Nearly six years later, in the second half of 2009, Alan Wilson officially resigned as the chairman of the Coca-Cola Group. In the interview, I talked about the acquisition in early 2004, about the half-hour conversation that was already famous in film history at that time, and about Li Qian.

He said: "Before we met, we had collected detailed information about each other, so I knew that Qi was the real operator of Minghu Culture. At that time, my assistants told me that Li was the real operator of Minghu Culture. An artist, a singer, a great musician, a lead singer, an actor, a director, etc. He has many identities, he is an artistic all-rounder, but he is not a businessman, he is very He is concerned about this acquisition, but he will not interfere in the specific negotiations, because he is a very self-aware person. Later, when he met with me, I was surprised, and my assistants were also surprised. "

"We talked as we walked and talked for about half an hour. The outside world was always very interested in what we talked about during the half hour. In fact, it was very simple. In this process, Li was constantly breaking his image in my mind. ...However, in the end we came to an agreement."

"Lee may not be a qualified businessman, he's not as pragmatic as others, but he's an excellent strategist who knows what he needs to do when and is extremely decisive! If he finds himself doing This, it will be at any cost! It turns out that, although we did a very good business, we got rid of a burden of losing money for many years, we got a lot of relief, and we had a big one. The cash can go to rectify many of its factories, but the deal was negotiated, and Li got more things. It was far more than we imagined at the time, and my assistant reminded me! "

"I learned later that he was the kind of real leader. In his art empire, he rarely interfered with specific operations. He had Qi to do everything for him that he could not do, but he did everything for the entire company. The development of the company delineates the framework, sets the direction, and at the critical moment, what he says, Qi never object, he does not need to convince anyone, as long as he thinks it should be done, his friends will trust him without doubt, Follow him!"

"So, for $3.1 billion, we sold a rich gold mine! Ironically, we could actually sell it in two or three years, and we didn't even have to do anything in those two years. ... However, we didn't know it at the time."

On the morning of Tuesday, January 20, 2004, Eastern Time, the U.S. Department of Commerce formally approved Clear Lake Culture's acquisition of Columbia Pictures.

So far, the acquisition has been completely completed.

From the moment the U.S. Department of Commerce approved the acquisition contract, Columbia Pictures has completely become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Clear Lake Culture in a legal sense.

On the same day, Glenn Shire, the CEO of Columbia Pictures, held a press conference to announce his resignation as the CEO of Columbia Pictures.

He said that he was very reluctant to part with the reform, but at this time, he was not willing to wait for Minghu Culture to be accepted as a left-behind CEO. Therefore, he chose to resign and hope that Minghu Culture After entering Colombia, I was able to run the company well.

After the press conference, he calmly left the Columbia office building with his personal belongings packed under the supervision of relevant company personnel.

That afternoon, at a high-level meeting within the company, another resolute vice president announced his resignation. He was the one who strongly resisted the acquisition of Colombia by a Chinese company.

After the afternoon meeting, Columbia Pictures officially released news, saying that it had been decided at the company's high-level office meeting that the company's senior vice president David Emerge would be temporarily acting as the executive president to maintain the normal operation of the company and wait. The reception of Minghu culture.

For a time, the turmoil in Colombia attracted the attention of the United States.

Although they have been turbulent for many years in the past, the replacement frequency of senior managers is definitely the fastest among the seven major Hollywood film companies, but this time, after all, it is different from the past.

Columbia Pictures has changed owners.

Wednesday, January 21, 2004, morning.

Witnessed by countless reporters, cameras and camcorders, a Bentley stopped in front of the Columbia Film Company building, and Qi Jie, the general manager of Minghu Culture, officially stepped into the Columbia office building.

Before walking into the building, Qi Jie turned around and smiled and nodded at the reporters. On the same day and the next day, it made headlines in major American newspapers and online news platforms, and frequently appeared on many TV programs. After all, Minghu Culture, a Chinese company, has really come!

However, to the disappointment of the reporters and many people watching the excitement, Li Qian, who was standing behind Qi Jie when reporting the signing ceremony, seemed to disappear all of a sudden after the two sides completed the signing.

