Chapter 214 Poaching Donna Round

"Good afternoon, Donna, may I call you that?" In a cafe near Universal Studios, Yang Cheng and the current president of Universal Studios, Donna Round, hugged each other face to face.

"Good afternoon, Jason, of course you can. In fact, all my friends call me that." Donna Rondo was less forceful than the last time we met, and had a touch of tenderness unique to women. Of course, this is outside after all. If It would be a different scene if we met at the company.

The two sat opposite each other on a small round table, each ordered a cup of coffee, and there were several dishes of refreshments on the table, but no one cared about it, and the scene fell into embarrassment for a while, mainly because Yang Cheng was phrasing in his heart, and he didn't know how to speak. Unobtrusive and sincere.

"Jason, your expression is very conflicted. If you have something to say, let's just talk about it." Donna took a sip of coffee gracefully, and spoke first, setting the stage for Yang Cheng.

Seeing this, Yang Cheng stopped being pretentious, cleared his throat and asked, "Donna, we had a good chat in your office last time, and you also proposed to change the working environment. I wonder if you still have the intention now. What do you think of New Era Media?"

Donna Round had an expression of knowing this, "If I agree, what position will you offer me?"

Yang Cheng's eyes lit up, there was something to be said for this, he had already prepared for this answer, and replied without hesitation, "The vice president of New Era Media is also in charge of New Era Pictures, and is in charge of the full power of Lionsgate and Focus Pictures. If you can join the job as soon as possible, you will be responsible for leading the acquisition of DreamWorks, and if the acquisition is successful, your work pressure will rise in a straight line."

Tang Na was not frightened by Yang Cheng's words, but said with great interest, "I heard that Dreamworks Animation has caused a bloodbath in Hollywood recently, and several giants are fighting for their heads. The quotation in US dollars per share shocked many people, including me, Jason, I have to admit that you are a young and energetic entrepreneur."

"Thank you Donna. You can't be an entrepreneur. You also know that this price is far from the end. Jeffrey's appetite is not so easy to satisfy." Yang Cheng waved his hand and dismissed Donna's praise lightly. Sugar-coated cannonballs can't be casual Swallow into the stomach.

"Of course, you and I both know the real value of DreamWorks Animation, so your strategy is correct. Use a seemingly high price to shock small players out of the field, so that you can concentrate on dealing with giants such as Comcast."

Tang Na's thoughts coincided with Yang Cheng's, which made Yang Cheng feel like a hero who saw the same thing, nodded and said, "That's right, don't forget about Disney."

Donna sips her coffee and shakes her head slightly, "I think Disney is purely bluffing. Robert Iger just wants to muddy the water. It doesn't mean that he will spend a lot of money to compete with Comcast and New Era Media. DreamWorks Animation is tantamount to tasteless to Disney,

It's a pity to discard it if it's tasteless to eat! They had Pixar after all. "

After a pause, he finally emphasized, "So, I think the only opponent of New Era Media is Comcast."

Yang Cheng slapped his forehead and suddenly said, "Look at me, I almost forgot that Comcast is Universal's parent company."

The subject changed, "But, Donna, since you are willing to speak from the standpoint of New Era Media, does that mean you agree to join our big family?"

Donna Round didn't answer directly, she drew circles on the wall of the coffee cup, lost in thought.

Yang Cheng didn't remind her, she quietly sipped the Blue Mountain coffee, and frowned subconsciously. The coffee beans in this shop had been stored for a long time, and although they didn't have any stale flavor, they lost the mellow aroma of Blue Mountain. It's a pity for someone who grew up drinking high-quality coffee, presumably because few people order this expensive coffee.

"Jason, let me tell you the truth. I think you have investigated before asking me out. Regarding the reason why I want to leave Universal, I want to make sure. Are you willing to bear the possible hostile relationship with Universal after digging me over?" Long time, Donna Round spoke solemnly.

Yang Cheng knew that the answer to this question would directly affect whether Tang Na would agree to accept his invitation to join New Era Media.

Organize some words in my mind, and said seriously, "Donna, you don't need to worry about this. Talented people are born with the right to be pursued. I hired you because I value the benefits you can bring to me, and the huge benefits you may generate. In comparison, it is worthwhile to bear the grievances between you and your old club.

What's more, from a practical point of view, New Era Pictures is not afraid of Universal. I believe that with your ability, it is only a matter of time before New Era Pictures can completely surpass Universal. , is a very tempting and challenging thing, you should not refuse it! "

Yang Cheng's answer is very solid. She directly clarifies that the reason to recruit you is to value your earning ability. This slightly cold answer is very comfortable to the ears of a strong woman like Donna Lande. Is it human? In the same way, everyone is a business elite, don't talk about interests and relationships with businessmen? That's called narcissus not blooming and pretending to be garlic!

"Since that's the case, Jason will take care of you for the last part of my career." At this moment, Donna Langde no longer hesitated, and told Yang Cheng her decision in a tactful way commonly used by Chinese people.

"Haha, Donna, I believe you won't regret this decision after you retire." Yang Cheng reached out and shook Donna's hand firmly.

"Then I'll go back to the company first. Give me a month to go through the handover procedures, and then I'll go to New York to report to you." Donna Lande stood up and confirmed her entry time.

Yang Cheng also stood up, just shook his head and said, "Donna, I know that you have adapted to life in Los Angeles. The first thing you will do after you start the job is to move the headquarters of New Era Pictures to Los Angeles, and start the Lionsgate and The work of focus merging, this small matter will not trouble you."

"Of course, this is my part of the job, but the specific office location still needs to be decided by you, the boss." Donna regained her strong woman nature, and her speech became crisp and neat.

"Well, let's discuss it together at that time. There is no rush. Regarding your salary, we will discuss it after you officially enter the job. I promise, it will never be lower than your current salary."

"Jason, I believe you won't let me have nothing to eat in my later years, the issue of remuneration is not urgent."

"Okay, then, call me for anything, including your difficulties in life, and New Era Media will solve it together."

"Thanks, Jason, then I'll take my leave, and besides, the coffee here is terrible."

"Haha, I feel the same way!"
