Huayu since 1980

Chapter 541 Media Group (4200+ chapters, please subscribe~)

The coming of the 87 stock market disaster directly shattered Emperor Yulang's dream of becoming a billionaire!
In mid-October 1987, the global stock market crashed.

The stock market is a wreck, stock speculator Xiang Zhiqiu is full of scars; Luo Xurui, who has a strong digestive function, has a temporary intestinal blockage-how can Emperor Yulang survive.

Only Liu Luanxiong escaped with Wu Jianye's help. This can also show why Liu Luanxiong respects Wu Jianye so much!

First, Huang Yulang’s plan to raise 1.7 million Hong Kong dollars through allotment of shares fell through; secondly, the market value of Yulang Group dropped sharply by more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars; thirdly, the Hang Seng Index futures market he was optimistic about failed, resulting in a total loss of more than 3 million Hong Kong dollars.

In addition to pumping back the original surplus water, Huang Yulang had to take his Yulang stock to the bank as collateral to repay the debt.

The stock market was sluggish, and the public turned pale when they heard about the stock market. The Financial Times, which mainly targeted stock market investors, was closed down after only 72 days of publication, setting a record for the shortest lifespan of a Hong Kong newspaper.

Yulang Group is in the publishing industry rather than the securities industry, but it invested 4.7 million yuan in securities mainly from the stock market, exceeding 4% of the group's market value.

Shareholders complained, and the Securities Regulatory Commission ordered Yulang Group to suspend trading for 6 days, pending investigation.

In May 1988, the Stock Exchange publicly condemned Yulang Group's board of directors for not complying with the listing regulations and trading important shares and assets without telling shareholders, and warned Yunyun.

The image of the Yulang Group was greatly damaged, the stock price plummeted, and the bank knew that the situation was not good, so they added insult to injury and forcibly pressed for debts. In order to avoid the bad luck of liquidation, Huang Yulang had to reduce the weight and cash out to pay off the debts.

In September 1988, Huang Yulang's shareholding in the group fell to 9%, and his holding was not firm.

If Luo Xurui is not a fellow of the Huang family, and the wound has not yet healed, it must be Luo Xurui who attacked the Yulang Group first.

Probably fate has arranged that the Huang family is only qualified to engage in the comics industry.

The lessons of history tell him that once he gets involved in other industries, he will fail miserably. Only when he returns to the comics industry can he become more popular and make money.

Huang Yulang is "down-to-earth" and focuses on comic publishing. After the stock market crash, the market is cold, but with the golden brand of "Huang Yulang", the damage to comic publications is not too big.

Huang Yulang sees that the Xiangjiang comics market is becoming more and more saturated, and the group has achieved a brilliant performance of 9% of the market share, so he put the bow of the boat and actively explored overseas markets. The comic books have entered the United States, Canada, RB, Wanwan, Bangzi, and Southeast Asia. market.

Among them, the English translation of martial arts comics is the best-selling in North America. Huang Yulang has become a world-class comic giant.

Unexpectedly, the tentacles of the sniper protruded like sharp claws, trying to grab the emperor's crown.

In February this year, Peregrine Capital, the chairman of which Liang Botao is the chairman, proposed a comprehensive acquisition of Yulang Group on behalf of Spacemen, at a price of HK$0.8 per share.

The boss of Spacemen is the publishing wizard Zheng Jinghan.

Cheng used to work in Sing Tao Newspaper Group. A few years ago, he founded the Chinese version of "Playboy" and "Capital" and became famous.

The Zheng family is also from Chaozhou, and there are no fathers and sons in the mall, so the friendship of fellow villagers will naturally be as thin as a sheet of paper in the face of commercial interests.

This comprehensive acquisition requires the use of 6 million cash, which shows that Zheng's strength is not shallow.

It is said that Huang Yulang is currently in Dongliu, enjoying a song and dance performance in a geisha house with RB publishers, and when he hears about the fire in the backyard, he immediately flies to Xiangjiang to organize a counterattack.

After a few rounds, Zheng Jinghan seemed to lack stamina—because a mysterious third party bought Yulang shares at high prices in the market, the Zheng family gradually died down.

Huang Yulang was besieged on all sides, and his head was battered.

"Who is this mysterious third party?" Wu Jianye sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, holding a half-burned cigar in his hand.

Regarding the comics industry, Wu Jianye has always been very thoughtful. If he only reads Xiangjiang's comics, even if he reaches Huang Yulang's level, he will hit the ceiling of Xiangjiang's comics industry. The market value of the head office is only more than a billion Hong Kong dollars. That's all, but if you look at the global comics industry, you will know that this is a very large industrial chain.

