Although I don’t know why Huang Yulang suddenly took the initiative to sell Tiantian Daily to him, Kang Jianfei would not refuse such a good thing.
Tiantian News was acquired by Huang Yulang more than two years ago. In addition to Hong Kong's third-largest sales volume "Tiantian Daily", it also owns gossip entertainment magazines such as "Tiantian Express". Since Huang Yulang suffered heavy losses in the stock market crash, I don't know
How many newspaper owners are staring at "Tian Tian Daily"? Huang Yulang has been holding on to it for two years without selling it.
"Looking for a place to chat for a while?" Kang Jianfei asked with a smile.
Huang Yulang said: "Please do as you wish."
Kang Jianfei said to Hong Jinbao: "Brother Sanmao, Mr. Huang and I have something to discuss."
Although Hong Jinbao was also very curious about this, he had no intention of asking. He just smiled and said, "Please do so."
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 sold Tiantian Daily to me?"
Huang Yulang has been having a hard time in the past two years. His eyes are still bloodshot at the moment, which is probably caused by insomnia last night. He threw a cigarette to Kang Jianfei, took out one and lit it himself, and said with a helpless smile: "
It's simple, because you don't have a good relationship with the Hu family."
"The Hu family of "Sing Tao Daily"?" Kang Jianfei asked.
"Yes, when He Shizhu sold his shares in Tiantian Newspaper, the Hu family was interested in taking over, and I snatched it away from Hu at a high price." Huang Yulang blew out a smoke ring and crossed his legs, "After the stock market crash, the funds in my hand
I was indeed a little nervous. If the Hu family sat down and discussed it nicely, I would have sold it to them for working capital. But they failed to negotiate, and in order to lower the price, they actually played tricks on me behind my back, causing my Yulang International to be suspended.
This is no longer just a business matter, you think I can sell newspapers to my enemies?"
"That's right, I won't sell it either." Kang Jianfei agreed with a smile, but did not completely believe Huang Yulang's words.
In fact, the Hu family really wanted to buy Tiantian Newspaper Company at that time, but Huang Yulang was very stubborn and failed to reach an agreement after several negotiations.
At this time, Zheng Jinghan suddenly intervened. This man was the ex-husband of the great singer Xu Xiaofeng. He introduced the Chinese version of "Playboy" to Hong Kong.
Zheng Jinghan also took a fancy to Huang Yulang's property, but his appetite was even greater. He wanted to unite with the Hu family and eat up the entire Yulang International.
Naturally, the Hu family would not refuse such a good thing, so the two families joined forces to acquire Yulang International. Huang Yulang was originally selling goods to several companies, and wanted to sell "Tian Tian Daily" at a high price to generate working capital, but who was willing to sell the entire Yulang International?
go out?
In order to protect his own fortune, Huang Yulang chose to make false accounts. As a result, this move was exposed by "Sing Tao Daily", the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission intervened in the investigation, and Yulang International was suspended from trading.
Now the entire Yulang International is still in the hands of Huang Yulang, but due to lack of funds, all its companies are having difficulty operating. Especially two months ago, Huang Yulang was accused of falsifying accounts. Now he is involved in a lawsuit. If he loses the case, he will have to go to jail.
.
Huang Yulang can't care so much now. He is even willing to sell Yulang International to Zheng Jinghan and Hu Xian. But the Zheng family and the Hu family are not in a hurry. They want to buy Yulang International at the lowest price - Huang Yu
Lang couldn't afford it, but they could.
As for Kang Jianfei's previous poaching of Huang Yulang's comic talents, and then his competition with Huang Yulang in the comics industry, this small contradiction is no longer worth mentioning when it comes to life and death.
Because the entire Yulang Group is in trouble, Huang Yulang's number one general, Ma Rongcheng, just handed in his resignation and left him last month. Immediately afterwards, Liu Dingjian, Feng Zhiming, Dick and other famous cartoonists also left Yulang one by one.
International looked for other opportunities, among which Dick, who was good at romance comics, also joined Kang Jianfei's Dark Horse Comics Company.
Not only comic talents, Huang Yulang's newspapers and magazines have also lost a large number of talents in the past two months.
Huang Yulang's best choice now is to sell some of the companies under Yulang International, and with the money, he can stabilize his core comic company. This is what the so-called "losing a soldier but preserving the car" means.
Huang Yulang selected Kang Jianfei as the buyer, not just because of the slight conflict between Kang Jianfei and the Hu family ("Sing Tao Daily"), but more importantly because Kang Jianfei could afford the money and had a real need to buy Tiantian Newspaper.
Although Kang Jianfei didn't understand the twists and turns, he knew that Huang Yulang must have messed up, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the initiative to talk to someone about the acquisition.
"How much is Mr. Huang going to ask for?" Kang Jianfei asked directly. As for what trouble Huang Yulang had, he didn't want to know.
Huang Yulang shook off the ashes from his cigarette, put away his smile and said: "130 million."
Kang Jianfei lit the cigarette that Huang Yulang gave him, and sighed: "It seems that Mr. Huang regards me as a scapegoat."
