513. Chapter 513 Scene 513: Employees Making Trouble
On this day, on the twelfth floor of Etik Commercial Building in New York, from this floor, the three floors upstairs are the headquarters of the HPN company. In the screening office, the employees were sitting lazily on the chairs. Everyone had a little worried eyes. From time to time, they looked at the conference room with the closed doors over there, and they discussed in a voice:
"It's the little director who filmed "Life Remote Control"..."
"I heard that he bought a TV station to advertise for Apple... I guess our TV station will be transformed into a technology program?"
"Don't think about it anymore... That Chinese person is not here to run a TV station. I got the news, but Sony deliberately asked him to take over and then apply for HPN to go bankrupt... The purpose is to lay off all of us without spending a penny..."
While the screening department employees were discussing the future of the TV station in panic, the atmosphere in the production department was much stranger in another open office. Half of the people in the office hall were sitting in panic and whispering, while more than 200 people squatted on the ground with banners and cardboards written on it: "Sony abandoned employees and maliciously bought and sold HNP to achieve layoffs." "Refused to file for bankruptcy." "Swoe to advance and retreat with HNP~!"
Everyone in the room looked angry and sad, and some people were bowing their heads and wearing various props and costumes, playing as doctors, nurses, zombies, policemen, vampires, flight attendants... It seemed that a huge storm was brewing...
At this moment, in the conference room on the 12th floor, Li Xiaole, his acquisition team, his partners Tom Cruise, and Wagner were all present. Li Xiaole looked at the contract spread out on the conference table and looked at Wat King and others opposite each other.
These bastards were sighing on the surface, but they were filled with uncontrollable pride in their eyes. It seemed that Sony people thought they were fooled, right?
A group of idiots... Li Xiaole sneered again in his heart, and signed his name on the contract with a pen. Wagner took the contract to the other side of the conference table, handed the pen and said, "Gold, it's you."
Sony and Paramount's directors soon signed their names, and Wat King was the last one. He took a deep breath, held the pen and didn't move for a long time, and was fascinated by the contract. After a while, Wagner had to speak and reminded, "King?"
Wat King said "Oh", frowned, and quickly signed his name. In an instant, he seemed to have been aged in his teenage years, and put down his pen with a lonely expression. Although it was an ending that made him feel relaxed, he still couldn't bear it. 11 years have been spent here, and his feelings for this TV station are not all hypocritical. He looked up and looked at Li Xiaole sadly:
"Mr. Li, if you want to fire your employees in the future, you can come to me, I can... I can write a letter of recommendation for employees in the company..."
Will Li Xiaole really treat this ragged TV station well? Wat King understands in his heart that Lianmei is not Sony, and he is afraid that employee strikes will affect other businesses. Li Xiaole can completely fire these employees. Although this will ruin its reputation in the industry, it is better than being dragged down by the decaying machine of HNP to death.
Li Xiaole was surprised by Watt King's performance. In order to show respect, he extended his hand to him sincerely: "Mr. Jin, don't worry, HNP's future will get better and better. I will not fire any employee during the contract period."
Wat King shook his hand with him, barely squeezed out a smile, and said, "I hope so, the company's employees are all very good people, they just lack some opportunities..." He said beautifully, but he was just talking about it. Wat King didn't have any dissatisfaction with Li Xiaole. After all, he was a young and energetic guy. When he took over the company, he would know that managing a large-scale TV station is not an easy task.
"Mr. Lee, I have another request." Wat King cheered up and begged: "Can you... keep the company's logo?"
"This..." Li Xiaole hesitated for a moment. Although Watt King's almost begging eyes were hard to refuse, he still felt heartbroken and shook his head and said, "Jin, I dare not promise you. I will definitely change the company's name and logo, but I promise that I will add the original company's symbol to the new logo."
Changing the company's name and logo is not because it wants to be fun, but to eliminate the decadent image of HNP in the past. Although UP is not very famous, there are always some people who know that they have too many shoddy TV series; the established impression they give people is very cheap.
What he wants to do is a boutique TV station, so changing the company's name and logo is imperative. This is to draw a clear line from the past and represent a new beginning.
