The salary offered by Han Chudong was relatively high, and the two parties hit it off immediately. The two independent producers expressed their agreement to cooperate on the spot.

The remaining full-time employee of MGM may feel that he has a better future in his original company, or he has already gotten used to it, so he only said he would consider it. He probably does not want to change jobs and is leaving early.

It doesn't matter. Han Chudong is not so arrogant as to think that everyone should like him. Switching to a startup company that has nothing but funds is a relatively dangerous thing. If you are not careful, you may lose your job. It is safer to stay in an old giant company.

We first reached a verbal agreement, saying that we would contact these two independent producers when we were preparing the script.

On the way home.

Han Chudong looked through Mr. Bancroft's resume and couldn't help laughing. There was nothing wrong with the resume, but he didn't expect the general manager of the headhunting company to be so anxious.

I casually put it in my briefcase, planning to contact the other party when I have time, organize an interview, and see if it meets my needs.

Zhou Nan, who was sitting next to him, asked, "Let's go to Fatty BBQ for a few drinks later? Brother Xiaodong, we have found a producer. Next, do we need to register a company and rent an office space? What about the name of the company? How about calling it White Dragon or Red Eye?"

"...Don't mention these words anymore. Think carefully about the company name. I'm good at this."

Seeing that Han Chudong took the initiative to take over the responsibility of naming, both Zhou Nan and Zhao Dajun were speechless.

After all, among those present, only Han Chudong had come up with company names, such as Mango, Storm, and Rainbow. These names sounded pretty good and were easy to pronounce in English, and they were all successful in the end.

"Got it! Let's call it DreamWorks-Studios. Leave the registration to me. Each of you will pay $1.5 million and I will pay $7 million. For the time being, it will be easier to calculate the shares. You will each have 15% and I will have 70%."

Han Chudong added: "My Mango Toys can help distribute peripheral products, and my connections can also help with filming and distribution. When the time comes, you two will assist me in managing the company, but let me make it clear in advance that you have to listen to me on important matters. I have a better vision, so I will definitely help you make money. If you lose money, it will be my fault."

"Brother Xiaodong, you are so kind! But if we really lose, it will definitely be the three of us who lose together.

Actually, you don't have to take us to play. Even the money you earn from the toy agency can actually be regarded as a gift from you to me and Dajun. If you say go east, we will definitely not go west. "

As soon as Zhou Nan finished speaking, Zhao Dajun added: "What about the advertising fee? How can we ask you for money to advertise your company with the movie? We don't want a single cent."

Han Chudong shook her head: "Don't be polite to me. Some of the shares of Gucci and Hermès belong to me, and there are other shareholders too. I must make money from this. Rainbow Beauty can show some appreciation..."

Call out Kyoko Mochizuki and go to the outskirts of Chinatown to have barbecue together.

Han Chudong did not go home that night. He called home and said that he had something to do in San Francisco. In fact, he went to Kyoko Mochizuki's small apartment.

Unpredictable.

It was past one in the morning. Han Chudong was still awake, lying on the bed watching TV. He asked her, "Do you like this job? Have you taken the opportunity to attend fashion exhibitions in Europe or travel anywhere?"

"It's a great job. I spend most of my time in Los Angeles. I have many opportunities to travel. I can visit places I've never been to before and meet some designers and managers from other companies. Next, I will help select suitable store locations across the United States. We plan to open 20 stores within two years, as well as five in Canada and ten in Japan."

“I’ve seen the plan. We can directly cooperate with several department stores. There’s no need to shop around. We can’t go wrong just by choosing the store with the best location.

Whether it is Gucci, Hermès, or YSL, which I will invest in next, consumers must have a strong desire to buy these stores, thinking that they represent status, wealth, and taste. Take your time. When the reputation accumulates to a new height, sales will naturally increase. Doing luxury goods business is not as simple as beauty products. I suggest you communicate more with experienced peers and learn how to manage. "

Seeing that Kyoko Mochizuki liked her new job, Han Chudong felt relieved.

This part of the business has just started and there are not many professional managers to help. If there is a chance to help her get promoted, Han Chudong would certainly like to let Kyoko Mochizuki help manage it, given the relationship.

She nodded and told me, "Mr. Gucci manages the company very well. I can see that the craftsmen in the factory respect him from the bottom of their hearts. Before visiting the factory, I had no idea that there were so many steps to make a bag or a pair of shoes."

"I feel sad when I talk about this. The wages in Europe are so high, but the workers are unwilling to work overtime, and the efficiency is pitifully low. After I finish my recent work, I will see if there is an opportunity to build a factory in Japan or Southeast Asia. I will keep the previous workers, but I don't plan to continue to recruit more new Italian employees. Maybe if I build the factory in Japan, the product quality will be better and the efficiency will be higher."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Han Chudong and Mochizuki Kiko have obviously different focuses. As businessmen, pursuing profit maximization is basic.

Just look at the current trend of manufacturing outflow in the United States and you will understand that labor-intensive and resource-intensive industries are being moved abroad.

For these businessmen, reducing costs is certainly a good thing, but job opportunities in the country will decrease and the unemployment rate will rise sharply. Ordinary blue-collar workers are the most unlucky, which is also the reason why the gap between the rich and the poor in Europe and the United States is widening.

Mochizuki Kiko also didn't think that Han Chudong had any obligation to provide job opportunities for those Europeans. Her heart and soul were now all on him. Of course, she hoped that Han Chudong could make more money. She smiled and said:

"Whether Italians or French, they really don't work seriously. Some employees even asked for leave to travel because the weather started to get hot. The national welfare is very good, and they don't need to worry about the future. Many people think that as long as they have enough money to spend, they don't want to waste too much time on work."

“Maybe I should set up Gucci America, and let the headquarters in Florence slowly become the European branch.

The time difference, work concepts, and language differences all made me feel uncomfortable. If I moved to the United States, I would have the hope of growing up in five years. In that place, with that kind of employees, it would take at least ten years, and the taxes are also very high..."
