Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Chapter 208 Shirley Lansing joins

The day after meeting Shirley Lansing, Lin Baicheng met Michael Eisner through a headhunting company.

This time, Lin Baicheng also took Isabella there.

Lin Baicheng told Michael Eisner about the film company's future prospects, the company's initial investment of US$50 million, and the management's 10% option award.

In terms of remuneration, Michael Eisner didn't say anything, but in terms of the company's management rights, he asked for more. For example, in terms of personnel appointment and dismissal, the department head below has the right to decide whether to stay or leave at his own discretion, which means that he can tell someone to leave without having to say hello to Lin Baicheng in advance; in terms of finance, the use of funds below 5 million US dollars can be decided by himself, as long as it does not harm the company. to the company's interests.

There are more than these two similar requests. In summary, they are nothing more than giving him greater management rights. Of course, if you ask for a high price, you can naturally repay the money on the ground. These can definitely be negotiated, and management rights can be subject to certain restrictions.

Although Michael Eisner expressed that he was willing to join Lin Baicheng's film company as long as he was willing to have greater management rights, Lin Baicheng did not give him an immediate reply, but said that he would think about it again.

When Michael Eisner left first, Lin Baicheng and Isabella did not leave immediately.

Lin Baicheng asked Isabella: "Bella, what do you think of Michael Eisner?"

Isabella analyzed: "This person has a strong desire to control power. Although you have a lot of business, BOSS, the film company may not often ask about it, and the relevant rights will be lowered. But precisely because of this, it is not appropriate to appoint this person." The president of a film company. He has a strong desire for control. No matter how little management you have, no one can guarantee that he will not secretly violate the rules and do something that harms the interests of the company and you. "

"It seems we have thought of getting together."

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but nodded. When there were other options, these shortcomings of Michael Eisner were magnified in his eyes, so Michael Eisner was eliminated.

"Bella, keep in touch with Shirley Lansing. If she hasn't made a decision within three days, tell me and I'll find another candidate."

"Yes, BOSS!"

Isabella responded.

Although Lin Baicheng likes Shirley Lansing very much, this does not mean that he has to wait for Shirley Lansing to make a decision. He will interview other candidates selected by the headhunting company to see if there is anyone else who matches his requirements. Require.

After leaving the contact with Shirley Lansing to Isabella, Lin Baicheng returned to his normal work.

Isabella was very concerned about this matter. She hoped that Shirley Lansing could join and become the president of the film company. There are very few women holding high positions in the workplace, and the boss's career is likely to become bigger and bigger in the future. Therefore, the more women holding high positions, the more potential allies she will have.

Isabella kept in touch with Shirley Lansing and gave Lin Baicheng the good news within two days. Shirley Lansing decided to leave the original company and join Lin Baicheng's film company as president.

On the night when Shirley Lansing made her decision, Lin Baicheng met her again, and Isabella also followed this time.

"Ms. Lansing, you are welcome to join us!"

After meeting, Lin Baicheng happily shook hands with Shirley Lansing.

"BOSS, you can just call me Lansing. It's an honor for me to join the company."

Although the contract has not been officially signed, Shirley Lansing changed her name to Lin Baicheng and entered the state.

Although some words had been said in advance through Isabella, Shirley Lansing still said: "BOSS, regarding my contract, you need to pay liquidated damages, and I can't just leave just because I want to. Some work matters still need to be handed over."

"Don't worry about the liquidated damages, I will definitely pay them."

Lin Baicheng nodded and said: "After Lansing completes the handover of work, I will ask Bella to sign an employment contract with you, and the treatment will be as we agreed. Furthermore, after the employment contract is signed, After that, the first thing you have to do is to find a full-scale film company, complete the acquisition with Bella, and build the company."

Shirley Lansing asked: "BOSS, is there any limit on the market value of the film company you acquired?"

"The capital I invested is 50 million US dollars. It depends on you how much money is appropriate to spend on acquisitions. If you think you can develop the company by using all the funds for acquisitions, then there is no problem with using all the funds for acquisitions. .”

Lin Baicheng didn't make any demands in this regard. Anyway, Isabella was keeping an eye on him and it was enough that his interests were not harmed in terms of valuation.

"Thank you BOSS for your trust. I will select the most suitable target company."

Shirley Lansing immediately said that it would be a good thing for her to have a wider range of choices.

Lin Baicheng said: "In terms of company management and finance, I will definitely send additional personnel to serve. I will give you a certain degree of autonomy in personnel appointments. You don't have to worry about being restricted in management. But again, how much will I give you? Once the company fails to perform well, the responsibility will naturally fall on you."

Shirley Lansing nodded to show that she understood that great rights reflect great responsibilities, and the two are equal.

"For the company, I'm most involved in the production aspect. Even if it's a small-budget film, I'll be involved in some films with a larger investment, and you have to report to me. Also, sometimes I want to shoot When you make a certain film, you will need support from the company, so you have to be mentally prepared for this."

Some things are better said in advance. Lin Baicheng is not prepared to hide them.

Shirley Lansing listened and said: "BOSS, if your repeated interference in film production has brought serious losses to the company, I hope you can give me a guarantee, that is, you will interfere as little as possible in film production in the future, or even not interfere in films at all. production.”

Even though she might offend her boss by saying this, Shirley Lansing still said it to prevent her boss from ruining the company. It would be better for her not to join the company than for this to happen.

"Don't worry, I started the company to make money. If the company's interests are harmed due to my intervention, I will definitely be self-aware."

Lin Baicheng nodded in agreement. Although he did not feel that his intervention would cause significant losses to the company, saying so would appease Shirley Lansing, so it was necessary to say so.

Hearing Lin Baicheng say this, Shirley Lansing felt relieved.
