Chapter 298 The successor of Namei Entertainment
In the next two days, Sanyo Headhunting Company helped Namei Entertainment find several successors.
Yang Chaoye personally interviewed, and the last candidate who had served as chief operating officer of Paramount Pictures was successfully selected.
Alfred Tom, 46 years old, has worked at Paramount Pictures for 21 years and has served as department head, branch general manager, chief operating officer of the head office, etc.
Alfred Tom's career is very simple, almost all at Paramount Pictures, so he has a deep understanding of the film company.
A year ago, there was a big conflict with the company's biggest contracted actor.
The big-name contracted actor directly made a public statement that Paramount Pictures has him without me, and me without him!
Eventually the company chose the supporting cast and Alfred Thom was forced to leave Paramount Pictures.
In the view of Paramount Pictures’ board of directors, the company’s interests come first.
Although Alfred Tom is very talented, the position of COO can be replaced by others.
But the biggest contracted actors cannot be replaced by others.
The influence of every top artist is huge.
The board of directors of Paramount Pictures did not want to lose this cash cow, so Alfred Tom naturally became the target of abandonment.
Just like Namei Entertainment, if Linda Ronstadt was lost before Sioux City took over, the market value of Namei Entertainment would be at least halved.
This is the awesomeness of top stars.
Over the past year, Alfred Tom has submitted many resumes, but has heard nothing from them.
The reason is that these companies do not dare to use Alfred Tom for fear of offending the star.
So, although he takes the recruitment of Namei Entertainment Company very seriously, he does not have high hopes for it.
Unexpectedly, Yang Chaoye took a fancy to his talent and was not afraid of offending the top Hollywood actor and star.
For the talents recognized by Yang Chaoye, Su Cheng naturally had no objection at all. After a brief meeting and chat with Alfred Tom in person, he directly asked Zhang Qizheng and Yang Chaoye to meet with the new appointee. handover of successors.
As a result, Alfred Tom was directly appointed by Sioux City as the new CEO of Namei Entertainment.
As for the position of chairman, of course it is still held by Su Cheng.
Even if he is about to leave the beautiful country, it is not a problem.
Because today's Na'mei Entertainment is strictly a private company, it is not a problem for Su Cheng to be the boss.
Today is already October 18th, and the time to come to Beautiful Country is not short, so Su Cheng plans to go back in two days.
The reason why we are eager to go back is very simple: the oil problem.
These days, Sioux City is very concerned about the changes in world oil.
Japan, South Korea, Australia, Europe and other places have begun to panic about oil use, and the government has begun to call on everyone to save oil.
Because, with today's crude oil prices, rapid price increases are only a small problem.
After all, no matter how high crude oil rises, consumers will ultimately bear the price, not dealers.
The biggest problem is that it is really short of fuel.
After Persia stopped exporting crude oil, the supply of crude oil began to run out.
In a short period of time, this problem is not big.
But as time goes by, the impact of Sioux City’s early dips in crude oil inventories of various countries began to appear.
Since the inventory is almost gone, everyone who wants oil can only extract it now.
How can the speed of oil production compare with the speed of oil consumption in various countries?
As a result, the oil gap is getting bigger and bigger. Today, the oil market is short of 5 million barrels of oil.
Tomorrow, the oil market will be short of 6 million barrels of oil.
The day after tomorrow, the oil market will be short of 8 million barrels of oil.
This is how the vicious cycle begins.
The world is running out of more and more oil, which is why the world's crude oil prices are rising almost every day.
At this time, Su Cheng was sitting in the office of the chairman of Namei Entertainment Company, holding a newspaper in his hand.
On the desk, there are more than a dozen different newspapers.
These newspapers all report international energy news and were bought by Su Cheng.
"Los Angeles Morning News" reported: Nearly one-third of Japan's cars have no fuel, and there are fewer and fewer cars on Tokyo's bustling and congested highways. Affected by this, Japan's transportation industry has almost stagnated, which has indirectly affected all walks of life. The losses were heavy.
"California Business Daily" reported: Affected by the energy crisis, nearly half of the British fishing boats are unable to go to sea, and seafood prices have doubled.
The New York Times reported: Due to the reduction in oil imports, many means of transportation in Australia stopped working, making travel difficult. Hundreds of thousands of kangaroos were slaughtered by citizens who were short of food.
"California Daily" reported: South Korean historians discovered ancient Goguryeo ceramics in Saudi Arabia. After investigation, they believed that the territory of ancient Goguryeo must have reached as far as the Middle East. As its former homeland, the Middle East That oil should be mined by South Korea.
……
The impact of the oil shortage is beginning to be revealed.
Today, the price of crude oil has risen to 33.8 US dollars a barrel.
This price has already made Su Cheng a huge profit.
However, Su Cheng looked at the information in the newspaper and just smiled.
Although it has already earned more than 20 US dollars per barrel, Sioux City will not be so easily satisfied.
According to the information provided by Xiao Ai, in the previous world, even if there were no people like Su Cheng to interfere with bargain hunting, the price could rise to more than 40 US dollars.
In this world, the excess production of major oil-producing countries has almost been bought and hoarded by Sioux City. The impact will definitely be greater, and the price will definitely be higher.
40 US dollars is definitely not the highest, and even 50 US dollars or 60 US dollars a barrel is possible.
Oil is the lifeblood of every country’s economy.
With oil shortage, the economy will definitely be greatly affected.
Moreover, in today's era, there are not many energy alternatives like in later generations.
For example, solar energy, wind energy, nuclear energy, tidal energy, etc. have not been utilized as well as in later generations.
Therefore, the importance of oil cannot be replaced.
Su Cheng read all the newspapers before putting down the last one with a smile.
Crisis is an opportunity. For him, this is also an important turning point in development.
What does the disaster caused by the energy crisis have to do with him?
As long as you can make money, it’s none of his business if others lose money!
Since he decided to go back in two days, Su Cheng was naturally ready to go back and soon told Zhang Qizheng, Yang Chaoye and others about this decision.
Of course they don't care about this. Anyway, the affairs of Namei Entertainment Company are still being handed over.
In fact, there was nothing to hand over, because when Zhang Qizheng took over the management of the company, no one handed it over to him. He had to understand it bit by bit.
Now, Alfred Tom has someone to take over with him, so that's fine.
