Hollywood Lover Chapter 237

Zhang Dongcheng can issue orders as a superior and take charge of the general direction of the company, but it is impossible to cover all aspects of specific work, and it is difficult to be competent like that.

Buying the TV station is not just Zhang Dongcheng's whim, but with the gradual development of Dongcheng Pictures, even if he doesn't buy it now, he will buy it sooner or later.

Thinking about it, Zhang Dongcheng, who likes to put everything in front of him, now that he meets his favorite company, he will naturally not let it go.

"Mr. Blaise, if we want you to continue to manage ZDC TV after we acquire it, what would you like?" Zhang Dongcheng put down the cup in his hand and asked Blaze.

Blaise looked happy, then looked at Zhang Dongcheng suspiciously, his eyes full of suspicion. "Mr. Smith, I think I may have misheard something just now, you..."

"No!" Zhang Dongcheng interrupted him, and said with an unusually serious attitude: "You didn't hear anything wrong. What I said just now was indeed to let you continue to run the TV station. The difference from now is that at that time you Just the general manager of ZDC TV station! Not the boss!"

"This!" Blaise's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief: "Mr. Smith, you mean, let me continue to manage the TV station, and won't change the name of this TV station?"

In addition to representing a brand, the name is also a kind of sustenance for Blaise. His father, who thought he owned such a TV station after years of hard work with bare hands. In this regard, Blaise certainly hoped that Zhang Dongcheng would not change his name after he bought it.

But ZDC is really inconspicuous among countless TV stations in the United States. Since the other party wanted to start over, there was no reason for him to keep the name ZDC.

"Of course!" Zhang Dongcheng nodded affirmatively. With a smile on his face, he said: "Mr. Blaise, I don't know if you understand Chinese, but you should know that I am a Chinese. My Chinese name is Zhang Dongcheng, and ZDC happens to be my initials! I think It's a kind of fate, isn't it?"

Blaise was overjoyed, and said in a trembling voice: "Of course, this is definitely a kind of fate. Mr. Smith, as long as you don't change the name of the TV station, then I will accept your offer!"

"Very good! Mr. Blaize, then first wish us a happy cooperation!" Zhang Dongcheng stood up with a smile, and extended a hand to Blaze.

Blaise grabbed Zhang Dongcheng's hand flatteredly. He shook it hard.

After the excitement eased a little bit, Blaise finally remembered that the price of the TV station has not been negotiated yet. He looked at Zhang Dongcheng with some embarrassment, and didn't know how to speak for a while, after all, Zhang Dongcheng gave him such a surprise just now!

"Mr. Blaize, I think we should talk about the price of the TV station now, shouldn't we?" Although he couldn't guess Blaize's thoughts, Zhang Dongcheng took the initiative to lead the topic to Blaze's most wanted result. .

"Yes!" Blaise nodded, with a serious expression, clearly dividing personal feelings and work. Said: "Mr. Smith, I think the price of 15.5 million is too little!"

"Oh?" Zhang Dongcheng looked at Blaise indifferently, and said, "Then what price does Mr. Blaise think is appropriate?"

"Nineteen million!"

"No!" Without waiting for Zhang Dongcheng to speak, Adaman said impatiently: "Mr. Blaise, your TV station is not as valuable as you imagined, nineteen million has exceeded its value! We are Sincerely want to cooperate, I hope you will not joke!"

"Mr. Adaman, I'm not joking!" Blaise shook his head.

Seeing Adaman's hostility towards Blaise, he even felt a sense of tension. Zhang Dongcheng couldn't help shaking his head, Adaman is still too young, isn't this kind of acquisition in the mall just asking for a price and paying back the money?

"Mr. Blaise!" Zhang Dongcheng took over the conversation and said, "I agree with Adaman's opinion. We have already found a professional accountant to evaluate ZDC TV. It is not worth 19 million yuan! How about it, 16 million, if you agree, we can sign the contract now!"

"No! No! No!" Blaise shook his head and refused: "Mr. Smith, although some equipment of the TV station is indeed a bit outdated, this is a complete TV station. As long as you buy it, then tonight It can broadcast the program you want. It will undoubtedly save you a lot of trouble. Well, the favorite number of you Chinese seems to be eight, right? Then 18.8 million!"

"Mr. Blaise, in China, in addition to eight, six is also a very auspicious number. 16.6 million!"

Zhang Dongcheng and Blaise were like street vendors, bargaining for prices, stunned Adaman on the side. He never knew that his good buddy had such a side.

