Chapter 359 A new giant is born! (The 4000-word chapter asks for a subscription! Ask for a monthly pass!)
On December 12, Tang An made an appointment with Ye Jintian, the artistic director of the crew, Zhang Li, the photography director, and Wu Qiang, the music director, who had worked together twice before, and they were willing to continue to follow Tang An.

It's not just a few technical talents, but Ye Jintian's entire professional service team, Zhang Li's two professional photographers, Wu Qiang's small team, and seven or eight music talents.

Ye Jintian has been staying with Tiangong Yicai and Xiao Yang to coordinate various aspects of special effects.

After waiting for another day, Chen Guofu and the others had quickly gone to work in the company, and Tang An No. [-] arrived at the new company.

Between the second and third ring roads in DC District, No. 1 Chaoyangmen North Street, New Poly Building.

This commercial building built in 06 has a construction area of ​​11 square meters, with a total of 33 floors above and below ground. It uses flexible cable glass curtain walls, and the curtain walls are connected by strong steel cables. This is the first time this technology has been used in China.

Even after 10 years, this building is not far behind.

After parking the car, we came to the entrance of the building and walked towards the entrance of this modern office building. Men and women in suits and leather shoes hurried past along the way.

Chen Guofu, Xu Manyun and others were already waiting at the door, and more than a dozen executives gathered downstairs.

"Chairman."

More than a dozen people who were not ordinary company employees greeted an ordinary-looking young man in unison, attracting the attention of white-collar workers and gold-collar workers rushing to work.

Many people also recognized Tang An, the popularity of a great director is not lower than that of first-line stars.

"Morning, everyone, it's so grand, let's go."

Tang An was very satisfied with their attitude. At least on the surface, he was very respectful to himself as the chairman, and he didn't despise him because he was young.

Chen Guofu and Zhu Mo did not feel uncomfortable because they were equal before.

Chen Guofu and Xu Manyun surrounded Tang An from left to right and entered the lobby of the building. While walking, they told Tang An about the company's situation after a short period of adjustment.

Xu Manyun had already told him these things, but he still listened to Chen Guofu say it again.

There was another acquaintance in the lobby. The chairman of Poly Group, He Yu, was talking to a short middle-aged man. Behind them were seven or eight people who looked like secretaries and assistants.

Tang An stepped forward to say hello, "Hello, Director He."

He Qi also looked back when he heard the voice, and said with a smile, "It's Tang Dong, good morning."

Then He Ji introduced the man next to him, "Let me introduce you, Director Tang, this is President Zhang of CCB."

"Hi, President Zhang, I'm Tang An from Han and Tang culture." Tang An immediately greeted.

This president must be the president of Poly Branch of CCB, and he is also in this building.

President Zhang said with a smile, "It turned out to be Mr. Tang. The Optics Valley Sub-branch loaned Mr. Tang [-] million last month. This is not a small achievement. Mr. Tang can come to me if you need anything in the future."

Tang An smiled and said, "It must be, I'm afraid that the amount is too small, and you will not like President Zhang."

After chatting casually, he took them in and took the elevator to the company on the 16th floor.

The original Poly Culture sign at the door has been replaced by Hantang Media Group, and hundreds of employees are already waiting.

He greeted the employees and entered the large conference room.

Twenty or thirty mid-level and high-level people gathered together and sat down one by one, with Tang An sitting first.

"Hello everyone, sit down."

Tang An pressed his hands together, signaling them to sit down.

"Hello, Chairman."

The first official meeting of the company, we got to know each other again.

Group President: Chen Guofu, former Director of Huayi Brothers Media Production Department.

General Manager, Vice President, Deputy General Manager of the Legal Department: Xu Manyun.

Vice President: Zhou You, former Vice President of Poly Culture.

Deputy General Manager: Guo Jianwei, former Deputy General Manager of Poly Culture.

Vice President, Director of TV Drama Division: Zhuang Liqi, former president of Chengtian Entertainment.

Deputy General Manager of Administration Department: Ren Wei, former deputy director of Poly Culture Office.

Chief Financial Officer: Liu Wei, former deputy chief accountant of Poly Culture.

Director of Human Resources Department: Chen Peng, former Personnel Manager of Human Resources Department of Poly Culture.

Director of distribution department: Li Nan, former general manager of Oriental Dragon Film Company.

Director of Propaganda Department: Zhu Mo, former Director of Propaganda Department of Huayi Brothers Media Group.

Director of Production Department: Liu Debin, former deputy general manager of Oriental Dragon Film Company

Director of Development Department: Ya Ning, former Deputy Director of the Editor-in-Chief of the Movie Channel.

Qiansi Advertising General Manager: Zhang Changsheng.

The managers of the subordinate departments of each department also got to know each other one by one.

Many departments have been merged or abolished or renamed.

Poly is a state-owned enterprise, and Poly Culture naturally retains some department names of state-owned enterprises.

