Although I don’t know why Huang Yulang suddenly took the initiative to sell the Tiantian Daily to him, Kang Jianfei would not refuse such a good thing.
Tiantian Newspaper was acquired by Huang Yulang more than two years ago. In addition to the third-selling "Tiantian Daily", it also has gossip entertainment magazines like Tiantian Express. Since Huang Yulang suffered heavy losses in the stock market crash, many newspaper bosses have stared at Tiantian Daily. Huang Yulang has been holding on for two years without selling.
"Let's find a place to chat for a while?" Kang Jianfei asked with a smile.
Huang Yulang said: "Everyone is the only one who can listen to the emperor."
Kang Jianfei said to Hong Jinbao: "Brother Sanmao, I have something to talk about with Mr. Huang."
Although Sammo Hung was also very curious about this, he did not intend to ask, and just smiled and said, "Please."
Kang Jianfei called the hotel manager, asked for a small room, and then left the restaurant side by side with Huang Yulang.
After closing the door, Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Mr. Huang, can you explain why you should sell me the "Tiantian Daily"?"
Huang Yulang has been having a bad life in the past two years. At this moment, there is still blood in his eyes, most of which was caused by insomnia last night. He threw a cigarette for Kang Jianfei, took out a little bit by himself, and smiled helplessly: "It's very simple, because you have a bad relationship with the Hu family."
"The Hu family of Sing Tao Daily?" Kang Jianfei asked.
"Yes, when He Shizhu sold Tiantian Newspaper shares, the Hu family intentionally took over. I intercepted Hu and snatched it at a high price." Huang Yulang vomited a cigarette ring and crossed his legs. "After the stock market crash, the funds in my hands were indeed a little nervous. If the Hu family sat down and discussed it kindly, I would sell them for the working capital. But they failed to negotiate. In order to reduce the price, they actually made a fool of me, which led to the suspension of my Yulang International. This is no longer a business matter. Do you think I can sell the newspaper to my enemy?"
"Yes. I won't sell it either." Kang Jianfei smiled and agreed, but did not fully believe Huang Yulang's one-sided words.
In fact, the Hu family really wanted to buy the newspaper industry every day at that time, but Huang Yulang spoke up loudly, but after several negotiations, no agreement was reached.
At this time, Zheng Jinghan suddenly intervened. This person was the ex-husband of the great singer Xu Xiaofeng. The Chinese version of "Playboy" was introduced to Hong Kong.
Zheng Jinghan also fell in love with Huang Yulang's industry, but he had a bigger appetite. He wanted to join forces with the Hu family to eat up the entire Yulang International.
The Hu family naturally would not refuse such good things, so the two companies worked together to acquire Yulang International. Huang Yulang originally sold several goods. He wanted to sell the "Tiantian Daily" with a high-priced working capital, so how could he sell the entire Yulang International?
In order to protect his own country, Huang Yulang chose to make fake accounts, but this move was exposed by the Sing Tao Daily. The Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission intervened in the investigation. Yulang International was suspended from trading.
Now the entire Yulang International is still in the hands of Huang Yulang, but due to the lack of funds, all of its companies are in difficulty in operating. Especially two months ago, Huang Yulang was accused of making fake accounts, but now he is in a lawsuit and once he loses the case, he has to go to prison.
Huang Yulang doesn't care about so much now, and he is even willing to sell Yulang International to Zheng Jinghan and Hu Xian. However, the Zheng family and Hu family are not in a hurry. They want to buy Yulang International at the lowest price - Huang Yulang can't afford it. But they can afford it.
As for Kang Jianfei's previous comics talents under Huang Yulang, and then competed with Huang Yulang in the comics industry. This little conflict is no longer worth mentioning at the critical moment of life and death.
Because the entire Yulang Group was in a dilemma, Ma Rongcheng, the number one general under Huang Yulang, just handed his resignation last month and left him. Immediately afterwards, famous comics such as Liu Dingjian, Feng Zhiming, and Dick also left Yulang International one by one to find another way out. Among them, Dick, who is good at love comics, also joined Kang Jianfei's dark horse comic company.
Not only comics talents, but also newspapers and magazines under Huang Yulang, but also a large number of talents have been lost in the past two months.
Huang Yulang's best choice now is to sell some of the companies under Yulang International, and then stabilize his core comic company with money. This is what it means to lose pawns and protect cars.
Huang Yulang chose Kang Jianfei as the buyer, not just because of the little conflict between Kang Jianfei and the Hu family (Sing Tao Daily), but more importantly, Kang Jianfei can afford money and does have the need to buy the Tiantian newspaper industry.
Although Kang Jianfei didn't understand the twists and turns, he knew that Huang Yulang must have been in trouble, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to ask someone to discuss the acquisition.
"How much is Mr. Huang going to ask?" Kang Jianfei asked directly. As for Huang Yulang's trouble, he didn't want to know.
Huang Yulang shook the ashes, put away his smile and said, "130 million."
Kang Jianfei lit Huang Yulang's cigarette and sighed: "It seems that Mr. Huang treats me as a sucker."
