Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 702: Eliminating Wanda

This matter ends here. Chairman Mo will go back for instructions. It will take a few days. The address of this research institute is at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain.

The land is free of charge and is allocated directly. The scenery here is beautiful, you can enjoy the flowers and the moon, and it is very quiet.

The construction is also done by China Construction according to the blueprints. They have special research institute blueprints and the construction can be completed quickly. The researchers can start in one building first.

After the construction is completed, we will move to the new location. The equipment will include processors, graphics processors, storage and other hardware, and we will first use Chang'e Technology's data center.

That data center is fast and runs fast!
At this stage, "Yifei Xianju" does not need a very high running speed, it is enough for their use.

It’s just that Fang Hong needs a top HR talent. Without HR, how can he fool those scientists? Without HR, how can he optimize the team configuration?

Chang'e Technology's HR is not good. Chang'e Technology replaces hierarchical control with information transparency. That is, the management can see what you have done and how capable you are through data.

Talents are also recruited internally, not from outside. Those who have the ability will be promoted, and those who don’t will remain in their original positions.

However, "Yifeixianju" is not an educational institution, so we definitely need to look for talent from outside, and we need to look for highly educated talent. We cannot just look for a large number of graduates to see if you have the ability.

Instead, we should find people who have achieved certain results and have certain potential from schools and society.

This is the only way to do it in advance, just slowly look for it. Anyway, many people know about the organization "Yifei Xianju", and Fang Hong shouted it out quite loudly at the beginning.

In addition to those three, some scientists came here because of his reputation, for example, a student of Hu Yuanming was coming to do an internship.

This person later became the founder of Tai Chi programming language, but he is still studying and will graduate next year.

The outside world didn't know much about the "Yifei Xianju" matter, except that Fang Hong shouted about it loudly at the beginning.

No one knows what happened later. If you want people to pay attention, you have to have results.

Otherwise, people will say that the principal is just a big shot and is just talking nonsense.

The news that Wanda had cut off the Tupiaopiao ticketing system in the film and television industry had already spread, reaching the ears of many filmmakers and CEOs.

All I can say is that Mr. Wang is also very tough and is not restrained by the principal at all. He is much more capable than the two brothers back then.

I just don’t understand what’s going on with those two brothers. They’re cheering for the principal like crazy. Aren’t they sworn enemies?

They don't understand the psychology of traitors at all. Once traitors surrender, they are eager to prove themselves, just like those traitors. Only in this way do they think they are right and valuable.

Zheng Zhihao, CEO of Tu Piaopiao, also reported the matter to Fang Hong: "Principal, Wanda Cinemas has cut off Tu Piaopiao's ticket sales channels, and our system can no longer connect to their cinemas."

"That's perfect. Let's hold a shareholders' meeting, expel Wanda from the list, revoke their shareholder status, and require them to compensate for the losses." Fang Hong was unambiguous and it was obvious that he had a plan in place.

"Is this feasible?" Zheng Zhihao was surprised.

Wanda is an old shareholder of Tupiaopiao and has invested in it since the beginning. It has opened the cinema chains to them. It can be said that Wanda has part of the credit for the success of Tupiaopiao.

"Nothing is impossible. They have already cut off the connection with your system. Why keep it? For the New Year?" Fang Hong was very ruthless.

"Okay, I understand!" Zheng Zhihao had no choice but to obey the order and leave. It was not convenient for him to get involved in this matter, so he could only do as he was told.

So, Mr. Wang was sitting at home when he received the lawyer's letter sent by Tu Piaopiao.

"Bang! What on earth does this little bastard want to do?" Mr. Wang slammed his fist on the desk, shaking with anger.

"Mr. Wang, why are you so excited?" Zeng Maojun was startled.

When did Lao Wang always have such a reaction? Usually he was very calm and confident.

"That guy actually wants to remove Wanda from Tu Piaopiao. Not only that, he also wants us to compensate Tu Piaopiao for its losses. I caused losses to Tu Piaopiao. It's really fucking funny. Tu Piaopiao was supported by me." Mr. Wang was so angry that he laughed. He was completely broken by the principal.

Looking back, when Tu Piaopiao had no money, he provided money; when Tu Piaopiao had no resources, he gave up his Wanda Cinema Channel to Tu Piaopiao.

Now they are saying that he has caused losses to Tu Piaopiao and they want to expel him and ask him to pay compensation.

This... this is something a human would do. Even a dog would be more loyal than this!

As a shareholder of Tupiaopiao, Wanda has the obligation to provide resources to Tupiaopiao. This was the agreement originally drafted and has always been valid.

But Mr. Wang didn’t think so much at the beginning. People want you to invest mainly for resources.

Although there have been conflicts between the two sides over the years, they have always remained restrained, with some minor actions at most, but there has not been a complete break like this time.

Now that Wanda Cinemas has completely cut off Tupiaopiao's system, it is equivalent to a breach of contract and a failure to fulfill the obligations of a shareholder, that is, not providing resources to Tupiaopiao.

In disguised form, they have caused losses to Tu Piaopiao, so they must pay compensation. This is the logic.

However, this time Fang Hong didn’t even want to give the money and wanted to kick Wanda out of Tupiaopiao. That is to say, the amount of money Wanda invested before might all be wasted, and several years of investment and support would be wasted.

Even a dog would be more obedient than this!
"Mr. Wang, calm down. It's not that easy for the principal to kick you out. He will have to bleed." Zeng Maojun comforted.

