Chapter 555: Xia Wanqing's ZX Group Day Tour (Part II)
After the end of the visit to ZXStarhausEntertainment, the next itinerary is to visit the film and television production department, at this time, not only Li Haoying heard the news and followed, but also the giants of other departments or subsidiaries came over to see what the specific situation was, so that the number of accompanying personnel increased rapidly, turning a visit that was originally just a casual walk around to see a large-scale formal reception.
"President, who is that? Do you and Minister Guo need to take the lead in personally receiving you? After all, Li Haoying couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, took a look at the gap, and asked Xiahou Zhongying in a low voice.
"My cousin-in-law has a film company in China." Xiahou Zhongying replied casually.
Li Haoying suddenly said in his heart that it was no wonder, it turned out to be a relative.
ZX Group is not without other people or companies to visit, but Xiahou Zhongying has never come forward to receive it, even if officials from the Ministry of Culture came to inspect, Li Haoying did not come to receive Jiang Wenying before he came, and he was responsible for it after he came, Xiahou Zhongying never showed up. It can be seen that although he looks easy-going, he is a very proud person in his bones.
"By the way, my cousin-in-law is going to sell the company and asks me if I am interested in taking over, what do you think?" Although Xiahou Zhongying had no idea of taking over, he still wanted to ask Li Haoying's opinion.
"Is it just a film company?" Li Haoying asked.
Xiahou Zhongying nodded slightly.
"If it's just a film company, I don't think it's necessary." After thinking about it for a while, Li Haoying replied cautiously.
He didn't know Xiahou Zhongying's thoughts, because of the relationship between the two. It cannot be ruled out that he acted with emotion. After a pause, Li Haoying continued: "But if it is other aspects of business, such as artist management, we can consider it." ”
"Go on." Li Haoying's thoughts coincided with his own, which made Xiahou Zhongying suddenly become more interested, and motioned for him to continue.
"At this stage of our company's development, except for the song department that has not yet developed, in the other two areas, film and television and artist management affairs, in South Korea has almost reached its limit. Keep going like this. I don't think it will give us much room to grow anymore. If you want to break through the bottleneck and continue to develop rapidly, you can't just focus on the Korean market, you must jump out of the box. ”
"The film and television department has taken the lead. At the beginning of the year, he began to enter Hollywood. We're not just ahead of other companies in this regard. And judging from the current situation of the company, it has achieved unexpected success, so I won't talk about it. Li Haoying admired the abilities of Xiahou Zhongying and Jiang Wenying. couldn't help but sigh and continued: "But in the field of artist management, we are still in South Korea. After all, the Korean market is too small, just a small cake, and there are too many people who share the cake, even if we do the first in Korea, we can't get much. Not to mention that compared with the world's first-class brokerage companies, many Asian brokerage companies are much stronger than us in the field of artist management. ”
Xiahou Zhongying nodded slightly, affirming Li Haoying's thoughts, which made him feel more energetic.
"I think it's time for our company to take the talent management business to Asia. As the largest emerging market in Asia, China has a cake that cannot be compared with South Korea. If we can expand our business to China, after a period of development, even if we only occupy a small share, we can drive our company's performance to explode and multiply. ”
Xiahou Zhongying had no doubts about the prospects predicted by Li Haoying, because he knew that this was the truth. Today's Korean artists are keen to go to China to pan for gold, firstly, the remuneration for participating in movies and TV series in China is incomparable to South Korea, and secondly, the price and market of advertising endorsements are much larger than those in South Korea. For example, Li Xiaoli, after she jumped to ZX Group, she has not been to China much, but because ZX Group has a deep Chinese background, she is very popular with Chinese advertisers, and nearly one-third of the revenue she brings to ZX Group is contributed by Chinese companies.
"Our Korean agency has two ways to open up the Chinese market, one is to find a powerful company to work with, and hand over the business of our company's artists in China to them, which is the most trouble-free and favorite way for most companies. One is to open a branch there, the advantage of this way is that there is no need to share a piece of profit, but relatively, the difficulty is also obvious, because without the participation of local people, it must be very difficult to carry out the business. ”
"You want to work with my cousin?" Li Haoying said so much, and the implied meaning of it Xiahou Zhongying could hear a rough idea, but he was not very sure.
"That's what it means." Li Haoying smiled and nodded slightly, this idea also arose after he knew that Xia Wanqing was Xiahou Zhongying's cousin-in-law.
Recently, Li Haoying has been thinking about how ZX Group should open up the Asian market. Both approaches have their advantages, and if ZX Group was just a purely Korean company, he would not have thought about it and would choose the way of cooperation. But then they won't be able to dominate the business outside of South Korea, so he's been hesitant.
Compared with other Korean companies, ZX Group has its own advantages, and Xiahou Zhongying's Chinese status makes it not impossible for them to open a wholly self-led branch in China. However, Xiahou Zhongying is now focusing on the American market, and is still studying there, so it is inevitable that he will not return to China to sit down.
And if there is no one who can settle down in China, the early market development will definitely encounter a lot of difficulties, and it is even likely to lead to a delay in the development of the business, so it is better to find a company to cooperate and hand over the business to them.
The appearance of Xia Wanqing brought a new way of thinking to Li Haoying. ZX Group will not take over her company, but it can work with her in other areas, or start a new brokerage together. All the company's business is still led by ZX Group itself, but it needs to use Xia Wanqing's company's resources and her network, and she will come forward to solve problems when the company encounters them, so the company can give two to three percent of its benefits.
Xiahou Zhongying's identity is no longer a secret among some specific people, and Li Haoying is naturally among this specific group of people. He knew that Xiahou Zhongying's background in China was very strong, and naturally, his cousin's ability would not be small, whether it was in the official face or in what aspect, with her coming forward, ZX Group would have a lot less unnecessary trouble and difficulties when carrying out business.
This is beneficial to both parties, Xia Wanqing does not have to pay a lot or do too much, she can get two to three percent of the shares of ZX Group China. And ZX Group doesn't have to cooperate with other companies, and they take the bulk of their profits.
"You're thinking." After listening to Li Haoying's thoughts, Xiahou Zhongying nodded slightly. He didn't care about giving two or three percent of the shares to Xia Wanqing, because after tying her up, the back of the Chinese branch was equivalent to standing on the two super families of the Li family and the Xia family, and no one dared to move at all, she was completely worth the price. If this method is finally feasible, ZX Group will take advantage of it.
"Let's talk about that later." Xia Wanqing was preparing to sell the company, and from what he knew, it seemed that she was physically and mentally exhausted and had no interest in continuing to operate, so Xiahou Zhongying couldn't guarantee that this method would work. If she doesn't want to eat the bowl of rice in the entertainment industry anymore, everything is free to talk about, so he must ask her what she thinks before he can decide.
Li Haoying nodded.
————————
"Sister-in-law, aren't you going to sell the company? Why are you still recording so carefully? Li Rongdao was very puzzled by Xia Wanqing's behavior, and found an opportunity to ask.
"I suddenly want to stay in business again." Xia Wanqing smiled, "I want to try it according to the business model of ZX Group, if it still doesn't work, I'll talk about it then." ”
"Do you have the funds?" Li Rongdao asked.
This question stumped Xia Wanqing all of a sudden, making her fall silent for a moment. After a long time, she sighed slightly, and said with some distress: "Yes, funds are a big problem, I lost all my private money at once, and my family is definitely not willing to give money, so I will continue to operate." It would be nice if Zhongying was willing to take a stake. I am willing to relinquish my position as the majority shareholder, and they will be completely responsible for the operation.
