Chapter 30 Successful Acquisition

When the other shareholders of the Holy Flame Publishing House heard Shangguan Xiaobao say that the Phoenix Society was going to buy them, they smiled disapprovingly at first, thinking that Shangguan Xiaobao was joking.

It wasn't until they saw Shangguan Xiaobao's serious expression that they knew that it might be true.

"Dongyuan, you're not joking. Even if their Order of the Phoenix has been developing rapidly for a while, it is not as strong as our Holy Flame. How could they think of buying us?"

A shareholder asked Shangguan Xiaobao with some curiosity.

Indeed, in the eyes of most people, although the Holy Flame Publishing House can only rank second in the Xiangjiang comics market, it is also unattainable for the upstart of the Phoenix Society. Few people would have thought that the Order of the Phoenix would want to buy the Holy Flame Publishing House with a small swallow.

Shangguan Xiaobao replied with kindness: "It was their boss Wu Ming's idea. ”

Then Shangguan Xiaobao told the conversation between himself and Zhang Dexin.

After listening, everyone fell silent. Recently, Wu Ming relied on the arcade of Xingchen Entertainment to earn tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in a month, which can be said to be a boiling story. Since Wu Ming wants to buy their publishing house, the Phoenix Society does have the economic strength to swallow the big with a small one.

Several shareholders were a little moved at this time, and now that the Holy Flame Publishing House has been suppressed by Yulang International, life is getting sadter day by day, and it is not as profitable as before. They tried a lot of things to get a game back, but they all failed. Now that a rich man wants to buy their shares, they might as well take the opportunity to cash out and get out of this quagmire.

Seeing that everyone was a little excited, Shangguan Xiaobao struck while the iron was hot, added another force, and said, "I am ready to agree to Zhang Dexin's acquisition proposal." ”

Everyone heard that Shangguan Xiaobao, the principal, had already agreed, and they were no longer reserved, and they all spoke: "Then let's talk to Zhang Dexin, if the price is right, it's not impossible." ”

With the help of Shangguan Xiaobao, after several days of intense negotiations, the two sides finally reached a unified opinion.

The Order of the Phoenix wholly acquired all the shares of the Holy Flame Publishing House with a total investment of 14 million. At the same time, Wu Ming will personally give 5% of the shares of the Order of the Phoenix to Shangguan Xiaobao, and Shangguan Xiaobao will stay in the Order of the Phoenix for 20 years, which is equivalent to selling the rest of his life to Wu Ming.

As for Shangguan Xiaobao's apprentices, they also chose to stay after Shangguan Xiaobao and Zhang Dexin, coupled with the good treatment promised by the Phoenix Society. Although he did not choose to stay in the Order of the Phoenix for the rest of his life like Shangguan Xiaobao, he also signed a long-term contract of at least ten years.

All those who sign a long-term contract will have a guaranteed monthly salary of 5,000 Hong Kong dollars, and if they draw any popular comics, they will also get a lot of royalty sharing. The treatment is much better than before, and now that they are being driven away, they may not want to leave.

Such a big news naturally can't escape the tracking and reporting of the media. The day after the contract was signed, it made headlines in major newspapers.

"Phoenix Publishing House acquired Flame Publishing House and became a new rival of Yulang International. Since then, the Hong Kong comic industry has entered a new era of competition between the two powers, who will have the last laugh in the end?"

"The super genius Wu Ming accepted the veteran Shangguan Xiaobao and wanted to compete with Huang Yulang for the world. How should Huang Yulang resist the attack of this two powerful enemies, one young and one old?"β€”Oriental Daily

"The Phoenix Society and the Holy Flame Society have joined forces, who else in the entire comics industry can win the world?" - "Sing Tao Daily"

As soon as the news came out, the entire Xiangjiang was in an uproar, and everyone didn't expect that Shangguan Xiaobao, an old generation of comic book masters, would actually join Wu Ming, a hairy boy.

However, thinking about the confrontation between Shangguan Xiaobao and Huang Yulang for so many years, it is not difficult to understand the reason why Shangguan Xiaobao made such a decision.

In the chairman's office of Yulang International, Huang Yulang was venting wildly. The secretary standing outside the door heard the sound of various throwing things from table tennis from time to time inside, coupled with the roar of anger, so he could only leave far away, not daring to go in to persuade him.

"Wu Ming, you little devil is really damned!"

"And Shangguan Xiaobao, you old thing, you don't want any face, you actually go to kneel and lick Wu Ming's little ghost. ”

I saw Huang Yulang with a crazy expression, tore the newspaper in his hand to shreds, and then threw it into the air indiscriminately.

"Ahh

After Huang Yulang vented, he finally calmed down a little.

But after a while, the hateful faces of Wu Ming and Shangguan Xiaobao resurfaced in Huang Yulang's mind. Thinking of them laughing at themselves behind their backs, the expression on Huang Yulang's face grew more angry.

Thinking of those media who often criticize the cartoons they draw are too violent, but they praise Wu Ming's little ghost's cartoons for being healthy and uplifting, and they are more suitable for people to read than their own cartoons. He suddenly lost his breath, grabbed a glass on the table and smashed it to the ground, shattering it.

