Chapter 372 Layout
Su Chen said: "It is no exaggeration to say that if there are jobs with greater development prospects, you will definitely change jobs to realize your higher ideals and create better value."

"Even if Allen retires in the future, it won't be Shirley's turn to take over. At least for 20 or 30 years, you won't be able to run 20th Century Fox."

What he said was very straightforward, everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, so naturally there is no need to play Liaozhai.

"When I bought 20th Century Fox, I didn't meet Shirley. It doesn't mean I want to kick you out of the company. And today, I summoned you two to have a frank talk."

"I appreciate you two very much. Next, I want to prevent several other companies from strangling our 20th Century Fox. Therefore, Shirley, I am going to hire you to lead my business in Hong Kong DreamWorks."

"Me?" Shirley was taken aback. She didn't expect the boss to make such an arrangement, let alone be so direct.

Even Allen was taken aback, his boss was too straightforward.

Su Chen nodded: "Yes, although the Hong Kong DreamWorks branch bears the name of the branch, I want to make it a Hong Kong local company alone. Looking at Hollywood, only Shirley is the most suitable for you, and Alan will help me He's not the right guy to sit in Los Angeles."

"And you, if you are willing to help me manage the Hong Kong branch, you will be responsible for all the business of this film company, including planning, production, distribution, peripherals, etc., and you will only be responsible to me."

"You are in charge of the company's money and power, and Hong Kong DreamWorks' main direction in the future should focus on the Chinese mainland market in addition to facing the European and American markets."

"Hollywood is still dominated by you, Allen, focusing on what I just said, transitioning comics to movies. The failure of Marvel does not mean that we will also fail. Other aspects remain unchanged."

"In the company, the principle I believe in is to leave professional things to professional people. Shirley can't give full play to your abilities in Hollywood. Since I am the boss of the company, I have the obligation and responsibility to give you a A higher platform allows you to play."

Shirley couldn't help thinking seriously about Su Chen's words.

When she learned that the new boss was looking for her, she was still wondering if the boss was going to drive her out of the company.

In the end, I didn't expect the new boss to be so honest with him. For a moment, the grievance that Su Chen didn't make an appointment to meet him when he bought the company disappeared.

In fact, Su Chen didn't believe that Allen would not betray him at all. Most of the time, the reason why he didn't betray was because he didn't have enough bargaining chips.

But now he has no one to use, so he can only find a way to fool this old fritter.

Su Chen went on to say: "Hollywood is a place with serious sexism. Even if I don't say it, Shirley, you can feel it. Don't look at your beauty in front of outsiders, but it's like a person who drinks water and knows how warm he is."

"The business in Hong Kong is entrusted to you, not because of your gender discrimination. On the contrary, you are one of the Hollywood women I admire the most. Hong Kong DreamWorks has only one general manager. There is no such thing as a board of directors. You directly use the president's identity in the past."

"In a word, if you want money, give money, if you want people, give power, if you want power, give power!"

Because the business in Hong Kong is developing slowly in the hands of Zhou Jianren, and it has not kept up with the development of Hollywood.

Only Shirley, a strong woman, can develop it better. At the same time, only when the Hong Kong company is developed can it be more comprehensive in the domestic market.

The development of late-stage technology companies requires large sums of money. Without money, talking about everything is empty.

Only by developing film and television can there be enough money for research and development, and Su Chen wants to acquire Nokia without a large sum of euros, which will not work. These are all preparations for later development.

It's all about money!

If you have money, you can do whatever you want!

Allen didn't know how to describe his mood, and the boss was frighteningly straightforward.

Shirley thought about it for a while, and then said: "Boss, thank you for being honest with me, when will I leave for Hong Kong?"

"As soon as possible." Su Chen nodded, and continued: "If there is nothing else, then let's adjourn the meeting."

"Boss, I have a question." Allen said.

"Dude, tell me."

"If Shirley goes to Hong Kong to host work, does that mean that we need to communicate with each other? For example, Hollywood movies can be screened in Hong Kong, and Hong Kong films can be screened in Hollywood?" Allen asked.

Su Chen nodded: "It must be business interoperability. Guys, I just separated the company, which doesn't mean separation, and the kind that doesn't interact with each other. Hong Kong companies develop the Asian market, while Hollywood develops the European and American markets."

"At the same time, I just said that we should beware of other companies messing with us. Naturally, we must unite together. But if Shirley goes to lead the business in Hong Kong, you will no longer be superiors and subordinates, but colleagues. You will be directly responsible to me. If the headquarters If anyone has an opinion, I will directly buy the shares in his hands."

Although there are hundreds or even thousands of film production companies in Hollywood, the power in Hollywood has always been firmly controlled by the eight major film and television companies.

Now that Su Chen is reforming 20th Century Fox, it is natural to prevent these companies from messing with themselves.

Arranging Shirley to Hong Kong is his backup.

This woman has a far-sighted vision, and 80% of the movies she invests in are profitable.

Hong Kong was once hailed as the "Hollywood of the East". In fact, Hong Kong movies have sunk to the west, and they are playing to death by themselves.

Once Su Chen's layout in the country is completed, and then combined with Hollywood, in the future, the film and television industry can basically be regarded as stable, but just being stable does not mean that we can relax our vigilance.

Again, this is only part of his plan.

His plan is to make money from all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Likewise, this plan is also a top priority.

It will be easier to plan later if the plan is laid out first.

"Boss, I will leave for Hong Kong as soon as possible, and leave tomorrow." Shirley said, "But I don't know if there is anything you need to tell me?"

Her plan is to go to Hong Kong to have a look first. If the boss sends herself to the frontier, then she has to consider whether to stay in the company.

Su Chen shook his head: "There's no need to be so anxious. I'm worried about you going to Hong Kong alone. How about this? I'll arrange someone to take you to Hong Kong and go to the company to familiarize yourself first."

"Okay boss." Shirley nodded.

"Since there is nothing to do, let's end the meeting." Su Chen said, "Because I don't come to the company many times, if you have any questions, you can communicate with me in time."

Allen said: "Boss, it's rare for you to come to the company, and there is still some time before school starts, why don't we have dinner together tonight?"

"Okay." Su Chen nodded: "It's just us, there is no need to inform too many people, two, you can just arrange a simple dinner, don't need to be too exaggerated."

Allen nodded understandingly to express his understanding.

Seeing that it was time for lunch, the three of them had a simple meal outside, and Su Chen returned to the company's office to prepare for a lunch break. In the afternoon, he had to go to the animation department and the independent company. After the work was over, there were still many things to do.

It is said that this office was left by Zanuck, and it looks very special, especially the sofa.

In addition to the sofa, there is also a rest room inside, this old pervert really knows how to play.

It looks like it has been sanitized, there is no smell, and there is no trace of love.

The bedding and everything are clean.

Su Chen closed the door, threw the quilt aside, lay down on the bed, and was sleeping in a daze, when suddenly he felt someone got under the quilt...
