Chapter 320: Buying Sing Tao News Corporation?
"Yes boss, the crisis of Sing Tao News Group is very serious, to the point of life and death. ”
Yan Wenhan smiled and said solemnly.
Seeing that the boss Xia Yu's expression became serious, Yan Wenhan continued to tell what he knew.
"The most fundamental problem faced by Sing Tao News Group is the lack of money, and the resulting series of situations can also be summarized in three aspects. ”
"The first is to be collected by the bank, and now the bank account has been frozen, I heard that Sing Tao News Group has taken loans in many banks, the largest one is Heung Kong Commercial Bank, a loan of 10 million Hong Kong dollars, and now many banks are asking for money. ”
"The second is that there are many advertisers who claim that because of the fraudulent sales, which has involved fraud, many advertisers have sent people to stay downstairs of Sing Tao News Group, asking them to return the advertising money, and even more demanding that Sing Tao News Group double the compensation for losses, otherwise they will sue the court for commercial fraud. ”
"The last point is also the most serious, now Sing Tao News Group is still in a state of suspension and rectification, all its employees are out of business, and now the accounts are frozen, and there is no way to pay salaries, and its employees are already restless, according to the current situation, if they want to reopen and do not solve the problems of advertisers and banks, even if the Hong Kong government lets it go, it is estimated that it is far away. ”
"So now it's a dead end, and the only way to survive is to immediately come up with money to solve the problems of advertisers and banks, so that we can find a way to resume publication." ”
But with the current situation of Sing Tao News Group, no one will dare to lend money to Hu Xian, so she will think of selling the company to get out, otherwise, if it drags on, not only will the company go bankrupt, but Hu Xian will even face prison. ”
After listening to Yan Wenhan's words, Xia Yu's eyes were as deep as the starry sky, and he contemplated it.
According to Yan Wenhan, Sing Tao News Group's life is really difficult, to put it bluntly, it has reached the point of life and death.
If you don't come up with money to solve the problem, you won't see any hope of resuming the publication, and you won't be able to pay your employees' salaries, and if you don't see any hope, you'll definitely leave your job.
But as soon as the employee leaves and the team disperses, it will really be completely finished, and it will be useless to take out the money at that time.
So as Yan Wenhan said, Hu Xian's only way is to immediately take out the money and pay back the bank, then solve the problem of advertisers, and finally find a way to let his newspaper resume publishing and continue to make money.
But here comes the problem again!
Even if its newspapers are republished, with the black history of Sing Tao News Group's sales fraud, which advertiser would dare to advertise?
And also take into account the possibility of sales plummeting at the time!
There is no advertising revenue, sales are declining, and the company's operation has to be expensed, so what kind of money can you make just by selling newspapers?
Therefore, even if the publication resumes at that time, the value of Sing Tao News Group will be greatly reduced, and it is good to be able to survive, but if you want to turn over, you don't know what year and month it will take!
"Bankruptcy and prison are hanging above his head, Hu Xian thinks of selling the company, it is really very possible!"
Xia Yu thought secretly in his heart.
Finding a powerful buyer and transferring all the risks and debts to the new boss at the same time, and getting a sum of money by the way, is very different from bankruptcy and jail time!
Of course, the premise is that Hu Xian can find someone who has both the strength and the willingness to take the risk to take over the company!
And Xia Yu can say unceremoniously that he has this ability and strength!
If Sing Tao News Group can be acquired, it will be ......
Thinking of this, a gleam flashed in Xia Yu's eyes.
"Did Sing Tao News Group release this news on its own initiative, or did you send someone to secretly inquire about it?"
Xia Yu asked solemnly, he had to figure this out before he could make correct thinking and judgments.
Yan Wenhan was stunned for a moment, frowned slightly and thought about it and said, "It's the news leaked by Sing Tao News Group, but in my opinion, it should have been leaked on purpose." ”
"Why do you think so?"
Xia Yu asked.
"Because I also learned a piece of gossip, I heard that Hu Xian was furious in the company and scolded the British, presumably there must be British people behind the scenes. ”
"Those few advertisers who are stubborn and unwilling to let go are instructed by the British, unless she sells the company, but I heard that the price is too low, Hu Xian is unwilling to sell. ”
So I guess it was Hu Xian's deliberate message, either to attract more buyers, or to new buyers to pay a high price, or to force the British to pay a high price. ”
Yan Wenhan said with a serious expression, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Xia Yu and waited for the boss's order.
