Chapter 1239: Multiply with crooked brain holes and co

"Yes, dear, I have something to discuss with you."

In a Maybach car on Manhattan Street, Andy said to Ivana, who was reading a newspaper next to him.

"Yeah." Ivana said quietly, turning the newspaper while waiting for Andy's next.

"That's it. I'm going to recruit five flight attendants. This time I'm back. On the plane, I even brewed the coffee myself. It's a bit inconvenient."

"Ok?"

"Wow" Ivana frowned slightly, closed the newspaper, then her eyes flickered, her lips slightly tilted, and she looked at Andy with a smile, and Andy looked at her calmly and shrugged her shoulders. .

Ivana groaned, then raised her eyebrows and turned her lips upwards. While she opened the newspaper in a fake look, she said lightly, "Yes, at the last level, I will host the interview, and say that the stewardess is just a very simple job. You do n’t need too many special skills, and it does n’t mean that you ca n’t do it when you are older ... ”

The corner of Andy's mouth twitched unnaturally, and sure enough, this savvy woman was really going to get a bunch of flight attendants to get on the plane, but Andy, who had been expected long ago, would naturally not easily face his own housekeeper. Surrender.

"Oh, that ’s it. I ’m going to recruit for a global stewardess with an annual salary of $ 200,000. In order to better promote am TV, I want to make this a variety show, just like a beauty pageant. Of course, looks are not The most important thing is to let them pk show, let the audience participate in the interaction, determine the top five, become our flight attendant of the private jet, the first will be the flight attendant, I think this will become a big gimmick, attract people His eyes, whether it's advertising or naming, are a good gain ... "

When I heard Andy's brain hole proposal, Ivana, who was still a bit tired and helpless, was also bright. Although she acknowledged that Andy's idea was very good, it would be very attractive to become a flight attendant on Andy Smith's private jet. The annual salary of 200,000 US dollars is almost four times the annual salary of all airline flight attendants. This show is likely to be successful, but this will undoubtedly give her an annoyed feeling that his men screen beautiful women to serve him worldwide.

Some eyes were sharp and Andy looked at each other, and Red **** also slightly beaked, not looking very happy.

"I want you to be the main judge. We can even contact a local tyrant like Abu, a rich person or company that intends to add a flight attendant to his private jet. We can all contact the flight attendant's selection program is still blank. There is an audience market.

Regardless of etiquette, vision, fashion sensitivity, etc., you are the most suitable as the main judge. We can also embed the Ivana brand in the entire program. What do you think? "

Andy originally only had such an idea to dispel Ivana's jealousy, but talking about it, it was found that it may not be a mess, and Ivana also jumped out from the previous little depression and eliminated her own home. Men may be careful to find benefits for themselves, this idea is indeed a good idea.

"We can make this show a brand. The first season is to recruit our private jets. If the effect of the broadcast is good, I think someone will come to the next season. You can also rent a private jet when you are a flight attendant. This propaganda will increase my own fame. I think there will be many rich people who are willing to spend this money to continue this program! "Andy stretched his hand and pinched Ivana's chin with a triumphant smile.

"You are really ..." Ivana shook her head in tears, but this idea is a very good idea. Some rich people don't mind spending millions to get a chance on TV, such as her My dad, cough.

On the contrary, the thing that I was worried about before has become less worried. This kind of thing can't be prevented, and this program is really going to run, it will also lose the original intention of recruitment to a large extent, and eventually even It may turn into a reality show. A private jet flight attendant with a yearly salary of 200,000 US dollars may not finally let some girls who feel themselves famous become the focus, which will become a focus of the topic again.

"You can give it a try, but if the show is to be exciting, I'm afraid you need to plan it well. You can't send meals and water." Ivana said whitely and Andy.

"I just have this idea. I will tell Pleppler about this for a while and let the directors on TV think about it, but now it seems that the recruitment of stewardess has become a reality show, alas, really not Know what it will look like in the end. "

"Giggle, do you think about it? The mentality after becoming famous is not the same, and you may not be able to look at the 200,000-year-a-year job, but is it interesting?" Ivana's mouth slightly tilted and said with a smile. .

