Volume 1 Chapter 241 Published under Heaven
Ma Rongcheng's complaint, but Lin Xiaozhi's heart moved, and the waves rose slightly.
Coincidentally, he has really paid attention to the publishing industry during this period of time, and is ready to plan the channel market around the film. Regarding the situation of Huang Yulang's Yulang company, Lin Xiaozhi still knows a little.
When it comes to Yulang Company, we have to talk about its boss Huang Yulang, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a wizard in the Hong Kong publishing industry. In Hong Kong, if the essay is published, the industry's first recommendation is Jin Yong, but when it comes to doll comic publishing, Huang Yulang is a well-known banner, and his status is equivalent to Jin Yong's novel. It is said that at the age of thirteen, he borrowed money from others to set up a publishing house and entered the publishing industry. In the following years, Huang Yulang failed to start a business many times but honed his excellent skills, and at the end of 1971, Huang Yulang's dream of meeting a noble man for many years was finally realized, and he established 'Yulang Book Company,'.
More than ten years have passed, Yulang Books has become Yulang International Co., Ltd., and Huang Yulang has changed from a simple cartoonist to Hong Kong's leading publisher and boss of a listed company.
However, what makes Lin Xiaozhi remember this comic godfather and his Yulang company is not his huge achievements in the Hong Kong comic market, but a relationship between him and Li Zi, a model who is 20 years younger than her, who was rumored for a period of time last year.
According to media reports, Huang Yulang married female cartoonist Ma Mengni when he was L years old, and had two sons and a daughter, and later the family immigrated to Australia. But due to a long separation between the two places, the two still chose to divorce in 19RU. Then he met Li Zi, who was 20 years younger than him, and the two lived together for three years.
Last year, it was said that because of some reasons of Yulang Company, the godfather of Hong Kong Man took the initiative to abandon Li Zi and remarry his ex-wife. Because of this, there was no shortage of media who condemned his character last year, and Lin Xiaozhi also saw it in several newspapers by chance. Because the heroine of the incident, Li Zi, was also one of his favorite Hong Kong actresses in the previous life, so he inquired a little, and was so angry that he scolded the cabbage for a few days and let the pigs arch.
Listening to Ma Rongcheng's complaint for a while, his mind became active, and he felt that there must be something strange in him being beaten.
When he encountered something he was interested in, Lin Xiaozhi's drunkenness faded a little, and when he saw Ma Rongcheng's drunkenness, he opened the chatterbox, and hurriedly pretended to ask casually: "Ma Sheng has offended people, is it still the person invited by the old owner Yulang Company?" This is a bit too overbearing......"
Ma Rongcheng hesitated for a moment when he heard this, after all, he was too drunk and drunk, and after a few more questions to Lin Xiaozhi, he replied with a thick tongue: "Boss Huang? He's not that kind of person...... It's just that this Yulang company can't say for sure...
Under Lin Xiaozhi's repeated questioning, Ma Rongcheng poured out what he knew and guessed little by little as if he was squeezing toothpaste.
It turns out that Huang Yulang is also the No. 1 wizard in the Hong Kong publishing industry, Yulang International Co., Ltd. has grown from one to one hundred in his hands, and successfully landed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in dU year, and the market value has skyrocketed dozens of times in just a few months. Once rich, this godfather of Hong Kong comics is full of ambition, and the problems of eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling in the past have also emerged, not only squandered a lot of money in the casino, but also entered the real estate speculation that has nothing to do with his comic industry at the instigation of others.
The good times did not last long, in the second half of 87, the stock market crash came, and the myth of the 'jade romantic painting' piled up by countless bubbles was shattered, and the opposition in the Yulang company headed by Jing Han was dissatisfied with Huang Yulang's arbitrariness, and the Sing Tao Group wanted to fully acquire the Yulang Group. In order to keep the company, Huang Yulang not only abandoned Li Zi to remarry in the early stage of holding a lot of shares in Yulang Company, but also ordered his henchmen to forge false accounts. In April 1989, Yulang International Co., Ltd. was forced to suspend trading by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and Huang Yulang was arrested by the police on charges of forging false accounts in U last year, and it was difficult to escape imprisonment.
In recent years, Huang Yulang has lost the courage to fight the country in his early years after becoming famous, and as a result, after discovering Ma Rongcheng, a newcomer comic genius, he took the initiative to give way to promote Ma Rongcheng. In the past few years, under his careful training, Ma Rongcheng has succeeded Huang Yulang and become the highest-grossing cartoonist in Hong Kong. After the stock market crash in 87, in the past two years, Yulang Company has been infighting and disputes, and many cartoonists in the company have been unintentionally created and chose to leave, and Ma Rongcheng is also one of them.
He has replaced Huang Yulang as the pillar of the company, at first someone in order to bring down Huang Yulang, sent a letter threatening him to cut off his golden right hand if he dared to continue to draw comics, for which there was also a '200,000 buyers, turmoil, he did not believe in evil He was suddenly attacked on the way home one day at the beginning of last year, and his right hand was almost cut off
It was precisely because of this incident that Ma Rongcheng was disheartened by the constant infighting of Yulang Company, and made an appointment with a few friends to leave together.
