American Fortune Life

“ I really like the saying of heaven, which probably means‘ Whoever you meet, she is the one whose life is supposed to appear, not by chance, she will teach you something '.

So I also believe that wherever I go, that's where I'm supposed to go, go through some of the things I've been through, meet the people I'm supposed to meet, have the people I'm supposed to have! ”

At first, I felt Andy's words were full of philosophy, but the more he listened to them, the more silent they were, the more he was using fatalism to find a theoretical basis for his own indiscriminate QING. The shamelessness was impressive.

“Well, I have nothing to say, just be happy!” Karl sighed with a constipated expression.

“What is it, say it, don't say it on the phone, or ask me to come over.” Andy raised the corner of his mouth and picked the eyebrows, to be honest, for him today, in his few pursuits, the goddesses brought him pleasure and accomplishment, just as mountaineers climbed Mount Everest to look down on the mountains.

When Andy asked, Carl stood up, went around to the desk, took a file bag out of the drawer, opened it, took a few files out of it, and handed it to Andy to explain: "This is Cirque du Soleil, and someone wanted to go through me and ask if you had any intention of investing in Cirque du Soleil. ”

Andy heard Carl's introduction, didn't look at the information in his hand, but smiled slightly: "The famous Cirque du Soleil, you want me to invest? Oh, invest whatever, if Larry Bert wants, I can buy them as a whole, just a little bit of a share, I'm not interested. ”

Andy was very casual in throwing those materials on his desk and had no interest in going over them.

“Okay, I'll repeat what you said to them, but I'm afraid it's hard to buy all the shares, but absolute control isn't necessarily possible.” Carl sat down and nodded.

“Oh? Is the Cirque du Soleil in such a predicament? Will Gallaribert let go?” It was a little unexpected to hear from Carl, and he got a little ahead of himself.

After all, the Cirque du Soleil, which claims that no animal can shock the world, is definitely the most famous and most profitable circus in the world at present, and I believe that no one who has ever been to Las Vegas will not go to a show of the Cirque du Soleil. Seriously, the first time you watch it, it will be very shocking indeed!

“Oh, how many lives are better in an economic crisis!” Carl shook his head and smiled, "as one of the largest circuses in the world, last year the Cirque du Soleil was the first unprofitable year in history. Although one of the important reasons for this is that their profitability model is still very uniform. Relying on tickets, the gaming industry is generally sluggish and the risk of increasing the number of tours and shows is high, partly because of the high cost and low profit margin of tours, and partly because audiences from different cultures may have different levels of acceptance of solar circus. If innovation is successful, there are not many problems. But the key is that high innovation costs are not paying off enough.

As for Gallaribert, since he mysteriously acquired his partner's shares at a price of 95 per cent in 2001, Cirque du Soleil's profit and loss directly affected his asset gains and losses. In this economic environment, he has not changed his single profit model and diversified his business process. I'm afraid it will be harder and harder to find a partner, and I'm afraid he will have to make the choice. ”

Andy nodded, shrugged, and said softly: "Okay, you touch it first, I want absolute control, I can guarantee their original team's uniqueness in business operations and avoid outside influences to the maximum. Remember, it's a professional business operation, not the whole circus, and if you want to be a lone kingdom, you don't have to talk about it, and I don't want to lose their tens of millions of dollars a year. ”

“Okay.” Carl didn't say much, Andy's request was clear.

“Okay, I'll go first. If she needs anything, let someone arrange it for her.” Andy stood up from the boss's chair, dragged the suit pendant on his lower body, and told Carl.

“Rest assured, there are all the smart people around her. ”

“Well, time's almost up, and there's a meeting around the globe...” Andy walked to the door, and Carl quickly walked up and pulled the door open, followed Andy behind him, and sent Andy out of the office until the elevator door closed and Carl turned back.

In the conference room at Universal Studios Headquarters, Andy was somewhat lazy in the boss's chair, with his right arm on the conference table and a pen spinning in his right hand, listening easily to Universal Studios management.

“ According to information we have, the number of visitors to Disney's theme parks, including Disneyland and Disney World, has recently declined. In response to the financial crisis sweeping across the United States, Disney plans to lay off 1,200 people and vacate 700 jobs. Redundancy will be targeted primarily at Disneyland, Orlando, Florida. ”

“Dah!”

Andy's spinning pen suddenly stopped, pointing on his desk, making a crisp noise, “Keep an eye on them this time, 1,900 layoffs, I think there will be some talent in there, especially middle management, next month, I will go to Heaven Dynasty, and then I will look into the implementation of the plan to build a global theme park in Heaven Dynasty's capital city, and I think we will need some people.

By the way, this time, everyone but Rob and I are flying to Heaven Dynasty, while completing the acquisition of the last nine percent shares of Osaka Universal Studios, you should also check out the business model of Osaka Universal Studios, there are some aspects that need to be studied! ”

“Boss, if the Universal Studios project in Beijing is established, not only do I have to invest a lot of money, I have some concerns about the investment environment in Tianjing Dynasty, but the number of future visitors to Universal Studios in Osaka will certainly be greatly affected. ”

Andy waved directly to interrupt his subordinates' opinions and said softly: "How could Goldman Sachs hand over that 41% stake in his hand? ”

“Besides, every theme park is different, isn't it? Disney can build one in the foot basin, one in the Heavenly Dynasty HK, and one in the Devil. Why? Just to make money? I don't even understand that. How did you get into this room? ”

Andy's cold eyes made the executive who had just spoken pale, Andy retracted his gaze, didn't look at each other again, moved back down the boss chair, stood up, looked around a week later and said faintly: "Freman, give him an extra month's salary, let him go, I don't have shit here! ”

“Okay, boss.” Robert Fredman nodded seriously and hurriedly, and the executive was already dead gray and his brain was buzzing. At this moment, he still didn't realize why he was fired after just making a suggestion.

“Close the meeting!” After that, Andy stepped to the conference room door, and everyone else stood up in a hurry to congratulate the big boss on leaving. After Andy left, everyone else looked at the executive with a sympathetic look, shook their heads, and left the conference room.

“These idiots are still looking at the Tian Dynasty market with their old eyes. This time, they go to Tian Dynasty and let all the executives who haven't been there see it. Other companies are fighting to get into Tian Dynasty and compete for the market, and some believe in the one-sided stories... ”

In the office, Andy spat at Robert Fredman, who had just finished processing the executive to report to the boss.

“It's really time for them to take a look and refresh their perceptions.” Robert Freman, CEO of Universal Film, who had just returned from the Heavenly Dynasty and hosted the Universal Film Industry Tianqing Branch listing in Beijing City, was profoundly in agreement. Robert Freman was truly struck by the development of the Heavenly Dynasty this time. Although he was not going to the Heavenly Dynasty for the first time, he was five or six years apart. At that time, he represented Paramount in the introduction of the Heavenly Dynasty Talk film.
