The reason why summer invited Millhouse to stay was mainly because of the rare talent.
Although Columbia Pictures did not achieve very good results during Millhouse's administration, it was not his business. Because looking at Hollywood in the 1980s, almost no film company had good performance.
Fox Films was sold to media tycoon Murdoch, only for 500 million US dollars; MGM was bought and sold by casino tycoon Kirk Kelcorion, and sold all the most important film libraries to Turner Broadcasting Company; Disney was also in business difficulties and could only make a living by relying on his parents’ money...
Columbia Pictures' performance is not as good as the top and the bottom, which shows that Millhouse Mason's ability is not that bad, but it's just that he happened to encounter the low point of American movies.
Xia Tian believes that under his leadership, Millhouse will be able to show his talents and make some achievements. It is rare to have talents, and it is even more rare to have managers who will be familiar with Columbia Pictures and be able to take over immediately, so Xia Tian is willing to give him this opportunity.
After hearing Xia Tian’s invitation, Millhouse was stunned and then smiled, “Are you serious?”
"Of course. If you are willing to stay..." Xia Tian nodded.
"Of course I'm willing to stay!" Millhouse nodded heavily.
Although he was demoted from the position of chairman to the marketing manager, Millhouse didn't mind because he still had a relationship with the company and didn't want him to do nothing and just leave in shame, leaving himself with a lifetime of regret.
"Thank you, Mr. Xia!" Millhouse said gratefully.
"You have to be polite." Xia Tian waved his hand and smiled.
...
While busy attracting figures in the summer, Shaofu Morita is busy contacting several newly elected directors.
Although he was really unhappy by Bruce and others, he didn't dare to get angry at this moment. Otherwise, he would have spent a billion dollars to buy two directors, which would be unworthy.
"Mr. Silton, Mr. Blum, congratulations! It's really surprising that you were elected as directors." Morita Shoufu smiled.
"Mr. Morita, sorry, we originally wanted to vote for you. But later we thought about it, it's better to rely on ourselves than to rely on others, so we left the vote for ourselves. You shouldn't blame us, right?" James Silton and Jeff Brownson smiled at Morita Shouf.
The 500,000 US dollars of Morita is indeed a lot, far exceeding their salary. However, although the money is good, they cannot ask for it because it will bite people.
Their power is given by Xia Tian, and he can take it back at any time, so they should follow the rules, otherwise, even if they have the life to get the 500,000 dollars, they will have no life to spend.
When Morita Shaofu heard James and Jeff's words, he was furious, but he also knew that this was not the time to turn against each other. He still needed their support to be elected chairman.
"No, no, I understand your approach very much." He said with a smile, "You can keep that check, too. I just hope we will work together in the future."
"That's good." James and Jeff nodded with a smile, "Then we all thank Mr. Morita."
"You have to be polite." Shaofu Morita smiled, "We should just help each other."
...
After the shareholders' meeting, the media reported in detail about the change of directors of Columbia Pictures, focusing on the incident where Shaofu Morita and Xia Tian only received three seats on the board of directors. They are definitely a minority. Not only can they not cause any storm in the company, but they should be wary of being kicked out of the company.
"The summer Hollywood trip ends early, goodbye, Chinese!"
"Shaofu Morita wants to steal chickens, but unfortunately, our people have tied the fence very tightly!"
"After this lesson, Hong Kong people and Fusang people should understand that this is the United States, and we have the final say!"
Many newspapers, radio stations, TV stations, etc. use this as jokes and treat Xia Tian and Shaofu Morita as the biggest fools in the world. They spent a huge amount of money to acquire Columbia Pictures and obtained nearly half of the shares, but only won three seats on the board of directors. It was so stupid.
After this news broke, the Americans who had been opposing Morita Shoo and who had participated in Columbia Pictures in the summer have all dispersed now.
Because it is obvious that although they are major shareholders of Columbia Pictures, they have almost no chance of taking power. If that is the case, what else can I object? If the Sifa Department really announces that the acquisition is invalid and will return all the acquisition money to them. That will instead allow them to take advantage of it.
"Their money is going to stay in the United States, but they can't take power!"
"Columbia Pictures is always our Americans, and their money belongs to us after all."
"It's just to let them know that even besides money, the company still needs to listen to us."
Those who opposed it gloated and said proudly.
...
When the news came back to Hong Kong, many people found it incredible.
Summer is very promising to take over Columbia Pictures, but why did it only get one seat in the end? Isn’t this a waste of money?
"What happened? How could Xia Tian make such a mistake?"
"He and Shoufu Morita joined forces, and as many as 49% of the shares can fight with those small shareholders, but how could he end up falling into this field?"
"The Hollywood trip that stumped the summer really ended so sadly?!"
After seeing this news, Hong Kong people talked about it.
At the same time, Zou Wenhuai from Jiahe and Mai Jia from Xinyi City were also surprised.
They had hoped that Xia Tian would take over Colombia and help them release the movie to the United States. They never expected that Xia Tian would not even save herself and would be kicked out of the company as soon as possible.
"Isn't this a joke? Why can't I laugh at all?" Zou Wenhuai asked He Guanchang speechlessly.
"If summer is about to be expelled from Columbia Pictures, wouldn't I be happy before?" Mai Jia also murmured to herself with a cigar in her mouth.
Both of them were a little lost.
On the contrary, after hearing this news, Pan Disheng, Zeng Zhiwei and others all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh, Xia Tian is so smart and confused! This time Guan Gong went to Maicheng and was fooled by the Americans as a monkey." Zeng Zhiwei smiled happily.
"Summer will be expelled from Hollywood soon. OK, let's see how he has the face to return to Hong Kong!" Pan Disheng was also a little gloating.
