The advent of the 87 stock market crash directly shattered the billionaire dream of Emperor Yulang!

In mid-October 1987, the global stock market crashed.

The stock market is a wreckage, the stock speculation master Xiang Zhiqiu is scarred, and Luo Xurui, who has a strong digestive function, has a temporary intestinal infarction - how can the Yulang Emperor survive.

Only when Liu Luanxiong got Wu Jianye's help could he be regarded as escaping, which can also see why Liu Luanxiong has so much respect for Wu Jianye!

First, Huang Yulang's plan to raise HK$170 million through a rights issue has failed; second, the market value of Yulang Group has plummeted by more than HK$200 million; and third, the Hang Seng Index futures, which he is optimistic about, have lost more than HK$300 million in total.

In addition to pumping back the original surplus water, Huang Yulang also had to take his Yulang stock to the bank as collateral to repay the debt.

The Financial Times, which was mainly aimed at stock market investors, was ignored and ceased operation after only 72 days of publication, setting a record for the shortest life of a newspaper in Hong Kong.

Yulang Group, which is a publishing company rather than a securities company, invests in securities with a huge amount of 470 million yuan raised mainly from the stock market, which is more than 40% of the group's market capitalization.

Shareholders complained, and the Securities Regulatory Office ordered Yulang Group to suspend trading for 6 days and accept investigation.

In May 1988, the Stock Exchange publicly reprimanded and warned Yunyun that the board of directors of Yulang Group had failed to comply with the listing rules by trading significant shares and assets without telling shareholders.

The image of Yulang Group was greatly damaged, the stock price plummeted, the correspondent banks knew that it was not good, fell into the ground, and forcibly forced debts, in order to escape the bad luck of liquidation, Huang Yulang had to reduce his weight and cash out to repay his debts.

In September 1988, Huang Yulang's shareholding in the group fell to 36.4%, and the holding was not secure.

If Luo Xurui is not a fellow villager of the Huang family, and the wound has not healed, the first person to snipe at the Yulang Group will definitely be Luo Xurui.

Probably fate arranged that Huang was only worthy of engaging in the comic industry.

The lessons of history told him that as soon as he set foot in other industries, he would be defeated and return to the comic industry, so that he could become more and more popular and make money.

Huang Yulang is "down-to-earth", focusing on comic publishing, and the market is cold after the big stock market crash, but with the golden sign of "Huang Yulang", the damage to comic publications is not great.

Seeing that the comic market in Hong Kong was becoming increasingly saturated, and the group had achieved a brilliant performance of 9% market share, Huang Yulang took the bow of the ship and actively explored overseas markets, and comic books entered the United States, Canada, RB, Wanwan, Bangzi, and other markets in Southeast Asia.

Among them, the English translation of martial arts comics is the best-selling in North America, and Huang Yulang has become a world-class comic giant.

Unexpectedly, the sniper's tentacles are poking out like sharp claws, trying to take off the emperor's crown.

In February this year, Peregrine Capital, chaired by Leung Botao, proposed a general acquisition of Yulang Group on behalf of SPA at a price of HK$0.8 per share.

The owner of the spa is publishing wizard Cheng Ching-han.

Cheng Shiyuan worked for Sing Tao Press Group, and made a name for himself a few years ago when he founded the Chinese edition of Playboy and Capital.

Zheng is also a Teochew person, there is no father and son in the shopping mall, and the friendship of fellow villagers will naturally be as thin as a piece of paper in the face of commercial interests.

This comprehensive acquisition requires 600 million in cash, which shows that Zheng's strength is not shallow.

It is said that Huang Yulang was wandering eastward at this time, enjoying a cabaret performance at a geisha house with RB publishers, and when he heard that there was a fire in the backyard, he immediately flew to Xiangjiang to organize a counterattack.

After a few rounds, Zheng Jinghan appeared to lack stamina - because a mysterious third party bought Yulang shares at a high price in the market, Zheng gradually died down.

Huang Yulang was embattled and overwhelmed.

"Who is this mysterious third party?" Wu Jianye sat on the sofa, his legs crossed, and a cigar that had been burned more than half burned in his hand.

For the comics industry, Wu Jianye has always been very thoughtful, if you just look at the comics of Xiangjiang, even if it is at the level of Huang Yulang, and it hits the ceiling of the comics industry in Xiangjiang, the market value of the head office is only more than one billion Hong Kong dollars, but if you look at the global comics industry, you will know that this is a very huge industrial chain.

Especially RB's comic industry and the United States' comic industry, the comic industry is one of the pillar industries in RB, with an annual output value of more than 10 billion, while the American comic industry is concentrated in DC, Marvel, and Dark Horse.

