Dunn didn't want to dream too much at night, he wanted to solve the trouble quickly. To this end, he specifically delayed the flight to Japan, waiting for Jack Welch. Dunn is inexperienced, and he was a little caught off guard for the power struggle of executives like Barry Diller and Robert Iger, but Jack Welch is different, he will be able to handle it well. After Jack Welch retired from the position of chairman and CEO of General Electric, he founded his own consulting services company, and Dunn was the first partner. At first, he was a consultant to Dunn Pictures. After the establishment of New Global, the two sides deepened their cooperation. Jack Welch is a shareholder of New Universal and, in addition to serving as an advisor, also chairs the management committee. Although it is a second-tier position, it also has an annual salary of $150,000 per year. The company is in trouble, and he should come forward to solve it. "The latest contradiction is actually the fashion industry." Jack Welch listened to Dunn's story and pointed out the core directly. Dunn nodded in agreement. Previously, the two factions were also in conflict. But at least it's under control. However, when Tang En stated that he would make efforts to enter the fashion industry and further enrich the downstream ecological chain of the film, it caused a strong rebound from Barry Diller. The head of the Consumer Goods Division is Andrew Mooney, a man from Robert Iger. Tang En said: "Barry's behavior that damages the company's interests is disappointing!" Jack Welch pondered for a while, "Dan En, how determined are you to enter the fashion industry?" "Huh?" Tang En raised his eyebrows . Jack Welch said: "In my opinion, the business of a large company, especially an industry leader like New Universal, must be among the best in the industry. If you can't do the best in the industry, you just don't do it. Otherwise, it will only affect the company's brand value." He was in charge of GE and cut off hundreds of GE's profitable projects because those projects were not the top industries in the industry. Under this "one of the best" strategy, GE has completed a magnificent qualitative change, becoming the world's first giant company, and he has also become a well-known world's first manager. After his retirement, GE's life has been markedly difficult, and its market value has shrunk by more than $200 billion. Tang En sternly said: "Acquiring Prada is only the first step. Next, New Universal will enter the fashion industry in an all-round way! If we want to do it, we must do our best. I agree with this view very much. The future consumer goods business will It will be comparable to the empire LVMH group in the fashion industry!" Jack Welch nodded and said: "The winner takes all, it is the highest law of business. If you can really make the plate of the fashion industry as big as the LVMH group, there will be no It is possible to lose money. Fashion is essentially a service industry. Buffett said that this is an industry with permanent profits that will never disappear." Hearing these words, Dunn's mood improved a lot, laughing. Dao: "I think so too. To be honest, if the acquisition of Prada goes well, then I plan to buy Victoria's Secret." "Well, I heard that. I also have some contacts with LB. When the time comes... I'll take the lead in persuading the two major shareholders. It's not a big problem. The premise is that you need to exchange the shares of New Universal." "Of course! No problem!" Tang En's eyes lit up, and his mood became more comfortable. . Sure enough, the family has an old man, if there is a treasure. The status of a figure like Jack Welch in the American business circle is really too detached, and any company and any investor must consider his influence. For example, when Disney wanted to acquire a TV station, it encountered obstacles. First, the acquisition of CBS failed. Another acquisition of NBC also failed. Later, Michael Eisner got through with Warren Buffett through Michael Ovitz. Then, Buffett just said "The combination of Disney and ABC is in the long-term interests of both parties", and he easily facilitated the $19 billion merger of Disney and ABC. However, how to solve the internal contradictions of New Global now? Jack Welch said: "Since you are determined to win the layout of the fashion industry, then Barry Diller... is not so important." "Huh?" Dunn was startled. Not important anymore, what do you mean? Can't just fire him outright? Dunn doesn't care about the $80 million termination compensation, the key Barry Diller is still very important to the current New Universal. In 2006, New Universal went public. After the company goes public, letting him retire is a gorgeous curtain call. To dismiss him now is to kill the donkey. Spread out, the reputation is too bad. Jack Welch saw Dunn's surprise, smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "I heard you are going on a business trip?" Dunn said calmly: "Well, go around Asia to promote the movie I starred in. The Departed." Jack Welch's mouth twitched, a little broken. The management conflicts are so serious, are you still in the mood to go to Asia to promote movies? You are... well, you are a movie artist! "Okay, let's go. I'll help you with the company's affairs." "How to solve it?" "Tell me the truth." "Tell the truth?" Jack Welch said: "Everyone is a smart person. Sometimes, they play some complicated tricks, but they are inferior. I will make your determination to enter the fashion industry clear to Barry, and then give him an analysis of the current situation. New Universal's interests, he must be able to make the best choice." Dunn was a little dazed, "It's that simple?" "Of course it's not that simple!" Jack Welch snorted, "Robert Iger...I I don't know much about that guy, so this time it's a test. In the fashion industry, Barry Diller won't intervene, and can't let him intervene. If Robert Iger can do this job well, he's really in the fashion industry After opening the pattern, everything is easy to say. If he does not make enough achievements within two years, then after two years, you should honestly renew the contract with Barry, and then find another successor." Tang En said. Robert Iger was naturally full of confidence and said firmly, "Bob can do it, I believe him!" With his strong support, he didn't believe that Robert Iger couldn't even handle this trivial matter. If it really doesn't work well, then as Jack Welch said ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ we have to find another successor. As for renewing Barry Diller...don't even think about it! Never! This time, Dunn was very disappointed. Disappointed! It is too much to have a power struggle at the expense of the company. In particular, the alliance between Barry Diller and Bill McNick was so influential that it was difficult for even Dunn to check and balance. After the company is listed, they will leave the front-line jobs in a glorious way and take a back seat to the second-line! ...the plane flew to Tokyo. The journey was long, and little Taylor fell asleep on the table. Dunn took her to the bedroom, took off his coat, and gently covered the quilt. Then, he reflexively returned to the work area, asked the flight attendant for a cup of coffee, opened the laptop, and wrote a letter: "New Universal will have greater development, and entering the fashion industry is only the first step, and the plan is to go public. This is just the beginning. As an employer of a huge company, no matter who you are, you are subject to all shareholders and responsible for their interests. This is not because everyone has different ideas and management styles, but because of this The prerequisite is that managers can always be correct, humane, humble, sensitive, shrewd, shrewd, ethical... The managers of the company must meet ethical standards, so that the whole company can see and be convinced. Weil Qi once taught me to act like 'Mrs Thatcher'. This is advice for all managers, especially for managers of listed companies. In the past two years, New Global has been in Zhujun's Astonishing progress has been made with hard work. But this is just the beginning. History will remember those of our generation who struggled." The letter was forwarded to Barry Diller, Robert Iger, Brandi Norris, Bill McNick, Jeff Zucker, Kevin Turner, Andrew Mooney, Bob Chapek, and every other group executive. . Nine Heavens God Emperor
