Chapter 397

In the blink of an eye, it has been almost half a month since the Jade Emperor Daily was listed.

In the past half a month, the sales of Jade Emperor Daily have been rising every day, successfully seizing the market of major newspaper giants in Southeast Asia, and directly reaching the top.

The sales of the Jade Emperor Daily newspaper on Hong Kong Island reached an astonishing 220,000 copies, and the sales volume in Wanwan Province was as high as 350,000 copies, and the sales volume in the Omen area did not change much, only more than 20,000 copies.

So far, the total daily sales of the Jade Emperor Daily in Hong Kong and Aowan have exceeded 600,000 copies, which has also surpassed Sing Tao Daily, and officially become the world's largest Yanxia newspaper.

Of course, this does not count the mainland, if you count the newspapers in the mainland, although the daily sales of the Jade Emperor Daily may not even be enough.

However, in the overseas newspaper industry, the sales of the Jade Emperor Daily are already very good, and when the Jade Emperor Daily goes out of the Hong Kong Ao Bay and officially enters the populous countries inhabited by the Yanxia people in Southeast Asia, such as Singapore, Luzon and Malaysia in Southeast Asia, it is estimated that the daily sales of the Jade Emperor Daily will instantly exceed 2 million copies, and the population base is relatively large, and the sales volume will naturally rise.

Zhang Zhonghua now feels more and more that the title of tycoon on Hong Kong Island is really not very valuable, and it is this tycoon and that tycoon at every turn.

No, just over 20 days have passed, and Zhang Zhonghua has another title of newspaper tycoon.

Coupled with catering tycoons, retail tycoons, breeding tycoons or something, Zhang Zhonghua should be the one with the most tycoon titles on Hong Kong Island, and there are many such titles, and Zhang Zhonghua feels that this title is not interesting.

……

Central, Sing Tao Daily.

Hu Xian looked at the leaders of the companies that were a little restless, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, in less than half a month, the sales of her Sing Tao Daily began to decline sharply, and it had been surpassed by the Jade Emperor Daily yesterday.

The local newspaper sales of Sing Tao Daily fell from 190,000 to less than 100,000 copies, and the sales of 240,000 copies in Wanwan Province were directly cut in half.

If Sing Tao Daily hadn't been supported by sales from several other countries, I'm afraid the company would have gone bankrupt in less than three months, but Jade Emperor Newspaper is estimated to have entered other countries in the southeast soon.

"Liang Yusheng still refuses to come to Sing Tao Daily?"

Hu Xian asked like a high-level official.

"Boss, we have already offered a high price of two hundred per thousand words, but Liang Yusheng's will is not firm and has not wavered, I am afraid it is unlikely that we want to dig him up."

Hu Xian's face turned ugly and continued to ask, "What about Qiong Yao?" ”

Seeing the ugly face of the person in charge of the communication department, Hu Xian understood what he meant, and directly continued to ask: "Zhang Ailing's side." How's your contact going? ”

"Boss, Zhang Ailing works at the University of California over there, and she said she doesn't have time to write articles now."

"What about Ni Kuang?"

"Ni Kuang is now invited by the Ma brothers to the Oriental Daily, I don't know what price the Jinma brothers offered, and they can smash Ni Kuang over."

Hearing this, Hu Xian was very helpless, and now there are only these well-known writers in Southeast Asia, and each of them can't be tapped.

But Sing Tao Daily is now relying on serialization to maintain sales, but if the current serialization ends, a large part of the people chasing the change will inevitably leave, and Hu Xian dare not imagine the consequences.

The editor-in-chief of Sing Tao Daily was also very helpless, he did not expect that Sing Tao Newspaper would come to an end so quickly, and in the face of the end of Sing Tao Newspaper, no one could support the building to collapse, and now the entire newspaper is panicked.

Hu Xian smiled helplessly, and had to get up and leave the conference room and return to his office.

"Alas, Zhang Sheng should be sighing in his office again now, sighing that there is no one in the whole Hong Kong Island who can fight, right? Hehe, he lamented that there is no one who can fight, but he is a useless one, how ironic is this! ”

Hu Xian muttered to himself and remembered the past, and was very emotional.

Her father, Mr. Hu Wenhu, was the world's "king of gold oil" and "newspaper king", and her father Hu Wenhu has loved her since she was a child.

Hu Xian lived under the loving protection of his parents, and lived a worry-free life since he was a child, and should have had the opportunity to receive a good education.

On September 5, 1954, Hu Wenhu suffered a heart attack during his travels, and handed over Sing Tao Newspaper to Hu Xian before his death. The 21-year-old Hu Xian was appointed to take charge of the Sing Tao Newspaper. Through continuous hard work day and night, he has been recognized by everyone, and has experienced many ups and downs along the way.

