Wang Xuan was stunned when he heard this.
Zhu Xu and Li Tao resign? Wang Xuan’s first reaction was fake news.
After two lifetimes and decades of experience, among all the people Wang Xuan knew or even knew, Zhu Xu and Li Tao were definitely top-notch in terms of their management ability and comprehensive ability in all aspects.
His original intention of joining Tianyu was just to lay eggs, but later he thought about taking root in Tianyu. The reason is that the existence of Zhu Xu and Li Tao made him feel comfortable staying in Tianyu. At the same time, it was also because of the existence of Zhu Xu and Li Tao that he felt that Tianyu had a bright future.
Unless the boss is a fool, who would be willing to let go of such a management?
When I think about it, isn't Lu Tianyu just an idiot? If this idiot Lu Tianyu hadn't been seeking death and challenging his bottom line, how could he have left Tianyu?
In addition, it was Chen Kai who said this, which makes it even more credible. Although Chen Kai usually made jokes, he would definitely not joke about this matter.
"Brother Xu and Brother Tao have resigned? I don't know!" Wang Xuan said.
"So you, you haven't contacted us since you left Tianyu. Your Brother Xu and Brother Tao have both left their jobs for more than ten days, okay? But I can't blame you completely. Tianhai is full of things to do. I think you must be very busy recently. Right?" Chen Kai said.
"I'm very busy. I'm so busy that I wish I could be used as two people. By the way, Brother Xu and Brother Tao are staying well in Tianyu. Why did they suddenly leave?" Wang Xuan asked.
"It has something to do with you, but you are only one of the reasons. There is another reason..." Chen Kai told the whole story.
"666666, Tianyu will be listed directly? Is Lu Tianyu such a fool?"
"Brother Xuan, are you not optimistic about Tianyu's direct listing?"
"Look at the hammer. With Tianyu's current foundation, IPO is barely possible, let alone direct listing. That is no different from seeking death. Lu Tianyu probably doesn't even know what direct listing means. Just watch, if Tianyu is really direct If it goes public, it won’t be long before it’s beaten to death by capital.”
"Go! Zhu Xu and Li Tao said so, and now you say so, but aren't my shares in danger? If Tianyu goes public, my dry shares can be converted into more than 70 million shares."
"When it first goes public, Tianyu's stock is expected to rise a lot. You can sell it directly. Anyway, there is no blackout period for direct listing."
"Isn't that a bit unethical?"
"It's up to you to decide. So aren't Brother Xu and Brother Tao doing anything now?"
"Definitely not. I thought they would contact you, but they didn't. It seems that the two of them may not be able to lose face."
"It's okay. Look, I'm going to catch them. You're still polite to me." Wang Xuan said and exchanged greetings with Chen Kai for a few words before hanging up the phone.
Now is not the time to chat, there are more important things waiting for him.
He had always wanted to dig Zhu Xu and Li Tao out of Tianhai, but he didn't take action because of moral issues.
Of course, there is another reason. Wang Xuan thinks that it is impossible for Zhu Xu and Li Tao to leave Tianyu. After all, Tianyu is the place where they have worked hard for nearly ten years.
Who thought Lu Tianyu could be such an idiot? Even managers like Zhu Xu and Li Tao were willing to let go.
But that's fine. Now that Zhu Xu and Li Tao are both free agents, he won't have to bear moral condemnation or feel bad if he invites Zhu Xu and Li Tao to join Tianhai.
So, thank you idiot Lu Tianyu! I gave him such a comfortable pillow just after he fell asleep.
However, Weng Qiuping is still temporarily acting as the director after all, so before contacting Zhu Xu and Li Tao, Wang Xuan first found Weng Qiuping.
"Mr. Weng, I have found the candidates for the director and the head of the artist department, but..." Wang Xuan hesitated.
"It's okay. Mr. Wang, I understand what you mean. Are you worried that I will be uncomfortable? There is no need for that. I said when you asked me to be the director before, I will only take the position of director temporarily. As long as you find I will give up my position to the right candidate. The main reason is that I am getting older and my energy cannot keep up. During this period of time, I feel a little powerless. It will definitely not work in the long term.
Another thing, when I handed over Tianhai to you, it was for the purpose of relaxing and retiring. Now if I still serve as the director of Tianhai and work exhaustingly every day, why should I? Weng Qiuping said with a smile.
"Okay." Wang Xuan nodded, knowing that Weng Qiuping was telling the truth.
Comparing one's feelings with others, if Wang Xuan was asked to give his company to others and then hold an important position in the company, Wang Xuan would not be willing to worry about this and that. Why bother?
"But I'm a little curious, who is the candidate Mr. Wang mentioned?" Weng Qiuping asked.
"Zhu Xu and Li Tao. I think Mr. Weng should know who these two are. No need for me to introduce them, right?"
"No need." Weng Qiuping nodded. He naturally knew who Zhu Xu and Li Tao were. It should be said that as long as they were in the circle, I believe there were not many people who didn't know who Zhu Xu and Li Tao were.
