Chapter 612 You Zhihong: Give our employees a surprise
Ten minutes later, Zhou Mingxian left Yipintang Teahouse.
No need to talk any more.
Yu Xiaoshu is not You Zhihong. He does not need to PUA Zhou Ming, and he even less needs to let Zhou Ming sacrifice himself. In Yu Xiaoshu's opinion, the more powerful Zhou Ming is, the better, because he needs Zhou Ming to support the animation department of Baiqian Media.
It is obvious that Baiqian Media will enter the field of Chinese animation next.
What Yu Xiaoshu and Zhou Ming said was also very realistic, that is, our goal is just to make a good work.
Revitalization of Chinese animation, these four words are too big.
Of course Yu Xiaoshu can also shout slogans, but many times shouting such slogans is not very meaningful. Unless it is in the publicity stage, Yu Xiaoshu will generally not be so inflated.
After Zhou Ming left, Yu Xiaoshu said to Guo Han: "Director Guo, I have to thank you this time."
"No, I'm the one thanking you. Don't you know that Lao Zhou is too stubborn? Not only is he stubborn, he's also stupid. If it were someone like You Zhihong, he would have left long ago. At the beginning, October Culture was full of talented people. You also know that cartoonists and screenwriters are sometimes thin-skinned. Some of them are basically embarrassed to negotiate terms. At this time, if you treat them a little better, they will not leave."
Guo Han really didn't have a good word to say about You Zhihong: "In the end, You Zhihong only offered a basic salary of 3,000 yuan to many people. What do you think is enough for them in the capital? And he also exploited these cartoonists and screenwriters. Not only that, Lao Zhou sometimes had no money to eat..."
All right.
It seems that Guo Han hates You Zhihong to the extreme.
He really couldn't stop complaining about You Zhihong.
After Guo Han finished talking for a long time, he suddenly stopped: "Sorry, I really hate this guy, so I can't stop talking. Come on, let's get down to business. Xiaoshu, what aspect of the script are you talking about?"
Today, Yu Xiaoshu and Guo Han met to discuss cooperation.
Guo Han is now at his peak. His movie "One Life" has really won a lot of people's likes and praise. This is both an honor and a pressure for Guo Han.
After all, the pressure on the next movie will be great.
In addition, Guo Han's films are almost always a success and a failure, so he is quite worried about his next film.
He is afraid of failing.
Although Guo Han said in an interview that he doesn't care much about metaphysics, he will still choose a script that he approves of, and does not rule out writing it himself, and then see how it turns out.
It seems that Guo Han is in a good attitude, but the real situation is certainly not like that.
For Guo Han, he was not just afraid.
The next movie must not flop.
No.
Even if we fail, we must make progress.
Guo Han knows his temper and his personality. If a drama is successful, he will easily let himself go, and often the consequence of letting himself go is failure.
This time, Guo Han was ready to control himself.
Never let yourself go.
At the same time, he planned to talk to Yu Xiaoshu.
Come to think of it, Yu Xiaoshu has never written a script for Guo Han.
This is the first time the two have worked together.
Guo Han was of course looking forward to this collaboration. He even wanted to see what kind of script Yu Xiaoshu could write for him.
What type?
Looking at Yu Xiaoshu, Guo Han asked expectantly.
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "It's not about what type of story I can write. In fact, I can write any type of story. It's Director Guo, what type of story do you want to shoot?"
This sentence made Guo Han ponder.
At the same time, Zhou Ming returned to "October Culture".
"Director Zhou, OK."
"Director Zhou, OK."
…
It is obvious that the entire company respects Zhou Ming very much. In fact, many times, some things and management of "October Culture" are all done by Zhou Ming.
Throughout the entire company, people recognize Zhou Ming far more than You Zhihong.
Zhou Ming returned to his office, and before he could even sit down, he saw his assistant Ma Xiu knocking on the door and coming in: "Director Zhou, you're back. Did you see the message I sent you?"
"information??"
Zhou Ming was stunned. He had turned his phone to silent mode because he was going to meet Yu Xiaoshu, so he didn't see it. As he spoke, Zhou Ming took out his phone and took a look.
