After hearing Hu Shuo's words, Wang Qi couldn't help but be startled.
Obviously, it was a lie that Hu Shuo asked him to recommend people, but it was true that he wanted to poach himself to Chuangshi Entertainment!
However, the incident was too sudden, so Wang Qi didn't know how to respond for a while.
"Mr. Hu, your thoughts change a little too quickly."
After being stunned for a moment, Wang Qi smiled.
"Really, let me say it again now, I wonder if Mr. Wang is interested in joining our Chuangshi Entertainment?"
This time, Hu Shuo made it clear directly.
"Mr. Hu, this is a big deal after all, I have to think about it carefully," Wang Qi replied.
"That's natural. After all, this is related to Mr. Wang's future, so you should think about it carefully. And I asked Mr. Wang out today just to express my sincerity."
Hu Shuo picked up the coffee in front of him, took a sip and continued: "No one knows how far the overseas branches of Chuangshi Entertainment will eventually develop. Therefore, it can also be said that this is a gamble. However, what I can give Mr. Wang
The promise is that as long as Mr. Wang comes to our Chuangshi Entertainment, the salary and benefits can be doubled at least. As for other conditions, we can further refine and discuss them in detail."
"It's an honor for me to have Mr. Hu value me so highly."
Wang Qi replied very politely, and then said: "In addition, I would like to discuss with Mr. Hu the specific matters regarding the establishment of the overseas branch of Chuangshi Entertainment. Is it inconvenient for me to disclose it?"
"Of course, no problem. Since I want Mr. Wang to come over and help me, I will tell you everything about the overseas branches!"
Hu Shuo spread his hands.
"Nowadays, all the major entertainment companies in China have actually established overseas branches to enter the international market, but from the actual results, they are not very optimistic. Only Tahoe Sky has some movement, but as far as I know,
It seems that the overseas branches of major entertainment companies are all losing money, and none of them has yet achieved profitability.”
"Therefore, I am very curious as to why Mr. Hu established an overseas company under such an unfavorable market environment. In fact, in my opinion, it is more cost-effective to find a strong overseas company to cooperate with than to establish a company by ourselves.
"
Wang Qi raised his own questions.
After listening to his explanation, Hu Shuo smiled slightly: "The reason why I established an overseas company is actually for one purpose, which is to build Chuangshi Entertainment into the world's top entertainment company.
The company must enter overseas markets."
"I don't want to act based on other people's faces, so I want to set up a company of my own, and eventually I will be involved in movies, TV series, and even music!"
“Mr. Hu’s ideal is very grand!”
"So, I need talents like Mr. Wang!"
Hu Shuo's words were not polite. The reason why he wanted to recruit Wang Qi to his company was not a whim, but a matter of careful consideration.
Wang Qi's ability to become the president of Star Factory Asia is enough to prove his ability and business level. In other words, Star Factory has already conducted the assessment for Hu Shuo on these two points.
Therefore, Wang Qi definitely belongs to the kind of talented person who can fight. Moreover, he has been in Hollywood for many years and has very rich experience in dealing with foreign companies. He also knows Hollywood and the American entertainment industry very well. With such a person in charge,
Hu Shuo will naturally feel more at ease with Chuangshi Entertainment's overseas companies.
"I would like to ask, what is Mr. Hu's investment budget for overseas branches?"
"I plan to invest 10 billion in the initial stage. If it is not enough, I will continue to add more. There is no upper limit!"
"No upper limit?"
"Yes, there is no upper limit!!"
"It seems Mr. Hu is determined to open up overseas markets!"
"certainly!"
Hu Shuo looked confident: "Chuangshi Entertainment will soon become the No. 1 company in China, so my goal is no longer in China!"
"The world market is my goal!"
"Haha, I can feel Mr. Hu's ambition."
Wang Qi laughed, held his chin with one hand and thought for a moment, then said: "To be honest, I am very interested in Mr. Hu's invitation. However, in the position I am in, even if I want to leave my job, it will not happen overnight. It involves
There are a lot of things, so I have to carefully consider and consider, and after three days, I will give Mr. Hu accurate information."
"Okay, if Mr. Wang has any conditions, feel free to put them forward."
Hu Shuo added.
"OK!"
"Since I'm selling my body, I have to give myself a good price!" Wang Qi laughed.
The two of them had a very enjoyable dinner.
After dinner, Wang Qi drove back home.
As soon as he got home, he plunged into the study.
The evening in China is the morning in the United States, and the United States on the other side of the ocean has just begun its day's work.
A director of Star Factory's American head office had a transoceanic video connection with Wang Qi.
The two first exchanged some work-related matters, and then the director named Edward asked about the casting of "Dangerous Action" in China.
"Hu, did you agree to our invitation?"
"He felt that the role was not suitable for him, so he declined our invitation."
"What? You actually rejected it? Didn't you tell him that it was a role in "Dangerous Action"?"
"I have told everything truthfully, he just made his own choice!"
"Damn it! This is the first time a Chinese actor has refused our invitation!"
"Because that role was not very sincere, so it was normal for him to refuse!"
"He will regret losing such an opportunity! There are a large number of Chinese actors lining up to play that role!"
"Maybe..."
"Then contact the next actor as soon as possible. Coppola is already impatient, so he asked me to ask about this matter."
"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible."
After ending the video connection, Wang Qi lit a cigarette and started smoking silently in the study. Since he took office as the president of Asia, he has been very busy every day. He has to deal with work in Asia during the day and also has to do other things at night.
We have a video connection with the American side, and sometimes a video conference can even last two or three hours.
To be honest, this kind of work situation is very tiring. In addition, there is another thing that makes him unhappy. Although he is the president of Asia, he does not have a big voice within the company. American employees of the same level do not
You can "give orders" to him. In fact, the director who just connected with him is only at the same level as him, but he always shows off his power in front of him.
And as a Chinese, working in an American company, although on the surface they talk about equality and no racial discrimination, in fact, he is still the one who is not respected.
In the past, Wang Qi had no choice but to turn a blind eye and endure.
However, now there is a chance to escape.
Dong Dong...
While Wang Qi was smoking and thinking, his wife Xu Meihui knocked on the study door and walked in with a plate of washed fruits.
"Don't smoke all the time and eat some fruit."
"Meihui, I want to start my business again. What do you think?"
"Do you want to start a business? As long as you like it!" Xu Meihui replied with a smile on her face, without much hesitation or hesitation.
"Aren't you afraid that I will fail? After all, my life is very stable now."
"It's still stable. You are busy from morning to night. It makes me feel sad to see you so stable." Xu Meihui shook her head gently.
"Mr. Hu came to see me today. He wanted me to go to Chuangshi Entertainment."
"Mr. Hu?"
"It's Hu Shuo."
"Ah? He wants to poach you?"
"That's right, Chuangshi Entertainment is going to set up an overseas branch, and he wants me to come over and help."
"Then what do you think?"
"I'm a little tempted. Chuangshi Entertainment is an amazing company. Although the overseas branches of all domestic entertainment companies are currently losing money, when I chatted with Hu Shuo in the evening, I always felt that I could make it this time!"
Wang Qi was blowing out smoke, with light shining in his eyes.
"It seems that you already have the answer in your heart, I support you!" Xu Meihui smiled slightly.