Especially the comics industry of RB and the comics industry of the United States. The comics industry is one of the pillar industries in RB, with an annual output value of over [-] billion, while the comics industry of the United States is concentrated in the three major comic companies of DC, Marvel and Dark Horse. body.

However, due to the current level of technology, the comics industry in the United States has not yet begun to rise. It will not be until after 2000 that American comics will begin to conquer cities and territories around the world with the rise of superheroes.

Wu Jianye remembered that he had read several online novels written in Hong Kong in later generations, which contained descriptions about the comics industry. Unfortunately, Wu Jianye's understanding of comics was still limited to "Dragon Ball" and "Slam Dunk" , "Captain Tsubasa", and "Yu Yu Hakusho" content of this era.

Most of these comics have already been serialized in RB, and there is no way to plagiarize them. The most important thing is that RB's comic industry has already formed a complete production chain. Hong Kong came to create comics.

So Wu Jianye never paid attention to this point.

Later, after Yanwen was handed over to start the Sanmiao comics, Wu Jianye also wanted to hold the copyrights of some of Xiangjiang's potential comics in his hands.

For example, the "Fengyun" series that Ma Yicheng is currently creating, and the "Young and Dangerous" series created by Niu Lao, the copyrights of these comics belong to Sanmiao Comics.

As for "Chinese Heroes" created by Ma Yicheng before, since he belonged to Yulang International at that time, the copyright of "Chinese Heroes" belonged to Yulang International.

In fact, at the end of the 90s, when Xiangjiang movies were in decline, Xiangjiang's manga movies could help Xiangjiang movies break the situation. The glimmer of hope was also directly destroyed.

The movie that ended the double Monday success era of Xiangjiang movies is actually the "Fengyun" movie adapted from the "Fengyun Series" comics!
"The investigation has made it clear that this third party is actually Hu Qiang's Sing Tao Newspaper Group!" Yan Wen said: "Hu Qiang has absorbed the Huang Yulang Group's equity through the American Trust Asia, and the shareholding has reached 3%. There are 5% of the warrants. Then the warrants are exchanged for the underlying shares, diluting the equity controlled by Huang Yulang."

Wu Jianye laughed and said, "This Husan is really a vengeance!"

Yan Wen was also smiling beside him, "This Huang Yulang is actually stupid enough, he doesn't even know who his real opponent is, I got the news that this Huang Yulang's opponent is not only Hu Qiang, but also other people !"

Wu Jianye asked curiously: "Is there anyone else?"

Yanwen nodded and said: "That's right, because Huang Yulang was too arrogant when the stock market was bullish before, so he offended many people. Now that someone is maliciously buying Yulang International, there is not much anyone who can help Huang Yulang. Now Only his fellow countryman Qian Guozhong was left beside him, and this Qian Guozhong found Yuzhi Investment before and wanted to borrow money, but I found out that this Qian Guozhong was actually dissatisfied with Huang Yulang's behavior for a long time. Huang Yulang borrowed money, but he also wanted to use it to gain Huang Yulang's trust, and then prepare to fight back!"

After listening to Yan Wen's narration, Wu Jianye laughed: "It seems that Huang Yulang is really hopeless!"

Yan Wen nodded, and said: "That's right, and Qian Guozhong also told us that Huang Yulang is suspected of fraudulently taking cash from accounts."

Wu Jianye: "In this case, let's do it. After Yulang International is acquired, sell those useless companies, and only keep their core comic business!"

Yanwen agreed: "I think so too, what about the amaranth?"

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "You can handle this matter yourself, can't you deal with a Sing Tao Newspaper Group?"

Sing Tao Press and Oriental Press have always been the two largest newspaper groups in Hong Kong. Even Master Jin’s "Ming Pao" cannot compete with these two, but as I just said, every industry has a ceiling. , Xiangjiang's newspaper group also has its own ceiling, no matter how powerful the two newspapers are, they can't be compared with Yiwang Group. If Yanwen can't even deal with Xingdao Newspaper Group, then his efforts in the past few years will be for nothing!
Yanwen said confidently: "Brother, don't worry!"

Wu Jianye thought for a while and said, "By the way, Gong Xi's parents are always talking about getting old recently. Now you can buy the "Hong Kong Island Daily" under their name under the name of Yiwang Group."

Yanwen suggested: "Now Yaoguang Group owns ATV, Fengge Entertainment, and Yiwang Group owns Sanmiao Comics. If you add "Hong Kong Island Daily", brother, can you consider establishing a media group?"

Wu Jianye fell into deep thought. Yan Wen's proposal was very pertinent to Wu Jianye. Now his entertainment industry in Xiangjiang is somewhat scattered, belonging to Yaoguang Group and Yiwang Group respectively, which is not conducive to the development of the entire entertainment industry.

