Hearing Lei Juekun's words, Jiang Ran couldn't help but be stunned, and said strangely: "Uncle Kun, how do you say this, I have something else to do with him, and it has nothing to do with his real estate development in the mainland." ”

Lei Juekun glanced at Jiang Ran and said, "Oh, Liu Tian has been very successful in doing real estate on the other side of the strait in the past two years, and has also established close ties with the local government of the mainland. ”

"Uncle Kun, you also think too highly of me, just my little capital, the mainland may not be able to look at it, even if it does, before the mainland's policies and regulations are thoroughly implemented, I don't dare to invest in the mainland easily." Although Jiang Ran knew that the mainland's reform and opening up would continue and succeed in the future, many policies were changing in the process, and with the little capital he had accumulated, it was possible that a small policy change would cause bankruptcy.

"Then what is your purpose in looking for Liu Tian?" Lei Juekun wondered.

"Uncle Kun, do you know the "Daily Daily", I am interested in this newspaper. Jiang Ran said as he walked with Lei Juekun.

"I know that "Tiantian Daily" has a history of several decades, but I basically don't read this newspaper, why is this Liu Tianzhuo's industry?" Lei Juekun stopped and asked Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran said affirmatively: "Yes, now "Tiantian Daily" is Liu Tian's industry, he obtained the ownership of the newspaper in 1977, and the newspaper has developed very well under his leadership in recent years, so I would like to ask Uncle Kun to help deliver a message." ”

"Since this newspaper is developing well now, I'm afraid Liu Tian won't be willing to sell it, right?"

"I just refused directly because I was worried about Liu Tian, so I wanted to ask Uncle Kun, a senior, to help me turn around. ”

Jiang Ran's flattering expression on his face made Lei Juekun cry and laugh, "Ah Ran, you are also the boss of your own business, you don't need such a flattering expression, it seems that if I don't help you today, you will still rely on me." ”

Jiang Ran nodded and said to Lei Juekun with a smile: "Uncle Kun, how dare I rely on you? Isn't there no way, you are my elder again, don't you come to trouble you?"

"Okay! I can send you a message, but whether it works out or not depends on your ability. Lei Juekun felt that just pulling a string had no effect on himself, so he agreed casually, and then asked: "Ah Ran, if you don't continue to develop in movies, how can you think of investing in a newspaper?"

"Uncle Kun, I'm not like you have a face in Hong Kong, my business is mainly for retail leasing, and there are intersections with black and white, and I don't want to buy a newspaper with a certain influence, so that some people won't go too far in some things. Jiang Ran explained with a helpless expression.

Lei Juekun nodded understandingly, and said: "It is indeed easy to encounter problems in this area when doing business now, if you have a newspaper in your hand, you can indeed increase your influence and not lose a way to protect yourself." ”

On the third day after Lei Juekun agreed to help set up the line, Jiang Ran met Liu Tianjiao in a tea restaurant. Liu Tian founded a haberdashery retail store in 1950, after years of development, it has become a group of large-scale trading groups that are mainly engaged in retail, in the last year or two he has been involved in real estate, and the commercial housing developed by the Shenzhen government is in short supply in Hong Kong, perhaps it is precisely because of this success, so he increased his investment in real estate, and invested in hotels in Shenzhen, but historical facts have proved that his investment is a wrong choice, because the winter of real estate is coming.

"Mr. Liu, it's a pleasure to meet you. Jiang Ran greeted Liu Tian with a warm face.

"Mr. Jiang, he is really young and promising, and he has created a big career at such a young age. Liu Tian looked at Jiang Ran with some curiosity, seeing that Jiang Ran was about twenty years old, he couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous, he didn't know what happened to Lei Juekun asking him out to meet this young man, but for Lei Juekun's face, Liu Tian still praised quietly.

