Chapter 1721

“。。。 I like a Chinese saying, which means "no matter who you meet, she is the one who should appear in your life. It's no accident. She will teach you something.".

So I also believe that no matter where I go, it is the place I should go, experience some experience, meet the person I should meet, and have the person I should have! "

At first, I felt that Andy's words were full of philosophy, but the later I listened, the more speechless. This is to use fatalism to find a theoretical basis for his own abuse of Qi. The degree of shamelessness is amazing.

"Well, I have nothing to say. Just be happy!" Carl sighed with constipation on his face.

"What's the matter? Let's talk about it. If you don't talk about it on the phone, you have to ask me to come here." Andy picks his eyebrows with his mouth raised. To be honest, for him, in his few pursuits, the goddesses give him the same pleasure and sense of achievement as mountaineers on Mount Everest.

Hearing Andy's inquiry, Carl stands up, goes around his desk, takes out a file bag from the drawer, opens it, takes out several documents from it, and hands them to Andy to explain: "this is the information of Cirque du Soleil. Someone wants to ask me if you want to invest in Cirque du Soleil."

Andy heard Carl's introduction, did not look at the information in his hand, but raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "the famous Cirque du Soleil, want me to invest? Ha ha, investment is OK. If Lalibert wants to, I can buy them as a whole. If it's just a bit of shares, I'm not interested. "

Said, Andy very casually put the hands of a few pieces of information into the desk, no interest in looking through.

"OK, I will retell your words to them. However, it may be difficult to acquire all the shares, but absolute holding may not be impossible." Carl sat down and nodded and smiled.

"Oh? Is Cirque du Soleil in such a predicament? Will gaillalibert give up? " Andy was a little surprised to hear Carl's words and was a little bit interested in it in advance.

After all, the Cirque du Soleil, which claims that there are no animals to shock the world, is definitely the most famous and profitable cirque in the world at present. I believe that no one who has been to Las Vegas will not go to see a show of Cirque du Soleil. To be honest, if you watch it for the first time, it will be really shocking!

"Ha ha, how many people have a better life under the economic crisis!" Carl shakes his head and laughs. "As one of the biggest circus in the world, Cirque du Soleil last year experienced the first unprofitable year in its history. Although one of the important reasons is that their profit model is still very single. Depending on tickets, the overall gaming industry is in a downturn, and there is a greater risk of increasing the number of touring performances and the purpose of the play. On the one hand, the cost of touring is high and the profit margin is low. On the other hand, the audience of different cultures may have different acceptance of Cirque du Soleil. If innovation can be realized successfully, there are not too many problems. But the point is that the high cost of innovation has not paid off enough.

As for galalibert, since he bought the partner's shares in 2001 at a mysterious price and controlled 95% of the shares, the profit and loss of Cirque du Soleil has a direct impact on his asset profit and loss. Now in this economic environment, he does not change the single profit model and carries out the process of diversified operation. I'm afraid it will be more and more difficult for him to find a partner. I'm afraid he has to It's a choice. "

Andy nodded, pondered, and said lightly: "OK, let's get in touch first. I want absolute control. I can guarantee the independence of their original team in business operation and avoid external influence to the greatest extent. Remember, it's professional business operation, not the operation right of the whole circus. If you want to become the only kingdom of Li, it's all right. I don't want to miss their tens of millions of profits every year. "

"Good." Carl is not saying anything more. Andy's request is clear.

"Well, I'll go first. If she needs anything, let someone arrange it for her." Andy gets up from the boss's chair, drags the dress of the suit on his lower body, and tells Carl.

"Don't worry, she is surrounded by smart people."

"Well, it's almost time. There's a meeting around the world..." As he said that, Andy walked to the door, Karl quickly stepped forward to open the door, followed Andy behind, and sent Andy out of the company, until the elevator door closed, Karl turned back.

In the conference room of Universal Pictures headquarters, Andy was a little lazy in the boss's chair, put his right arm on the conference table, and rotate a signing pen in his right hand to listen to the reports of Universal Pictures management.

“。。。 According to the information we have received, the number of visitors to Disney's theme parks, including Disneyland and Disney World, has recently declined. In response to the financial crisis sweeping the United States, Disney plans to cut 1200 jobs and open 700 jobs. The layoffs will focus on Disneyland in Orlando, Florida. "

"Da!"

Andy's rotating pen suddenly stops, points on his desk, and makes a crisp sound, "let people stare at their layoff this time, the great layoff of 1900 people. I think there will be some talents in it, especially middle-level managers. Next month, I will go to China, and then I will investigate and implement the plan of building a global theme park in the capital city of China. I think we will Some people are needed.By the way, everyone else, except rob, is flying with me this time. By the way, we have completed the acquisition of the last 9% of shares in Osaka Universal Studios. You can also go and have a look at the business model of Osaka Universal Studios. In some aspects, we need to learn! "

"Boss, if the Universal Studios project in Beijing is established, not only will I have to invest a lot of money, I have some concerns about the investment environment of China, but also the number of tourists in Osaka's Universal Studios in the future will be greatly affected..."

Andy directly waved to interrupt his subordinates' opinions and said lightly: "no, how can Goldman Sachs hand over its 41% shares?"

"Besides, each theme park is different, isn't it? Disney can build one in the foot basin, another in HK of China, and another in Mordor. Why? Just to make money? I don't even understand that. How did you get into this meeting room? "

Andy's cold eyes make the executive who just spoke pale. Andy takes back his eyes and doesn't look at each other again. He moves back down the boss's chair, stands up, looks around for a week, and says lightly: "freman, give him more one month's salary, and let him go. I don't raise waste here!"

"All right, boss." Robert freiman nodded in a serious way, and the executive was already dead faced and buzzing. At the moment, he still didn't understand how he just made a suggestion and was fired.

"Break up!" With that, Andy walked to the door of the conference room, and the other people got up in a hurry to send the big boss away. After Andy left, the other people looked at the executive with sympathetic eyes, shook their heads, and left the conference room one by one.

"These idiots are still looking at the Chinese market with their old eyes. This time, they go to the Chinese market to let the executives who have not been there have a look. Other companies are scrambling to enter the Chinese market and compete for the market. Some people believe that those one-sided reports..." In the office of

, Andy make complaints about Rob Freeman who has just finished the senior management.

"It's really time for them to take a look and refresh their cognition." Rob Freeman, the CEO of Universal Pictures, who just came back from China and presided over the listing of Universal Pictures' TianChao branch in Beijing, agreed with him. For the development of China, rob Freeman was really shocked. Although he was not the first time to go to China, he was five or six years apart. At that time, he still went to China on behalf of paramount to talk about the introduction of films.
