Reborn as a Hong Kong Tycoon

Chapter 207 Shirley Lansing
Lin Baicheng is in Los Angeles, and Michael Eisner and Shirley Lansing are also in Los Angeles. Therefore, when Shirley Lansing, the first of the two, expressed willingness to meet and talk through the headhunting company, the two parties quickly made a decision time and place.

Lin Baicheng took Isabella with him.

When Lin Baicheng and Isabella arrived, Shirley Lansing was already sitting there drinking coffee.

"Hello, Ms. Shirley Lansing, I am Lin Baicheng, you can also call me Alan, this is my assistant Isabella."

"Hello, Mr. Allen, and Miss Isabella!"

Shirley Lansing shook hands with both of them.

Shirley Lansing was not surprised by Lin Baicheng's ethnicity and age, because she already knew Lin Baicheng's basic information from the headhunting company. Too stupid.

Regarding Lin Baicheng's age, Shirley Lansing certainly had concerns at the beginning, after all, Lin Baicheng is not yet 20 years old.However, after she learned from the headhunting company that Lin Baicheng has a net worth of more than 10 billion U.S. dollars, and it only took about a year, she dared not underestimate Lin Baicheng in the slightest.

Lin Baicheng has strong ability and strong capital, so this newly established film company may have a place in Hollywood, so Shirley Lansing is willing to come to meet and chat first.

The three sat down, and Lin Baicheng and Isabella also ordered coffee.

Afterwards, Lin Baicheng said bluntly: "Ms. Lansing, I read your resume. Although you have only changed your career as a producer for a few years, your ability is beyond doubt, otherwise you would not have been appointed as the vice president of the company. For you ability, I have nothing to say, I am going to set up a film company, so I want to find a capable leader for this company, you are very suitable, what do you think?"

"I want to ask a few questions first."

Shirley Lansing said aloud, and seeing Lin Baicheng signaled that she could ask casually, she continued: "First of all, Mr. Allen, how much money can you invest in this film company?" This is the most important thing, it is related to the size of the company .

If the scale is too small, Shirley Lansing will not continue to ask questions, so she just got up and left.She is now the vice president of a subsidiary of Columbia. Instead of leaving to become the president of a small film company, she might as well stay in the current company.

Lin Baicheng did not answer the specific number, but said: "In my plan, the film company must have a film library. The more films in stock, the better. For this reason, we can even spend extra money to buy film libraries from other film companies. Furthermore, the film company must have its own distribution department, not only in the US and North American markets, but also in the European market. The last is the production department of the film company. Needless to say, as the company For the development of scale, the production department must have the ability to shoot multiple films at the same time.”

"Of course, what I'm talking about doesn't mean to realize everything immediately, but to realize it slowly during the company's development. Then, Ms. Lansing, how much money do you think is appropriate for my film company to invest at the beginning?"

Shirley Lansing did not answer right away, but pondered to calculate.However, Lin Baicheng's ambition still satisfies her. She doesn't want to stay in a small company all the time. Only when the boss's ambition is greater, can she have more room to display it.

"I don't think there is any rush for the film library. We can wait until the company's production department and distribution department are set up before thinking about it. If the company makes money, of course it will have the money to expand the film library. On the contrary, what the company has to consider is how to turn losses into profits. Rather than thinking about expanding the film library."

"If the company is just established, it is best to acquire a Hollywood film company first. This film company must have departments such as production, publicity, and distribution. In this way, once the acquisition is completed, the company can immediately expand on the original basis."

"A minimum of $3000 million is required for the acquisition plus the working capital required by the company."

Shirley Lansing's bottom line is 2000 million US dollars. After acquiring a large-scale film company, she must at least have the funds to make two or three low-cost films. Otherwise, no matter how capable she is, she will not be able to develop the company. Then what else would she do.

Shirley Lansing never wanted to make a big movie. For a new film company, starting with a small-budget film is the best choice.

"It's not a lot, and I'm ready to spend $5000 million on the film company."

It is true that Lin Baicheng has more than 2 million US dollars of funds at his disposal, but it does not mean that he will invest all of it in the film company.For a film company that has just been established, it is the right way to develop slowly. If you take too big a step all at once, you might get screwed.

"In terms of remuneration, in addition to the same basic salary as the presidents of other small and medium-sized film companies in the same industry, I will also take out 10% of the shares as an option to reward the entire management. The position of president will get the most option rewards, but how much you can get depends on your contribution to the company.”

"Mr. Allen, will you let the film company go public?"

Shirley Lansing asked aloud, she was still moved by the option award of a company with an initial investment of 5000 million US dollars.If she can get half of the 5% option and develop the company's market value to more than 5 million US dollars in a few years, the value of the 5% option award will not be low.

As for what to do if the company's market value does not reach more than 5 million U.S. dollars, that is her own problem. After all, she is the president. It is she who did not develop the company, so no one else is to blame.

"should be."

Lin Baicheng said with a smile: "Even if the company is not listed at that time, and the time has passed, and the option owner wants to leave the company, I will take back the shares at a price-earnings ratio of five times the company's market value at that time." The time must be specified in the contract, so Lin Baicheng did not say to recover at a price-earnings ratio of times, because he did not want to be taken advantage of, and a price-earnings ratio of times is not low.

"Mr. Allen, I think I need time to think about it."

Shirley Lansing nodded. This was related to her career, and she was going to go back and think about it.If she just wanted to come and have a look when she said she came, then now she is really moved and is considering whether to take action.

"this is necessary."

Lin Baicheng nodded, and then said: "To be honest, I will also contact other professional managers to conduct comprehensive consideration and find the most suitable candidate."

"Choices are mutual, I understand that."

Of course, Shirley Lansing knew that it was impossible to let the other party wait for her to make a decision. Just as she had to consider whether to join this new company, the other party also had to consider whether to choose her.

Afterwards, the two sides chatted for a while, and then left separately, ending this exchange.