"Boss, the front desk phone, said that Lin Xingzhi, the general manager of the Jade Emperor Daily, had just come to the company, and he said that he wanted to see you for something."

The assistant knocked on the door and whispered to Hu Xian after entering Hu Xian's office.

"Hehe, Lin Xingzhi is here? What did he want to do when he came here at this time? Are you here to show off your power or do you want to buy our Sing Tao Daily? ”

Hu Xian said with a sneer.

"It's impossible to show off your might, Lin Xingzhi used to dismiss him when he reported his fate, and he is a cultured person.

I'm afraid that Lin Xingzhi came to our newspaper this time, he should want to buy our Sing Tao Newspaper, but this should be Zhang Sheng's meaning, if Jade Emperor Newspaper acquires us, they will enter the Southeast Asian market more quickly. ”

The assistant said.

"I must have Zhang Sheng nodded, you go and greet it, and see what chips Zhang Sheng can offer!"

After Hu Xian said this, he seemed to be several years old all of a sudden, although he was unwilling, but what could he do?

Normal business competition, skills are not as good as others, losing is losing, there is nothing to disagree.

Soon Lin Xingzhi entered Hu Xian's office under the leadership of the assistant, and after the assistant left, Lin Xingzhi looked at the strong woman in front of him a little.

Born in Yangon, Myanmar in 1933, Hu Xian took over the Sing Tao newspaper business in 1954 at the age of 20 and became the queen of the Southeast Asian newspaper industry for more than ten years.

"Hello, Ms. Hu!"

Lin Xingzhi lowered his posture and said hello to Hu Xian.

"Lin Sheng is here, please sit down, tea or coffee?"

Hu Xian also said very politely.

"Plain water will do, thank you."

After the two were silent for a while, Hu Xian was a little breathless, and asked, "Lin Sheng can just say what he has to do when he comes to Xingdao Newspaper this time, and we won't use those twists and turns." ”

"Since Ms. Hu said so, then I will get straight to the point. Our two newspapers have the same main news field, if the two sides compete with each other, they will definitely lose both, we Jade Emperor Newspaper intends to acquire Sing Tao Newspaper, I wonder what you think, Ms. Hu? ”

Lin Xingzhi said politely.

"You are humble, the fish of Sing Tao Newspaper will definitely die, but the net of Jade Emperor Newspaper will definitely not be broken, after all, Jade Emperor Daily is backed by the Jade Emperor Group, and the final result is not a defeat for both sides, but for me to die and you to be injured." I just don't know, what conditions did Zhang Sheng offer for the acquisition of Sing Tao Newspaper? Hu Xian asked with a smile.

As soon as Lin Xingzhi heard this, he understood that Hu Xian was somewhat dissatisfied with the Jade Emperor Daily's backing to the Jade Emperor Group to reduce their dimensionality, but he had accepted the reality, so he said: "When I came, Zhang Sheng gave me two plans: the first plan is that our Jade Emperor Newspaper will wholly acquire Sing Tao Newspaper at a premium of 30%;

The second plan is that Mr. Hu will use Sing Tao Newspaper to become a shareholder of Jade Emperor Newspaper and serve as the vice president of our Jade Emperor Newspaper. ”

"Investing in the Jade Emperor Newspaper? I don't know what your quote is for Sing Tao Newspaper? ”

Hearing that he could take a stake in the Jade Emperor Newspaper, Hu Xian became interested.

"Well, this is the plan, the investigation has not yet begun, if Mr. Hu has this intention, the group's finance department will evaluate Sing Tao Newspaper."

"Then what are the assets of your Jade Emperor Daily?"

"The Jade Emperor Newspaper has spun off the printing department, and will set up a separate publishing house to serve the various companies of the group in the future, and Zhang Sheng injected 10 million US dollars into the Jade Emperor Newspaper Company to develop the Jade Emperor Newspaper Company."

Lin Xingzhi introduced.

'It is worthy of being the richest man in Yanxia, just a newspaper company injected 10 million US dollars, which is really too rich, and the old lady's Sing Tao Daily has only developed assets of 30 or 40 million Hong Kong dollars for more than 30 years. ’

Hu Xian thought with some slander.

"Our Sing Tao Newspaper has a property and market value of 50 million Hong Kong dollars in Southeast Asia, I don't know how Zhang Sheng plans to let Sing Tao Newspaper become a shareholder?"

Hu Xian asked.

I am afraid that this issue will need to be discussed by Ms. Hu and Zhang Sheng in person, but the Jade Emperor Newspaper will be split and reorganized in the later stage, and the newspaper's reporter team will also be spun off to form an independent news agency under the group.

Even if in a few years, I will not be surprised if my boss tells me that the Jade Emperor Group will launch its own satellites to serve the group. ”

Lin Xingzhi said with a wry smile.