However, due to the current level of technology, the comic industry in the United States has not yet begun to rise, and it will not be until after 2000 that American comics will begin to conquer cities around the world with the rise of superheroes.

Wu Jianye remembered that he had read several reborn Hong Kong texts on the Internet in later generations, and there were descriptions of the comic industry, but it was a pity that Wu Jianye's understanding of comics was still limited to the content of the era of "Dragon Ball", "Slam Dunk", "Football Player", and "Youyou Baishu".

And most of these comics have already started to be serialized in RB, there is no way to plagiarize, the most important thing is that RB's comic industry has already formed a complete production chain, even if they are rich, these people will not necessarily leave their hometowns to jump to Xiangjiang to create comics.

So Wu Jianye has not paid attention to this point.

Later, after Yan Wen founded Sanmiao Comics, Wu Jianye also wanted to hold some potential comic copyrights in Xiangjiang.

For example, the "Fengyun" series that Ma Lucheng is currently creating, and the "Crazy Boy" series created by Niu Lao, the copyright of these comics belongs to Sanmiao Comics.

And Ma Lucheng's previous creation of "Chinese Heroes", because he belonged to Yulang International at that time, the copyright of "Chinese Heroes" belongs to Yulang International.

In fact, when Xiangjiang movies declined at the end of the 90s, Xiangjiang's manga movies could help Xiangjiang movies break the game, but unfortunately, at that time, the capital had left Xiangjiang, and manga movies involved huge financial support, so Xiangjiang's last hope was directly destroyed.

The movie that ended the era of Xiangjiang Films' bi-weekly era is actually a "Fengyun" movie adapted from the comics of the "Fengyun Series"!

"It has been investigated clearly, and this third party is actually Hu Amaran's Sing Tao Newspaper Group!" Yan Wen said: "Hu Amaranth has absorbed the equity of Huang Yulang Group through the United States' Xinfu Asia, and the equity has reached 30%, and another 50% is warrants. and then exchanged the warrants for the underlying shares, diluting the equity controlled by Huang Yulang. ”

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "This amaranth is really retribution!"

Yan Wen was also smiling beside him, "This Huang Yulang is actually stupid enough, he doesn't even know who his real opponent is, I got the news that this Huang Yulang's opponent is not just Amaranth, but also other people!"

Wu Jianye asked curiously, "Is there anyone else?"

Yan Wen nodded and said, " Yes, because when the stock market was bullish before, Huang Yulang was too arrogant, so there were a lot of people who offended, and now someone has maliciously acquired Yulang International, and there is no one who can help Huang Yulang, and now he only has his fellow countryman Qian Guozhong left, and this Qian Guozhong found Yu Zhi Investment before and wanted to borrow money, but I heard that this Qian Guozhong was actually dissatisfied with Huang Yulang's behavior for a long time, and this time he helped Huang Yulang borrow money, but he also wanted to gain Huang Yulang's trust, and then prepare to fight back!"

After listening to Yan Wen's narration, Wu Jianye laughed: "It seems that this Huang Yulang really has no skills to return to the sky!"

Yan Wen nodded and said, "Yes, and Qian Guozhong also told us that Huang Yulang was suspected of making fake accounts to get cash." ”

Wu Jianye: "Since this is the case, let's do it, and after the acquisition of Yulang International, sell all the useless companies, and only keep their core comic business!"

Yan Wen agreed: "I think so too, what about the amaranth?"

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "You can handle this matter yourself, can't you deal with a Sing Tao Newspaper Group?"

Sing Tao Newspaper and Oriental Newspaper have always been the two largest newspaper groups in Xiangjiang, even Master Jin's "Ming Pao" has no way to compare with these two, but just as every industry just mentioned has a ceiling, Xiangjiang's newspaper group also has its own ceiling, even if the two newspapers are strong, there is no way to compare with Yiwang Group, if Yanwen can't even deal with Sing Tao Newspaper Group, then he has been working in vain in the past few years!

Yan Wen said confidently: "Brother, don't worry!"

Wu Jianye thought for a while and said: "By the way, Gong Bin's parents have been saying that they are old recently, and now you can buy the "Hong Kong Island Daily" under their name directly in the name of Yiwang Group." ”

Yan Wen proposed: "Now Yaoguang Group has ATV, Fengge Entertainment, and Yiwang Group has Sanmiao Comics, if you add "Hong Kong Island Daily", brother, can you consider setting up a media group?"

Wu Jianye fell into deep thought, Yan Wen's proposal was very pertinent for Wu Jianye, and now his entertainment industry in Xiangjiang is somewhat scattered, belonging to Yaoguang Group and Yiwang Group respectively, which is not conducive to the development of the entire entertainment industry.

If you listen to Yan Wen's suggestion and set up your own media group, then you can perfectly integrate your own entertainment industry in the entire Southeast Asia, and it will be very good news for the development of these companies.

