Chapter 164: The Publishing House Arrives

Ding Lin said that Su Wen had difficulty investing money to acquire a large stake in their publishing house, and that he was not a fool of himself.

Under Fang Chengshi's persuasion, Ding Lin agreed to Su Wen's entry into the publishing house, and naturally he would be investigated. The information he got was that although Su Wen's family was good, it was not a wealthy family.

Daily life is enough to be solid, and if he has to spend one or two million dollars to buy a publishing house, it is not something that his family can support. In addition, although Su Wen's current work "Romeo and Juliet" is a big hit, this book has only been on the market for a short time, and if you want to get money, it is estimated that it will be at the end of the year at the earliest, and there is still half a year to go!

In addition, although their publishing house is on the verge of bankruptcy, it still has small assets, which cannot be acquired with thirty or fifty funds.

Ding Lin couldn't think of where Su Wen was going to raise this huge amount of money!

In Ding Lin's heart, there is also a final extravagant hope, that is, he expects that Su Wen will not be able to come up with funds, and in the end he can only use the copyright of the work as a shareholder - in this way, he can lower the price and make it impossible for the other party to control it.

However, in the face of Ding Lin's difficulty, Su Wen didn't care, but picked up the document thrown by Ding Lin with a smile on his face and looked at it carefully.

This is an asset summary report about Spring and Autumn Publishing House, and it should be considered authoritative because it is a third-party statistical company.

In the report, the assets of Spring and Autumn Publishing House are classified into statistics, from the book number, to manpower, to the value of market channels, and finally even the brand value.

At the end of the report, the total assets of the Spring and Autumn Publishing House are written.

Three and a half million!

Su Wen felt that this report was quite reliable, and Ding Lin did not cheat, for example, their publishing house had ten book numbers, but now they use five, and there are only five left.

The report valued the five ISBNs at 750,000 yuan, which is not the lowest in the market. It is not higher than the market price, and it is at the level of the average price, which can be regarded as kind.

As for the brand or something, it is almost negligible, in this report, the highest evaluation for the Spring and Autumn Publishing House is that he still has about 20 skilled people. For example, editors, such as channel operations, and so on.

In the new century, talent is definitely the most expensive!

"How about it, Mr. Suwen, can you accept this price?" Ding Lin smiled, his eyebrows twitched, and he looked like an explanation, "This is a report that was only sent yesterday, and it was made by a statistical company with a good reputation in our city." If you don't believe it. You can find someone to evaluate it again. ”

Su Wen shrugged: "No need, I can still trust Mr. Ding on this." ”

Ding Lin finally felt better when he heard this, at least Su Wen didn't deny his personality anymore, he pondered for a while, and asked, "That'...... How do you think you should buy it, and how should I sell it? First of all, I would like to remind Mr. Su that I have previously proposed to trade in your work to get shares. I won't agree to that. Because once you become the largest shareholder, you will earn more. So. We'll give you the normal royalties on it. So...... I want your cash. Without cash, I won't sell Spring and Autumn Publishing to you. ”

Su Wen nodded, on this point, he could accept it.

After all, in the case of the publishing house and other shareholders, the profits of the books sold must be shared with the other party. Then the copyright and what should naturally be clearly distinguished, so as not to have any entanglement in the future.

Ding Lin thought that asking for cash would scare Su Wen, but he didn't expect the latter to just smile slightly and say, "I have no problem, and there is no problem with cash." ”

Ding Lin was stunned. He blurted out, "Can you come up with so much money?" ”

Not to mention Ding Lin, even Fang Chengshi was taken aback, Su Wen's family background is also quite clear, a publishing house with a total value of more than three million, if it wants to become the largest shareholder, it needs nearly two million funds to be able to gnaw.

Does Su Wen have this strength?

"Cash?" Su Wen smiled, "As long as I want to have it, it won't be without." I am born to be useful, and I will come back when my daughter is gone! ”

Ding Lin was not convinced, and snorted coldly: "I forgot to tell you that I didn't ask people to overestimate this asset report, and if you want to buy a company in the market, you have to buy it at a premium." So, if you want to buy it, I should have no problem opening the total price of four million, right? ”

Fang Chengshi thought that Ding Lin was embarrassed and humiliated Su Wen, and was anxious: "Ding Lin...... Your publishing house is going to go out of business, and it's still a premium? ”

Ding Lin said dissatisfiedly: "Old Fang, don't turn your elbows out!" The situation of Spring and Autumn Publishing House is not good, but it is not yet closed. With a term of one and a half years, plus five ISBNs, and the value of our manpower and channels, if I really want to sell it and ask for four million, I think there are still many people rushing to ask for it. At the very least, those cultural companies will vigorously scramble to supplement their qualifications. Don't forget, it's not so easy to get a license from a publishing house these days! ”

Fang Chengshi was silent for a moment, he also did the work of the cultural industry, and he knew that what Ding Lin said was the truth, and if he didn't say anything, the qualification alone could make the Spring and Autumn Publishing House a favorite of those cultural companies.

"Su Wen, what do you think?" Ding Lin asked Su Wen again.

Su Wen still nodded and said, "Four million? I can accept it. By the way, if I were to come up with four million now, would Mr. Ding sell me the entire publishing house? ”

"What, you want to buy it wholly?" Ding Lin was taken aback.

