Because Chen Feng had to go to work, he did not accompany Guo Mengyao around for the next two days. However, after get off work in the evening, Chen Feng went back to the lakeside villa to spend the night.
In the past two days, Chen Feng basically spent time in the planning department, because this is his old territory and he is familiar with it. He also directly participated in some event planning of the planning department and gave a lot of his own suggestions.
, which was unanimously praised by the planning department.
In addition, he, the operations director, of course also visited other departments, mainly the sales department, chatted with a few gold medal salesmen, and encouraged new employees.
Although he had no experience as a company leader before, he had never eaten pork and had seen pigs run away. Now he is very comfortable and proficient in being a leader.
But these two days have been a major personnel earthquake for Dianchuang Cultural Planning Company.
The day after the layoffs were announced, the company laid off 20 people. Basically, they were all nepotistic employees left over from the previous company, and their personal work abilities were relatively average.
Before noon on the third day, each department also submitted its layoff list. After Chen Feng and Liu Meijun reviewed and interviewed individual employees on the list, except for a few people who continued to stay, the rest were also laid off. This time
More people were laid off, more than 30 people.
As a result, the entire company originally had more than 120 employees, but only about 70 people remained, almost half of which was laid off.
This is not a big force!
Therefore, everyone in the company is very nervous. At the same time, everyone is energetic and working hard, especially the sales department and the planning department, who take the initiative to work overtime. The sales department laid off five people this time, and the planning department laid off five people.
10 people were directly laid off.
The planning department originally had three teams with a total number of just over twenty people. Now, after such layoffs, only a dozen people are left, which means that more than one-third of the people in each team have been laid off.
However, such layoffs actually stimulated the enthusiasm of the planning department.
Because most of the people laid off are incapable of dawdling, and at least five of them are old gangsters who have been working in the company for more than three years. They are used to the comfortable life of dawdling in the company and getting paid.
The enthusiasm for work is not high, and the projects assigned to them are delayed as long as possible, and the degree of completion is not very high. The planning plans they make often fail to satisfy customers, so they have to come back again.
Although this kind of thing is very common, especially when difficult customers are called back many times, if different customers are often dissatisfied with their solutions, it can clearly indicate that it is a problem with their personal abilities.
.
Many old customers were slowly wasted away by the unqualified plans of these old bastards, and they found other planning companies to cooperate with them.
Chen Feng had worked in the planning department for so many years, so of course he knew this very well, so after he became the boss, he became deeply disgusted with these colleagues who had been hanging around in the company before, and laid off the unambiguous ones.
Precisely because the company laid off so many people in the planning department without mercy, everyone who remained in the planning department was in awe of Chen Feng, the second boss. The manager of the planning department, who had just been in office for less than a year, even
It was because I was trembling with fear towards Chen Feng, my former colleague.
The manager of the planning department is named Gao Xiangyu. He is also an old employee of the company. He joined Chen Feng more than a year later. He is almost the same time as Yan Jun. He is his junior brother. At the beginning, the relationship between the two was relatively good.
, after all, Chen Feng was valued by the boss at that time, and he was also a team leader and deputy manager level in the department.
But later, as Chen Feng was suppressed, he of course kept a distance from him in a wise manner, and even sometimes helped the superior Yan Jun to say a few words to him. Although it was not too much, it could be regarded as being on Yan Jun's side.
An accomplice.
When Yan Jun collapsed, he was the team leader of one of the three teams. Later, when Yan Jun fell, the other team leader was fired due to involvement in the case, and the other team leader also resigned due to lack of integrity. He, the only remaining team leader, was relatively weak.
After being clean, he was promoted to department manager.
From this point of view, he really has to thank Chen Feng, who put Yan Jun in jail. Otherwise, Yan Jun would always be in the manager's position, so how could he have a chance to succeed?
But now that Chen Feng has become his immediate superior and boss, the psychological pressure this has put on him is too great. He has not been able to sleep well in the past two days, and the dark circles under his eyes have become significantly worse.