At such a ceremonial and historical moment, he, as the real master of Minghu Culture, did not appear in front of the Columbia office building with China Qi and walked in together.

In the morning, it is said that China Qi participated in the internal high-level meeting of Columbia Pictures. In the afternoon, Columbia officially held a press conference, and Qi Jie appeared on the podium of the conference.

She announced three things:

First, Minghu Culture has officially declared its takeover of Colombia;

Second, the current management structure and management personnel within Columbia Pictures will not be changed;

Third, within three years, Minghu Culture will not conduct any large-scale asset splits, layoffs or salary reductions for Columbia Pictures, and all focus on maintaining the stability and normal operation of the company.

However, Qi Jie did not give any plan for the change of the company's top management, which was widely concerned by the outside world. Even after announcing the three events, she did not accept the reporter's question, and gave up the microphone directly. After a few brief remarks from the company's acting CEO, David Emerge, the press conference was announced.

The outside world gave an interpretation. Minghu Culture acquiesced in the position of acting CEO of David Emerge, and acquiesced that he would continue to handle the daily affairs of the company before Minghu Culture officially completed the overall takeover of Columbia. Taking off the word "agent" and officially taking over the company, David Emerge obviously needs to go through a period of investigation.

Moreover, the American press generally speculates that Minghu Culture should send two to three Chinese people to enter Colombia's senior management to supervise the operation of the company and represent the will of the parent company Minghu Culture to supervise the parent company's intention to obtain accurate and accurate Implementation without discount.

In addition, it is widely speculated that the Hollywood producer John Days, who has been very close to Minghu Culture and has almost become the spokesperson of Minghu Culture in the Western world, may be on the rise.

However, these questions have not yet been answered.

However, just that afternoon, the ubiquitous paparazzi in Hollywood had already discovered Li Qian's trace. Together with Liao Liao, he appeared leisurely in a restaurant in Los Angeles for dinner.

And after Qi Jie left the Columbia office building that afternoon, he drove back to the mansion that Liao Liao bought in Los Angeles.

There were at least dozens of paparazzi waiting outside the mansion all night.

They didn't invite any guests that night.

…………

After dinner, Liao Liao huddled on the sofa and looked at the two people over there.

Li Qian and Qi Jie each held a thick stack of documents in their hands.

The development of the company in the past five years has been sorted out, which is very important. The past history can allow Li Qian and Qi Jie to interpret the company as accurately as possible, and help them in the future. The development direction set by the company and try to avoid oversights and mistakes.

At the same time, there are more than a dozen personal resumes and extremely detailed information.

From executives, vice presidents, and other senior executives of the company in the past five years, to those who were considered eligible for entry into Columbia's management and therefore listed as candidates, the details of each individual, where they are in What decisions have been made in the past few years and the effects are all in the hands of Li Qian and Qi Jie.

And in fact, they have been reading these materials since half a month ago.

Now that the acquisition has been officially completed, the next step is to spend time and energy to truly control the company. It is obviously impossible to just buy it, but not listen to the tune.

As we all know, the personnel problem is the most difficult and the most important problem.

The first point is that they have to pick a suitable helm for Columbia Pictures as soon as possible. It has to be someone from Hollywood, has to be familiar with the way Hollywood and the US play, and preferably has some knowledge of Colombia.

Even if the candidate selected this time is only a transitional figure, his importance cannot be overestimated. Colombia must not enter a long period of turmoil!

Otherwise, if the personnel and management continue to be turbulent, unable to keep up with each step, even if Minghu Culture can carry out a certain amount of blood transfusion for them in the future, it will not be able to withstand such management turmoil. And Li Qian absolutely did not allow himself to spend so much money to buy Colombia, but he sat and watched the company continue to decline, and even was directly expelled from the top seven in Hollywood!

Then this acquisition that shocked China and the United States will become a laughing stock.

Of course, Liao Liao felt bored seeing them constantly flipping through the materials there.

