Chapter 177: Pearson Education Group (Hall Owner Lu Tianxiao's Title Update)
"Bang Bang!"
Xia Yu applauded with satisfaction.
Gavin Peter really didn't disappoint him, although that's it, the truth is actually very simple, if someone else said so, Xia Yu wouldn't pay too much attention to it, but now it's Gavin Peter, it's another matter.
Now Gavin Peter is only a deputy manager of the Xiangjiang branch of Penguin Publishing Group, and he has not yet made any dazzling achievements, and he is not favored by the senior management of the head office.
But with the memories of later generations, Xia Yu knows the power of Gavin Peter.
He's an acquirer, and he likes to make acquisitions, and after acquiring a company, it can show the value of the company and not bury it in his hands.
He later served as the president of Penguin Publishing Group, and worked until Xia Yu crossed, and he was the president of the group for decades, and his ability was very outstanding.
Penguin Publishing Group may not be familiar to many people, but when it comes to its background, it will definitely not be unfamiliar.
Penguin Publishing Group is a subsidiary of Pearson, UK, and is the world's most famous educational publishing group company, ranking first in the world.
If you may not have heard of the name Pearson, but his other name, Pearson Education, is something that many people have definitely heard.
Longman, a well-known company in China, is a subsidiary of Pearson Education Group in China, and many people should have learned and used "New Concept English" and "Longman Modern English Dictionary".
In addition, as the world's largest educational publishing group, Pearson Education Group also has two powerful financial newspapers, the Financial Times and The Economist!
Yan Wenhan previously worked at the Financial Times for four years.
The Economist is known as the Four Kings of Financial Magazines, along with Fortune, Forbes and BusinessWeek.
Under Gavin Peter's hands, Penguin Publishing Group has grown to become the 10th largest multinational company in the world media industry and the world's most famous English-language book publisher, publishing mainly non-works, as well as children's books, with 25,000 books in print.
In addition, the most interesting thing is the series of acquisitions he has led, and he has a unique vision, each of which has played an important role in reinforcing Penguin Publishing Group, and after the acquisition, the acquired companies will not be negatively affected and can still grow rapidly.
In his previous life, two of the most glaring acquisitions he led were the acquisition of the famous American Putnam Company, which made Penguin-Putnam the second largest English-language book publisher in the world.
The first is Penguin Publishing Group.
So the first and second are all in the bag, but the cow's are not.
The second is the acquisition of the British Dolin Kindersley Company in 2000, which is a well-known publisher of non-graphic books in the United Kingdom, with the goal of "knowledge affinity", expanding color books into reference books and various non-literary books such as life, art, travel, gardening, cooking, and preschool education. His illustrated publishing style has influenced the world publishing industry. Its travelogues, popular science and encyclopedia books, practical life books, children's books, etc., sell well all over the world.
After this acquisition, Penguin Publishing Group's publishing business covers all kinds of books, and the publishing and distribution network covers the world, establishing its position as the supremacy of the publishing industry, and its influence is amazing!
It can be said that the Penguin Publishing Group can achieve such a great achievement, Gavin Peter is indispensable!
However, it is now 1978, and Pearson Education Group has just acquired Penguin Publishing Group for a few years, and Gavin Peter has not yet been excavated, causing him to run in front of Xia Yu.
If it were a few years later, when it made its fortune, he served as the president of Penguin Publishing Group, and Xia Yu wanted to poach people, not to mention the door, not even a window.
Now Gavin Peter is forty years old, and he already has the ability he should have, and he is just a chance to turn a carp into a dragon!
But in this life, Xia Yu wants him to degenerate in Jiuding Book Publishing Company and lead the company to develop into a world-class outstanding publishing company.
"I completely agree with your salary requirements, and if you develop the company to my satisfaction, you have a great chance of getting equity awards, but how much you can get depends on how much you can do!"
"In addition, I give you the greatest rights in the management of the company, unless you make a major mistake, I will not easily interfere with your operation. ”
Xia Yu looked at him solemnly and said categorically.
After that, looking at him expectantly, Xia Yu believed that Gavin Peter should not refuse, after all, the money and power were given to him, not only the future is promising, but there is also a place for him to display his talents, as long as he is not stupid, he will definitely agree.
Sure enough, as Xia Yu expected, Gavin Peter was a little stunned, after all, this interview was a bit sloppy, and he agreed on the spot after only asking two questions, and didn't let him go back and wait for news, but he quickly came back to his senses and smiled.
He stood up, bowed slightly to Xia Yu, and said respectfully: "Boss, I will definitely not let you down!"
"You're welcome to join us!"
Xia Yu said with a smile, and then stretched out his hand.
"Thank you!" Gavin Peter also stretched out his hand to shake Xia Yu and said solemnly.
After the interview was successful, Xia Yu took him to the company and signed the contract, and then let him deal with his own affairs, so that he could come to the company to report and be responsible for the construction of Jiuding Book Publishing Company.
As for the remaining two talents, out of politeness, although Xia Yu had already recruited, he still notified them and asked if he was willing to be the deputy manager, but unfortunately they were unwilling, and Xia Yu couldn't help it.
But with one of the most powerful, Xia Yu has already gained a lot!
With the arrival of a big bull, the future of Jiuding Book Publishing Company is promising, and Xia Yu can also breathe a sigh of relief.
Next, I only hope that the talents that Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. needs will come soon.
......
When I returned home in the evening, after eating, Xia Yu rarely sat on the sofa and watched TV with his family, which was TVB's Jade Channel.
This point in time is the prime viewing period, and it is TVB's main drama that is broadcast, and the family watches it with relish.
Soon, the episode ended, followed by an advertisement.
When he saw this advertisement, Xia Yu was stunned, it turned out to be an advertisement for Xiangjiang Ocean Park, but he didn't expect Ocean Park to spend all his time on advertising, which was interesting.
"Wow, it's Ocean Park, I heard my classmate Wen Li say that there are a lot of fun things in it, not only can you see all kinds of marine and land animals, but also a big amusement park, and it's so beautiful on TV!"
Looking at the overlook video and the finely cut pictures taken on TV, Xia Xiaomei couldn't help but say, with some longing in her eyes.
"There should be sharks and whales in the marine park, I don't know how many species there are?"
Xia Ming also said that he had never been out to sea with his parents, and he occasionally saw a whale stranded on the beach, so he didn't know many fish.
Looking at Yan Hong again, although he didn't speak, his eyes also showed a look of longing.
Xia Yu smiled slightly and said, "Then I'll take you to play this Saturday, do you want to go?"
"Really?"
The three children looked at Xia Yu in unison, blinked their eyes and asked.
"Really!"
Xia Yu nodded with a smile.
"Oh yes, brother is so nice!"
"Great!"
The three children couldn't help but cheer, and their faces were full of excited smiles.
Looking at their excited looks, Xia Yu seemed to be infected as well, and laughed silently.
