The culture of the Oriental people is a relative culture, 'the king regards the minister as a sibling, and the minister regards the king as the heart; The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman; The king regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard him as an enemy. Mencius Lilou II.

Traditional Chinese culture also pursues freedom, and this freedom is the freedom of a gentleman. Mencius said: 'The rich and the rich cannot be lewd, the poor and the lowly cannot be moved, and the mighty cannot be bowed. This kind of freedom does not consider itself important, but for the sake of the so-called "righteousness", which is not disturbed by external objects, and can sacrifice one's life to take righteousness. This freedom, of course, includes non-contrast and introspection.

Western traditions and liberal ideas are more self-oriented, as reflected in Britain's Magna Carta, where the rights of the people are defined only by law, not by the monarch. On the Magna Carta monument is written: Tocommemoratemagnacarta, symbleoffreedomunderlaw. So, Charles I was guillotined by Cromwell, and his son James II was ousted by the Glorious Revolution, these were victories of civil power against imperial power.

The difference between these two cultures makes the light and shadow group faintly divided into two factions, one is the EPSN team represented by George. Although they have also witnessed ESPN's miraculous becoming the NO of entertainment and sports stations. 1. I also enjoy the results of a genius leader making an enterprise rise rapidly, but they believe in the power of the system and the team more than the genius who relies on the leader. Those of them, before joining the light and shadow, had already gained a certain social status, and they followed George to join the light and shadow, or let George persuade them to join the light and shadow, just to take their careers to the next level.

And the other faction is a group of veterans represented by Jiang Peng, including Liu Weiqiang, Lao Du, Li Yusen, Li Rui and even Chris? Columbus, Frank? Delabong, Tim, these authentic Americans. These people, without exception, are all people from Light and Shadow Film Company.

Because under the leadership of Sun Ziming, they created the myth of light and shadow, and they are also the people who have benefited the most from this myth. In their eyes, Sun Ziming is not a boss but a leader and a leader, who excavates them from the small people, makes them big shots, multimillionaires or even billionaires, and is the God who brings great changes to their lives!

Before the movie has box office results, no one knows what will happen, and it is impossible to check the ratings at any time like a TV series or a variety show, so that the next time it can be modified according to the audience's preferences, and when there is nothing to change, it will be cut and started anew. Sun Ziming, a person with 'eyes like torches', has become their spiritual godfather and god of success, so Chris? Columbus, Frank? Only like Jiang Peng and Li Rui, will these Americans attach great importance to the overall interests of this small group headed by Sun Ziming. After they became famous, they did not stand on their own like Lucas, Spielberg and other big directors, but set up their own studios, attached to the light and shadow company, and used their talents to feed the parent company.

Not to mention these directors and screenwriters who are still in the light and shadow company, even Li Zhi, Cheng Long, and Chris, who have left the company? Big stars such as Swift and Drew, after Sun Tzu Ming set the rules for continuing to treat them preferentially, they must take on other companies' films, and when they receive film contracts from light and shadow companies, they still treat themselves as light and shadow people: Sun Ziming listens to him when he is there, and he listens to Chris Columbus or even Douglas when he is not, how much cash should be paid, how much investment should be paid, and even how much cash must be paid to invest in films in addition to salary, almost no need for an agent to talk, and he can negotiate it when he goes to the company for a cup of coffee and laughs for a while.

The reason for this situation is also because of Sun Tzu Mingdong's management methods, which makes these talented but unambitious people grateful.

Hollywood is cold, but the light and shadow company is full of oriental human touch, like a warm paradise: Chris and his investment in the film have a gap in funds, and they directly borrow from Sun Ziming, and they don't even need collateral; Chris, they will be like Sun Ziming took them at the beginning, teaching their assistant directors hand in hand; Even under the influence of Jiang Peng and Lu Huiguang, everyone drinks coffee and eats in the café at the door, but it is the directors and screenwriters who make more money in the company who pay the bill.

