Chapter 128 Acquiring a Hollywood Film Company

David Afekel was in a bad mood today. He bet it was the worst he had been in 18 years. Just this morning, Kenny Le and his son called him and said he wanted to talk to him. It is known that the company is going to be sold.

He has heard that the boss's business has not been as good as in the past two years, but what he didn't expect is that the boss has reached the point of selling the film company.Efikel's dream is that one day the boss will pay a sum of money to make a movie that hit Hollywood, but this dream has not come true.He didn't want to compete with such giant companies as Universal, Warner, MGM, Paramount, Columbia,... He just wanted to see the company he manages produce a good movie.

What he didn't expect was that the boss actually sold the company to an Asian, and he was an Asian who had never worked with him before.In his impression, Asians are old-fashioned and cautious, while Hollywood is controlled by Wall Street and a place where money speaks. For Asians who respect the upper and lower ranks.

"Maybe the new boss will let someone with yellow skin be the general manager. I should consider finding another way to make a living!" Effikel said to himself in his heart.

The negotiation between the two parties proceeded very quickly, and it only took three days. It was like going to the supermarket to buy a bottle of Coke, and there was no bargaining as he expected. It seemed that the boss really needed a lot of cash to make up for the shortfall in business.Today, the new boss will arrive, and he hasn't even prepared for it.

"You are Mr. David Afkel? I am Li Qing, of course, you can also call me boss!" At the Shangri-La Hotel in Los Angeles, Afkel met the new boss, who was younger than he imagined much.

"Boss, I'm David Effikel, just call me David!" Effikel said cautiously.

"David, you were the one who picked me up in person, thank you so much!" Li Qing smiled, and the other party's cautiousness made him feel a little ridiculous.

"It's okay, this is what I should do. As an employee, isn't it just to serve the boss?" Effikel said, "Boss, have you ever been an actor before?" The other party's pure English with a London accent made him a little be surprised.

"Actor? No, no, I've never done it." Li Qing replied with a smile.

"Oh, boss, not only your familiarity with English surprised me, but also your appearance is very similar to the male lead in an Asian movie I saw a few days ago, but you look cool without you." Effikel Compliments.

"Language is just a tool, David, if you are proficient in Chinese, no one in China will regard you as an ordinary Chinese."

"Well, it is indeed as the boss said." David nodded.

"Let's get back to the topic. What you are most worried about now is actually that you will not be able to manage Sonora Films in the future, right? Don't worry, I will deliver all the details to you one by one!" Outside the hotel , Effikel found his car and opened the rear door, but Li Qing refused, and Li Qing sat in the co-pilot's seat.

Li Qing's deliberate actions made Aifeker feel good about him.

"You can regard me as a boss, but I hope you will regard me more as a film investor. I came here to make films, not to manage a company." Li Qing took a look and was concentrating on driving Farewell to David, "You have served this company for 18 years, and you have helped a small company to thrive in a place full of peers in Hollywood. Who else is more suitable than you to be the general manager?"

David was a little confused.

"There is also a saying in China called 'the tree falls and the monkeys scatter', which means that when the backbone of an organization leaves, other people who are attached to this backbone will leave, because the new backbone will usually start anew." Li Qing looked at Front, "However, I don't think so, I will not interfere in the management of the company. You, Mr. David Effikel are still the general manager. Not only that, I need you to recruit talents, because we need to do a big job!" "

"Big fight? Boss, are you going to invest in filming?" David was a little excited, Li Qing's favorability in his mind had increased to 90.00%.

"Of course, I spent [-] million dollars across the Pacific Ocean, not for sightseeing. How about David, would you help me?" Li Qing said sincerely, "I heard that Americans are willing to Take a chance!"

"Of course! Now I kind of believe that the acquisition of Sonora Films may be a turning point." David danced a little, and even took his hands off the steering wheel.

"Be careful! David, before filming, you have to send me to my destination safely, right?" Li Qing joked.

"Sorry, boss, I'm so excited!" David apologized.

Sometimes, life is like a dream, with ups and downs, but David did not have any confidence in the future at the moment, but he is full of expectations for the future at this moment.

Li Qing also becomes serious, and can no longer do nothing like before, after all, the current company has not been handed over smoothly.

In fact, Sonora Films is at best a member of the third echelon in Hollywood, not to mention being compared with giants such as Disney, Columbia, and DreamWorks. It is precisely because he is inconspicuous that it is more convenient to acquire .Another one is that the sale price of Sonora Films is relatively cheap, only costing Li Qing [-] million US dollars.

