234 Financial distress(1/2)
"Mr. Zhang."
"Boss Zhang."
"Zhang Sheng..."
The scene suddenly became lively.
Zhang Guobin smiled, waved his hand, and said with satisfaction: "That's right... From now on, we will all be colleagues. If ATV wants to prosper, it depends on everyone's efforts."
The directors of the director's department, artist's department and other people sat at three tables and nodded in unison: "Mr. Zhang has moved into ATV, and my colleagues at ATV are all happy."
The target shooter took off his top hat gracefully, revealing a hollow on the side of his head.
He gently blew his breath into the black top hat, and like magic, the ATV executives laughed even more happily.
The three round tables were already filled with appetizers and drinks, and Uncle Jiang and the waiters were still serving the dishes.
Director of the Program Department, Ye Jiabao took the initiative to pour the red wine, raised the glass with both hands, and said from afar: "Mr. Zhang."
"I'll give you a toast."
"Thank you." Zhang Guobin raised the red wine, sat on the chair, and responded with a smile.
"Zhang Sheng."
"I love your movies so much."
The atmosphere became more and more lively.
Zhang Guobin did not refuse invitations from senior executives to drink.
Tonight, I invite all ATV executives to come and have a drink. This is to inspect a group of subordinates of the new company and get to know each other's faces.
After several rounds of drinking, he stood up and introduced one of his right-hand men: "This is the former TVB program producer, Mr. Li Dawei."
"Next week, Li Dawei will go to ATV as the interim president and be responsible for the production of several programs and TV series."
Li Dawei is wearing a suit and has a smart expression.
"Good evening everyone, please look after me in the future."
"Mr. Li, good evening."
"Director Li, I have long admired your name."
Since Li Dawei joined DreamWorks, he has become very famous in Hong Kong. Everyone at the TV station recognizes him. With him as the president of ATV, there is no fault in any aspect.
"Please rest assured that there will be no change in ATV's strategy this year. You can just perform your duties. Mr. Li is only responsible for directing a few works and will not interfere in the rest."
The accounts are managed by a professional accounting firm, so there will definitely be no problems.
ATV has fought back and forth with TVB in history, but it ended up being that the license could not be renewed and it was acquired and reorganized. The deep-rooted reason was political mistakes and the executive-level reason was frequent changes of hands and several changes in strategy. A big
It is actually very easy for a company to cause problems when it changes its owner and then changes its development decisions.
It is normal for a company proprietor to change strategies and place confidants in order to ensure profits. However, Zhang Guobin has someone with a gun behind his back. He is not worried about the disobedience of the company management below. He can just send away those who are disobedient. Therefore, he decided not to change it for the time being.
Qiu Degen's business plan, in fact, there is nothing wrong with Qiu Degen's business plan. Those advanced camera equipment must be used.
The internal management of ATV is full of talented people. It is an old rival of TVB and has the top TV program producers in Hong Kong. The artists are either at TVB or ATV.
For example, in 1986, program department director Yip Jiabao was appointed to produce Mr. Asia, the first Chinese-language male beauty pageant. The ratings soared and helped ATV turn a profit that year, with the company making a net profit of HK$7.1 million.
Zhang Guobin would not destroy the Great Wall to fire them, but would build good relationships with them all.
In the Asian Amateur Singer Competition held by ATV in 1981, a large number of famous artists such as Zhang Guorong, Mao Shunjun, Shao Yinyan, and Yu Sally were signed.
Unfortunately, ATV's management is in disarray, and TVB's vigorous efforts to poach people have resulted in many famous actors leaving ATV. Now ATV's record companies and program teams are lacking a large number of artists.
This is the advantage of TVB and the disadvantage of ATV.
Zhang Guobin's eyes were as bright as a torch and he understood in his heart.
After having a drink and a meal with the heads of departments, he gave each of them a big red envelope and sent everyone away enthusiastically. Many people who came by car went back to their houses by themselves, and private cars without cars were sent to the door. He was very considerate of his subordinates.
Li Dawei stayed with the big boss.
"Zhang Sheng."
"They seem to be very afraid of you."
Zhang Guobin didn't take it seriously and looked back with a chuckle: "Didn't you also scare me at the beginning?"
"It's okay, everyone is just collecting water to support their families."
"It will be OK after working together for a few years."
…
"It seems that Mr. Zhang doesn't have a blue dragon on his left hand, a white tiger on his right hand, a river dragon tattoo on his neck, or Guan Gong on his back. Isn't it as evil as what they wear?"
