Chapter 291 [Domination of Xiangjiang Comics Industry]
June 27, Monday.
Wanhui Media officially announced that it had acquired 51% of the shares of Yulang Group, won the acquisition battle, and launched a comprehensive acquisition as usual and started the delisting process; at the same time, Wanhui Media took over the board of directors of Yulang Group
, and hold the former chairman responsible for 'bad debts'.
Accompanied by the senior management of Wanhui Media, Lin Zuhui came to Yulang Group and held a management meeting.
At the meeting, more than 20 chief writers were all invited to the meeting.
Lin Zuhui first said: "From today on, Yulang Group has changed its name to 'Wanhui Comics Society' and is a subsidiary of Wanhui Media. From now on, we will monopolize the comics industry in Xiangjiang."
The office was quiet, and many of Huang Yulang's disciples seemed a little unconvinced!
Luo Bencheng, the general manager appointed by Lin Zuhui, reminded everyone: "The former chairman of the board of directors, Mr. Huang Yulang, is likely to be sentenced to more than 4 years in prison for fabricating false accounts and obtaining cash from the company! Dear editors, please think carefully.
Now, it is a fact that he has committed illegal crimes. Do you still want to wait for him for four years before making a comeback? By then, I am afraid we will have already become the overlord of comics that no one can challenge."
Four years, plus the time it takes to make a comeback, is enough for a lead author to lose nearly 10 million.
At this time, the master-disciple relationship is no longer enough to maintain. After all, how can people who have enjoyed a superior life be willing to give up!
Suddenly, some of the more than 20 chief writers began to take the lead in expressing support for the new owner, and the rest joined in. Even several of Huang Yulang's apprentices spoke out.
Next, Lin Zuhui began to appoint new management. This time Wanhui Media dispatched a total of five management personnel, aiming to completely integrate Yulang Group.
After the meeting, Lin Zuhui, Long Jingchang, and Luo Bencheng came to the office.
Lin Zuhui said: "I will issue a statement immediately and will pursue legal channels to recover the cash that Huang Yulang robbed the company."
Luo Bencheng nodded and said: "Okay, I'll do it right away! If Huang Yulang can't pay back, then apply to the court to confiscate his mansion, luxury car, club card, mobile phone, BB machine, etc., and never let the company
loss!"
Huang Yulang can definitely afford to pay back the money. As long as he sells his shares to Wanhui Media, he will have a lot of money.
Of course, he also has a lot of debt, and he probably won't have much money left in the end.
This generation of ‘heroes’ has been so miserably miserable that there really is no one left!
At this time, Huang Yulang has not yet been imprisoned, and the law also requires a lot of procedures. In the end, Huang Yulang may have to be sentenced by the High Court before Huang Yulang will be imprisoned and serve his sentence. As for how many years he will be sentenced, it is expected to be four years, but the actual sentence may only be two years.
.
In this acquisition battle of Yulang Group, Wanhui Media is boiling a frog in warm water and waiting for Huang Yulang to make mistakes step by step.
In the end, Huang Yulang took the risk and misappropriated the company's money for his own personal acquisition.
From the beginning, Lin Zuhui calculated that if Huang Yulang did not join for a few years, then even if he acquired Yulang Group, he might have to lose most of the main writers. After all, as long as Huang Yulang waved his hand, at least ten main writers would be willing to work with him.
Start the stove.
This is what Lin Zuhui doesn’t want to see!
Sending him in is the best way, which is also Lin Zuhui's fundamental intention to adopt a "boiling frog in warm water" takeover war.
Finally, Lin Zuhui said to Long Jingchang and Luo Bencheng: "After the privatization is successful, we will prepare to sell all the magazines, TV newspapers, etc. of the Yulang Group, and only retain the comic business. Among them, President Long of Sin Chew Daily must actively
Send people to Malay to assist the president and editor-in-chief there to resume publication and provide financial support. This newspaper will be directly managed by Wanhui Media!"
Currently, Wanhui Media does not distribute newspapers overseas. "Tian Tian Daily" is only distributed in Macau at most and cannot enter the Taiwan market because "Tian Tian Daily" is a little pro-mainland.
"Sin Chew Daily" will make up for this shortcoming. This newspaper has achieved great results in its previous life and is the most popular newspaper among Malay Chinese. After the resumption of publication in its previous life, it has achieved great results and influence.
Of course, in fact, as the boss, Lin Zuhui generally cannot interfere with press freedom.
Even if it is "Tian Tian Daily", he will not interfere excessively with press freedom. Otherwise, once he is complained by the news team or citizens, he will be in trouble. However, in the general direction, Lin Zuhui has some influence, so "Tian Tian Daily"
The Daily News as a whole will not go astray.
Long Jingchang immediately said: "Don't worry, boss, I will definitely go to Malaysia in person to support the Sin Chew Daily team."
Lin Zuhui nodded. Although "Sin Chew Daily" belongs to Wanhui Media, the team there has great independence, at least in terms of news content. As locals, they know the local area
What kind of newspaper do the Chinese need? They also know how to cooperate with the government and run newspapers with the government's permission.
