Manhattan.
Gisele · Bündchen and Alessandra · Ambro got off the taxi and walked hand in hand into the apartment building where they lived, talking and laughing to the mansion on the top floor, but found that Miranda Kerr had returned and was in the kitchen What to prepare for.
Change the high heels, glance at the figure in the kitchen, Gisele can not help but whip, this situation is really rare. Alessandra is even more quiet: "Can she eat it?"
"Hi, you are back," Miranda turned her head and greeted the two girls enthusiastically after hearing the movement in the living room.
The two women responded indifferently, Miranda didn't mind, turned around and continued to be busy.
Today, Eric is coming, she made up her mind to show it well, striving to impress Eric and let her go back to Los Angeles.
March was rushed to New York by Eric in March. Miranda was full of little emotions. She did not want to live with Gisele and Alessandra, nor did she want to be watched like a child by Cindy · Crawford commissioned by Eric.
However, afterwards, although she knew that it might be Cindy or Eric intentionally, she was scared.
Miranda was reluctant to live with Gisele and Alessandra, and Cindy temporarily let her live in her own apartment and took good care of her.
However, since you want to be professional model, you can't talk about it.
So Cindy took her to Eliteprofessional model Brokerage Firm for an interview, along with dozens of girls who were collected by Elite scouts from all over North America.
Because Cindy took her personally, at the interview site, she noticed that the dozens of girls watched Cindy like a queen. She felt quite proud in her heart, and she would certainly be able to easily reach the status of Cindy in the future.
It may be due to Cindy. While waiting, many girls deliberately talked to her. Some people also recognized that she was one of the four tennis girls in "Casino Royale". They also appeared in TV series of Disney Channel and asked her Why did you come to Elite's professional model interview?
Miranda cannot naturally say that she was annoyed because Eric was rushed to New York, so proud said that she was not interested in acting and wanted to try the professional model profession.
Then she felt that some girls looked at her like idiots, and another girl said half-jokingly, "I have only heard of trying to be a professional model of Actor".
Miranda certainly knows the truth, but his face can't show it yet, and his heart is naturally depressed.
She took a photo with a group of girls and walked around cat walk for a long time. She finally got some "special" treatment. EliteManager who participated in the interview explained the interview results to her personally: her height is low and her face is not three-dimensional. Feeling, cat walk is average, without vocational training, the overall qualifications do not have the potential of High-Fashion professional model, and can only take the pure commercial professional model route.
Before the advent of Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, a professional model, if you want to reach the level of supermodel, you must first be able to obtain the approval of Prada, Tiffany, Chanel and other high-street fashion brands. Only by cooperating with these brands has you improved your style. In order to gain further recognition in the fashion circle, and step by step to the sought-after supermodel status.
However, Miranda's appearance and qualifications are basically not related to high street fashion.
This means that without any background opportunities, Miranda cannot become a supermodel model in his life, and can only make an ordinary commercial professional model, which is actually the kind of clothing display, print advertising, auto show. Business performances, etc. can do anything but basically have no chance to get ahead. Of course, commercial professional model is not impossible to achieve the ultimate, Cindy is even one. Moreover, in the original time and space, although there are two decades apart, the upper trajectories of Cindy and Miranda are almost exactly the same.
In view of Miranda ’s situation, Elite can only give her a training contract similar to an intern. The company provides accommodation and a fixed monthly salary of 1000USD. After signing, Miranda must receive Elite ’s regular training and complete the work provided by the company. .
Miranda was even more angry at the time, realizing that this might be intentional by Cindy or Eric, and the girl also had a rebellious mentality.
Okay, what do you say, that's how it is.
Cheerfully signed the contract, and then a manager of Cindy and Elite took her to a place where she might work in the future. For example, one stop is a one-day auto show, changing every day. Dozens of sets of clothes tossed to the tear-off fitting scene, and live props laid around like dolls in the new season of recording "Project Runway" ...
In the evening, when the manager of Cindy and Elite took Miranda to the Manhattan West Village area, they saw that they would live in a building of less than sixty square meters with seven other girls who were not much worse than her. In the old apartment, Miranda finally collapsed.
I was taken home by Cindy for a night's sleep. When I got up the next day, Miranda didn't mention anything about Elite's work, and Cindy didn't mention it again. It seemed that any matter doesn’t have happened yesterday.
After having breakfast, Cindy took Miranda to the IMGprofessional model Brokerage Firm where she was, took out the already prepared contract, and signed the girl under her own manager name. Then helped her move to the apartment of Gisele and Alessandra.
Due to age restrictions, Miranda ca n’t get too much work now. In the past few months, Cindy has not treated her as a child at all, often brought her around, listened more, watched more, Milan Da felt more and more that in the lounge waiting for the interview, those girls looked really right in her eyes. If possible, she wanted to look at herself with idiot eyes.
So, when I heard from Cindy that Eric would come over today, the girl rushed back to the apartment immediately and wanted to please Eric and return to Los Angeles. Anyway, she is no longer interested in being professional model.
After a week of rest in Eath Hampton, and coming to Manhattan, Eric first faced the internal personnel issues of ABC Group.
This issue has nothing to do with infighting and layoffs, but it is also quite tricky. As the ABC Group has become stronger and stronger in recent years, naturally companies have begun to have an interest in the management of the ABC Group. After all, even if Eric can come up with countless brilliant ideas, but if there is no excellent management team to execute, Firefly Group It is impossible to develop so rapidly.
The person who wants to pry the corner of the wall is Comcast, and the target is CEOSteve · Bourne Stan of ESPNTV Station.
