Chapter 1404: Fusion Plan
Lu Jing smiled and nodded, "I know." Frank, I'm going to have the executives of MGM and Tianchen Entertainment swap with each other. ”
Seeing Frank Bernard's embarrassed face, Yu Le, who followed Lu Jinglai, interjected, "Lu Jing, this will cause a conflict in corporate culture." It's hard to play the effect that 1+1 equals 2. ”
Lu Jing said calmly: "There was also a conflict after Goldman Sachs acquired Jierun Company. Now Jierun contributes one-third of Goldman Sachs' profits every year. How did Goldman Sachs solve a similar problem? ”
Frank Bernard had a look of shock on his face.
The connection between Wall Street and Hollywood is not as far as most people think. Even, there is close. Investing in a movie is also a form of venture capital.
Of course, he knew how Goldman Sachs solved Jierun's problem back then. After irreconcilable conflicts between concepts and corporate culture, Goldman Sachs fired the top management of Jierun. It's equivalent to cleaning it all over again.
Mr. Lu's meaning is obvious.
"If you need to lay off people, you will lay off them. Don't worry about the cost of layoffs. The damage done to MGM by an unsuitable person far outweighs the loss of his layoffs. Lu Jing said it calmly, and his tone was flat, but Frank Bernard knew what kind of turbulence these words were going to set off in MGM.
It is estimated that many people's jobs will be smashed.
Frank Bernard advised: "Mr. Lu, the executives of Tianchen Entertainment may not necessarily fit into the Hollywood model. ”
Lu Jing smiled, "This is also a problem." Let's run in slowly. The unsuitable person, whether it is MGM or Tianchen Entertainment, can be killed. What I want is for the executives of the two companies to be able to move to each other. ”
In fact. Tianchen Entertainment's acquisition of MGM has been questioned by many people in the media. Can Chinese play Hollywood? How to solve the difference between Eastern and Western cultures, and how to solve the difference in aesthetics?
To such arguments. Lu Jing was very disdainful. The executives of foreign-funded enterprises can be China experts and serve as presidents in China, and Chinese do not have American experts? Can't go to a U.S. company to be a CEO?
Impossible! Managing a business is something you can figure out in many places.
Frank Bernard nodded helplessly, this Mr. Lu is a strong man and determined. He had no doubt that if he could not carry out Mr. Lu's will, it would be a matter of minutes for Mr. Lu to be ousted from the position of CEO of MGM.
A wry smile appeared on Yu Le's handsome face. Lu Jing is trying to force his will, for fear that this will cause Frank Bernard's disgust. But any professional manager with some ability will not like others to dictate his work.
After finishing business, drinking coffee and chatting a few words, Lu Jing asked with a smile, "Frank." I'm planning to buy a home in Los Angeles, do you have any good recommendations? ”
Frank Bernard pondered it, he was a little unsure of what Lu Jing meant, and said, "Mr. Lu is not satisfied with the villa here? ”
"There are too many Hollywood stars, it's a little bit noisy."
Yu Le couldn't help but roll his eyes depressedly, and there are people who dislike Hollywood stars living next to their residences?
Frank Bernard understood a little and shrugged, "Mr. Lu, I understand your needs. Montecito, CA, the fourth richest district in the United States, is just north of Los Angeles County. Strictly speaking, it is part of Santa Barbara County. There are clusters of high-end manor-style mansions. ”
Billy Foshanzhuang mansions typically sell for more than $10 million. And Monticito often sells for more than $50 million.
With Mr. Lu's ability to spend $5.5 billion on MGM, owning a mansion in Monticito is not a problem at all.
Seeing the land spot, he nodded. Yu Le said: "Lu Jing, there are many rules for buying a house here in the United States. If the local residents don't want to accept you into their community, you won't be able to buy a mansion. ”
Lu Jing smiled and glanced at Frank Bernard. He brought up this topic in the hope of bridging the gap with Frank Bernard.
Frank Bernard smiled wryly. Mr. Lu, this is obviously the wrist of His Majesty. It's just that the displeasure in his heart just now has indeed disappeared a little. Mr. Luk's willingness to listen to his own opinions on personal matters is a sign of trust.
Frank Bernard said, "Mr. Lu, if you don't mind, I can help you run this matter." ”
Lu Jing smiled. "Okay, then please. The sooner the better. ”
There are many inconveniences in living in Villa 1090 with Yushou and others from Tianchen Entertainment. He had an emotional kiss with Mingxue on the balcony yesterday evening. But at night they had to separate. Because there was not enough private space for him to stay with Ming Xue.
…
…
Coming out of MGM's headquarters, Yu Le gave Lu Jing a thumbs up. "Lu Jing, your royal means are perfect."
"It's just a little trick. The point is that Frank Bernard wants to make a career at MGM, and I support him. Lu Jing said with a smile. Get into a black Cadillac limousine with Yu Le.
The scenery of Billy Buddha Village slowly receded and disappeared out of the car window. Lu Jing and Yu Le's destination is to go to Arcadia to meet Qi Jingyao. There are a lot of people here in Billy Buddha Village.
