Chapter 707 Haina Options
After stabilizing the automobile company, Yang Dongxu came to Haina's headquarters the next day. Just like Hurricane Construction, there was always news that Haina was going to build a headquarters building.
After all, although the office area on the two floors of Guomao looks very luxurious, compared with the entertainment companies in Hong Kong and Taiwan, which often have this building or that building, as the boss of the mainland entertainment company, it owns half of the Hong Kong, Taiwan and even the entire Asian market.
It is indeed a bit unreasonable that Haina does not have an office building of its own, but Haina has always been in trouble in the past few years. The company's CEO went directly to jail, and the original major shareholder Fu Decai retreated behind the scenes.
So even though Haina has developed rapidly in recent years, it always gives people a feeling of instability and trouble. So this matter has been delayed again and again.
It was finally delayed until this year that it was relatively stable. The program cooperating with the local satellite TV began to be popular, especially the work expanded a profit channel. When the company's senior management was ready to re-mention the office building, the Changhua case broke out.
Although the final result did not cause too much consequence because Yang Dongxu explained that he was too sincere, he certainly got into trouble. At this time, the most suitable thing to do was to be a coward. How could he still be so loud and want to build a headquarters building? So this matter was delayed again.
After arriving at the company, Yang Dongxu went directly into the chairman's office, and did not stroll around the departments like he did two years ago. He did not have a company here in Haina before. This office belonged to Fu Decai. Later, after Fu Decai completely retreated behind the scenes, this office became empty.
Yang Dongxu's previous performance, as well as Chen Hong, the possible future helmsman of the company, and Li Zongsheng, who was far away in Taiwan, and Fu Decai, the major shareholder who had not appeared for a long time, appeared in the company together.
All the company's employees and artists subconsciously spoke a lot less, and looked towards the direction of the chairman's office from time to time. They knew that something big might happen today.
"It's your own money anyway, I support you no matter what you do." In the office, Yang Dongxu sat in the main seat, and Chen Hong, Li Zongsheng and Fu Decai sat in other seats.
Yang Dongxu was brewing tea with tea sets. Li Zongsheng took a sip of the teacup and spoke, while his eyes involuntarily fell on Fu Decai.
The reason why all the people who can make decisions in the company were called here today was because Yang Dongxu was going to take advantage of the panic in the company to maintain stability and cash in the options he promised before.
When Haina was first established, there was an option setting, but after all these years of operation, only the options of the management level were cashed in, and the star options were only a small part, and most of the promises were still not implemented.
This undoubtedly buried hidden dangers between the company and some artists. Although this hidden danger has not exploded because Haina has been advancing rapidly in recent years, as the entertainment market develops more and more diversified, more and more capital is injected and it is only a matter of time before it explodes, so Yang Dongxu is going to remove this mine this time.
And cashing in options is undoubtedly to weaken the equity in his hands. At present, Haina has four shareholders in addition to Yang Dongxu, Li Zongsheng, Fu Decai and Wu Aibing.
Everyone knows why Wu Aibing is a shareholder, so no one cares that he did not participate in this discussion this time. Therefore, the main objects of discussion are Li Zongsheng and Fu Decai, to be precise, the focus is on Fu Decai.
Because of the previous incident, Fu Decai has now completely retreated behind the scenes. Because of his second brother Fu Dehai's incident, the gap between the two families has not been eliminated so far. So this proposal gives people the feeling that Yang Dongxu wants to further dilute Fu Decai's equity.
"I have no objection." Fu Decai said with a smile, and the smile on his long-haired face is as always like a playboy. It is hard to tell what he is thinking.
"If you have no objection, then draw up a list. The new stars who will cash out their equity will be temporarily set at five people." Yang Dongxu did not say that he would take out his own equity and leave the shares of others untouched, nor did he comfort anything. As he became more and more mature, he still talked about personal relationships in private matters, but became more and more rational in public affairs.
"How to divide it roughly?" Li Zongsheng asked.
At present, Haina has three main departments, the record department, the film department and the TV series department. Although movies and TV series are currently under the unified management of the film and television department, there are still subtle differences in them.
Because many movie stars have acted in TV series, but their achievements in movies are too high to be compared with those in TV series, and the status of the best actor in movies is obviously higher than that of the best actor, so movie stars always surpass TV stars.
But TV series are the signature of Haina, or the cradle of new stars. For example, the popular "My Fair Princess" has made several newcomers famous, and Haina has more than one similar popular TV series every year.
Therefore, more than two-thirds of all artists in Haina now come from TV series, so TV series stars are the most numerous and powerful group in Haina, so there will be some friction between the two, especially when some Hong Kong and Taiwan stars are not promoted by Haina, but are already famous.
Compared with the contradictions between these two groups, the record department is a bit aloof and indifferent, and occasionally singers switch to filming movies or TV series to tease. So Haina Company seems to be harmonious and developing rapidly on the surface, but in fact, many internal contradictions are just suppressed and have not erupted.
"No matter the department, it's based on the contribution to the company."
Yang Dongxu's natural way Li Zongsheng asked what this meant. At present, because of his strong boss and Xiaoxu's myth, the contradictions in the company were suppressed and did not erupt.
