would do no good. It is very difficult for us Hong Kong people to gain a foothold in Hollywood. With such a good foundation as DreamWorks now, I can't just abandon it for my own selfish interests.
My position will not be more important than the future of DreamWorks. So Ah Leopard, if you want to change, the first thing to change is to start with me and find a suitable person. On the Hollywood side, there are many people with such ability, as long as you pick a few suitable people, you can immediately get the framework of DreamWorks out. ”
Jiang Zhiqiang's words were loud, anyway, Li Mingbao didn't see any dissatisfaction with Jiang Zhiqiang. And Jiang Zhiqiang has said this part, if Li Mingbao persuades him again, maybe Jiang Zhiqiang will have other ideas, if he really wants to do that, he will be embarrassed.
So Li Mingbao also said along the way: "Since Brother Qiang, you have said so, I won't say more." If DreamWorks has the opportunity to go public in the future, you will definitely have a share of the original shares, and I understand that you have made such a big sacrifice for the future of DreamWorks. And although I am young, I also know what benevolence and righteousness are, since Brother Qiang, you are good to me, I will naturally take it to heart, no matter what scale DreamWorks develops in the future, I have a share of the credit, and you also have a share. ”
Hearing Li Mingbao's words, Jiang Zhiqiang knew that he had made the right bet. I get more rewards than I imagined! What is this equivalent to? This is equivalent to working for Li Mingbao in the future, and in the future, he will also be the boss in DreamWorks, and because of his own knowledge, as long as Li Mingbao develops, he will not stop, and because of his own choice, he will go to a new world.
"Ah Leopard, don't worry, I will work hard and be worthy of what you gave me. Since you said that you want to change the direction of DreamWorks, I don't think it's too late, starting tomorrow, we will go to the headhunters and choose a good general manager for us, so that he can lead DreamWorks to new glory. Jiang Zhiqiang said excitedly.
"This thing must be done, not only to choose a ready-made general manager, DreamWorks also needs to cultivate its own talents, this time I came here, is to find some graduates of Harvard Business School, their ability is absolutely there, just need to hone. Now that the company has developed to such an extent, not only does DreamWorks need new people, but the industry in Hong Kong also needs the support of knowledgeable people.
Although I have achieved the current level of the industry, many times it is by luck, and if you want to have the strength that we are in the same position as we are now, you need to have a complete plan. These things must be professional, and the people at Harvard Business School will definitely be able to meet our needs. Li Mingbao said at the end...
