Turner and Michael's surprised expressions were as if they had seen aliens with their own eyes, and they both couldn't help laughing wildly at the same time. The irony in them made Tielong's eyes flash with viciousness again.
"Hahaha! Xiao Ran doesn't know anything about business!" Both of them laughed wildly. This was the funniest joke they had ever heard. They dared to swear on their lives. A person who didn't understand business could actually create the largest business in the world.
It's so funny that someone can build wealth from scratch in ten years.
However, looking at Tie Long's very serious expression, they realized that this was not necessarily a joke, and gradually stopped laughing. Tie Long stepped on the expensive carpet in the room to vent his hatred, but tried not to show it.
That hatred: "In your investigation of Xiao Ran, is there any data showing that he personally executed any business?"
Turner and Michael lived up to Tie Long's expectations and quickly started searching their memories. What frightened them was that in the past ten years, Xiao Ran had indeed no record of participating in business operations or specific business operations, at least in their information.
There is none.
"I think you two must have affirmed Wei Dongling's business genius. So, now we may be able to understand why Xiao Ran must talk to Wei Dongling and other professionals before making a big move!" Tie Long said.
He just spat it out word for word, with a hint of resentment in his expression: "The reason why Xiao Ran did this is because he knows nothing about business, at least that's what I think."
Turner and Michael's expressions turned pale. If what Tie Long said was true, it would be absolutely unacceptable to them. A person who doesn't understand business can create the greatest wealth in the world, and can repeatedly defeat all opponents in the mall.
, apart from using the word genius to describe it, they really can’t use other words to describe it.
"Yes, Xiao Ran is indeed good at business strategy, but this definitely does not mean that he understands business operations. If he loses Wei Dongling, he will lose his own hands. At that time, even if he has a brain, he will not have a cooperative hand to replace him.
Achieve the goal!" Tie Long said the last sentence extremely decisively.
In fact, Tie Long just suspected that Xiao Ran did not understand business. After all, Xiao Ran's information did not show that this guy had attended any business-related schools. Coupled with other circumstances, he came to this very ridiculous conclusion. In fact,
He himself didn't quite believe in this conclusion. The reason why he brought it up was to increase the confidence of Turner and Michael.
Turner and Michael's thoughts will naturally not be mentioned. The Phantom Empire has greatly threatened the existence of the six major Hollywood companies. Disney is the most miserable. Phantom Animation and Pixar have almost completely dominated animation in the past few years.
movies, especially the former.
Moreover, Phantom has vigorously developed its theme park business in the past few years. It has built several theme parks in Asia and Europe, and it is planning to enter the United States. Disney was affected by this, and its performance last year fell compared to five years ago.
At least 200%, Michael's position is almost difficult to maintain.
For Turner, he was not necessarily happy. Xiao Ran was a nightmare to them. He could not even imagine that from Piao Astronomy, he would soon be in the world with his rich experience and some unheard of programs.
It occupies a certain position in the North American television market. Moreover, Warner Films' leading position has been repeatedly knocked off its throne in the past few years, causing the stock price to fall a lot.
Several other companies were even more miserable. Not only could they not beat Phantom, they often even lost to the three major companies of Tianluo, Debao and Taihang. The old fox was the old fox. Both of them looked at Tie Long calmly: "Tell me, you
What do you think we should do?”
Tie Long didn't say anything, he just waved his hand fiercely and made a false move, his meaning couldn't be more clear. Turner and Michael still looked expressionless, they were both thinking about this possibility. Such a thing is
If you can't get burned, if you can avoid using violence, it's still worth considering: "Are there other ways, such as poaching?"
As soon as Michael's words came out of his mouth, he knew that he was wrong, a big mistake. Wei Dongling had a net worth of tens of billions of dollars, what could they use to dig into it? Turner's assets were now far inferior to Wei Dongling's, so what could they use to dig into it?
If it weren't for Michael's extremely face-saving character, Tie Long would definitely burst out laughing. He felt that Michael must be used to poaching people, so he said it smoothly. With a faint sneer: "Wei Dongling and Xiao Ran have an excellent friendship.
