Going Into the World!

Chapter 64



take over polygrams

“Mr. Bay, I know you’ve had almost 15 years of experience on this floor. You’ve been on this side since high school. ”

“Haha. You must have done some research on me. Yes, that’s correct. ”

“It doesn’t make sense if you come without an investigation when you say you’re buying the company. I’m serious about the polygram acquisition. ”

I wonder if you really heard what I said.

“Hmph. Got it. Do you have any questions for me? ”

Recently, you have done a lot to attract acquisitions and talent, so now you can start naturally. I make eye contact with my heart. Anyway, I project “outsides” into my eyes. Then my eyes and atmosphere change to free materials depending on my purpose.

“We haven’t met for a while, but after talking to her in person, you can see that she’s talented. There’s already a polygram in the future, and I wonder why it’s still there. Are you planning on moving to Universal Studios? ”

“Phew, you ask too many direct questions. ”

“Haha! I’m a little like that. In fact, you can ask the company about something like this, and you don’t have to, and you want to hear the details yourself. ”

Baysy thinks for a moment and speaks out.

“That’s right, some of the Polygram staff, including myself, are scheduled to move to Universal Studios. If you work in a giant studio, it’s an opportunity for you personally.

If you add one more thing, is it a sense of responsibility? I wanted to do everything I could for my colleagues and subordinates over the past decade. ”

When I hear a form or story that speaks, I look sincere and responsible. It is also okay to think about others.

“Maybe if you go to Universal Studios, you won’t be able to maintain your current rank? “

“Khh-hmm. It will be, because it’s not the same size as a polygram. ”

I felt the need to make my conversations more tense and irritating.

“You know that Universal Studios is going to be sold to companies that care about Vivendi or something else, so will the previously promised seats stay the same? ”

I stabbed myself through a nervous psychological break. In other words, “Is there room for you?” ’I mean. Companies that are acquired by any company will be sacrificed in the gaps between the position of the people coming in from the acquisition company and filling the person.

Even if the Bay is capable of something, people are not the only ones living with it. Many reflexes ignore the right to prevail when a new commander enters. Of course, you can go somewhere else, but it’s not as easy as it sounds when you meet conditions. This field is also coming up hard below.

“Hmmm. Not necessarily. You have to prepare yourself. ”

Mr. Bay’s face is frowning, but what I said is upsetting. Haha. That’s what I said to break my heart. Let’s stab him once more. A little excitement?

“Common sense is that when the boss changes, the executives become the bottom quarterback. Even if you look at IBM or Goldman Sachs, which is a big company, you know Eastman Kodak? Recently, as the CEO changed, he organized the above seven chapters to plant his own people, and it appeared in the newspaper.”

I gave a very specific example of what happened to Mr. Bay one more time.

“As long as it’s not Superman, anyone can replace it. And there are a lot of people in the United States who say they’re going to be executives. Harvard and Stanford have business schools pouring out every year, right? And if you treat it this way, there’s a line. ”

I draw strength to my voice and speak in a low but heavy tone. I think I can sympathize with the look on her face, but I don’t want to hear the wrinkles on her forehead. It’s weird not to make an impression when you say things you don’t want to hear. Hehe.

“Khh-hmm. What is John Kim’s point? I don’t think you’re making fun of me.” You have a habit of making noises when you’re upset.

And I looked at him, and I said, “If this is a joke, I’m not gonna stand for it! ’It is written.

“Of course not. However!”

Here comes my shoddy amputee. The cutting tool is deliberately disconnecting to burn someone else’s love soy sauce. When I first met Conrad to acquire my classmate dotcom, or negotiated with Robin Lee, I deliberately hung up and encouraged the flow. Now, even after that, you don’t have to think about anything. What if it’s not a rookie?

Concentrate your thoughts and look into Baysy’s eyes and I can see something. Passion or vigilance? Expectations? These are complex emotions. People are all the same. Everyone has a mind, just in case, and I hope things work out. I like to be recognized by others, and when things don’t go well, my child gets nervous. These things are also read in Bayshi’s eyes.

“I really liked what she said. When we asked them to look into the eyes of the client, not the eyes of the expert, we immediately learned why polygrams failed to produce the film. Experts have the advantage of being knowledgeable in this area, but sometimes they are too knowledgeable to ignore actual viewers. That was a very good point. ”

I truly complimented her. Why? Because you and I think alike.

