Chapter 524 Stan Lee's Obsession
"It is true that there are so many things to deal with, but you also know that I have so many people under my command now, it is impossible for me to do everything." Su Chen said.

Eaton nodded appreciatively: "That's right, buddy, I told you that first-class top managers only do three things: know people, employ people, and distinguish between rewards and punishments."

"That's right." Fan Erlin interrupted and said, "Su, let me tell you about my experience."

"Mr. Fan Erlin, please speak."

"Don't let too many people participate in politics within the company, lest the voices be too many and mixed, and it is easy to point fingers in the daily operation of the company and destroy the rules of the business management game.

If there is always a slogan of "I am thinking of the company" on the lips, but there are often people who do "bad" things with good intentions, it will cause employees to be at a loss, which will greatly affect the internal atmosphere of the company and the overall operational efficiency. "

Fan Erlin said: "A good shareholding can help the company attract talents, capital and resources, and jointly make the cake bigger. What will be achieved is the "entrepreneurship story and partners". If the shareholding is not well divided, the cake will not be big. Entrepreneurial Accidents and Dissolution of Partners."

"Mr. Fan Erlin, thank you for your advice, I will always remember it." Su Chen bowed to him.

Fan Erlin stood up: "Guys, I still have a lot of things waiting for me in my office. Let's drink tea together if we have a chance."

Su Chen and Eaton sent him outside the office door.

Seeing him leave, the two returned to the office.

Su Chen asked curiously: "My father-in-law, didn't you say you have something to share with me?"

"Sands Casino is about to be renovated, and I believe it will be open soon." Eaton said: "If there are no accidents, it will be able to start business this year."

"Really? I have already negotiated with Macau, maybe we can introduce business to Macau." Su Chen thought for a while, and then said: "But I don't have time to visit Las Vegas recently, so I still have time I need you to keep an eye on my father-in-law, and besides, you are the owner of the Sands Casino now."

"Fuck, you're just lazy!" Eaton blew his beard and stared in an instant, "Su, I've seen through what kind of person you are, not only did you lie to my daughter, you also poached Bernice from me, and And let me work for you!"

Facing Eaton's fury, Su Chen said seriously: "My father-in-law hates his son-in-law more and more. I can understand that. In addition, I want to develop a record company recently. Father-in-law, can you buy one for me?"

"Su, you are so easy to be beaten to death, do you know?" Eaton sighed and teased each other, and he continued: "Last time I told you about George's investment, buddy, you did a great job Yes, the little guy is almost like the boss of the cavalry now, on TV all day."

"I always have to make plans for my own investment, but I don't have that much time to manage it. I can only leave it to George. He has begun to look like a politician." Su Chen suddenly remembered something: "You rich countries Isn’t the bank going to the Soviet Union to start banking? How are you preparing now?”

"I have arranged for people to go there, and I believe that a report will come back soon. If you are interested, I can help you within the scope of permission." Eaton said seriously: "Believe me, going to the Soviet Union to work in the banking industry is the best way now." The right time."

"I do have this idea, can you tell me the way of your contacts in the Soviet Union?" Su Chen thought for a while: "I don't have so much time to go to the Soviet Union at the moment, I can only arrange the following people to go."

"If you see your person in charge over there, I believe things should be simpler, and it will be more convenient for multiple people who understand the situation in the Soviet Union."

Eaton took out a letter from the drawer: "It's a coincidence that you came here. I was going to send this letter back to China to you, and it happens to be delivered to you now. This is the address of our branch in the Soviet Union. details."

"Okay, then when I return to China, I'll get someone to contact you." Su Chen took the letter and said, "You're still at work, so I won't bother you. I'll go home for dinner tonight."

Eaton naturally has no objection, he is currently at work and busy.

Send Su Chen outside, and then return to the office.

"Boss, where should we go first?" Huang Ying asked.

"Is there any plan for my itinerary today?"

Huang Ying took out her notebook, opened it, looked at it, and said, "I don't have any other schedule for today."

"Okay, let's go to Marvel."

Because I haven't been there since I left the United States.

Marvel is actually Marvel, but it’s really not called Marvel now, it’s just that Su Chen is used to calling it Marvel.

In the original time and space, Marvel has been suffering from the economic crisis, and the poor company is facing bankruptcy crisis. Selling the film rights of its works is the best way to protect itself-once a work is made into a movie, no matter whether the film box office loses or not. Earn, Marvel has a share, money is king.

Secondly, selling the copyright is also the wish of Stan Lee, the cartoonist and creator of most of the characters in Marvel Super Heroes.

This old man, who frequently appeared in superhero movies, has been planning to bring these heroes to the big screen since the 70s, but Marvel's own economic strength did not allow it at that time, and the film technology was not mature enough.