Legend has it that Xiao Ran wants to give Wei Dongling more shares, but Wei doesn't even want it! What can he use to dig for it?"
I have to admit that this secretly sarcastic remark hurt the old classmate. Turner was secretly amused and quickly turned his head. He thought that this was really like a mouse pulling a tortoise. For Wei Dongling, he thought that maybe the only way was to
Only Tie Long proposed it!
Why not point the arrow at Xiao Ran? Xiao Ran is the richest man in the world. If something happened to him, the sensation caused would be unimaginable. However, Wei Dongling is far behind...
However, he didn't think he needed to do it himself, and he wasn't even willing to give orders. After thinking for a moment, the cunning fox found his scapegoat, and his eyes flickered to Tie Long.
Wei Dongling was in a very happy mood, completely unaware that there was an arrow of conspiracy pointing at him. This time he could finally leave some matters at the headquarters to Xiao Ran. This kid's toothy and malicious imagination imagined that Xiao Ran was exhausted by work,
I couldn't help but feel so good.
Unfortunately, one of Wei Dongling's two right-hand assistants stayed in Hong Kong to handle some work on his behalf. It seemed that his plan could not be achieved after all. However, that was all Wei Dongling thought. If Xiao Ran was really asked to handle it,
With those things, he bet that the company would be in chaos within three days, which was why he kept his assistant.
Sometimes Wei Dongling often thinks with regret that a guy like Xiao Ran who is good at strategy, no, conspiracy, if he is proficient in business operations, he will definitely be a perfect business figure. However, maybe it is because of his talent in movies
, Xiao Ran must have been deprived of his talent for actual business operations by God!
From 1986 to 1997, he and Xiao Ran have been fighting side by side for eleven years. During these eleven years, Xiao Ran has experienced countless crises, big or small, and Phantom has also experienced countless crises. Through their joint efforts, they have been lucky.
I struggled to get over it, and the bitterness of it was truly unimaginable to outsiders.
He thought that he had indeed found a free space for himself like his previous ideal, allowing him to unleash all his abilities. Xiao Ran gave him a broad enough space, and he thought that at this point, he was very grateful to Xiao Ran.
, I am afraid that no board of directors of any large company in the world can be as lenient as Phantom.
If you say that Wei Dongling doesn't care about money at all, it is definitely a lie. Money and status have indeed brought him a lot of benefits and a very different sense of superiority. This is particularly obvious when he talks about investments with certain countries. But.
He definitely did not regard money as more important than anything else. This may have something to do with both Xiao Ran and Fang Xiaoqiang. At least Fang Xiaoqiang and Xiao Ran have such personalities, and sometimes they have to admit that personality infection exists.
He couldn't help but lament the past. He had grown from a young man who couldn't find a satisfying job and was always complaining to a powerful person in the business world today. Everything has changed so much. Looking back now, many things have changed.
They all seemed very interesting.
Xiao Ran will retire soon. He is the only person besides Lin Qingxia who knows Xiao Ran's thoughts. After so many years, he knows that Xiao Ran doesn't like his current life very much, especially when Xiao Ran's power has almost reached its peak.
It all seems very boring.
Therefore, he very much agrees with Xiao Ran's idea of retiring, and he himself wants to find an opportunity to retire and enjoy a happy life. However, Xiao Ran can retire, but he cannot retire for the time being, because Phantom has not found a suitable successor.
The two most suitable candidates now are Wei Dongling's two assistants, but Wei Dongling still feels that these two guys lack Xiao Ran's strategic skills.
However, this is obviously very helpless. It is not easy to take charge of a super empire worth more than 300 billion US dollars. Fortunately, Xiao Ran does not plan to completely retire, but controls everything in a semi-retired manner. He
He thought that as long as he had ten years, he would be able to cultivate the right candidate. However, in the end, he still did not expect that more than ten years later, the person in charge of Phantom would be Xiao Ling, a little girl who was regarded as a cute baby by everyone.
