"The new year is coming. Everyone might be worried that the company spending so much money will affect the red packets at the end of the year. I can't answer this question, so I can only see how the leaders will arrange it."
Director Wang usually didn't talk much, but when it came to the meeting, he would speak eloquently. His words were extremely influential, and he directly talked about the problem that everyone was most concerned about.
However, everyone knew his personality and was already used to it. Not only did this old fellow have sharp eyes, he also dared to say anything and would often seek benefits for the employees. This was also the reason why he had such a high prestige in the company even though he was clearly an unpopular fellow.
Seeing that Ouyang Yuntian and the two Vice Presidents were not acting strangely, Director Wang changed the topic, "However, everyone must know that we are an entertainment management company. Where is the biggest profit point of an entertainment management company? It can be said that whether it's the creative planning department, the human resources department, the customer service and public relations department, the artist management department, the performance department, the design department, or the engineering department, all the departments in the company actually revolve around serving the artists. It can be said that the artists are our company's cash cow … "
As Director Wang talked about the importance of artists, the mood of the attendees was stirred up. They knew that this year's year-end red packet might be lower than in previous years. Although it was inevitable that they would be a little depressed, it was still acceptable.
After all, everyone could understand that most of the company's profits were spent on the newly signed artists. These artists were not unknown newcomers who needed several years to cultivate, but artists who already had a lot of fame in the circle.
This kind of artist only needed a little publicity to work for the company, and next year, he would bring a generous return to the company. This was a real money tree, and no one would be stupid enough to care about whether the red packet at the end of the year was thick or thin at this time.
"Alright, I'm done reporting."
Director Wang bowed slightly and sat back down, welcoming the thunderous applause of the attendees. After all, such a high-ranking person who dared to fight for the welfare of the employees at the company meeting was still very popular.
"Are you all done reporting?"
As the host of the meeting, Vice President Chen naturally took over the topic after Director Wang finished reporting and asked with a serious expression.
"En!"
All the department heads nodded and didn't say anything else.
It was already the end of the year. In fact, what needed to be summarized had already been summarized, and what needed to be reported had already been reported. Today's meeting of the department heads was a bit inexplicable. It was more than an hour earlier than usual. Everyone thought that the company was going to discuss the annual meeting, so they were all in high spirits. But at this moment, from Vice President Chen's serious expression, they seemed to smell something unusual.
"Since I'm done reporting, I'll say a few words. Early this morning, CEO Tian called me and CEO Liu to his office. The three of us had a meeting to discuss the company's next development direction."
Vice President Chen's face was calm and composed. No one could see any extra emotions from his expression. It was just like any other meeting. There seemed to be nothing unusual.
However, when his words fell into everyone's ears, they all looked at each other in dismay. Their expressions were filled with astonishment and confusion. They did not know what he meant.
Agency companies relied on artists to earn money. The theme was clear, and the direction was clear. What other development direction was there to discuss?
"After the three of us met, we have reached a preliminary agreement. Next, we plan to establish a production company and distribution company while running the agency. After the meeting, we will hold a temporary board meeting to formally discuss this topic. After the board of directors approves it, we will immediately start preparing. Today's meeting of the department in charge is to inform everyone in advance so that everyone can be mentally prepared."
Vice President Chen briefly explained the purpose of today's meeting, then looked at Ouyang Yuntian: "CEO Tian, you say a few words."
Director Wang's face was aghast. He looked at Vice President Chen in disbelief. His mouth moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, after thinking about it again and again, he closed his mouth. He was a straightforward person, but he was not stupid. The three bosses had reached a consensus, which meant that this was a foregone conclusion. The so-called board meeting was just a formality.
Xu Wenle's eyes flickered and he frowned tightly. As a young man, he was ambitious and naturally hoped that the company could become bigger and stronger. However, he was the financial director and knew the company's financial situation the best. Although the company had a slight surplus, during this period of time, a lot of packaging and publicity expenses had been spent, and he had not seen any money back. How could the company have extra funds to set up a production company and distribution company?
The production company included the production company and the investment company. Now, the domestic film market was extremely weak due to the impact of imported blockbusters. The box office could not be guaranteed at all. No matter how much money there was, it was not enough to invest in it.
There was no need to talk about the distribution company, the water inside could be said to be unfathomable. Not to mention that the approval was very strict, even if it could be passed, if one did not have a strong network and relationship with the cinema company, one would not be able to play. Not to mention that this market had long been divided up by the few giants in the industry.
"Cough cough!"
Ouyang Yuntian looked at everyone's dumbfounded expressions. He was secretly amused in his heart. How is it? Are you scared? When I heard the news yesterday, I was even more shocked than you guys.
Clearing his throat, without waiting for everyone to start discussing, he said with a serious expression, "Everyone, we have made this decision after careful consideration. Everyone here is an old man in the entertainment circle, so we naturally know what kind of company is the most profitable in this circle. To put it bluntly, if we were to divide the money-making companies in the circle into three, six, and nine grades, then the management company can only be ranked at the bottom …"
With the development of the film industry, if the company wants to become bigger and stronger, we can't just stay in the same place and just focus on the management company. Therefore, we have learned from our mistakes and decided to step into the field of film production and distribution, forming a stable industrial chain. Let's not talk about anything else, when we produce films, we naturally have to give priority to our own artists. This is of great significance to the strategic development of the company … "
Ouyang Yuntian's impassioned speech caused everyone's blood to boil.