However, not long after his injuries healed, his boss Huang Yulang was arrested by the police on suspicion of falsifying false accounts. At this time, after submitting his resignation to Yulang Company, Ma Rongcheng was categorically refused. Yulang Company, which has changed to a new management, is naturally unwilling to let go of him, the pillar of the house, and even someone has released rumors that they will break his hands and feet if they dare to leave.
The threat couldn't bear Ma Rongcheng's intentions, and after grinding his skin with the new senior management of Yulang Company for a month, Ma Rongcheng officially left Yulang Company in July last year. Soon after, he got a 'world publishing company' with a few friends, but he didn't expect that people would harass him from time to time in the following months, and after avoiding it once or twice, he finally almost suffered again.
Lin Xiaozhi was embarrassed to hear it, and he also had some feelings about the intrigue in Yulang Company. Because of Hong Kong's special historical background, a large number of stragglers fled to Hong Kong during the War of Liberation, and there are also illegal immigrants from the mainland, Southeast Asia, Vietnam and other places, and it is not an exaggeration to say that more than one-tenth of Hong Kong's population has an unclear relationship with the triad. Although it is an exaggeration to say that several associations such as 140,000 are claiming to help hundreds of thousands, some of the largest associations have more than 100,000 congregations.
Because of this, there are disputes within some companies, and there is no shortage of people buying murder, 100,000 yuan, 200,000 or even 500,000 yuan, and the news of solving an opponent worth tens of millions with one shot occurs from time to time. Ma Rongcheng was caught between Huang Yulang and other shareholders of the company, and he could only consider himself unlucky.
Lin Xiaozhi had the heart to comfort a few words, and when the words came to his mouth, his heart suddenly moved.
He had already had the idea of intervening in the Hong Kong publishing market, to be precise, to lay out peripheral publishing channels for the company's films. In the United States, where the film industry is the most developed, there is no shortage of popular movies that are 'black-hearted' every year, and American movie giants hire novelists to adapt novels or invite cartoonists to make comic book adaptations, or print clothes, design toys and make a lot of money, and there is no shortage of peripheral income that is still above the box office profit of the movie.
His eyes fell on Ma Rongcheng, and Lin Xiaozhi suddenly realized that this might be an opportunity
Ma Rongcheng suffered twice, and now is the time to be afraid and worried. Regardless of whether the other party is the new senior management of Yulang Company or the Sing Tao Group, he Lin Xiaozhi is not afraid. owns New Asia Film Company and New Asia Records, as an upstart in the entertainment industry who is famous in Xiangjiang, anyone has to weigh before provoking him, what will happen if he provokes him and makes things bigger. And he can take the opportunity to take over Ma Rongcheng and his Tianxia Publishing Company, and lay out peripheral revenue channels such as comic and novel versions of movies.
The more I thought about it, the more feasible it was, Lin Xiaozhi's wine had already dissipated most of it, and he immediately asked, "...... I still think that Ma Sheng has offended some kind of person on the road, if it is just because of the relationship between work and competition, there is a villain who makes a trick, I can solve this matter for you."
"Really?"
As soon as he said this, Ma Rongcheng also woke up a little, and asked eagerly: "Lin Sheng taught me ......"
"It's very simple, wouldn't it be better for the world publishing company to change a backer who is not afraid of your opponents"
He replied with a smile, and when he saw Ma Rongcheng bowing his head and thinking about it, he left him with something to think about for a while, and then continued: "Our Xinya Company is about to intervene in the publishing market recently due to business needs. I am willing to contribute a sum of money to invest in your Tianxia Publishing Company, I don't know what will happen to the business of Lu Daoma? ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw Ma Rongcheng's eyes widen

Ma Rongcheng's mother finished the housework and cooked some decanting soup for the two, although the taste was very strange, but Lin Xiaozhi drank two bowls, and when it was close to five o'clock, the wine had completely dissipated, so he said goodbye and left.
Regarding his proposal to take a stake in the World Publishing Company, Ma Rongcheng did not immediately agree, but only said that he would consider it. Lin Xiaozhi didn't care about this, he just came up with such an idea on a temporary basis, Hong Kong's publishing industry is developed, and there are many good publishing companies, but it is not limited to his world
When he returned home, he fell asleep, and he even forgot to call Sima Jie to inquire about the progress of "Cheng Pao". However, at about eight o'clock the next day, he was still asleep and woke up the mobile phone he put on the bedside, which was a call from Ma Rongcheng. It only took one night of thinking before he agreed to Lin Xiaozhi's proposal to take a stake in the world.
Lin Xiaozhi privately invested 5 million Hong Kong dollars to invest in the Tianxia Publishing Company, accounting for 70% of the shares of the new company to become the largest shareholder, the whole process was almost not subject to any resistance, the total assets of the Tianxia Publishing Company, which was just created in July last year, was only 2 million Hong Kong dollars, except for Ma Rongcheng and seven or eight cartoonists, the entire company together was only 12 people, and they were more or less troubled by Ma Rongcheng. Therefore, there is no objection from the company to him to bring Lin Xiaozhi, a well-known rebel son in Hong Kong, to join the shares.
As a result, it only took three days for them to complete the contract, but even the entire world publishing company was relocated to the Kowloon Bank Building, which shows the efficiency.
