Chapter 590 It’s a meeting, damn it (4K 2-in-1)

Sheeran felt for a moment whether he should rush over and cover Fanning's mouth.

But then she realized a problem.

If this is something that needs to be covered up, then what is the press conference for the "comeback concert" scheduled downstairs later?

It stands to reason that if you can think of this level, some of your worries can be dispelled.

But the current communication method and negotiation content are really a little bit different.

Walter immediately sighed in his heart. Although Mr. Fanning and Mr. Scheler each had their own life experiences and personalities, the "basic logic" of how to treat people and things had something in common: great strength brings natural benefits. confidence.

Sure enough, they are people in the same circle and at the same level.

"As soon as possible, Director Walter of our unit is waiting to be promoted to the Insightful One. I'm sorry, only those who are above the level of 'Forged Lion' can be promoted. I understand the rules. It's strange that you set it yourself. It's strange that Walter didn't give it to you." I mean, is it Miss Sheeran who is not busy? I will ask someone to give you some local specialties from Eagles later."

Fan Ning put down the receiver with a bang and looked down at his pocket watch.

"The break is almost over. Come downstairs and continue listening."

He didn't pay much attention to the stunned two people next to him. He directly picked up his briefcase and stood up and opened the door.

Xilan was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses, and quickly caught up with him going down the stairs to remind him:

"Caron, remember to write a letter to Senior Sister Roy. You must do it before the press conference at the end of the meeting!"

Fan Ning naturally planned to write a letter later, but he was not clear about the details of the latter before and had not thought about it in detail.

Get ahead? It sounds like sound advice.

"No problem." He snapped his fingers.

…

On the other end of the phone, after a moment of excitement that came and went, Anna's entire brain shut down.

Just now, the other party's voice was not disguised in any way, and the caller's address was not disguised in any way.

that's all?

The Special Inspection Office has already set incentives: Those who find clues about Fan Ning's whereabouts will be rewarded heavily.

Is this situation a clue now?

What does it mean to call directly and ask for something for someone else?

If this was two people boxing, Fan Ning's sudden punches definitely stunned her.

"I'll handle it as soon as possible." Anna forced herself to calm down and responded with this last sentence. Then she found that the other party had hung up the phone.

The conversation came suddenly and went away quickly. Next, all the officers on duty in the Special Inspection Office began to look at each other.

Reporting is mandatory.

But what should be written in the proposed opinions?

If it had been the battles in the past few months when the incident happened the year before last, and clues had been discovered, a large number of troops would have been dispatched to directly surround the Turner Art Hall and arrest the people.

The leaders at the time had already made their decision after weighing the pros and cons at the time.

But "then" is "then", and the situation has been changing dynamically. The current mysterious situation is more complex and severe, and disturbing: the disappearing and melting Southland, the increasing spread of abnormal areas, and the approaching "ebb and flow" of the Harvest Art Festival , the inexplicable appearance of the Divine Advent Society, and the turbulent avant-garde artistic trends

After everyone weighed it up, they decided to narrate the conversation as is, waiting for the inspectors to make a decision.

The bosses are in Turner Hall.

They will inquire and verify.

It's strange, I've never seen anyone dare to talk like this when calling, as if someone owed him money. It's probably because one of Director Walter's subordinates has made the wrong move and is "picking quarrels and causing trouble" here.

Anna took out a small container similar to a "weather bottle" and began to write on the outer wall to summon the messenger.

…

Grand Auction Hall No. 1, Area D, 1st Floor, Turner Art Hall.

The intermission of the first quarter work meeting of the theater chain is almost over.

Investors represented by Sheeran and Olga, Director Walter who presided over the overall work, representatives of various official organizations and government dignitaries invited to attend, senior executives of the theater chain and representatives of local responsible persons returned to their seats.

This does not include Fan Ning. After all, the "official announcement" has not been released yet. If it is, we will see you at the "Return Concert"...

In the first half of the meeting, he was here, but in a disguised state similar to the unrecognizable "public face" he used when riding the train, sitting in an inconspicuous corner and listening to the meeting, and now he is back at the scene. The same is true.

The first half is about the speeches and work arrangements of Walter and several senior executives, and the second half is about the exchange of experiences of some outstanding branches. Finally, Sheeran will make a summary, but it is more of a down-to-earth thank you and call to action.