After a lot of verbal discussions, ZDC TV station was finally successfully acquired by Zhang Dongcheng at a price of 16.8 million.

However, Zhang Dongcheng also gave Blaise a 5% share dividend. And promised that he will still be the manager of ZDC TV station.

After the contract was signed, Blaise immediately changed his identity, and said respectfully to Zhang Dongcheng: "Mr. Smith, I don't know about the TV station. Do you have any ideas for reform?"

"Of course there is!" Zhang Dongcheng nodded. ZDC TV Station is like this. If it doesn't reform, is it going to go bankrupt? However, at this stage, his main focus is still on movies, especially Dark War and the Wachowski Brothers' The Matrix 2, and of course Huang Yiyu's Reaper.

As long as these three films are successful, Dongcheng Pictures will have a firm foothold in Hollywood. Don't look at Dongcheng Films' plan to come up with a short-term film investment plan. It looks like it's booming, but it's a castle built on the beach.

As long as one fails, it will be a storm that destroys everything! If these three films are as successful as Zhang Dongcheng expected, then the situation will completely change.

The foundation of Zhang Dongcheng is Dongcheng Films. Even if he now owns a TV station of his own, this will not change in any way. He clearly distinguishes the priority from the secondary.

"At this stage, my main focus is on movies, and I may not be able to worry about TV stations in a few months!" Zhang Dongcheng pondered, and asked Adaman next to him: "How much liquidity can we allocate now?" How many?"

"About fifty to sixty million!" Adaman silently calculated in his heart, and gave Zhang Dongcheng a vague number.

"In this way, transfer 10 million yuan to the TV station and give it to Mr. Blaise to replace some equipment in the TV station. Make sure the production level of the TV station reaches the current high-quality level!" Zhang Dongcheng paused, took a sip of coffee, Continued: "You know, sometimes no matter how good a show idea is, if the production is too poor, it still won't be able to retain the audience!"

"Okay!" Blaise looked excited. He had long wanted to replace those old antique equipment of the TV station. Unfortunately, the TV station was half dead, and the money came from there to replace the equipment, so he could only delay it like this.

The more it drags on, the worse the situation will be, and finally it will end up having to be sold now.

"What's the current price for a TV station's prime-time advertisement?" Zhang Dongcheng asked Blaise.

The main source of income for this kind of public TV station is the advertising and naming rights of popular programs. But thinking about the current situation of ZDC, one can understand that even the advertising fee during the prime time is a figure that is embarrassing to mention. Naming rights are even given away for free, and no one may ask for them.

"This..." Blaise's face flashed with embarrassment, and he said: "The TV station has received very few advertisements now, and there is only one advertisement for a western restaurant, which is this restaurant, and... the contract will expire soon. I used to I talked to the boss, and the other party is no longer planning to put an advertisement on our TV station!"

The corners of Zhang Dongcheng's mouth twitched, how poor this TV station must be, so that only one western restaurant puts in advertisements.

No wonder Blaize came so early, I'm afraid that apart from being anxious to sell the TV station, he must have been negotiating with the boss about advertising before!

"That's fine!" Zhang Dongcheng was relieved that he didn't have so many advertising contracts.

Anyway, he is ready to perform a major operation on the TV station. Apart from the unchanged personnel arrangement, ZDC's business will definitely flourish in the future. If there are too many advertising contracts at this stage, when the TV station becomes popular in the future, it will inevitably cause losses. .

"Huh?" Blaise was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief: "Mr. Smith. After the advertising contract of this western restaurant expires, our TV station will have no income at all!"

"I know!" Zhang Dongcheng frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "How about it. After you go back, start preparing to replace the TV station's equipment. After the western restaurant advertisement expires, don't renew the contract with other companies. When I'm done with this period of time, I will adjust the focus of my work to the TV station. At this stage, if it doesn't work, I will first broadcast the programs of other TV stations. The big deal is to pay some copyright fees. I will slowly find a way to raise the audience again! "

"Okay!" Anyway, the real boss of the TV station is Zhang Dongcheng now, so he can do whatever he wants. With this thought in mind, Blaise agreed without hesitation.

After leaving the western restaurant, Zhang Dongcheng and Adaman bid farewell to Blaise, got in the car and drove towards the company.

On the way, Adaman said dissatisfiedly: "Smith, you are in such a hurry to buy the TV station, do you want to let this TV station be so idle?"

Zhang Dongcheng laughed lightly when he heard the words, shook his head, and said, "Of course not! Adaman, do you still remember the script of the TV series I told you before?"