After meeting and chatting for a few words, Jiang Ran turned the topic to "Tiantian Daily" and said to Liu Tian: "Mr. Liu, under your leadership, "Tiantian Daily" has made a huge improvement compared to when you first took over, I am more interested in the newspaper, I don't know if Mr. Liu has any plans to transfer Tiantian." ”

"Oh, Mr. Jiang wants the "Daily Daily" in my hand?" Liu Tian looked at Jiang Ran with some surprise, and then continued: "Mr. Jiang, you also know that this newspaper was redeveloped in my hands, and now that its development is getting better and better, I am reluctant to transfer it. ”

Before Jiang Ran could speak, Lei Juekun was beside him and said, "Why should Mr. Liu be in a hurry to refuse, I believe that everything has its value, since Ah Ran wants to buy Tiantian, he will definitely satisfy you in terms of price." ”

After listening to Lei Juekun's words, Liu Tian did not refuse immediately, but lowered his head and drank tea while considering the impact of the transfer of Tiantian's gains and losses, to tell the truth Liu Tian is a standard businessman, and "Tiantian Daily" is not a very important role in his business map, it is just an investment, so after thinking about it for a while, he said to Jiang Ran:

"It is not impossible for Mr. Jiang to buy "Tian Tian Daily", but the price cannot be less than 30 million. ”

"Mr. Liu, now the sales volume of "Tian Tian Daily" is less than 90,000, and the newspaper industry in Hong Kong ranks in the middle and upper reaches, and the newspaper industry in Hong Kong is becoming more and more competitive, the advertising revenue is relatively low, and the profitability is not strong, so your offer of 30 million is too high. Although Jiang Ran wants to buy "Tiantian Daily", he will not be wronged.

Liu Tian himself knew that the price would be higher than the actual price, but he did not intend to give in easily, and after taking a sip of tea, he said to Jiang Ran: "Mr. Jiang, do you know how much the newspaper sold when I first accepted the newspaper? Not even 10,000 copies, and now it has only been four or five years, and I can be sure that the sales of the newspaper will exceed 90,000 copies this year.

"Mr. Liu is right, in the past few years when you took over, Tiantian's sales have indeed grown rapidly, but we must also see that his growth trend is slowing down, and now it has increased by a few thousand points a year, and it will definitely be more difficult to increase newspaper sales in the future. So, Mr. Liu, you can't apply the previous growth situation to the current point in time. Jiang Ran refuted unhurriedly.

This time, Liu Tian didn't answer Jiang Ran immediately, he knew that what Jiang Ran said was very reasonable, and it was impossible to continue to develop at a high speed every day. The next step may be very good, or in a few years it may be able to catch up with the release of first-class newspapers. However, it is also possible to encounter a bottleneck in development immediately, and when the time comes, not to mention development, there may be regression. Judging from the current growth trend of newspapers, it may not be long before the bottleneck appears in the daily newspaper.

After weighing it, Liu Tian said: "Twenty-five million, if Mr. Jiang agrees, we can sign the contract immediately." ”

After Jiang Ran thought about it for a while, although he felt that it was still a bit expensive, he finally agreed: "No problem, it's only twenty-five million." ”

After Jiang Ran and Liu Tian reached an oral transfer agreement on "Tiantian Daily", all the formalities were completed in the next two days, and "Tiantian Daily" officially became Jiang Ran's industry.

However, Jiang Ran couldn't help but spend a lot of liquid cash in order to get the "Daily Daily", and he also borrowed eight million from the bank, and the cash at his disposal was only three or four million, but fortunately, it was now mid-July, and the store could provide more than one million more cash at the end of the month, and Jiang Ran had no other investment intentions for the time being.

In terms of the development of the clothing brand affiliated to the "Oriental Charm" magazine planned earlier, because the magazine itself has good revenue, Jiang Ran only needs to invest one or two million to develop in the early stage. After more than a month of preparation, the magazine has determined the OEM cooperative clothing manufacturers, and is now improving the sales channels.