After all, there are only a few first-class entertainment companies in the entertainment industry, such as Dingsheng, Dynasty, Tianyu, Morning Star, the former Tianhai, and now the Guangguang... Zhu Xu and Li Tao, as directors and heads of the music department of Tianyu Entertainment, The reputation in the industry is not small.
"Is Mr. Wang planning to recruit Zhu Xu and Li Tao here?" Weng Qiuping asked. He didn't know that Zhu Xu and Li Tao had resigned. He thought Wang Xuan had a good relationship with these two people and planned to recruit them here. .
"There is no need to dig. Zhu Xu and Li Tao have resigned and are free agents. Just invite them to join." Wang Xuan said.
"Resign? Is Lu Tianyu stupid? You are actually willing to let them go?"
"Whatever. Does Mr. Weng think Zhu Xu and Li Tao are suitable candidates?"
"It's appropriate, it's not appropriate. How can I say that Lu Tianyu is stupid? Zhu Xu and Li Tao are very capable. They have contributed a lot to Tianyu's success today. If you find them, I can really rest. By the way, Wang Boss, Weng Yong hasn’t caused you any trouble during this time, has he?”
"No. A Yong is quite good. He has a flexible mind and does things neatly. He is a malleable talent." In fact, Wang Xuan is younger than Weng Yong, but Wang Xuan's achievements are so high that people will subconsciously ignore his age. .
"Then please give Mr. Wang a heads up."
"I will. I plan to let Ayong train with me for a while first. When I feel that he can take charge of his own business, I will transfer him to a position of real power and assume an important position." Wang Xuan said.
"Um."
After communicating with Weng Qiuping, Wang Xuan went to Li Tao's house.
When he saw Wang Xuan, Li Tao was stunned: "Brother Xuan, why are you here?"
"What? You're not welcome?" Wang Xuan made a joke.
"No way! I'm just surprised that you shouldn't be very busy now? Why do you have time to come here?" Li Tao said.
"You know I'm busy, but you still can't bear to come and help me? Brother Tao, you are not interesting enough, you are really not interesting enough. Fortunately, I came to see you as soon as I knew you resigned."
"...No, Brother Xuan, how did you know that I resigned?"
"Is that the point? The point is that you resigned and didn't come to help me!"
"You can't blame me. I actually wanted to join you. After all, partnering with you saves me trouble and effort, and I'm even more motivated. But aren't you, Brother Xu, hesitating? When I first entered the industry, Brother Xu gave me a lot of help. I can't leave him alone to join you, can I?" Li Tao explained.
"What are you hesitating about, Brother Xu?"
"I don't know. When I suggested that I go with him to seek refuge with you, I felt that he was attracted by it, but in the end he said that he would think about it, and nothing happened until now. Otherwise, why don't you go over and talk to him in person? As long as you If I can handle Brother Xu, I have no problem."
"That's what I mean. Let's go there together?"
"good!"
When Wang Xuan and Li Tao met Zhu Xu, Zhu Xu was pruning in his garden, just like a gardener.
Wang Xuan was delighted: "Brother Xu, are you planning to retire to the mountains and forests?"
Hearing Wang Xuan's voice, Zhu Xu was stunned. He turned around and saw Wang Xuan and Zhu Xu standing there with smiles: "Brother Xuan, why are you here? Wait for me." After saying that, he put down the apron, scissors, etc. Well, after tidying up his clothes, he welcomed Wang Xuan and Li Tao into his study.
The three of them sat down, and Li Tao consciously acted as a tea master, making tea and pouring tea for the three of them.
Wang Xuanze and Zhu Xu chatted about business.
Since he was already very familiar with it, Wang Xuan did not beat around the bush and directly stated his intention: "Brother Xu, Tianhai is full of waste and work. I really can't handle it alone and I really need help, so I want to ask you to come and help me."
"Isn't there Weng Qiuping? Weng Qiuping used to be a gold medal agent. He is very capable and should be able to help you. If it doesn't work, you can also ask your Brother Tao to help you. Weng Qiuping and you, Brother Tao, should be able to help you. It’s enough for the sky and the sea to move." Zhu Xu said.
"Not enough, far from enough! Mr. Weng is indeed very capable. He has been doing a lot of things recently, but he is not young anymore. He can be busy in a short time, but certainly not in the long term.
What's more, Tianyu is currently very short of people, especially in senior management. The director, the head of the artist department, the head of the film and television department, and the head of the music department are all vacant. Even if Weng Qiuping can help for a long time, even adding Brother Tao will not be enough! "Wang Xuan said.
"No. As far as I know, isn't Tianhai's current director Weng Qiuping? Why do you say it's vacant?" Zhu Xu asked.
"You said this, Mr. Weng is only a temporary director. When Mr. Weng handed over Tianhai to me, he was aiming for retirement. Now the temporary director position is really because no one is available in Tianhai. It's just a last resort. Anyway, as long as I have a suitable candidate, he will give up his position and then do nothing but get dividends." Wang Xuan explained.
"So what position do you want me to take?" Zhu Xu asked.
