Dulin is obviously not joking, he has always done this. He believes that bullets are more binding than language, morality, integrity, dreams and so on, because human life is only once and is still very fragile.
Nasha smiled and said nothing. She took a spoon and stirred the mushroom soup that had just been delivered. The rich aroma of milk combined with the aroma of mushrooms and corn gave off a charming taste. She knew Du Lin wasn't joking, but now she needed some help, and she didn't have much left. Although Nasha still doesn't know why her grandfather, Mr. John, spent a lot of money to build the theater chain and distributed it to his brothers and sisters without giving her, the direct descendant, the only thing she can do now is to take the theater chain in her hand. The two tape companies are doing well.
In order to ensure clear readability and higher recognition, another company has changed its name to "Star Empire Media Company" to face the pressure brought by more and more investors setting their sights on the tape market. According to the financial reports for the last quarter of last year, the profits of the two companies each quarter have increased significantly compared with the third quarter. Excluding various expenses and costs from the total revenue of the tape, the net profit was 270,000.
This number may not seem like much, but the profits brought by value-added services are far more profitable than the simple tape business. The net profit from advertising and some special programs is about 620,000, and the total revenue in the first quarter is close to the 1 million mark. The management of both companies met for a meeting last year. At this meeting, everyone believed that these revenues would grow more significantly in the new year, and at the same time they would encounter more challenges.
This is only the good side, so naturally there is also a bad side. There are now a total of seventeen Tape Media companies in the entire empire. Some are looking for innovation and want to break through the current mainstream content, but some companies have given up on independent innovation and fully plagiarized the content of Empire Star. If in the new era If you cannot continue to lead in content this year, you may suffer failure.
At the same time, with the loss of the big tree of the George family, there was some impetuous atmosphere among the company executives on both sides, and some executives had the idea of leaving the company. The reason why they were able to be summoned by Nasha to become her subordinates was not because she had outstanding abilities or other talents that could impress others, but because she had the big tree of the George family behind her. Now that the tree has fallen, and there are so many challenges and pressures, it is obviously normal to want to leave.
Not everyone is seeking to challenge themselves and break through their limits, and some people just want a stable life.
Regardless of whether there are personnel changes in the top management of either side, it is very likely that a tsunami will sweep across the two companies. This is something Nasha absolutely does not want to see. She still needs to rely on these two companies to restore the glory of the George family. So she wanted to ask Du Lin how to manage her own industry efficiently, but it was obvious that Du Lin's answer made her unable to continue the topic.
She couldn't do it. If she could, she wouldn't have met Du Lin.
She quickly changed the topic, looked out the window at the deserted street, and asked, "Where do you think the future is?"
"The future?" Du Lin shook out his napkin and tucked it into his collar. He picked up a spoon and took a spoonful of rich mushroom soup. "If I were you, I would package and sell the two companies to those who want to enter this world while waving checks. The upstarts in the industry will offer you a satisfactory price for these two companies with good operating conditions and high market share. Then they will use the money to find some solid investments to run small businesses that will not damage their foundation. Business, or simply find someone to marry and live a prosperous life, this is the future.”
"You don't think highly of me?" Nasha put down her spoon and showed a very serious expression. She was a little angry. She didn't like Du Lin's statement and his "goodwill" towards her, so she couldn't help but retort: "What if this year Our operating situation can have a stable improvement. As long as we can continue to operate, we will be listed on the exchange next year. By then, we will have more money to expand the market and compete with other companies. Maybe we will become A dominant force in this field.”
Du Lin looked serious and nodded, "Then do as you say!"
He was very disdainful, Nasha could see the indifference in his eyes, why
Of course, this is because the emergence of cable TV will inevitably eliminate tape, a media that has fallen behind just a few years after its emergence. Newer, faster, more and more accurate cable TV will be able to wipe out all tape companies as soon as it appears. Compared with paying about a hundred yuan a month for tape that is updated every ten days, cable TV is a real media where you can watch new content anytime and anywhere without having to pay more for it. mainstream.
Even in the magical world called the Internet in Dulin's dream, countless traditional media media have been wiped out by the Internet. Only cable TV can continue to develop healthily, and in some fields it can even compete with the Internet. I'm going to fight.