From 1986 to 1996, most of Marvel's superheroes were bought by various film companies, especially Sony bought the copyrights of "Spider-Man" and "Venom", and 20th Century Fox bought "X-Men", The copyrights of "Fantastic Four" and "Deadpool" make it impossible for these heroes to form a team.

Of course, this matter will not happen now. With Shengshi’s capital injection, coupled with Shengshi’s mature ILM, Fox Animation and Fox Pictures, Stan Lee sees the spring.

Maybe one day I wake up and hear the boss say that I can shoot these superheroes.

I am very passionate about my work every day, and I look forward to bringing these superheroes to the screen as soon as possible.

On the way to work today, I suddenly heard the guys come to him in a hurry, saying that the boss is coming.

Stan Lee hurried out of the office.

As soon as he walked to the door, he met Su Chen.

Su Chen stretched out his hand first: "Old man, are you okay?"

"Boss, long time no see." Stan Lee shook hands with him and said, "Quick, please in the office, I just bought coffee yesterday, just so you can try it."

"Old man, you were not like this before." Su Chen joked with him with a smile: "Now you are suspected of flattering, go, let's go to your office."

Stan Lee's feelings towards the new boss can't be said to be good or bad, because since he bought the company, he hasn't appeared in the company. He just parachuted a financial manager who didn't care about anything, and nothing else changed.

What it was like before is still what it is now, and many people don't even feel that they have changed bosses.

The only thing that's certain, though, is that Stan Lee felt his talents were truly being used.

As long as the character that the boss doesn't like is eliminated, the task has been completed, and there is no particularly important task for him, such as market share and the like.

"Boss, I think we have to flatter the boss once in a while." Stan Lee joked, but made a few cups of coffee himself.

Su Chen said to the assistant and bodyguard: "Sit down."

After sitting down, Stan Lee said: "Boss, when do you think we will be able to bring these superheroes to the screen?"

This matter has almost become his obsession, and he has always thought about bringing these heroes to the screen, but since the Spider-Man who shoots spider webs as thick as a thumb, this heart has temporarily died.

But now that Sheng Shi has ILM, which is particularly good at special effects, he picked up this belief again.

"Dude, this idea can't be realized yet, because our technology still needs to be developed." Su Chen said: "Believe me, I also really want to put these superheroes on the screen, but since our current technology is immature, That’s why the plan has been shelved again and again.”

"Dude, I can promise you that within ten years, within ten years, we will definitely move all these superheroes to the screen." He said seriously: "If we move all these superheroes to the screen, I hope you This guy who gives the soul of a superhero could be an Easter egg in the movie."

In fact, Stan Lee has always been a highlight of Marvel movies as an easter egg, and many fans have guessed when he will appear.

"Really?" Stan Lee couldn't believe it.

Su Chen sighed: "Dude, as the boss, I dare not even make this promise to you? Believe me, if we can move these superheroes to the screen, then I will start the superhero project immediately. I hope it can be realized sooner than any of you, but the film technology is not mature enough now."

"Boss, with your words, I am satisfied. I will work hard until I can put all these superheroes on the screen." Naturally, Stan Lee would not think about making superheroes out within this time. .

This is a huge plan, and it needs to be mature in all aspects of technology to make it happen.

"You let the guys work hard. I hope we can run this comic company well and come up with more and better works."

Su Chen took a sip of coffee, thought for a while, and said, "If you have anything to do, you can just contact Grace directly. It's up to you to lead the company's development."

This is also to prevent some people from spreading the "yellow peril theory" again. Sony later entered American movies, which made Americans panic.

Movies have always been the pride of Americans, and Sony's involvement caused panic in public opinion.

Morita has repeatedly stated that "this is not an invasion of Japanese benzene culture, we do not want to send Japanese benzene managers into Colombia."

Dahe sticks to Sony's motto of "global localization" and emphasizes that the key to success after the acquisition lies in "not highlighting the characteristics of Nippon Benz" and ensuring that the acquired company maintains American characteristics.

There is no such public opinion now, but it does not mean that there will be no such public opinion in the future, so this possibility should be eliminated in the bud.

"Understood." Stan Lee nodded seriously.

After drinking coffee, Su Chen walked around the company and left directly.

He has always wanted to buy a record company, but now that he is short of cash, an internationally renowned record company can't afford it at all, so he can only turn his attention back to Hong Kong and Taiwan, China.

What's more, this plan does not have to be rushed to the layout now.

You can wait until the end of the 90s. At that time, Philips' main business was unclear, some core products continued to have low profitability, and the external brand image gradually declined.

Wait for Philips to streamline its business and divest all businesses that have nothing to do with its main business, that is, semiconductors, lighting, consumer electronics, etc., and then buy it by itself.

After thinking for a while, he turned to look at Huang Ying: "You record the following information..."