In his opinion, Chen Feng is now in power, and he will definitely not be merciful to those who suppressed him or were accomplices in the past. This is human nature.
Originally, he was prepared to be fired and fucked, but two days later, after the layoff, he was still sitting in the manager's position. Chen Feng had no intention of firing him as a manager, let alone replacing him.
Fired.
This made him feel happy and puzzled at the same time.
That night, Chen Feng invited several colleagues from the planning department to have dinner, totaling about ten people.
At the wine table, Gao Xiangyu took the initiative to apologize to Chen Feng by serving three glasses of liquor, thanking Chen Feng for his "grace not to kill", and apologizing for the things he had done to help others.
Chen Feng accepted his apology with a generous smile, and Gao Xiangyu's heart that had been hanging around for the past few days was finally relieved.
Several other "old colleagues" had no quarrels with Chen Feng, because those who had quarrels were basically Yan Jun's former confidants. When Yan Jun was sentenced, they were all implicated and did not go to jail together.
Fan, they were all fired from the company.
Even if there were some who slipped through the net, Chen Feng took the opportunity to fire them all during this layoff. Chen Feng had no psychological burden on this.
For example, the fat supervisor I met last time was directly fired by Chen Feng in the first wave. Others were given some compensation or something, but this one didn't say anything and even deducted a month's salary from him.
The reason is very simple. As a small supervisor in the administration department, this guy took kickbacks while in charge of logistics chores and did many things to line his own pockets. Chen Feng did not come forward and directly asked someone from the personnel department to "remind" him.
He could only accept his fate and get out of here.
In comparison, the remaining "old colleagues" in the planning department have a relatively clean background. Therefore, Chen Feng is also willing to treat them to a meal to deepen their relationship.
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal, especially Gao Xiangyu who came back drunk after confirming that Chen Feng really had no intention of operating on him.
After the meal, Chen Feng started to herd the sheep. He no longer went to the company to work, but devoted himself to accompanying Guo Mengyao and his daughter to play in the playground for a day, and then returned to the lakeside villa to spend the whole night with Guo Mengyao.
It was a perfect experience before letting her go.
The next morning, Chen Feng drove the mother and daughter to the airport. Guo Mengyao was very reluctant to leave her all the way, but as the boss, she couldn't ignore the company's affairs. In the end, she could only hug Chen Feng deeply at the airport and take her with her.
The daughter turned around and got on the plane.
After Guo Mengyao left, Chen Feng returned to his normal life, just checking his mobile phone at home.
However, he didn't stay quiet for long. After Wu Mengting reminded him, the background investigation reports of the three film companies came out and asked him to make a decision.
Chen Feng read these three reports carefully, and the investigation was quite detailed. He wrote down the company's ins and outs, asset structure, organizational structure, and operating conditions in great detail, with pictures and texts.
The most important thing is that this report also lists the detailed information of the company's shareholders and several senior executives, including some of their social backgrounds, educational backgrounds, etc. This is very rare. No wonder it took so long to get it done.
.
The money spent is quite worth it.
After reading the detailed background information of these three film companies, Chen Feng had a rough idea. None of these three companies could be considered large-scale film companies. One of them only invested 3 million, and the largest one only invested 10 million. And this
The common feature of the three companies is that they are currently in a state of loss.
The largest film company currently has external debts of more than 10 million, including 6 million from the bank, and individuals from other units, including directors, actors and other film staff who are owed wages that add up to several million.
The specific reasons for the losses of the three companies are basically the same, that is, the failure of investment in film and television projects. In particular, the largest company invested in a costume drama adapted from the popular Danmei last year. For this reason, they chose two beautiful boys.
He made two male leads, signed them, and invested an additional 20 million in this project.
As a result, everything went wrong after the filming started. One of the contracted pretty boys got into a car accident less than a month into the filming. His face was injured and he needed reconstructive cosmetic surgery. It would take at least two or three months to recover.
Temporary replacement obviously won't work, it's been filming for almost a month, and if you want to find a pretty boy with passable acting skills, how can it be that easy?
