Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

It is not uncommon for North America to poach outstanding talents from other companies, and headhunting companies began to emerge in North America as early as the end of World War II.

Generally speaking, the conditions offered for poaching talents from other companies include not only generous salaries, but also signing bonuses, shares, etc.

But someone like Lin Daoqiu directly gave 10% of the shares of the TV station instead of dry shares as a signing bonus. This is probably a very rare thing in the world, let alone in North America.

You must know that this is not an ordinary company, this is a TV station. If it develops in the future, it will definitely be worth more than 100 million. By then, I don’t know how many hundreds of millions it will be.

Therefore, the olive branch extended by Lin Daoqiu to Longmeyer can be said to be very generous. This is definitely the most exaggerated signing bonus that Longmeyer has ever seen so far.

Langmeyer was already a little confused as to whether Lin Daoqiu gave him a 10% share because he admired his talent, or whether he gave such a price because of the friendship accumulated over the years.

But no matter which point it was, Lin Daoqiu had absolutely nothing to say to him.

Longmeyer didn't want to be subordinate to others at MGM, so Lin Daoqiu got a TV station for him to manage.

Although Longmeyer knew very well that the TV station was a part of the Lin Daoqiu Media Group's strategy and had to be established as early as possible, he was not necessarily the president of the TV station.

After all, in North America, there are countless talented and capable people, but I am not much better than those people.

"I have to say that the price you offered is indeed very attractive, and it really shocked me. But I advise you to think about it again. Is this price too high?"

Instead, Langmeyer began to think about Lin Daoqiu. Logically speaking, if he was interested in taking over the TV station, it would be natural for him to take over the 10% stake.

"Is it high? I think it's okay. After all, I just told you that this is what you deserve..."

"You are the person who has helped me the most in my development in Hollywood over the years. This offer is actually not that outrageous, because if this TV station wants to develop, it must invest a lot of energy, so I

I will give you this price."

Lin Daoqiu's explanation does sound reasonable. Taking over as president means that Longmeyer will be involved from the beginning to the end of the TV station.

Moreover, Lin Daoqiu is probably not satisfied that the influence of this TV station is limited to a few cities in North America. In Longmeyer's opinion, Lin Daoqiu should want this TV station to be at least one of the top three TV stations in the United States, and even to become the most famous TV station in the world.

One of the TV stations.

If you think about it this way, then this 10% share does not seem so exaggerated.

"I need some time to think about it. Although TV and movies both belong to the film and television industry, there are many things in them that are completely different. I don't have enough experience in this area."

Langmeyer did not boast in front of Lin Daoqiu, but directly told him his shortcomings. It must be said that he was still very honest to Lin Daoqiu, at least at this time.

"It doesn't matter. The CEO I'm looking for is not the kind of person who does everything by himself. You just need to find the right people and manage them well and let them open up new territories for you. This is what I want to see."

Lin Daoqiu did not want Longmeyer to work hard for him until death. He hoped that Longmeyer would be a qualified manager, just like Liu Bang, who would find the right people, assign them appropriate instructions, and lead them.

Just get this TV station ready.

"Well, what you said sounds quite pleasant. I have to say that I am indeed very moved by your invitation."

Langmeyer nodded. In fact, when he was invited by Lin Daoqiu today, he had already guessed that Lin Daoqiu might ask him to come over for help.

But what Longmeyer didn't expect was that Lin Daoqiu wanted him to take charge of a television station instead of film work.

Langmeyer was both excited and a little worried about the challenge Lin Daoqiu threw at him. After all, he had no experience in working in a television station before. He was worried that he would fail to do what Lin Daoqiu told him and would fail him.

.

"I hope you can think clearly as soon as possible. You also know that "Reader Times" has found a suitable editor-in-chief, and the Morgan Group has also become our partner..."

"Now that everything is ready, the work of the TV station must be carried out as soon as possible. Otherwise, if it is delayed for too long, I am worried that it will affect the work of the media group."

Langmeyer nodded while listening. He knew that Lin Daoqiu wanted to form a media group as soon as possible. Now that "Readers Times" has been completed, the only thing missing now is the television station.

"Okay, give me a day. I'll go back and discuss it with my family. You know I've been traveling with them all the time. If I have to work, I have to discuss it with them."

Langmeyer attaches great importance to his family. When he was working at Universal Pictures before, he rarely found time to spend with his family.

After resigning from Universal, Longmeyer was able to take time to travel abroad with his family and have a lot of fun.

Now if he wants to accept Lin Daoqiu's invitation and join his TV station, then Longmeyer needs to tell his family. After all, once he accepts Lin Daoqiu's invitation, he may be busy and invisible for a long time.

.

"No problem, but you don't have to worry about not having time to spend with your family. As long as you do your job well and find the right people, you will actually have plenty of time, just like me."

Longmeyer looked at Lin Daoqiu and didn't know what to say for a moment.

From the time he met Lin Daoqiu until now, Longmeyer has never seen anyone as lazy as him. To describe Lin Daoqiu as lazy is not an exaggeration or a derogation at all.

In Longmeyer's view, if Lin Daoqiu had half as much diligence as him, his achievements in film would definitely be much higher than what he is now.

However, despite being so lazy, Lin Daoqiu is still able to stand at the top of the world's movies and look down upon the others. Sometimes he has to lament that there are indeed geniuses in this world.

"You'd better stop instilling your principles into me. I don't have a good life like you to enjoy happiness. After all, we basically don't even have time to rest once we start working."

Longmeyer shook his head. He would not be fooled by Lin Daoqiu. Unless he waited until he retired, he might be able to live the life Lin Daoqiu said.
