America's Road To Fame Chapter 271

I don't know how Boss Ma “discussed with the board of directors” after he returned. Anyway, the cooperation between Alipay and Meta Technology in the field of payment technology began slowly.

Ivanta was not in the magic capital, and William Chen accompanied Nozomi Sasaki and Erica for two more days, until it was confirmed that there was indeed no follow-up to the earthquake in Japan and that it was safe to do so, before agreeing to let the two return to Tokyo.

Although he complained that William Chen was too unreasonable, his attitude still made them sweet.

According to the feedback from William Chen's team in Japan, they have already started contact with the Abex Group and made an offer to acquire Aihui Records. The other party's response was quite positive, so Erica was also eager Would like to go to Tokyo to participate in the negotiation of this acquisition.

This is the first time Erica has negotiated an acquisition independently, and Aihui Records is the largest record company in Asia, so she can't help but take it seriously.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang, nice to meet you."

Today, William Chen saw a headhunter recommending a candidate for the CEO of Meta (Asia) Entertainment and Media Company for himself. Seeing a middle-aged man with some determination and elegance in front of him, William Chen flashed his information in his mind.

Zhang Zhao, born in 1963, is now 47 years old. He graduated from Aurora University with a bachelor's degree in information science and a master's degree in philosophy. He and Chen William are also alumni. During his time in the United States, his works have won many awards, and he is a very talented person.

After returning to China, Zhang Zhao once joined the Shanghai Film Group, and also served as the vice president of the Viewpoint Communication Company under the Huaxin Office, responsible for cooperating with more than a dozen television stations in the United States to produce and broadcast documentaries about China.

After that, he joined Enlight Media, and then personally founded Enlight Pictures and served as the president. Up to now, he has worked in Enlight Pictures for four years, producing and releasing more than 20 commercial films, maintaining a 100% growth rate for four consecutive years, which is called "Light Speed" by the industry.

Looking at his past resume, it is very in line with William Chen's requirements for the CEO of Meta (Asia) Entertainment and Media Company.

After the conversation, William Chen knew that Zhang Zhao had intended to leave Enlight Pictures recently, because he thought that his current position was not too challenging. According to his original idea, he hoped to be able to start his own business, but also At this time, he received an invitation from the headhunting company for the position of CEO of William Chen's Meta (Asia) Entertainment and Media Company, so he decided to come here first.

However, since he was willing to see Chen William, it showed that he was still interested in this position. During the conversation, Zhang Zhao asked directly:

"I don't know what the goal of this position is. What resources and permissions can I get?"

"Meta (Asia) Entertainment Media Company, as the name suggests, is a media company targeting the Asian market, not only the Chinese market, but also the Japanese, South Korean and Southeast Asian markets. It will cover all entertainment industries. I hope to open up the entire industry. Downstream, through cooperation to launch entertainment products for the Asian market. I will give you the greatest trust, you can use the resources of the entire Meta Group and sufficient funds, there is only one goal, that is to become the No. 1 entertainment media company in Asia.'

Hearing Chen William's remarks, Zhang Zhao was not enthusiastic. Indeed, at his age, he would look at things more calmly. He asked:

"I know that under Mr. William's Meta Entertainment Media, the EMI Music Group, which has just been acquired, has been moving frequently. Now it has acquired Gold Gale and merged with Warner Music's Asian company to become EMI Music (Asia). I don't know if it is in Asia. In terms of business, will EMI (Asia) be led by EMI Music Group, or will Meta (Asia) Entertainment Media be led?"

"EMI Music (Asia) will operate relatively independently in the EMI Music Group, because there are still differences between Asian music and European and American music markets. As for Meta (Asia) Entertainment and Media Company, in theory, it is for EMI Music. (Asia) has leadership. But as to whether this leadership will become a reality, it depends on whether the CEO of Meta (Asia) Media Company can be recognized by EMI Music (Asia). I believe that if Mr. Zhang is in this position , will have a deeper understanding of my words, there will be disagreements at work, but I will only see whether the results are beneficial to the future of the entire group, and make a choice to support which side, if you can sit on these, you will definitely get my support."

Zhang Zhao thought for a moment and asked:

"There is one last question, Mr. William, according to the Meta (Asia) entertainment media company you mentioned, the companies we currently hold in the film and television industry include Huayi Company, Enlight Media and Huace Film and Television, but although these shares are held There are quite a few, and they can have a certain influence on these companies, but they are not many and cannot be effectively controlled, so how can we participate in the production and distribution in the film and television industry in the future?"

"The purpose of Meta (Asia) Entertainment Media Company is to invest in the entire entertainment industry, not just limited to the film and television industry. As for the issue you mentioned, it is not convenient for us to directly acquire film and television companies, but we can To control, for example, we can make additional investment in Huace Film and Television, and keep the shareholding at the upper limit of 49%, but Ms. Fan Shuiyong's voting rights will belong to us, so we can control the company in fact, so if you want to have A film and television company with effective control can start with Huace Film and Television.”

At present, Huaguo allows foreign investment in the film and television production industry, but it limits the direct shareholding of foreign capital to 49%. Therefore, as Chen William said, it is impossible to directly acquire domestic film and television companies in Huaguo, but through common interests, Still able to maintain effective control over film and television companies.

It's like Fan Yongshui Studio currently holds 30% of Huace Film and Television, and if Meta (Asia) Entertainment Media Company continues to invest additionally in Huace Film and Television to bring their shares to the top 49%, then add Fan Shuishui. The shares held will complete the actual holding of Huace Film and Television, and this film and television company will become a subsidiary company of Meta (Asia) Entertainment and Media Company.

This is also the purpose of Chen William's previous investment in Fan Shuishui Studio to bind the interests of the two, and then through Fan Shuishui Studio to invest in Huace Film and Television.

In this way, it is possible to bypass Huaguo's regulation that foreign ownership cannot exceed 50%, and achieve de facto control over the film and television company.

Of course, on the bright side, Huace Film and Television will not really become a subsidiary of Meta (Asia) Entertainment and Media Company, but the difference will not be too big. Because of many things, everyone knows that it is one thing, but if you are too blatant, do you really think that the relevant departments will not take good care of you?

Therefore, William Chen's consistent principle is that wherever he does business, he must respect the local rules and truly rely on his American identity.

After this conversation with Zhang Zhao, Zhang Zhao also accepted the position of CEO of Meta (Asia) Entertainment and Media Company with satisfaction. He will start to build the basic structure of the company with Magic Capital as the headquarters.

Now that he has accepted him, William Chen will also trust him, but he will still continue to observe the other party's actions in this position. Because through this conversation, William Chen was also a little worried that he would focus too much on the film and television industry.

If you just want to develop in the film and television industry, then it would be better to call Meta (Asia) Film and Television Company. Since it is an entertainment media company, then the target will be the entire entertainment industry and the media industry. During the conversation, William Chen also pointed to him It depends on what he will do after he takes office.

The reason why the headquarters of Meta (Asia) Entertainment and Media Company was chosen to be in Modu, in addition to being able to work in the TC Dongfang Building, is that, as William Chen told Zhang Zhao, Huace Film and Television, which is going to be included in this company first, is in the Near the magic capital, and the film and television base Yiyiheng store not far away, there is still a geographical advantage in film and television.

Of course, this is also related to some of his follow-up plans, which will be discussed later.
