Top of the Great Era

Chapter 2107 The Last Move
Liu Qiangdong suggested that the two families celebrate Christmas together?

Zhou Buqi felt that this proposal was too unrealistic, and it was impossible for him to accept it.If you invite him to come to your house as a guest, maybe he will mistakenly think that you have broken into the kingdom of daughters.

Unexpectedly, on the day of the festival, Boss Ma also made such a suggestion.

Zhou Buqi refused without hesitation.

However, he still brought Yang Mi to meet Liu Qiangdong and Boss Ma respectively.

Yang Mi is very popular now, and there are many film appointments, but she doesn't take on roles very much anymore, and she considers herself a female boss.She established her own studio under the name of Jieyu Media, and Dili Reya's agent was in her studio.

In addition, she is also the female boss of an Internet start-up company and the chairman of Farfetch China, a luxury e-commerce company.Although the chairman has little real power and few shares, the symbolic meaning is strong.

Yang Mi is obviously also very responsible.

Farfetch China is a small e-commerce company with extremely high profit margins, but very little traffic and limited audience.So they brought the three little sisters Jiang Bingjie, Li Xinwan and Di Lireya together, and blew the pillow wind for a while, asking boss Zhou for help.

I want to associate Farfetch China with the two domestic e-commerce giants JD.com and Taobao.

Looking at the domestic e-commerce market, there is only one person who can do this, and that is Zhou Buqi, who has a good relationship with both Lao Liu and Lao Ma.

I met Liu Qiangdong first.

This is not said.

Farfetch China and JD.com have always been a cooperative relationship. JD.com even invested US$50 in Farfetch China and got a 5% stake.

Communication was smooth during this meeting.

Next, it's Boss Ma.

It's the same old place, that Japanese teahouse.

Zhou Buqi went there a few times, but he really didn't think that the teahouse was so good, but the proprietress was very gentle and beautiful, spoke English very well, and seemed to be very familiar with Boss Ma, and she always had a happy smile every time they met.

On the way to the teahouse by car, Zhou Buqi asked casually, "How many shares do you hold in that studio?"

Yang Mi held his arm affectionately, leaning her head lightly on his shoulder, "40% is a subsidiary of Jieyu Media. Except for business cooperation, basically I have the final say."

Zhou Buqi smiled and asked, "How many actors have you signed?"

Yang Mi said softly: "Seven or eight, they are all young people of the new generation, and Reya is here. There are also a few pretty little girls, but times have changed, and now the little girls... especially those who study in art schools The girls in my family have been in love since they were twelve or thirteen years old, and their parents are not strict."

Zhou Buqi didn't take it seriously, "You can't say that, there are good girls in every era, it depends on whether you can find them."

If nothing else, just look at the little secretaries newly recruited by the secretariat.

The youngest is 19 years old.

The oldest is even 22 years old.

All of them are as beautiful as flowers, and the suitors around them are in a rush. Aren't they still as guarded as jade and innocent?
Yang Mi pursed her lips and said with a light smile, "Well, when I find a good one, I'll introduce it to you!"

Zhou Buqi didn't take it seriously, "It doesn't matter whether you introduce it or not."

Yang Mi then sighed quietly, "But there are so many people, it's really difficult to manage, I don't know what to do. Some people can't get a film contract after a long time, and their hearts are shaken. I want to borrow a sum of money." money, and then make a TV series, make a TV series by yourself, and then arrange your own people into it."

Jieyu Media also makes TV series, but not many.

The main business is still based on reality shows and movies.It is also a good choice for Yang Mi Studio to mainly develop TV drama business in the future.

Zhou Buqi said: "Well, in the next few years, under the upsurge of streaming media platforms, the TV drama industry will explode rapidly, even making more money than making movies. You can cooperate with Jieyu Media and find more projects. Don't be afraid To borrow money, we must develop rapidly and grow wildly."

Yang Mi couldn't help asking: "What is barbaric growth?"

Zhou Buqi said: "It's better to be in excess than to be in short supply!"

"That's it..." Yang Mi's eyes were full, "That's great!"

Others said that she was somewhat worried.

It's different when Boss Zhou speaks out, not because he is the father of the sponsor, but because of his detached vision and judgment in the business field.

Zhou Buqi went on to say: "As for managing people... Actually, there are skills. The best way to manage people is not to brainwash them. That's the job of pyramid schemes. It's very low-end."

Yang Mi asked: "What is high-end?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Hope."

Yang Mi blinked her eyes a few times, and said with a sense of comprehension: "It's like the Internet? Give options? Use future stocks to tie up the artists under the banner."

Zhou Buqi flicked her head, "What is an option? You have to infer other things from one example! You are an entertainment studio, what kind of options do you give? You can't give one share!"

It's normal for directors like Lao Mouzi and Xiao Gangzi, or teams like Xu Zheng and Happy Twist to give some shares.

