Chapter 1994: Drum and Hammer

Feng Yiping said that for this reason, everyone already understood that Arad must have done something outside that harmed the public and enriched private life, which seriously violated professional ethics.

As long as it points out the direction, in fact, if you think about it, you can come up with some clues. However, I used to think that when Arad made so much money for the company, but the company did not pay more in return, what he did seemed like It’s not that it’s incomprehensible.

But it seems that from the perspective of the new boss, this cannot be forgiven under any circumstances.

Of course Arad himself knew this, but he still didn't want to give up. In other words, he also believed that what he did was not unforgivable, or he believed that he could bring Feng Yiping more rewards than he expected.

He changed his attitude and said with an unusually sincere attitude and tone, "Feng, as the founder of the film department, over the years, I have the most thorough and long-term considerations on how the film department will operate in the future, and I have done a good job The company’s film production plan for the next ten years has been determined. I guarantee that this is definitely the most suitable film production plan for Marvel.”

"I believe that I can work together with my colleagues in the film department to build Marvel into a world-class film company in terms of scale and profitability..."

Faced with such a situation, he could still smoothly say something like this. If it were anyone else, he would definitely weigh the gains and losses. Arad's mental quality, or comprehensive ability, really cannot be underestimated.

But unfortunately, he was facing Feng Yiping.

"I just said, don't emphasize how irreplaceable you are in front of me, but look, you still emphasize how irreplaceable you are..."

"Feng, I'm not saying how irreplaceable I am. What I want to say is," Arad interrupted Feng Yiping, "if you don't let me be in charge of the film department, how many opportunities will the company miss? I We have made very thorough preparations for this..."

"Don't tell me how many opportunities I will miss," Feng Yiping waved his hand without looking at him, "Do you know how I spent my entire high school years? Every day I was walking by, thousands of Don't miss it, spend it with the cry of 'Don't miss it,'"

"So I missed a lot of so-called opportunities, but look at my achievements today, have they been affected?"

Everyone at Marvel was confused, what the hell is this? Did you have a lot of people pitching their ideas in front of you when you were in high school?

Wu Qian, who is also from China, thinks, "Don't miss it if you are passing by." Why does this phrase sound so familiar?

Thinking about it, she almost couldn't help laughing.

So, when the boss was in high school, there was a discount store on the way to school that always had a sale every day on the last day?

"As for now, in my several business headquarters in China, there are always people who use various means to sell their ideas to me. Even in the United States, the people who come to me the most are hoping that I will give them a chance to sell them to me. Their business plan people, oh, of course, they also call it, give me a chance,"

"However, from the day I started my business, why should I ask others to give me a chance? Colleagues who have worked with me for more than a year will know that whether we are starting a business or generating income, what worries us is not that there are too few opportunities, but that there are too few opportunities. There are so many opportunities,”

If it were anyone else showing off like this in front of Marvel people like Palmater and Arad, they would probably scoff at it. Isn't it just bragging? It seems like no one can do it.

But this person is Feng Yiping, one of the most successful people in the world in business, and most of the people here will probably work with him for more than a year, so what he said is probably not true. boast.

"Besides, I've said before that if I randomly bring in dozens of people from the street to sit here, as long as they do what I ask, they really won't do any worse than everyone here. So, in this case,"

He didn't say what such words meant, but the way he shook his head and the look of disgust on his face completely showed his attitude.

"Well, it seems that we still have to make things clear." He threw one of the documents in front of Palmater. "You can circulate it."

"However, I think everyone knows what's going on here, or in other words, everyone has thought of it,"

Seeing that Feng Yiping was showing off his trump card, Arad was still holding his neck, acting like it was no big deal.

"Our respected Mr. Arad, when negotiating with Sony on behalf of the company and Fox, and when he represented the company and became a producer, he also reached another agreement with them,"

"That is, when he clearly knows that he is representing Marvel and is a manager authorized by Marvel, rather than an independent producer, whether it is Spider-Man or the sequel to X-Men, he will work with They struck a producer deal for themselves, giving him a stake in the sequel,"

"So everyone, while making profits for the company, Mr. Allard's pocket is also full,"

"What I'm most angry about is not that some people are enriching themselves for this. What I'm most angry about is the negative impact such behavior has had on the company's image. We at Marvel, in the eyes of many people in the industry, have been reduced to a mere It's a joke, you know?" Feng Yiping said, knocking on the table.

I'm afraid only Wu Qian understood the other meaning of Feng Yiping's words. He was equally angry about enriching his own pockets, otherwise, he wouldn't have pointed it out.

"Even those bold people on Wall Street know and abide by an iron rule that neither they nor their relatives can speculate in stocks, or carry out the same investment activities simultaneously with the company, but many of us here actually If you take this kind of thing for granted, do you still have the most basic professional ethics?”

"Or is there still a little bit of shame in this? For money, you can be shameless, but the company still wants it, and I still want it,"

After a few words, many people felt their faces burning and lowered their heads.

