Three million U.S. dollars is not a particularly large number for such a company, but in addition to these three million dollars, Brooke Film Production Company has to bear nearly three million in the financial company's finances, and Brooke Film Company The current property is also mortgaged to the bank. If you want to redeem it, you will need at least one million US dollars. In other words, if you get Brooke Film Production Company, Yan Xu will have to pay a total of seven million, four Millions of debts are the reason why Brooke Film Production Company cannot survive. Not to mention that there is no money to continue making movies and employees' salaries cannot be paid. Just the interest on this money is a very heavy burden.
Seeing Brooke solemnly signing his name on the two documents, a faint smile appeared on Yan Xu's face. Although Brooke's face was full of reluctance, there was also a feeling of relief. , although this company is his new blood, the debts of the past two years have made him a little breathless. Now that he has received three million, he can also pay off some family debts and relax for a while.
[Here is a check for three million, and it is yours now. ] Yan Xu put his hand into the pocket of his suit, took out a long wallet, and took out a check that he had prepared long ago. This was the first payment he made, and the rest was financial Companies and banks.
[Here are some documents, and then I will introduce you to the company¡¯s staff. ] After accepting the check for three million, Brooke opened the safe in the room and gave some documents inside to Yan Xu. The document with the real estate bank mortgage was given to Yan Xu. And of course a series of keys.
[Don¡¯t worry about this yet. Actually I have one more thing. ] Yan Xu did not take the document on the table. Instead, he looked at Brooke and said.
[whats the matter? ] I have let go of a big worry. Although I am full of reluctance, I can hear some relaxation from the tone of my voice. There are often hesitations about some things, but when I really decide, I feel completely relaxed.
[I hope you can continue to stay here. ] Yan Xu put forward his request.
[ah? ] Brooke seemed particularly surprised by Yan Xu's request, as if he had heard a fantasy.
[I hope you can continue to serve as the manager of the company. As for the salary, there is no problem. ] Yan Xu continued. Although he now has experience in managing a film company, in the United States, it is as if he is completely blind. Not only does he have no top connections and connections, he does not even understand the laws and rules in the industry. In this game, the rules are the most important.
Although Brooke¡¯s current company in front of him is heavily in debt, it was also due to the failure of several movies to sell well. Yan Xu carefully studied Brooke¡¯s background when he bought the company.
Brooke studied filmmaking in college and came to Hollywood after graduation. After working in some small companies for two years, he joined 20th Century. He stayed at Fox for three years and participated in the production of several blockbuster movies. Then he set up his own film company. At the beginning, he made some profits but also lost some money. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, he produced a few fairly good movies, and then he started to grow from a company with only two or three people in front of it. The company has grown to its current size, with fifty or sixty employees in brilliant hands, producing two or three films a year.
In the past few years, he has continuously increased investment and produced three films that are considered large-scale productions for such a company. Of course, the three films are all following the trend. For films of the same type, The investment was somewhat insufficient, and there were no particularly famous actors, so the film folded. This was also due to his lack of grasp of the film and the market. The rapid development of Hollywood prevented his thinking from always focusing on the front end, and this is what Yan Xu said good at.
Therefore, the entire company's liabilities are not due to his management. More than ten years of working and operating in Hollywood have made him familiar with the rules of this industry, and he has a broad network of contacts. At least many companies and theaters are involved. Intercourse, this is what Yan Xu lacks.
If he can stay, with his experience, as well as his familiarity and cooperation with the employees here, Yan Xu will definitely be able to save a lot of trouble and concentrate on the filming of the movie.
[Really asked me to stay. ] Brooke looked at Yan Xu's serious look, with confusion and happiness on his face. Many companies have been taken over by others. In addition to the company's boss leaving, even some senior executives in important positions will be fired and appointed. This is basically what every new boss would do, but now Yan Xu asked him to stay, which absolutely surprised him. He knew very well that Yan Xu also had a huge influence in Hong Kong. The film company can definitely mobilize people from there to come here.??'s.