Huang Yulang said: "At the beginning of 1987, I bought 75 shares of Tiantian Newspaper Industry from He Shizhu for 77 million, and then bought the remaining shares from Wei Jianbang for 23 million. I originally bought Tiantian News
The newspaper industry spent 100 million. More than two years have passed, and the sales volume of "Tiantian Daily" has increased by one-fifth in my hands. 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 was exactly half a year before the stock market crash. At that time, there were major acquisitions happening every month in Hong Kong, and the stock prices of major companies were artificially high.
Your purchase of Tiantian Newspaper itself is an extremely high-priced acquisition."
Huang Yulang sighed and said, "It seems that Mr. Kang is no longer interested in the Tiantian newspaper industry."
Kang Jianfei said: "It depends on Mr. Huang's asking price, whether it exceeds my interest. Perhaps, regarding the specific price, I can send a representative to slowly negotiate with Mr. Huang."
Huang Yulang didn't have time to talk slowly. He put out the cigarette butt hard and asked, "How much does Mr. Kang think is appropriate?"
Kang Jianfei made an "eight" sign with his right index finger and thumb and said: "Up to 80 million."
Huang Yulang laughed angrily: "For 80 million, I might as well sell it to Hu Xian!"
Kang Jianfei also smiled and said: "I'm afraid the price quoted by Hu Xian is not even 80 million."
Huang Yulang stood up angrily and said, "If Mr. Kang is not sincere, then we don't need to talk."
"Mr. Huang, please stay!" Kang Jianfei said with a smile, "If you have something to say, let's talk it over. Why do you have to be like a child and get angry if you don't agree with me?"
Huang Yulang's anger was also pretended. He sat back in his seat with a cold face and said, "I hope Mr. Kang can show some sincerity."
Kang Jianfei seemed to have remembered something, and exaggeratedly slapped his forehead and said: "Oh, by the way, I heard some time ago that Mr. Huang was involved in a lawsuit and made false accounts. Now the major companies under Yulang International are under investigation.
.If this account is not cleared up, I won’t dare to buy it, and I might even be charged with obstructing judicial investigation.”
Huang Yulang's face turned dark when he heard this. Except for Hu Xian, Zheng Jinghan and other people who wanted to expand their territory in the media industry, no one in Tiantian Newspaper was willing to acquire it. One of the reasons was Yulang International's false accounting lawsuit.
"Mr. Kang, please rest assured that the performance of Tiantian Daily is very good and there is no need for me to make false accounts." Huang Yulang said word by word.
Kang Jianfei tapped his forehead with his fingers and suddenly said: "How about this, Mr. Huang, I will pay 200 million..."
"My comic company won't sell it!" Huang Yulang interrupted Kang Jianfei before he could finish. Kang Jianfei raised the price to 200 million, so naturally he 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 you 200 million to buy your copies of "Tiantian Daily", "Tiantian Express", "Star TV", "Financial Daily", "Fresh"
Weekly", and the Tiantian Color Printing Company, which was spun off from Tiantian Newspaper Industry, also belongs to me."
Since the listing of Yulang International, Huang Yulang has transformed into a Hong Kong media tycoon. At its peak, he published more than 20 newspapers and magazines at the same time.
Not all of the publications Kang Jianfei selected are the highest-selling ones, but they include traditional daily newspapers, gossip newspapers, entertainment magazines, financial magazines and lifestyle magazines.
In addition, Kang Jianfei also named Tiantian Color Printing Company, Huang Yulang immediately understood that Kang Jianfei was going to fully enter the media industry. What's more, Kang Jianfei already had two TV stations, Phoenix TV and Macau Satellite TV, as well as a wealth of celebrities.
Once entertainment resources are allowed to develop, they will definitely become a giant in Hong Kong's media industry in the future.
Although Huang Yulang has many shortcomings, his advantage is that he never gives up, so he has been able to make a comeback after many ups and downs in his life. After being hit repeatedly, Huang Yulang's ambitions still exist, but now he is plagued by lawsuits and debts.
There was no room for him to think about Kang Jianfei's big business in the media industry. The key was to survive the current crisis.
As for the hungry wolf Kang Jianfei in the media world, the biggest headache will probably be for the bosses of newspaper groups such as Jin Yong, Ma Chengkun, and Hu Xian.
Huang Yulang suddenly had the mentality of watching a good show, and he said: "These companies can be sold to you, but the price will increase by 50 million."
"Of course an extra 50 million is fine, but the Hong Kong Daily in your hand will also belong to me." Kang Jianfei said with a smile.
If it were a normal situation, there would be no need for the two bosses to bargain here and have their own negotiators conduct protracted negotiations.
However, Huang Yulang can't afford to waste time now and just wants to sell several subsidiaries as soon as possible at a good price; Kang Jianfei also doesn't want to miss this good opportunity to enter the print media, for fear that if it is delayed for a long time, there will be complications.
One of them wanted to sell, the other wanted to sell, and Kang Jianfei was not short of money, so the deal would be easy to negotiate.
In the end, Huang Yulang was still reluctant to sell the "Hong Kong Daily", but Kang Jianfei still increased the price and purchased "Tian Tian Daily", "Tian Tian Express", "Star TV", "Tian Tian Express", and "Tian Tian Daily" for HK$230 million.
