Sun Ziming still underestimated the American people's worship of technology, and after the broadcast of David's late-night show, those electronic products that made fans feel very magical attracted a considerable number of fans to watch the movie repeatedly. By the time The/Matrix was drawn, the box office had finally wobbly crossed the $200 million mark, reaching $207 million.

But for such a happy event, Jill called Liu Weiqiang into the office with a bad face. After closing the door, Jill threw a reward application in his hand in front of him, glared at him and said in a deep voice: "Hai, I know that your relationship with the boss is not an ordinary employment relationship, but I will not approve the reward plan you proposed!" ”

“Why?”

Liu Weiqiang is anxious, the box office of "The/Matrix" exceeds 200 million, which is considered income such as advertising placement, as well as overseas box office in the future, the company can earn at least more than 200 million, is it not agreed to allocate a reward of 20 million US dollars first? The company used to have this rule, and after the success of the film, 20% of the net profit was rewarded to the crew and behind-the-scenes staff!

"No, didn't I say that you and the boss are not in an ordinary employment relationship?"

Liu Weiqiang is a little crazy, if these rewards can't be cashed out, how can he explain it to everyone? Besides, these rewards are still the big ones from Brother Ming's studio!

"No, boss's studio is also a subsidiary of the company, and it will also obey the company's financial management in the future! Hai, we've paid the crew, and it's according to the highest Hollywood standards, and the actors and screenwriters have signed agreements with the agency. We are a commercial company and it is impossible to pay any bonuses outside of the agreement! ”

'Shit', Liu Wei swallowed the dirty words that had just come to his lips, picked up the reward application on the table and wanted to throw the door away, Jill had a dark face and scolded angrily: "Stop! ”

“what?”

Jill who had been suppressing his anger finally broke out, pointed at Liu Weiqiang's nose and roared, "Don't you understand what I said? You are the confidant of the boss, and you will also be a shareholder of the company, can't you see that the previous regulations will harm the interests of the company?

We're going to go public, and we're going to be on the right track in the future! These bullshit rewards, are they shareholders' or boss's private? ”

There is no need for a heavy hammer to ring the drum, Liu Weiqiang made Jill scold in a cold sweat, why did Sun Ziming introduce such a regulation, he knew too well as Sun Ziming's head horse. At that time, the foundation of light and shadow was unstable, and if they didn't buy people's hearts like this, would Chris and Frank stay in the company willingly?

The company is about to be listed, and it is impossible for shareholders to allow such a regulation to be deposited, even if Ming Ge has absolute control, and the enforcement of such a regulation will be resisted by shareholders. Chris and Roland are all big directors, and such regulations are actually harming their interests, no one provoked before, but once the company is listed, other major shareholders will not hint and lobby?

Doesn't such a provision give other people the possibility of suing the company?

Liu Weiqiang is a director, although his achievements in photography are much higher than being a director, he is also a pretty good director, and his understanding of human nature is far beyond ordinary people. Jill's words startled him, and he immediately understood what the white woman was thinking. The company's incentive provisions will certainly harm the interests of the company's shareholders, but it is not harming her own interests? She is using herself as a gunman and listing as an excuse to abolish this reward system!

After being silent for a while, Liu Weiqiang said in a deep voice: "Jill, regulations are regulations, and they must be implemented before they are officially abolished!" You are the president of the company, and if the regulations no longer fit, you should raise them with the board of directors instead of refusing to enforce them! ”

Liu Weiqiang really underestimated the professional ethics of professional managers, Jill pushed back the award application on the table, took out a presidential order from the drawer and handed it to him, and mocked: "When I took over the company, the board of directors authorized me, as long as it is not related to the company's development strategy, I have full authority to manage the company's affairs until the board of directors signs me."

We are sorry that the company's reward system was not approved by the board of directors at that time, nor was it confirmed by the board of directors at a later date. In other words, it's just a personal decision of the boss, and it's right within my purview, so I'm scrapping it before your film is released! ”

"How did I not know?"

Jill leaned back in his office chair and sneered, "You're not even a personal employee of the boss, let alone an employee of the Light and Shadow Company, do I have the obligation to notify you or you?" ”

Liu Weiqiang was choked by Jill, he and Lao Du were not employees of the company at all, but just the royal photographers of Sun Ziming Film Studio. What if Chris? Columbus, Frank, and Roland are not shareholders in the company, and they have to manage the script review committee, and their billionaires will come to work as a small clerk with an annual salary of less than $100,000 and sign in to the company every day?

Brother Ming and Chris, who are busy reviewing scripts and preparing new films every day, how can they care about the affairs of these companies? Employees of the company? I'm afraid they will be desperate, because they will become a minority shareholder of the company, and this rule will actually harm their interests!

"You/win!"

