Huayu’s ex-husband

Chapter 153 152. Establishment of Weiguo Group Co., Ltd.

"Dong dong dong~"

There was a sudden knock on the door. Liu Tianxian quickly stood up from Wei Wu's arms, then checked his clothes left and right to make sure there was nothing wrong.

Then he smoothed out some small wrinkles on his shirt, then walked over and opened the door. Seeing the person coming, Liu Tianxian was slightly stunned.

She originally thought it was an actor looking for Wei Wu, but it turned out that it was not the case.

She had never seen this person before, and his temperament and appearance did not look like an actor, but more like a business executive.

This is a woman in her 30s. She is not stunning, but she has good facial features and a good temperament. She overall gives people a gentle and intellectual feeling.

However, Liu Tianxian didn't know the other party, so the other party must have known her. He only saw the other party showing a kind smile, and then took the initiative to extend his hand to say hello to her:

"Hello, Miss Liu, I'm Zhong Lifang, nice to meet you."

"Hello." Although Liu Tianxian didn't know who she was, he still shook her hand politely.

At this time, Wei Wu walked up behind Liu Tianxian and interrupted: "By the way, maybe Yifei doesn't know Sister Zhong yet, right?

"Let me introduce to you, Sister Zhong is a senior executive I just recruited from another company. From now on, she will officially take over my position as the general manager and CEO of Weiguo Pictures.

"From now on, I will officially withdraw from the day-to-day management of the company and leave all this matter to Sister Zhong."

Of course, Wei Wu's words were just nice words, just to show his trust and support for his subordinates.

Even if he withdraws from management and does not hold a position, he is still the company's chairman and the major shareholder holding more than 95% of the shares, and he still cannot change the company's status quo.

As a major shareholder with a shareholding ratio of far more than 2/3, he can appoint and remove the general manager and CEO with just a notice without having to hold a board meeting.

The reason why Wei Wu wanted to introduce professional managers was because the company was growing in size. If he doesn't find someone to take care of it for him, he may not have time to continue filming!

Only then did Liu Tianxian realize that this person turned out to be the new CEO of Wei Guo Pictures.

Liu Tianxian also knew that Wei Wu was currently preparing to form Wei Guo Group Co., Ltd. with Wei Guo Pictures as the main body, combined with Shu Culture, Bad Monkey Pictures, and Wei Guo Publishing House to prepare for a future listing to increase the market value. .

In addition, Weiguo Group is already making preliminary preparations for listing, and hopes to officially land on the A-share market in two to three years.

The introduction of Zhong Lifang at this time is most likely to allow her to take the lead in completing these two major events and naturally serve as the president of Weiguo Group in the future.

Then this is the real power figure of the future company, and she must not be neglected, so Liu Tianxian greeted her again:

"Hello, Sister Zhong, I am ignorant, don't mind."

"No, no, don't say that! I really don't know many people, it's normal."

Naturally, Zhong Lifang didn't dare to drag her down. After all, she was the boss's wife, how could she be compared with ordinary artists.

What's more, even if she is not the boss's wife, she is still the company's number one sister, a hot and popular top figure. Even if she is a company executive, she cannot be offended easily.

Seeing that Liu Tianxian was quite polite to others, Wei Wu felt relieved. However, in order to prevent Liu Tianxian from looking down on her because she was young, Wei Wu briefly introduced Zhong Lifeng's resume:

"Actually, Sister Zhong is a returnee with a master's degree. After receiving a double degree in international marketing and risk management from Lancaster University in the UK, she originally wanted to work in an investment bank after returning to China in 2003, but she was cut off by Mr. Li, who is running like a horse.

“In just three years, Sister Zhong has risen from the position of operations director and deputy general manager to the position of general manager, and has become Galloping Horse’s second-in-command.

“As far as I know, when Sister Zhong first joined Galloping Pony three years ago, their company only had a few employees, and their main business was documentaries, or doing outsourcing programs for TV stations.

“But in just a few years after she joined, the company’s actual business has touched every aspect of the film and television industry: film and television production, acting agency, advertising agency, magazine operation, etc.

“The rapid growth of advertising and TV drama businesses has also transformed Pony Galloping from a little-known small studio in the film and television industry to a rising star that is being pursued by various capitals.

