Chapter 167 Three fires when the new official took office
There are three fires for a new official to take office. After the music company CEO Song Qinghan took office, it is naturally the same.He began to make drastic reforms to Z&L Entertainment according to his own ideas.
The first reform introduced by Song Qinghan was to change the trainee system introduced by Zhang Xiaoyu. With the idea of supporting newcomers in the music industry, Zhang Xiaoyu had Zelan recruit nearly 500 trainees in the past year.These young men and women with music dreams in their hearts, just like going to college in a music company, receive various trainings in the company for up to one year.
During this year, all the expenses of these children are borne by the company, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation of 500 people add up to a lot of expenses.The most critical issue is that, in this year, except for a very small number of these 500 trainees, 98% of them cannot directly create economic benefits for the company.It is equivalent to the company investing a huge amount of money to train them. As for whether they will be able to receive results, everything is unknown.
After Song Qinghan came to power, he summoned the directors of various departments of the company and senior producers in the industry, and made an assessment of the future development of the 500 trainees in the company.They are scored in terms of personal image, singing skills, dancing skills and other aspects.The full score is 100 points, and anyone with a score lower than 80 points will be eliminated.
After a week of assessment, less than 20 people scored more than 80 points, that is to say, 480 people will be directly kicked out by Z&L Music.
As soon as the news was sent out, it immediately caused an uproar.
The major news outlets began to report the news in turn.
The host of a variety show channel, holding a microphone, stood on the square of the Z&L Music Building, looked at the tall building behind him, and said to the camera: Dear viewers, I am now located downstairs of the famous Z&L Music Company .Z&L Music, the leading music company in the industry, is currently making a big move. After the new CEO takes office, he will conduct the most stringent screening in history of the 500 trainees recruited by the former company. It is reported that this time there will be a full More than 480 trainees were swept away by Z&L Music.The proportion is very high, rare in history.Why did Z&L Music suddenly make such a ruthless move? Is it because of the new CEO Song Qinghan's business ideas?Or is it because of problems in the Z&L music capital chain?According to people familiar with the matter, there were rumors in the market earlier that the stock price of Z&L Music has been falling continuously, and the economic pressure is huge.As for the specific situation, please pay attention to the follow-up reports of our reporter.
There was also a news reporter from a TV station who blocked Song Qinghan, the CEO of Z&L Music, at a business occasion.
"Mr. Song, Mr. Song, why does your company suddenly screen almost all trainees?"
"Please let me go, please let me go, I have already said it, no comment, no comment."
Song Qinghan's bodyguards and assistants kept pushing and shoving the reporter, and escorted Song Qinghan onto the dedicated elevator.
For this huge change in the company, which shocked the entire entertainment circle and the entire Z&L Group, Song Qinghan was also subject to controversy, but he seemed to be very firm about his decision and didn't care about other people's opinions.
He also does not intend to accept media interviews, to give the public a convincing explanation.
After Zhang Xiaoyu and Ze Lan heard the news, their reactions were completely different.
Ze Lan was angry and impatient, and the sensibility of a woman made her unable to understand what kind of motivation and starting point Song Qinghan was based on to make such a decision that caused great justice.She felt sorry for those trainees who were innocently screened out. These boys and girls with musical dreams in their hearts finally found a stage in Z&L where they had the opportunity to realize their musical dreams.She knew that these children must be very sad now.
Zhang Xiaoyu was very calm, although he didn't think Song Qinghan made a wise decision.However, he is now the CEO of Z&L Music, and his decision this time was deliberated and approved by the shareholders' meeting of the music company.Moreover, the most important thing is that all of Song Qinghan's assessment processes are open and transparent, and all procedures are also reasonable and legal.From a rational point of view, there is nothing wrong with his handling.
The divergence of the current problem, if we want to use the word divergence, can only be attributed to the difference in business ideas.
Like Ze Lan, Zhang Xiaoyu hopes to give this group of children more opportunities. They both came from grass roots and know how difficult it is to struggle in this society.When he established a music company, he wanted to recruit more trainees. He wanted to train them with more patience and encouragement, and give them a chance to pursue their dreams.
But Song Qinghan didn't think so.
He has always lived in the upper class of society. His perspective is elitist. The law he believes in is survival of the fittest. He believes that it is meaningless for the company to spend tens of millions of trainees every year.He upholds the perspective of economic benefits and cost performance.
In his report to Zhang Xiaoyu, he believed that the company is not a charity organization, and the most important thing in running a company is to make a profit.He even analyzed last year's monthly financial statements and used the data to explain to Zhang Xiaoyu how thankless it is to train this group of trainees.
Looking at Song Qinghan's report, Zhang Xiaoyu was speechless.
From a rational and economic point of view, he really couldn't find a strong enough reason to refute Song Qinghan.
However, Zhang Xiaoyu thought, there are still many things in this world that cannot be measured from a rational point of view. For example, if these trainees are not good enough now, it must mean that they will still be the same in the future?
But Zhang Xiaoyu had no way to persuade Song Qinghan from the perspective of a business operator with his own point of view.After all, as the CEO of a music company, he has the right to make decisions in terms of daily operations.Zhang Xiaoyu shouldn't interfere with him easily.
Although Ze Lan was also very sad, but after Zhang Xiaoyu communicated with her all aspects of her considerations, she gradually suppressed her inner dissatisfaction.
The rest of the company naturally wouldn't meddle in their own business.
In this screening turmoil, the most hurt are naturally the 480 trainees.
After they came to Z&L Music, they all felt that they were lucky. They sweated here day and night, studied hard, and hoped to train themselves to become stars in the entertainment industry in the future.However, what they didn't expect was that they would be treated so dramatically by the company that day.
They are angry, they are wronged, they are dissatisfied, but there is nothing they can do.
Someone confided to the former CEO Zelan. They knew that Zelan was very kind to them and would definitely stand by them. They jointly sent an email, hoping that Zelan could stand up and intercede for them.
What they didn't expect was that Zelan simply replied with a few words: You are still very young, and there will definitely be better opportunities in the future.
Zelan really wanted to help them, but due to various considerations, she could only avoid the important ones.
After sending the email, Ze Lan leaned lightly on Zhang Xiaoyu's shoulder, sighed, and said with some helplessness: "Why are we getting stronger and stronger now, and many things are becoming more and more helpless and tied up?"
One sentence speaks to the depths of Zhang Xiaoyu's heart.
This is what he has been thinking about for the past two days.
Yes, why am I so omnipotent, and now I can't even stick to my original decision?
If he decides to hire Song Qinghan, he can make the decision, but now if he wants to dismiss Song Qinghan, it is not something he can do with a single sentence. He must also take into account the opinions of several major shareholders of the music company.
This Song Qinghan, it seems that he is really not an idle person. In the short time since he took office, he has done an excellent job in public relations. He has successfully won several major shareholders of the music company. They stand by his side and support him. his decision.
What worries Zhang Xiaoyu is that the total shares of these major shareholders plus Song Qinghan have exceeded the shares held by Zhang Xiaoyu and Ze Lan in the music company.
In terms of personal shares, Zhang Xiaoyu is naturally the largest shareholder of the music company.But now, the situation has undergone some subtle changes: Song Qinghan and the three major shareholders account for a total of 37% of the shares, while Zhan Xiaoyu and Ze Lan's combined shares are only 35%.
