Chapter 777: Divergence [Second Update]
"Sing Tao" newspaper headquarters, Hu Xian's office.
Lin Jianyue sat on the sofa in the rest area with his legs, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, and his eyes were not looking at Hu Xian, who was answering the phone.
Almost every ten minutes, there was a phone call or someone to interrupt the meeting between the two, Lin Jianyue never thought that the CEO of "Sing Tao" newspaper would have so many things, nor did he expect that a woman in her sixties would have such vigorous energy to handle the company's daily business.
The fact that "Sing Tao" newspaper can be ranked as the top three Hong Kong newspapers and periodicals with "Ming Pao" and "Oriental Daily" has a lot to do with Hu Xian's hands-on management model, of course, this approach also has obvious drawbacks, that is, its own energy will be completely involved in the company's main business, and it can no longer be distracted to do other things.
In contrast, Lin Youlun's management model of "Ming Pao" is completely hands-off, he is only responsible for setting the general direction, although the control of the newspaper is far less than Hu Xian's, but the advantage is that he can devote most of his energy to other things.
Lin Youlun's current industries involve film and television, media publishing, real estate, and financial investment, and all of them have been successful, while Hu Xian has only achieved remarkable results in running the "Sing Tao" newspaper, and every time she tries to expand into other fields, the results are mostly unsatisfactory.
From the Hong Kong Film Awards, which are now doing well, to Huang Yuyang's Yulang Comics Company, they are all failures in the hands of Hu Xian.
Hu Xian herself is aware of this, so in the past two years, she has only focused on the newspaper industry, and no longer easily gets involved in investing in areas that she is not good at.
It is precisely because of Hu Xian that she has become cautious. Therefore, Lin Jianyue's meeting with Hu Xian today was not so smooth.
Hu Xian was wearing a very professional Xiangfei color suit, which looked very classy, she answered the phone, walked around the desk, walked back to the sofa and sat down, her hands crossed on her knees, her legs together, and her upper body leaned forward very measuredly, everything seemed to be careless, but it made people unable to escape any etiquette problems.
"Ms. Hu. I still hope that you will seriously consider my suggestion again. This collaboration is good for both of us. Lin Jianyue directly had a showdown with Hu Xian, hoping to make the other party change his previous decision.
"Mr. Lin, I should have made it very clear just now, you want the film copyright of "Dragon Tiger Gate". I can sell you the entire Culturecom company. This way you don't just get what you want. And it also has the copyright of more comics, which will be good material for adaptation into movies in the future. ”
Hu Xian's attitude did not loosen in any way. and in turn persuaded Lin Jianyue.
"Mr. Lin, sometimes you should really learn from Lin Youlun, if you carefully study your opponent, you will find that from a long time ago, Lin Youlun has begun to integrate and control content resources such as comics and novels in the upstream of the film and television industry chain, and today's Tianxia Comic Company and "Ming Pao" Publishing Group are very good examples, if you want to compete with him in the field of film and television, you can't lose to him in the industrial pattern."
"Xie Lu Xie Hu teachings, but Ms. Hu should not forget that Lin Youlun is also your opponent, and in terms of the company's diversification, Ms. Hu should also learn more from him."
Lin Jianyue sneered in his heart and reminded.
Hu Xian smiled, "Mr. Lin doesn't need to provoke me, if it was before, maybe I would have seriously considered you, but now I don't need to, I admit that I don't have any talent in diversification, and I don't want to compete with others in these fields, so your suggestion can be left to yourself." ”
"Then how can Ms. Hu be willing to sell me the film rights of "Dragon Tiger Gate"?" Lin Jianyue no longer had the patience to continue to spend time with Hu Xian at this time.
"As I just said, the copyright of "Dragon and Tiger Gate" is not only sold, but if Mr. Lin wants to buy it, he will buy the entire Culture Communication Company!" Hu Xian didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, "By the way, I would like to tell Mr. Lin another piece of news, Lin Youlun has always been very interested in the Culture Communication Company, if it weren't for the fact that "Sing Tao" and "Ming Pao" have fought too hard over the years, there is no room for reconciliation, maybe I would have sold the Culture Communication Company to him." ”
These words hit Lin Jianyue's sore spot.
Lin Youlun's high-profile start of filming "City Hunter" once again aroused Lin Jianyue's desire to win.
In big-budget movies, Lin Jianyue has admitted that he is not Lin Youlun's opponent, but in small and medium-budget movies, Lin Jianyue thinks that he can still wrestle with Lin Youlun again.
"City Hunter" is adapted from the Japanese comic of the same name, and Lin Jianyue has set his sights on "Dragon Tiger Gate", which has been popular in Hong Kong for many years.
The copyright of "Dragon Tiger Gate" is in the hands of Culture Communication Company, and for Hu Xian, this company is like chicken ribs, she can't spare too much energy to operate, and she is unwilling to sell it at a low price.
Lin Youlun's several offers were not low, but Hu Xian did not want the cultural communication company to fall into the hands of competitors and strengthen the overall strength of the "Ming Pao" group, so she never agreed.
