American Fortune Life
Chapter 1721: The foundation is fastened
"... I like the words of Tianchao, which probably means‘ whoever you meet, she is the one who should appear in your life. It is no accident that she will teach you something. '
So I also believe that no matter where I go, that's where I should go, to experience something I should experience, to meet the person I should meet, to own the person I should have! "
At first I felt that Andy's words were full of philosophy, but the more he heard the more speechless, this is to use fatalism to find a theoretical basis for his own abuse, the degree of shame is amazing.
"Well, I have nothing to say, just be happy!" Carl said with a sigh of constipation.
"What's the matter, let's not say it on the phone, I still have to come over." Andy raised his eyebrows, telling the truth, for him now, in his few pursuits , The goddess brought him the thrill and sense of accomplishment, just as the mountaineer climbed Mount Everest to look out on the mountains.
After hearing Andy's inquiries, Carl stood up, walked around to his desk, took out a document bag from the drawer, opened it, took out a few documents from it, and handed it to Andy to explain: "This is the information of Cirque du Soleil , Someone wants to pass me and ask if you have any intention to invest in Cirque du Soleil. "
When Andy heard Carl's introduction, he didn't go to see the materials in his hand, but raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly: "The famous Cirque du Soleil, want me to invest? Oh, the investment is fine, if Lalibert is willing, I can I'm not interested in acquiring them as a whole.
Then, Andy threw the documents in his desk onto the desk very casually, without any interest in looking through them.
"Okay, I will repeat your words to them. However, it may be difficult to acquire all the shares, but absolute control may not be possible." Carl nodded and smiled.
"Oh? Is Cirque du Soleil already in such a predicament? Will Gallibert be willing to give up?" Andy was a little surprised to hear Carl's words, and got a little interest in advance.
After all, the Cirque du Soleil, which claims to be able to shake the world without animals, is definitely the most famous and most profitable circus in the world. I believe that no one who has been to Las Vegas will go to a Cirque du Soleil. Big show, seriously, the first time you watch it, it will be really shocking!
"Oh, how many people have a better life under the economic crisis!" Carl shook his head and laughed. "As one of the world's largest circuses, last year, Cirque du Soleil encountered the first non-profitable year in history. Although this one One very important reason is that their profit model is still very single. Relying on tickets, the gambling industry is generally sluggish, and the risk of increasing the number of touring shows and repertoires is large, on the one hand because of the high cost of touring and low profit margins. One aspect is that different culture audiences' acceptance of Cirque du Soleil may be different. If innovation can be successfully realized, there are not many problems. But the point is that the high cost of innovation has not received sufficient returns.
As for Galla Libert, since the shares of the collaborators were acquired at a mysterious price in 2001 and 95% of the shares were controlled, the profit and loss of Cirque du Soleil directly affected his asset profit and loss. In this economic environment, he does not Changing the single profit model and carrying out the process of diversification, I am afraid that life will become more and more difficult. I am afraid that finding a partner is the choice he has to make. "
Andy nodded, groaned, and said lightly: "Okay, let ’s get in touch first. I want absolute control. I can guarantee the independence of their original team in business operations and avoid it to the greatest extent possible. External influences. Remember, it is professional business operations, not the right to operate the entire circus. If you want to become the independent kingdom, then everything is free, and I do n’t lose their tens of millions of profits every year. "
"Okay." Carl didn't say much, and Andy's request was clear.
"Okay, I'll go first. Let her help her arrange what she needs." Andy stood up from the boss' chair, dragged the hem of his suit, and asked Carl.
"Relax, there are smart people around her."
"Well, it's almost time, and there's a meeting over Universal ..." Then, Andy walked towards the door, and Karl stepped forward to open the door, followed by Andy, and sent Andy out of the company. It wasn't until the elevator doors were closed that Carr turned around and returned.
In the conference room of the Universal Pictures headquarters, Andy was lazily nestled in the boss chair, with his right arm on the side of the conference table, and a signature pen rotating in his right hand. He listened with ease to Universal Pictures management. Report.
"... According to our information, the number of visitors to Disney theme parks, including Disneyland and Disney World, has fallen recently. In response to the financial crisis that has swept across the United States, Disney plans to lay off 1,200 people and vacate 700 jobs. The layoffs will be targeted primarily at Disneyland in Orlando, Florida. "
"Da!"
The rotating stylus in Andy's hand stopped suddenly, and he put it on the desk with a crisp sound. "People stared at their layoffs, the 1900 layoffs. I think there will be some talents, especially the middle class. Managers, next month, I will go to the Tianchao. At that time, I will inspect and implement the plan to build a global theme park in the Tianchao Capital. I think we will need some people.
By the way, this time, with the exception of Rob, everyone else flew with me to complete the acquisition of the last nine percent of Universal Studios Osaka. You can also take a look at the business model of Universal Studios Osaka. It is necessary to learn! "
"Boss, if the Universal Studios project in Beijing is established, then not only will a large amount of capital be invested, I am a bit worried about the investment environment of the Dynasty, but the number of tourists in Universal Studios Osaka in the future will inevitably be greatly affected ..."
Andy waved his hand and interrupted the opinions of his subordinates, saying lightly: "No, why would Goldman Sachs hand over the 41% of the shares in it?"
"Moreover, every theme park is different, isn't it? Disney can build one in the foot basin, and another in the heavenly hk, and dare to build another in the magic city, why? Just to make money? I don't even understand this, why do you Sitting in this meeting room? "
Andy's cold eyes made the executive who had just spoken pale, and Andy retracted his eyes without looking at each other, moved the boss chair backwards, stood up, looked around and said lightly: Freeman, give him an extra month's salary and let him get away, I don't feed waste here! "
"Okay, boss." Robert Freeman nodded eagerly and sternly, and the executive was already ashamed and buzzing. At this moment, he still didn't want to understand that he only offered a suggestion. Why was he fired.
"After the meeting!" Andy stepped towards the door of the conference room, and everyone else hurriedly stood up, congratulating the big boss to leave. After Andy left, everyone looked at the name with sympathy. The executive shook his head and left the conference room one by one.
"These idiots are still looking at the Tianchao market with their old eyes. This time I go to Tianchao and let those executives who have not been there go to see it. Other companies are rushing to enter Tianchao and compete for the market. Some people believe that Those one-sided reports ... "
In the office, Andy whispered to Robert Freeman, who had just reported to the boss after the executive had dealt with it.
"It's really time for them to take a look and refresh their cognition." Universal Filmmaker eo Robert Freeman, who just returned from Tianchao and hosted the Universal Studios Tianchao branch in Beijing, agrees. Development, Robert Freman's visit this time was really shocked. Although he was not the first time to go to the dynasty, but also separated by five or six years, at that time, he still represented Paramount to the dynasty to talk about movies Introduced.