Then he also roared out of his mouth at the same time a Xiangjiang dialect.

"Wu Ming, you are a street boy, lose your mother. ”

……

Wu Ming naturally didn't know that Huang Yulang was cursing him madly behind his back. Even if he knew, he didn't care. In his opinion, sooner or later, the Order of the Phoenix will dominate the comic market in Hong Kong and go global. At that time, Huang Yulang will just be a lost dog.

After school in the afternoon, Wu Ming rushed to the Order of the Phoenix in a non-stop car. Then quickly rush to work on the manga of "Overdrive YOYO".

A few days ago, Wu Ming patronized to Xingchen Entertainment Game Company to give lessons to those employees, teaching some hardware and game software development knowledge and various skills from later generations. I completely forgot that tomorrow is the day when "Speeding YOYO" will be released, and the manuscript of "Speeding YOYO" is only two words. In the past, every time Wu Ming's comics were released, at least three or four words of content, so Wu Ming could only draw as much as he could.

"Xiao Ming, you can also put more snacks on our Phoenix Society, fortunately, you found it in time. Otherwise, when it is released tomorrow, people will not be able to see your new manga, and it will be funny. ”

Zhang Dexin sat aside and complained about Wu Ming, and recently put his mind on Xingchen Entertainment. I don't care much about them.

"This is why the boss can rush the manuscript so easily, no wonder your Phoenix Society used to release so many words every week. It turns out that the boss draws comics so fast, and the quality can be guaranteed. It's the most powerful person I've ever seen in my life. ”

Today, I specially came to the Phoenix Society to meet Wu Ming, the new owner's Shangguan Xiaobao, and saw that Wu Ming's speed in drawing comics was so inhuman, and his face couldn't help but show a shocked expression.

Wu Ming responded while drawing the comics: "Where, Mr. Kuang is polite, I have already conceived this in my mind, so I can draw it so quickly." ”

Shangguan Xiaobao was still full of admiration, and said: "That's also amazing, sooner or later, the boss will become the first person recognized in the comic industry in Xiangjiang." ”

Zhang Dexin also had an expression of approval, obviously he also agreed with Shangguan Xiaobao's words.

Wu Ming was unmoved by Shangguan Xiaobao's praise, he would not get carried away because he dominated the small place of Xiangjiang.

"It's not a big deal to be the king and hegemon in Xiangjiang, what I want is to go to the world, develop the Order of the Phoenix into a world-renowned comic giant, and export our Chinese culture to other countries. Let everyone know that we Chinese are no worse than others. I also established Stars Entertainment Game Company to achieve this goal. ”

Shangguan Xiaobao and Zhang Dexin were stunned when they heard Wu Ming's bold words, they didn't expect that Wu Ming was just a child, and he would have such ambitions.

After coming back to their senses, Shangguan Xiaobao and Zhang Dexin were also full of enthusiasm, if they could really develop the Order of the Phoenix into a world comic giant, they would not be in vain.

"Since the boss has such great ambitions, we will definitely try to help the boss. ”

Wu Ming nodded and expressed his gratitude.

"When our Order of the Phoenix becomes famous in the world, Mr. Kwong and Uncle Zhang will naturally be known to the world, so I hope that the two of them can support them in the future. ”

Shangguan Xiaobao and Zhang Dexin said in unison: "That's nature." ”

"By the way, how long will it take for the Holy Flame Press to be fully merged into the Order of the Phoenix, and it must be integrated as soon as possible. Soon I had a new plan to implement. Only the integrated Order of the Phoenix will have enough strength to complete my plan. ”

Zhang Dexin thought for a while and replied, "It will take about three or four days to be fully integrated." ”

Shangguan Xiaobao also asked a little impatiently: "Could it be that the plan you said is the boss referring to the establishment of a comic weekly?"

The main reason why Shangguan Xiaobao joined the Order of the Phoenix is that Zhang Dexin said that Wu Ming would establish a serialization platform, and now I heard Wu Ming say that he has a new plan, so how can he sit still.

Wu Ming's answer did not disappoint Shangguan Xiaobao.

"Yes, my new plan is to start a weekly manga like Weekly Shonen Jump. When the time comes, Mr. Kwong will have to worry a lot, and I am going to let Mr. Kwong you be the editor-in-chief of this comic weekly. ”

Shangguan Xiaobao stood up excitedly.

"As long as it's for the purpose of establishing a comic weekly, I'm someone and let the boss call you at will. ”

After chatting for a while, Shangguan Xiaobao and Zhang Dexin both left. I'm going to get busy with the merger of the two publishing houses.

Wu Ming continued to work hard to catch up with the draft of "Overspeed YOYO", and finally spent more than three hours to draw three words, and made up the content of the first four words.

Then the Order of the Phoenix fell into a hurry, working overtime to print the first single book of "Overspeed YOYO". Then it will be immediately sent to some bookstores that have not yet closed, and the remaining ones that have closed will be delivered early the next morning.

Wu Ming also returned home at eight o'clock in the evening because of this, and was scolded by his mother Li Feng. Wu Ming is also easy to say, plus his father Wu Bingan pleaded on the side, his mother Li Feng finally let him go, and asked him to go home early next time.
