Hollywood Starts with Animation

Chapter 74 Integrating Subsidiaries

Wald Pictures.

"Is everyone here? Okay, since we're all here, let's have a meeting."

Zhu Ke sat in the conference room, looked around the crowd, and suddenly became full of pride.

Victor, CEO of Wald Pictures, and Miss Martha, Minister of Finance;

James, the manager of the SpongeBob SquarePants House store;

Animation studio head Stephen, chief screenwriter Messer;

Ms. Donna, CEO of UPN TV Network;

As well as the relevant responsible persons of other affiliated companies, a total of 12 people, all present.

There is no doubt that the people who can attend the meeting today are not only the confidants of Zhu Ke, but also the leaders of the entertainment industry.

"Um!"

Zuke nodded and said solemnly: "Today's meeting, I think some people have guessed something. That's right, today, I officially announced that I will be working with Wald Pictures, SpongeBob SquarePants, and animation studios. , UPN TV network, these four companies will be integrated to form a group entertainment company under the leadership of the parent company."

Wow wow~~!

The voice fell, and the entire meeting suddenly became noisy.

Many of them, as Zhu Ke said, had already guessed some of them before the meeting started, but when Zu Ke officially announced the news, he was still unavoidably shocked.

After all, these 4 companies are too young!

Among them, the longest established company is Wald Pictures!

But after all, it has only been established for more than a year. Looking at the entire Hollywood, it is a completely new company that cannot be renewed.

The most important thing is that these heads of various companies here will no longer be under one person or over ten thousand people. From now on, their heads will not only be Zhu Ke alone, but also the existence of the head office.

To be honest, no one wants to have an extra leader on their head!

"Boss, which company is our head office? What's its name?"

James couldn't help but ask.

"Good question!"

Zhu Ke immediately clapped his palms and said to the lawyer Zhang Wei, "Lawyer Zhang, tell everyone."

For a time, everyone's eyes were focused on lawyer Zhang Wei.

"Good morning everyone!"

"There are people who know me and some who don't, so I'll give a brief self-introduction."

"My name is Zhang Wei, male, 33 years old, working at the Three Stars Law Firm in California, and also Mr. Wald's personal lawyer."

"A month ago, I was entrusted by Mr. Wald to hire a social enterprise investigation company to conduct a detailed investigation of the companies under the responsibility of everyone present. Of course, the investigation was conducted in secret, but it also Some problems have been exposed."

"That's a serious waste of resources!"

"To this end, Mr. Wald is determined to integrate several companies, integrate the resources of each company, and set up a group entertainment and media company. To maximize the functions of each company, make each subsidiary company under the leadership of the newly established parent company. , to be able to get a longer-term development in Hollywood.”

Zhang Wei said solemnly: "Everyone, the head office, Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group, came into being!"

Jin Dawn?

Golden Dawn Entertainment Group?

Is this name a bit low? !

Well, everyone present, even if they are not satisfied with the name, can only hold back.

Who made Zucker the boss!

Golden Dawn Entertainment Group? For this name, Zu Ke himself is quite satisfied, with a feeling of "red romantic bath center".

"Boss, can I ask a question?"

At this moment, Ms. Donna, the newly appointed CEO of UPN TV network, raised her hand.

"Of course." Zucker nodded.

Ms. Donna said: "Boss, is the finance between the newly established head office and each subsidiary calculated independently?"

Zu Ke nodded: "Of course it is an independent calculation, otherwise it would be a mess. However, the head office Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group has a special financial audit team that will conduct a review of the financial status of each subsidiary at the end of each quarter. review."

After a pause, he said, "Ms. Donna, do you have any questions?"

"I'm fine for now."

Donna waved her hand.

Financial independence calculation is indeed a very important condition for a comprehensive media and entertainment group. It will improve efficiency as much as possible and avoid excessive restraint. Otherwise, reporting the financial expenditures of each subsidiary one by one will greatly waste manpower and material resources, and even waste precious time.

Of course, the independent financial calculation of subsidiaries will also easily breed a group of moths and embezzle the company's assets.

"Don't overestimate the character of those professional managers!"

This is what Warren Buffett said.

Zu Ke also strongly agrees with the motto of the stock gods.

There are too many things in this world where professional managers associate with relevant senior management of the company, conceal their bosses, embezzle company assets together, and make false claims about their bosses.

Well, it's not uncommon.

Just like Disney!

Disney's CEO Michael Eisner, he was just the chairman of Disney Pictures at the beginning, but he gradually became the CEO of Disney Group, and then boarded the throne of Disney's chairman, through a series of acquisitions and share expansion. , kicked the members of the Disney family off the board one by one.

Disney in the late 90s, almost became his Michael Eisner Disney!

It's a complete stance!

"If this is placed in the ancient times of China, it would be a powerful minister who forced the emperor to death!"

Therefore, even though Zucker had a lot of ideas in his mind and was able to set up many companies at one time, he never thought that he would take too big a step, otherwise he would get into trouble.

In addition to the financial audit team that exists alone in the head office, Zhu Ke also prepared other means to prevent the occurrence of a situation where the subsidiary cannot fail.

For example: the right to review important projects, the right to approve the appointment of the senior management of the subsidiary...

Of course, every six months, Zu Ke also intends to hire a professional investigation company to conduct a comprehensive investigation of each company.

"I don't need to be suspicious, but I don't need to be suspicious?"

"In this age where money is paramount, too much blind trust is definitely going to go wrong."

"The future of the company cannot be completely entrusted to the quality of various professional managers!"

Zhu Ke was silent, silently watching the reactions of the people present.

Of course he knew that there would be some people who were uncomfortable.

This series of actions undoubtedly hung a sword over their heads. However, Zu Ke is also very clear that these pains are inevitable for the company to develop better.

if.......

If there are people who are really dissatisfied and make a fool of themselves in their future work, then Zu Ke will definitely take thunderous measures to set an example!

Running a business, just like the ancient feudal dynasties, cannot tolerate any kind-hearted existence.

This is the current Zucker!

If you put it on the diaosizhuke who just passed through, it is estimated that he will not think so much at all.

"Boss, who is the leader of the head office?" Stephen asked.

Hearing this, everyone present was shocked!

The number one position, who doesn't want it?

"Victor Jones!"

Zhu Ke said solemnly: "Please tell me, can you take on this important task?!"

"I must not bear the burden!" Victor nodded heavily.

The voice fell, and many people nodded their heads while showing pity.

Whether in terms of qualifications or ability, Victor is the best candidate for the current head office CEO.

Since then, Jinshuguang Entertainment Media Group has been officially established!