Okay.
Only then did Zhou Ming realize that his cell phone had exploded.
Not only were there countless messages, but there were also many missed calls.
"What's going on??"
Zhou Ming simply turned his gaze to Ma Xiu.
Ma Xiu said: "It is said that October Culture may be wholly acquired by Dongyi Film and Television, and CEO You just said that a meeting will be held at 11 o'clock on time, and it seems that this matter is about Dongyi Film and Television. This matter was exposed by Dongyi Film and Television, and I asked the people there, and they said that this matter has been discussed..."
"It's settled?"
Zhou Ming frowned slightly. The day before yesterday, Zhou Ming had asked You Zhihong about this. You Zhihong said that no matter what, he would not sell October Culture at a low price. He was even prepared to sell all his houses to hold on.
When saying this, You Zhihong seemed like a person who really didn't care about money for the sake of his ideals and dreams.
kindness.
This is how You Zhihong fooled Zhou Ming before. No, he didn’t just fool Zhou Ming, he fooled everyone in the entire company. Overall, he treated everyone as free labor.
It is obvious that You Zhihong is worthy of being a boss, he is quite strong in this area.
He used to rely on this set of rhetoric, saying things like I don’t care about money, I’m very rich, I make movies to bring everyone together to create this dream, and we are working for the future of Chinese animation.
And so on.
If you use these words to fool people who have elderly parents and young children to take care of, it will definitely not work.
Stop talking nonsense.
dream? ?
Can dreams be eaten?
Can my dream pay for my daughter's tuition?
Can my dream help me buy a house and get married?
cannot.
Since you can't do that, then don't bother learning it.
Therefore, middle-aged people don’t fall for You Zhihong’s PUA at all, because what they need is to earn money to support their families.
But it is different for young people. Young people basically do not have much social pressure. Moreover, if one person is full, the whole family will not be hungry. Under such circumstances, young people are naturally more likely to be PUA, and more likely to be PUA in the name of dreams.
For this purpose, You Zhihong recruited a group of young comics, screenwriters, and other young people. When these young people gradually became middle-aged, they naturally left "October Culture".
We are not stupid.
Your talk about dreams may fool people for a while, but not forever.
But Zhou Ming was different. He had been fooled by You Zhihong for more than ten years, and he was willing to be fooled.
In the beginning, You Zhihong would find some reasons to fool Zhou Ming and exploit Zhou Ming, but later on, it was no longer necessary.
Because Zhou Ming's attitude was completely like, "No matter how you exploit me, I will repay you."
So, if such a fool doesn’t exploit others, then isn’t that stupid???
It is exactly like this. You Zhihong has even developed a habit in recent years, which is to completely ignore Zhou Ming and just tell Zhou Ming to do things.
Of course, face-saving works still need to be done.
For example, from time to time, he would sprinkle some chicken soup on Zhou Ming.
But Zhou Ming is almost 40 years old this year, and it doesn’t make much sense to spread the so-called chicken soup anymore.
Originally, Zhou Ming was planning to have a good talk with You Zhihong. He was even planning to take only a few people with him. He didn't want October Culture to really break up. After all, the biggest valuation of October Culture was IP and talent.
Even though a number of old employees of October Culture have left, the new employees have been basically trained quite well. You Zhihong is PUA, but he is really capable and he has indeed trained some people over the years.
But to be honest, the training of You Zhihong was indirect, while that of Zhou Ming was direct.
That is to say, most of the people in "October Culture" were trained by Zhou Ming.
If Zhou Ming really said it, then at least one third of these people would follow him, if not two-thirds.
This is Zhou Ming’s personal charm.
But if Zhou Ming told them that they were going to Baiqian Media, then I'm afraid at least two-thirds of them would leave.
If Zhou Ming told them that their salary would be doubled and their year-end bonus would be doubled.
Then I'm afraid that many of the remaining one-third will also leave.
After all, the reason why we work is just for three things: money, money, and money.
It’s good to have dreams, but dreams can’t be eaten.
