Lu Tianyu finally changed his tone after hearing this: "Director Zhu, don't be impulsive. I'm just discussing the matter as it is. I don't mean anything against you. I highly recognize your ability, otherwise I wouldn't have handed over the entire Tianyu to your management."
"If Mr. Lu really recognized me, he would not question my decision, nor would he directly command the Propaganda Department to publicize the voting for "Fairy Sword" behind my back," Zhu Xu said.
"It's up to me. I should discuss it with you first." Lu Tianyu said.
"It is no longer a matter of discussion or not. Mr. Lu may not know that because Mr. Lu was procrastinating on the dry shares before and was not straightforward, Wang Xuan was already very unhappy and clearly told me that there was no need to talk about the dry shares. It also meant that It seems that he has already had the idea of leaving the company... I originally wanted to save him and use my feelings to keep him, but as a result, Mr. Lu came directly to do this, and now all my feelings were useless. Because Wang Xuan had clearly told him, Don't publicize this matter, he doesn't want to betray the expectations of the people."
"Don't worry, Wang Xuan will not leave the company." Lu Tianyu said confidently.
"No? How can Mr. Lu be so confident that Wang Xuan will not leave the company? I was just chatting with Wang Xuan below. Wang Xuan has clearly expressed his intention to leave the company, but he also said that he still has one and a half years on his contract. , Within this year and a half, he will help Tianyu if he needs anything. As a result, when Mr. Lu came, Wang Xuan directly stated that he would not stay for another year and a half." Zhu Xu was speechless.
"Because Tianyu will be on the market soon." Lu Tianyu said, with pride in his tone.
"Listed?" Zhu Xu was stunned.
"Yes, it's going public. In fact, I directed the publicity department to promote "Fairy Sword" to prepare for its listing. Once "Fairy Sword" wins the award, it will bring a wave of popularity and reputation to Tianyu, which will be the best moment for Tianyu to go public. Tianyu will be a listed company by then. If we give Wang Xuan another 8% of the shares, will he leave Tianyu? Absolutely not. How much is the market value of 8% of the shares?"
"Mr. Lu, you take it too much for granted. As far as I know about Wang Xuan, he is not a person who values market value, he cares more about respect. Once he feels that he is not respected, let alone 8% of the shares. Even 20% of the shares cannot be retained. Another question, does Mr. Lu think that Tianyu now meets the conditions for listing? I don’t mean hard conditions. "
"Why are you not satisfied? Tianyu has been in a period of rapid development recently. We have maintained profits every year in the past three years, and the financial statements have been rising year by year. The financial statements are very good. The year before last, our company made a profit of 500 million, and last year, our company made a profit of 800 million , we have made a profit of 1.5 billion so far this year.
The most important thing is that the quality of our big-name artists in Tianyu is not bad. We originally had one actor in the film industry, two first-tier celebrities, three second-tier celebrities, and two top screenwriters. This year the music scene has exploded again. There has been a king of singers, two first-tier singers, two quasi-first-tier singers, two popular second-tier singers, plus two top songwriters. Doesn’t these conditions satisfy the listing requirements?
I would say that now is definitely the best time for Tianyu to go public. Once Tianyu is successfully listed, we will need money and people. We can expand aggressively and attack the giants. It will not be a problem at all. "Lu Tianyu said a little excitedly.
"Well, another one who wants to go public is crazy." Zhu Xu thought to himself.
Lu Tianyu may think that listing is a good thing, but he doesn't know that listing without a foundation is like a castle in the air and can easily collapse. There are many bankrupt listed companies.
Anyway, in Zhu Xu's view, Tianyu definitely does not have the foundation to go public now. According to this year's development trend, it will be more or less in another two or three years. And in laying the foundation, Wang Xuan, a top composer, is indispensable.
Give Wang Xuan two or three years, and Tianyu will probably have several singing kings and queens. At that time, Tianyu will have the best time to go public.
It's a pity that Lu Tianyu is too eager for quick success. He directly put Wang Xuan on the fire, completely ignoring Wang Xuan's feelings. Now, Wang Xuan will not stay in Tianyu for long, and Tianyu has also lost the greatest confidence to go public.
"Where did these two top songwriters come from?" Zhu Xu asked.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you that I have contacted a top composer and given him 8% of the shares, and he has agreed to join Tianyu." Lu Tianyu said.
"I don't understand this. For Wang Xuan, a great hero who has made countless contributions to Tianyu, Mr. Lu is unwilling to give 8% of the shares, but for a top outside composer, Mr. Lu gives 8% The dry stock is given simply, what’s the reason?”
"Can it be the same? Do you know who the top songwriter who joined our Tianyu is? Zhuang Ye, the second-ranked among the top songwriters, isn't he worthy of 8% of the shares?" Lu Tianyu asked in return.
"If Zhuangye is worth 8% of the shares, the question arises again. In Mr. Lu's eyes, is Wang Xuan not as good as Zhuangye?" Zhu Xu asked.
"Isn't this obvious? I know Wang Xuan is very powerful, but Zhuang is also ranked second among Qu's fathers. Can Wang Xuan compare?"