The atmosphere changed rapidly because of my tone. I kept talking.

“As you said before, companies are trying to make movies happen. Creativity is important, but it’s a good movie with a moderately good up-and-coming performance, rather than a great performance. I think Baysy and I have something in common. ”

“Well, that’s the truth. In society, successful people don’t treat failed people with attention and effort. If you’re a filmmaker, and not an artist, I think you should battle as a result. ”

“Haha! That’s it! The result that the company wants is to profit from the success of the excitement, and the benefit comes from the pocket of the audience. Critics are just a simple tool for identifying those audiences. ”

I was more coded than I thought. I asked across industries such as filmmaking and distribution, and many of the stories from my experience helped me.

“Mr. Bay!”

“Yes?! What went wrong?” When I suddenly called out its name and got to the weight, it was a bit confusing. Hehe.

“What do you know about me? ”

I thought I’d introduce myself before making an offer. People accept the weight of the words differently depending on their status or power.

Mr. Bay says I’m buying a movie company, and he’s got a line of five or six people behind him, and he’s like, “This guy’s got some money. ‘I can only think of it.

“No, I don’t know anything about movies. ”

Khh! I thought I was famous in my own way, but I guess not.

“Phew! I’m delusional. Who knows what’s gonna happen next if you’re not a Hollywood star. Hardly anyone in the world knows Mr. Paulson from Goldman Sachs. You don’t even know who the president of Universal Studios is. ’

Come to think of it, there is nothing unfair. But if the buyer’s coming, shouldn’t we investigate? You may not have to come too much and take it seriously.

“Do you know a classmate dotcom or a Myway? ”

“Yes? Oh, yes. I know. I’m using the Myway. ”

“What about Google or Expedia? ”

“We both know that. But…?”

When I suddenly list the names of the companies, it gives me a questionable look. Well, all four companies are pretty well known in the United States.

“Expedia has a major shareholder, and the rest are companies that I run. ”

“Yes?! Are you sure?”

I feel a slight sense of superiority as I see that the prediction is completely out of order. Hehe.

Baek was surprised, his eyes turned wide open.

“Khh-hmm. I’m sorry. I didn’t know I was doing this. ”

“If you look it up on the Internet, you’ll see, I started these companies on my own. Even if you’re confident in your business in your own way, you’re not wrong, are you?”

Baysy looks back at me, but unlike in the beginning, there is a slightly ‘awe’ in her eyes. At first, no matter how old I am, I think I’ve seen a “punitive 2nd year”.

Maybe a rich son from the Orient came to buy a movie company? Maybe he had a heart. If I misunderstood that, I was clear who I was because smooth negotiation was difficult.

“Mr. Bay! Don’t you want to work with me? ”

“Yes?! And he said,” The blurring of the bay’s end is something to look forward to. We talked about this, but if you don’t notice, it’s stupid.

“I’d like you to take over as the President of Polygram. People like Baysy, if they had the chance, they could do much better than they do now. Will you be willing to cooperate actively with my acquisition of this company? ”

When the word “boss” comes out of my mouth, I can sense that my face changes. I was expecting something, but I’m not sure what it was.

“Thank you for valuing me so highly. ”

There is some politeness in your voice that you don’t know.

I have already seen similar perspectives in my conversations and have told them that I am a person who can provide ample support.

Of course, Mr. Bay accepted my offer. I wanted to lower my prices and get the things I needed from Baysy, an insider. In fact, the only person in the industry I know is Sean Fenn, and I’m fortunate to accidentally find a boss who can put my ideas into practice.

The rest of the conversation was like a private class on Beijing’s film business. There is no end to the flow of the whole, from the flow to the little things. I took what I needed from the notebook and organized my thoughts.

‘Hm. I’m in trouble after making a decision. Did you do something like this again?’ As soon as I cleaned up China, I did something else.

Due to due diligence, about half of the polygram’s film library had already gone into universal studio, so pricing could be calculated based on the prices purchased, but in the case of distribution networks or other intangible assets, it was ambiguous.

Since we’ve done polygram sales negotiations several times before, most of the materials were prepared, so we just needed to change the parts that changed over time. In addition, the asset identification has already been completed for the integration work, so relatively detailed data have been quickly overlooked.

Moreover, he immediately cooperated with our requests for urgent cash.

