Chapter 686: 236, rocked the entire Wall Street_3 Chapter 686: 236, rocked the entire Wall Street_3 Donnie looked at Joseph Schenck and said, “You have already reviewed the company’s materials, and what follows is to introduce you to everyone, but what you do next will depend on your ability!”
Joseph Schenck nodded and replied, “Rest assured, I’ve made preparations before coming!”
Satisfied, Donnie then turned to Eva Cowan, who had already arrived at ABC ahead of schedule, and said, “Go and inform people from all departments to meet in the conference room!”
Eva Cowan got up to inform these people.
Donnie took Joseph Schenck to the conference room ahead of time.
When managers from other departments gradually entered the conference room and saw Joseph Schenck sitting beside Donnie, their expressions were a mix of emotions—everyone had already received news of Mashang Evans’s departure, and they also knew that Joseph Schenck was going to replace Mashang Evans as the new president of ABC.
But such a move involving the absolute upper echelons of the company still dealt a great psychological blow to everyone present.
Especially for some who had met Mashang Evans in person, so one could say they were feeling quite conflicted internally.
No one knew whether this major turmoil within ABC would affect themselves.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is Mr.
Joseph Schenck, the new president of ABC.
The company is grateful for the contributions Mr.
Mashang Evans has made over the past two years, but considering the state of Mr.
Evans’s health, the company has had to make this personnel change.
But everyone can rest assured, ABC is still the same ABC, and its development will not be subject to any revolutionary change due to this personnel shift.
So, I also hope that everyone will support Mr.
Joseph Schenck as much as they supported Mr.
Mashang Evans while he was with the company!”
With a simple introduction, Donnie formally introduced Joseph Schenck to everyone.
What followed was Joseph Schenck’s introduction of himself to everyone, along with his thoughts on the development of ABC.
The whole process took place without any other sound but applause; no matter what, at that moment, everyone seemed to be supporting Donnie’s decision on the surface.
The meeting didn’t last long, and as it ended and people were getting ready to leave, Donnie held back Cask Pasiman, the manager of the News Department, Warrick Taylor, the manager of the Internal Affairs Department, and Mark Pereira, the manager of the Shows Department!
“The three of you were quite close to Mashang Evans while at the company.
We’re planning to host a farewell banquet for Mr.
Evans, and I was wondering if you have any thoughts on that?”
Cask Pasiman, Warrick Taylor, and Mark Pereira looked at each other.
These three were the three biggest influentials at ABC under Mashang Evans, and it could be said that Evans’s departure was directly related to them.
Now Donnie was saying that they were the best of friends with Mashang Evans within the company.
Clearly, Donnie was reminding them of the visit Mashang Evans had just made to their offices.
So, were they going to tell Donnie the real reason Mashang Evans had looked for them?
Ultimately, personal self-interest prevailed, and they didn’t mention the recent incident, but instead discussed with Donnie how to organize the farewell banquet for Mashang Evans.
Donnie listened to their words with a smile and finally said with a laugh, “Since you already have concrete ideas, let’s have the Internal Affairs Department take charge.
Warrick, this task is yours; you must organize an impressive farewell banquet for Evans!”
“Please rest assured, Chairman!” Warrick Taylor said seriously, nodding his head.
After the meeting concluded, Donnie left ABC and returned to the hotel! ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by ɴo(v)elFɪre.ɴet
About half an hour later, Mark Pereira, the manager of the Shows Department, arrived at Donnie’s room.
Donnie nodded for him to sit down, then asked, “You must have some thoughts about making Joseph Schenck the chairman of ABC; what are they?”
ABC had many internal departments, but it couldn’t be denied that the Shows Department was a very important one, even one that could be considered top two.
Mark Pereira nodded and said, “I must admit, there is some dissatisfaction in my heart, but I know that your arrangement must carry deep meanings, so I resolutely support your decision!”
Donnie also showed a satisfied smile; when he decided to relocate ABC to New York, he had thought of ways to avoid being marginalized by the upper echelons of the company and made preparations.
Mark Pereira was one of Donnie’s precautions.
According to Donnie’s nature, he was bound to cultivate his own loyalists within ABC; otherwise, it was unimaginable for such a large company not to have his own people within it!
It was just that Donnie had seldom communicated with Mark Pereira directly without going through Mashang Evans, which made others believe that there was no particular relationship between Donnie and Mark Pereira.
“I’ve already discussed it with the board of directors, and once this matter is behind us, you will be appointed vice president of ABC, overseeing both the Shows Department and the Internal Affairs Department!”
If you want the horse to run, you must let it graze.
Although Mark Pereira was Donnie’s man, the benefits that should be offered still had to be granted.
Furthermore, under Mark Pereira’s management, the Shows Department indeed developed very well, with several programs achieving excellent ratings.
However, this person lacked a kind of fearlessness; within the environment of ABC, his capability was somewhat lacking, and since Mark Pereira was also one of the old-timers at the company, when it came to taking on approaching tasks, he always considered personal relationships and proprieties.
