Chapter 347: Structure Adjustment of Matrix

"Dong dong!"

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

"Boss, it's time!"

"Is everyone here?"

Rebecca nodded.

"I'll go right now!"

After simply packing up the items on the table, he took out a black notebook from the drawer, and took a pen from the table. Guo Shouyun strode out of the study.

In the temporarily converted conference room, along with the integrated and interlaced wires, a dozen monitors are listed in a fan shape, and each monitor has a figure inside.

Guo Shouyun sat in the middle seat, his eyes quickly swept over each monitor, feeling a little melancholy in his heart.

Although video conferencing is mature now, it is limited to the current need for professional hardware support to open a smooth video conference. Moreover, the picture quality is also very bad for Guo Shouyun, who is used to enjoying the high-definition and ultra-clear of later generations. But these are all external, and it will pass after a sigh of relief. What really matters is the next meeting.

"Everyone, from today onwards, everyone will fight for our ideals in the collective ** of the Matrix Group. As the boss, I would like to promise you that as long as you do well, I will not be stingy with options or dividends. !"

"thank you boss!"

"Thank you boss!"

After a simple communication, Guo Shouyun continued: "After the acquisition of Vivendi and Warner, there are already more than a dozen subsidiaries under the Matrix. In order to facilitate management, I will make an adjustment to the administrative structure of the entire group. "

As soon as he finished speaking, he found that everyone's expressions, including Buddy Morris, changed slightly. But it's understandable, who doesn't have ambitions yet?

"In the future, Matrix Group will have nine subsidiaries in addition to the Ministry of Finance, Editorial Department, Production Department, Logistics Department, Marketing Department and other headquarters departments. They are: Matrix Films, Matrix Cinemas, Matrix Games, and Matrix Media. , Marvel Comics, Universal Studios, Universal Studios, Warner Records and Pixar Animation.”

"In the future, Matrix Films will focus on the production and distribution of small and medium-cost films. The company's president, Kai Yang."

Kai Yang is a veteran of Matrix. He has led the marketing department all the way and achieved outstanding results over the years. Guo Shouyun decided to give him a chance.

"The Matrix Cinemas still focuses on giant luxury cinemas, and the annual goal is still 510 cinemas. The personnel and personnel remain the same!"

"In terms of Matrix games, in addition to the existing Valve Studio, Legend Studio and Westward Journey Studio, Xue Leshan Studio, Blizzard Studio and Fantasy Studio have been added. Mike Moraimy is the manager of Xue Leshan Studio, restarting the game. R&D of Ghost series, Home series and Demon Hunter series. In addition to being the manager of Blizzard Studio, Frank Pierce is also the Vice President of Matrix Games. Blizzard Studio still focuses on the research and development of the three series of StarCraft, Diablo and Warcraft . Fantasy Studios, with Alan Adhan as manager, recruited for Pirates of the Caribbean and Harry Potter games."

Because of the obsession with Blizzard in the past life, the personnel of the matrix game Snow Leshan, Blizzard and Fantasy are all dominated by the management of Blizzard.

"The president of Matrix Games was promoted by Gabe Newell, and he also served as the director and senior vice president of the Matrix Group." Guo Shouyun also gave some compensation to the old minister.

"cw public television nt pay television ana pay television and the former Universal Pictures television production and distribution division, the former Matrix Films television, documentary production and distribution division merged into a new company, Matrix Media. Matrix Media produces and distributes news, radio, and television. The main thing is to wait. In addition, I have three plans here, The Voice of America, Lost and Prison Break, one entertainment program, and two TV series. The Voice of America and Lost are handed over to cw TV, and jailbreak is handed over to tnt pay TV ana pay TV! "

The nature of tnt pay TV ana pay TV is the same, but one is in the United States and the other is in Europe, which just constitutes a pay TV that spans North America and Europe. br>

Also, the quality of Jailbreak is more for the paying crowd than The Voice and Lost. The first two, especially The Voice of America, can definitely be big advertisers.

"The president of Matrix Media is concurrently held by Buddy Morris, and the performance of the three TV stations will be selected after one year!"

The three TVs are losing money, so Guo Shouyun is not satisfied with anyone. In addition, I just bought three companies, and I don't know much about the top management, so I couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while. Buddy Morris can only be temporarily responsible for the management of Matrix Media, and a decision will be made after an internal inspection.

"Marvel Comics, personnel unchanged, President Ike Palmut is also a director and senior vice president of the company."

Taking back all the film and television projects originally promised to Marvel Comics will naturally give Ike Palmut some compensation.