"Don't miss the last flight attendant, it's a joke!" Andy twitched a few times, grinning bitterly.

"Giggle ... not necessarily impossible."

Watching Ivana walk into the P building, Andy raised the car window, took out the phone, and called Propeller, and talked about the idea of ​​the air hostess recruitment reality show, and then threw it to After Pleipler, let him call on variety directors to perfect.

It was Andy himself, who soon left the matter behind. He only needed to see five beautiful flight attendants boarding his private jet and providing services to him.

In the Gaia meeting room, Andy sat on the main seat, listening to his subordinates' think tank reports to him.

"GE's eo Jeff Immelt is a typical professional manager. He can even be said to be a bit too professional. His style is to" report good news and not worry ", he doesn't like to hear bad news, and he doesn't like passing bad news. Message.

In the seven years since he took office, the size of GE Capital has shrunk dramatically. In order to maintain performance growth, he continued to buy and buy, buying Vivendi Entertainment for $ 5.5 billion, and buying British medical imaging company for $ 9.5 billion ...

In the subprime mortgage crisis, the reason why GE suffered heavy losses was that Immelt allocated a lot of money to the research and development department. In order to increase short-term profits, he can only ask for financial results.

GE has changed from a company focused on manufacturing to a diversified conglomerate with no clear goals or missions other than short-term profits. This approach worked very well for some time, long enough to make him a hero, and a role model for executives who like this dramatic change.

The bubble burst, short-term thinking began to reveal its limitations, and the huge risks that GE faced also emerged from that strategy.

After suffering this heavy hit, we speculate that GE will return to the old GM road in the next few years, divest most of GE's financial business and real estate assets and businesses that do not match it, and let the company refocus on the core of the past. The business serves manufacturing operations in the aviation, energy and medical markets. "

"The value of any model lies not in short-term success, but in long-term feasibility." After listening to reports from his staff, Andy said with emotion that these professional managers only focused on the immediate profits and kept their thrones. I also have a clear understanding of the limitations of thinking and vision.

This professional manager is a very deadly poison for large companies that want to grow long-term. With a lesson learned, it is undoubtedly very timely for Andy who wants to integrate his assets. He needs to choose himself more carefully The right and left arms of those who can make quick money are not necessarily the most suitable candidates.

"What about nb Universal?" After listening to the above report, Andy was more confident in getting nb Universal from GE. This guy who is anxious to get out of the predicament and wants to sit firmly on the throne is definitely very good to deal with. of,

"For NB," Friends ", which ended in 2004, is an important watershed for them! Since then, NB has never found a suitable program, which can be matched with its" non-seen TV "claim.

And other television networks are beginning to challenge nb for Thursday evening. They arranged the most powerful programs to compete for this time period, and eventually, the nb fortress was easily broken.

The crisis of the program brought about by the departure of "Friends" has not been alleviated to this day. In the 2006-2007 season, among the four major television networks including Fox, nb had 8.9 million viewers, ranking last, down 9% year-on-year. NB's annual revenue dropped from $ 2.9 billion in 2004 to $ 1.9 billion.

In the new season of 2007-2008, nb's new programs were only four TV series, a game program, the smallest of the four television networks. According to the data we obtained from Nielsen, an authoritative rating calculation company in the United States, in the new season, nb's viewing performance will still be the weakest.

At this time, the monopoly of the TV network had long since broken, and its overall audience was losing at an average rate of 10% per year. "

"It seems that the group's advantages and resources cannot solve the lack of nb core program products. Maybe they will be very happy that I become their new boss." Andy raised his eyebrows with some jokes, and said with a little pride.

Everyone in the conference room couldn't help but chuckled. Of course, they were very convinced of the capabilities of their own bosses. Not to mention anything else, just seeing the rapid development of am TV station is enough to explain everything.