For example, the director of the office has been reorganized into the administrative department, and the head of the department is at the level of deputy general manager, half a level higher than the director of each department.

The chief accountant has also been changed.

Basically, those who stayed were all deputies in various departments, and the top leaders were all transferred to Poly, and those who stayed were all hoping to get promoted to a half-job.

Some were promoted and some were demoted, and there will definitely be others who will leave in the future.

However, this is only a preliminary organizational structure, and it will definitely need to be adjusted after two or three years of stabilization.

Like the TV drama business department, the film business department will also be established in the future. The two major departments have their own production, distribution, and publicity departments, with the top deputy general manager level.

There is also a cinema business department, which will start building cinemas in second- and third-tier cities and even county towns as soon as possible next year.

The general managers of the four major studios did not attend the meeting. They are still preparing to set up a studio and will come back after a while.

There is another Yang Wenjun, and this is 5 studios.

After getting to know each other for a while, the director of human resources introduced the reorganized company.

Dongfang Shenlong joined in, and Qiansi Advertising went out independently, which is wholly owned by the group.

There are also 20% shares in Xinbaoyuan and British Film and Television.

Travel Satellite TV Poly has taken it back. This is jointly owned by Poly and Hainan Radio and Television. It is impossible to sell it. Hainan Radio and Television will definitely not agree.

Then Chief Financial Officer Liu Wei reported the current financial situation of the group.

The group basically had no money in its original accounts, and lost it a year ago, and Tang An still had to pay last month's salary.

Tang An spent 3.5 million of the original 3.4 million funds, and borrowed 5000 million from the proceeds of "Lost in Thailand", and the bank estimated that it was almost 1.5 million at the box office.

There are only 6000 million funds left, but they have not been injected into the group account yet.

Part of the investment in "Edge of Tomorrow" can be settled with a loan.

After the release of "Lost in Thailand" during the Spring Festival, the 5000 million loan from the bank should be repaid, and there should be nearly [-] million.

As soon as Liu Wei finished his report, Tang An spoke.

"Mr. Liu, how many years have you been in finance?"

"Eleven years." Liu Wei was taken aback for a moment, and then said.

Others didn't know why, only a few old foxes had thoughtful eyes.

"Eleven years is not too short." Tang An nodded and said immediately.

"Then can Mr. Liu explain to me what's going on?"

Tang An threw a document over with a cold face.

A trace of panic flashed in Liu Wei's eyes, and he picked it up pretending to be calm.

All the people present were veterans in the workplace, and almost everyone knew what was going on.

Liu Wei looked at the document and immediately sweated on his forehead.

Tang An looked at him coldly, "On November 11th and 29th, there were two payments with a ground advertiser totaling 30 million."

Originally, Tang An was going to find a department to do the surgery, but he didn't expect that the day after the merger and acquisition case was completed, the director of the finance department took the opportunity to swallow him 110 million yuan.

That terrestrial advertiser was basically a shell company, embezzling public funds in a simple way, trying to take advantage of the chaos in the initial stage of the company's reorganization.

It's winter, Liu Wei's back is completely wet, and he has to explain, "Chairman"

Tang An didn't want to hear what he had to say, and bumped into him when he was about to stand up.

"Report the case to the Regional Economic Investigation Brigade, Mr. Xu let the legal department prepare the materials."

Then three security guards dragged Liu Wei out.

In less than 5 minutes, the chief financial officer is finished.

Although he guessed that Tang An would definitely stand up in the early days, but this action was too fast, and everyone put away the contempt in their hearts.

Tang An glanced around and said, "The chief financial officer will be replaced by Wang Wei, the manager of the audit department. I will see a thorough, clear and complete financial statement within a week."

The team of lawyers he hired before had already figured out the company's finances, and several department managers under the finance department had a general understanding through their past financial statements. This manager of the audit department was considered the best candidate for succession.

A first level was born out of thin air, Wang Wei suppressed the joy in his heart, and repeatedly assured, "Chairman, don't worry, it will be completed within a week."

After gaining prestige, it's time to give some sweetness.

Tang An equipped them with cars, all BMW 3 series and Audi A4 at the director level.

The manager below is Passat and Accord, which are nearly 20 worth of cars.

Chen Guofu is equipped with an Audi A6 and Xu Manyun BMW 5 Series.

Tang An was the only one who took the Mercedes-Benz, and it was still the top-equipped S600 from before.

As long as they stay for 5 years, the car will belong to them after 5 years.

The more you buy, the better the discount. , A total of over 600 million was spent.

This little money still needs to be spent, and the company has just started. Tell them that the company has a way to make money and stabilize people's hearts.

It also tells outsiders that the group has no financial problems, so don't worry about it.

Then Tang An announced to all the staff that this year's year-end bonus will be doubled.

On December 12th, Tang An held a grand press conference at the Candle Hotel near the company, and invited many entertainment media and executives from major companies.

