Chapter 1879 The Empire and the Uncommon Future Father-in-Law

Promoting the reorganization and integration of its media group is mainly to achieve a smooth and orderly reduction of internal organizations and personnel. After the reorganization and integration, the management cost and operating cost of the enterprise will continue to decrease, and the operating efficiency will increase steadily. In fact, this is what Andy has always wanted to do. Assets are thoroughly sorted out and digested, so that the reform can achieve remarkable results.

Whether it is "Newsweek", "Los Angeles Times" or NBC TV station, Universal Pictures has decades or even hundreds of years of history. It can be said that almost every company has historical burdens and management methods are different.

Although Andy's promotion of reorganization and integration this time will not be a one-size-fits-all approach, he will follow the modern market-oriented reform method and make solid progress step by step. At the same time, it will stick to a basic bottom line and will not shake the core assets of each company. It can be said that restructuring and integration is undoubtedly the best solution to promote all its media companies without any surprises.

Of course, it is also the best way for Andy Smith to completely control and centralize power.

"Reorganization and integration is not only a method, but also a reform!" Andy looked at Alvetrie and Bardstone and said seriously, "The media group can carry out institutional reforms through this reorganization and integration, and speed up the divestiture of non-profit organizations." Main business, non-advantageous business, continue to reduce management levels, promote the slimming of individual departments, improve work quality, increase efficiency, and improve the core competitiveness of the entire group."

For these, whether it is the professional elite Alvitlie or the financial expert Bard Stone, they are very clear about the benefits of reform, reorganization and integration for the current boss to better control their assets, and it is indeed time to sort it out.

After the barbaric expansion and development, it is necessary to slowly digest and concentrate, otherwise the development of a plate of loose sand will eventually cause problems one day. Alvetrie knows this best. Fortunately, after completing the acquisition of NBC Universal, an integration and reorganization has been completed. Both Summit Entertainment and AMC Cable TV have become part of the NBC Universal Group. This time, the media assets Integration is undoubtedly the final integration of media assets. After that, a brand new media empire will emerge in the United States that can rival News Corporation.

"Boss, your decision is..." Alvitley looked at his boss with deep eyes, and asked, this kind of important decision that determines the future of the group, he, the chief think tank, can only check for omissions and make up for vacancies, and cannot intervene The boss's decision is that he can't recognize his own death behavior.

"The establishment of Smith Media Group, under which NBC Universal, which focuses on entertainment, includes all entertainment companies including NBC TV Network, AMC Cable TV, and Universal Pictures, and all publishing and print media businesses will be formed into a new media company , since it is doing news, let's call it Truth (truth), when the time comes, those newspapers in the UK will also be included.

The last is the Marvel Group. For Marvel, I don’t intend to split it up and integrate it into the entertainment and news groups. It will join the Smith Media Group as an independent and equal status.

In this way, Smith Media Group has three sub-groups, entertainment group NBC Universal, News Group Truth, and Marvel Group. I will be the president and group CEO of Smith Media Group, and I will be selected from the heads of the three sub-groups. . . "

Andy confessed his plan completely, hoping to let Alvetrie and Bardstone, two confidantes, help him find out the gaps and make up for the gaps. It can be done, and Andy has even prepared to complete the entire integration and reorganization plan in one to two years.

"I will ask the think tank to come up with a concrete restructuring reform plan,

In fact, the difficulty and resistance will not be too great, and it will not take a year or two. The main reason is that the boss has complete control over these assets, and there are no other shareholders or directors. The biggest difficulty is the appointment and dismissal of the management. If there are too many people involved and the number of companies involved, the impact will be great. "

Alvitre also knows that once the reform plan is launched, it will inevitably cause a strong turmoil. Whether it is new appointments or dismissals, streamlining of organizations, layoffs and recruitment, the scale of BO will reach 10,000 to 20,000 people. During the period when the rate remains high, the big move of the boss will attract the attention of the whole United States. Even if this plan is released, the entire American society will be in an uproar, and the person in the White House will not be able to sit still.

