"Wait a minute, he's almost here." William Poulos' eyes were full of teasing, "You are old acquaintances, you won't be surprised."
Tom Zhu looked at William Poulos who was gloating about his misfortune, his face unmoved, but in his heart he was also guessing who this person was.
Tuk-tuk-tuk——
There was a knock on the door, Pross smiled and raised his hand, and the door was quickly opened.
The beautiful female secretary walked in, followed by a middle-aged Chinese man. He came in with his head lowered. When he raised his head again, Tom Zhu looked intently. The man also saw Tom Zhu and immediately showed a look of astonishment.
The expression on his face, but he immediately calmed down, "Oh, it turns out to be Vice President Zhu." He looked at William Poulos, "With President Zhu leading us, our cooperation will definitely be successful this time."
But Tom Zhu's face was still very serious, and his eyes were very sharp, "Lao Lu, why you?"
Looking at Lu Gengshen in front of him, Zhu Tom thought a lot, but he never thought that this person would be him. Lu Gengshen is the veteran of the company, and he was very unsatisfied in the TV station. If Peng Bo hadn't pulled him out,
, and gave him 10% of the shares, but he is still watching people on the TV station and eating their leftovers.
It seems that people's hearts are not as good as snakes swallowing elephants, and people's desires have no bottom line. Zhu Tom can only comment on Lu Gengshen in this way.
There was no uneasiness on Lu Gengshen's face, "Mr. Zhu, I know that you are very curious about why the person you see here is me. Although you grew up in the United States, you have read the Han Dynasty. King Xiang is respectful and kind to everyone."
, words vomit, people are sick, tears and tears separate food and drink, and even if someone has meritorious deeds and can be awarded a knighthood, the seal will be sealed but cannot be given, this is called the benevolence of a woman."
"What do you mean?" Facing this man who dropped his book bag, it was an ancient Chinese book. Tom Zhu, who grew up in the United States, looked confused. William Poulos smiled and spread his hands and shrugged. He didn't mean that either.
clear.
"Mr. Zhu, you see, we are all the veterans of this company. We have no credit but hard work. But now Mr. Peng owns two listed companies. These veterans and directors of the company do not have any shares in them. After so many years of work,
They are still the director and deputy director, which is the president of the branch, also in the name of director."
Lu Gengshen spoke impassionedly, and Zhu Tom listened quietly without interrupting him or encouraging him, "For so many years, he has held all the power of the company. This company is actually a mom-and-pop shop. No matter how much you invest, you can do better."
No matter how much you work, you are still working for others, and there is no end to this kind of work.”
"Yes, he gave me 10% of the shares. But without me and without me producing programs, the company would not have been able to develop so fast, and Mr. Peng would not have become a representative of private media. My current income is the same as
My original contribution was far out of proportion, so giving me a vice president of the company is not too much."
Lu Gengshen stood up excitedly, "Besides, there have been no dividends for so many years. Apart from the director's salary, I haven't seen a penny of dividends. I have been waiting for the company to go public, but the listing has been pushed again and again, so I have to wait."
It’s too late…”
Lu Gengshen looked at Pross, who was waiting for Tom Zhu's reply.
"I can't comment on this, but the company is now gaining momentum..."
"The momentum is very good, how much share can we get?" Lu Gengshen immediately retorted, "Now in the company, everyone has opinions about Mr. Peng. Except for Wu Qianyu, Shi Jiao and several other women, except for the nerd Lu Yusen, everyone
Everyone thinks that what they get is too little, yes, and Zhao Lu, who he single-handedly promoted from the front desk to the administrative department, everyone has their own opinions except these few people."
Tom Zhu noticed that although he had strong opinions, when Lu Gengshen mentioned Peng Bo, he still referred to him as Mr. Peng. It seemed that Lu Gengshen had been living in Peng Bo's shadow.
However, Tom Zhu also understood that Lu Gengshen seemed to be dissatisfied with the status quo. He wanted more. When he couldn't get it, and external forces intervened, he rebelled!
He looked at the fat William Poulos again. He also knew about his feud with Peng Bo. It seemed that his opponent had been staring at Peng Bo Media for more than a day or two.
"But, Director Lu, these are all Pengbo Media's family matters," Zhu Tom finally said, "Why do you have to talk about it in front of outsiders?"
As soon as these words came out, William Poulos was shocked, and Lu Gengshen was even more surprised. He had regarded Tom Zhu as his ally, but now there was a complete subtext of rejection in these words.
William Poulos slowly stood up and walked around from behind the table to Tom Zhu. His figure was pressed down like a hill. He threatened, "Mr. Zhu, I believe you very much, and I think we are on the same page."
Target, if you act like this, you will not be able to answer to me or Director Lu." He raised his hand, and the secretary immediately picked up a paper bag, "You may be interested in what's inside."
After Tom Zhu opened it, he smiled. He pushed the paper bag, William Poulos raised his hand, and Lu Gengshen also sat down next to Tom Zhu.
"Of course, countless directors have said these things, and I have also said them, but Mr. Peng has not taken them to heart. In this way," he looked at Lu Gengshen, his tone had changed, because the paper bag contained his handle, "If you
There is a plan and I fully support it.”
What does full support mean? Lu Gengshen is a little confused. He is good at producing programs, but in terms of his grasp of people's hearts, he is just a scholar.
"There is a saying in China that people's hearts move together." William Poulos seems to be a China expert. Zhu Tom's attitude is that he does not want to get involved and has no objection, so that he can reap the benefits. "Now it is not that some are in front and others are behind.
When the time comes, I think you should act together... Let me introduce our plan..."
Lu Gengshen was unwilling to listen at first, but he couldn't resist Pross's gaze.
At first, Tom Zhu was still leaning on his back, but later, after listening to Pross's introduction, his body slowly moved forward. This plan was no longer to create another king, but to take over the king's kingdom and make it his own.
His heart skipped a beat, and he thought of the green banyan tree again. He also wanted to be a king sitting under that banyan tree.
"How will we define our relationship with Time Warner in the future?" asked Tom Zhu. The relationship here is very complicated. It should be explained well in advance, and... He looked at Lu Gengshen.
"In the new company, Time Warner will hold 30% of the shares and you will each have 35%," William Pross said.
The Chinese are very particular about checks and balances. Even if Time Warner holds the smallest share, if the two men fight in the future, they will have to rely on Time Warner to clean up the mess.
It can also be said that although he has a small shareholding, every party will have to rely on him in the future. If the company does well, he can do it well. If it does not, as long as he destroys Pengbo Media, his goal will be achieved.
"Also, you don't have to worry about the funds. I have already negotiated with Citigroup." William Pross gave them another reassurance. He opened a bottle of red wine and said, "Everything is ready. All we need is the east wind. Now wait for the good show.
The gong is on."
Three cups touched together.
Tom Zhu finally smiled and said, "In the current situation, we need to find an entry point, and for this entry point, we need to go to Xiangjiang to find that woman... She is a very ambitious woman, I think we should form an alliance...
