Under the pretext of discussing the overseas distribution rights of "Parasite", he went to visit and learn from the GGC.
Park Hoon-jung was very humble. He had already told everyone before coming here, "We are just here to act like grandsons. As long as we can learn something, anything is fine."
Being a grandson has its advantages. At least no one takes them seriously.
Even if I stay in the studio all day, as long as I don't bring any camera, they can just watch and learn from behind.
This trip was an eye-opener for Park Hun-jeong.
Not only the Hollywood system, but also the perfect mechanical assembly line engineering is amazing.
As a world power, even in South Korea, which has national support, it is not easy to build the same assembly line.
A large number of basic talents, a complete selection and training mechanism, and a unique cultural integration.
There is also a flexible management culture and the financial system built for it, a marketing strategy that is constantly adjusted to keep pace with the times, and English being designated as an international common language are also important factors.
Hollywood produces more than just movies; it is a diversified industry that integrates culture, entertainment, finance, and commerce.
Moreover, every link is done to near perfection.
The team led by Park Hoon-jung absorbs knowledge from everything they see and hear like a sponge.
They come from different departments and are the 'pioneers' of Li Zhenyu's plan.
Bring the Hollywood model back to Zy+ from Hollywood to form its own unique shooting system.
However, the patience of the eight major organizations is running out in the past two days.
They had waited too long and wasted too much time for a film made in South Korea.
Park Hun-jung could only speed up the process while asking 'Baby Face' to do his best to help them buy more time.
Of course, there are benefits.
The contacts with several other companies were essentially intended to put pressure on Columbia to sell the work at a good price.
But if someone is willing to pay a higher price, as the president said, "It's not impossible to find a partner."
Columbia has its advantages, and other companies also have their strengths.
It's just a matter of choice! ...
When I saw Zuckerberg, he was wearing a gray T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers, looking casual and comfortable.
There were five other people present, including Goldman Sachs' Lujong, with whom he had a brief exchange last night, and Daba, who looked at him with murderous eyes.
"I just stole your cabbage, why are you so stingy... I've already played with it, what can you do about it?"
Li Zhenyu sat down opposite the loudspeaker with a playful smile, looking back at him without showing any weakness.
Noticing his attitude, Loudspeaker became even angrier.
Although he was angry, Loudspeaker was indeed not careful with his mouth.
But he still knew the priorities, and most of the time he "let the door go" mainly because no one could do anything to him.
He doesn't care about other people's opinions and has his own circle.
But now it's time to divide the cake, and the loudspeaker will not ruin his good fortune.
Li Zhenyu was a little disappointed that he failed to arouse Da Laba's anger.
As expected, how could a real estate tycoon be a fool? There is no hope of getting him out early.
You can play with the loudspeaker to kill time, which is still okay.
Look, she winked at him and laughed evilly, her mouth was crooked with anger, and her teeth were clenching...
"It looks like all our people are here." After receiving a reminder from his assistant, Zuckerberg stood up and explained the plan.
This round of financing is still aimed at maintaining Facebook's efficient development, attracting more users, optimizing products and services, and conquering more market share.
One step ahead, always ahead. Now there are several or even dozens of new platforms appearing on the market every day, and Facebook wants to maintain its advantage.
Not only should we not stop and become arrogant, but we should also be one step faster than everyone else.
Only in this way can we stay ahead and avoid being overtaken and disqualified.
In order to maintain the leading position, the daily expenses are huge, which is why Zuckerberg will raise funds again.
However, in order to avoid having too many investors in the company, it is necessary to facilitate management and avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
There are only two investment spots available for this round of financing. “Of course, you can cooperate and invest together, or you can bid for the shares.”
Zach looked down at the electronic watch on his wrist and said, "I will give you 15 minutes to discuss this with your advisors or think tanks. We will continue in 15 minutes."
After saying that, Zuckerberg left, leaving the six investment representatives on the scene with their own thoughts.