However, when they saw the document that was passed over and saw the income that Arad earned for himself by riding on the bus, no one looked at him with strange eyes.

It’s not because the amount is too high, but because the amount is really not high. No wonder the new boss says that his behavior has made Marvel a laughing stock.

You can almost imagine how he discussed his shares with those two companies at that time. Should he not talk, use pleading, or simply beg? may be more appropriate.

This eating appearance is really ugly.

Arad chose to fight to the end. After all, when things got to this point, he couldn't help but give up. He raised his hand, "I can guarantee that everything I do will be done without harming the interests of the company."

"Under such circumstances, why am I not surprised at all when I hear such words?" Feng Yiping leaned back in his seat very relaxedly, "What about this one?"

Palmater picked up the new document thrown in front of him by Feng Yiping, took a look at it, and immediately stood up, "Arad, you are actually setting up your own production company?"

"What?" When he said this, not only other executives but also Allard himself stared at Feng Yiping in disbelief. How could he know this?

"This is a society with advanced information." Looking at Arad who was surprised again, Feng Yiping shook his head.

Before spending more than two billion dollars, wouldn't he conduct a comprehensive investigation on the target?

He has an extraordinary relationship with Hollywood, is it just talk?

Considering his current status, if he wanted to inquire about something in Hollywood and let it out, he would soon receive a steady stream of information.

"I resign," Arad said dejectedly, lowering his head.

Even without a non-compete agreement, his behavior would not be accepted by anyone with professional ethics, let alone his boss.

…………

Arad left the conference room. Accompanied by company security, he will go to the human resources department to handle relevant procedures and go to the office to pick up his personal belongings.

Someone could see that the high-end sushi ordered by Parmat had actually been delivered. However, no one in the conference room felt that their blood sugar was too low.

Today's scene is really shocking.

A high-ranking and experienced executive like Arad was taken down as soon as he said he would take it, and he also gave up all his rights and interests in the company. This scene made them all nervous.

Fortunately, Feng Yiping's words made them relax a little.

"Okay, now it's our own time,"

Many people heard the exhalation of their colleagues next to them, and finally they were one of their own.

"I hope everyone can understand my opinion on the disposal, and I believe everyone can also understand that if Arad continues to develop like this, the result will definitely be that any project that can generate income for the company will be pursued for personal gain,"

This is something Feng Yiping cannot tolerate, that is, he is a person who has a dominant hand. Do you expect such a person to change?

"I also want to reiterate once again that we have zero tolerance for similar things. Please keep this in mind,"

After saying this, he paused for a moment, and his eyes swept across the faces of everyone present, including Palmater.

Marvel's executives had never thought that the young man who walked into the conference room with a smile could bring so much pressure to everyone with just his gaze.

"Next, I will announce another personnel appointment,"

At this moment, no one could care about their expectations. Their first thought was, Phew, he finally spoke and finally stopped staring at us.

"I declare that Kevin Feige will serve as President of Marvel Studios." Following the direction of his finger, a man who looked a bit like Woody Harrelson stood up.

But he didn't look too surprised.

That's because Feng Yiping asked Palmater to communicate with him in advance.

This decision is not beyond the expectations of others. If the person in charge of Marvel Studios is to be selected from within, Feige, who, like Arad, has also served as the producer of many Marvel movies, will naturally be the one above. select.

"Thank you Feng, I will definitely lead the film department team to work well," Feige said very simply.

Mainly because of the current situation, it’s hard to say it’s too gorgeous and high-sounding.

"Okay," Feng Yiping raised his hand to stop everyone's applause, "At the same time, we will set up a creative committee headed by Palmater to ensure that Marvel Studios' various projects can become high-quality products and be loyal to our comics. "

Palmater raised his head and nodded coldly to everyone as before.

Although everyone doesn't know much about the so-called "Creative Committee" at this time, they do know one thing, that is, Feng Yiping's decision means that Fei Qi, the head of independent Marvel Studios, will in the future Will also report to Parmat.

The old man's position is still as stable as before.

"After careful discussion between Palmat and I, the creative committee includes the following members..."

…………

When it was close to ten o'clock in the evening, Feng Yiping finally stood up, "Today's meeting ends here,"

Finally it's over, right?

The executives who were also packing up their things saw that Feng Yiping suddenly stopped what he was doing, "By the way, there is one more thing I want to emphasize,"

"I also have my own media company in China. On the day it was established, I told everyone that I don't want my company to have those messy things in the entertainment industry,"

"I don't know much about the situation in Hollywood, but I think there will probably be no exceptions,"

Well, let's continue to sit down with our heads down!

"I won't blame you for the past, but from today, from now on, I don't want the same thing to happen to Marvel, no matter if you are a man or a woman, no matter if the one who threatens or harasses you is a man or a woman, whatever, I hope everyone can remember that the company has zero tolerance for such things,"

"If you find one, you will be dealt with strictly and will never tolerate it!"