"I also spent a lot of effort here and sent people to lobby many times before finally poaching her."

Liu Tianxian couldn't help but exclaimed in awe: "Wow, Sister Zhong, you are so awesome!"

Zhong Lifang quickly waved her hands and said modestly: "No, no, how can I be as powerful as Mr. Wei said? This is him praising me and putting gold on my face!"

In fact, Wei Wu's words must be exaggerated to a certain extent. He only said it deliberately to raise her worth and prevent Liu Tianxian from looking down on her.

But overall there is no problem. Maybe Galloping Pony is not that awesome now.

However, the building was not built in a day. At this time, at least compared to its peers, Galloping Pony has developed quite well!

The main contributor to the development and expansion of Galloping Horse is of course the founder, Li Ming. This man was born in the army and was a sweet-tempered person, known as the "Big Dog". He was loyal and affectionate, generous and generous.

Relying on his reputation in the circle, he has won over a number of gold screenwriters: Liu Heng (Chairman of the Yanjing Writers Association), Lu Wei, Ning Caishen, Lan Xiaolong, Kong Ergou, etc., as well as first-class directors such as Wu Yusen, Ning Hao, Wang Xiaoshuai , Zhang Yibai, etc.

It's definitely good to be friends with such people, but being a company boss is definitely a double-edged sword. Maybe the benefits outweigh the disadvantages in the early and middle stages, but the disadvantages will definitely outweigh the benefits in the later stages.

After all, in the world of capital, loyalty is never what matters.

If you are too loyal and give unconditional support to your friends when they make movies, and if you don't cast a script as long as you think it's good, then the company won't be able to work for long and you'll have to pay for it!

Therefore, Zhong Lifang is particularly important to him. She has only insisted on one thing in the company for 10 years:

Look at movies from a financial perspective and control the most irregular movie risks.

Therefore, she is known as "the filmmaker who knows the most about finance." One of the most illustrative achievements is that after fourteen years in the industry, the movies she invested in have basically never lost money.

The two of them are a perfect match and complement each other well. Therefore, since Zhong Lifang joined in 2003, Pony Galloping has entered the fast lane and has been growing step by step every year.

Then you may ask, since Zhong Lifang and Li Ming work closely together and lead the company to prosperous development, why was Wei Wu poached?

In fact, the reason is very simple, because she is not that happy at Galloping Pony.

It's not because Li Ming doesn't trust her, but because although Li Ming is good in all aspects, he is somewhat nepotistic, making Galloping Horse a bit like a family business now.

The founders of this company are Li Ming and his wife Jin Yan. In addition, Li Ming's sister Li Ping and his sister Li Li all hold shares in the company and hold senior executives and important positions.

This also paved the way for the future "sister-in-law dispute" that led to the complete decline of Galloping Horse.

In other words, in Galloping Horse, four members of Li Ming's family are senior executives in the company.

Among the company's core decision-makers, Zhong Lifang is the only outsider, and she is also the second-in-command, so she is naturally hostile and excluded by the other three women.

If Li Ming hadn't always trusted her, Zhong Lifang would have been unable to do it!

However, they are not close to each other. Li Ming does trust and support her now, but who can guarantee that it will remain like this for the rest of his life?

At this time, Wei Wu sent someone to the door, moved her emotionally and rationally, and not only promised her the position of president of the group in the future, but also promised to give her certain option rewards.

Of course, the premise is that you have to work for a certain number of years or the company is successfully listed before you can get the option rewards at the corresponding stage.

Moreover, Wei Guo Film's current development prospects are indeed very broad, especially the company's last film "Those Years", which had a box office of over 100 million and became a sensation, so she accepted Wei Wu's invitation to change jobs.

Although Li Ming was reluctant to let her go, he also knew that she was not very happy now, let alone walking to higher places!

Li Ming was originally a righteous person. Since everyone had decided to leave, he did not embarrass her and directly approved her resignation report.

Moreover, she didn't sign any competition agreement when she joined the company, so after the handover was completed, she came to Wei Wu and took up the post.

In today's launch conference, Zhong Lifang will also appear on stage as a guest later. Wei Wu took advantage of this occasion to make an official announcement!