The Jade Emperor Group is a whole, and the news agency is not only engaged in news, but more like an intelligence agency, not just a platform for the newspaper to provide news.

His visit to Sing Tao Newspaper this time is more to explore the wind, if he can't buy it, he can only implement another set of plans, and it is estimated that there will be drama from Hu Xian's attitude at present.

Hu Xian was obviously shocked by Lin Xingzhi's words, Sing Tao Newspaper and Jade Emperor Daily are not at the same level at all, and Jade Emperor Newspaper is stronger than Sing Tao Newspaper not only in Dongying and European sales channels, but also in long-term considerations.

"There is no problem with the merged Jade Emperor Newspaper, but can Sing Tao Daily be retained, and can I make additional investments?"

Hu Xian asked.

"If you make additional investment, it will definitely be no problem, and in the future, Jade Emperor Newspaper will also acquire or acquire newspaper companies in Europe, and the management of Jade Emperor Newspaper will also have option shares.

The logo of Sing Tao Daily will certainly be retained according to the owner's wishes, but it is expected to become a foreign-language newspaper, and Jade Emperor will publish new newspapers, all of which are international news. ”

Lin Xingzhi introduced.

If the Sing Tao Daily retains and develops and grows, Hu Xian is excited, so that he has not lost his father's foundation, if Sing Tao Daily becomes a global newspaper, his father will probably be very pleased under Jiuquan.

Hu Xian and Lin Xingzhi chatted in the office for more than two hours, and also learned about the development plan of the Jade Emperor Newspaper, and gradually looked forward to joining the Jade Emperor Newspaper.

After Lin Xingzhi left Sing Tao Newspaper, Hu Xian made a cup of coffee for himself, and the crisis turned into an opportunity, and he was still the queen of the newspaper industry.

Soon, the assistant walked into the boss's office nervously, and when he saw that the boss was in a good mood, he was relieved.

Hu Xian instructed the finance department to prepare the company's asset information, and before the matter was successful, it could only be kept secret temporarily.

How much additional funds do you want to add to the shares, and the worth accumulated in more than ten years is more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, but how to invest in shares, let's meet Zhang Sheng and discuss it in detail.

The next day, Hu Xian took the initiative to bring a confidant financial staff to the Jade Emperor Mansion to meet Zhang Zhonghua.

Hu Xian looked at the Jade Emperor Mansion in front of him, well, it was called Lishan Mansion before, and in a blink of an eye, Zhang Sheng threw off the elder of Hong Kong Island and couldn't even see his back.

Hu Xian couldn't help but smile bitterly, this demon.

After Zhang Zhonghua received the notice from the front desk, he personally greeted Lin Xingzhi at the elevator door on the top floor, and Zhang Zhonghua also had special respect for the tycoon who took over the newspaper queen at the age of 21.

"Hello Ms. Hu, welcome to Jade Emperor Group."

"Zhang Shenghao, I haven't seen you for a few years and your demeanor is still the same, no, it's more dazzling."

Hu Xian said with a smile.

"You're smiling, please."

"The Jade Emperor Group really lives up to its name, there are snacks and drinks everywhere, and after the working atmosphere, not to mention the world, it must be the first in Asia."

I have long heard that the working atmosphere of the Jade Emperor Group is very good, Hu Xian, and it is natural to be amazed to see it.

"I also provide a comfortable and pleasant working environment for everyone, so that everyone is motivated to work hard."

Zhang Zhonghua said with a smile.

After a polite meeting room in the conference room, Hu Xian said straight to the point: "I have already thought about Manager Lin's proposal before, I want Sing Tao Newspaper to take a stake in Jade Emperor Newspaper, here is the asset information of Sing Tao Newspaper in Southeast Asia, and the total assets are about 25 million Hong Kong dollars." ”

"Mr. Hu, you can just say what the market value of Sing Tao Newspaper is."

Zhang Zhonghua did not take the document handed over by Hu Xian, but said directly.

"Sing Tao Newspaper now has an average daily profit of about HK$110,000. Coupled with the industry, channels, customers, advertisers, etc., the market value of Sing Tao Newspaper is about 55 million Hong Kong dollars. ”

Of course, this is now, if there is no Jade Emperor Daily, the valuation of Sing Tao Daily is higher, and the daily advertising fee is also a large amount of income.

However, valuations may be lower in a few more years.

"55 million, then the premium is 65 million Hong Kong dollars, Ms. Hu, what do you think?"

Zhang Zhonghua asked Hu Xian.

"Yes, I don't know how to invest in the Jade Emperor Newspaper?"

65 million Hong Kong dollars has also met their psychological expectations, if there is no Jade Emperor Daily, it will be 100 million, there is no way.