Of course, he would still use the logo of the Black Pearl Pirate Ship, but just like Lianmei, every time he acquires a company, he would embroider the other party's logo on the black sail of the island ship. This is not the traditional pirate plundering the ship and hang the other party's chess on the mast, but his kind of respect. Ordinary people may not care about it, but he wants the old employees in the acquired company to see the logo when they see the black pirate ship sailing up in the cinema and TV, and see them represent the glory of the past...
Just as Wat King was lamenting to look at the sky, he saw an HNP employee rushing into the office in panic and said to Wat King:
"Chairman~ Something big happened~"
"Jamie, why are you doing so panic~?" Wat King frowned,
"The people from the production department are having a fuss~? Go and have a look." The employee gasped loudly, looking very panicked.
"Are those people making trouble again? Is there still going to end?" Wat King snorted coldly, but it was wrong to think about it just now. He was no longer the chairman of HNP, so he could only look back and look at Li Xiaole awkwardly.
"Tom, Wagner, please go and have a look first." Li Xiaole thought for a while, and after giving instructions to Wagner and the others, he turned to calmly smiled and said, "Everyone, let's finish the ceremony first." No matter what happened, he should not come forward first, let Wagner explore the truth and make preparations by himself.
When Tom Cruise and Wagner hurried to the outside of the conference room, they saw about 0 people lined up in two rows at the door, black and black blocking the exit, holding cards in their hands that "refuse HNP to file for bankruptcy." "Swear to be with HNP."...
Even more scary people, these people were wearing props and costumes for shooting TV series, those dressed up as doctors and policemen, but among them, there were a group of zombies, vampires, and even Roman soldiers holding spears, which was very terrifying...
Especially when they stood there without saying a word, the silence made people feel even more terrible...
Block them. Many company security guards were facing a big enemy. They formed a wall of humans with nervous faces to block the door of the conference room, fearing that they would rush over to disrupt the signing ceremony. There was a middle-aged man with a tall figure and a deep eye socket, like a middle-aged man who took drugs every day, like an unpinner in front of the protesting employees, pointed at them and scolded:
"Are you all crazy? Do you think that those who pretend to be a fool like this don't have to be fired by the company!? Let me tell you, you have to get out of here once the new boss comes~~ You production department wastes can support your family every day when you are idle every day. Don't you understand? The good days you have to eat free rice..."
Looking at the tense atmosphere on both sides, Wagner and the others immediately understood what was going on. The TV station was acquired and the employees were worried about being fired, so they protested collectively here.
Wagner and Tom Cruise have been working together for many years and know how to divide the work with each other with their eyes. Wagner took the lead in pulling the tall and thin white man. The white man turned around and glared at the thick and tall woman, and was also shocked: "What are you doing?"
Wagner looked at the license plate on his chest coldly and scolded him sternly, "Are you the Human Resources Department Manager? What are your Human Resources Department doing? Have you learned crisis public relations? Will you say scenes? Will they listen to you when you are here!?"
"You are the new boss..." The white man was stunned by Wagner's scolding. Although he didn't know who the tall woman in front of him was, he immediately guessed her identity... He opened his mouth and didn't dare to speak.
"Hello, everyone." Tom Cruise stood in front of the protesting crowd with a smile, raised his hands in the air and smiled:
"I am Tom Cruise of United States. Is there anything you have to do? Which of you is the person in charge? Can you come out to communicate with me? If you want to take photos and sign autographs, I am absolutely willing to serve~" Tom Cruise said while laughing and joking, trying to ease the tension.
However, no one of the more than 0 people spoke, and they stood there quietly without moving. Tom Cruise turned around and made a "trouble" expression to Wagner.
Wagner felt that there was nothing he could do, so he could only call Li Xiaole.
In the conference hall, everyone who learned about the situation was embarrassed. Paramount and Sony's directors were anxious when they heard that their way out was blocked by HNP employees, and they all grabbed Wat King and complained:
"Is there no other outlet? We have something to do tonight~" "Jin, you can handle it, you can't wait." "Don't mess with the media, it will be bad if the reputation of our headquarters is affected. If things get bigger, you will be fully responsible."
