Chapter 214： Donna Lande

"Good afternoon, Donna, can I call you that?" In a cafe near Universal Studios, Yang Cheng and the current President of Universal Pictures Donna Lande hugged each other.

"Good afternoon, jason, of course. In fact, my friends call me that." Donna Lande is less powerful than the last time I met, and has a touch of feminine tenderness. Of course, this is outside after all. Meeting at the company would be a different story.

The two sat on a small round table, each ordered a cup of coffee. There were a few plates of refreshments on the table, but no one cared, the scene fell into embarrassment for a while, mainly because Yang Cheng spoke in his heart and did not know how to speak. Not abrupt and sincere.

"Jason, your expression is very tangled, just tell me what's the matter." Donna took a sip of coffee elegantly and spoke first to set the stage for Yang Cheng.

When Yang Cheng saw this, she stopped being hypocritical and cleared her throat and asked, "Donna, we had a great chat in your office last time. You also proposed to change your working environment. I don’t know if you still have any intentions. What do you think of New Era Media?"

Donna Lande had such an expression, "If I promised, what position would you offer me?"

Yang Cheng’s eyes lit up. This is a show. He was prepared for this answer and replied without hesitation, "The vice president of New Era Media also serves as New Era Pictures and is responsible for the full power of Lionsgate and Focus Pictures. If you can join the company as soon as possible, you will be responsible for leading the acquisition of DreamWorks. If the acquisition is successful, your work pressure will rise sharply."

Donna was not scared by Yang Cheng's words, but rather said with interest, "I heard that DreamWorks Animation has stirred up the **** storm in Hollywood recently. Several giants are fighting to break their heads, and New Times Media 27 The price per share in US dollars has shocked many people, including me, Jason, I have to admit that you are a young and energetic entrepreneur."

"Thanks to Donna, entrepreneurs can't talk about it. You know that this price is far from the end, and Jeffery's appetite is not so easy to fill." Yang Cheng waved his hand and dismissed Donna's praise lightly. Sugar-coated shells can't be casual. Swallow into the stomach.

"Of course, you and I all know the true value of DreamWorks Animation, so your strategy is correct. Use a seemingly high price to knock out small players, so you can concentrate on dealing with giants such as Comcast."

Donna’s thinking coincided with Yang Cheng, which gave Yang Cheng a sense of similarity to what a hero saw, and nodded, “Yes, don’t forget that there is Disney.”

Donna sipped her coffee and shook her head slightly, "I think Disney is purely bluffing. Robert Iger just wants to make the water muddy, and it may not be expensive to compete with Comcast and New Age Media, DreamWorks Animation to Disney is nothing short of tasteless, it's a pity to eat it tastelessly! After all, they have Pixar."

After a pause, he finally emphasized, "So, I think the only opponent of New Era Media is Comcast."

Yang Cheng patted his forehead, and suddenly said, "Look at me, I almost forgot that Comcast is Universal's parent company."

The conversation changed, "However, since Donna, since you are willing to speak from the standpoint of the new era media, does that mean you agree to join our big family?"

Donna Lande didn't answer directly, drew her hands in circles on the wall of the coffee cup, lost in thought.

Yang Cheng didn’t urge, quietly sipping Blue Mountain coffee, frowning unconsciously. The coffee beans in this shop have been stored for a long time. Although they have no stale taste, they have lost the mellow aroma of Blue Mountain. It is a pity for people who grew up drinking high-quality coffee. I want to come because few people order this expensive coffee.

"Jason, I'm telling you the truth. I have already investigated before I came to you to ask me. Regarding the reasons why I want to leave the world, I want to make sure, are you willing to take on the hostile relationship that may form with the world after digging me?" For a long time, Donna Lande spoke solemnly.

Yang Cheng knows the answer to this question, which will directly affect whether Donna can agree to accept his invitation to join New Times Media.

Organize the words in your mind and say sternly, "Donna, you don't need to worry about this. Talented people are born to have the right to be pursued. If you come here, you are valued for the benefits you can bring to me and the huge benefits that you may generate. In contrast, it is worthwhile to bear the grievances between you and your old club.

Moreover, from a practical point of view, New Era Pictures is not afraid of Universal. I believe that it is only a matter of time before you can lead New Era Pictures to surpass Universal. I want to lead a brand-new company to counterattack Hollywood’s Big Six before retiring. , Is a very tempting and challenging thing, you should not refuse! "

Yang Cheng's answer is very real. It is straightforward to point out that you are valued for your earning ability. This is a slightly cold answer, but it is very comfortable in the ears of the strong woman Donna Lande. She is really the white lady who has turned into an adult for a thousand years. Is it a human? In the same way, everyone is a business elite, and do not talk about interests and relationships with businessmen? That's why narcissus does not bloom and pretend to be garlic!

"In that case, I will ask Jason to take care of you for the last part of my career." At this moment, Donna Lande stopped hesitating, and used the usual euphemisms of the Chinese to tell Yang Cheng her decision.

"Haha, Donna, I believe you will not regret this decision after you retire." Yang Cheng stretched out his hand and shook Donna heavily.

"Then I will go back to the company first, and give me one month to go through the handover procedures, and then I will go to New York to report to you." Donna Lande got up and determined her entry time.

Yang Cheng also stood up and just shook her head and said, "Donna, I know you have adapted to life in Los Angeles. The first thing you will do after you join the company is to move the headquarters of New Age Pictures to Los Angeles. , And embarking on the work of merging Lionsgate and Focus, this little thing can't trouble you."

"Of course, this is my job, but you, the boss, need to make up your mind about the specific office location." Donna regained her qualities as a strong woman, and her words became crisp and clear.

"Well, let's discuss it together at that time. It's not in a hurry. Regarding your salary, we will wait until you formally join the job before discussing it. I promise that it will never be lower than your current salary."

"Jason, I believe you won't let me lose my food in my later years, and there is no need to worry about the treatment."

"Okay, then, if you have anything to call me, including the difficulties in your life, New Era Media will solve them."

"Thank you, Jason, then I will leave. Besides, the coffee in this restaurant is really bad."

"Haha, I feel the same way!"
