- Dr. Wang An passed away on March 24 this year. At that time, it aroused widespread social coverage. The focus was whether the Wang An Computer Company founded by Dr. Wang An would decline as a result.
¡°Previously, the joining of Wall Street debt management expert Miller once gave the world hope of the rise of Wang An Computer Company.
However, after the death of Dr. Wang An, and until now, although Miller has helped Wang An Computer Company solve most of its debt problems, he has not performed outstandingly in the company's business strategy, and it should even be said that his performance is mediocre. This exposed the unfamiliarity of Miller, the company's elite expert, to the computer industry, and also exposed the decline of Wang An Computer Company.
Zhou Xingsheng had discussed this issue with his eldest cousin Liu Jiacheng before. At that time, he speculated based on the memory of later generations that Wang An's company would not be able to support it for a few more years.
During this period, as he came into contact with Chambers, he also gained a better understanding of Wang An Computer Company's information. Zhou Xingsheng discovered that Wang An Computer Company may withdraw from the stage of history much earlier than he expected. Just in the past two years, if fundamental changes have not been made.
Zhou Xingsheng didn¡¯t want to explore the reasons for Wang An Computer Company¡¯s decline, but he had to be wary of it.
Wang An Computer Company is a typical family-owned enterprise, and its decline has a huge reference and vigilance for him on how to formally operate Caishen Investment Company in the future.
While Zhou Xingsheng arranged for Chambers to poach Wang An Computer Company and poach those technical talents to Xusheng Technology, he also asked Chambers to write him a report about Wang An Computer Company, telling why it will gradually decline. On this issue, I believe no one has a more direct, concrete and true view than Chambers.
Since this question was not related to the secrets of Wang An Computer Company, Chambers readily agreed and handed over the report on the third day after receiving the task.
In Chambers¡¯s view, the main reason for the decline of Wang An Computer Company is not other aspects, but Dr. Wang An himself.
Dr. Wang An not only lost his vigorous and enterprising spirit, but also became comatose.
Lost the enterprising spirit. In terms of the company's business strategy, it will be complacent and conservative, which will eventually lead to the company being unable to keep up with the ever-changing social development and gradually falling behind. For example, Dr. Wang An once ignored the advice and refused to develop a personal computer. Instead, he insisted on developing a single-function word processor and a large-sized microcomputer. This undoubtedly went against the world's technological trends.
What became so stupid was that Dr. Wang An actually appointed his son Wang Lie as the president of the company, regardless of the opposition of shareholders and subordinates. If Wang Lie was a talented person, the situation would have to be discussed separately. However, Wang Lie's performance was poor and his ability was mediocre when he took charge of the company's research department. By last year, although Dr. Wang An ousted Wang Lie and hired professional manager Miller as the company's president, the losses and serious adverse effects caused by Wang Lie when he took charge of the company cannot be undone no matter what. of.
Chambers¡¯ outspokenness made Zhou Xingsheng sigh.
Of course, Zhou Xingsheng also agreed with the views stated in Chambers¡¯ report and later sent the report back to Hong Kong. Let the heads of various departments take a look at it and then write reports to express their respective views.
This idea came to Zhou Xingsheng out of nowhere, and the more he thought about it, the more wonderful the idea became.
write a report. They expressed their respective opinions, and then he read the report. On the one hand, he kept his head clear and was always vigilant. Understand the way of management from all angles, and on the one hand, observe your subordinates carefully.
The establishment of the American branch of Caishen Investment Company was very low-key and was not promoted with much fanfare.
Caishen Investment goes out of Hong Kong. Entering the Americas, mainly the North American market, the core is the financial industry, including investments in bonds, stocks, and futures, as well as the development of the North American market for the company's new products, the financing and listing of various subsidiaries, and the management of DreamWorks Film Company, etc. Wait for a series of management. The nature of the branch's work makes it suitable for hiding behind the scenes or being semi-invisible.
Zhou Xingsheng did not set up a company registered in the United States to serve as a branch, but directly put the brand of Caishen Investment.
After completing the preparations for the branch, the main task is to manage the investment issues of Caishen Investment in Apple, Microsoft and other American companies and the vertical management of DreamWorks.
Before contacting Microsoft, Zhou Xingsheng arranged for Mark to build a branch, and he stayed at DreamWorks to take charge.
"This is the script of the company's main film in the future. Take a look at it first and ask any questions." Zhou Xingsheng said, taking out four scripts and throwing them on the conference table.
Sitting in front of himFour people were recruited, one is Xu Xiaoming, who is temporarily serving as the deputy general manager of DreamWorks; one is the financial manager of DreamWorks, a 35-year-old white woman Scarlett, a Jewish American; the other is the management manager Brown, a forty-year-old white man, is a German-American; one is a production manager, Johnson, a thirty-eight-year-old white man, a pure American.
Hearing this, the four people picked up a script one by one and started reading it. After reading it, they exchanged notes with each other.