Over time, Hollywood has had the saying of 'light and shadow', and actors born in light and shadow always make other directors look up to them, because even third-tier actors like Clancy Brown can invite Chris Swift or superstars like Richie and Drew for free to make cameos. And in the films of big directors like Sun Ziming and Chris Columbus, there are always the faces of second- and third-tier movie stars such as Bob Gunton and William Seidler, even if they are not the main supporting roles, they are also characters with lines.

Jiang Peng talked about such a big thing, and Sun Ziming felt a sense of powerlessness, these words were definitely not thought up by this kid, nine times out of ten they were instigated by George's old fox, who wanted to use oriental ethics to trap himself: light and shadow were created by themselves, everyone regarded themselves as leaders and souls, and they were only loyal to him like knights in the Middle Ages, how could they only think about maximizing their own interests, so many people ignored them?

George's old guy is just an out-and-out old fox, and his purpose is one, he has no objection to running a school by himself, but the premise is that he cannot harm the overall interests of the group. Running a school is a black hole of funds, in order to raise funds today, the film company can be listed, ESPN can be listed tomorrow, and the entire light and shadow group can be listed the day after tomorrow!

Last year, the light and shadow film company made a profit of more than 700 million, ESPN made a profit of more than 300 million, and the special effects company made a profit of more than 300 million. Why do companies go public? There is only one purpose - financing, so that the company can get more funds and resources, and accelerate the company's growth, but the listing of Light and Shadow Group is to raise funds for Sun Ziming!

There is no problem with this, if the company wants to grow, it will be listed sooner or later, but what George is most afraid of is that Sun Ziming will give up his controlling stake at some point!

The reason is also very simple, the time since the establishment of the Light and Shadow Group is too short, so short that the foundation is not stable. The controlling stake is in the hands of Sun Ziming, George only needs to convince Sun Ziming, once he loses the controlling stake, he must always convince the majority of shareholders, and those shareholders are likely to be fools who only care about their immediate interests!

It's a pity that what George didn't expect was that this set no longer worked for Sun Ziming. My own family affairs, I know best, Sun Tzu knows that in more than ten years, he will become a mediocre mortal, at most he will become a symbol of the Light and Shadow Group, and he can no longer fly forward with it. But Sun Ziming still waited patiently for Jiang Peng to finish speaking, and then said with a smile: "Dapeng, don't go around in circles." I'm much better than you in this regard! ”

Jiang Peng swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty: "Brother Ming, do you know Apple?" Its founder is Steve Jobs, owner of Pixar Animation Studios and producer of "Toy Story" last year. ”

Sun Ziming waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, don't talk about it, I filmed "Forrest Gump", how could I not know?" You're just worried that in the future, light and shadow will become the second apple, allowing financial capital to control and become eager for quick success, right? ”

When Sun Ziming said this, Jiang Peng was a little relieved.

Modern finance can make potential companies grow rapidly, but it also makes companies more eager for quick success, focusing only on the present and the future, and gradually becoming mediocre. Jiang Peng is most afraid of the end of light and shadow like Apple, if Apple had not let financial capital control and drove away their soul Jobs, maybe it would not have fallen to today's point at all.

Money, he Jiang Peng has earned enough, the company's dividends in the past few years, plus following Sun Ziming to make investments, he has already earned money that he can't spend in ten lifetimes. But the light and shadow company has brought him to the peak of his life, and it is a peak that may no longer be surmountable, how can he not be afraid of light and shadow becoming the second apple? Otherwise, how could George convince him to let Sun Ziming's hardcore run to be a lobbyist?

Fortunately, Jiang Peng is Sun Ziming's hardcore, so that he did not feel angry, but instead made the plan and discarded. There is no way to do this, if the film company wants to go public, it can bypass George, but it can't bypass Jiang Peng. However, Sun Ziming is not worried about his opposition or leaking out, this kid is the second great-uncle, on the surface Westernized, in fact, he still believes in the traditional way of monarchs and ministers in his bones! As long as such a person is given trust and respect, he will serve himself as his lord and put his own interests first.