But this is undoubtedly because there has not been enough stimulation, and options are undoubtedly a huge and strong stimulation. If one is not handled well, the contradictions that erupt are not as simple as one or two.
"This." Li Zongsheng and Fu Decai frowned.
This selection standard seems fair. After all, you make the most money for the company, and it is normal for the company to give you stock rewards. But there are also many unfairnesses in it. As I said just now, among the company's artists, movie stars have the highest net worth, TV stars have the most stars, and singers are not so obedient.
So this distribution method is no different from directly giving all five stock rewards to movie stars. It would be strange if other artists didn't feel resentful.
"Whoever makes the greatest contribution to the company gets the equity reward. This is the greatest fairness. Although there are several departments inside, as far as I know, whether it is a singer who sings or a star who acts in TV.
The company is not absolutely fair in the allocation of film resources, but at least everyone has the opportunity to make a movie. The scripts are good scripts selected by the company, and some are even scripts selected by themselves.
As a result, others acted in a movie and their value rose rapidly, but the movie you acted in not only made money but also made the company lose money? What did the company say? Why can't I give shares to those who help the company make money just because you sing well and act in a good TV series and make the company lose money?"
In fact, compared with other entertainment companies, Haina Company is already a conscientious company, with the golden signboard of TV series and Yang Dongxu, a creator with bugs.
Haina did not carry out a large-scale star-making campaign, nor did it dig any pits for trainees or students who graduated from film and television academies.
For example, in the formulation of contracts, newcomers are generally five years, and the penalty for breach of contract is always a very conscientious practice. There are thousands of young people who want to become stars, beautiful, handsome, with good figures, and good temperament.
In short, there is everything, and once Haina's sign is placed here, even if a contract with a 20-year liquidated damages is directly offered, these newcomers will flock to it.
If it were another company, the contract for newcomers would start at least ten years, and then after the new stars become popular, they would squeeze the value of the new stars in various ways. When the contract expires, they would directly hide the new stars and strangle the other party's way to the entertainment industry, not giving other companies any chance to be simple.
Occasionally, there are a few very talented people who don't get along with the company and have to leave. As long as someone takes over and takes out the contract, they can sell it directly at a good price and make a fortune. In this way, there is no loss.
So in Yang Dongxu's view, he has shown his greatest sincerity to face the company's artists, and when other entertainment companies are still squeezing their artists, he has taken out the equity incentive system and has done everything he can.
He has done this, and if there are still people who make trouble because of jealousy, he doesn't mind letting these people see his iron-blooded wrist. With Haina's current status in the entertainment industry, Yang Dongxu's connections in China and Asia, and even in Hollywood, he has a certain voice of influence. He said who he wants to ban, and see who can come back to life.
"Where does the screening period start?" Chen Hong said after a moment of hesitation.
She is not a shareholder of Haina at present, but she is sitting here today. It's not because she is Yang Dongxu's woman, but Yang Dongxu is a hands-off boss. Fudecai doesn't care now, and Li Zongsheng only cares about his own record department. The final implementation of this matter is undoubtedly hers.
"Regardless of time periods, we will directly count the revenues brought to the company by all artists from the establishment of the company until now, and exclude the top five to directly issue option rewards.
These five quotas are lifetime fixed quotas, which means that as long as the five selected people do not violate the law or leave the company, these shares will belong to them.
In addition to these five quotas, I will take out five more option stock quotas starting next year to reward the five artists who made the most money for the company this year.
These five quotas are floating quotas, which means that they are selected once a year, and whoever is selected will directly enjoy a year of option scarlet. In addition to these two types of quotas, I will also take out lifetime achievement option rewards.
This is prepared for the company's diligent old people, that is, as long as they work diligently for the company, in addition to the full pension, there will be stock rewards."
The last decision is undoubtedly the finishing touch. If the first five option quotas are to stabilize the hearts of the company's most popular artists, then the second option reward is to stimulate competition among artists.
The third is to maintain Haina's reputation and tell all those who have not contributed to Haina that he, Yang Dongxu, will not exploit you when you are popular, and will not abandon you when you are not popular. As long as you have made contributions to Haina and are loyal to Haina, you will have money for retirement, even a large sum of money, regardless of whether you are popular in your later years.
In fact, this is also a reassurance to some old people at a time when some people in the company are in turmoil. After all, even major shareholders like Fudecai have stepped aside, and the CEO has been directly imprisoned.
Although there are reasons for everything, it still gives people a sense of desolation. So it’s nonsense to talk about feelings and ideals. Giving real benefits directly is the most correct choice. Most people are realistic. After all, only a few people are willing to endure hunger and starvation for feelings without regrets.
After the meeting, Li Zongsheng went to the record department. Chen Hong notified the secretary to prepare for the meeting. She planned to discuss this matter at the management meeting.
The success of the cooperation with Anhui Satellite TV gave Chen Hong a certain confidence, even though most of the success was due to Yang Dongxu.
And this time, Yang Dongxu gave her such a big thing as equity reward, which undoubtedly wanted to further establish her prestige and status in the company and pave the way for her to take charge of the company, so she must do this beautifully without any mistakes.
After the two left, only Yang Dongxu and Fu Decai were left in the office.