Now the market value of Tupiaopiao is more than 30 billion yuan. It would be difficult to kick Wanda out without 20 to 30 billion yuan.

Now there is no room left on either side and it has to be cut completely.

Lao Wang didn't say anything, mainly because he was angry. In the end, he still had to deal with the fact that the principal wanted to kick him out this time. Even if he wanted to leave, he had to get some money back!

Just like what Guangxian did in the beginning, cashing out 20 billion and leaving!
The principal wanted to remove Mr. Wang from TupiaoPiao, and even Tencent heard about it. They were also shareholders of TupiaoPiao and had received a notice to hold a shareholders' meeting. "This principal is really too difficult to deal with. Mr. Wang will have a hard time meeting him!" Tony said.

They had invested in Tupiaopiao together in the beginning, and it had been like raising a child for so many years. Now the child doesn't recognize him, which makes them feel a little heartbroken.

But that's how the business world works. Meituan, which Alibaba invested in first, was forced to withdraw, and Tencent got a bargain.

"Who can be blamed for this? If you want to blame someone, blame his son. He not only scolded someone, but also scolded someone's wife. No one can tolerate this." said President Liu Zhiping.

"That's true." Tony said.

If Xiao Wang comes to talk about his family or daughter, he will not let Xiao Wang go.

We should also be like the principal, push Xiao Wang into the abyss, and go home to be a rich second generation.

"What do you think about this?" Tony Ma listened to his opinion.

"Chang'e and Yutu are developing too fast now, and TikTok is on the rise. We still have to be on guard. Mr. Wang is not a threat to us, but the principal is." Liu Zhiping analyzed and kicked the ball to Tony Ma again, asking him to make the decision.

They are not interested in the competition between the two parties in the film and television industry, but are particularly wary of the development of Chang'e Technology.

It can be said that Chang'e Technology has posed a threat to Tencent. Many people closed WeChat and went to watch Douyin. WeChat is just a chatting software and the online time is very short.

The constant scrolling on Douyin takes away a lot of users' time.

That is to say, there are 24 hours in a day, and except for sleeping time, 10 out of 8 hours are spent on TikTok, taking away their users' time.

Now, major Internet companies are in the transition stage from competing for users to competing for time.

"You're right!" Tony Ma nodded.

The film and television industry has nothing to do with them, as they only have a few movies in total, but the development of Chang'e Technology has to make them vigilant.

Games and social videos make them feel uneasy.

Just when the parties had different thoughts and Yutu and Wanda were fighting in full swing, Jack Ma took the opportunity to increase his investment in Tao Piaopiao, and a large number of user subsidies and marketing activities flooded the market.

Ele.me, Weibo, UC, etc. all have Tao Piaopiao movie coupons.

They are also leveraging big data push.

After the holiday, "Captain America 3" had a box office of 1.8 million on the first day, and it immediately rose to 2.48 million on the second day. It's simply terrifying.

The box office of "Lucy 2" is still very stable, with a box office of about to million.

When they subsidize marketing, they will definitely treat the films differently and will definitely not favor "Lucy 2".

But Tao Piaopiao did not say that it would withdraw "Lucy 2". If it dares to withdraw it, other cinemas will never let it go. They make money by relying on such a limited number of movies. If it withdraws it, they will all switch to the Tu Piaopiao system.

They can only use big data to manipulate the data behind the scenes to divert more traffic to "Captain America 3"!
It can be said that this movie has revitalized Wanda. With Tao Piaopiao taking advantage of the opportunity to rise, Wanda no longer needs to rely heavily on Tu Piaopiao.

Of course, Tupiaopiao still has the largest market share. With the competition between the two giants, Karami will be the one that is squeezed to death.

"Lucy 2" was also released in North America on Friday, May 5, and earned $6 million in the first three days of the weekend.

It is better than the previous one, simply because the previous movie is also somewhat well-known internationally.

But it’s a little worse than its previous life. In its previous life, the movie had a box office of more than 40 million dollars in North America in its first week, which is about 10 or 20 million dollars less.

It is a good result, proving that Liu Tianxian is still quite popular internationally. Of course, it is also possible that overseas audiences can understand and appreciate this movie and have their imaginations blown.

Every movie Liu Tianxian makes for overseas audiences is understandable and not that profound.

Profound movies have certain cultural characteristics, and if they are not, you won’t be able to understand them.

However, some viewers were puzzled: "It seems to have nothing to do with the previous plot!"

Not only overseas audiences have such doubts, but domestic audiences also have such doubts, and they also said: "This should not be called Lucy 2, it should be called Divine Body, which are two different stories."

Even so, it's still fun to watch.

The international reputation of "Lucy 2" is also mixed.

The New York Times criticized the film, saying, "The film's science setting is absurd, it oversimplifies the pseudo-scientific concept of brain development, the plot relies on jumping logic, and the character creation is flat and lacks depth."

"The film's attempt to blend philosophy and popcorn entertainment is unbalanced, and the abstract expression in the second half seems abrupt and weakens the overall coherence," IndieWire reported.

Even the scientific community criticized the film as pseudoscience and misleading the audience.

Of course, there are also praises. Hollywood reported: "It's bold and sci-fi, and the heroine is calm, strong and full of maternal love, especially the part where she looks at the monkey at the end."

Variety reported: "An imaginative and cool film!"

The word of mouth is polarized, which is the case with all controversial movies, and "Lucy 2" will be released in 49 countries around the world.