After signing the 9billion USD huge broadcast rights contract with the United States Rugby Union, ESPN ’s business status has not been dragged down at all, but it has become more and more popular. With the increase in cable TV sharing and advertising revenue, this year is only ESPNTV Station, which will be The entire group provides more than 500 million USD net profit.
In control of ESPNTV Station for more than ten years, Steve · Bourne Stan can be said to make this small TV Station, which had less than 300,000 users, the first basic cable station of North America with more users than 90 million.
In any company, it is necessary to achieve such outstanding results and get a promotion. Eric will not allow the company's talent to be lost.
However, the current situation of Firefly Group is that the entire management system is very stable.
Under Eric, Katzenberg and Frank · Wells are in charge of the entire Firefly Group, and are mainly responsible for the group's film and television entertainment business. In the TV business, after Tom Murphy retired, Robert · Eiger and Metropolitan ABC's veteran Stephen Burke served as the CEO of ABC Group and Chairman, respectively, responsible for Firefly Group's TV business. Further down is the person in charge of the specific branch, such as Kenneth Horn of the new line Film Industry, Robert Thompson of Broadway Publishing, Stan Winston of the digital field, Annie · Sweeney of AETV Network, Steve of ESPNTV Station Bourne Stan, Barry · Weiss of Firefly Records, etc.
The various departments and subsidiaries controlled by the top executives of these companies form the Firefly Group with more than 120,000 employees in global.
Not to mention the others, according to the achievements made by Steve · Bourne Stan and his current level, and then go up, you must at least reach the position of ABCChairman. However, none of the people above him are mediocre who can be replaced, and these people are unlikely to leave and retire in the short term, which is more embarrassing.
Eric is not a king, it is impossible for him to be added to the lord. Simply raising the salary is not too attractive for managers like Steve · Bourne Stan who want to get more room to play.
On the other hand, the position provided by Comcast to Steve · Bourne Stan is also very attractive, chief operating officer.
The control of Comcast is still in the hands of the founder Ralph · Roberts and his son Ralph · Roberts, who are the company's Chairman and CEO.
The position of chief operating officer of Steve · Bourne Stan is equivalent to Chairman of Comcast Group. He is directly responsible for CEORoberts and his father and son. He is in charge of the operation of the entire Comcast wired TV Network network. The Comcast has much more room to play than the ESPNTV Station that has almost been developed to the extreme.
Firefly does not have the position of chief operating officer. According to the management authority, the functions of the chief operating officer are respectively responsible for Katzenberg and Frank · Wells.
It is impossible for Eric to suddenly set up such a similar position in order to retain Steve · Bourne Stan. The stability of the Firefly Group management system means that the distribution of power is in a very harmonious balance. Depriving power from the original manager to give another new manager will only cause the original management system to be unbalanced.
However, if you focus on the entire Firefly system, there may be a position that will be vacant for Steve · Bourne Stan, that is AOL. The management skills demonstrated by Steve · Bourne Stan are sufficient for the position of AOLCEO. There are many similarities between the two companies, and there is no such thing as a mountain.
In fact, most of the managers of United States's giant enterprises can't be regarded as "professional counterparts". If the scale of the enterprise is large enough, the requirements for managers are no longer professional skills, but one person's management philosophy.
Of course, now that everything has not settled, it is still unknown whether the control of AOL can be taken back from the Steve · Kes team. But in order to avoid Steve · Bourne Stan being robbed, Eric still has to stabilize the opponent in advance.
Upper West Side ABCHeadquarters, the time is close to work. Eric and Steve · Bourne Stan who came from ESPNHeadquarters in Bristol, Connecticut, have been chatting for an afternoon.
Steve · Bourne Stan is already excited about the positions created by Comcast, but at the same time, some are looking forward to controlling AOL, an emerging Internet technology company with a more rapid upward trend. Therefore, the two discussed in great detail. Eric's setting of the future development direction of AOL has also been recognized by Steve · Bourne Stan.
Finally, Steve · Bourne Stan said: "Eric, in this case, I can wait a month before replying to Comcast. However, if you cannot obtain control of AOL, I am afraid I will officially submit my resignation letter . "
Eric nodded his head and said what he could say. If he couldn't keep it, it would be impossible. But he couldn't help saying: "Actually, Steve, even if it fails this time, but if you are willing to wait another two years, I can guarantee that Firefly is destined to buy another telecom operator, I can still give it to you Management. "
Steve · Bourne Stan smiled and shook his head gently, said: "Eric, I am very grateful for your trust in me, I also know that you will definitely succeed in the future. However, I ca n’t do anything for this Promising promise, give up the opportunity in front of me. "
Eric can only regret, in fact, with the departure of Jorma · Ollila over Nokia, there is also a Nokia Chairman, which can be handed over to Steve · Bourne Stan.
It is just that the span of the two industries of media and telecommunications is a bit too large. Apple once hired John · SCalley from the beverage company as CEO to lead the company's decline, and Eric did not take the risk. What's more, Headquarters of Nokia is in Northern Europe, and Steve · Bourne Stan is unlikely to accept this position.
To agree on this, Eric got up and reached out to Steve · Bourne Stan again: "So, let ’s have dinner together, I ’ve already made a reservation."
"Of course," Steve · Bourne Stan reached out and gripped Eric tightly.
The two greeted several other senior executives of Headquarters and left ABCHeadquarters together to rush to a top restaurant in the Rockefeller center of Midtown.
After dinner, Eric personally asked the driver to send Steve · Bourne Stan to the hotel where he stayed, and then hurried back to the three girls in the penthouse on Madison Avenue with a slight drink.
