428 Beauty and the Beast

No matter what kind of cooperation, the amount of cooperation and investment required by this iron mine is in the unit of 100 million US dollars, such a large-scale cooperation plan, in the global mining market, can also be arranged, such negotiations, if it goes well, it may take half a year, if it does not go well, it is normal for a few years or even longer, after all, in reality, there are many such things.

Zhou Jiayang also immediately set up a professional team to negotiate with various mining companies, some of which were former British ghosts within Hutchison, and now, Hutchison Capital has begun to radiate to Europe and the United States, and these people can be regarded as useful.

For this matter, Chen Zhiwen is not in a hurry, because industries like games and electronics industries need to seize time, because if you miss half a year, you may miss a lot of golden opportunities, even if it is Red Bull, you also need to pay attention to speed, because when there is no monopoly formed, many giants such as Liangle have the opportunity to overtake success with huge capital and perfect channels, and as for other real estate industries, they also have their own time requirements.

But this iron ore is already its own in terms of legal rights and interests, even if it is three or five years later, it doesn't matter, the price of iron ore in the future will still rise steadily, and only after 2006 will it rise rapidly.

In this case, Chen Zhiwen naturally needs to consider the overall situation, the most important thing is not how much money can be sold, but to be able to take this opportunity to squeeze into the mining development ship, and when the right time comes in the future, he can expand Hehuang Mining through mergers and acquisitions.

After the discovery of a giant iron ore in Hong Kong, the popularity of Hutchison Mining has dropped for a while, after all, this is only the income of a large consortium in Hong Kong, and it has almost no effect on Hong Kong locals.

And Chen Zhiwen also ushered in another legendary CEO of the 20th century who worked for himself: Michael Eisner.

The vice president of Paramount, after agreeing to the invitation to join Chen Zhiwen, decided to serve as the CEO of Disney, and came to Hong Kong today because he has been in Disney for a month, and after having a basic understanding of the company, he came to communicate with the boss appropriately to facilitate the understanding of the follow-up development plan.

"How does it feel to be the CEO of Disney for a month?" Chen Zhiwen personally made a cup of coffee and handed it to Eisner.

"Thank you." Michael Eisner said: "Eric, I have to say that Disney is completely rotten now, much worse than I imagined, and many of these things are simply unreasonable.

Throughout the company, many people have signed free work agreements, and as a result, many people can't come 2 days a week, and there is no way to supervise what they are working on?

In the two parks, many employees are also holding the mentality of providing for the elderly, mixing day by day, ignoring many customers' inquiries and even ignoring them, as well as abusing and complaining about customers, even if I know that I go to investigate, the health of many places is not good.

There is also the film and television department, a normal Hollywood film company, under normal circumstances, except for some capable supporting actors, basically will not sign a work agreement with ordinary people, they are all temporarily found when needed, sign a short-term contract according to the film contract, and dissolve after the film is over, these people can also go to work in other film companies, so that they are also free, and we can also easily control costs.

But that's not the case with Disney, they actually signed long-term agreements with a lot of people, and now Disney's movies are not very good, these people don't have anything to do every day, but we still have to pay them tens of millions of salaries a year.

If it were a normal situation, I would have fired these people immediately, and we could have signed a contract with the Ministry of Commerce, up to 1%, which made me a little bit at a loss to know what to do, so I could only wait and see how I could make an example. ”

"If Disney isn't so bad, how can I, a Chinese, be able to buy it." Chen Zhiwen shook his head with a smile and said.

Before the acquisition of Disney, Chen Zhiwen probably knew some of the main problems of Disney, which can only be described in two words: the worst.

Almost every department has problems of corruption, incompetence, and equality, and after the death of Walt Disney, the second generation of the Disney family was too wasteful to understand the operation of such a large company, and refused to hand it over to professional managers, so they had to meddle themselves.

And a family is not united, everyone has their own abacus, for their own interests, annexing the rights and interests of the company, and there are all kinds of infighting, and at the same time, because of the lack of ability, the management is very conservative.

It is said that the decline of Disney is because young people don't like Mickey Mouse, but in fact, in the original history, after Michael Eisner's ten years of operation, Mickey Mouse has become the favorite cartoon image among contemporary children, and the most fundamental reason for this is that there is no innovation.

