Chapter 1002 : Comic Acquisition

“Ten percent?” Inside the Jiahao Hotel, Meng Huo looked at Dong Ding opposite in surprise: “You have got so many shares now?”

Dong Ding nodded and handed the paper bag on the table to Meng Huo: “And this is not Zhongxia’s shares, but the shares of the comics business. (Baidu search for the fastest and most stable update of the literature network

“Comic?” Meng Huo, putting away his file bag, frowned and said, “What does this mean.”

“That’s why I invited you over today. You can tell by looking at the contents.” Dong Ding took a breath, and then said astonishingly: “The agreement between you and me is not easy to come true. The various aspects of Zhongxia The business is now very likely to be separated from the head office and operate independently.”

Meng Huo’s heart sank: “Independent subsidiary?”

“Yes… it looks like Phoenix Company, with separate businesses.” Dong Ding nodded and said solemnly: “But our company is different from Phoenix Company. While your company’s business is independent, the head office can maintain strong control.”

“But our company’s business is independent, and different subsidiaries will be controlled by different shareholders. In the future, Zhongxia will still be a large company, but the control of the parent company over the subsidiaries will become very small. Instead, it’s like an alliance of multiple companies.”

Meng Huo opened the file bag and took out the information inside to read it. There were a lot of materials and they were very detailed. He didn’t read them all at once, but he still got enough information to prove Dong Ding’s words.

The document [shows that the share structure of Zhongxia Company is very special. The shareholders are not investors of the parent company. A large part of them are holders of shares in different businesses. For example, Zhongxia Company’s animation business consists of several shareholders’ investments. , And they invested in Zhongxia with animation.

The dedication brought by such a share structure is undoubtedly very huge!

“Why is this?” Meng Huo asked: “When Zhongxia was first established. Shouldn’t the share structure be like this?” He still remembered that when Zhongxia was first established, it was mainly based on comics. Shareholders should have the same status at that time. Will not be responsible for different business interests.

“In fact, it was like this at the beginning.”

Dong Ding shook his head, then explained. Contrary to what the world imagined, when Zhongxia Company was established, shareholders represented different interests in holding shares. One of the major reasons comes from Zhongxia’s offline channels-that is, the Zhongxia bookstore chain, which is a novel and publishing hegemon and has entered the countryside. This bookstore retains its own interests when serving Zhongxia. Therefore, As a result, other shareholders have also adopted a more profitable approach.

The shareholders used their own resources to form Zhongxia, but everyone’s shares are put in different businesses. Animation, peripherals, and the formation of animation films in the past two years. In fact, it is also part of the shareholder’s property.

“There was a Tianhui studio back then, I don’t know if you remember it,” Dong Ding said.

Meng Huo nodded: “Of course, the creator of that studio is Li Tianhui, who once owned shares in Phoenix Company… Isn’t his studio taken over by Zhongxia? It should be one of your animation studios now.”

“Yes, it seems that our company accepted it.” Dong Ding nodded, and then sighed: “But in reality, this is not accurate. Zhongxia accepted it in the name of the company. It was announced both internally and externally, but In our shareholder meeting-it is considered the asset of a certain shareholder.”

Meng Huo rubbed his brows a little tangledly: “How could this be…”

The interests of shareholders in Zhongxia are actually different. Once the shareholders jointly divide the business and establish a subsidiary. They will become like princes, nominally Zhongxia Company. But in fact they have a very large autonomy to serve their own interests.

“Does this comply with the shareholder law?” Meng Huo asked.

“Strictly speaking, this is a side-scrolling. Normal companies do not have such problems.” Dong Ding looked at Meng Huo: “Zhongxia’s shareholder structure was at the beginning of its establishment, and the interests were not negotiated compromises. This is because you The reason for the appearance…”

Outsiders don’t know that, in fact, the idea of ​​Zhongxia had to wait another year or two to be established. However, when Zhongxia was born so early, it was stimulated by He Xi. Dong Ding, who was in charge of this plan, and several other people discovered the hidden threat of Phoenix Company. They felt that they could not be delayed for too long, so they had not dealt with them properly. In the case of disputes over the interests of the parties, Zhongxia Company was established.