This was also Tang An's first public appearance in more than a month.

Regardless of whether they received the invitation or not, they all rushed over.

This can be regarded as an opening ceremony. The chairman of Poly, He Qi, attended the ceremony in person, but he left after a short stay. After all, his identity was there.

In addition to group executives, Zhao Baogang, Liu Yu, Tang Yan, Zhou Jia, Yang Mi, Liu Ruihao, Xu Zheng, Wu Ershan, and Yang Wenjun attended the press conference.

Yingda and Huayi had a good relationship, so Tang An sold him the 20% of the shares. Anyway, his company was useless and worthless in his hands.

"Welcome friends from the media and the industry. Today is the day when Hantang Media and the five major studios of Director Xu Zheng, Wu Ershan, Yang Wenjun, Yang Mi, and Tang Yan were established!"

"Everyone's entrepreneurship is difficult, and there are many bumps along the way."

Chen Guofu, Xu Manyun, Zhao Baogang, and the general managers of several studios all spoke one by one.

After Tang An's announcement, everyone suddenly discovered that Tang An's Hantang Media Group already possessed a complete industrial chain of the film and television industry.

Perfect distribution and publicity channels, as well as a well-known advertising company and many well-known filmmakers in the industry.

Xinbaoyuan is a well-known TV drama production company in the industry. Wu Ershan and Xu Zheng are both new directors.

Tang Yan and Yang Mi are both Four Little Stars.

There is also a 10% stake in Polywanhe Cinemas, so it can be said that everything is ready.

Coupled with Tang An's box office guarantee, there is no shortage of Dongfeng.

When it came time for reporters to ask questions, hundreds of reporters were in a mess.

"Tang Dong, when did you have the idea of ​​starting a business?"

"When I was filming "Partners in China", I chatted with Chairman Ma and the others. Their entrepreneurial experience is legendary. I wondered if I could try to make a career on my own."

"Dong Tang, you left Huayi and poached Mr. Chen and Mr. Zhu. Isn't it too unkind? Are you worthy of Huayi?"

"In the past few years in Huayi, I have gained a lot and grown a lot. Here I would like to thank Director Wang for giving me a platform, but resignation in the workplace is a normal thing, and there is no saying that I am sorry."

"Tang Dong, are you confident in developing Hantang Media into a large group like Huayi?"

"Director Tang, do you think you will still make movies?"

"Will "Edge of Tomorrow" run aground?"

"Mr. Chen, why did you leave Huayi and choose Hantang?"

"Tang Yan, why did you leave Chengtian?"

"Hi Yang Mi, the contract between Long Xinda and you will expire in two or three months, why are you in such a hurry to terminate the contract?"

"Director Zhao, has Xinbaoyuan been merged into Hantang Media?"

"Director Wu."

The reporters had too many questions to ask. Tang An not only set up a new group, but also recruited two senior executives from Huayi, two senior executives from Chengtian, two of the Four Little Huadans, and two from the [-] million yuan club. director.

Why did Tang An persuade them to join? What did they like about Tang An's new company?
Neither Wang Zhongjun nor Wu Bo was present, probably out of anger.

But almost everyone else is here, this is a rare event in the entertainment industry, and it may even change the status quo in the next few years.

Yu Dong and the others got together and looked at Tang An on the stage, sighing.

"Young people are awesome, what were we doing when we were 29 years old?"

"Tang An has seized the opportunity. Given him a few more years, we will have another opponent." Wang Changtian sighed.

Their two companies collaborated with Tang An on "Lost in Thailand" and "Painted Skin 2", both of which are movies with a high probability of success.

Needless to say, Tang An's own new film is one of the highlights of the year.

They also learned that Hua Yi would no longer cooperate with Tang An in "Edge of Tomorrow", and they all got involved.

Having a few movies is very beneficial for the company when it goes public.

Of course, the biggest beneficiary is Tang An, who seems to be able to see the birth of a new giant.

There are still a few people in the crowd who are more anxious, Chang Jihong and Liu Ye are worried to death during this time.

After rejecting Lu Chuan's scene, if there is another problem on Tang An's side, he will lose both sesame seeds and watermelon.

Huayi Wang Zhongjun didn't come, but Zhao Jun and Deng Chao did.

Originally Chen Guofu left, Zhao Jun thought that he should be promoted, but Gu Changwei came again, and he also gave up the idea of ​​promotion.

Originally planned to join Tang An, after all, the new company has a lot of opportunities.

But it seems that someone has already been selected as the director of the production department, so I hesitated now.

Deng Chao had almost no film resources in Huayi except "Assembly". In his opinion, Tang An chose him for the two films mainly because he was the most suitable candidate and had nothing to do with Huayi.

Now that Tang An has signed Tang Yan and Yang Mi, there are no male actors. If he goes there, he will definitely have a lot of opportunities.