“The red envelope is quite big!”
"It's over. You won't be able to make false accounts in the future. It's said that Boss Qiu..."
A group of senior executives took the bus home and touched the red envelopes in their hands. They were always in a happy mood.
After a late-night snack with the big boss, they had a preliminary understanding of the big boss. The most important thing was that through the big boss's decision-making, they could vaguely know that the big boss was not a random person.
ATV can run robustly.
…
"This "Sister Tuoqiang" will be my first shot at joining ATV."
"Have a good shot."
Zhang Guobin sat in the Mercedes-Benz car and sent Li Dawei back to his house. He handed him a book and the two exchanged opinions on the management of the TV station.
"I have read this script. It is very interesting and will definitely be very popular." Li Dawei was not blindly confident in Mr. Zhang, but read the script carefully and gave his answer based on his analysis of the market.
This is how TV stations operate. First create a popular TV series and increase the ratings of the TV series. Then other programs will naturally rise.
"In addition, ATV itself had plans to launch artist training classes this year, but due to insufficient funds, ATV suspended the program after preliminary preparations. It would be a pity to suspend it like this."
"If you ask the people in the artist department to officially start promoting it, I will give a sum of money to support ATV."
"Mr. Zhang, this is good news. The entire ATV will support you." Starting an artist training class will cost you money in the early stage, but the artists you train in the later period will be a huge asset. ATV had this plan before and naturally it cannot stop it. If there is
In terms of its own artist training class, ATV cannot continue to compete with TVB. Historically, ATV launched its first artist training class in 1983. Artists who graduated that year included Huang Qiu-sheng, He Jiajin, Ye Yuping, Mai Cuixian and others.
.
"I can't let ATV run worse and worse and then sell it in a few years," Zhang Guobin joked.
"I believe ATV will do better and better." Li Dawei is full of confidence.
"The TV station is a publicity outlet. It's not easy for me to get ATV. If it were controlled by a company like Yongsheng, I'm afraid there would be police officers coming to check every month, and it would be difficult for the TV station to renew the contract. I hope there will be police officers here to entertain me this year."
It’s easy to say anything after this year, but even if it withstands the pressure this year, ATV will not be able to report the negative remarks made by China. All public opinions and news should be objective and make rational comments. If there are any problems in this area, I will be the first to hold you accountable."
This is also a major reason why Zhang Guobin sent Li Dawei as his confidant to ATV.
In the past, the entire ATV had a pro-British atmosphere, and many news had crossed the line. Now if the boss changes, the style will naturally change. If the position is not stable, even if it is against TVB now, it will go bankrupt in a few years. TVB can thrive.
, the deep-seated reason is to stand in line.
Mr. Shao’s teaching buildings were not built for free, and Zhang Guobin earned more than just banknotes by investing in factories in the mainland.
"I understand this, and I must perform my duties well." Li Dawei nodded solemnly.
This is a regulation that the big boss has repeatedly issued.
"In addition, if the artist training class is launched, hehe, I will definitely recruit TVB newcomers. The TVB contract is too harsh. If we relax it a little, a large number of newcomers will definitely sign up." Li Dawei smiled.
"Not bad, he is worthy of someone who has worked in TVB." Zhang Guobin praised highly.
"What's left is to rectify ATV's record company."
Zhang Guobin thought to himself.
"There's not enough money!"
Li Dawei's move to transfer to ATV involves a lot of money. He not only invests in the production funds of ATV programs, but also acquires the remaining ATV stocks. Otherwise, as ATV's ratings increase, the OTC stocks will only get higher and higher.
Everyone knew that an owner would take over.
He still can't give up ATV's record company and artist training, and then recruit directors to take over the series of "Happy Ghost", "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers", "Inspector 500 Million"...
So poor.
Zhang Guobin ordered to go directly to New Art City to recruit Huang Baiming, and to TVB to recruit Liu Guoshang, who had just emerged, in order to strengthen the director team of DreamWorks.
For the first time, Zhang Guobin experienced the abnormal pleasure of being worth more than one billion but worrying about money. It was difficult!
So damn!
The landowners also had no food left.
"Where can I get money?"
Zhang Guobin looked sad.
The Mercedes-Benz car took Li Dawei to Tsim Sha Tsui. Li Dawei bought a villa in Tsim Sha Tsui last year and is now a great talent who has changed his life from gun to gun.