Xia Yu frowned slightly, and his brain turned quickly.
"British?"
"It's very possible for the British to fall into the well and take advantage of the fire to rob, but who is it? He actually forced such an arrogant person as Hu Xian to bow his head, and he could only secretly spread the news, there are so many powerful Britons, which one is it?"
"Wen Han, do you know who wants to take advantage of the fire to rob?"
Xia Yu asked.
"I don't know about this, but I have sent someone to inquire before I came, and I don't know if I can inquire. ”
Yan Wenhan said truthfully.
Xia Yu nodded slightly and didn't ask more, pondered deeply, thought for a while and said, "Forget it, it doesn't matter who it is, the important thing is that we have to find a way to buy Sing Tao News Group." ”
"Buy?"
Yan Wenhan's eyes were very surprised, he really didn't think to buy it.
As soon as he got the news, he had a thought in his mind: Sing Tao News Group no longer has any threat, the hegemony of Jiuding Newspaper Company has been completely consolidated, and the media industry will be the world of Jiuding Newspaper Company in the future.
He didn't think about buying it because he didn't think it was worth it, and it was too risky to buy it, so there was no need to buy it in the case of Jiuding Newspaper Company.
Besides, even if Jiuding Newspaper Company wants to buy it, it's hard to say whether Hu Xian is willing to sell it!
You must know that Sing Tao News Group has come to this point, and tracing back to the source, it is still to blame Jiuding Newspaper Company, the two sides are enemies, and it is estimated that Hu Xian is not willing to sell to Jiuding Newspaper Company.
"Boss, is this possible to buy? And it's not worth it, is it? ”
Yan Wenhan asked puzzled.
The corners of Xia Yu's mouth hooked up and said, "How do you know if you don't try?
"As for whether it's worth it or not, as long as it gets into our hands, it's worth it, and the price can only be known when we talk about it, and it's worth it until we talk about it!"
Xia Yu really wants to buy Sing Tao News Group.
High cost?
The price is cut until it is reasonable!
High risk?
It varies from person to person, it is a huge risk for Hu Xian, and it is pediatric to Xia Yu, and he can easily resolve it!
Moreover, it is better for Sing Tao News Group to be in his hands than in the hands of others, at least the potential threat will disappear, and its own strength can be enhanced.
Even though "Sing Tao Daily" and "English Standard" are homogeneous with the newspapers under Jiuding Newspaper Company, but in his hands, Xia Yu has a way to rectify it.
The media market is so big that one or two hundred newspapers in Xiangjiang have to be accommodated, and there are more newspapers that are homogeneous with the newspapers of Jiuding Newspaper Company, but what can be done?
As long as you improve the quality of newspapers and do a good job of positioning, wouldn't it be better to grab the market of other newspapers?
Or the newspaper is revised to avoid homogeneous competition with other newspapers under Jiuding Newspaper Company, and if you can't beat "Jiuding Daily" and "Fengyun Daily", you can't beat other newspapers?
With Jiuding News Agency in hand, Xia Yu is not worried about not having high-quality news to publish at all, but only worried that there are not enough newspapers in his hand and not enough pages to report all the news!
"Boss, I'll try it right away. ”
Seeing the attitude of the boss, although Yan Wenhan was skeptical, he nodded in agreement.
After a while, Yan Wenhan went out full of concern, and when the morning was about to pass, Yan Wenhan came to the office again, and he still had an unbelievable look in his eyes.
"Boss, I went to test Hu Xian, but I didn't expect her to refuse, but said that she wanted to meet you. ”
Yan Wenhan reported.
If you don't refuse, it's possible, and if you want to meet the boss Xia Yu, the hope is even greater, as long as the negotiation is good, it's really possible to buy it.
What the specific situation will be at that time depends on the boss's means!
"See me?"
"No problem, promise her, and the place and time are up to her. ”
The corners of Xia Yu's mouth hooked a touch of arc, and said easily, let Hu Xian set the time and place, she must be able to feel Xia Yu's kindness, even if she is angry in her heart, she can eliminate some of it when the time comes, which is more beneficial to the negotiation.
"Okay, I'll get back to her right away!"
Yan Wenhan nodded heavily and said.
"Go, hold on!"
Xia Yu nodded with a smile.