Huang Yulang said: "In the early 1987, I bought 75% of Tiantian News Agency's shares from He Shizhu for 77 million, and then bought the remaining shares from Wei Jianbang for 23 million. I spent 100 million to buy Tiantian News Agency. More than two years have passed, and the sales volume of Tiantian Daily in my hands has increased by one fifth. The selling price of 130 million is not high, right?
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Mr. Huang, don't forget that when you bought Tiantian Newspaper, it happened to be the first half of the year of the stock market crash. At that time, major acquisitions occurred every month in Hong Kong, and the stock prices of major companies were inflated. If you bought Tiantian Newspaper, it was a very high-priced acquisition."
Huang Yulang sighed: "It seems that Mr. Kang is no longer interested in Tiantian newspapers."
Kang Jianfei said: "It depends on Mr. Huang's asking price, which is not more than my interest. Perhaps, in terms of specific prices, I can send a representative to talk to Mr. Huang slowly."
Huang Yulang could not wait to talk slowly. He pressed the cigarette butt hard and asked, "How much does Mr. Kang think it's appropriate?"
Kang Jianfei compared the index finger of his right hand with the word "eight" and said, "The maximum is 80 million."
Huang Yulang laughed furiously: "I might as well sell it to Hu Xian!"
Kang Jianfei also smiled and said, "I'm afraid the price Hu Xian quoted is not 80 million."
Huang Yulang stood up angrily and said, "If Mr. Kang is not sincere, we don't have to talk about it."
"Mr. Huang, please stay!" Kang Jianfei said with a smile, "If you have something to say, why bother to be like a child, and you will be angry if you disagree."
Huang Yulang pretended to be angry. He sat back in the seat with a cold face and said, "I hope Mr. Kang will show some sincerity."
Kang Jianfei seemed to remember something, and slapped his forehead exaggeratedly and said, "Oh, by the way, I heard that Mr. Huang had a lawsuit and made a fake account some time ago. Now the major companies under Yulang International are under investigation. If this account is not found out clearly, I would not dare to buy it, and maybe I would be accused of obstructing judicial investigation."
Huang Yulang's face turned dark when he heard this. Apart from Hu Xian and Zheng Jinghan and other people who wanted to expand their territory in the media industry, no one was willing to acquire Tiantian Newspaper. One of the reasons was Yulang International's fake account lawsuit.
"Mr. Kang, please rest assured. The performance of Tiantian Daily is very good, so I don't need to make fake accounts." Huang Yulang said word by word.
Kang Jianfei tapped his forehead with his finger and suddenly said, "How about this, Mr. Huang, I will pay 200 million..."
"My comics company won't sell it!" Huang Yulang interrupted before Kang Jianfei finished speaking. Kang Jianfei raised the price to 200 million yuan, so he naturally wanted to buy other things from him.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in your comic company. I'll pay 200 million yuan to buy the Tiantian Daily, Tiantian Express, Star TV, Financial Daily, Qingxin Weekly, and Tiantian Color Printing Company, which was separated from Tiantian Newspaper, belongs to me."
Since Yulang International was listed, Huang Yulang has transformed into a Hong Kong media tycoon, and at the peak, he has published more than 20 newspapers and magazines at the same time.
Not every one of the magazines selected by Kang Jianfei is the highest-selling one, but they include different types such as traditional daily newspapers, gossip newspapers, entertainment magazines, financial magazines and life magazines.
In addition, Kang Jianfei also called for a color printing company in Tiantian. Huang Yulang instantly understood that Kang Jianfei wanted to enter the media industry in an all-round way. What's more, Kang Jianfei already has two TV stations, Phoenix TV and Macau TV, as well as rich celebrity entertainment resources. Once he develops, he will definitely become a giant in the Hong Kong media industry in the future.
Although Huang Yulang has many problems, his advantage is that he never gives up, so he has been able to make a comeback after several ups and downs in his life. After being hit by consecutive blows, Huang Yulang's ambitions still exist. However, now he is full of lawsuits and debts, so he can no longer consider Kang Jianfei's big things in the media industry. The key is to overcome the current crisis.
As for the hungry wolf Kang Jianfei, the media industry, the most troublesome one should probably be the bosses of newspaper groups such as Jin Yong, Ma Chengkun, and Hu Xian.
Huang Yulang suddenly developed a good attitude, and he said: "These companies can be sold to you, but the price will be increased by 50 million."
"Of course it's okay to add 50 million, but the Hong Kong Daily you have also belongs to me." Kang Jianfei smiled.
If it is normal, there is no need for the two bosses to bargain here, and their own negotiators have conducted protracted negotiations.
However, Huang Yulang can't afford to delay time now, so he just wants to sell several subsidiaries at a good price as soon as possible; and Kang Jianfei doesn't want to miss this good opportunity to enter the paper media, for fear that it will cause troubles if it delays for a long time.
One of them wants to sell and the other wants to sell, and Kang Jianfei is not short of money, so the deal is easy to negotiate.
