After the conversation ended, Xiao Weiguo led Zhang Damao to the sixth floor of the Panlong Building.
The entire Panlong Building has twelve floors, covering an area of nearly 1,000 square meters, with a total office area of over 10,000 square meters.
Currently, only Panlong Garment is located in the Panlong Building, and all the office staff together occupy only the bottom five floors.
Apart from the top-floor executive offices, the middle floors (sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth floors) are all currently empty.
However, during the renovation, the entire building was renovated together, and each floor was only slightly modified according to its own needs to be used as an office.
The dozens of offices on the fifth floor were all empty, with a huge hall in the middle, through which you could see the scenery outside through the glass curtain wall.
For that era, this style of decoration was extremely advanced.
Other office buildings used by companies are mostly brick and stone structures with a corridor in the middle and offices on both sides, without public activity areas or lobbies.
"Well, Director Zhang, this is the office area I prepared for Panlong Culture and Entertainment. All the floors above this one are still empty. As long as you can recruit enough people, I can allocate a few more floors as your office area."
Standing in the middle of this spacious, bright, and modern hall, Zhang Damao felt as if he had entered a dream world.
The floor is made of marble, and people standing on it can see their reflections.
Apart from the offices with their doors tightly closed, the lobby, along the glass curtain wall, serves as a rest area for employees.
Blue sofas are placed next to small tables, where employees can eat and enjoy the view outside during breaks.
On the other side is a more luxurious reception area, divided into small private rooms by high-strength glass to ensure privacy when meeting guests.
Next to the long service counter was a tea room. Even the toilet in the corner on the east side was decorated in a style that Zhang Damao had never heard of before.
Before today, Zhang Damao never dreamed that he would be able to work in such an environment.
"Chairman Xiao, do we really want our entertainment company to work here?"
He was still a little incredulous and asked Xiao Weiguo again to confirm.
Xiao Weiguo took out a cigarette and handed it to him. Zhang Damao subconsciously took it but did not light it.
Xiao Weiguo lit his own cigarette and handed him a lighter.
He then remembered that he didn't smoke and quickly waved his hand to refuse Xiao Weiguo's offer.
She continued to look at Xiao Weiguo with eager eyes, waiting for his answer.
Xiao Weiguo smiled at Zhang Damao and took a puff of his cigarette.
"That doesn't mean we'll stay here forever. If our company does well, I'll consider establishing new headquarters in the provincial capital and Beijing. Then, our environment will be much more upscale. It all depends on whether you, Director Zhang, have the ability to take Panlong Culture & Entertainment to a certain level."
Treatment and ability have always been commensurate. As long as Zhang Damao works wholeheartedly for him, Xiao Weiguo believes he can definitely lead the film and television industry to great success.
With his knowledge of songs from his previous life, he could easily pick out a few to a dozen songs and make several singers famous.
Take Zhou Ruolan for example. Xiao Weiguo believes that as long as she debuts, she will be at the pinnacle of the future singing world.
As for the talents in the entertainment industry, why should he worry about them?
Zhang Damao excels at discovering new talent. In his previous life, he single-handedly promoted a large number of world-renowned actors from the same region, a fact that Xiao Weiguo greatly believed in.
Having received Xiao Weiguo's affirmation, Zhang Damao felt relieved.
“Okay, Chairman Xiao, I’ll contact my former classmates, teachers, and some colleagues I know right away to try to build the company’s framework as soon as possible.”
Xiao Weiguo nodded.
"Okay, you can choose an office on this floor first. If you need any office supplies, just ask the logistics department. I'll let them know."
"In addition, our entertainment company not only has film and television divisions, but also music talent. If you have connections, you should also recruit a group of them, with the same treatment."
Since they're all in the entertainment industry, Zhang Damao naturally has his connections. Since Xiao Weiguo has decided to use Zhang Damao, he won't be stingy with the power he's given him.
The greatest ability a manager can have is to know how to delegate power; Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms period is the best example of this.
Although he possessed extraordinary talent, he was not good at delegating power and eventually died of exhaustion at Wuzhangyuan.
His story taught Xiao Weiguo that no matter how capable a person is, it is impossible to be good at everything. Professional tasks should be left to professionals, and those in positions of authority only need to grasp the overall direction.
Otherwise, even if you work yourself to death, you still can't achieve a flawless result.
Therefore, within his current Panlong Group, Panlong Apparel has made Wang Xiuhong a star.
She has now transformed from a manager in a state-owned enterprise into an outstanding modern corporate manager.
Regarding Panlong Apparel, Xiao Weiguo doesn't need to worry much about employee management or product operations.
As long as Xiao Weiguo points her in the right direction, she can quickly implement it.
Panlong Electronic Technology Studio was boldly handed over to Zhang Chenliang.
With this world-class electronics expert around, Xiao Weiguo didn't even have the heart to interfere.
All he needs to do is provide the funding and wait for the results.
Since the studio was established more than two months ago, good news has come from the other side: the conversion of digital information into Chinese character information has been basically completed, and the final test will be completed soon.
Once Bai Ziyu's electronics factory is completed, it can immediately begin production and seize the domestic market for Chinese character display pagers.
As for Bai Ziyu, he is still too young and lacks experience. He still needs to hone his skills in his work. Fortunately, he has two invaluable talents under his command.
Zhang Wei is responsible for the company's management and market development, while Wang Qinglin is responsible for the control of professional technology.
Xiao Weiguo was very confident about the situation there.
Xiao Weiguo treated Zhang Damao the same way. He wouldn't interfere too much in the development of Panlong Culture and Entertainment Company; he only needed to provide sufficient funding and a favorable environment.
However, although Zhang Damao was a genius in the directing industry, he was not good at management and lacked the ability to manage the overall situation.
Xiao Weiguo had already considered this matter. He had Liu Ye resign from her job at the school specifically for the cultural and entertainment company.
In the future, Liu Ye will become the general manager of the entire entertainment company. With Xiao Weiguo constantly giving her advice and guidance, Liu Ye will definitely grow up quickly.
After arranging Zhang Damao's work, Xiao Weiguo turned around and went back to his office.
Now that Zhang Damao has started his work, he also needs to get started on many things such as registering a company and raising funds.
He summoned his secretary and asked her to immediately find a way to notify Zhou Ruolan to come to the company to see him first thing tomorrow morning.