A group of young actors who are filming TV dramas, take a share of the fart.

Yang Mi rubbed her forehead and said in a long voice, "Then what should I do?"

Zhou Buqi said: "On Wall Street, many graduates from prestigious schools receive zero basic salary. In fact, they use a kind of psychological manipulation. As long as you work there for a month, you don't want to leave. You I just feel that I must make money in this life!"

After all, Yang Mi is not a rookie Xiaobai anymore, so she tentatively said, "Shall we compare?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Yes, it's a comparison, it's the extreme psychological shock. In fact, all industries are similar, and there are only a few schools of management."

After a pause, he continued: "When I go to work, I live in the most upscale office building in Manhattan, and the daily afternoon tea is provided by Carlton and Hilton; when I come home from work, I have to squeeze the subway to live in the most ordinary house. It will definitely make you have this kind of comparison. You can’t leave this city, you can’t leave this company, and you just focus on making money. You want to make money, you want to buy a luxury house, and you have to give everything to live a life of excellence. The price. Through comparison to stimulate the comparison in human nature, and to use a hope for the future to guide the inner motivation, there is no need to brainwash. If you go, feel it and you will never be able to leave.”

Yang Mi is also very smart. After thinking for a while, she said slowly: "So I should let my artists come to the company to work when they are free, and provide them with the most advanced food and clothing conditions in the company. If it is a top star , it is even more necessary to hug from the front and back. It forms a kind of contrast."

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "The general logic is the same, you want to go. Just look at the civil servants, few people can come out after entering. The salary is low, the benefits are good, and there is the sense of class superiority behind the power. With people The difference between high and low with others will inspire humanity, and you will try hard to climb from the low level to the high level."

Yang Mi felt her head hurt.

Go back and ask Mr. Xu for advice.

She also thought about cultivating a few good seedlings in her studio and introducing them to this benevolent father. First of all, she must learn management well.If the management is not in place and disobedient, it is better not to introduce.

In the tea room, I met Boss Ma.

At first glance, ho!
Another substitution!

He felt that Zhou Buqi was really young and romantic, and the beauties around him changed one after another.Of course, he has seen this kind of thing a lot, so he didn't find it strange.

Take a closer look, isn't this the female star Yang Mi?
The look in Zhou Buqi's eyes became strange, full of warning and warning.There are many female secretaries, and they have been changed from batch to batch, which is easy to say.However, one should be more cautious when mixing with female stars.

Seeing his strange eyes, Zhou Buqi worried that he had other thoughts, so he snorted, pulled Yang Mi to sit beside him, and declared his sovereignty over her, "Old Ma, I need your help."

"What are you busy with?"

Boss Ma sighed secretly, thinking that he should persuade him more when he has the opportunity in the future, because he was afraid that he would not be able to control it when he was young.If he is at an age like his own that is not confused enough to know his destiny, he will definitely not persuade him at all!
Zhou Buqi didn't show any politeness to him, so he talked about Farfetch China, an e-commerce platform, and wanted to add a channel on Taobao and add Farfetch China to it.

Boss Ma said bluntly, "Yes, but Ali wants to invest in Farfetch China."

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "It's a deal!"

Next, let's talk about the real big thing-Yahoo.

However, Yang Mi was also present, so it was inconvenient to say more about some things, so I could only give a rough idea.

Boss Ma looked a bit smug, "It's almost there, you can get the money ready."

Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows, "It's all done?"

Boss Ma smiled, "Almost."

Zhou Buqi asked, "Where's Lao Yang?"

Boss Ma shook his head and sighed, "As you wish, you will be kicked out of the board of directors by the management."

Zhou Buqi was somewhat surprised, "Are you really going to leave?"

Boss Ma said sympathetically: "Of course he doesn't want to leave, but what can he do? The pressure from the board of directors, shareholders, and public opinion from the outside world is too great. Three years ago, he thought the price was too high. He didn’t sell it at a low price; the current highest offer is only 446 billion US dollars. Not to mention the external pressure, even the pressure in his heart. There is a piece of hair behind his ear, which has all fallen out in the past few days, and he is bald. The pressure is too great.”

Zhou Buqi nodded, "What about the conditions? Just a CEO?"

Boss Ma smiled and said: "Two, this should be his last plan and last move for this company. If it doesn't work this time, it will be completely useless. Apart from the new CEO candidate, there is also fundraising. To find a source of financing for the development of the business for the new management.”

"20% in stock?"

"Correct!"

"Great!"

Zhou Buqi gave him a thumbs up.

Although he didn't know how Boss Ma talked with Yang Zhiyuan, but judging from the results, Boss Ma really succeeded.No matter what happens to Yahoo, Boss Ma's goal has been achieved, and he will take back 20% of Ali's shares from Yahoo!
