Chapter 510: Winding Paths Lead to Secludedness

Tomorrow is New Year's Day, and Sun Tzu will preside over the company's annual meeting on time at nine o'clock. This year, the company did not release a single film in North America, relying on the release of "Rush Hour" in Europe and Asia, and received more than 38 million US dollars; The "Alone, home" series and "Sniper Phone Booth" got a share of 21 million in the videotape market, so that the company was not in a loss, but also made a slight profit.

"Next year, next year we'll have at least three films coming out. I hope that everyone can get a great reward next year and dismiss the meeting! ”

A group of employees got up giggling and came to hug Sun Ziming and invite him to their home to attend the party.

Sun Ziming had no choice but to refuse the love of the employees, "Hey, I still have to go to San Francisco and Los Angeles, everyone will go to my house for a party next year, OK?" ”

“OK”

After the company's annual meeting, Sun Ziming rushed to San Francisco non-stop, ESPN lost more than 46 million this year, and he had to fill this hole. Using an excuse that the other party did not respect him, he fired those high-ranking people, although those bastards were not very popular, but they also succeeded in inciting the white employees to die, and he had to help George reassure people.

Looking at those newly promoted high-level executives, there was no joy of promotion and salary increase on their faces, but some resistance to their arrival, Sun Ziming had a heavy sense of failure. If I knew this, I should have restrained myself in the study that day, don't shoot so hard, and don't speak so harshly.

"......, that's all I have to say. I'm not a stingy person, and I'm happy to share a word with you, you can go to Los Angeles Light and Shadow Company to inquire, don't always listen to one-sided words. You have a proverb, 'A, man, must, eat, a, peck, of, salt, with, his, friend, before, he, knows, him.' (A person can go on a long journey, in a small hotel, you can know what kind of person his partner is), what will happen to the company in the future, and how you will be given a stage to display your talents, these can be proved in the future. ”

After the annual meeting, remembering those polite applause, Sun Ziming really wanted to make a fire and let those bastards know who could pay them. In George's office, the two discussed for a while, made up for the loss of more than 46 million, and Sun Ziming rushed to the last stop in Chicago. Today is New Year's Day, and the NBA league has scheduled a New Year's Day match between the Bulls and New York. Jerry Reinsdorf let Santino take away, and only Sun Ziming, the vice chairman, presided over the annual meeting and the team's New Year's Day party.

The players were also very competitive, and the more than 18,000 fans were united in the "Ole! Ole! Ole! Ole! We, are, the, champions", cleanly slashed the Houston Rockets led by 'Big Dream' Olajuwon. Watching the greatest center of his generation walk lonely to the players' tunnel, Sun Tzu sighed that the superstars of their generation would become the background of Michael Jordan.

The players had to take a shower and be interviewed by reporters, so the New Year's Day party was held at 11 o'clock. Sun Ziming took Michael's agent, David Falck, into Jerry Reinsdorf's Bentley, and familiarly found a bottle of 1986 Lafite from the wine cabinet, "David, have a drink?" ”

“OK”

David Falck took the wine glass handed over by Claudia, shook the blood-red wine, touched the glass with Sun Ziming, and continued the topic just now, "Ming, Jerry said that the team is managed by you, and I want to talk to you about Michael's contract." ”

Jerry Reinsdorf is indeed a shrewd man, and if it weren't for the fact that the NBA hadn't managed to go global in the first two years, he had lost a lot of money in the financial markets, and he wouldn't have been able to buy a stake in the Bulls himself. You must know that the team's profit this year reached 60 million, and with their own investment of 30 million, they got back 12.59 million this year. Michael Jordan has already embarked on the road to becoming a god, and getting an annual salary of 3.25 million a year is indeed a bit low.

