Two days later, Xiao Yunhai met Raúl and the three candidates at Dream Special Effects Company. They were 36-year-old French Stuart Townsend, 38-year-old Italian Robert Dornheim, and 42-year-old German Kenneth Braner.
After the interview, Xiao Yunhai found that Townsend was smart, capable, and flexible. He could give a lot of ways to deal with the questions raised.
Braner was serious and dull. He spoke and did things by the book. He considered the problems very comprehensively.
The last candidate, Dornheim, was full of aggression. When he spoke, his eyes were bright. He did not like to be led by the nose by Xiao Yunhai. Every time he answered a question, he would think for a while and give the best answer in his heart. He was very decisive.
After Xiao Yunhai saw the personalities and styles of the three people, he resolutely chose Dornheim, who was the most pioneering.
Because his TV station had just started broadcasting, everything had to start from scratch. He needed a brave and resolute TV station chief.
Townsend was indeed very smart. He had many ways, but he was not good at making decisions.
Braner was too conservative. He was good at defending his achievements, but he was not aggressive enough.
Only Dornheim was completely in line with Xiao Yunhai's idea of a TV station chief.
It would be perfect if Townsend could be the deputy TV station chief of Marvel TV station. Unfortunately, he obviously did not like to be the underling of others.
At noon that day, Xiao Yunhai invited the three to a five-star hotel and announced his decision in the afternoon.
After Dornheim learned that he had become the TV station chief, he was very calm and did not show any joy. It was as if everything was under his control. The calmness he showed made Xiao Yunhai think highly of him.
Raúl and Dornheim talked for an entire afternoon in Xiao Yunhai's office about how to do the work of the TV station well.
Xiao Yunhai asked, "Raúl, have you started filming the superhero television series that I asked you to find a scriptwriter team to adapt?"
Raúl nodded and said, "The scripts were all completed a month ago. There are a total of six movies, including The Flash, Green Arrow, Superman, and so on. The directors and actors have already been found. Two movies have already been shooting for half a month, and the others will start shooting within a week. Other than that, the three animations that had been collected from the internet had all been completed. The quality of the animations was quite good and could be broadcast on the television station. Also, we've received a lot of scripts recently. We've picked out six of the best ones and are looking for a director. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Then hurry up. As long as it's suitable, there's no need to ask for my opinion. We are very rich now, so we don't have to worry too much about the cost of filming. I only have one thing to say. You must ensure the quality of the TV series. We at Marvel either don't do it or do it to the best of our ability. After the shoot, I'll check it. If it's not up to standard, I'll just throw it in the trash. I don't want to embarrass Marvel. "
Raúl said, "I understand. You're the guarantee that Marvel will become a premium TV series. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Yes, we want to establish a brand. That is, Marvel's products must be premium. Dornheim, the same goes for the television station. We don't want those crudely produced programs. We only broadcast premium TV series. "
Dornheim nodded, a look of approval flashing in his eyes. He said, "Boss, I finally know why you can film so many good movies and TV series. Don't worry, I'll definitely take care of the television station. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Very good. Station Head Dornheim, the work of the television station is very complicated. I'll give you absolute authority. You have to use the fastest speed to get it on the right track. Money is not a problem. If you don't have it, you can ask Raúl for it. Raúl, as long as it doesn't exceed 500 million USD, you can make the decision. "
Raúl said, "I understand, Boss."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Okay, I won't keep you. I've already asked my private jet to wait for you at Yanjing International Airport. Go back to work as soon as possible. "
"Thank you, Boss."
On the way to the airport, Dornheim said gratefully, "Raúl, thank you for giving me the opportunity to see the boss."
Raúl shook his head and said, "I'm not being biased. I just think that you really have the ability to do the work of the television station well. Robert, your talent and ability are top-notch. It's just that your character is a little unruly and aggressive. This makes it difficult for you. "
"Just take the conversation between Mr. Xiao and you. I bet that you must have had an argument with him and even snatched the right to speak with him, right?"
Dornheim pursed his lips, nodded, and said, "Yes, I admit it. I'm afraid I can't change this character in my life. "
Raúl laughed and said, "In the whole of Hollywood, Mr. Xiao is the only one who can tolerate your character. He's a broad-minded and generous person. I think it's your aggressiveness and initiative that caught his eye. Marvel TV Station is a start-up, so it needs a pioneering director. You fit the bill perfectly. Old man, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. "
Dornheim asked, "Raúl, is the boss really like the rumors in Hollywood that he can give us the greatest freedom? Do I need to report everything to him? Or what kind of things do I need to report to him? “
Raúl said, "Didn't you hear me? You don't need to ask about anything under 500 million USD. Just come to me directly. If it's more than 500 million, then you have to report to him. Let me tell you, the boss gives us a lot of power. Since he became the CEO of Marvel, he was only there in the early stages. After the company got on track, he handed it over to me. I only need to report Marvel's achievements and problems to him once a month. The boss doesn't care about the process, only the results. As long as you can do a good job and build the TV station up, you don't need to think about salary. I've never been paid a monthly salary. "
Dornheim said, "If you don't get a monthly salary, then what do you get? Don't tell me it's shares? "
Raúl nodded and said, "That's right. At the end of the year, I'll get 0.5% of Marvel's total annual profit. "
Dornheim said, "How much is that?"
Raúl said, "It should be 100 million USD. The heads of the other departments will get 0.1%, at least 20 million USD. Even the ordinary employees will get a bonus of 200,000 USD. "
When Dornheim heard this, he was stunned and said, "Mr. Xiao is too generous. In other companies in Hollywood, people like you will get a few million USD. “
Raúl said, "That's why the boss is the most generous boss in the world. All the companies under him are very competitive. Even if they have to work overtime, none of the employees will complain. Because everyone knows that as long as they achieve results, the boss will definitely reward them handsomely. So, Robert, do your best. As long as you build the TV station well, I can tell you clearly that you will be a billionaire in less than two years. "
Dornheim nodded solemnly.
After settling the Marvel TV station, Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing attended the world premiere of "Harry Potter" held by MGM Grand in Beijing.
