Unlike other giant film companies, Light and Shadow has an imposing office building in a bustling part of Hollywood, and even a plaza named after its own company, but it is only an old, remote two-story building. This was two years ago, when the United States was hit by the Southeast Asian financial crisis, and Jiang Peng took advantage of the owner's poor capital turnover to acquire it for $3.8 million.

Jill's president's office is on the easternmost side of the second floor, next to Sun Ziming's office. Usually Jill enjoys the sunshine in the winter, because Sun Ziming's office can only have sunlight in summer, and that time is the hottest time of the year.

But as soon as I got to work today, Jill was so angry that he turned blue when he saw the text that had just been sent by the public relations department on the table. Victoria's Secret actually won the entire costume sponsorship of the heroine of "The/Matrix" (The Matrix) for 3 million dollars!

The Chanel company has already paid four and a half million dollars, and he has not let go, and the boss actually agreed to Alexander? Jill instinctively thought of Alexander, and only that woman could convince the boss to use power for personal gain!

However, this time Jill did not recklessly think that Sun Ziming would really not interfere with her authority, and after completely calming down, he took Wen Jiàn to the screenwriting department to find Chris? Columbus. This agreement was sent by Chris, and he should give himself an explanation, otherwise he violated the company's rules and interfered in work that exceeded his authority. In the workplace, everyone takes their power very tightly, if others reach out and cross the line, and they don't fight back, their results can only be gloomy! This time it wasn't the last time, it was Chris who leveled the sponsors, and this time if there was no explanation, Jill wouldn't mind taking things to the boss.

"Oh, that's it", Chris looked up from the script pile, and after a pause, he remembered it, and explained, "Jill, the boss already knows about this, and specially asked me and Doug to do it." The three million will all go into the company's account, and it will not go to the boss studio. ”

"Deal?"

Jill was not angry, but suddenly disheartened, he was the president of the company, what could he not know, and he had to bypass himself? This is no longer a simple question of overreach, but a question of trust, if you don't trust yourself, what does this president mean in front of you?

Her face changed suddenly, and Chris, who knew the real reason, smiled bitterly, he had to make up a lie again. If it weren't for the boss himself to say it, I'm afraid no one would know that he and that supermodel were about to have children.

"No, this is a favor, our company returns someone else's favor."

Chris pondered his words and said in a low voice: "Remember the fact that our group successfully acquired ESPN and TV California at a very low price? We owe people a big favor, and now that they have opened their mouths, the boss must return this favor! ”

Every Hollywood company always has some secrets that cannot be told and relationships that cannot be disclosed. Jill felt a little more comfortable, she had been in this circle for more than twenty years, and she understood these things very well, so she had to put away her feelings, and said sternly: "OK, I hope there is no next time." The Public Relations Department is a subordinate department of the President's Office, not the Screenwriter and Director Department. ”

Chris shook his head helplessly, if it weren't for the fact that this company also had a share, he would have come to do this broken job with an annual salary of only 100,000?

……

The entanglement around the money printing machine of "The/Matrix" finally came to an end, and the bitter Liu Weiqiang took Jill's presidential order, ran around to explain it to others, and came to Sun Ziming's office with a sad face, and said distressedly: "My big guy, Jesse asked to buy company shares, what do you think?" ”

This is a troublesome matter, Sun Ziming raised his head from Zhang Wanting's script outline, rubbed his temples and became worried.

Come out and mix, reputation is very important!

We have cooperated for nearly ten years, and have become very compatible friends, and now the bonus can not be issued, and the company's futures stocks do not have their share, which seems to be a little sorry for the old friend. Although this black cauldron made Jill take the initiative to carry it, there is no compensation at all, how should friends see themselves? It's better on the U.S. side, anyway, everyone is used to cold business principles, but they still have industries in Hong Kong, the mainland, and South Korea!

Give them a little more equity? What will the veteran employees of the company think? Everyone works hard, and the benefits are only obtained by virtue of each person's contribution to the company, and outsiders get the highest salary in the industry, and they can get more futures stocks if they only do the work they should do? At the beginning, those veteran employees worked overtime day and night, and gave up the holidays guaranteed by the law to build the company. Gil dared to bypass himself and cancel the reward system for non-company employees, which is very much representative of the company's employees. Who allowed himself to educate the people of light and shadow into a united but exclusive group of people?

Increasing their investment in The/Matrix2 would be even more inappropriate! "The/Matrix2" will definitely make a lot of money, increase their investment, and the company's employees will be even more unconvinced.

At the head, the most important thing is a bowl of water!

After being distressed for a while, Sun Ziming asked rhetorically: "Wei Qiang, what can you do?" ”

Liu Weiqiang spread his hands like a ghost, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Ming, I can't even think of a way to distribute the shares to Lao Du now, you still come to ask me?" ”

"Stupid! After the company is listed, sell the stock to Lao Du at the market price, and then lose the money to him on the table, isn't this done? ”

Liu Weiqiang, who turned his head, patted his head and said, "Yes, how did I drill the horns?" Brother Ming, don't you also lose the prize money to them? ”

Sun Tzu is happy, this guy does this, no one will say a word, he can spend his own money how he wants! I can't do it myself, the whole company is watching, losing tens of millions to them, isn't it telling everyone, in their own minds, friends are more important than their own people? Those ghosts, don't look at all of them to value interests, but they also take their position in the company very seriously. I represent the company, how can I do such a thing?

"Then I can't help it, you can't be a big guy, can I still do it?"

Liu Weiqiang, who solved the problem, left very irresponsiblely, leaving Sun Ziming to continue to read the diary and continue to be distressed.

In fact, Sun Ziming also understands that Jesse Gangzuo's request is unreasonable, and even a bit of an inch. Since they gave them such a high salary and a reward beyond their contributions, it should be a favor they owe themselves. But as soon as this matter involves everyone's friendship for many years, as well as his usual claim that 'friends should help each other', it is a bit unclear between public and private.

Hey, it's only to blame myself for using the methods in Hong Kong in Hollywood, where business is supreme, in order to win people's hearts! I and the company have gained a good reputation, and have been sought after by the people who profit and envy as 'Hollywood's most humane company', but they are also bound by this reputation, and they are tied to everything!
