Two hundred and three chapters established the status of the entertainment industry in one fell swoo
Guan Hongsheng was already in Gao Jin's office, reporting to Gao Jin about the affairs of Wansheng Pictures and Golden Elephant Pictures. Gao Jin was scratching his head after listening to the report.
The value of these two companies is really not great. Wansheng Film Company only holds the copyrights of more than 20 films, and only partial rights of the remaining 40-odd films.
Golden Elephant Pictures is even worse. It is not as good as Wansheng Pictures. It only has the full copyright of eight films and the dividend rights of more than 60 films, but 90% of these films are bad.
There are only six employees, and after a comprehensive evaluation, it is only slightly better than the leather bag company.
Guan Hongsheng stopped talking after the report. He had just heard Gao Jin say that this was something that the old man had suppressed. How could he decide to leave it to Mr. Gao? There was no way to comment on this matter.
"Go and talk to them about this matter. The purchase price of each company should not exceed five million. If it exceeds this price, just give up!" Gao Jin said this while rubbing his head.
"Okay" Guan Hongsheng agreed, and he would do whatever Gao Jin instructed him to do.
The two discussed for a while, Gao Jin's phone rang, and Guan Hongsheng left and went to do his own business.
"Gongming, tell me," Gao Jin said.
"Chairman, we have reached an agreement. Yuhang Net Soul Company is willing to sell it for 74 million, including the company's games and all copyrights..."
Ge Gongming reported the matter truthfully.
As early as a week ago, Ge Gongming arrived in Yuhang and began to discuss acquisitions with Yuhang Nethun Company. Nethun Company was currently in an uncomfortable stage of dawdling.
The Three Kingdoms Heroes battle game launched by the company has been popular for several years, but has continued to decline in recent years. The boss Pang Shiheng initially wanted to change the game and invested heavily in reforms.
As a result, it was still half-dead after a few years. After one year, the net profit was only around 3 million, which made Pang Shiheng feel uncomfortable.
Several senior talents were recruited in succession, and these people all proposed reform plans. Without exception, all of them required heavy investment, the recruitment of senior talents, the replacement of equipment, etc.
As a result, Pang Shiheng gave up. Having suffered the loss of large investments, Pang Shiheng no longer planned to invest heavily.
A year passed like this, and profitability dropped again. It happened that Ge Gongming came over and was interested in acquiring, and the two parties immediately entered into substantive negotiations.
After a few days, a tentative agreement was reached. If Gao Jin had no objection to the price, Ge Gongming would sign the acquisition agreement with the cooperation of lawyers from Tongda Law Firm.
"Sign the acquisition contract, and let Pang Shiheng cooperate with you to stabilize the company for a month. You arrange for a few vice presidents to come to the headquarters to meet me, and I will see if they have any value left."
Gao Jin said calmly, chatted with Ge Gongming about the details again and hung up the phone.
"Finally I have acquired one," Gao Jin said to himself, "take your time."
Here, Guan Hongsheng has received a call from Wang Min, Vice President of Perfect World. The two communicated and agreed to meet in the afternoon to discuss in detail.
In the Marriott Hotel in Shenzhen City, Xiang Shousheng signed an acquisition contract with the Shenzhen City Grand Guangming Cinema on behalf of Desheng Property, purchasing the Grand Guangming Cinema for 41 million.
Grand Guangming Cinema is a regional cinema chain with 54 stores and 139 large screens. It is now owned by Desheng Properties.
Ordinarily, Grand Guangming Cinema is not worth the price, but Xiang Shousheng negotiated a cash acquisition with the other party, which was a condition that the other party's shareholders could not refuse.
After the agreement was signed, Deputy General Manager Fang Yichen assumed the role of acting general manager and continued to manage the Grand Guangming Cinema Chain.
Everyone toasted to celebrate, and Xiang Shousheng left with others and rushed to Guangzhou City to start negotiations with representatives of the Pearl River Cinema Line. Time was tight.
When he got off work in the afternoon, Gao Jin received a call from Korn Ferry Account Manager Feng Lina. He had already contacted a group of senior talents and asked when Gao Jin could be interviewed.
"Tomorrow, you can bring them to the company early tomorrow morning." Gao Jin made a decision immediately.
"Mr. Gao, it will be tomorrow afternoon at the earliest. Many people are not in Shangjing City at the moment."
Feng Lina told the truth that the candidates had been selected and communicated with them, but they had not gathered in Shangjing City.
"Then let's do it in the afternoon. You bring them over in the afternoon. I've been in Shangjing City these days. If I have the right people, I'll bring them over directly." Gao Jin opened his mouth and came.
At this moment, Gao Jin has realized his problem. He lacks planning in doing things and just does whatever comes to mind. Now he feels like he is in a hurry.
"Okay, I will take them to see Mr. Gao at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon." Feng Lina had already heard Gao Jin's meaning from Gao Jin's words and knew what to do in the future.
After chatting for a few words, Gao Jin hung up the phone and drove back home.
Feng Lina began to contact those senior talents and asked them to arrive in Shangjing City before 12 noon tomorrow, and interviews would begin in the afternoon.
Everyone who received the call did not dare to neglect. They had already heard people from Korn Ferry introduce the remuneration issue. It was definitely higher than the industry standard, and everyone started to prepare.
As the night passed, many places were busy.
