Top of the Great Era

Chapter 3064 Sincerity

the next morning.

Zhou Buqi slept in.

After waking up, I found that only Dilireya was left in my arms. Her fair face was rosy, her hair was a little messy, and she had a typical lazy and edematous state when waking up in the morning. Her eyes were still watery, and it was quite enjoyable to hold her soft and delicate body in my arms.

Zhou Buqi woke up and looked at the time. It was already past eight in the morning.

He stretched.

Dilireya also wrapped the quilt around her chest and sat up in the bed.

Zhou Buqi is funny sometimes. They are both sleeping naked in the same bed. They have seen everything. But when they get up, they still cover themselves up, as if they are afraid of being seen. It's not just Reya, everyone is like this.

"Tell your agent later that you will not be involved in LeEco's affairs."

"Yeah, I know, I didn't want to participate in the first place."

"Then you are still going?"

Zhou Buqi stood up, found a pair of large shorts to put on, and went to wash up.

Dilireya quickly found a large bath towel and wrapped herself in it, then followed him to the bathroom. "I'm not going there because I want to buy their stocks, but because I don't want people to gossip about them."

"Gossip?" Zhou Buqi was quite puzzled. "What gossip?"

Dilireya whispered, "If people say you are arrogant and unsociable, then you will be exposed."

"What's the secret?"

I don't quite understand Zhou Buqi.

Dilireya said: "In this circle, people are fighting for opportunities. There are so many actresses, but few opportunities, so everyone has to fight for resources and opportunities. If someone doesn't fight and still lives so well, it means that there is a big sponsor behind him. I don't want the outside world to think that way."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "That makes sense."

Dilireya pursed her lips and said, "Is it true? Or is it the phenomenon that Sister Yang Mi told me about? After I observed it, it makes sense. If an actress fights for all kinds of opportunities, and often fights in an unseemly way, or even hurts her friends' feelings, it means that she doesn't have a financial backer behind her. If an actress looks generous, behaves well, and acts like a superior person, and doesn't bother to fight or compete, nine out of ten times she is supported by someone behind the scenes, which gives her the confidence."

"It really is."

"It's like this with an actress, it happens in waves. For a period of time, she will be very exposed, attending all kinds of events and not wanting to miss any opportunities. This means there is no sponsor behind her, so she has to fight for resources. After a while, she becomes indifferent again and has no enthusiasm, which means she has a new backer and someone to rely on, so she doesn't need to run around so hard to get announcements and opportunities. I think they are all stupid, uneducated and superficial."

“Yeah, there’s progress.”

Zhou Buqi washed his face and felt that it was really a good thing to be close to a wise man.

After being with him for a long time, Lian Reya can also speak logically.

Dilireya wiped his face, picked up the electric razor, shaved him, and chuckled, "I went to meet the people from LeTV Pictures because I wanted to get involved. Now the actors and celebrities in the industry are scrambling for LeTV Pictures' stocks. If I don't get involved, I'll be exposed."

Zhou Buqi said: "In the past few years, the successive listings of Huayi, Guangguang Media, and Jieyu Media have really set off a series of capital feasts in the entertainment industry. Many celebrities who participated in them have become wealthy overnight. It is not surprising that they are jealous. Now LeTV Pictures has also seized the desire of celebrities in the entertainment industry to get rich overnight."

Dilireya said proudly: "I have already seen that LeTV Pictures is not going to work."

"Ah? Why is it not working?"

“They’re not sincere.”

"How is it insincere?"

"If you really want to help directors and stars in the industry make money, why do you have to sell stocks? It would be much better to use options, which can tie directors and actors to the company through contracts, and also use the star effect to build the LeTV Pictures brand for a longer period of time."

Dilireya’s explanation made perfect sense.

It's really worth it. Zhou Buqi's eyes lit up and he was surprised, "You know a lot!"

Dilireya said happily: "I am learning. During the time when Sister Yang Mi was pregnant and had a baby, I also participated in the studio's affairs. If LeTV Pictures adopts the option model, then I will definitely believe it."

The option model also encourages celebrities to buy LeTV stocks.

But the difference is different.

Now LeTV Pictures is selling stocks in the industry, so many directors, producers, screenwriters, and actors are rushing to buy LeTV Pictures' original shares. This requires real money, and only by paying money can you get the stocks.

The options model is different.

This is "predestined".

  For example, if you buy 2 shares of stock, you have "reserved" 2 shares of stock. As for whether to pay for these 2 shares of stock, don't worry, just wait and see!

If the option contract is for 5 years, then we’ll talk about it after 5 years.

After 5 years, if the stock price rises sharply, then the option is exercised and 5 shares are purchased at the price 2 years ago, and the difference profit comes out. If the stock price falls sharply after 5 years, then the option is not exercised, which is equivalent to giving up the 2 shares and there will be no loss.

In other words, the option model can ensure that interests are not harmed.

Currently, the most important form of incentive for high-tech companies at home and abroad is option incentive.

The company issues stock options to its employees.

When the stock price goes up, employees can exercise their options and buy at the current low price and sell at a higher price in the future.

  If the stock price drops, then I won’t exercise the option. I can’t buy at a high price and sell at a low price, right?

The advantage of the option model is that it can motivate employees to work harder. If they want to cash out by "buying low and selling high", the entire company must work towards a common goal and run the company well together.

As long as the stock price goes up, everyone in the company, from the CEO to the ordinary employee, can benefit through options.

Of course, outsourcing employees is not an option.

Outsourced employees are not employees of the company and they cannot get options, which will inevitably lead to insufficient work enthusiasm of outsourced employees... Whether the company performs well or not has nothing to do with them, they are just working to earn a salary. This is the same as the employment system of many state-owned enterprises and public institutions, and it is impossible to mobilize their enthusiasm for work.

In the J-model business concept, all employees are excellent. The key is whether the company can inspire the work enthusiasm of every employee through the system. Therefore, Japanese companies all have lifetime employment and believe that layoffs are meaningless.

It is not the fault of employees to lie flat, but the unreasonable design of the enterprise system. Instead of criticizing employees for lying flat, it is better to reflect on which part of the system has gone wrong.

A good system can make bad people good; a bad system can make good people bad.

The system of outsourcing employment will inevitably greatly weaken the work enthusiasm of outsourced employees and greatly reduce their sense of work responsibility. When they write code, they may be messy and just do a passable job, only performing shallow implementations, which will result in many deep logical bugs.

……

Go to the company.

Zhang Yiming went to work.

I need to discuss this with him and start working on the outsourcing issue.

On the way there, Zhou Buqi called Xu Baihui and asked about LeTV Pictures. "Do you know anything about LeTV Pictures? Are they short of money recently? Are they taking advantage of the industry?"

Xu Baihui said: "Yes, we are short of money. We are going to shoot The Great Wall, with a production cost of 1.5 million US dollars, and LeTV Pictures is contributing 1 million US dollars. It is said that there is still a long way to go. We are starting the B round of financing now."

"Round B?"

"Well, it seems that everyone is not optimistic about it. The valuation is very low, and the financing scale is only 3 million... Anyway, it is quite difficult. There is no other way. Let's say that at the price of the B round, it will be fully open to film and television practitioners in the industry, and they are welcome to invest."

"Playing tricks with the capitalists, these stars are miserable enough." Zhou Buqi couldn't bear it. "Don't be vague about this matter. Even if Universal Pictures and you are involved in "The Great Wall" this time, don't have too much hope. LeTV's model won't work."

Xu Baihui said: "I am not vague. When people in the industry ask me about my opinion, I sincerely advise them not to participate. If they have spare money, they might as well buy shares of Jieyu Media."