"Transformers"
"The Matrix"
"incident of 911"
"Kung Fu"
The four people quickly read through the four scripts and knew what kind of scripts Zhou Xingsheng gave them.
Of course, it was also because Zhou Xingsheng became lazy. Among the four scripts, Zhou Xingsheng did not write as detailed as when he first joined the entertainment industry. He only wrote the main outline of the story and did not mention a word about the others. Except for the script of "Kung Fu", Zhou Xingsheng specified that Zhou Xingchi should be the leading actor and all the actors would be Chinese.
Speaking of which, Zhou Xingchi's development in this life is much smoother than in the previous life, because he has received strong support from Zhou Xingsheng. Of course, this is the view of outsiders and Zhou Xingchi himself. Zhou Xingsheng himself felt "awesome" anyway.
It is precisely because of this that when Zhou Xingsheng ended his crazy plagiarism of later films, he made a guarantee to Zhou Xingchi and pushed him to enter Hollywood. Now that I have this opportunity, it is easy to think of it. There are many things about Zhou Xingsheng that are not easy to forget, even after several years.
Of course, the relative success of "Kung Fu" in the US market is also one of the reasons why Zhou Xingsheng can easily recall it.
Historically, the box office performance of "Kung Fu" after its release in the United States was not ideal. Even Lao Mouzi's "Hero" could not match it, but the results were still acceptable and it still had a place on the rankings. There are many reasons, including distribution, fame, publicity and other factors, as well as the taste of American audiences, but the acceptable box office results are enough to show that this film is relatively successful in the American market.
More importantly, "Kung Fu" failed in the US market, but it set numerous box office records in the global market!
Zhou Xingsheng also thought that if "Kung Fu" was released at this time, would it be even less in line with the tastes of American audiences?
But, he has to try, right?
In addition, there is no doubt that Zhou Xingsheng plans to co-produce the three scripts "Transformers", "The Matrix" and "9/11" with China and the United States, both in terms of funding and actors, but focusing more on the American aspect. "Kung Fu" is entirely Chinese in terms of funding and actors, so he can regard it as a sincere work to give back to Hong Kong and even China after entering Hollywood, and to avoid being scolded for forgetting his ancestors when he went to the United States.
"Transformers" is a movie that is nothing to mention. It is such a thunderous success that it is one of the best Hollywood blockbusters in terms of box office and influence. Historically, the comedy film "The Greatest Man" shot by Stephen Chow was actually the Hong Kong version of "Transformers".
"The Matrix" is not to be mentioned. Almost everyone who watches movies knows that it occupies an extremely important historical position in the history of film. Of course, Zhou Xingsheng attaches more importance to its box office performance and its ability to continue sequels.
The script "911 Incident" was created by Zhou Xingsheng himself. It was based on the "911 Incident" and then added Hollywood-style "love", "hot action" and other popular film elements. The story is actually very simple, but the selling point of "terrorists hijacked a plane and crashed into the World Trade Center" is very attractive, and I believe it will suit American tastes.
Zhou Xingsheng was also suddenly inspired after seeing the World Trade Center. He thought it would be exciting to make this into a Hollywood blockbuster, and then use computers to simulate the real "plane crashing into the building" and "building collapse" situations. Perhaps, when 3D movies become popular in the future, they can be remade into a 3D version, and then they can make a lot of money.
Zhou Xingsheng waited for them to finish reading the script. The first person he asked was Johnson, the manager of the production department. He smiled and asked: "Johnson, tell me first, do you have any opinions?"
¡°The four people are all senior executives and actual managers of DreamWorks Movies, but in terms of selecting and deciding to shoot movies, Johnson¡¯s words currently have the most weight because he is the production manager.
The management department is the execution department. It decides on the film to be shot, and the management department just executes it.
The Finance Department is a department that specializes in finance. It is independently managed by the big boss Zhou Xingsheng and does not interfere in the specific affairs of the film company.
Xu Xiaoming is the deputy general manager, but he has just taken over the film company and does not know much about the American market.
The production department is different. This is a department specifically responsible for film shooting. It must have a keen sense of the film market.You must also have a good understanding of movie scripts. Otherwise, if you shoot some bad movies and blockbusters that do not meet the audience's taste, you will either be scolded by the audience or the company will be in trouble.
Although the original film company did not produce well-known blockbusters during Johnson's tenure as production manager, and instead went from bad to worse, this does not mean that Johnson's abilities are insufficient. It can only be said to be average and relatively mediocre.
Zhou Xingsheng doesn¡¯t like it very much, but what he wants at this time is stability, and he also needs someone to cooperate with his shooting plan. It¡¯s better to let Johnson, who has mediocre abilities, continue to be his production manager.
People with outstanding abilities are often unruly and need a lot of effort to tame them. Zhou Xingsheng does not have that spare time.
It is better to have a mediocre Johnson, who doesn¡¯t talk nonsense and only executes his tasks conscientiously, and people with mediocre abilities generally do a good job in executing superior tasks.