Fan Ning, who had been listening silently, also had a more comprehensive understanding of the situation of the theater chain.

Now the scale of the entire system is different from what it used to be, and the operating conditions are also very different from before.

From a system perspective, the internal departments of the headquarters have expanded from the previous 6 to 13, and a three-level structure of headquarters-counties-districts/small towns has emerged.

The urban area/small town also manages the neighborhoods/towns below, which is actually equivalent to three and a half levels.

Although the coverage of hospital construction in counties outside the Northern Continent is still limited, it is no longer the flat management team of the past. The system is more standardized than before, with standards and procedures in everything, and internal friction is greater - this These are all inevitable situations in management.

From the perspective of the main personnel, Sheeran was in charge of the overall responsibility (and soon returned to Fanning himself), while Walter and Roy had different focuses. One was the director, responsible for the headquarters concert hall and the old symphony orchestra, and the other was the dean, responsible for the management of domestic and overseas cinema chains.

Several core members in the past have become deputy executives. Olga is the deputy director in charge of administration, finance and human resources, Congreve is the deputy director in charge of marketing, investment promotion and operations, Lu is the deputy director in charge of channel network construction, standardization assessment and government relations, painter Claude is the deputy director in charge of art exhibitions, auctions and art center affairs, painter Marais is the deputy director in charge of stage design, sound and lighting technology, and the two guest conductors Virgil and Lausanne assist Walter in managing music affairs and enjoy the treatment of deputy directors...

In addition, Fanning also saw some clues of potential problems from various business reports and data.

For example, the relationship between the two schools within.

Fanning resigned from the Guidance School, while Sheeran was still a member of the school. Therefore, after the assets were donated free of charge, the entire industry was actually governed by the Guidance School to a certain extent. This was actually what Fanning wanted to promote at the time. Another meaning of governance is protection. If it were not for this relationship, he would not have trusted Sheeran to hold his position in the complex situation of the storm, relying solely on Viadrin's care.

Later, when Kaplun died, the art fund was entrusted to Turner Hall by his widow Olga for management, which was also protected by the Guidance School.

Later, once the territory of the chain cinema was opened, the relationship became more complicated. In the art career, people are the most important factor. The Guidance School manages the assets, but most of the backbone artists, performances and teachings all come from the academic school - the Bologna School.

This is actually Fanning's intention. If Roy was the deputy director and the first cello of the old symphony orchestra alone, the relationship between the two sides would not be tied more closely.

Later, Walter of the Holy Sun Church was appointed as the music director, and this consideration was also taken into account.

It was precisely because Fanning had tied up all the forces that could be tied up that Turner Hall of Art was provided with sufficient shelter.

But with more "bosses" behind the scenes, internal friction is inevitable, and everyone has their own demands.

Sheeran has been under a lot of pressure in the past two years, largely because he not only has to lead the operation team well, but also has to coordinate the interests of all parties behind the scenes.

This is one aspect of the problem.

There are also, for example, the problem of changing the profit structure:

In fact, the profit of the music sector is gradually declining!

On the contrary, thanks to Fanning's previous investment vision, the income from exhibitions, art auctions and collection commissions has supported a piece of the world.

The causes of this are very complicated, including the secret manipulation of the record industry by the Special Patrol Office, various restrictions on performance review, the impact of avant-garde art concepts in various places, and the uneven quality of channel construction of chain theaters - the latter is often a point that some people in the Guidance School use to criticize the Bologna School.

The decision to speed up the laying process and "trade quality for time" was made by Roy, which caused some controversy within the system, although it was all done in secret.

On the other hand, some people in the Bologna School also had some complaints about the Guidance School.

Artists usually have their own personalities, and behind them stand many traditional nobles of the Imperial Senate. After these academic schools have taken more and more positions in chain theaters, they have begun to seek more power and status in the system.

In a nutshell, the academics advocate "de-administration" and believe that the current management of the Guidance School is "industrial management" and lacks humanistic care and academic spirit.

The second half of the meeting is about to begin, and Fanning repeatedly thinks about these exposed problems.

Contradictions that should be mediated should be mediated, ideas that should be unified should be unified, and chaos that should be rectified should also be rectified.

Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at the position in front of him that belonged to the "executives and VIPs".

