Chapter 1980 Taking Advantage of Every Opportunity

"This is the wine from Agapanthus Winery. The founder was once the winemaker of Chateau Margaux." Eddie introduced enthusiastically. This flattery is right. Yang Cheng didn't buy the winery just to pretend to be 13, but In order to sell wine, what better place to promote it than a high-end occasion like this?

“No wonder, I drank it and got a unique sense of age that only Bordeaux can have.”

"Is this wine worth selling?"

Eddie immediately answered, "Of course, we have specially arranged staff in the side hall to be responsible for reception. If you are interested, you can go to the side hall to learn more about it later. In addition, this time we have people transport 2,000 bottles from the winery. Red wine is coming in, there’s not a lot of it, it’s first come, first served~”

"Really? There are only 2,000 bottles? Then I have to buy some~"

"I'll go too, I'll go too~"

"2,000 bottles? It's not enough to share among the people on site~"

. . .

Everyone was talking to each other, and they were preparing to leave to buy drinks. Fortunately, Richard Plepler also knew this process, otherwise he would have been confused.

While everyone was leaving, Long Ma stood on tiptoes and whispered in Yang Cheng's ear, "Leave two boxes for me. I want to try it too. This is my first time drinking Chilean red wine."

This intimate action suddenly shortened the distance between the two. Yang Cheng took out his hand, gently held the other person's waist, and pressed it against the fair skin without hesitation. His whole body was refreshed. When he first watched TV, he wanted to experience it for himself, and this wish finally came true.

Long Ma was very generous. She did not reject Yang Cheng's intimacy at all. Instead, she leaned against Yang Cheng very thoughtfully. She was less than 160cm tall and was very petite even in high heels. From a distance, it looked like she was being raped by Yang Cheng. It's like being wrapped in orange.

"If you want to drink it, I'll have it delivered directly to your home and fill up your wine library~"

Yang Cheng kept his word. Just two days later, he had a container truck delivered to Long Ma's home in Los Angeles. The underground wine cellar, which could hold more than 1,000 bottles of wine, was filled to the brim. This was not enough. I had to clear out the low-end wine that had been placed there before.

. . .

Speaking back to the present, Yang Cheng and Long Ma understood each other's thoughts through a few small actions, and then disappeared. No one knows where they went or what they did during the more than an hour they disappeared, and maybe no one Notice.

Anyway, when the two of them appeared again,

Richard Plepler had already finished his speech, and those who were interested discovered that the dress on Ma Long seemed to have changed.

Yang Cheng helped Long Ma, who was walking in vain, to find Richard Plepler and got to know each other. He and Long Ma had known each other for a long time.

"Let's talk in a quiet place?" Yang Cheng suggested.

Richard Plepler readily agreed. He also wanted to have a good chat with the new boss and understand each other's ideas so that he could work better.

Long Ma was very discerning. When she saw that the two of them were discussing business, she wanted to find an excuse to leave.

Unexpectedly, Yang Cheng took the initiative and said, "Let's listen together. Maybe you can find the next opportunity?"

Yang Cheng blinked, the meaning is self-evident, this is reward!

As for whether you can grasp it, it depends on whether Long Ma herself is smart enough.

The three of them came to the quiet reception area specially designed in the banquet hall. Each person was holding a glass of red wine. Yang Cheng said, "Richard, I invite you here because I hope you can build the CW TV station into a great art gallery. I hope the artist will hang his best work inside.”

This straight-to-the-point sentence expressed Yang Cheng's ambition, and also made Richard Plepler couldn't help but become serious, "If possible, I also hope to be able to do it, but on this road, we need to have enough You have to be patient and pay enough money.”

Yang Cheng nodded, "I don't lack any of these, but what I lack is someone who can make perfect use of time and money. I'm not afraid of giving, but I'm afraid of paying in vain."

Plepler said solemnly, "I will not let your investment go to waste."

Yang Cheng changed his voice and said in a relaxed tone, "This time you joined the CW TV station, but the jaws of people in the industry were shocked. You must know that HBO is now entering the golden age of the brand."

Plepler spread his hands helplessly, "Yes, this is very lucky. We have a good momentum in terms of talents. It is similar to the embarrassment of having too much money and nowhere to spend it. Every Friday, we will learn some things about it. You’re excited about creative ideas that didn’t come to you on Monday.

If I must say, we are very close to the great art museum you call us. Countless masters, contemporary painters, and new generation artists, when they want to show their talents to the outside world, they all We can be the first to think of HBO and bring their great work to us. "

Yang Cheng also sighed, "When I was a kid, HBO was one of the few high-quality platforms that always had high-quality programs. During your 25 years of tenure, especially in the past five or six years, Netflix, Hulu and Amazon When other companies join the market and there are other Internet-based content providers, how do you keep HBO unique in such fierce competition? How do you stand out from the competition?"

Plepler said without hesitation, "First of all, I never think this is a zero-sum game. I never think that because 'The Crown' is a good show on Netflix, it detracts from 'Westworld,' 'Big and Little,' The brilliance of shows like "The Lie" or "The Fool", that's not the case.

It just means that high-quality content has been added to the entire environment. I always emphasize during HBO meetings: Our responsibility is to act in our own way and continue to do our own things.

As much as possible, ensure that consumers not only have access to the most sophisticated content produced by HBO, but also ensure that the corresponding products are presented no matter when, where and how customers want to obtain content, now and in the future.

It's for this reason that I created a multi-distribution strategy at HBO and that I continue to stick to my core values, which is the way I think about the creative process. These are being implemented, and the results are very good.

If I had not left, I believe that the line at the door of HBO this fall would be longer than it was five years ago, much longer than it was ten years ago. Everyone already knows that the only criterion for me to measure the quality of content is quality. If we stick to this, talent will buy in and it will become a virtuous cycle. "

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Yang Cheng heard a sense of reluctance in his words. Is he unwilling to leave HBO? Or are you unwilling that your planning and vision have not been realized?

However, he did not ask this question. If it is not handled well, it may cause a rift between the two. The other party has not officially joined the company yet. If a conflict occurs at this time, the CW TV station will undoubtedly lose the most!