Now, Xiao Ran is paving the way for retirement. As long as July 1st passes, everything will be under control. In order to arrange and arrange all this, Xiao Ran and he have been preparing for two years. This time they will have a draw.
The world.
As long as this battle is needed, Phantom will be able to establish its well-deserved dominance in the entertainment media. Wei Dongling himself has also confirmed that he will officially retire in five years and hand over the work to one of his two assistants.
Wei Dongling came to the United States now with Xiao Ran's intention, in order to deal a heavy blow to the six major companies and plant a deeper seed for the collapse of the North American film industry. Within ten years at most, this seed will surely be able to quickly fall under the control of Phantom.
It will sprout and grow until the American film industry collapses. At that time, perhaps Hong Kong films’ wish to monopolize the world will be realized.
What needs to be done now? Wei Dongling thought for a moment. The most important thing Xiao Ran asked him to do was to raise the salary to 40 million US dollars again. He smiled slyly. In fact, it was obviously not difficult to do such a thing, but it was not.
It would be appropriate for Phantom or Universal to come forward and do it.
The remuneration is high, but the income may not necessarily be high, and the result will be that the remuneration of other filmmakers must be reduced. In Hollywood, apart from the high remuneration of famous filmmakers, the remuneration of other ordinary actors and second- and third-rate actors is already very low.
The gap between rich and poor has completely gone to the extreme. If it continues to rise, it will collapse sooner or later.
This time, he just wanted to give a subtle push, because it was inconvenient for Universal to take action, otherwise others would definitely doubt Phantom's intentions. After thinking about it, he decided to follow Xiao Ran's predetermined method.
Start a fight and let other companies take action on their behalf.
It is not easy for other local companies to fall into such a trap, and the most powerful target is Colombia, which is controlled by Sony. After thinking about it for a while, Wei Dongling looked through some of the films that Universal was preparing, and quickly determined a film that was about to start filming in the second half of the year.
.
It was an action drama. Han Long was sure that the drama was promising, so it was decided to be a big production. However, the list of leading actors had not yet been selected. Wei Dongling thought for a while, then looked at another information, and found out
This information contains a list of actors who plan to take on roles with other companies in the near future.
The most eye-catching name is Cruise, and Sony tried to ask him to star in a romance film. The price offered was 35 million, which is already the highest price at present. Wei Dongling sent Han Long to assist him
The person asked: "This Cruise, has he signed a contract with Sony?"
The answer he got was not yet. Cruise was just negotiating the deal with Columbia. Wei Dongling thought for a moment. He was not familiar with movies. Before coming, Xiao Ran told him that the most feared thing in the industry is this kind of appearance.
The situation with crabs.
Just like in the past few years, Xiao Ran instructed Universal to raise Bruce's salary to 30 million. If the first one appears, other actors of the same level will definitely demand a raise. Therefore, as long as there is one, it will be difficult to restrain it.
Going forward, what Wei Dongling needs to do is not to push with all his strength, but to use a little force to make this damn salary exceed the original number, and then the market will naturally increase the number.
Since he wants to do it, he might as well let Sony be the scapegoat. Wei Dongling thought about it and soon decided to compete with Colombia for Cruise, and use the competition to force Colombia to increase its price.
Cruise was very surprised. He didn't expect that Universal was willing to pay him 36 million to make a movie. This was a remuneration that broke the current highest market price. However, he was still a little hesitant. After all, Columbia was very sincere.
I'm talking to him, and this love drama is tailor-made for him.
The person who was talking to Cruise was a producer sent by Universal. In fact, after Xiao Ran took over Universal, he never considered changing the Hollywood system. In his opinion, instead of making his opponents better, it is better to make them better.
His opponent continued this system, so not only did he fail to bring over the Hong Kong system, he also continued to add fuel to the fire, using the reason that star salaries were too high as an excuse to lower the salaries of other actors and filmmakers. All of this can make Hollywood move towards