Chief Inspector Owen was sitting there, and it was a very core seat.

A middle-aged man in a priest's robe walked up to Owen and said hello:

"Sir Owen, are you done recuperating?"

This man was Bishop John Christopher, who was sent by the church to the North Continent to take charge of Uflansell County. He had previously accompanied Roy to the West Continent to accompany Fanning on a tour.

His greeting may sound friendly, ordinary, and polite to outsiders, but it actually offended the person involved.

Recuperating?

He was beaten by Lavoisier and has only been discharged from the hospital until now!

Is this guy deliberately looking for trouble?

This is an important meeting with many people. Owen's unhappy expression flashed by, and he snorted and said:

"I went back to Tiolian at the end of last year. Sir Christopher just came back, right? By the way, Bishop Lavoisier, Bishop Tukville, and a group of old friends should be back soon, right?"

You are the only one who can bring up these trivial matters, but I can't?

I, the chief inspector, was only discharged from the hospital after a minor injury. I'm afraid that many bishops and priests on your side have already died in that damn place!

Christopher didn't care about the other party's mockery. Bishop Lavoisier taught that finding the "theme of God" is the church's plan for thousands of years. How can it be uneasy if it loses three or five years and a few church members? He smiled lightly and ignored the second half of Owen's sentence:

"Haha, your health is important, your health is important, you are back."

"If you have any unsatisfactory experiences during the past two years of recuperation, you must tell me! I will immediately send a message to Judge Melaldine for improvement."

Originally, we only lived here for a year and a half, but he had to say it was two years.

"Very satisfied, thank you."

Owen has been in a pretty good mood these days and is too lazy to argue too much with this eccentric guy.

Disappointing.

After returning to the Northern Continent, everything went much smoother for Owen, which was completely different from his previous business trip to the Western Continent.

The meeting has now begun.

Just like during the 40 minutes of intermission, everyone lined up to come to his seat to say hello.

Including all the executives of Turner Art Hall, including representatives from official organizations.

Sheeran and Walter seemed to have something urgent to do and needed to leave temporarily, but they also came to him to apologize and explain that they were sorry.

Is the Turner Hall theater chain important? Of course it's important.

They are playing an increasingly important role in curbing the spread of abnormal areas.

One of the management tools that leaders attach great importance to.

Irving is the person directly responsible for this supervision.

There are too many people who want to seek care. Many times, the attitude of the cultural department is determined by his words.

church? school?

Religious and academic artists play an important role in gaining time and space and providing support.

But the mysterious art of leadership.

By the time of the Harvest Art Festival, the leader had successfully solved the source of the trouble, and these people were just people under the rule of order.

As for whether he can beat Lavoisier, it is just a false proposition.

not to mention

If you can't cure Antoine Lavoisier, then you can't cure Carolne Van Nin?

Warm applause broke out.

Owen, with a smile on his face, clapped along with everyone else to show his encouragement to the outstanding local leaders who spoke on the stage to exchange experiences.

The person on the stage had already stepped down, and just as he was taking back the water glass on the table, he was about to slowly unscrew it with his hand——

The ceramic texture of the water glass became transparent, and a cyan substance that danced like a storm appeared inside.

Owen read the words that appeared on the wall of the cup word by word.

His face looked like he had seen a ghost.

"Caroën Van Ning called from the investor office of Turner Art Hall and asked the Special Inspection Office to speed up the process of approving music director Bruno Walter's key application!?"

"You still mean it's polite?"

According to the script, is the next step for the Special Patrol Office to transfer a deposit of earnest money?

Today’s increasingly rampant scam letters don’t even dare to write like this!

It seems that the recent internal control management of Turner Art Hall needs a serious overhaul.

Owen almost laughed in anger.

The investor's office and the director's office are just above him, but now in public, it would be detrimental to his etiquette to directly question Sheeran or Walter next to him.

Owen raised his head, preparing to send two investigators up first to verify what happened just now.

Then, he saw a huge roller shutter poster, which was slowly pulled down by the staff from above the background board of the auction table.

The area is larger and the pull is slower.

Only about a third of the way through did he finally see where the title was.

At this moment, Owen's smile faltered.

"Caroline Van Nin Returns in Concert"

I have been working overtime these days and have published all five chapters that I have written intermittently recently. Happy New Year everyone!