"The arrow is on the string, and we have to launch it." Andy frowned slightly, and said lightly, this was originally the plan he had established at the beginning, step by step to the present, he could not hesitate to usher in a brand new The era is bound to undergo a turbulent reform. He doesn't want to win the country with great difficulty, and finally lose it little by little because of insecurity.

When Alvetrie and Budstone left, Andy put his hands in his trouser pockets, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows with deep eyes, looking at the dark cloud-covered New York sky outside the window, and the towering Empire State Building in the distance, a gray tone , making this steel jungle look particularly depressing, as if a storm is about to come.

"... At that time, Xizi Nakahara and Renoir of the foot basin signed the final agreement with me to jointly manage the Empire State Building. This cooperative alliance is jointly managed by the trust company founded and controlled by the Xizi couple and the CP Empire State Building Cooperation Company, which I newly controlled. The title deed to the Empire State Building under the custody of the Xizi couple was transferred to our new cooperative alliance.

And the daily operation and management of this alliance all depend on me. At that time, if I could expel Leona Helmsley and Peter Mortin from the Empire State Building, then I would get 50% of the Empire State Building shares , will undoubtedly suddenly become a cornucopia. . . . . . "

The interior decoration is a perfect blend of Renaissance, Gothic and oriental features, and the ceiling and arcades are covered with gilded patterns. In the dining room where bright marble, gold-plated luxury decoration and glorious crystal chandeliers complement each other, CP is in high spirits, smiling proudly, Andy listening attentively, Ivana with a happy smile, and Several others recounted successful business cases from his past.

The reason why these things are mentioned is not that CP wants to show off in front of his future son-in-law, but that Andy asked specifically, because Andy took a fancy to the Empire State Building, an American landmark, and back then, around the Empire In the battle for the building, like a Hollywood blockbuster, his cheap future father-in-law was not only a witness, but he almost got half of the property rights of the Empire State Building. Although he failed in the end, he also earned tens of millions from it.

Maybe some people will curl their lips. Compared with tens of millions of dollars, the Empire State Building has nothing to brag about.

On the contrary, in this battle for the Empire State Building, CP really showed very powerful business methods. You must know that in the 1990s, the ownership of the Empire State Building was only worth 40 million US dollars. Its value itself is naturally not proportional, that is because the right to use the Empire State Building has been leased out, and the period is 110 years, so all ownership is not very valuable.

"There is a big gap between the Empire State Building in the public image and the Empire State Building that used to be an office building. By the 1990s, the gap became even bigger. Office workers on all floors, every day Facing this old building, there is a feeling of dullness and even suffocation. It looks like a briquette. It is disgusting... "

CP recalled the Empire State Building back then, with a disgusted look on his face, but regret and helplessness flashed in his eyes. The person who covets the Empire State Building most in the world is undoubtedly him, and he used all kinds of means at the beginning, even shamelessly All methods were used, just to snatch the Empire State Building. But after all, he was cheated to death by his pig teammates.

"At the beginning, I united all the tenants to write a petition, demonstrate, let the media report the disrepair of the Empire State Building, various problems and troubles, and form a review team to report on the results of the review of the Empire State Building's lease status, and gave the two tenants The family that has owned the Empire State Building for 110 years issued an ultimatum to rectify it, and finally sent them to court, preparing to kill them with one blow, terminate the 110-year lease contract, and kick them out.

However, everything is due to the infighting of the damn foot basin family, and the competition for property made things more complicated, which made the opponents who had conflicts unite to resist me, and I could only fight alone. 7 years, the lawsuit ended 7 years, in 2002 the New York court dismissed my lawsuit, and the battle for the Empire State Building ended in defeat! "

Having said that, CP's face was full of anger and unwillingness, and there was anger in his eyes, which showed how deep this matter was in his heart.