But he didn't know that the rules in the Hong Kong entertainment circle and the Hollywood entertainment circle were very different. It would take a long time to adapt to the transfer of manpower. Moreover, the Dragon Company in Hong Kong was also developing and growing, and there were not enough manpower. Yes, now Yan Xu is in a hurry to shoot a movie. Once he decides to shoot, waiting one more day will make him feel uncomfortable, not to mention that it will take at least half a year to adjust to recruiting people. Even if he recruits people or hunters locally, Yan Xu will They don't know anything about their abilities, and it will take some time for them to get used to the team below, so they might as well just have Brooke in front of them.
[Of course, the initial annual salary is 200,000 yuan, and there will be bonuses if the movie does well at the box office. ] Yan Xu looked at Brooke and said, this figure is definitely a good salary, definitely reaching the level of the middle class. Even if Brooke continues to run the film company, the annual profits will be slightly better than this figure, and In recent years, he has been unable to make ends meet. Even though he has three million US dollars in his hands, most of it has to be repaid. He has been in Hollywood for more than ten years. Apart from the house at home, he may only have this. More than one million, which is less than 100,000 per year.
[OK! ]Due to cultural differences, Americans are not as pushy as Asians. Brooke thought about it for a while and agreed. The money in his hand is to support a family, his wife and three children. Although The amount is not small, but it cannot last for too long. He cannot sit back and have nothing. Sooner or later he will have to find a new job. Moreover, after so many years, the only industries he can engage in are film-related industries. Now he can stay in In the company he created, there are other companies that would never give him a high salary, so he basically doesn't have to think about it.
[Welcome to join us. ] Yan Xu saw Brooke nodding in agreement, stood up and stretched out his hand.
[thank you boss! ] Brooke quickly got into the role. [Let me take you to meet your employees. ]
Obviously, the employees here have already known about the company's acquisition. They had no intention of working a few days ago. The moment the office door was opened, almost everyone's eyes were fixed on it. Going here will determine whether they will stay or stay in their future jobs. Some of the well-connected people left when the company was not doing well. Some of the rest are old employees in the company since its establishment, and some are There are optimists who hope that the new boss who takes over the company will give them a good arrangement, and there are also people who have no particularly good future and are ready to take a step forward and watch a movie.
[Hello everyone, everyone knows that our company's performance has not been good in the past two years. Thank you very much for sticking with me until now. Now the most difficult thing for the company has passed. I will now introduce to you the new boss of the company, Mr. Yan. Many of us may be familiar with him. The horror films Mansion One and Meal for Beasts, which were both box office hits in the past few years, were all written by him. Now everyone welcomes Mr. Yan with applause to speak to us. ] Brooke applauded first as he spoke.
[Hello, my name is Yan Xu, and I will be the new boss of this company. You are relatively unfamiliar with me, and you don¡¯t know much about my temperament, but if you get along with me for a long time, you will know that I am a very easy-going person. Good talker, I have some news to tell you. First, everyone is concerned about your work. I just want to tell you that your job positions will not be adjusted in a short period of time, and the salary of each of you Starting from this month, the salary will increase by 10%. As for the salary arrears before, everyone can collect it from the property this afternoon. ] Yan Xu first had to tell the issues that the more than 20 employees here were most concerned about. His words almost made the tense expressions of those employees relax. Most of them even had a look on their faces. Joy, although they don't know whether they will adapt to the new boss, but the payment of the arrears of salary and the company's 10% increase will definitely make them excited.
[The second thing is that Mr. Brooke, although he sold the company to me, he will not leave the company. Mr. Brooke has agreed to my employment and will continue to stay in this company, and he will continue He serves as the manager of the company and handles the daily affairs of the company. In other words, you will continue to work under his leadership, so you don¡¯t have to worry about being uncomfortable with your future work. ] Yan Xu continued to say, what will happen to their future work is also their second concern after salary.
[And the third thing is that the company will immediately prepare for a movie and shoot it in the shortest time, so everyone, you will have to work hard soon. ] Yan Xu clapped his hands and said, this is also very important to everyone, that is the future.