Early the next morning, both Huhu Film and Television and PP Film and Television received calls from Tongda Law Firm to fully acquire the two video websites, asking if they had any plans to sell them.
The bosses of the two companies have begun to seriously think about this issue. Currently, video websites are losing money, but there are financial backers behind those large websites, and they have begun to invest huge sums of money in integration.
Smaller video websites are in trouble. They do not have enough funds to integrate resources, and it is inevitable that their market share will be further squeezed in the next step.
Now someone comes to ask about the purchase price. The bosses behind the two major video websites are tempted. Let's talk about it and sell it if the price is right.
At noon, Tongda Law Firm received a reply that they could conduct a round of exploratory negotiations, and the law firm immediately became busy.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Feng Lina led several people to Xingling Group, and Gao Jin started the interview in person.
From the interview to the end of the afternoon, only two people were left.
The first one is Wei Yanlin, male, 42 years old, with double master's degrees, and is applying for the position of general manager of the Agricultural Research Institute.
Wei Yanlin once worked at the Swickin Agricultural Research Institute in Canada as a researcher, project supervisor, project manager, and deputy general manager of the research institute.
After returning to China, I worked as a supervisor at the Agricultural Research Institute of a college in the northwest of China. There were many shackles. I resigned after working for two years. This time I was introduced by Korn Ferry International.
Gao Jin's interview was very simple. He asked questions with his mouth and asked the stars in his mind to investigate the other party. As long as the information was correct, he would plant a biological bomb and hire him.
The salary has also been renegotiated. Currently, the annual salary of the head of the domestic agricultural research institute is around 300,000 yuan. Gao Jin offered an annual salary of 350,000 yuan. Wei Yanlin definitely has no objection.
You have five days to settle things at home, and you will come over five days later to sign a formal contract and join the company.
There is another person named Huang Boxun, male, 45 years old, who graduated with a master's degree in media from xxx University in Shanghai. He studied in the United States for two years and worked at AMB Cinema in the United States for five years.
After returning to China, I worked for seven years as the deputy general manager of China Cinema Line. When my career reached its peak, it was impossible to take another step forward, so I resigned.
This time, I was recommended by Korn Ferry International.
Gao Jin talked with Huang Boxun for a long time and had in-depth communication on theater chain management. Huang Boxun had his own way and clearly pointed out several shortcomings of the current theater chain development.
It's not that theater chains can't make money, but the current appearance of theater chains is too ugly, which has restricted development.
This view is highly consistent with Gao Jin's. After Xingling's investigation of Huang Boxun was completed and no problems were found, Gao Jin made the decision to hire Huang Boxun.
Of course, biological bombs are standard and must be equipped.
Huang Boxun was only given three days of vacation to go home and settle down. The company was currently in the process of acquiring theaters and Huang Boxun was in great need of his contribution. Three days later, the company signed a formal employment contract.
After officially joining the company, he joined Xiang Shousheng and cooperated with Xiang Shousheng in acquiring theaters and forming a management team.
Huang Boxun agreed immediately. He lived in Shangjing City, and three days were enough to arrange things at home. He shook hands with Gao Jin and left.
Gao Jin communicated with Feng Lina again before going home from get off work.
After returning home and having dinner, Gao Jin told his father about the two film and television companies, "Dad, the acquisition price of five million is not low, what do you think?"
"Seven million!" Gao Yuande said.
Gao Jin nodded without objection and said, "I'll call Guan Hongsheng right away."
The purpose of acquiring these two companies was to repay a favor to my father, and it didn't matter how much it cost.
The call was quickly connected. Gao Jin communicated with Guan Hongsheng and learned about the progress of Guan Hongsheng's negotiations with Perfect World. After finishing his work, he hung up the phone.
"Who do you plan to hand over the helm of your film company?" Gao Yuande asked.
"I haven't thought about it for the moment, but at present, the senior management of many film and television companies are not suitable and they have fallen behind."
"As far as domestic TV dramas are concerned, they are too wordy. Things that normal people can express in one sentence have to be expressed in dozens of sentences."
"A lot of nonsense, seriously affecting the progress of the plot"
"The TV series I want to shoot in the future must absorb foreign models and be streamlined. One season will only have ten or twenty episodes."
"Simplify the nonsense, have a coherent plot, keep up with the special effects, and have an online IQ"
"This type of TV series will be the mainstream of TV series development in the future. Take your time. You will definitely lose money in the first few years. After a few years, a group of suitable directors, screenwriters, actors, special effects, and behind-the-scenes staff will be trained."
"It will take a few years to get back on track."
"ATV's Li Xuejian will arrive in Beijing tomorrow. I will have a good talk with him. ATV must change its thinking and formulate a strategic plan for entertainment that is in line with ours."
"Start by filming TV series on ATV. If there are no qualified talents in Xiangjiang, we will cooperate with major domestic film and television schools to select personnel and send them to ATV to shoot TV series for training."
"Gradually expose those with potential, slowly arrange them into programs, and stabilize them for a few years to meet my needs."
Gao Jin smiled and said his plan. Gao Yuande nodded slowly. Gao Jin's plan was the same as that of Mr. Shao from TVB back then.
I cultivate talents myself and use them myself. In a few years, I will have trained all kinds of stars, directors, screenwriters, and various behind-the-scenes personnel.
Even if you come into contact with me and sign a solo career, you still have to accept my three-point friendship.
Establishing his status in the entertainment industry in one fell swoop.
