Tina Fett said, "Boss, can you tell me about this novel?" ”

Lei Juewen waved his hand and said, "This is not in a hurry, now let's talk about your acquisition of HarperCollins Publishing Group." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Okay!"

Tina Fett replied, "Founded in 1817 and headquartered in New York, HarperCollins Publishing Group has a history of more than 160 years, and after more than 160 years of ups and downs, it is currently the eighth largest publishing group in the United States. HarperCollins Publishing Group mainly has a great influence on literature, novels, economic books, children's books, religious books, etc., and Cente is currently mainly engaged in literature and novels. The acquisition of HarperCollins Publishing Group will not only expand Cent's existing domestic channels, but also open up foreign markets, and expand Cent's business scope, which is a favorable acquisition. ”

Lei Juewen nodded and motioned for Tina Fett to continue.

Tina Fitt continued: "HarperCollins Publishing Group is currently in trouble, and its owner wants to sell it, and this is an opportunity for Cent. In terms of market capitalization, HarperCollins is valued at $60 million, and as long as it has $30 million, the acquisition of HarperCollins can be completed. ”

Lei Juewen said: "Half of the acquisition is to be able to obtain the ownership of HarperCollins, but there will not be such good luck, there is exactly half of the shares waiting for us to acquire, right?" ”

Tina Fett said: "The current desire to sell HarperCollins is its boss Cottonon Collins, who owns 57% of HarperCollins' shares at a market price of $34 million, because he needs to sell urgently, and he can lower the price, and $32 million should be available." ”

Lei Juewen asked, "What is the company's existing funds?" ”

Tina Fett replied: "Jurassic Park sales have only recovered more than $6 million so far, and with the funds that the company originally had, the current funds are nine million dollars. However, the bank, with the guarantee of Mr. Lui Chun-hung, was willing to lend the company $25 million, which was fully sufficient for the acquisition of HarperCollins. ”

"A $25 million loan!"

Although he agreed to this loan, Lei Juewen still felt the pressure. US$25 million is converted into Hong Kong dollars to 125 million, so many loans, the monthly interest to be repaid is definitely not a small amount, if a poor management, it must be bankrupt.

Fortunately, it is just a little pressure, Lei Juewen can still bear it, as far as the publishing house is concerned, Lei Juewen feels that the novel he has come up with now should be able to solve this problem. The novel he is about to come up with is much more famous than Jurassic Park, and the sales are believed to be no exception. With this novel, there is no problem at all in settling the loan from the publishing house.

"Fett, the company's acquisition of HarperCollins should be going well, otherwise you have no reason to call me."

Tina Fentry nodded: "I met with Mr. Cornton Collins a few times about the company's intention to buy Cent, and the board of directors of HarperCollins had some objections, but Cornon Collins himself had to offer a price that he was happy with, so it went quite well. Mr. Copton Collins' bid is currently $33 million, and I think in a little time I will be able to talk about $32 million. However, it is inevitable that someone will intervene halfway, so you need the boss to stay in the United States for a while, and once the acquisition is completed, you need the boss to sign the contract to avoid accidents. ”

Lei Juewen said: "Okay, this matter will be left to you." I'm not going to leave the U.S. until the acquisition is complete, and I'm trying not to leave Los Angeles. ”

Tina Fett said, "Boss, I'll negotiate with Mr. Cottonton Collins as soon as possible to complete the acquisition." ”

"It's best to be able to be fast."

Lei Juewen nodded, and suddenly said: "Fett, I rarely stay in the United States, so the publishing house is managed by you, and after the acquisition of HarperCollins, I will send a financial representative as before, and the company will still be handled by you." ”

"Thank you boss for your trust, I won't let you down."

Tina Fett's face was overjoyed when she heard this, after acquiring HarperCollins, Cente was no longer the original Cent, with assets of nearly 100 million US dollars, and it was also a large company in the United States. Being able to control such a large company, and the boss is not very in charge of things, without the constraints above, it is the best platform for her to display her abilities.

Lei Juewen smiled and said, "Fit, I'll set you a goal, if you can make Sente's market value reach more than 100 million US dollars this year, I will give you 5% of the shares." Of course, you can only enjoy the year-end share of the 5% shares, but you cannot actually own the shares. ”

"Thank you, boss, I'll do my best."

Tina Fit's smile was even brighter, and while it was a bit difficult to get Cente to reach a market value of $100 million, it was a good challenge, and the 5% share after success was a big temptation for her. The share alone is definitely several times higher than her salary for a whole year.

Tina Fett's ability is worthy of recognition, which is why Lei Juewen is willing to give her a share share, in fact, even if the market value of Sente cannot reach 100 million US dollars after the end of this year, Lei Juewen will find an opportunity to give Tina Fett this reward in the following time, in order to retain talents.

When a company develops to a certain stage, it is necessary to reward high-level shares, and it is impossible to retain talents if you are not willing to give shares, and you will get it if you give it, which is the unchanging truth since ancient times.

Lei Juewen turned his head to speak to Lei Guang behind him, suddenly thought of something, turned back to Tina Fett, and said: "Fett, the publishing house used to be mine, so I didn't sign any contract for the novel, and directly asked the publishing house to publish it." Now it seems that I still have to sign a contract for a novel like a normal writer. ”

Tina Fett knew that this was reasonable, and nodded when she heard this: "Boss, your novel has passed the test of the market and has a huge sales, so if you sign a contract, you can get the treatment of a first-line writer." ”

Lei Juewen said: "Then sign a contract according to the treatment of first-line writers, my new book is also signed according to this standard, when my fame goes up, it is not too late to improve the treatment." ”

At that moment, the two talked a little about signing the contract, Lei Juewen is the boss after all, so it is naturally impossible to sign a contract with ordinary writers, everything must be based on his will.

Although the company is its own, Lei Juewen still keeps all kinds of copyrights in his hands, and only grants the publishing rights of Cent's novels, the only thing that is good is that he grants Cente the publishing rights in all languages in the world, and the royalties are given according to the treatment of first-line writers, Lei Juewen is not too entangled in this.
