Yang Wanli left his hometown at the age of 16 and came to Jiangcheng to work with 150 yuan in his pocket. Today, the Wanli Group he founded has a market value of 100 billion. His life can be said to be a legend.
A person like him really has an intimidating aura about him. As long as he is serious, every word and action will convey a powerful coercion.
Just like now, with just a look from him, Hu Shuo panicked and his eyes subconsciously averted. He clearly didn't accomplish anything, but when he said this, it seemed as if he had really done something wrong.
Hu Shuo quickly calmed down, took a deep breath, and said: "Dad, I don't think Yun Yan did anything wrong. Zuo Zuo often doesn't have a chance to get along with Yun Yan for a month. She is the president of Wanli Group, right?"
Wrong, but she is also Zuozuo’s mother.”
Yang Wanli never expected that Hu Shuo would refute him. He immediately frowned and looked at Hu Shuo expressionlessly. However, he was a little surprised in his heart. After all, his son-in-law never dared to disobey him in the past.
My own, every time I see him, I feel like a mouse meets a cat.
But today, Hu Shuo's state is obviously different from before.
"Zao Zuo, grandpa and grandma bought you two dolls and put them in your room. Would you like to go upstairs with grandma to take a look?" Yang Wanli did not respond to Hu Shuo for the time being, but turned his head with a smile on his face.
Said to Zuo Zuo.
"Really?"
"Then I want to go see it"
Zuo Zuo cheered excitedly and pulled Huang Yurong upstairs.
After sending Zuo Zuo away, Yang Wanli immediately changed his face, looked at Hu Shuo and said: "If someone can help Yun Yan share part of the work, of course she will have time to spend with Zuo Zuo, but I am old, so I can only help her take care of me.
In general, she needs to do everything else by herself. The shopping mall is like a battlefield. If you are not careful, you will be in catastrophe. What do you think you paid for your current comfortable life??"
"Four years ago, I told you not to let Yun Yan be distracted by family matters. If she doesn't do well, not only will your family fall apart, but the families of tens of thousands of Wanli Group employees will also suffer!"
"There is no turning back. As the helmsman of the Wanli Group, she can only do her best to break through the waves without slacking off!"
Yang Wanli's eyes were as bright as a torch and his words were sonorous and powerful.
He was stating the facts, and he was also implicitly blaming Hu Shuo, warning him to recognize his position, but he would not say this too directly.
Hu Shuo could naturally understand the meaning of Yang Wanli's words, but his mood did not change at all, because he clearly knew his status in this family. In addition, he respected and admired Yang Wanli deep in his heart.
He comes from nothing, and only he knows the suffering he has experienced. The more such a person is, the more he understands that everything is hard-won, and the more he knows how to cherish it.
It was precisely for this reason that he would impose strict requirements on Yang Yunchan, fearing that she would take the wrong path and would not allow her to take even one step.
It can be said that Yang Wanli also has good intentions.
Hu Shuo understood his mood, so he did not refute again. In fact, no matter what he said now, it was feeble. Words were never as convincing as actual actions.
One day when Hu Shuo became powerful, he would naturally have the right to speak.
The father-in-law and father-in-law were speechless, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while. But at this moment, the roar of a sports car suddenly sounded in the yard, and not long after, Yang Yunyan walked in from outside.
"Dad, how did you get here?"
Yang Yunyan changed into slippers and asked as she walked to the living room.
"It's been a while."
Yang Wanli replied lightly.
"Oh, where is Zuo Zuo?" Hu Shuo was in the living room, but Zuo Zuo was not there. Yang Yunyan couldn't help but ask.
"She's upstairs with her grandma." Hu Shuo replied.
"oh."
Yang Yunyan nodded and sat next to Yang Wanli. In fact, as soon as she entered the room, she felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. She immediately pretended to be relaxed and asked: "You are so serious at home, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong?"
"Why did you cancel two such important meetings yesterday???" Yang Wanli said with a cold expression on his face, and directly went to charge.