After a full 20 to 30 minutes, after reviewing all the information on hand, Qi Jie finally spoke, and the first one said: "John Dyce is not suitable. He can be the spokesperson of Minghu Culture in Hollywood, and he can be in charge of Oriental Dream. A film company, but he's not fit to represent the Clear Lake culture in Colombia."

Li Qian pursed his lips and nodded slowly.

-->>, update the latest chapter of Perfect Life as soon as possible!

This is the first person Qi Jie killed, although this person has contributed a lot to this acquisition, and he definitely meets many selection conditions.

For example, he is familiar with Hollywood, he knows the operating rules of Hollywood, and it is not difficult for him to be familiar with Columbia.

But Li Qian still nodded.

He really wasn't quite right.

He may be a very qualified or even an excellent producer. He is also very capable when it comes to distribution and negotiation. However, let him be in charge of such a large film company, especially when it is still in turmoil. In the film company, he seems to be a little lacking in ability and experience, and it is estimated that he is also a little worse.

Fortunately, it is not difficult to deny him, and he has stated before that he is not qualified to take charge of Colombia, and he even recommended another person.

Later, Li Qian asked, "Where's David Emerge?"

Qi Jie was a little hesitant to hear that.

During the acquisition, David Emerge, as the senior vice president of Columbia, although his attitude was ambiguous, he never publicly said anything against the acquisition of Minghu Culture. Instead, he praised Li Qian personally, and went to the company to talk to him in the morning. , you can also feel that he is not disgusted with the acquisition of Colombia, and he is also friendly to the Minghu culture from China.

This is a person who can cooperate. At present, for Minghu Culture, if you want to integrate into the Hollywood circle, as long as you are not disgusted with Minghu Culture, you can cooperate.

And, John Days highly recommends David Emerge.

As a person who has a deep understanding of Hollywood, John Days himself may not be suitable to serve as the CEO of Columbia, but his suggestions for this candidate are still very useful.

What's more, he is now the acting CEO of Columbia, so he can take advantage of the situation and get rid of the word "agent". For Minghu Culture, it is a personnel change plan with the least pressure.

But Qi Jie was still hesitant.

After a while, she said: "According to past information, David Emerge is a conservative person."

Li Qian was silent, just nodded slowly.

After a pause, Qi Jie said again: "Also, when Grenshire was the CEO in the past, Grenshire was a staunch reformer, and what David Emerge did was to use a slightly conservative The plan is to neutralize the aggressiveness of Grenshire. So, it may not be necessary to let him temporarily serve as the CEO, but in the long run, I remember you said, we need time. The reason for the quick knife at any cost Isn't it just to buy time to get the Columbia side smooth? If David Emerge is the CEO, maybe the company can stabilize quickly, but I think it is difficult to make any progress and change."

Li Qian nodded again.

This is exactly what he is deeply concerned about.

John Days didn't know what he was thinking, so when recommending David Emerge, he repeatedly emphasized that David Emerge can bring Colombia the most important "stability" at this stage.

But what Li Qian needs is moderate stability and non-turbulence, but it is by no means a conservative and stable Colombian like David Emerge, which has been losing money for more than ten years. Is it possible to continue to lose money steadily?

Yet he was also hesitant: David Emerge was indeed the least expensive and least turbulent candidate known so far.

It's just not suitable enough.

Qi Jie looked at Li Qian and said, "Or, let him do this first, 'agent' for a while? Then, let's choose slowly? When will we find a suitable candidate and replace him? "

Li Qian shook his head firmly.

Immediately, he stood up and walked around in the huge living room, just like his face when the acquisition was blocked, and he was silent.

At this time, Qi Jie stopped talking.

In her heart, Li Qian is such a person: He has a firm goal and will never compromise. He will completely throw away a lot of things to himself, and have 100% absolute trust in himself. But at some point, when something is so important that he feels that he has been crushed and can't stand up, he will always find it at the first time, and then immediately take over the heavy burden.

And, he would make a quick decision after a period of silence.

There may be some sacrifices, and it may not be perfect, but as soon as his decision is made, the burden on his shoulders will be lifted immediately. In fact, the past few decisions have finally proved that he is right.