"Dapeng, your and George's guess is right, I will definitely go public with the film company in the future, make a lot of money in the stock market, and take it back to China to run education. However, there is one thing you are wrong, I want to make the film company public, not because I am short of money, but just to make money, understand? I'm a traditional believer that 'those who are not of my race will have different hearts', and except for followers like Chris, those partners are not in my eyes at all. ”

Jiang Peng was stunned, he didn't expect that Sun Ziming actually hit this idea, not to raise funds for the university at all.

'Hehe', Sun Ziming sneered a few times, and said quietly: "Remember what I said before, my dream is to let Chinese films rule the Asian market, right?" For the sake of this dream, I wish there was no Hollywood! ”

What the? Jiang Peng's mouth opened wide and he couldn't close it for a long time.

"But it's impossible, that's why I came to Hollywood to make money and draw blood from Hollywood to Hong Kong Light and Shadow. I can give you a thorough explanation, although the two lights and shadows are now independent, as long as the strength of Hong Kong's light and shadow surpasses that of the United States, and the future government is allowed, I will merge the United States into Hong Kong light and shadow. ”

Jiang Peng completely understood, he was born in Harvard Business School, and immediately understood that the company's listing was a complete conspiracy!

Today's light and shadow companies make a net profit of $7.8 billion a year, nearly double that of other giants, and the market valuation exceeds $10 billion, and it is still overvalued. If Light and Shadow goes public, those film investment funds will have to rush for stocks and speculate the stock price to sky-high prices. As long as Brother Ming ships at the highest price of the stock, and then buys it back when the stock returns to rationality, this difference in price, Jingshi University is equivalent to Hollywood helping him build!

This is still at best, if Brother Ming is ruthless enough, after selling his own stocks, he will take Chris and them to pat their butts and leave, they can make the stock price go crazy in a very short time, and then make a lot of money backhand! When the time comes, whether he wants to come back and take charge of light and shadow again, or start anew, it all depends on his mood. To put it bluntly, the most valuable thing in the light and shadow company is Brother Ming, who is his accurate judgment of the market!

Jiang Peng let himself break out in a cold sweat, but Sun Ziming laughed.

Sun Ziming wants to make money, and the plan is similar to what Jiang Peng said, but it is more hidden. Although he acquired the shares of Microsoft, Apple, and Cisco, which are future super gold mines at a low price, who can pack the ticket for the future? Who would have too much money? If he has enough money, Jingshi University can completely change from two to two and two to four, and he can completely change the education problem in the mainland with his own strength, so that he can stay for eternity!

"I Ching" cloud: "The king does not lose his country, and the minister does not lose his body."

Meaning: the king must be thoughtful and careful in order to rejuvenate the country; Ministers need to know the world affairs and practice human feelings to preserve.

Jiang Peng is just like Sun Ziming's judgment of him, this is a guy with a suit on the outside and a horse coat on the inside, and the two of them get along like the monarchs and ministers of the old days, but they don't have as much red tape as in the old days.

When Sun Ziming revealed his true thoughts and thoughts, Jiang Peng didn't even ask about the details, and chose to obey without surprise.

Sun Ziming also gave Jiang Peng and George, who didn't come, a reassurance, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, the plan was deliberated by Steve and Amin, and they are all fair and honest business practices, and they can't even talk about the edge of the law." Give George a breath, I'm not confused yet, there are some things he doesn't have to think about. ”

"Understood"

"The special effects company's business, let that Benjamin do it, the salary can be higher, don't be afraid to spend money."

Jiang Peng pondered for a while, stretched out a finger and gestured, and saw Sun Ziming add a slap, then he said in a deep voice: "Understood"
