Zhao Hong found that at least one-third of the employees were idle and didn't know what they were doing every day. The management was also in chaos. Many of them were fat-bellied, but they had no gaps in their hearts.

This matter was randomly reported by the American media, misinterpreting that DreamWorks deliberately laid off employees and turned a blind eye to MGM's simultaneous recruitment of employees. MGM Film Company has a total of about 4,000 people, and in half a month, it directly laid off about 1,000 people. .

This caused a huge response in Hollywood, and at the same time, it also recruited about 500 employees.

Zhao Hong discovered many talents among them, the most eye-catching of which was a young man in his thirties named Robert Egger. He is also somewhat famous now and will become even more famous in the future.

Robert Egger was born in Long Island, New York, in 1951. When he was in high school, he decided to work in the television industry and entered Ithaca College in New York to take a media course.

After graduation, he first worked as a weatherman at a local television station and then joined the American Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), starting as a junior studio producer and working his way up through the sports and entertainment department.

When ABC was acquired by Metropolis in 1985, while working at the new company, Robert Iger became known for his uncompromising work ethics and candid and fair style.

In the future, he will become the chairman of Disney in the new millennium and lead Disney to become the largest film company in Hollywood.

Zhao Hong was overjoyed after seeing his information. He really didn't expect to catch such a big fish. He believed that as long as he was trained well, he would be the talker of DreamWorks in Hollywood.

During this period, he directly split off United Artists, handing over the company directly to Robert Iger. As for MGM, he handed it over to a talented person who was unsuccessful in the company. This woman, named Meyer, was also a A person who will shine brightly in the future.

In this way, Zhao Hong quickly cut through the mess and cleaned up the two companies. Many employees in Zhao Hong walked around the company with trepidation, fearing that if they did not do well, they would be dismissed from their jobs.

During this period, the unemployment rate across the United States has skyrocketed. This is why Zhao Hongqian laid off a large number of employees. It is not too easy to recruit employees at this stage.

After acquiring MGM, Zhao Hong discovered that her company still had foreign debts of US$300 million. Zhao Hong did not want to pay back the money immediately, but still had to put some pressure on the two new people.

During this period, he continued to acquire MGM's outside shares in the United States. Through low-price acquisitions and capital injections to dilute it, DreamWorks eventually occupied 95% of MGM's shares, and then directly applied for privatization. Delisted.

It can be said that DreamWorks has carried out drastic reforms on MGM at this stage. The main reason for Zhao Hong's delisting is to wait for the company to get on the right track before re-listing, so that he can get back the excess money he had before. .

This operation directly cost DreamWorks a total of 1.4 billion U.S. dollars. Currently, United Artists and MGM do not interfere with each other. Meyer and Robert Iger are respectively in charge of it. Each company has a cash flow of 100 million U.S. dollars on its books.

After Zhao Hong handed over the matter, he ignored it. As for how to operate it, it all depended on their own skills. He didn't want to give them a few good ideas. He planned to wait for a while to see if they had the ability to run the company well.

Zhao Hong is not afraid that they will tend to be too big to lose. When recruiting employees during this period, he also recruited many Chinese with good abilities. This is also a way of mixing sand.

In addition, some people were transferred from Hong Kong to work here. At first, he was worried that no one would want to come to the United States to work. In fact, he thought too much, and a large number of employees wanted to come to the United States.

People flocked to this opportunity, so now the company has three forces: employees from Hong Kong, local Chinese employees, and other white employees.

How these people are integrated depends on the skills of Meyer and Robert. Zhao Hong is very confident in this. The abilities of these two people are not inferior to the elder sister at all.

After finishing the matter, he went back home directly. During this period, he brought Li Jue with him. It was rare for them to be alone together.

Although Li Zhi spent a lot of time with Zhao Hong, she didn't spend much time alone together. This was a rare opportunity, and she served Zhao Hong comfortably.

They also have their own villa in Beverly Hills, Hollywood. It is rare for the two of them to live a small life as a couple. Zhao Hong discovered that Li Zhi's cooking skills are very good.

During this time in Hollywood, Li Zhi was helping me, and many things felt much lighter. Now Li Zhi's business ability is getting better and better.

When Zhao Hong returned to Xiangjiang, it had just arrived on November 15th. MGM's affairs were completed, and Xiangjiang Hotel was also in the hands of DreamWorks.

My sister is personally responsible for this matter. On October 28th, DreamWorks held 51% of the shares of Hong Kong Hotel. Therefore, Lao Kadoorie did not make any unnecessary struggles and discussed it in just five days.

A deal was reached on the same day. DreamWorks spent HK$5 billion on this project. This is regarded as the shares acquired before this.

At this point, DreamWorks has completed its long-standing layout. Zhao Hong took Yazhi to the Peninsula Hotel on the day she came back.

"Azhi, look, this is our special room from now on. Do you still remember that I said I wanted to buy this room?" Zhao Hong said, pointing to the wonderful room they had, and she was full of joy when speaking.

It's proud.

"See what you can do!" Yazhi rolled her eyes at Zhao Hong with a blush and said, but she felt very sweet in her heart. She was so unhappy that Zhao Hong could remember everything they had done before!

The two people entered the room and saw that everything inside was as it was before. Yazhi looked around happily.

"Azhi, how about we relive our old dreams?" Zhao Hong gently hugged Azhi and whispered in her ear.

The person who responded was a pair of big eyes that made me feel pity. How could I bear this!

…

DreamWorks' successive big moves can be said to have shocked many companies in Hong Kong. They are very worried that DreamWorks will attack them. However, they are obviously more worried. They have not seen any other moves from DreamWorks for a while.

It was a relief.

Now there is no doubt that DreamWorks is the largest company in Hong Kong. Even many old foreign companies cannot compare with it. As for other Chinese consortiums, it is even less comparable.

At this stage, among the Chinese in Hong Kong, the only ones with assets worth hundreds of billions are probably the Zhao Hong family. Other families are still a little behind, and it may take another one or two years to reach such a height.

It can be said that every move of DreamWorks has attracted much attention. Zhao Hong found that it was impossible to make a fortune silently.

Nowadays, it is difficult not to attract attention due to the size of DreamWorks!

But now DreamWorks is not afraid of any storm. Since acquiring MGM, DreamWorks has had a great influence in the media circles around the world.

In this case, the safety factor rises sharply. Under normal circumstances, even the Hong Kong government would not dare to suppress at will. Of course, DreamWorks has never been suppressed, but it is always good to be prepared. Never put your own safety on the integrity of others.

.

Since he won't be filming movies this year, Zhao Hong's life is pretty good. By December, he has written about 500,000 words of his novel, and it is expected to reach 700,000 words by the time of New Year's Day this year. This book

Zhao Hong feels that she may not be able to finish it even next year.

You can only write 150,000 words per month, which feels like the ultimate speed. Zhao Hong has broken away from writing by hand. He uses a computer to type, which is much faster.
