Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 360 Muttering to Oneself

"This time, the U.S. stock market made the most money from short selling, about 5500 million U.S. dollars, followed by Neon, with about 70 billion Neon dollars, and Europe made about..."

Xie Qinghai was in his study at home, reading various data to Li Wanshui and Li Wannian.

Compared with Li Wanshui who was listening carefully, Li Wannian was holding a comic book and reading seriously.

This comic is called "Genius Little Angler" and it is a classic comic that has been serialized in "Weekly Shōnen Magazine" for 10 years.

It tells the story of a young man named Sanping who grew up in a simple countryside and depended on his grandfather. He was influenced by his grandfather's fishing skills and loved fishing. He also honed his superb fishing skills and conquered various seas, rivers and lakes with his companions.

It looks like a sports comic, but it's actually a leisure comic.

I have to say that the author Yaguchi Takao is still very powerful. Not only is the drawing suitable for all ages, but it also makes people excited to read it. It is indeed a good comic.

Due to the equity swap with Kodansha, Li Wannian needed to understand the current situation of "Weekly Shōnen Magazine".

Because of Li Wannian's appearance, "Kindaichi Shounen Incident Book", the best-selling manga in the history of "Weekly Shonen Magazine", and "Hot Teacher GTO", which is ranked fifth in history, have both been drawn. Currently, the best-selling manga in "Weekly Shonen Magazine" This is the book "Genius Little Angler".

It's a pity that even so, this comic has been completed for 4 years, and now this magazine lacks a masterpiece.

"...Now the company's capital has reached 30 billion Hong Kong dollars. These are the shares that need to be purchased next. Please take a look at it, Mr. Li!"

With that said, Xie Qinghai handed a document he had been holding to Li Wanshui with both hands.

"Wannian, what do you think?"

After Li Wanshui took the document, he didn't look at it anxiously, but asked Li Wannian who was standing aside.

"I don't need to. As long as the companies I mentioned are in it, you can do whatever you want with the rest!"

Li Wannian didn't even raise his head. He was still lying on the sofa reading comics, as if he was completely uninterested in this big business involving billions.

Seeing Li Wannian looking so lazy, Li Wanshui didn't care and opened the file with a smile.

There are dozens of companies in total, both Chinese and foreign.

Li Wanshui glanced at the American technology companies such as Cisco and Microsoft that Li Wannian highlighted. Then Li Wanshui looked down one by one, and then he discovered a familiar name, "Yulang International".

"Why do you want to acquire Yulang International?"

Li Wanshui's words attracted Li Wannian's attention and actually made him put down the comic in his hand.

"It's like this. After the stock market reopened recently, we discovered that Yulang International was actually taken over by a hostile takeover. Currently, the comic industry in Hong Kong is dominated by DreamWorks. But if it is not controlled, Yulang International will Being funded by a consortium is likely to trigger vicious competition, which will harm our interests!"

What Xie Qinghai said makes perfect sense.

The acquisition of multiple commercial companies is not for the sake of the company itself, but to prevent other companies from making acquisitions.

Even if I spend money to buy it back and put it there, it is better than falling into the hands of a competitor!

"Which company is conducting a hostile takeover of them? Can you find out?"

At this time, Li Wannian finally focused his attention on Xie Qinghai.

"It's Xingdao Company!"

"Zheng Jinhan!"

Obviously, Li Wannian has a deep understanding of the situation of Xingdao Company.

As the founder of Paramount Group, he introduced the Chinese version of Playboy to Hong Kong Island. He also founded Hong Kong Island's first comprehensive fashion magazine "New Modern Pictorial".

It can be said that in Hong Kong's publishing industry, and even the entire political and business circles, this man is definitely a big shot. “But, will this cause competition with the Sing Tao Group?”

In comparison, Li Wannian didn't know much about the Xingdao Group, so he asked.

"No, Zheng Jinhan is deeply bound to our TV station, and he still wants to rely on our TV station to attract traffic to him!"

Li Wanshui revealed the mystery in one breath.

"In this way, Yulang International can give it a try!"

Seeing that no one was touching this piece of fat, Li Wannian suddenly became interested.

To be honest, although Yulang International is not as good as DreamWorks nowadays, they are the second largest comic company in Hong Kong after all. They not only own a lot of copyrights, but also have many outstanding artists.

Although these employees who come out of the assembly line are not comprehensive in terms of ability, these people together are definitely a force that cannot be underestimated.

"Since Wannian has agreed, then so be it! Come on, the investment company really can't do without you!"

Li Wanshui always respected Li Wannian's opinions and directly closed the document and handed it back to Xie Qinghai.

"Yes, I will work hard!"

Today, Xie Qinghai is so admired by the Li family, especially Li Wannian, that his operations in the stock market are like predicting the future.

How can ordinary people still have this ability?

"Okay, you go out first!"

After Xie Qinghai left, Li Wanshui stood up from the boss chair and stretched.

"Are you tired? Brother?"

"Hey, who knew that my home would actually turn into an office now."

"Isn't this good? This makes the company our home!"

"But I really am!"

What Li Wanshui said was reasonable, but it made Li Wannian smile bitterly.

To others, this may be a joke, but to Li Wanshui, it is not the case at all.

Li Wanshui was originally one of the company's major shareholders, and he was also diligent enough. After several years of managing such a large company, he was really exhausted.

It was rare that no minifigures came in at this time. Li Wanshui was free for a while and didn't even know what to do, so he turned on the TV in the study that he hadn't watched for a long time.

The TV configuration in the study room cannot be compared with that in the villa hall, but compared to ordinary people, it is not too small.

After opening it, it happened that the wireless station was conducting an interview, and the interviewer was Huang Yulang.

"I can once again assure shareholders and everyone that we at Yulang International have no problems for the time being, and every item of the accounts can be reconciled. I hope everyone can look at this matter rationally and not blindly follow the trend. Believe us, Yulang International will definitely be able to get through it." This is difficult!”

"Is what this guy said true? Didn't Xie Qinghai just say that Huang Yulang was taken over by a hostile takeover? It seems quite normal now?"

"Maybe it's just normal, but that's not important. What's important is that this time we may really be able to make a lot of money!"

Looking at Huang Yulang's account book shown to reporters on TV, Li Wannian murmured to himself.