However, although Jerry gave Sun Ziming the power to make decisions about the team, it does not include the power to meddle in finances, "David, I personally think Michael's salary is a bit low, which is not in line with his contribution to the team, but the league has a salary cap rule. ”

David Falck is not yet the agent who calls for the wind and rain in the future, and the excitement flashing in his eyes made Sun Ziming hurriedly explain: "David, this is just my personal opinion, and it does not represent the team. I'm only a minority shareholder in the team, and Jerry can only make decisions about the economy and finances, OK? ”

Sun Ziming paused and continued: "David, I have isolated Hollywood in the past two years, and the employees of ESPN have rejected me, and I don't want to make things worse. If I told you today, I won't admit it when I get out of the car, OK? ”

"OK", David also knows Sun Ziming's current situation, if he hadn't had enough talent and enough dollars in his pocket, the situation would have developed out of control a long time ago.

Sun Ziming had a toast with David and whispered in his ear: "Don't worry, Michael has realized my basketball dream for me, and I won't treat them badly." ”

"Thinkyou, you're a generous person!"

Sun Tzu clearly doesn't care much about the dividends the team gives him this year, and although $12.59 million is indeed a large amount, it is a bit of a small amount compared to allowing George to stabilize people's hearts and lead ESPN and Cal TV to rise rapidly. Money earned is spent, just a tool to make the business more successful.

……

At the Hilton Chicago Hotel, players, team staff, management, team sponsors, and stadium security gathered to congratulate each other on a happy new year with champagne, red wine, and whiskey.

Taylor Elizabeth and her group of reporters were also invited to participate in today's New Year's party, but she got inside information that her grandson would have a big move at the party, so she had already asked the photojournalist to follow the boss with a camera. Other reporters are not suspicious, ESPN is already a TV station under China Ming, and it is normal for Taylor to shoot the boss's fart, although this fart is a little conspicuous.

Sun Ziming usually has a good relationship with the players, and when the team goes to Los Angeles to play, they will invite everyone to his estate as guests, so when he socializes with the players, Michael and they start to embarrass him.

"Ming, you gave a bonus of $9.8 million to the people of the light and shadow company last year, and even the little girl at the front desk received $20,000, how much did you give this year?"

Standing in a pile of giants, Sun Ziming felt a little awkward, but he still said happily: "Not a penny, no way, my boss didn't make any money this year." ”

A group of stars crusaded one after another, "Cut, you're too picky!" ”

"You're the richest boss in Hollywood, and you still care about millions of dollars?"

Claudia next to her distinguished her boss and said, "No, Michael, our company has a rule that 20% of the profits of all films are rewarded. The company has no films released this year, so naturally there will be no bonuses. ”

David, who had been staying next to Michael, saw that the camera had been following Sun Ziming, and he keenly felt something. China is known as the most generous boss under his hands, and marketing methods are endless, and today may be about to give personal rewards to the players. Thinking of his words in the car today, combined with his own thoughts, David hurriedly smiled and said: "Ming, you are the chairman of the light and shadow company, the company's performance is good, and it is appropriate to give bonuses to employees." You're also the vice chairman of the Bulls, and the players are your employees, so you can't favor one over the other, right? ”

Yes? Although the players have developed limbs and their minds are no worse than ordinary people, they immediately stared eagerly at Sun Ziming.

"Ming, if you don't give us a bonus, that's not fair. Jerry is a poor man, but you're super rich! ”

Is Jerry's bastard poor? It's only you muscle sticks who will believe it, but Sun Ziming is still very satisfied with David Falke's tacit understanding.

"yes, that's a real problem. I have always believed that profits are created by everyone and should be shared by everyone. But what if I give you a reward, Jerry? As you said, Jerry is a poor man, and he lost a lot of money in the financial market in the first two years, and this year he bought a special plane for everyone when his financial situation was a little better. ”

David Falck heard the sound of the strings and knew what he meant, and immediately chimed in: "Gentlemen, don't be embarrassed to understand, if he rewards you, what will happen to Jerry's poor ghost?" However, I have a great idea so that you can get rewarded and Ming doesn't have to worry about upsetting Jerry. ”

Michael has seen Sun Ziming's generosity, and on his birthday this year, the gift he received was a Lamborghini worth $600,000, and then coaxed: "You say, you say, Ming is a generous person, and he will definitely reward us!" Right, Ming, my dear friend. ”

Sun Ziming shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and rushed to the people who came over: "Everyone testify, Michael, they made money for me, and I am happy to share my profits with my friends, but the premise is that I can't let my other friend, Jerry."