"Li Zhenyu, are you interested in cooperation?"
Lu Rong appeared beside him and proposed cooperation with great interest.
The funds she could use this time were only 40 million US dollars, and she had planned to get a piece of the pie.
Now, the investment quota has been reduced to 2.
This amount of money is not enough to get one of the places, so I can only consider cooperating with others to participate together.
Li Zhenyu acted very sincerely and told her his plan.
Lu Rong was a little surprised, but this did not change her judgment of Facebook, and even if it did, it would be of no use.
A giant like Goldman Sachs will not change its decision because of someone else's will.
It has long passed the era of building an empire, and missing out on a success will not shake its position.
But a failure would create another crack in the empire's fortress.
Goldman Sachs has already concluded from practice what is more important.
"I wish you fulfill your wish." Lu Rong nodded, stood up, looked around and walked towards the loudspeaker.
But after saying a few words, Lu Rong retreated with a dark face.
The seat she was sitting in was taken by someone else, and the seat next to Li Zhenyu was empty.
"Didn't we reach an agreement?" Li Zhenyu was a little surprised.
Da Laba has many physical industries, but its liquidity is not very optimistic.
Given his cash flow reserves, it would be difficult for him to get a quota! Why would he refuse a partner who came to his doorstep?
I noticed that Lu Rong's face became more and more ugly, his eyes were slightly red, and he was showing some anger and grievance.
Li Zhenyu suddenly realized that it was because the white skin was missing!
It's really hard for Asians to survive in North America if they don't serve the white people...
Lu Rong must have suffered a lot to get to where he is today.
"What nasty words were said."
Lu Rong restrained his emotions, took a few deep breaths and forced a smile, "It's okay, I'm just too sensitive."
The loud speaker didn't say anything, but his attitude made people feel uncomfortable.
Coupled with the implicit suggestion of "I only trust my own people", Lu Rong was indeed hurt.
But since I'm not the person involved, it's really hard to say that it contains "discrimination".
That's why Lu Rong said, "I'm too sensitive," and Gu Zuoyan changed the subject.
"Ms. Lu."
"Um?"
“Have you ever thought about changing your environment and accepting new work challenges?”
Li Zhenyu suddenly wanted to poach someone, as he still lacked a spokesperson in North America. He couldn't just leave all the work to Claire in the future.
No matter what, her main job is a lawyer...
"Are you trying to poach me?" Lu Rong didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
I've never seen him act like this. He poached people in person after only meeting them twice. Probably the only thing we know about him is that he works for Goldman Sachs, his name is LuJong, and he's Asian!
Should we say he is overconfident or arrogant if he dares to poach people based on this alone? "Yes, I need an agent in North America to take charge of all my business. Are you interested?"
Li Zhenyu went straight to the point and extended an olive branch to her.
But there are too many fruits on this olive branch.
From those few words, Lu Rong learned that Facebook was not his only investment in North America.
Next, he will make a number of investments in the fields of technology and the Internet, with a total investment of approximately US$1 billion.
This amount of money is not a small sum even for Goldman Sachs.
More importantly, Li Zhenyu is still so young...
At this age, he can already compete with Goldman Sachs, but when I was his age, I was still worrying about internships.
Sometimes the gap between people is even greater than that between people and animals.
"Can you give me some time to think about it?"
"Of course, no need to rush to answer, give me an answer before next week!"
Li Zhenyu gave her his private number and joked, "As fellow Asians, I hope that one day we will no longer be discriminated against or ignored by others and become the ones who change the world."
Hearing this, Lu Rong's first thought was "What a fantasy."
But at the same time, a warm hope arises in my heart. How great it would be if such a day really came.
"I will." Lu Rong nodded solemnly and agreed, and Zack, who had disappeared, reappeared in the room.
"Everyone, the time is up. Have you considered it?"
…
PS: My typing speed is getting slower and slower. My brain and hands are not enough. Do you have any extra ones to lend me?