Liu Weiqiang picked up the two copies of the paper on the table, turned around and left, and Jill threw it over with satisfaction, "Hai, you will also be a shareholder!" ”

……

Douglas is Sun Ziming's personal assistant, and Kayo Sato is his assistant assigned to him by Universal and Light and Shadow Group, and strictly speaking, neither of them is an employee of Light and Shadow Company. Sun Ziming, who was discussing the script with Zhang Wanting, looked at Liu Weiqiang and the red-faced Douglas and Kayo Sato who were dumbfounded, and this loophole that Jill drilled was really reasonable, advantageous, and modest.

"Doug, according to this statement, our studio can't give you a reward?"

Douglas blushed, not because he couldn't get the bonus, he and Sun Ziming had an agreement to protect it, he was because of such news, he, as the boss's personal assistant, didn't hear the news.

"Boss, according to the company's regulations, future rewards will be canceled. That rule, or your decision when you were the boss alone, I asked Kayo to call the company to confirm that Miss Jill had actually abolished a verbal rule. ”

Sun Ziming looked at Yoshiyo Sato in astonishment, this gentle Japanese woman blushed, bowed and said, "Boss, this is my dereliction of duty, please punish me!" ”

What are the penalties? This is a good thing that Jiang Peng did, a tail that he deliberately left. That guy is scheming, if he doesn't become a senator, it is estimated that he should do what is abolished now! Also, when the foundation is unstable, we must buy people's hearts, and when the foundation is stable, we must have clear rewards and punishments, and we must take into account the feelings of our peers. What kind of situation does light and shadow put other companies in?

"Doug, you go take care of it."

"Yes", Douglas and Yoshiyo Sato, two more employees from the company, with anonymous votes, voted with the directors who were busy in the company or on the set, and finally confirmed that Jill abolished the reward system with 3/4 of the votes.

……

Brian, the president of UTN (United Elite Brokerage Company), was so angry when he heard the news that he immediately went to Jill to theorize. Most of the actors who starred in "The/Matrix" were owned by their companies, and at that time, considering the reward system of light and shadow and possible market risks, the salaries of the stars did not sign an agreement according to the market price. Li Lianjie, the leading actor, only received a salary of 13 million US dollars, which is 7 million lower than the market price, and now that the light and shadow company has abolished the reward system, isn't this a cheat?

Jill can become the president of the light and shadow company, but he relies on real skills, and in the face of Brian's questioning, he retorted: "No, Brian, we canceled the reward system, and it did not harm Jay's interests. I'll admit that his salary is $7 million less than the market price, but he invested $3 million in The/Matrix and made more than twice as much as his salary! ”

"It's fair that the investment should pay off!"

"No, it's not fair at all! If we take out the BOSS film for financing, and only take a million dollars of shares for a $3 million investment, a lot of people will still chase after the investment! ”

This is really true, there are no movies approved by Sun Ziming that are not profitable, and they are all extremely high box office. In addition to those art films and commercial films to finance, those investment funds can really do this!

"Shit, why didn't you inform us?"

“why? When did UTA become our subsidiary? ”

Annoyed and angry, Brian glared at Jill and said, "Jill, I ask Jay for $25 million for his next film, plus a 15% box office share!" Karen? Mutt's salary is $12 million, and he also needs a 10% box office share! ”

At this time, the manager of the public relations department, Liana, came in with Wen Jiàn in her arms, and Jill knew that the sponsorship agreement had been negotiated, and she was secretly happy, so she didn't care and said: "Whatever, The/Matrix is only 40% of our company's shares, you should go to Douglas to talk!" Ok, I have something to do now, please take care of yourself. ”

“Shit!”

Talking to that dog, what's the joke? That bastard is as cunning as a fox, and he's going to talk to himself about it?

Looking at Jill's teasing expression, Brian suddenly understood that the abolition of that reward system, in addition to harming the interests of those non-light and shadow company crew members and UTA, Jay and Karen? Mutter's losses are all within the acceptable range of their own, and they will not listen to the company's advice at all. This is ruthless enough, without considering the reputation of the boss, so the system of letting the light and shadow company win a good reputation has been abolished!

NO,no,I guess the boss is also the default.,Now the light and shadow don't need to buy those little minions! 20% of the net profit, that's not a small amount of money! Employees have the company's stock to appease, but the interests of non-company employees, and the wicked person is not his doing, what does it matter to him? In Hollywood, as long as he has money, can't he hire anyone?

Brian, who figured it out, slammed the door in anger and left, and Lena said nervously: "Jill, the agreement is negotiated, and Volkswagen has agreed to sponsor three latest Lamborghini concept cars...... DELL, APPLE AND CWHA ELECTRONICS ALL REFUSED TO SPONSOR ON THE NEW TERMS, SAYING THEIR NEW PRODUCTS WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO MEET OUR SCHEDULE......"

“What? Why?”

Jill's face collapsed just now, and his heart ached for a while, seeing that tens of millions of dollars were about to fly away! Lianna, the veteran of the light and shadow company, Jiang Peng's former henchmen looked at Jill sympathetically, this strong woman may be about to fall.