If you listen to Yanwen's suggestion and set up your own media group, then you can perfectly integrate your entertainment industry in Southeast Asia, and it will be very good news for the development of these companies at that time.

"If a media group is established, the person in charge is a difficult issue!" Wu Jianye said.

Yanwen: "I think Jiang Zhiqiang from Fengge Entertainment is pretty good. Although this person still lacks management experience, under the escort of Yaoguang Group and Yiwang Group, he can be given a period of time. Buffer period!"

Wu Jianye thought for a while and said, "Okay, you can discuss this matter with Zhou Tao, and then come up with a specific and feasible plan, and then we will discuss it in detail!"

Yan Wen smiled and said, "I know!"

Wu Jianye asked: "Don't worry too much about the acquisition of Yulang International. The most important thing for Yiwang Group now is to get Standard Chartered Bank into its hands and complete its privatization!"

Yan Wen: "Don't worry, I can tell the difference!"

The acquisition of Yulang International is just a matter of convenience, and the complete privatization of Standard Chartered Bank is the biggest task of Yiwang Group this year.

It was early in the morning when the two of them finished talking about work, and Yan Wen missed Qian Sisi, so he rushed back overnight, and when Wu Jianye returned to the bedroom, Gong Yu had already rested.

Wu Jianye went straight to bed.

When I opened my eyes the next day, it was already past ten o'clock.

After eating the breakfast prepared for him by his servants, Wu Jianye went to ATV. He has been busy arranging Xiangjiang's business affairs these days.

When I came to the editing room, I saw Zhao Le and the team he recruited from ATV, working intensely. "Legend of the White Lady" is a mythological drama. It is not only as simple as editing, but also some post-production special effects and Dub work.

However, compared to this TV series, Xiangjiang’s special effects company is already sufficient to complete these tasks. Originally, when editing in China, it was going to hand over the special effects work to Xiangjiang’s company, but now it’s all right. The editing of The Legend of the White Snake was moved to Xiangjiang, and Wu Jianye could give them better orders.

Although Xiangjiang Film dominated the entire Asia in the 90s and [-]s, in terms of special effects, Xiantao Digital also appeared to support the facade, but with the decline of Xiangjiang Film, Xiantao Digital also gradually declined.

Later, the special effects company of Xiangjiang was left. The special effects company "PO Chao Ting" established by Xie Tingfeng and the special effects company "ONE COOL" established by President Gu came to support the facade.

But still the same sentence, the current Xiangjiang Special Effects Company can handle the special effects of "Legend of the New White Snake".

After a day at ATV, Wu Jian returned to Repulse Bay at night.

Wu Qichen is being taken by the nanny at home, and Gong Xi is also studying her own business. Gong Xi's fashion magazine has started to be published, and at the same time, after listening to Wu Jianye's suggestion, she has formally established an underwear brand. The company had been delaying the birth of Wu Qichen before, but now Wu Qichen didn't need her to take care of her 24 hours a day, so he started working hard on his own business.

Wu Jianye sat next to Gong Yu, watching her seriously read some reports from the company.

Wu Jianye said: "Underwear brand, I think you should stop hiring designers in Xiangjiang, and directly hire top designers from RB and Europe and the United States with high salaries. Don't worry about the cost. The more advanced this thing is, the more women like it. Then we will create another one." With a model team and catwalks all over the world, it will become a world-renowned underwear brand in a few years!"

Gong Xi put down the pen in his hand, and asked with a smile, "What about fashion magazines?"

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "It's simple, it's better to spend money, find the most famous designers in the world, publish your fashion opinions in magazines, and at the same time contact the top fashion luxury brands, give them money, first put the magazine's Now that your popularity has risen, think about making money again!"

Gong Xi was taken aback for a moment, and always felt that what Wu Jianye said was a bit too simple, but after thinking about it for a while, the simple and rude method of throwing money at it seems to be really effective!
"That would cost a lot of money?" Gong Xi teased.

Wu Jianye held Gong Xi into his arms, and said with a smile, "I will invest 5000 million US dollars in the early stage, and you can do whatever you want!"

In 89, with 5000 million US dollars, it was more than enough to open the brand influence of a fashion magazine and the preliminary work of an underwear brand!

Gong Xi nodded and said, "Alright then!"

The two got bored for a while, and Gong Xie suggested that Wu Jianye watch TV with her. Wu Jianye had no objection to this, but Gong Xie suggested watching "Fengshen Bang".

Putting the video tape into the VCR, the two lay on the bed and watched TV 'seriously'.

But Wu Jianye looked at it for a while, and thought of the acquisition of Yulang International that Yanwen said before, an idea suddenly rose in his heart.