"Director, the annual salary is tens of millions plus 8% of the shares."
"What about me? Brother Xuan, if I go to Tianhai, what position do you plan to put me in?" Li Tao interjected.
"Head of the artist department, annual salary of tens of millions plus 6% of the shares."
"Wow, that sounds good."
"Actually, I want to give you more positions, but there will be many positions that will be needed in the future, such as the head of the film and television department, the head of the music department, top composers, top directors, kings of singers, queens of movies, and international superstars. All of these require shares. And I must ensure Tianhai’s absolute controlling interest, so..."
"Brother Xuan, you don't need to explain so much, I understand. If I join Tianhai, you don't have to give me 8% of the shares, just give me 6%. The directors of giant companies in the industry also have about 6% of the shares. .
Another point is that kings of singers, queens of movies, and queens of movies do not need to be given shares. When the time comes, they will be allowed to rely on the company to open personal studios. But international superstars, top composers, and top directors will definitely give shares. "Zhu Xu said.
Otherwise, Zhu Xu is definitely the right-hand man that any company boss wants. Without even joining Tianhai, he solved a problem for Wang Xuan.
During this period, Wang Xuan has actually been worrying about Tianhai's dry stock allocation.
First of all, in order to control Tianyu, Wang Xuan must guarantee more than 50% of the dry shares.
Lu Tianyu also holds more than 50% of the dry shares of Tianyu Entertainment, but unlike Tianyu Entertainment, Weng Qiuping already holds 12% of the dry shares of Tianhai. So it was decided that Wang Xuan could only allocate less than 38% of the shares to other positions.
Then, the director needs stock, the head of the artist department needs stock, the head of the music department needs stock, the head of the film and television department needs stock, the top composer needs stock, the top director needs stock, and there are singers above the king level. Artists need to work hard...
So many positions require dry shares, but the dry shares he can allocate are less than 38%, which is not enough?
The plan proposed by Zhu Xu has undoubtedly solved the problem that has troubled Wang Xuan for a long time. Once there is no need to allocate dry shares to singer-level artists, then 38% of dry shares are enough to allocate.
Why do you say that?
In fact, allocating stocks to singer-level artists is the real problem that traps Wang Xuan.
Because of singers and queens, movie kings and movie queens, there may be a lot of people in the world in the future. It is not an exaggeration to say that there are as many singers and queens as dogs, and movie kings and movie queens are everywhere.
After all, there is Wang Xuan.
If Wang Xuan went all out to win praises, would it be difficult for him to become the king of singers, queen of movies, and queen of movies?
However, here comes the problem. Most entertainment companies in the industry and singer-level artists have shares, even giant companies have a small share.
And if Tianhai also allocates dry shares to singer-level artists, even if a singer-level artist is allocated 1% of dry shares, 10 singing kings will get 10%, and 15 singing kings will get 15%. Which share will be taken? come over?
Now, the plan provided by Zhu Xu eliminates the need to allocate dry shares to singer-level artists, which means that the problems that troubled Wang Xuan are gone.
Then the question arises again. Will they be willing to not allocate dry shares to singer-level artists and only allow them to rely on the company to open personal studios?
willing!
One hundred percent willing!
It is said to be a personal studio, but in fact, the nature of this studio is equivalent to the artist's own company. The artist has more freedom and decision-making power, and can expand the business more flexibly, but it only needs to be divided with the relying company.
But the split will be more flexible. In addition, the companies that artists rely on will still provide various resources and conveniences to artists.
Most entertainment companies are actually more willing to allocate shares to big-name artists than allow artists to open their own studios. Tianhai is just special. Because of Wang Xuan's existence, there will be no shortage of singing king-level artists in Tianhai's future, which determines that Tianhai cannot allocate shares to these singing kings.
"I don't need so many dry shares, just give me 5%. After all, Weng Qiuping already holds 12% of dry shares." Li Tao said.
You see, Li Tao is also a sensible person, and he can see Wang Xuan's difficulties at a glance.
If the previous consideration of giving shares to singer-level artists was a problem that trapped Wang Xuan, then Weng Qiu's equal share of 12% of the shares was the root cause of this problem.
If Weng Qiu had not taken away 12% of the shares, even if Wang Xuan allocated shares to a singer-level artist, it would have been almost enough.
"So Brother Xu and Brother Tao, have you agreed to come and help me?" Wang Xuan asked.
"You came to the door in person, how can I not give you face?" Zhu Xu said with a smile.
"Hehe! I said before I came here that as long as you can handle Brother Xu, I have no problem. After all, I have wanted to find you for a long time. During the time you left Tianyu, I felt something was wrong." Li Tao said.
"Thank you two brothers for your support and understanding. I really can't give you too much in terms of shares, but I promise you that in the future, Tianhai will definitely surpass giant companies like Huayi and become the most transcendent existence in the entertainment industry." Wang Xuan said.
"I believe it!" Zhu Xu said.
"I believe it too!" Li Tao also said.
"Then happy cooperation!"
“Happy to work with!”