Sonora Pictures is located in Diplomatic, Los Angeles, in an old five-story building.Among the newer high-rise buildings nearby, it is like a small dwarf under the towering trees of the forest, unremarkable.

For all employees of Sonora, today is an unusual day, because the new boss is coming.For most of these people who have worked in Sonora Films for a long time, they have mixed feelings. Although working in this company is not as beautiful and enviable as those big film companies, it will not get the media However, the working atmosphere of this company is very good. The general manager, Mr. David Effikel, is respected by everyone, and his salary is not bad, but he has been replaced today, and he is a Chinese.

Now everyone from the manager, to the security guard in the foyer, fears losing their jobs.

The current work has basically come to a standstill, and everyone is full of pessimism about the company's future. Maybe until now, only the company's name is still the same as before.

"Maybe this Huaxia person is here, and Gonggang may be prosperous from now on!" Only the employees who have just joined the job will think so.

When Li Qing came to the company, the employees in the company were very curious about this new and old man, and they poked their heads out in twos and threes to look at this young Asian.

"David, introduce me to everyone, everyone is also very curious about me!" Li Qing told David with a smile.

"Okay, boss!" David replied, and he immediately called the managers of the company's various departments and some ordinary employee representatives into the conference room.

Sitting in the conference room, Li Qing quickly looked at these uneasy subordinates.

"David, how about a cup of coffee for each of the gentlemen and ladies?" Li Qing said, which made the people in front of him relax a little.

"Of course it's okay. Do you want tea?" David knew a little about the eating habits of Asians, and he was very thoughtful, which made Li Qing smile.

"If there is, that would be the best!" Li Qing nodded in agreement. Sometimes as a leader, asking subordinates to serve him a little bit will make them feel valued...

"Sonora's partners, my name is Li Qing, and I'm from Huaxia. Before I came here, I was thinking, can I develop this company well? I think everyone sitting here thinks the same way." Li Qing said, someone made eye contact, showing knowing eyes.

"That's normal, I changed my mind when I met Mr David Effikel."

The employee below showed a questioning expression.

"Why do you say that? I suddenly thought, why am I in charge? I didn't know anyone here an hour ago. And Mr. David Effikel has served the company for 18 years, and all the people here Everyone respects him. In Hollywood, there are so many companies like ours, but Mr. David Effikel has kept this company standing. This shows that Mr. David Efekel is the only candidate for the general manager. "

Li Qing made a lot of preparations before coming to this company, and of course investigated David's background, so his words obviously won the approval of the listeners, and the work of stabilizing the morale of the army needs to be added: "And I, a Businessman, my job is to make movies to make money, and I will not interfere with administrative work, and the current rules and regulations will not change, but I am very worried!"

"Sir, are you worried about the salary burden? Or layoffs?" This is the usual fate of a company after it is acquired by an outsider. It may not be common to cut wages directly, but it is an excuse to use mergers to achieve staff reduction and salary reduction. This is a common method used by bosses.

"Salary? No, no, I don't worry about it. Any job that is required by the company will be paid to match it. I don't think your salary is too high. If anyone thinks that the current salary is too much, I Fire him immediately. Napoleon said that a soldier who does not want to be a marshal is not a good soldier, and I think an employee who does not want to get a high salary is not a good employee! Because he has no higher pursuit and no self-motivation. We are growing stronger, but we are short of manpower." Li Qing brought up Napoleon to talk about it, and estimated that this example has been fully used by countless people all over the world. Although it sounds nothing new, it is simple and clear.

"Boss means that our Sonora Pictures will invest in making movies, which means that we are not laying off employees, but recruiting talents." David interjected, "And as long as the company has sufficient financial resources, it will Consider increasing employees' current salary levels."

"If you have a good recommendation, you can directly recommend it to David. From today onwards, the new Sonora Films will officially enter Hollywood!" Li Qing continued to boost morale, "You will witness the growth of the new company , because you will be one of the reasons why it grows, and each will play 120 percent!"

Li Qing's words gave everyone a reassurance, and some people were already looking for candidates for the company. Although Li Qing didn't reveal his financial strength, after all, he was still not very familiar with the entire film company.

"One more thing, Sonora Films officially changed its name to Silver Star Films from today, do you have any objections?" Li Qing said with a smile.

"No problem." The name of the company doesn't matter to them.

"Well, David, I am now arranging the company's first assignment." Li Qing thought for a while and said, "Go and help me contact the famous Hollywood director James Cameron and ask him to meet. I plan to ask him to direct my this movie."
