Chapter 1995 Purpose

"I say, why are you always staring at me?" Feng Yiping picked up a few sushis and saw Palmat next to him still staring at him, so he couldn't help asking.

"Are you interested in making a cameo in our movie in the future?" Palmat looked at Feng Yiping and said.

"Excuse me, are there any Chinese superheroes in Marvel?" Feng Yiping said to him.

"That's easy, as long as you want it, you can have it," Palmat said generously.

Feng Yiping thought, isn't it like this now? If you want it, you can have it, because Marvel is yours.

Of course, that is based on not counting on the sales of related comics. Judging from the current situation, it is still difficult to get these guys in European and American countries to accept and admire a superhero from China.

"I think you are relaxed, so you have the energy to satirize me?" Feng Yiping also knew the other meaning of Palmat's words. Isn't it just saying that his acting is good?

"Maybe this is really your true character, but you are a person with multiple personalities. Tell me, which personality am I facing now? The personality of a gourmet?" Palmat smiled, and now he looked very relaxed.

"What can I do?" Feng Yiping said unhappily, "Think about it yourself, old man, if I still get along with everyone in Marvel now, will the result be good?"

Feng Yiping picked up a rather expensive sushi, dipped the fish fillet in a little soy sauce that was sent with it, and swallowed it in one gulp.

This meeting tonight was indeed very consuming for him, and he was really a little hungry.

However, unlike the other people around him who were eating with relish, he wanted to heat up these cold sushi in the microwave at this time.

To be honest, he couldn't tell what was so delicious about these rice balls.

Well, this might be the same as he couldn't tell what was good about Zhonghua and the special supply panda, couldn't tell what was good about Maotai in earthenware bottles, and what was good about Longjing in Shifeng. He didn't have the ability to appreciate this aspect, and didn't want to learn such an ability.

Of course, he doesn't need to have this kind of appreciation now.

Well, now he no longer needs to use these external things to raise his own value, or to show his taste, or his status.

And those executives who looked at him and immediately smiled enthusiastically at him, their relishing look may also be pretending.

At this moment, they must be restless.

As soon as the new boss came, he removed Arad, a veteran of the company, without any mercy, changing the gentle image of Feng Yiping in their minds. This fierce blow made many people dizzy now.

Especially those who shared the same hatred with Arad at the beginning, they would inevitably worry about another problem at this time. Will this boss, who seems to be not very tolerant, remember them in his heart and regard them as supporters of Arad, and give them a hard time in the future?

Including "bang", a big pie hit his head, the newly-minted Marvel Pictures President Kevin Feige, must also be restless at this time.

Of course, in his heart, he was naturally happy and jubilant.

But no matter if he was a little scared or happy, no matter if he wanted to eat sushi or not, he had to eat it with relish. This was the boss's treat, how could you not give him face?

Palmater looked really delicious, and he also liked to eat with mustard, worthy of being a veteran who had been on the battlefield.

Of course, this may have something to do with the fact that he earned two meals - he ripped off Feng Yiping's one meal, and he didn't have to pay for the midnight snack himself.

"Yes, Marvel, it really needs to be rectified, Arad," he was silent for a while, "I really didn't expect him to do such a thing,"

Feng Yiping glanced at him. With Palmater's shrewdness, it is impossible for him not to notice these things, but no one is perfect. Sometimes, it is really difficult to deal with some people and some things.

If Marvel belonged to him alone, he might still be ruthless, but Marvel was a listed company before.

"Now, I can say that I have removed all the constraints for you. I hope that Marvel can bloom with different vitality as soon as possible," Feng Yiping said.

"Although I'm a little sad, I feel relieved when I think that Arad will no longer appear in the company from today," Palmat confessed his feelings to Feng Yiping.

"Speaking of this, I also hope to adjust a department of the company. The original supervisory department will be disbanded and a new batch will be hired. I also require that each business department must have supervisors," Feng Yiping said to Palmat.

Arad's ability to do so has a lot to do with the incompetence of the supervisory department.

However, this can also be said to be a deep involvement of Feng Yiping in Marvel's management, because the newly established supervisory department, their work objects naturally include Palmat.

Palmat glanced at Feng Yiping, "I agree,"

How could he not agree? Feng Yiping obviously would not allow him to build Marvel into his own independent little kingdom.

"I also hope that this department can have a capable supervisor,"

"Well," Feng Yiping glanced at him, "I'll let Cummins pay attention,"

It was just a simple question and answer, and this matter, which actually had great practical and symbolic significance, was settled.

Feng Yiping was quite satisfied with Palmater's statement.

The biggest difference between Marvel and the other two companies he had acquired before, Coinstar and Netflix, was that the helmsmen of those two companies were still the founders of the companies.

So after he acquired them, he didn't have to do the work of stabilizing people's hearts.

But Marvel was not like that.

Including the acquisition by Feng Yiping, it has been the fourth time it has changed hands.

In 1989, Marvel founder Martin Goodman sold Marvel to Ron Perelman for $85 million. In 1999, Palmater took over again.

As we all know, a company that is brought up by its founder and develops smoothly, whether it is listed or private, the founder will have high prestige in many aspects and will have super control over the company, but Marvel is not like that now.

Or, the person in charge of the company has excellent management ability and can also have super control over the company, but it is obvious that neither Palmater nor his predecessor Ron Perelman are such people.

Ron Perelman took over in 1989, and Marvel filed for bankruptcy in 1996. After Palmat took over, it was obviously not much better.

Of course, even in the hands of founder Martin Goodman, Marvel was not much better, and it hovered on the edge of bankruptcy many times.

Therefore, the centripetal force of Marvel's executives is really not very good, and loyalty is even less to talk about. Confidence, haha, if they had confidence, Marvel would not be privatized so smoothly.

Feng Yiping believes that if most of the people attending the meeting today receive a call from LinkedIn tomorrow, they may receive a resignation letter in front of him the day after tomorrow.

Therefore, his first appearance at Marvel was so different from before. Taking down a high-ranking person like Arad with solid evidence will make some people nervous, but objectively, it will also make them have confidence in the company and have some new expectations for the company's future.

At least for a period of time, it can stabilize people's hearts, and of course, it can also make these guys who have no motivation to work active for a while.

His reorganization of Marvel and other subsequent arrangements can slowly gather people's hearts and finally turn these people who seem to be no different from a pile of loose sand into a strong team.

This is also the main reason why he is ready to stay in Los Angeles for at least a week.

"But Feng, the focus is still on open source. Do you have any good suggestions in this regard?" Palmat said.

No matter how well a company is managed, if it does not make money, it is still not a good company.

Feng Yiping also appreciates Palmat for this point. He actually thinks that compared to Marvel, Palmat is more suitable for another position, the senior president of Gain Capital's cost control.

He believes that that position will be where he can best play his strengths. Of course, that is a question to be discussed later.

"Don't worry about the open source point," Feng Yiping put down his chopsticks, "when Netflix and YouTube arrive in Los Angeles the day after tomorrow, we will discuss these issues in depth,"