"If you set up a media group, the person in charge is a tricky problem!" Mr. Wu said.

Yan Wen: "I think Feng Ge Entertainment's Jiang Zhiqiang is good, although this person's management experience is still a little lacking, but under the escort of the two major groups of Yaoguang Group and Yiwang Group, he can be given a buffer period for a period of time!"

Wu Jianye thought for a while and said, "Okay, you go and discuss this matter with Zhou Tao, and come up with a specific and feasible plan when the time comes, and we will discuss it in detail at that time!"

Yan Wen smiled: "I know!"

Wu Jianye instructed: "Don't worry too much about the acquisition of Yulang International, the most important thing for Yiwang Group now is to get Standard Chartered Bank in your hands and complete its privatization!"

Yan Wen: "Don't worry, I can tell the difference!"

The acquisition of Yulang International is just a handy thing, and the complete privatization of Standard Chartered Bank is the biggest task of Yiwang Group this year.

It was already early in the morning after the two finished talking about work, Yan Wen thought about Qian Sisi, so he rushed back overnight, and when Wu Jianye returned to the bedroom, Gong Yan had already rested.

Wu Jianye went straight to bed.

When I opened my eyes the next day, it was already past ten o'clock.

After eating the breakfast prepared for him, Wu Jianye went to ATV, and has been busy sorting out the business of Xiangjiang in the past few days, Wu Jianye has not yet watched the editing of "The Legend of the New White Lady".

When I came to the editing room, I saw Zhao Le and the team he recruited on ATV, working intensively, "The Legend of the New White Lady" belongs to a mythological drama, not just editing, but also some post-production special effects and dubbing work.

However, compared to this TV series, Xiangjiang's special effects company is enough to complete these tasks, and when I was editing in China before, I was going to hand over the special effects work to Xiangjiang's company, but now it's okay, I directly moved the editing of "The Legend of the New White Lady" to Xiangjiang, and Wu Jianye can also give them better orders.

Although Xiangjiang Films dominated the whole of Asia in the 10s, and in terms of special effects, there was also a Xiantao Digital to support the façade, but with the decline of Xiangjiang Films, Xiantao Digital also gradually declined.

Later, Xiangjiang's special effects company was left, and the 'PO Chaoting' special effects company established by Xie Tingfeng and the special effects company of 'ONE COOL' established by Principal Gu supported the façade.

But it's still the same sentence, the current Xiangjiang special effects company is enough to deal with the special effects of "The Legend of the New White Lady".

After a day at ATV, Wu Jian returned to Repulse Bay at night.

Wu Qichen is being taken by the nanny at home, and Gong Bin is also studying his own career, Gong Bin fashion magazine has begun to publish, and at the same time, she herself has officially established an underwear brand company after listening to Wu Jianye's suggestion, before because she wanted to give birth to Wu Qichen, this matter has been delayed, and now Wu Qichen no longer needs her to take care of her 24 hours, so she began to work hard for her career.

Wu Jianye sat next to Gong Bin and watched her seriously look at some of the company's reports.

Wu Jianye said: "Underwear brand, I don't think you should hire a designer in Xiangjiang, directly hire RB and top designers in Europe and the United States with a high salary, don't worry about the cost, the more advanced this thing, the more women like it, and then build a model team, the world's catwalk, it will not take a few years to become a world-renowned underwear brand!"

Gong Bin put down the pen in his hand and asked with a smile, "What about fashion magazines?"

Wu Jianye said with a smile: "It's simple, it's better to use money, find the most well-known designers in the world, publish your fashion opinions in the magazine, and then contact the major fashion top luxury brands, give them money, first raise the popularity of the magazine, and then think about making money!"

Gong Bin was slightly stunned, he always felt that what Wu Jianye said was a little too simple, but after thinking about it for a while, the simple and crude method of smashing money with money seemed to really work!

"Does that cost a lot of money?" Gong joked.

Wu Jianye took Gong Bin into his arms and said with a smile: "I will invest 50 million US dollars in the early stage, and you can toss it as you want!"

In 89 years, it is more than enough to spend 50 million dollars to open the brand influence of a fashion magazine and the preliminary work of an underwear brand!

Gong Zhen nodded and said, "Okay then!"

The two were tired of being crooked for a while, and Gong Bin suggested that Wu Jianye accompany her to watch TV, and Wu Jianye had no opinion on this, but Gong Bin proposed to watch "Fengshen List".

Putting the tape into the VCR, the two of them lay on the bed and watched the TV 'seriously'.

However, Wu Jianye watched it for a while, and thought of the acquisition of Yulang International that Yan Wen said before, and an idea suddenly rose in his heart......