When one's own company made a movie or TV series, they would definitely give priority to their own artists. With the platform of film and TV production, it would definitely be convenient for the artists to increase their value. It sounded pretty good.
However, none of the people present were rookies in the workplace. If they wanted to do all of this, the first thing they had to do was to have money, a good script, a good director, a good actor, a good publicity method, and a good distribution channel.
Without these, no matter how extravagant Ouyang Yuntian's words were, it would only be a pie in the sky. There was no possibility of it being realized.
"Alright, time is tight. There will be a board meeting soon. Let's stop here and end the meeting."
Ouyang Yuntian's mouth was dry. He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat before waving his hand and announcing the end of the meeting.
"Director Tian!"
Director Wang shouted, as if he had something to say.
"Let's talk about it after the board meeting."
Ouyang Yuntian knew what he wanted to say, but he didn't have the time to talk to him. He waved his hand in an unquestionable manner.
Director Wang's face turned slightly red as he said anxiously, "Director Tian, isn't this nonsense? I know the company wants to become bigger and stronger, but if you blindly invest like this, be careful not to lose everything. "
Ouyang Yuntian kept a straight face and didn't say a word as he stared at Director Wang. Director Wang also stared at him without the slightest bit of fear. They were like two red-eyed bulls, neither of them willing to back down.
The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became very tense. The heads of the various departments who were discussing in low voices were all silent out of fear, afraid that they would get into trouble. They lowered their heads and quickly walked out.
Xu Wenle bit his lips, his face revealing a conflicted expression. After a moment, he mustered up his courage and took a step forward, saying firmly, "Director Tian, Director Wang and I have the same thoughts. I hope the company can think twice before acting."
Ouyang Yuntian did not say anything, he only glanced at Xu Wenle, causing his entire body to tremble. He lowered his head in reverence, but quickly raised his head again, his eyes filled with sincerity and determination: "Director Tian, I hope the company can carefully consider our suggestion."
"Hehe, that's right. I'm very pleased that the company has a director like you who dares to speak your mind without fear of power."
Ouyang Yuntian suddenly laughed, his face revealing a gratified expression, the atmosphere in the meeting room immediately relaxed.
The door to the meeting room was closed, bringing with it a gentle breeze. Xu Wenle felt a chill on his back, and only then did he realize that his back was already drenched in sweat. He couldn't help but be overwhelmed with shock, he didn't expect the aura of Director Tian to be so strong.
Director Wang lowered his eyes, quietly waiting for Ouyang Yuntian's explanation. He was an old employee who had joined the company when it was established, and he had deep feelings for the Heavenly Palace. Even if he was pushed to the end this time, he would never sit idly by and watch the company's upper echelons mess around and destroy the Heavenly Palace.
"You two stay behind to attend the board meeting."
Ouyang Yuntian did not immediately explain. Instead, he waved his hand and made a decision.
"We're attending the board meeting?"
Xu Wenle and Director Wang suddenly raised their heads, their eyes flashing with astonishment.
"That's right, participate in the board meeting."
Ouyang Yuntian smiled meaningfully, "From today onwards, the company will have a huge adjustment, whether it's personnel or business direction, or even the members of the board of directors."
Director Wang and Xu Wenle's breathing suddenly quickened as they looked at Ouyang Yuntian with fiery eyes, as if they wanted to get an accurate answer from his mouth.
Unfortunately, Ouyang Yuntian sat calmly on his chair without saying a word. He didn't have the slightest intention of explaining, causing their hearts to be in turmoil. They couldn't figure out what he meant.
The attentive Xu Wenle keenly noticed that Ouyang Yuntian wasn't sitting at the head of the table like before. Instead, he was sitting on the left side of the table.
This caused his heart to tremble, and an unbelievable thought suddenly arose in his heart. Could it be that the mysterious major shareholder would personally attend this time? The more he thought about it, the more likely it was. This caused his breathing to become heavier and heavier.
"They're all here."
When he saw Supervisor Old Zhou and Old Zhao smiling as they pushed open the door to greet Ouyang Yuntian and the others, Xu Wenle became more and more certain of his guess. This made him both excited and somewhat expectant.
Thinking back to Ouyang Yuntian's seemingly unreliable new direction of development, he realized that the company was probably going to make a big move this time, and the mysterious major shareholder who was rumored to have a heavenly background would also reveal his true appearance in front of him. To him, this was simply a kind of supreme glory.
Tiangong Entertainment was a very unique company. The chairman was only nominal, and even the vice chairman had no power. All the directors were appointed by Ouyang Yuntian.
It could be said that all the power in the company was monopolized by Ouyang Yuntian, the CEO. This was simply an inconceivable thing for an ordinary company.