"Manager Luo, in addition to integrating the comics division of Wanhui Media, you also need to prepare to move the division to the News Building. There is enough office space there."
"Okay, boss!"
After making some arrangements, Lin Zuhui relaxed.
After splitting, selling, and getting back the money that Huang Yulang swallowed, it is estimated that 300 million can be used to repay debts; equivalently, Lin Zuhui only spent 500 million to buy the comics industry of Yuk Lang Group, "Sin Chew Daily"
". Among them, "Sin Chew Daily" is worth 100 million, so the comic industry only needs to spend 400 million, which is quite cost-effective.
Through the integration, Wanhui Media's comics division will occupy 85% of the comics industry in Xiangjiang. Next, Lin Zuhui plans to strengthen the export of Xiangjiang comics overseas. After all, many comics have markets abroad.
As for plagiarizing Japanese comics, Lin Zuhui read some, such as "Slam Dunk", but he just didn't know how to do it.
But it doesn't matter, Lin Zuhui will not force it.
.......
In a luxurious apartment in Repulse Bay, Huang Yulang sat listlessly on the sofa, recalling scenes from the past.
At its peak, Ok Lang Group was comparable to Wanhui Media. It even sailed overseas and went to Malaysia to acquire Sin Chew Daily. How proud was I at that time!
A billionaire is on his way to become a billionaire. How did he get to this point?
Huang Yulang was a little confused!
The 1987 stock market crash was my own Waterloo. There is no doubt about this. Individuals and companies lost a total of 500 million;
Then, Sin Chew Daily was asked by Malay to suspend publication. This impact was not huge;
The Financial Times, which had spent huge sums of money to build, was shut down after 72 days of publication, and even attracted a lawsuit;
After being acquired, the performance of daily newspapers and magazines such as "Sing Pao", "Youth" and "Hong Kong Weekly" was immediately unsatisfactory.
Some people say that they only know how to acquire and not digest. Is this really the case?
Isn't it better to use investors' money to make acquisitions when expanding business?
For a time, Huang Yulang thought a lot!
In the end, he returned to the essence of the problem!
"In the final analysis, it was because of Lin Zuhui's constant pressure that I made mistakes, fabricated false accounts, and was likely to be imprisoned!"
"Lin Zuhui, you are so cruel!"
"I can't be defeated!"
"I am Ma Liang, the magic pen!"
"A bald pen can make me make a comeback!"
I don’t know how long it took, but there was a knock on the door!
Huang Yulang hurriedly opened the door, hoping that the twenty or so most trusted writers would appear at the door.
As long as their group changes jobs, even if Lin Zuhui acquires Yulang Group, it will be at a huge discount.
"Why are you?"
Standing at the door were Ma Mengni and his two sons and one daughter, which surprised Huang Yulang.
Ma Mengni looked at her haggard ex-husband and recalled how powerful he was in 1987, even his wife and children could be abandoned.
"Who do you wish you were, at this time?"
Ma Mengni is not here to quarrel, but to get back together.
"Forget it, I know you are here to see my joke! Come in!"
Ma Mengni did not refute, and walked into the house with her son and daughter, letting the children play with their father, while she began to clean up the house.
It wasn't until everything was sorted that Ma Mengni said: "I asked for some information from Yulang Group!"
"Tell me about it? Why don't my good disciples come to see me? How many benefits has the new master given them?"
Ma Mengni said: "Don't misunderstand them, Qi Wenjie and the others quietly told me that if you prepare to make a comeback that day, he will come to accompany you to fight! But the problem now is that you may be imprisoned, and no one dares
Resign immediately, after all, if they don't make any money in a few years, how can you still support them?"
Huang Yulang said excitedly: "Is what you said true? Wenjie and the others really said that?"
"You can ask them later. Recently, Wanhui Media is rectifying the Yulang Group. I heard that they will go to Linlin Court to hold you accountable for your 'bad debt liability'. What are you going to do?"
"Haha, I will just sell the shares to Wanhui Media! Return the money to the company and say that I am just borrowing it and there is no need to go to jail."
At this time, Huang Yulang had made up his mind, that is, to give up Yulang Group, quickly sell the shares (Wanhui Media was obliged to make a full acquisition), and pay off the debt.
Then, ask a lawyer to appeal for you and try not to go to jail.
At that time, I will cheer up and start over again!
He wants Hong Kong people to understand: "I! Huang Yulang! I am still the most popular author in the market!"
At the end of the reunion, Ma Mengni proposed getting back together, which also made Huang Yulang extremely happy.
When he was at the peak of his life, he abandoned his wife and children and played with some starlets and promiscuous women; but once he reached the bottom of his life, he missed the embrace of his family, especially his three children.
"Don't worry, after I sell my stocks, I will still be a billionaire! What's more, my real wealth is the pen in my hand, which will definitely make you live a good life."
"Well, as long as you can live a good life, your wealth is like smoke in the past. It's enough to be able to raise three children!"
For a time, Huang Yulang was greatly moved!
It's a pity that the touch was only temporary. After many years, Huang Yulang still couldn't resist the young woman!
Of course, this is something for later, so I won’t mention it for now!