"You want Zhuang Ye to try to dominate the new song chart for several months in a row?"
"If Zhuang Ye wants to dominate the rankings, he can still do it. Isn't Yuezhuang dominating the rankings this time? This is a battle of gods where all the gods gather. Isn't it more valuable than the few months when Wang Xuan dominated the rankings? Wang Xuan's Didn’t Yue only get third and fourth?”
"It seems that our cognitive bias is very big. Forget it, let's not talk about it, Mr. Lu, thank you for taking care of me over the years, and I wish Tianyu a bright future and prosperity." Zhu Xu said.
"What do you mean? Director Zhu, do you really plan to resign?"
"yes."
"Why? Just because of Wang Xuan? Isn't it necessary? We have worked together for so many years, can't we still compare to Wang Xuan?"
"I have already said the reason. There has been a big deviation in our cognition. In my opinion, two Zhuangs are not as good as one Wang Xuan, but in your eyes, Wang Xuan is not as good as Zhuang Ye. In this case , it is better to part ways now to avoid any unpleasantness in the future." Zhu Xu said.
"No, no, this kind of situation will not happen. I will not interfere in Tianyu's affairs. You have the final say in Tianyu's affairs." Lu Tianyu quickly expressed his position, because he understood that Zhu Xu played an important role in making Tianyu what it is today. Zhu Xu is definitely a qualified boss, the kind who can make him feel at ease as the boss.
"The question is, didn't you interfere this time? Mr. Lu, actually I don't mind your interference in Tianyu's affairs, because you are Tianyu's boss and general manager of Tianyu, and you should control the entire Tianyu. But at least you can discuss it with me Come on, or give me a call. Do you know how passive you make me now?" Zhu Xu said.
"It's my fault. Director Zhu, I will try not to interfere with Tianyu's affairs in the future. If I have any ideas, I will discuss it with you in advance. Don't you think Wang Xuan is better than Zhuang? That's okay. I can give him 10% of the work." Stock. Look..."
"Let me think about it." Zhu Xu said, sighing in his heart.
He understands that when things have developed to this point, Wang Xuan's fate can no longer be decided by 10% of the shares.
In fact, even at this time, Lu Tianyu still didn't pay enough attention to Wang Xuan. He actually thought that if Wang Xuan was given 10% of the shares, Wang Xuan would be willing to stay. Little did he know that as soon as there was news that Wang Xuan was leaving Tianyu, some companies would be willing to provide Wang Xuan with generous benefits.
What does 10% of dry shares count? 15% or 20% dry shares are possible.
However, after Lu Tianyu said this, it was hard for him to resign. After all, Lu Tianyu showed respect to him. The main thing is still reluctant to give up. Tianyu can be where he is today because he has put in a lot of hard work.
Lu Tianyu was slightly relieved after hearing this. In order to express the importance he attached to Zhu Xu, he proposed to add dry shares to Zhu Xu. The original 10% dry shares were now raised to 12%.
"No need, I've already taken enough." Zhu Xu shook his head and said.
After bidding farewell to Lu Tianyu, Zhu Xu returned to Wang Xuan's office, only to find that Li Tao was the only one left in Wang Xuan's office.
"Where's Brother Xuan?" Zhu Xu asked.
"Say hello to me and then go back. How was it? Did Mr. Lu intervene?" Li Tao asked.
"Yes." Zhu Xu nodded, and then told the whole story.
"...Confused! Mr. Lu is such an old fool! Is he crazy about wanting to go public? Tianyu is definitely not qualified to go public now and can easily be tricked to death by capital." Li Tao said.
"I think so too. The risks in the stock market are very high, not only for investors, but also for listed companies. As long as capital is maliciously manipulated, as long as investors are led to lose confidence in listed companies and sell frantically, capital will take the opportunity to acquire , this company can easily be destroyed.
For an entertainment company like Tianyu, the source of investor confidence is undoubtedly the number of big-name artists Tianyu has and its foundation in the music and film circles. With all due respect, Tianyu is still very weak in this regard and cannot support the confidence of investors at all. "Zhu Xu said.
"One more thing, let alone launching domestic fan voting, whether "Fairy Sword" can win the award, nor whether it is the best time for Tianyu to go public after "Fairy Sword" wins the award, just for "Fairy Sword" Winning the award but losing Wang Xuan, a top composer, Tianyu's loss is immeasurable." Li Tao added.
"Lao Li, you have the most contact with Brother Xuan. Do you think it is possible for us to keep Brother Xuan?" Zhu Xu asked.
“It’s difficult, almost impossible.
Let’s not talk about Brother Xuan’s original dissatisfaction with Mr. Lu because of the stock issue. Although Brother Xuan is usually very easy-going and looks harmless to humans and animals, in fact he has a very strong personality and is the kind of person who speaks his mind in a more serious manner.
He told me very seriously that "Fairy Sword" must not be promoted in China because he did not want to bear too many expectations of the Chinese people, so this matter must not be done. As a result, the boss directly promoted it and talked to Brother Xuan Go against it. How can you save it? "
"It seems impossible. Hey." Zhu Xu sighed, suddenly very tired.