For example, when I was just starting out, I was a little hesitant in the face of Huage Records crossing the river and demolishing bridges, and facing a behemoth like Huage Records. I didn’t know how to express my anger, but Li Qian gave a firm direction: he Since he despised me, then give him a good look!

Another example is the recent acquisition.

Three. Colombia, will still make them big.

It's just that she herself doesn't have the courage to make this determination and give that price to make a final decision.

And now, it seems that time has come again.

John Dyce was killed by himself and Li Qian together. Now, David Emerge feels reluctantly suitable, at least as a transitional candidate, it should be considered suitable.

But Li Qian seems to have killed him.

Despite John Days' repeated recommendation, it was useless.

There are considerations in his heart that others do not know and cannot understand.

Two or three minutes later, Li Qian sat back and looked at the documents again. Qi Jie leaned over slightly, and saw that what he saw was not the analysis and resume of one of them, but the administrative analysis of the company over the past few years.

After a full ten minutes, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Qi Jie, "What do you think of Grenshire?"

Qi Jie was surprised.

Grenshire was very firmly opposed to the acquisition of Minghu Culture, and even a little disgusted, so he announced his resignation as soon as the acquisition was approved by the U.S. Department of Commerce.

This is a person who has a certain hostility to Minghu culture.

He was not even included in the candidate candidates for the CEO at all, and Qi Jie did not have his detailed information.

At this time, Qi Jie thought for a while after hearing the words, and said, "He was the person selected by Coca-Cola back then, and he was not friendly to us."

Li Qian pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "It doesn't matter!"

After a pause, he said, "I want to visit him tomorrow, and I plan to invite him to China to see the complete set of 3D technology that we are about to take shape!"

Qi Jie was more and more surprised.

3D technology has always been a high-level secret within Minghu Culture. Before that, even the interior was only allowed to be visited and understood at a very high level and within a very small range.

However, at this time, Li Qian said with a smile: "From the policy direction since taking office, his transformation plan for Colombia, to the several production plans he personally presided over, I think this Glennshire is a discerning person. He knew what was wrong with Colombia, and he had a plan that felt like a no-brainer."

"Even, I think he has participated in several productions led by him, and I think he has grasped the market very accurately. If I expect it to be good, it should not be too bad when the films are released one after another this year!"

"It's just that he needs time, and we suddenly launched the acquisition, which should have disrupted his plan and made him a little too angry!"

Speaking of which, he seemed to become firmer, "Apart from being a little too anxious, his personality seems to be a little resolute, and he seems to be lacking some of the smoothness of being a senior leader... Well, yes, that's him. ...he's a very fitting man at the helm."

Qi Jie looked at him with some hesitation, "So...you plan to convince him, who is disgusted with our acquisition of Colombia, to take charge of Colombia?"

Li Qian laughed when he heard the words, "So what!"

"I give him money, I give him time, I give him power!"

At this time, Liao Liao, who was sitting on the sofa next to him and felt that he was about to fall asleep, suddenly interjected, "Tsk tsk" twice, with an exaggerated expression, "Husband, you are so bold!"

Qi Jie glanced at her with disgust.

Li Qian laughed, "Stop doing this!"

Liao Liao stood up ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and said, "So, is this the end of your discussion?"

Qi Jie put away the contempt on her face, thought for a while, and said, "If he doesn't see you at all, or if he is really disgusted with us, even if he has seen our 3D technology, he still refuses, and even he doesn't. I don't agree with your ideas, and I'm not optimistic about the future of 3D movies... What should I do?"

Li Qian pursed his lips when he heard the words, thought about it, and said firmly: "Judging from what he has done in the past few years, he is a person who is determined to forge ahead. He has always been. So I think... No!"

Qi Jie shrugged and looked at Liao Liao.

Liao Liao laughed, "He's so self-confident!"

Qi Jie also laughed when she heard the words, and then she stood up and said, "Okay, I agree."

Liao Liao snapped his fingers, "Yeah! It's finally over, then, how do we sleep next?"
