Hollywood Domination Chapter 449: Businessmen are ruthless, businessmen are ruthless

"China is the focus of our discussion - just like everyone has done in the past five years, our topic cannot be separated from this country." After clicking on a new page of presentation, Jenny faced the conference table calmly The audience on the other side said, "This group of histograms vividly illustrates the explosive growth of the Chinese market in the past five years, and this group of news confirms that the Chinese government intends to accelerate the process of urbanization as the internal driving force of economic growth , and the migration of a large number of people from the countryside to the city means to us—"

Smiling at a particularly serious white-haired committee member, she continued, "——market, this is our forecast for the expansion of the Chinese market in the next five years, and each year will double the previous year , if it can occupy a place in this market, Dameng will have its own core competitiveness. We hope that with the help of ge, we can find suitable capital in the mainland and establish a new subsidiary through joint ventures, so as to avoid the mainland This is our initial budget to further expand our market share in mainland China.”

"Someone told me that Dameng itself has deep political capital in mainland China, which is one of your advantages over other companies," said a middle-aged man with a thoughtful face, and he scanned the The middle-aged woman sitting at the top glanced, "And you still need ge's help in this regard?"

"There is never too much help from the government at any time." Jenny said, her tone was calm and powerful. "There's no need to leave resources unused, isn't it? The current output of Dameng is still limited by the quota of introductions, which will cause unhelpful internal friction among several major companies. If part of the competition can be avoided, it will also benefit everyone. Dream cooperates with competitors and exchanges benefits. The profits brought by this cooperation will also become the capital of ge in many preferential policies.”

Wearing a decent suit, she took a few steps back and forth, exchanged glances with Sharon Tucker, who was seated at the top, and continued, "It is worth noting that this branch is not only responsible for public relations, It will really produce Chinese-language movies that are only screened in China, and invest in the production of variety shows for multi-tentacle development..."

It is inevitable that bureaucracy prevails within any behemoth. After all, although the management model of a small company is extremely efficient, it is also restricted by the energy of the core people. Just like this time, ge's investment in Dameng, due to the relatively large amount involved, even though it was promoted by group executive Sharon Tucker, it still needs to accept layer after layer of scrutiny. This is also the case for Jenny and Chesa The reason why Leidu is more confident about getting investment from ge—in fact, ge is quite satisfied with their development plan, can they accept their cooperation plan, and hand over all autonomy to Jenny and Cesare, this is the focus of the last statement, and it is precisely because of this that the ge fund investment committee appeared for the first time. In addition to ge's own cash, the ge venture capital fund will also inject capital into this investment, and this Management options will undoubtedly increase the risk of this investment.

"...that's my part," Jenny gestured after turning another page and ending her description of film investments for the next few years, "Now, with your permission, I'd like to According to our division of labor within the company, he will talk about the development and layout of TV dramas and peripherals after the big dream gets investment, which is also extremely important in the layout Part of it, of course, is also very expensive, because this is also a brand new market for us—Cesare.”

"Thank you." Cesare exchanged places with her, and opened the next page of the ppt, "First of all, let me briefly introduce the current domestic TV drama market——"

"Wait a minute." The middle-aged man who asked the question just now said suddenly. He squinted his eyes, looked at the chart on the big screen thoughtfully, and then glanced at Sharon with his chin resting, "Just wait a moment. Wait, let me digest Jennifer's statement just now - the amount of information is a bit large, and, excuse me for my shallow knowledge, I have never seen an Oscar actress give us a statement before, which makes it difficult for me to concentrate."

This sentence obviously enliven the atmosphere, the crowd let out low laughter, and many people changed their postures to be more relaxed. Jenny also showed the effect of the situation, and exchanged a look with Cesare: No matter this' Thor' was prepared by Sharon, the effect of these words was very good, it successfully aroused the sense of vanity of many committee members, and let Jenny's identity as an actress play a role.

"However, having said that, I think my colleagues and I have seen enough powerpoints in our lives that we all understand that all blueprints are drawn, especially for laymen , the transmission of information is doomed to be inefficient. I am afraid that it will take another 100 hours, and I will not be able to understand the excellence of these plans, and GE's think tank can only help us confirm some insignificant details." Middle-aged man—from Judging from the name 'Alan Rosenberg' on the name tag, he should be Jewish. "For me, what I need to understand is not these, whether this plan can make money, whether it is perfect, no, it doesn't matter to my peers-for me, I only care about one thing, Mr. Vijay, Miss Jefferson, that's what I invest in—people."

"Your talents are beyond doubt, and the company's performance speaks for itself. I'm more concerned about - please allow me to say this - more personal issues, Miss Jefferson, I have seen, You and Mr. Vijay have a clear division of labor within the company, so can I see Big Dream as an alliance of two independent companies? After all, your business relationship is not like a general chairman and CEO, but rather like A president's office. After the groupization, how do you plan to position your relationship with Mr. Vijay? Perhaps under the current size of Dameng, everything is running smoothly, but groupization-this is definitely not a simple multiplication relationship , do you still intend to maintain the current division of labor?"

Here comes the inevitable question. Although entrepreneurial teams are very common, more people still hope to see a stable core in the team. The problem with Big Dream is that Jenny, who is more famous, is not in Los Angeles all the year round, and Cesare, who is in charge of administrative affairs, is in the eyes of outsiders. It is also based on marriage. For investors, who is the master and who is the second is their most concerned issue.

"After the expansion of the group's operations, Cesare and I will further divide the labor and combine the advantages of both parties." Jenny showed a calm smile, and said the answer she had prepared before, "Cesare is responsible Administrative affairs, TV series and peripherals - of course, he is the CEO, and I am responsible for market strategy development and film project guidance, but this does not mean that our business does not overlap, Cesare will be responsible for sporadic film projects, and I It will also provide TV drama ideas. There is no problem of poor communication channels and competition for the right to speak between us, you can see us as a whole, a team."

