Chapter 982 - Company Infighting (Part II)
When the company is big, it must talk about the rules and abide by the rules, but when the company just started, it must not follow the rules, otherwise it will never be able to develop.
When Kirk was young, he was also an unruly person, so he founded the MGM Casino, and also stole other people's LOGOS to raise the reputation of his casino, and even fought a lawsuit with MGM Films.
Time has passed, and Kirk has become the owner of MGM Films, and he has long since stopped doing those things that are not on the stage. But he didn't expect that the famous China Ming, after becoming famous, would be keen to play those unsightly things like planting and framing.
…………
Robert Gang, on behalf of the 'Screen Fund' and several other foundations, proposed that the board of directors remove Jill from his position as general manager, but was not only brutally rejected by Sun Ziming, the chairman who is not the controlling party, but also threatened to resign. It doesn't matter, they expected it for a long time, such a big business, if the opponent didn't react, it would be a strange thing. Robert they just waited for Sun Ziming to compromise with them, and everyone sat down to talk about the plan, otherwise the scandal of the infighting in the light and shadow company would spread, and the reputation of the great China Ming would not be good. That guy, donating a lot of money and treating his subordinates well, doesn't he just want a good reputation?
But what they didn't expect was that Jill called early the next morning and voluntarily resigned from Robert, the representative of the controlling party, followed by Sun Ziming, Chris Columbus, James Cameron, ....... In the end, a huge light and shadow company, by the time Robert and the others arrived, only Monica at the front desk was left at her post, and there were hundreds of reporters outside.
"Mr. Robert, you're finally here, here's the key to the company, here's my letter of resignation. Goodbye and good luck! ”
In the past ten years, Monica, who has changed from a fair girl to a plump young woman, put a large bunch of keys at the front desk, and happily compared the middle finger to several people who were like ashes, picked up her Charneer Kun bag and left.
It's over, it's over, Robert stood for a moment, and all that came to his mind was 'it's over'. At the beginning, CAA (Innovative Artist Agency) was split overnight because of its opposition to that bastard, and now it's their turn! That bastard is ruthless, I'd rather let the light and shadow be discredited than let a little step go!
It's really over, how can such a big thing be hidden from the all-pervasive reporters, not to mention that this is a paparazzi-filled Hollywood? Almost when Robert heard Sun Ziming's resignation phone notice, the door of the company was blocked by the reporters who heard the news, and now all the people in the company have resigned, leaving only these unlucky people to be watched and besieged by reporters.
"Miss, can you tell us, what's going on?"
Monica, who was blocked by reporters, has never been interviewed, but she has seen a lot of this kind of scene, not to mention that someone helped her write a script, and she did not hide her anger and said: "The previous light and shadow was a great company, and it belongs to the filmmaker's own company!"
Those greedy, despicable and shameless people, after stealing the controlling stake in the company, will remove Miss Jill from her position, and even force our boss to resign. Our answer is - no, we only follow our great bosses, and will never work for those vile and shameless villains!"
What the? Someone actually wants to force the great China Ming to resign?
Journalists' brains are all messed up, God, are there such stupid people in the world?
No, Monica's angry words confirmed that Sun Ziming's resignation was because someone wanted to force Jill to resign, and others resigned because Sun Ziming also resigned.
This can be explained, China is the toughest and most generous boss in Hollywood, and Chris's gang was discovered by him from the sea of people, and they all worshipped him as a god. Now that their spiritual leader is gone, those big directors who can start their own companies and be bosses will still stay here and mingle?
As for those employees, since China Ming is known as the most generous boss and can distribute all the shares to them, when he is ready to start another film company, don't everyone hurry up and resign and continue to follow him in the past?
It's fun! It is estimated that the stock of light and shadow will fall to the price of cabbage, and Hollywood's most valuable film company will become the most garbage company at once.
As soon as the reporters sighed a few words, they immediately came back to their senses. Those who bought the shares of the light and shadow company quickly took out their mobile phones to make a call, and if they didn't buy stocks, they immediately took out their mobile phones and called back to the TV station, radio station, and newspaper, and everyone was busy.
The reporters' hectic frustration was reflected in the news reports of major television and radio stations a few minutes later, which quickly caused quite a stir in the stock market -- the stock price of the Light and Shadow Company fell in response, and by the close of the morning, its market value had shrunk to $33.5 billion, a 10 percent drop in market value within three hours.
At 12 o'clock in the afternoon, ESPN's reporter finally interviewed Douglas at Sun Ziming's house.
"For the whole incident, I am not in a position to comment, I only declare the following on behalf of my boss:
The resignation of the chairman is just his personal decision and has nothing to do with anyone else. He can only express regret for the resignation of other employees.
In the future, Ming Film Studios and Light and Shadow Company will continue to shoot films, but the publicity and distribution work will be temporarily entrusted to Universal and DreamWorks. ”
The reporter was just about to ask a question, but Douglas waved his hand and motioned for him to wait for a while.
"In addition, we announced that Mr. Chris Columbus accepted the offer of my boss and became a member of the 'Ming Film Studio' to be in charge of the selection of scripts. If a director or screenwriter thinks their script or idea is brilliant enough, they can go to his house and submit the script. ”
As soon as Douglas's statement was reported, the company's stock plummeted again at the opening of the afternoon. By the end of the afternoon, the market value of the company was less than $10 billion, and it fell by three-quarters in one day, and was ordered to suspend trading by the New York Stock Exchange.
…………
Unlike the panic in the stock market, Kirk vented his anger and sat in a messy office, lit a fine Cuban Havana cigar, and his face returned to normal.
How can a businessman do business with all his own money? The stock has depreciated by 3/4, and he has only lost less than 400 million on his books, which is far from breaking his bones. China Ming played so badly, it proves that no matter how bad it is, it will be bad enough for this Cheng dù, and then everyone can talk about big business.
Glancing at Robert, who was standing by the door with an earthy face, Kirk grabbed the phone and dialed a few numbers, and said with a smile: "My dear friend, you have made a big mistake this time. This time, you cost me $400 million!
Ok, I'm waiting for your news. I can afford to lose $400 million, but watching billions of dollars not be made is the most painful thing for me! ”
Putting down the phone, Kirk pondered for a while, felt that Shantino was still unreliable, and waved at Robert, who was standing there and did not dare to move, "Go talk to China Ming's dog, just say that we are willing to give up the controlling stake, and ask him at what price he is going to buy the shares in our hands." ”
“Boss?”
Kirk waved his hand as if to catch a fly, "Go ahead." ”
“Yes/boss”
