"Lao Zhu, don't worry, you are different from Yang Lan."
Luo Yan brought the coffee, Peng Bo took it and handed it to Zhu Tom personally, "You will still serve as the vice president of the company. In the future, when Pengbo Media Group is established, you will still be the vice president of the group. Also, under the banyan tree, you will directly manage the Internet business.
I’ll give you the money too…”
Vice President, in fact, this is not what Zhu Tom wants most. It is his dream to be under the banyan tree. Now that the website has grown and is thriving, Peng Bo has given the place where he started his career back to himself. This represents a
kind of trust.
However, Tom Zhu felt that he was worthy of this trust.
The coffee cups clinked together and made a crisp sound.
"Let him come in." After seeing off Tom Zhu, Peng Bo picked up the phone on the table. Outside the door, a middle-aged man with a gray face and disheveled hair walked in. Everyone on the 50th floor of Jin Mao Tower didn't know him. How many people did he have back then?
I was so high-spirited, but now I feel so miserable.
"Mr. Peng, I don't expect you to forgive me. I was distracted for a while and took the wrong path..." Lu Gengshen burst into tears, but Peng Bo looked at him expressionlessly. After he said a lot,
Then he looked at Peng Bo hesitantly.
"Why do you do this?" Peng Bo only asked.
"I, I, I was wrong, Mr. Peng..." Lu Gengshen does regret it now. Time Warner and Salomon Smith Barney teamed up to make him hallucinate. Now that he is scolded by his wife when he returns home, he is already filled with regret.
Now, he has nothing but a house and a car, and all of this was given to him by the young man in front of him.
"One mistake will lead to eternal hatred, and it will be a hundred years to look back." Peng Bo had no intention of saying more to him, "You can leave."
"Mr. Peng..." Seeing that Peng Bo was unmoved, Lu Gengshen immediately showed a desperate expression, "Mr. Peng, I remember, I still have shares here." Lu Gengshen emphasized.
"Share?" Peng Bo looked up from the document, "If you don't tell me, I will sympathize with you. After all, you have worked hard. But you have shares and you still rebel!"
Peng Bo's tone was always cold, "Your shares will be converted into cash for you, you can go."
Lu Gengshen gritted his teeth and when Peng Bo ignored him again, he slipped out of the door dejectedly.
Outside the door, they met Wu Qianyu and Lu Yusen. They were still looking gorgeous, but when they saw him, they both turned around...
…
At this time, besides Lu Gengshen, the most disappointed person was William Pross, who is also in Shanghai.
Originally, driven by Peng Bo, the company's business in China was progressing well. The cooperation with Lenovo was just short of an agreement. Regarding the cooperation with China Television, although in the 1980s, n) had already set up a station in Beijing and began to cooperate with China Television.
provided by n.
But under Peng Bo's promotion, Time Warner and China Television have reached a preliminary agreement. The cartoon programs provided by the former will be broadcast on China Television's set, and American audiences can also watch China Television's programs.
William Poulos sighed and said that the situation was over. All the cooperation that Peng Bo had negotiated before had to be torn down and restarted. Now Time Warner executives are very angry with him.
But he didn't expect that Salomon Smith Barney would leave the market halfway. However, he didn't have a good impression of these investment companies in the first place.
The senior management of Salomon Smith Barney also called, but he was too lazy to answer the phone. What was the point of listening to these bullshit?
"We have already made a mistake at this step. The headquarters is very angry with CTV for terminating the contract with us and with Lenovo for terminating the contract with us." GLP looked at Greater China President He Bixian, "But this was all caused by Peng Bo. Let the past be left to its own devices."
Come on, now you mainly need to build a good movie city and seize the Chinese theater market... Now that Viacom and News Corporation have entered China, we have to maintain our advantages..."
Time Warner's annual revenue in the U.S. television market reached US$18.8 billion, much higher than Murdoch's News Corp.'s US$4 billion. However, when it comes to advancing China's market share, Murdoch has taken a step-by-step approach, gradually winning over the Chinese government and even local governments.
Favored by the government, it develops television business through public relations means.
This seems much more sophisticated, and Time Warner is even more at a loss on Chinese television after losing Peng Bo.
Now, Chairman Steve Case, or his possible successor Richard Parsons, AOL Time Warner executives still maintain a strong interest in the Chinese market, but GLP has to say that Time
Warner is gradually not adapting to the Chinese market - n-agreed programs, cartoons with low profits, and of course China Entertainment Television, which has been losing money.
Therefore, the cinema business has been a key business launched by GLP since taking office, and this business has been handed over to Greater China.
In mid-July, Time Warner's first cinema investment in mainland China, Yonghua Cinema City, will officially open in Shanghai. This will also become the first cinema with foreign investment after China's accession to the WTO.
At that time, Warner Chairman and CEO Barry Meyer and his delegation will go to Shanghai in person to attend the ceremony and announce the news.
"Let's go and take a look."
This is the key work of Time Warner's Greater China and Asia-Pacific regions, but Prologis feels uneasy because he just set a secret target for Peng Bo, and in the blink of an eye he wants to open a theater under his nose. With his understanding of Peng Bo, if
If he doesn't react, he really wouldn't be Peng Bo.
Yonghua Cinema City.
This Yonghua Cinema City, located in Ganghui Plaza in the Xujiahui business district of Shanghai, has a total investment of 28.5 million yuan, and Time Warner holds 49% of the shares.
The Chinese shareholders are Shanghai Yongle Co., Ltd. and Xiangjiang Guangyu Investment Co., Ltd.
Among them, Yongle Co., Ltd. is a holding company of Shanghai Film Group, and the latter's United Cinemas accounts for about 80% of Shanghai's total box office revenue and 75% of the number of screens in Shanghai; Guangyu Investment is mainly engaged in catering
and entertainment projects, with 15 hotels in Shanghai and Shanghai.
Originally, when Time Warner started negotiating with Yongle, it hoped to control 51% or more. However, according to the WTO agreement, although Sino-foreign joint venture cinemas were gradually allowed, foreign parties were still not allowed to hold a controlling stake, and GLP's wish was not fulfilled.
Despite this, Milad Oakes, president of Warner Bros. International Cinemas, is still confident, "We already hold more than 75% of the shares in the theaters we invest in Xiangjiang. Mainland Chinese officials recently stated that they can consider allowing foreign investment in such joint ventures.
"We have a majority stake in the company. So in the next project, we plan to propose to the Beijing Foreign Economic and Trade Commission and the Beijing **** to hold 51% of the shares."
The decoration of the new theater is that of a standard American theater. Prologis is very satisfied. "In the future, China's capital, Shanghai, Shanghai and Guangdong will become the key cities for Warner's promotion in China."
The three places were chosen mainly because Beijing is the cultural center; Shanghai and Shanghai account for 1% of the country's population but 18% of the country's theater box office revenue; and Guangdong has a vibrant economic and cultural atmosphere.
"Are you worried about Peng Bo's counterattack?" Looking at GLP's happy but still worried look, He Bixian didn't take it seriously. "When we enter the theater market in mainland China, we form a "bundle" with Yongle and use Yongle's power.
In the theater chain system, the strong get stronger, and no matter how strong Peng Bo is, will he dare to challenge the Shanghai Film Group?"