It is said that the decline of Disney is because young people don't like Mickey Mouse, but in fact, in the original history, after Michael Eisner's ten years of operation, Mickey Mouse has become the favorite cartoon image among contemporary children, and the most fundamental reason for this is that there is no innovation.

Even if it's not a new cartoon character, it's also Mickey Mouse, and there must be a constant stream of new anime and new stories to attract users, but obviously the second-generation Disney doesn't have this ability, they will just lie in the great achievements created by the first-generation Disney, eating the dividends left behind, and then the dividends are eaten up, and they start to operate in debt, and then until now.

In the original history, many of Disney's foreign surnames left, and if it weren't for Michael Eisner's efforts to turn the tide, Disney might not really live to the 90s.

"But even if you buy it, these problems still exist, you can't, you can't spend money on subsidies all the time." Michael Eisner said.

"Since we have promised the Ministry of Commerce, it is impossible to breach the contract, in these two years, you will first dismiss 1% of the people according to our authority, try to take your time, deter others, not to mention how much they can contribute to the company, but at least you need to do your own thing." Chen Zhiwen said: "This can be regarded as the price of the acquisition, but in the past two years, you can also arrange people to observe all the people and assess the basic information. ”

"All dismissals, such a large number of layoffs, I am afraid it will cause chaos within the company." Michael Eisner thought for a moment and said. Although many people are messing around, they don't really do nothing, they can only say that they can do things, but they don't do it carefully, they don't take it seriously, they can be simple and so on, but they can be regarded as a part of the company's internal operation, it doesn't matter if there are a few less, but if there are too many, it will definitely affect the company.

"So we need to prepare in advance, such as recruiting more people, as long as these people are willing to work hard, then focus on training, and in these two years, slowly let them take over the jobs of those who are messing around, and slowly empty these people." Chen Zhiwen said.

"In that case, the cost is quite a lot." Michael Eisner reminded.

"It doesn't matter, we have to take a long-term view, even if we raise these people for nothing, we have to slowly let people who have the ability and responsibility to do all kinds of things in the company, so as to ensure that in a few years, Disney can come out of the quagmire." Chen Zhiwen said that he doesn't care about a little money, what he cares about is that Disney can return to normal as soon as possible, in the original history, it took Eisner almost 5 years to make Disney turn a profit, and 10 years to return Disney to the previous peak.

However, the difference is that Eisner at that time had the right to directly lay off employees on a large scale, but not now, therefore, Chen Zhiwen must ensure that Eisner can operate the company according to his own ideas, and those burdens need to be borne by Chen Zhiwen, the boss, which is equivalent to a bank, because of bad debts and it is difficult to move an inch, if the boss is not short of money, he can completely strip the bad debts, and the rest will be handed over to the capable professional managers.

Anyway, after two years, you can directly lay off employees, and doing so now can be regarded as preparing human resources in advance, and it can be regarded as a necessary operation.

"Well, if that's the case, it will be a lot more convenient on my side, if this part of the people is really not good, just just empty them, and then recruit the right people." Michael Eisner nodded.

"So the problem now is that we still need a lot of money, otherwise, there is no way for the gods to come, the two parks need a lot of money, the same goes for animation creation, and there are other businesses, all of which are the same." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said: "I can inject 200 million US dollars, but this money is not much for the entire Disney, especially if you still need reform, then it would be good to spend a year, so, this 200 million US dollars, my idea is that you need to use it to make more money." ”

"What does Chen Sheng mean by making movies?" Michael Eisner guessed what the boss meant, he can make a lot of money quickly in a short time, in addition to financial operations, there is only one thing left to make movies, which is the specialty of Hollywood companies, and Disney is the same, but it's too wasteful, no good movies have been made in the past ten years, and the ranking has reached the last place in Hollywood, if it weren't for the historical background, it would have fallen out of one of the top 8 Hollywood giants.

"Yes, making a new movie is also Disney's best anime movie, if you can rely on a movie to achieve success, not only can you get a lot of income, but you can also make a new IP, and you can also increase Disney's internal confidence, so that in a short period of time, it is enough to maintain Disney's daily operations." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, now Disney, the entire group loses more than 100 million US dollars a year, and it takes a long time to change so many loss-making departments, and the most efficient way is to make a quick buck first to alleviate the company's decline.

"What's that movie?" Eisner asked.

"Look at this." Chen Zhiwen handed over a book, and Eisner took it and looked at it, it was "Beauty and the Beast" by the famous French writer Charl Bello.