Only if you have money can you have the capital to achieve anything you want.
Zhou Ming actually knew this a long time ago, but he was accused of moral kidnapping or so-called PUA by You Zhihong. In short, before this, Zhou Ming was really prepared to follow You Zhihong well.
This is equivalent to a sunk cost.
Many times, when you withdraw from something later and later, you will be less and less willing to withdraw. The more you think about the previous things, the less you want to withdraw, and eventually you sink together.
When many girls are cheated by scumbags, if they withdraw in time the first time, then it would be fine. But sometimes they are basically fooled by scumbags again and again, and then naturally they can't get out of it, and they always deceive themselves every time.
This kind of thing is very common.
But if they come to their senses, they will be more awake than ever.
Just like Zhou Ming.
How ruthlessly he was fooled by You Zhihong before, so now he can be more decisive.
Especially after listening to Ma Xiu's words, he made up his mind.
"Director Zhou, didn't Mr. You tell you?"
Ma Xiu looked at Zhou Ming and asked with a little concern.
"No problem."
Zhou Ming waved his hand slightly, and then he said to Ma Xiu: "I am not going to Dongyi Film and Television. I am going to Baiqian Media next. Will you come with me? You have basically learned enough as my assistant in the past few years. It's time for you to be able to work on your own."
"ah??"
Ma Xiu was a little surprised: "Director Zhou, do you mean you are going to leave Mr. You?"
"Yes, it's almost time to leave."
Zhou Ming nodded gently: "You don't have to reply to me now, just think about it carefully before replying to me..."
"Director Zhou, of course I will follow you."
Ma Xiu interrupted Zhou Ming and said, "You have been teaching me carefully all along. In my heart, you are my teacher. Wherever you go, I will go. I was just surprised that you would really leave Mr. You. After all, we often said in private that you should have left a long time ago. I..."
"Okay, there's no need to say this. Go talk to Xiao Zhao and the others first and see what they think."
Zhou Ming said: "At first I was only planning to take a few of you with me, but now I want to see how many of you are willing to go with me. If you are willing, then let's all go..."
At the end of the conversation, Zhou Ming also lost his temper.
Even clay figures can have temper tantrums.
Listening to Zhou Ming's words, Ma Xiu also hurriedly said: "Okay, Director Zhou, I'll go now."
Originally, Zhou Ming wanted to go back to the company and talk to You Zhihong, and then everyone could part ways amicably. After all, You Zhihong always felt that Zhou Ming would not leave, so Zhou Ming's contract was not harsh, and the penalty for breach of contract was almost negligible.
This can be considered a blessing in disguise.
Zhou Ming thought with a hint of bitterness.
On the other side, You Zhihong was chatting with Pang He, the vice president of Dongyi Film and Television, in his office.
In fact, the acquisition has already been completed.
The contracts have been signed.
For You Zhihong, he will join Dongyi Film and Television with his original team, which is a win-win situation.
The so-called price-cutting and You Zhihong's so-called stubborn negotiation were all just acting.
"We will have a meeting later. Mr. Pang, you can also attend. It will be a good opportunity to announce this news on the spot."
You Zhihong said with a smile: "I believe everyone will be very happy."
Pang He also smiled and said, "But Mr. You, don't we really need to give them some fresh air beforehand?"
"No need. I still have the final say in the entire 'October Culture'. The entire company's people depend on me for survival. If I hadn't sold a few houses to make up for the shortfall, how would they have the money to survive? I would rather starve than let them suffer."
You Zhihong said with a hint of complacency: "So our October Culture is the most united and has the strongest cohesion."
Pang He smiled but said nothing.
Pang He had already investigated the situation of "October Culture" a long time ago. He certainly knew that You Zhihong's words were only three-tenths credible, but to be honest, what You Zhihong said was not wrong.
October Culture is indeed centered around You Zhihong.
And the people of October Culture are indeed the most cohesive.
"Okay, time's up, let's go to the meeting room."
You Zhihong glanced at the time and said, "Let's give our employees a surprise together."