Hu Xian and Lin Jianyue knew very well in their hearts that the greatest value of Culturecom at this time was the copyright of those comics.
Hu Xian's meaning is that if you want to sell it, you have to package it and sell it together, because once the film adaptation rights of "Dragon Tiger Gate" are sold separately, the value of Culturecom will shrink by half, and it will be difficult to sell again.
And Lin Jianyue bought Culture Communication Company to no avail, he only wanted the film adaptation rights of "Dragon Tiger Gate".
Negotiations have thus reached a stalemate.
The phone on Hu Xian's desk rang again, she said sorry, interrupted the negotiation with Lin Jianyue again, and got up to answer the phone.
Lin Jianyue thought that since Hu Xian refused to give in, he simply stopped talking about it today, and was about to get up to say goodbye, but he didn't expect Hu Xian to answer the phone very quickly this time, and it was over in less than half a minute.
"What, Mr. Lin, is he going to leave?" Hu Xian hung up the phone and walked over.
Lin Jianyue did not deny it, but only said that he would come to visit again when he was free in the future.
"If Mr. Lin doesn't have anything else to deal with, you don't have to leave in a hurry, I just had a guest here, maybe you will be interested in him." Hu Xian squeezed her hands and said.
"Oh?" Lin Jianyue showed a somewhat interested expression on his face, "I wonder who this guest of Ms. Hu is?" ”
"Topaz!"
"Topaz?" Lin Jianyue asked uncertainly.
Hu Xian nodded.
Lin Jianyue's expression became very strange at this time, since he wanted to put "Dragon Tiger Gate" on the screen, of course there was no reason not to know that the author of "Dragon Tiger Gate" was Huang Yuyun, but he remembered very clearly that Huang Yuyun was sentenced to prison for making false accounts before, and he was released so soon?
Hu Xian smiled and explained: "I heard that he has just been released from prison, how is it, is Mr. Lin interested in meeting him?" ”
Lin Jianyue stared at Hu Xian for two seconds, and then understood what she meant.
"Since Ms. Hu said so, then I have no choice but to accompany her."
——
On the way here, Huang Yuxuan thought that this meeting with Hu Xian would not be too smooth, and he was even mentally prepared to be turned away, but what he didn't expect was that Hu Xian actually agreed to see him very happily.
Following Hu Xian's secretary into the office, Huang Yuyun quickly noticed that Hu Xian seemed to be receiving another guest in addition to seeing him today.
Huang Yuyun paid a few glances at the man, and then recognized the identity of the other party, Lin Baixin's son, Lin Jianyue, chairman of Hong Kong Media Asia Film Company.
Hu Xian noticed that Huang Yuxuan's gaze stayed on Lin Jianyue for a few seconds, and immediately smiled and asked, "Mr. Huang, do you need me to introduce you?" ”
"Although I have been in for two years, I still recognize the famous Mr. Lin Jianyue."
"Mr. Huang has won the award, it should be said that I have admired you for a long time!"
Lin Jianyue stretched out his hand and wanted to shake hands with Huang Yuxuan, but Huang Yuxuan refused.
"I just came out today, and I still have mildew on my body, and it's not good to pass it on to Mr. Lin."
Huang Yuyun said this, and Lin Jianyue no longer insisted.
"Encounter is fate, why don't you let me be the east tonight and wash the dust for Mr. Huang?"
Huang Yuyun thought that he had no friendship with Lin Jianyue, and the other party actually wanted to invite him to dinner as soon as he came up, which immediately aroused Huang Yuyun's suspicions.
In addition, seeing Hu Xian so easily today always made Huang Yuxuan a little vigilant.
"Mr. Lin came to me today to discuss the purchase of Culturecom Company, and it just so happened that Mr. Huang came to me, I think you are the original owner of this company, so I also want to hear your opinion."
As soon as Hu Xian spoke, Huang Yuxuan's face suddenly changed, he came to Hu Xian to discuss the matter of buying back the Cultural Communication Company, and now Lin Jianyue also wants to intervene, which is not good news for him.
Lin Jianyue's previous investment in movies was notoriously generous, although he has reined in the past two years, but there is no shortage of money in his hands is certain, if he is also interested in the cultural communication company, Huang Yuyun wants to bid with him, and the odds of winning are not even one percent.
Seeing that Huang Yuxuan's face became ugly, Lin Jianyue opened his mouth and explained: "Don't get me wrong, Mr. Huang, I don't have much interest in Culturecom, I came to Ms. Hu, I just wanted to buy the film adaptation rights of "Dragon and Tiger Gate", but Ms. Hu must sell it to me together with Culturecom, which makes me very difficult." ”
"Mr. Lin wants to make "Dragon Tiger Gate" into a movie?" Huang Yuxuan's eyes lit up, and he looked at Lin Jianyue in surprise.
"It's true!" Lin Jianyue nodded.
Huang Yuxun's heart was churning, making "Dragon Tiger Gate" into a movie is an idea he has always had, if it weren't for the company's problems, he was sentenced to prison for allegedly making false accounts, maybe this idea has been realized. (To be continued......)