Su Wen smiled: "If you dare to sell, I dare to buy." ”

"Don't think!" Ding Lin immediately refused, "I said that you can be the largest shareholder, but this is an industry founded by our Ding family, and I will not completely let it go." I want to have at least one seat on the shareholder bench. In addition, my request is that even if you are the largest shareholder, you cannot change the name of the publishing house. It's still called Spring and Autumn Press! If you don't say yes, I'll leave right now! ”

Looking at Ding Lin's determined and unrefusable appearance, Su Wen knew that he had really done it, and he would leave if he said he would leave.

With a sigh, Su Wen said: "The name can not be changed, and I think the words Spring and Autumn are not bad." ”

Ding Lin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said: "Even if I am a minority shareholder, I will not completely ignore the operation of the publishing house. I can allow you to be the president of this company, and you will run it. However, if you have a position as vice president or editor-in-chief, you must leave me at least one. ”

This made Su Wen not agree and groaned.

"Su Wen, promise him." Fang Chengshi looked at Su Wen and hesitated. Hurry up and bite his ear with him, and explain in a low voice, "After all, Ding Lin has been a publisher for ten years, although he is not good at management, but he is a literary and artistic young man, and he is familiar with many editors or writers in the literary world. has his own contacts and channels. Let him work in the publishing house. It will be much easier to do things in the future, at least, in the literary world, he can make some people sell his face. This can also generate revenue for the publishing house, doesn't it? ”

Su Wen pondered for a moment, felt that Fang Chengshi made sense, and nodded in agreement: "Okay!" Mr. Nading will be the vice president! ”

In a publishing house, the position of president and editor-in-chief is the most important, and the vice president is even more important. Su Wen didn't dare to put the first two in the hands of Ding Lin, who was too capable of tossing, one was not good, and after the publishing house finished playing, everyone could only stare at each other.

When Ding Lin heard that Su Wen really gave him the worst choice, he became angry and snorted: "Don't talk about this yet, you better take the money out." ”

"And how many shares do you sell?" Su Wen asked.

Ding Lin glanced at him and said, "You have to be the biggest shareholder." Okay, fifty-one percent. That's the biggest shareholder, right? ”

Su Wen laughed angrily when he heard this: "Mr. Ding." Are you fooling children? Although I don't ask to treat the Spring and Autumn Publishing House as a hall of words, I ask for the power to have a word! Fifty-one? What can be done? Do you have a fight with you at forty-nine every day? ”

"That'...... Fifty-five? Ding Lin gave another piece of data.

Su Wen still shook his head.

"Sixty?" Ding Lin was upset.

Su Wen still shook his head.

"You ......"

"Seventy!" Su Wenbi drew seven fingers and said categorically, "I ask for at least seventy percent of the share!" In this way, I can guarantee the energy to be able to speak for myself in the publishing house! ”

"You...... It's not ......."

"Less than seventy. Then we won't have to talk about anything! Su Wen didn't give Ding Lin a chance to refute, and his attitude was extremely firm.

Fang Chengshi pulled Ding Lin, who was still talking, and comforted: "Ding Lin, you still have thirty percent of the share, which is enough for you to influence the publishing house." ”

Ding Lin didn't speak. After a moment of silence, he slammed the table and said, "Good! As long as you give me 2.8 million yuan within three days, you can take the 70% share! But...... If you can't get this money within three days, Su Wen, our share will have to be talked about. When the time comes...... Don't go back! ”

When Su Wen heard this, he smiled, nodded, shook his head again, and said, "Why wait three days? I can give it to you right now. ”

"Where did you get the money?" Ding Lin asked directly.

Su Wen directly made a gesture of booing and silencing, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, dialed it, and turned on the speakerphone, and soon a female voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Su Wen, do you have any instructions?" The sound is very capable and crisp.

Fang Chengshi trembled when he heard this, and he heard very clearly that the other party was Li Xiuying, who had something to do with him!

What did Su Wen do when he contacted Li Xiuying, and Fang Chengshi was puzzled for a while.

I only heard Su Wen say in a calm voice: "Mr. Li, I am short of a sum of money and need it urgently, can you advance a little "Romeo and Juliet" to me first?" ”

"No problem!" Li Xiuying didn't hesitate at all, as if she hadn't thought about it.

"I want three million, preferably able to transfer it to my account today." Su Wen explained very clearly.

"No problem!" Li Xiuying still replied, "I'll let the finance transfer the money to your account now." You can check it out later. ”

"Thank you." After Su Wen thanked him, he hung up the phone and didn't explain what he wanted the money for, and Li Xiuying didn't ask him where the money was.

In this way, Su Wen had three million funds in his account in a while!

Fang Chengshi and Ding Lin looked at each other, extremely surprised, stunned for a moment, they couldn't even imagine that Su Wen was raising money like this even if they smashed their heads!

There was no problem with the funds, and even if Ding Lin was unwilling, he could only transfer seventy percent of the Spring and Autumn Publishing House to Su Wen. The three of them only negotiated, and had not drafted the contract yet, but it was inevitable that there would be many long nights, so Su Wen asked Ding Lin to write a short letter of intent on the spot, indicating the share of the transfer, the funds, and the names of both parties to the transfer.

After the intent agreement arrived, Su Wen immediately announced his big move, which scared Ding Lin and Fang Chengshi into a cold sweat! (To be continued......)