Arcadia is located away from the downtown area and close to the mountains in a beautiful location. This is a well-known Chinese upscale community. Secondary education is among the best in Los Angeles. Many domestic immigrants and wealthy people choose to buy a house in Arcadia.
Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar Western-style building streets outside the car window, spacious and clean, with sparse pedestrians, Yu Le asked, "Lu Jing, how did you talk to Mingxue, He Mengming, and Jingwen?" ”
He is still very concerned about the whereabouts of his colleagues. It is said that Mingxue and He Mengming plan to work at EK Company. And Mo Jingwen got revenge on her father after Cui Qiyue entered, and there is a high probability that she will return to work in Hengxin Group.
Lu Jingdao: "Mingxue and Xiao Ming are going to work in Ek Company. I also agree. But we have to wait until the assistant trained by Yuqi can take over. I guess it's going to be another year or two. Jingwen agrees to stay. ”
After a while of driving to Arcadia, Lu Jing fell into deep thought slightly, remembering the scene when he talked alone with He Mengming and Mo Jingwen before falling asleep last night.
…
…
"Xiao Ming, Mingxue can't stand the trivial affairs around me and wants to leave, what about you?" In He Mengming's room, Lu Jing gently held He Mengming's sleek hand.
He Mengming smiled softly and looked at Lu Jing's warm eyes calmly, "Lu Jing, do you remember that morning in Perth?" You went to my sister's room and prepared to steal incense and jade. I was there at the time, ruining your good deeds.
I already talked to my sister before you came in. She agrees that I will be with you. It's just that I have to consider my sister's feelings. He Mengming gently stroked Lu Jing's face. It's light, it's soft. She loves Lu Jing.
I met this man in ninety-six years, and the hazy feelings that arose later made her willing to make a spoon for him. It's just that what lies between her and Lu Jing is: Lu Jing has a wife and a bunch of red faces. Even, her sister is one of Lu Jing's favorite women.
She chose to avoid it. When he was a graduate student, he was admitted to Huaxia Renmin University. However, when Lu Jing was surrounded by assistants and asked her to help, she still came. When he returned to Lu Jing's side, he saw that this man was enough to affect the rise and fall of an industry, the politics of a small country, and a group of people. The majestic and proud stand at the forefront of the times, which moved her.
When she felt that Lu Jing's heart always had a piece of pure land for her, love surged and could not be suppressed. Even if it's the story of Empress E, she doesn't care anymore.
Lu Jing hugged He Mengming in his arms, full of warm fragrance, and kissed her white forehead gently, "Xiao Ming, when the assistant trained by Yuqi is capable enough to work by my side, I will let you and Mingxue leave." time, it should be within a year or two. ”
…
…
The conversation with Mo Jingwen is another scene. After Lu Jing knocked on Mo Jingwen's door, she had just taken a shower and was blowing her hair. The snow-white nightgown on her body makes the delicate and elegant lady look like a sexy goddess under the light.
Mo Jingwen opened the door and let Lu Jing enter the house, picked up the hair dryer, and tilted her head to blow her black hair. The tall jade-breasts and slender legs loom in the white sleep, delicate and sexy. Even though Lu Jing is used to seeing beautiful women, he lost his mind at this moment.
"Lu Jing, it's so late, what are you looking for me?"
"It's not that you are told to work overtime, don't be nervous." Lu Jing sat down and explained his intentions: "Jingwen, I want to keep you working by my side." As long as Hengxin Group keeps up with the pace of Fuyue Industrial Fund, it will not be difficult to restore the scale of your father in the hands of Aunt Fang. ”
"Okay... bar. Mo Jingwen's hesitation lasted less than a second. In fact, her mother had already called her, and she was hesitant, but after Lu Jing's invitation was revealed, she agreed.
After seeing the sea, I didn't have the idea of returning to the river to compete for power.
Hengxin Group is a thing of the past for her.
…
…
"Lu Jing, it's here." The Cadillac stopped in front of a small cottage with a garden. Lu Jing's musings were interrupted by Yu Le.
The villa where Qi Jingyao lives is a small two-story western-style building with a white pointed roof and a khaki body. The verdant shrub garden is neatly manicured.
Qi Jingyao was looking forward to her private garden at this time, and saw Lu Jing and Yu Le getting out of the car and hurriedly greeted her, "Lu Jing, Assistant Yu..., please come in." Saying hello, he let Lu Jing and Yu Le into the house.
"Qi Jingyao, it seems that you are doing well." Lu Jing looked at Qi Jingyao's elegant living room and said with a smile.
Qi Jingyao's life in the United States was funded by him. Liu Yiping is in charge.
"I bought this villa for $800,000. The renovation cost $200,000. Qi Jingyao explained a few words with a smile, and generously entertained Lu Jing and Yu Le. She's handy at these things.
The three of them sat in the living room drinking tea, and soon, they got to the point. Lu Jing said that he was going to push Qi Jingyao to the state legislator in California, and said, "Qi Jingyao, if you have any difficulties, you can raise them." (To be continued......)