The actual value was $400 million, including some debts. I already have substantial inside information and the price is right for me

When I made my decision, the acquisition proceeded to the ‘Fourteenth Century’. With Polygram and Baysy’s active knowledge of the area, I was able to sign the contract less than two weeks after my words dropped.

The acquisition resulted in over 600 associates with more than 100 head office employees in distribution networks scattered across the United States and the world. I had things in mind, so I accepted all employees. If you don’t like it, you can cut it later.

I was devastated by 400 million dollars of my own blood. Moreover, now that we’ve allocated 100 million dollars for the new money, it’s like 500 million dollars.

‘Huff! This movie is expensive to make at the same time.’

When Sigram first released the polygram film to the market, it was more than a billion dollars, but he gave it up because he couldn’t sell it for that price.

Now that the assets have decreased a lot and the situation on the Sigram side has become urgent, I liked that the price has dropped a lot and I bought it cheaply, but when I take over the next works, it’s not worth the money to go in.

Forty-three million dollars just for Notting Hill, unless you recruit an investor or make a budget film, two movies alone would cost $100 million.

“Welcome.”

I’m visiting Polygram again. I used to just come to investigate, but now I’m treated differently as the owner of the company. The pretty girl at the reception comes out and greets me with a smile. Ugh! I have to watch my back in the future.

He led us straight inside, whether he had spoken to us in advance.

I walk down the hallway, pretending to work and peering. Seeing that it was sensitive to employees, I could see that it was absurd and exchanging opinions.

“Mr. Bayson, Mr. Crimson, what’s the name of this company? ”

I gather in the conference room, and I have a meeting about where I’m going, and I say, “Do I need to change my company name? ‘I doubt it.

“I disagree. The name Polygram is already known to some extent, but I don’t think it’s necessary. ”

“That’s true, but somehow Polygram is a little weak. It also feels a little distant with the names of all its subsidiaries being consistent. ”

Baysy and Mr. Crimson disagree.

‘Yes, the polygram feels like an apple after eating it. You have to change your name before something new blows.’ I thought of a few names on my head.

I’d love to let it go, but I don’t know why, but can’t we just ignore the tradition? You’re a pain in the ass.

“Ah, well, we’ll decide that later. For now, we can use the building here, and then we can reconsider when we move out later. ”

“And I want to hear the direction of how to proceed with filmmaking.” She wants to get started on the next one quickly. Is this your first work?

“Let me know once you’ve reviewed the original plans. The polygram record so far is poor. Let’s get this opportunity to fix the problem and start over. Make sure the first button is properly inserted. I have my own agenda, so I would like to review it and discuss it with you. ”

I spent days and nights thinking about measures to identify the cause of the company’s persistent manufacturing failure. Hehe. I want to try it first.

“Ms. Grant, there’s a staff meeting. ”

My secretary comes in and tells me. Before I came, I gathered my staff and told them I wanted to meet once, and they must have prepared it.

When a new command tower enters, employees will be shaken. They should explain and motivate the direction and current state of the company. This could have been Baysy appointed president, but I also wanted to see the employees who became my family members.

Heheheh… I just want to catch a foam once. You got 600 men at once, right?

I took Mr. Bay, Mr. Crimson and the officers to the auditorium.

“Is that the new buyer? ”

“You look so young. ”

“Huh? I think I’ve seen you around a lot. ”

“Don’t you know? It was in the papers. It was on TV last year when Classmate.com started. ”

“What is it? Is that him? Don’t you run Google and Myway? ”

I hear loud chatter, and my ears catch talking about me in between. When I get up on the ledge and grab the microphone, things get quiet around me.

“Hello, everyone. Nice to meet you. I’m John Kim. ”

I said my first hello and looked around at the staff, and I think there are more than 200 people here. It made me feel better to think that the combined staff at Johnston Group headquarters would lead nearly 2,000 people.

When I look down at the silent attention of employees of different ages and women to listen to me, I feel like I’m lifting up my youth.

“Now the polygram needs something new to break the old practice. ”

As soon as I say this, I see people’s collars moving. Is it because of the word “tapa,” “new”? Somehow I feel more nervous than I expected in people’s faces.

We’re running out of time, so it’s hard to write a single page. I want to write all the way down with my mind, but only my mind.

It’s still hard to make three to four hours a day, but the company is following the credentials, so… this is espionage.