"Universal Pictures, focusing on large-scale movies with more than 100 million US dollars, in 2003, you had four missions, Harry Potter 2 The Chamber of Secrets, Spider-Man 2, Hulk, and Furious Sea: Polar Expedition In terms of personnel, the board of directors was revoked, the former chairman of the board of directors Lang Mayer served as the chief operating officer, and the former vice president of Matrix Pictures Kai Feiqi served as the president of Universal Pictures, responsible for the production of the series of films."

Long Mayer is a veteran executive of Universal. He has served as chairman and CEO of Universal Pictures for 12 years. He is experienced and has achieved a lot. Although not as good as Warner and Fox, the Universal he led is not bad among Hollywood giants. Blockbuster series such as Legend of the Gods and Ghosts and Jurassic Park have made a lot of money for Universal.

As for Kefic, the creator of the Marvel Universe, it is naturally not to be missed.

"Universal Studios, there are currently four Universal Studios in the world, namely Hollywood, Orlando, Barcelona and Osaka. Chris, I would like to know the equity distribution of Universal Studios Osaka."

Chris McClain, President of Universal Studios.

In the face of a young but steady and serious new boss, Chris McClain did not dare to neglect.

"At present, in addition to our 15 in Universal Studios Osaka, 39 are in the hands of Goldman Sachs, 18 belong to the Osaka city government, and the remaining 28 are held by institutions and investors!"

"Why does Goldman Sachs hold so much?" Guo Shouyun frowned.

"At the time of Universal Studios Osaka, Goldman Sachs was the financier."

"Can you buy this part of the shares?"

"Yes. But Goldman's asking price probably won't come cheap."

Goldman Sachs' greed and shrewdness are deeply felt by Guo Shouyun, who has dealt with them many times.

"Do you understand the operation of Universal Studios Osaka?"

"learn!"

"Be specific."

"Yes! Universal Studios Osaka has a total investment of 2 billion US dollars, most of which are loans. Currently, it has 7 areas including New York District, Hollywood District, San Francisco District, Universal Wonderland, Qinshan Village, and Jurassic Park. Since 2001 Since the opening of the year, it has received 5.78 million tourists. The total revenue in the third quarter of 2002 was 273 million US dollars! It is still in a state of loss. However, the growth rate of tourists is relatively high, with an average monthly rate of 3.2. Moreover, the surrounding Huaxia economy is growing rapidly, South Korea and Japan are also developed countries with large populations, and the future of Universal Studios Osaka is good.”

Guo Shouyun nodded and continued: "Is there a construction plan for the fifth Universal Studios?"

"Yes. Sydney and Singapore are still under investigation."

"Cancel Sydney, and open three Universal Studios in Singapore, China Magic City and Beijing in the next five years. The project will cover an area of ​​more than 30 hectares. Add Pirates of the Caribbean and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter to the existing Universal Studios. area."

In the future, the larger the theme park, the more items that can be played, the more attractive it will be for tourists. Layout in advance can not only reduce land use costs, but also seize the market. In particular, it is necessary to complete the layout of China before Disney.

Chris McClain, who first experienced Guo Shouyun's boldness in industrial expansion, soon became excited and worried.

"Boss, the investment of such a large project requires 3 billion US dollars, three is 9 billion yuan. Coupled with the construction of new projects, this is another investment."

Although he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning was already clear.

"Where does the money come from?"

"The project is mainly based on joint ventures, with the signboard of Universal Studios. I believe many companies are willing to cooperate with us. Therefore, the 9 billion US dollars can be halved. In addition, the time span of the three projects is five years. In this way, each year only needs to be Investing 1 billion will be able to complete the whole plan. As for how to solve the 1 billion, I will say at the end.”

"In addition, we have too few shares in Universal Studios Osaka~www.wuxiaspot.com~ have no right to speak at all. Except for the newly built Universal Studios. We will increase our shares in Universal Studios Osaka later. If you can’t hold a controlling stake, you have to increase it to more than 40. The same is true for Universal Studios Mediterranean in Spain.”

"Yes!"

Chris McClain nodded quickly.

"Warner Records!" Guo Shouyun deliberately paused and glanced at the middle-aged man with a beard on the right monitor, "Adam Ferguson is the CEO of the company, Paul Dempsey is the production director, and Michael Howard is the copyright director. , remove Paul Bradley as CEO, remove Wilt Prairie as director of production, and remove Morosent from director of economics!"

Guo Shouyun, who was aware of the internal disputes at Warner Records, directly fired all the management that originally belonged to AOL's acquisition of Time Warner.

There is a specialization in the music industry, and AOL may be more professional in the camp, but in the traditional record industry, old people like Adam Ferguson know better how to run a company.

Under the subtle eyes of everyone, Warner Music, which has just been acquired, has become the one with the biggest personnel changes among the many subsidiaries.
