Chapter 66 Do You Dare To Sophistry?
January 1, 1997.
New Year.
This festival is a happy day for many American people, and Christmas will be on holiday for many days at a time. However, for Hollywood film and television entertainment companies, the time when others are most relaxed is their busiest and profitable moment. Therefore, major entertainment companies have already resumed work for a few days.
Today, UPN TV employees, whether they are senior executives or grassroots personnel, are a little confused.
Because, the new CEO will take office today!
"Have you heard that? The company's new CEO is a woman." A UPN executive sneered disdainfully.
Another black executive nodded and said, "I know that woman, Donna Lang Lei! Last summer, I met her at a movie celebration party at Universal Pictures and even talked to her."
"Oh? Then what are her methods? Will it be very strict?" asked the executive.
“Haha~”
The black executive shook his head and smiled, and said in an extremely contemptuous tone: "Don't think she is a member of Universal Pictures, she is just an ordinary film producer. Do you think she has the ability to handle UPN's administrative work?"
He paused and continued, "I guess she will only be thunder and raining at that time. She will show off her power at the beginning, but in the end, she will have to rely on us."
Hearing this, the other executives breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hahaha, if that's true, then UPN will still be our world."
"Hey, I can't say that. After all, I'm also our immediate boss in the future."
"Doret, you're not honest."
"That's it! What do you think of old fox? Do we know?"
"Yes, you must be thinking about giving the new CEO a warning."
“Haha~~!”
...........
A group of executives started discussing.
Obviously they don't like the new CEO who will be in office.
--female!
An extremely sensitive term, especially in related entertainment companies in Hollywood.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just salary is full of discrimination. Men in positions above the middle and senior management and above, the salary and benefits of men in positions of equivalent positions are usually 6 times that of women!
“…….”
At this moment, a 26-year-old young executive among the executives frowned.
"A bunch of shallow idiots!"
Compared with some executives who have the idea of fighting for power and profit, the young female executive has a simple idea. He hopes that UPN TV's performance will be good, after all, it will be related to his own salary and future prospects.
After all, even if the loser changes jobs, his wealth will drop sharply!
No one likes losers!
His name is Alexander Povich Sannali Sergei.
Well, his name is a bit long, because he is a Russian-American. Well, at the same time, he is also the youngest executive since the founding of UPN TV!
"snort!"
"A bunch of old fried dough sticks will only see stupid people in the sky of the wellhead in their lifetime!"
"What I think all day long is not how to improve the ratings of the TV network, but what can I do when I stare at the little power in my hands?"
"I don't think about it. Two months have passed. Once the company does not improve, will the boss be swept out of the house? I just think about the rights and it's useless!"
Alexander was full of disdain for the few people who were also senior executives.
Repeatedly in my heart, whipping them again and again.
....
....
soon.
UPN TV's new CEO Donna Lang Lei, accompanied by Zhuke's personal lawyer Zhang Wei, wore a delicate uniform, expressionless face, and stepped forward with great strides, without any mind.
Walk into the conference room!
When a group of senior executives saw the two of them coming in, they knew that this woman was their immediate boss.
So, whether it was to give Zhang Wei the face or to the company's rules and regulations, they immediately stood up to express their welcome.
"Everyone, it seems that you all know who the lady in front of you is. Then I don't talk nonsense. I, Zhang Wei, only represent Mr. Wald, solemnly announce here that Donna Lang Lei will officially serve as CEO of UPN TV from now on!" Zhang Wei read out.
As soon as the words fell, applause suddenly erupted.
Face still needs to be given.
Zhang Wei smiled and nodded: "Okay, everyone, my top priority has been completed. How to work next? I hope you can fully cooperate with Ms. Donna. Of course, this is Mr. Wald's request."
Zhuke's request?
To put it bluntly, it is just a statement that it supports the new CEO!
For a moment, except for some other executives, and several other executives who were keen on power, looked a little ugly at this moment.
Everyone sat down.
"Everyone, my name is Donna Lang Lei. From today on, I will be your immediate boss. I hope you will fully cooperate with my work in the future. I am a request and Mr. Wald's order. I believe you will not let me down, right?"
As soon as Donna opened her mouth, her face was expressionless and her words were full of sharpness.
"Of course, we will cooperate with all our strength." Everyone responded with a smirk.
The new official takes office for three fires, and it is the same all over the world.
However, the newly appointed Donna did not say much when she met everyone for the first time.
But.
After a week, it will be different!
...........
After a week of familiarity, Donna's first full-time executive meeting officially began after taking office as CEO.
Compared with the previous week, UPN TV has only less than 8 executives left, and now there are several more people, all of whom are recruiting externally or exploring talents from other companies.
I feel a little full of talents.
Donna looked at one of the middle-aged executives with curly hair and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Sipps, you are the head of the company's administrative procurement department. You were personally responsible for the procurement of new office equipment three days ago, right?"
"Yes."
The visitor nodded.
"That's good, it seems I'm not looking for the wrong person."
Donna nodded, looked through the information in her hand, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Sipps, you are an old man who joined UPN in 1992. He has been the head of the procurement department since 1995. He can be regarded as a veteran of the company."
"But now I want to ask you why you embezzled $350,000 in the procurement of equipment three days ago after the company's equity change?"
Embezzlement of $350,000?!
In an instant, everyone in the conference room was in an uproar.
"Donna!"
An executive named Sips immediately angrily said, "Don't think that you are the new CEO, you can taint people's innocence out of thin air. How can I embezzle? Don't you ask, how is Sips?"
The words fell.
Even an executive who was familiar with Sips said, "Ms. Donna, Sips is a famous honest person. Would you make a mistake?"
“Haha~”
Upon hearing this, Donna sneered: "Thompson, I haven't looked for you yet, and I never expected you to jump out first."
"What do you mean?"
An executive named Thompson immediately stared at Donna with a bad look.
"What do I mean? Let's talk about you later."
Donna turned her attention to Sipps, the head of the procurement department, and said in a deep voice: "Sips, you are still an elite graduate from famous universities. You have been engaged in procurement for many years. Can you not even make false accounts now?"
"Look!"
"This is the accounting statement you made. A desk costs $120 and a trash can costs $12? This is simply difficult to fool laymen. You actually used it to fool me?"
"Also, you purchased goods from Frankie Office Equipment, but have you forgotten that it is a subsidiary of Universal Pictures?"
"I'm not afraid to tell you that Frankie is a friend I have been with for many years. Do you still dare to argue now?"
"Do I need to use the specific report on the purchase list from Frankley?"
Boom~~~!
After a heart-wrenching question, he instantly defeated the head of the procurement department, Sips, who still wanted to argue.
"You..." Ships was speechless.
Chapter completed!