Therefore, we can only wait for this beautiful boy to recover before filming his scenes.
In this way, more than two months later, the crew had almost finished filming other scenes, and finally waited until the pretty boy recovered and was discharged from the hospital to shoot his scene. The filming went relatively smoothly, and it took almost a month to finally complete the filming.
Then came the intensive post-production. The most sophisticated post-production team in the industry was invited to create it. It took nearly three months to finally complete this ambitious costume drama with excellent production.
Of course, the next step was to submit it for review, and then the misfortune began. It failed to pass several reviews. I made many changes as required, and even cut off many wonderful pictures and shots, but it still failed to pass.
Everyone knows the reason, because this costume drama is actually about male-male love, which is obviously not recognized by the domestic mainstream. Even though friendship is used instead of love in the drama, some scenes and shots are still quite explicit.
In the end, although the company reluctantly cut off many more explicit and ambiguous clips and scenes, it still failed to pass the review.
What's even more tragic is that the higher authorities issued a ban on ancient costume dramas at this time, further compressing the market for costume dramas.
This has made the film company want to die. Their ambitious costume drama is still stuck in the review process.
This one project alone caused the film company to vomit blood, so much so that the company planned to package and sell it, including a debt of more than 10 million.
But no one is stupid. This hot potato was released two or three months ago, but no one is willing to take it.
However, of the three companies, Chen Feng is the most interested in this company. The reason is very simple. This company is the largest, has the most mature internal organizational structure, and also has several new-generation artists who look good under the company.
contract.
Among them are the two pretty boys who are very promising. They each signed a five-year contract before filming "Heshan Order" invested by this company.
The background information of the investigation included detailed introductions and photos of these two handsome men. After Chen Feng saw them, even a man had to say that these two men were really beautiful.
No wonder this company was ambitious before and was bound to become famous through the "Heshan Order". As a result, the company was stuck at the review stage. Due to lack of funds, the company suddenly fell into trouble.
After reading the three detailed reports and making a comprehensive comparison, Chen Feng decided to contact this company first, Xinyao Film and Television Culture Company.
The company's headquarters is in Xiuzhou. Wu Mengting immediately contacted the person in charge of the other party. When the other party heard that they were interested in acquiring their company, they immediately agreed to meet. He is at the company today and you can go see him at any time.
Chen Feng and Wu Mengting had nothing to do anyway, so they went directly to the company's location, a mid- to low-end office building with an area of more than 100 square meters. It is hard to imagine that this company invested 10 million yuan and also invested 20 million yuan to film a costume drama.
The offices of film and television companies will be so shabby.
When they came over, they saw a sublet advertising sign at the door. The two glass doors were not closed. When they entered, there was no one at the front desk, and there was no one in the public office area.
Chen Feng called inside several times but no one answered. When he was about to ask Wu Mengting to contact the other party on his mobile phone, he saw a middle-aged man hurriedly coming out of the innermost room. His clothes were wrinkled, his hair was a little messy, his face was gray, and his expression was expressionless.
It's not that good.
He is the boss of this company, Chen Xinyao, and the name of the company is his name. He is a rich second generation. When he was young, he was star-chasing and liked TV and movies. So after he inherited the family business, he invested in establishing this film and television company.
He holds 85% of the shares of this company, and the rest of the shares were generously given away by him in order to attract talents when the company was first established.
The company has been established for nearly ten years, and has produced several small-hit movies and TV series before. It is not profitable, but it is not a loss either. But in the past two years, the company has started to run into bad luck, and its performance has deteriorated year by year.
This made Chen Xinyao determined to do something big last year, and then directly killed himself.
The company now owes nearly 20 million in debt to outsiders. If he had other businesses and family properties a few years ago, he would not be unable to make ends meet. But in the past two years, his other businesses have not been doing well. Not to mention making no money, on the contrary
Lost a lot of money.
Under such internal and external difficulties, he had to sell Xinyao Film and Television. If someone was willing to pay 50 million, including nearly 20 million to repay debts, he would transfer the company.