"I"
Yang Yunyan frowned: "Zuozuo said she wanted to ride the Ferris wheel and asked me to accompany her. In fact, those two meetings are not that important anymore, and they are all made up today."
"The decision-making at the top level is issued one day late, and the implementation at the grassroots level is not even a day late. Don't you know this?" Yang Wanli snorted coldly.
Yang Yunyan was speechless. Of course she knew this. However, she really couldn't bear to refuse Zuo Zuo's request, so she chose to postpone the meeting. In fact, this was indeed not her style of doing things.
"Dad, it's okay if I was wrong. I won't do it next time!"
Yang Yunyan knew her father's character too well. If she continued to argue at this time, there would be no good results. She might as well take the initiative to admit her mistake.
"I hope you do what you say!"
Yang Wanli replied in a deep voice, and then said: "One more thing, Wanli Pictures has been losing money for eleven consecutive quarters. I think there is no need to persist any longer. It is a good idea for you to expand the entertainment territory, but we, Wanli
After all, the group has no foundation in this area, so this business can be cut off."
"this"
Yang Yunyan frowned. Wanli Group started out by relying on real estate. It specializes in commercial plazas and office buildings. Currently, there are more than 150 Wanli Plazas in China, distributed in major cities. Relying on Wanli Plaza, Wanli Group has established Wanli Cinema Line, which owns
With more than 700 screens, it is the fourth largest theater chain in China.
It is precisely because of such a theater chain that Wanli Group established Wanli Pictures, hoping to create a complete entertainment industry chain with one-stop production and sales. Unfortunately, Wanli Pictures has been established for four years and has suffered a total loss of more than one billion. This is because
Wanli Group has its own theater chain, otherwise, this number would be higher.
Faced with such a business that loses 200 million to 300 million yuan every year, Yang Wanli naturally lost his patience.
"Dad, I think we can wait a little longer. After all, Wanli Pictures has only been established for four years. Compared with other film and television companies, it is still very young. Moreover, the profit margin of our main business is getting lower and lower, and the group needs to find a new one.
In terms of profitability, the domestic entertainment industry is still on the rise, so it is not too late for us to enter the game."
Yang Yunyan talked eloquently and expressed her views.
"Your idea is good and the direction is correct, but it turns out that this road is difficult to navigate. Instead of struggling like this, it is better to develop cinema chains and further expand the scale of Wanli Cinema Chain."
Yang Wanliti's policy is a conservative one. China's movie market is getting bigger and bigger, and theater chains, as platform providers, can directly get 40% of the box office share, basically making a guaranteed profit without losing money, and with lower risks.
Yang Yunyan nodded: "The theater chain must continue to develop, but I don't want to give up on the content."
"Wanli Pictures has just passed its fourth year. I hope to give it a little more time, at least after next year. After all, Wanli Pictures has been in business for four years. It would be a pity to give up now.
"
Yang Yunyan still didn't want to give up just like that. In fact, Wanli Pictures was the first business she promoted after taking charge of the Wanli Group. Therefore, giving up now would be regarded as admitting the failure of her decision, and she would naturally not be willing to accept it.
Yang Wanli did not respond immediately. He frowned and pondered for a moment, then asked, "Is the general manager of Wanli Pictures still Sun Peng?"
"Um."
Yang Yunyan nodded.
"If you still want to give Wanli Pictures another chance, then replace him. He has proven his ability in four years." Yang Wanli said coldly.
"I have thought about this issue, but I haven't found a suitable candidate yet."
Yang Yunyan was telling the truth. Sun Peng worked as the general manager of Wanli Pictures for four years, but lost more than one billion. Even if his work ability was acceptable, someone had to take the blame.
Although changing leaders may not necessarily be useful, it can be regarded as a way. After all, everyone has different thinking and work styles. This is the same as changing coaches when a football club has a poor record. The new coach is not necessarily more capable than the old coach.
, but might be a better fit for this team.
"How about, let me try?"
At this time, Hu Shuo suddenly interrupted.
"you??"
Yang Wanli and Yang Yunyan turned to look at Hu Shuo at the same time, and then shook their heads in sync.