It can be seen that the value and potential of cable TV are endless. Before the emergence of the Internet, it was absolutely dominant.
However, he would not say it clearly. He was very disappointed with the attitude of Mr. John and Mr. Mark, so he dug a pit and let the giant fall, and then other giants pushed him into the abyss. He has not obtained all the wealth of the George family, but what he eats now makes him very satisfied. He would not give Nasha or the George family a chance to turn around for any reason. That would be a stupid thing.
Du Lin stopped talking, which made Nasha feel a little indescribably complicated. She wanted to know, but didn't want to ask Du Lin, so she could only use this emotion on a not-so-luxurious lunch.
During the meal, Nasha asked Dulin some questions about what media companies need to pay attention to, as well as new open sources. In this regard, Du Lin did not mind telling her his thoughts. The more glorious a destined failure is before failure, the more it can reflect the value and significance of the new era. Just like fireworks, people will always remember the most brilliant one, and never consider how much money has disappeared under this beautiful scenery.
After the meal, Nasha invited Du Lin to go around the company. Du Lin had nothing to do. After thinking about it for a while, he agreed to Nasha's request. Nasha actually did this for a purpose. She might not be able to do the "die if you don't obey the rules" as Du Lin said, but she could use Du Lin's prestige to temporarily silence some people with ulterior motives. Come down. She doesn't need this false tranquility to last long, just one year, one year.
After this year's financial report comes out, she will submit it to several well-known financial auditing companies on Xie Lisi Street for review, and then actively seek to go public. Once any company is successfully listed, the other one can follow suit. With two listed companies and strong financial strength in hand, Nasha is confident that he can win all subsequent wars in this field.
The first time Du Lin appeared on Empire Star, many people forgot about the work at hand. It was rare for the old club and the new owner to appear at the same time, especially since they all knew that Du Lin was involved in this tape company. After putting in so much effort, he proposed and perfected almost every project, but in the end he sold it to Nasha for unknown reasons. It's really shocking that the two of them can appear together under such circumstances, and it seems like there was no quarrel!
When some people in the management heard the news, they were not as curious as the ordinary employees outside the door. Instead, they looked a little solemn. As the mainstay of society, the middle and high-income class, they know better than those people who have a dozen or so people crowded into an office what role Dulin played in the downfall of the George family, and they also know better that Dulin's strength and financial resources have reversed. Come over and surpass Nasha, the orthodox heir of the George family.
If these two people can shake hands and make peace, even on the surface, it will put great pressure on them.
There must be a new atmosphere in the new year. Many old employees have greater expectations for the new year when they see the old and new bosses appearing together. Of course, there are also some people who are not having a satisfactory life in the new year, such as Mr. Anpu, whose pseudonym is Lapuan.
After a phone call from Magus, Anna finally got the whereabouts of Mr. Anpu, who had lost contact. She would definitely not go to the Federation, but to the special commissioner of the Imperial Intelligence Agency (Department) and people from the Imperial Foreign Ministry.
In fact, this has always happened in the past. Hidden intelligence agents were caught. Almost 99% of the intelligence agents would eventually be shot secretly after a series of inhumane interrogations and it was confirmed that no more value could be squeezed out. Whether it is the Empire or the Federation, these people are like transparent people, with no trace of their existence in this world at all.
If Dulin hadn't said a few words this time, Anpu's fate might have been the same. When the interrogation was meaningless, he might have been killed by a bullet, and then become fertilizer in a certain place for a long time in the future. For a period of time, it nourishes the land and the plants that grow on it.
Fortunately, he is safe now.
Anpu, who saw the weak sunlight again, raised his hand to block the light that was not dazzling. He had been imprisoned in a small room where he could not see his fingers for a month, except for occasionally being dragged out by the interrogators and tortured for a while. He was arguably waived and placed on the first processing list in mid-January.
Fortunately, God favored him again and gave him another chance.
There was no exciting handover ceremony, nor any touching speeches. The whole process was like a silent mime. He was put on a black hood at the base, and when he took it off, he had already appeared in a navy. Inside the military port.
