Chapter 144
"Pfft—" Zhou Mingde almost didn't spit out, he had seen a boss who pretended to be aggressive, but he had never seen such a boss who pretended to be so aggressive.

"If you dare to take over, I dare to take everyone away!" Zhou Mingde decisively used his biggest trump card, threatening.You know, the most important part of a novel website is the editorial team. Once the entire editor and operation leave, that novel website is likely to decline overnight.

"Oh? Editor Zhou can influence everyone?" Mu Bai raised his eyebrows, and said amusedly, Mu Bai didn't believe that the entire team could be pulled away with just a single word from Zhou Mingde?

Maybe a few of them will leave with him, but the vast majority must stay.After all, editors are human beings, and they also need to eat, drink, and get paid!

"You—" Zhou Mingde naturally knew that he couldn't influence everyone, but he was sure to take away half of them. This was his influence as the editor-in-chief of Lanjing.com for so many years.But seeing Mu Bai's confident appearance now, he immediately hesitated.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit tense, Han Simiao quickly acted to persuade him: "Both of you calm down first, and come down for a cup of tea first!"

"Editor Zhou, Mu Bai also wants to rely on Lanjing.com to enter the field of online literature. This is good for you and the company. Why don't you want to?"

"I—" Zhou Mingde opened his mouth, but he couldn't answer Han Simiao. He couldn't say that he was worried that Mu Bai would grab his right to speak, and that this new major shareholder would dilute his shares and kick him out. Bar.

Mu Bai had some understanding of Zhou Mingde's thoughts, a manager in essence suddenly had an extra uncle on his head, and he would not be willing to do it in his place.

"Editor Zhou, if you are worried about your authority, I can assure you that I will never interfere in the management of your website!"

"As for the shares, I believe you won't let me hold so many shares!" Zhou Mingde snorted coldly.

Mu Bai smiled lightly: "Of course, I spent a lot of money to take over Blue Whale.com, not to give benefits to Editor-in-Chief Zhou, but Editor-in-Chief Zhou can rest assured that your shares will not be diluted below 5.00% for you .”

"Of course, if you want to transfer the shares to me, I warmly welcome you!"

"..." The so-called share dilution means that the controlling party adds a large amount of funds into the company, and if the minority shareholder does not invest a corresponding proportion, the shares held in his hands will naturally decrease. Of course, although the shareholding ratio decreases, the assets it represents There is no change, only the shareholders' equity is reduced.

"...Okay, write it clearly in black and white!" Gritting his teeth, Zhou Mingde reluctantly agreed. As for the sale of shares, he was reluctant.

In this way, the three signed relevant contracts respectively, in which Mubai purchased all the equity for 100 million RMB and signed an agreement with Zhou Mingde.

After the payment of the account, Mu Bai finally obtained most of the ownership of Lanjing Novel Network, and the money for buying Blue Whale Novel Network was Mu Bai's personal money. Therefore, in essence, Lanjing Novel Network and Tian Topstar Anime has nothing to do with it.

"Junior Mu Bai, I'm leaving first!" With a forced smile, Han Simiao said his farewell directly, and if he stayed here again, he would feel even more heartbroken.

After sending Han Simiao away, Mu Bai first summoned all the employees. The new boss will take over, so the employees must meet, right?
"Hi everyone, I'm Mu Bai, the new general manager of the company. You can call me Mr. Mu. Now I'm calling everyone, just to meet you, so that you don't know each other!"

"Hehe, I know everyone is very busy, so let me make a long story short. First of all, Zhou Mingde is the editor-in-chief. His position will not change. If I am not in the company, his words shall prevail."

"Besides that, in terms of remuneration, everyone will increase by [-]%..."

"yeah--"

"Great!"

"Mr. Mu, you are such a good person!"

"..."

"General Manager Mu, you just raised the wages of the employees, why didn't you tell me in advance!" After the meeting, Zhou Mingde said angrily to Mu Bai: "Do you know that if you do this, the company will be more profitable?" It cost tens of thousands!"

"Hehe, it's only tens of thousands!" In the general manager's office, Mu Bai made a cup of tea for Zhou Mingde, and said with a faint smile, "By the way, Editor-in-Chief Zhou, please tell me about the situation of Lanjing.com first!"

"What do you want to know about?"

"Mainly, your staffing, website situation, author status, novel income and channels, etc.!"

"In terms of personnel, the entire company is now one editor-in-chief, that is, me. Besides me, there are three editor-in-chiefs, two male editor-in-chiefs, namely Ludao and Turtle, one female editor-in-chief Yunxi, and seven responsible editors. Plus 7 operating editors, 3 technicians, and 3 financial person, a total of 1 people!"

"As for the website, Lanjing.com's current situation is not very good. The average daily traffic is only a little over 3, and it's mainly on the male side, and the traffic on the female side is negligible..."

"Then there are about [-] monthly active users in terms of APP, which can meet the standards of third-tier APPs, but our Lanjing.com mainly focuses on channels..."

"As for the author, there are currently 376 authors under our umbrella..."

"and also……"

"Wait, we only have 376 authors?" Mu Bai interrupted Zhou Mingde directly, and asked with a surprised face: "How come there are so few?"

Zhou Mingde said unhappily: "It's not the incident last year, the author ran away halfway. If we didn't urgently increase the benefits, there are probably 200 people left now, and tonight will be good!"

When he said this, Zhou Mingde still had a displeased expression on his face, obviously the incident last year made him brood.Mu Bai suddenly touched his nose unnaturally, and didn't dare to tell Zhou Mingde that what happened to your website last year was caused by me...

"Ahem, editor-in-chief Zhou, keep talking!"

Zhou Mingde looked at Mubai suspiciously, a little surprised at the other party's reaction, and continued: "In general, the income from novels is not much, about one or two million a year, most of them are The benefits generated by the channel..."

"Currently our channels are mainly Penguin Bookstore, S Reading, Migu, Zong*, T Reading, etc..."

"As for the works, last year there were a total of eight outstanding works, namely..."

Mu Bai nodded and said: "Generally speaking, the condition of our website has been very good, and it's not too bad. Especially there are too few outstanding works. In the words of the authors, the effect of making money is not good, and then there is no High benefits attract authors..."

"However, high welfare requires high investment, and the company only has more than 300 million in its account!" Of course Zhou Mingde knew that increasing welfare could attract some authors. In fact, he had already done so, but the effect was not as expected!