"And the marriage between you and Mr. Vijari will not interfere with your cooperation?"

"Since during the whole process of our love, marriage and divorce, the scale of the big dream has expanded several times than before, and there have been no problems in operation. I think that when the relationship returns to partners and close friends, emotional interference Decisions will be less likely."

"I have to admit, that was my biggest concern before this report," Allen said, smiling. "You know, News Corp. is in turmoil because of Murdoch's divorce, thank God, It's been a few months since your divorce, and it looks like you've both handled it well—in fact, too well—"

The committee members exchanged meaningful glances, Jenny and Cesare exchanged glances, Cesare nodded, and both of them smiled.

"Cesare has always been my closest business partner, the relationship of trust between us is very strong, from the beginning, he stood by my side, and in fact, from marriage to divorce, we have dealt with Very well," said Jenny.

Everyone began to nod, but no one showed any shock—for this group of investment bank executives whose main job is to deal with rich people and entrepreneurs, this level of insinuation is obviously not scary enough. However, Allen's expression was indeed quite satisfied, and he asked curiously, "After so many years of close cooperation, there is no--well--you know, you don't worry--"

"For me and Jennifer, there are many things that are more important than feelings." Cesare replied aloud, his tone clearly implying that this topic is over, and Jennifer apologized to Alan smile.

There was deep laughter in the meeting room, several committee members exchanged glances, and another committee member asked, "After the group expands its operations, do you plan to reduce your energy investment in acting?"

"I will reduce the production appropriately and shoot the film in Los Angeles, but I will not stop filming completely."

"Are you sure you have enough energy for both?"

"That's why I need a partner to help—and I have the best of them, and of course, that's why I'm just the chairman, and besides, it doesn't make sense for the chairman to have too much of a hand in the day-to-day operations."

"So, you think you are ready for expansion and transformation?" Ge’s investment, so what will you do, will you still look for investment and continue to expand? Or will you maintain the status quo and stop thinking about it.”

The eyes of the committee members were all focused on Jenny, and she felt a familiar tremor flash from head to toe, and a certain familiar intuition told her that this was the moment of decision-in the end, they still put the crown of the core person Putting it on top of her head, can she demonstrate enough qualifications for the commissioners to accept a five-year agency contract, and will she be a qualified leader? Will she be able to convince the committee that she's capable of juggling company and acting? It is almost a miracle to control an acting business and an expanding company at the same time, controlling a CEO with such a strong temperament like Cesare, but how can she create a small miracle here and capture the breath of the committee members?

Jenny took a deep breath, feeling the weight of tens of billions hanging on the tip of her tongue, just like every important moment, time slowed down and became a visible river, and she could clearly hear her heartbeat, 'Bang, bang, bang, bang', powerful and steady, but she didn't feel any panic at this moment.

This is just a game, play it seriously, but don't pay too much attention to the result.

"Actually, in three hours, Cesare and I will go to a party in San Francisco," she said, straightening her back and looking directly at Ellen, confident and calm. "At the party, we will contact the vice president of Netflix, Mike Kyle. It is he who is responsible for combining it technology to develop Netflix's self-made TV drama content. ——Dream intends to poach him to be in charge of the TV drama's network marketing, about this part The strategic layout is also reflected in the third 22 pages of the statement.”

There was a sound of page turning in the room, Allen adjusted his glasses, and read aloud, "Set up a sub-TV station based on Internet-on-demand, with a budget of 500 million U.S. dollars——"

Jenny maintained eye contact, with a smile on her lips, and she said calmly, "And Alan, what I can tell you is that no matter what the outcome of this meeting is, the trip will not be cancelled."

The committee members exchanged glances, as if they were judging how true her words were. As for Alan, he still maintained eye contact with Jenny. This shrewd middle-aged man slowly showed a smile on his face It’s like the sun breaking through the clouds——

"I have no other questions." He said cheerfully, "Miss Jefferson, I know you are a legend in the film industry-you always seem to make miracles happen, and this time, my chips are on you too side."

This sentence ignited a new round of low-pitched discussions, and Sharon Tucker asked as a moderator, "Are there any other questions?"

After waiting for a while, she nodded to Jenny and Cesare, "Ge will inform you of the results within a few working days, thank you very much for coming."

"Thank you very much for your time." Jenny and Cesare also shook hands with the committee members one by one. She brought the set, right—"

Soon, she came to Sharon. This female executive who had been optimistic about Dameng from the very beginning and pushed forward the entire investment plan was not overly polite. She just shook Jenny vigorously. hand, and said softly, "Well done."

Given her a smile, Jenny and Cesare walked out of the meeting room together. She let out a long breath and slumped her shoulders until the door closed behind her.

"Did we get it?" She was half talking to herself, half asking.

"I think we've got it," Cesare said, his tone a bit tense. "You performed very well just now."

Jenny and him looked at each other, and both could see the excitement in the eyes of both of them——Cesare usually wouldn't put his compliments into words. However, the more such a moment is, the more Jenny hopes to treat it calmly. The real celebration can wait until the contract is signed, and what needs to be considered now is—

"In that case, now we should also consider—" She did not respond to Cesare's compliment, or make a few usual teasing jokes, but took a deep breath and said calmly, "Robert and Disney problem."

From Cesare's expression, she also saw his approval: After getting the investment from Ge, the former benefactor Disney has lost its use value to Dameng, how to end the relationship between the two , this is indeed a question that requires careful consideration.