Originally, they judged that the company should be established first, and then interest disputes should be dealt with-but they did not expect that after Zhongxia’s formal operation, because of the different benefits of each business, interest disputes will be even more difficult to handle. Shareholders with good business are reluctant to deal with other shareholders. Sharing revenue.

This situation occurred at the beginning, but if the overall development of Zhongxia Company is good and there are signs of monopolizing the entire industry, disputes between shareholders are still likely to be resolved for the benefit of the entire company and the greater interests.

The reason for the delay is because the development of Zhongxia is not as smooth as imagined. Especially in recent years, the changes in the comics industry have made shareholders gradually lose sight of Zhongxia’s hope of surpassing Phoenix. The goal of “monopoly industry” is almost impossible to achieve. In this case, the proud shareholders Choosing to leave, the remaining shareholders gradually shift their attention to more realistic businesses-that is, personal interests.

Some shareholders tried every possible means to separate the most valuable business of Phoenix Company. The profit gap between the various departments of Zhongxia Company was too large, and the contradictions among shareholders became more and more acute. Now they can no longer be suppressed.

Compared with comics, the animation business and the film business have the highest interests. The shareholders here want to separate animation and movies separately and give them more power. In fact, this is the independence of the subsidiary and exclusive business benefits.

In the comic distribution channel, Zhongxia Company faces even greater troubles. The chain bookstore is not under the control of Zhongxia Company. It is a separate group and is a giant of China Publishing and novel distribution.

However, this giant group has recently been caught in very intense internal discussions-shareholders who prefer Zhongxia Company have gradually reduced their right to speak in the bookstore group, and that huge bookstore channel is likely to be separated from the “Zhongxia Company” in the future. Manga is sold separately’ this route.

“Your company’s own channels are developing too fast.” Dong Ding said to Meng Huo that Phoenix’s comic sales have surpassed that of Zhongxia, and it also has independent sales channels: “Zhongxia’s advantage is declining. The bookstore is threatened.”

A chain bookstore in charge of selling “Summer Magazine”. In recent years, Phoenix has felt threatened by the development of its own channels. Although they also sell “Weekly Youth”. But more than 80% of Phoenix’s comic magazines are not sold in this chain of bookstores.

The Huaxia publishing and sales market is changing because of the emergence of comics. This is a state of affairs that has never occurred in more than a decade. The channel behind Zhongxia has now lost its dominance in comic publishing, and it is still declining. This is a very dangerous sign.

Once the second or third-ranked bookstore surpasses them in comic publishing with the help of Phoenix, the leading position of Zhongxia Bookstore will be dug out, and other channels will have a firm foothold in comic publishing, and there will be a chance to gain a foothold in comic publishing. Challenge them in novels and other publications.

Because of this, Zhongxia Bookstore is responsible for the channel of Zhongxia Company. They can’t fail in comic publishing. The consequences of failure are too serious, and anyone has to think about it carefully.

The senior executives of Zhongxia Bookstore have been quarreling fiercely for two years. The current CEO has been persuading the shareholders to break away from the status of “exclusive to Zhongxia Company” in comic publishing and transform into a real comic platform.

He wants to provide resources and channels to all comic companies, including Phoenix Company. Their offline advantages are still there. Once he does this, he can not only improve channel performance, but also stabilize his comic sales territory, attracting readers to choose comics from them. .

“The opinion of that opinionated CEO has been recognized by half of the shareholders for the first time recently.” Dong Ding sighed: “The opening of our company’s exclusive channels has become inevitable. I don’t think it will take half a year. Zhongxia Bookstore. Can complete the transformation…”

This is an inevitable transformation, if it continues to be delayed. Zhongxia Bookstore will lose the initiative in the comic publishing industry-but it is a real nightmare for Zhongxia.

“Once offline channels are opened, our company’s comics business will be hit hard, and your company’s comic sales may increase by more than 50%!”

Dong Ding is well aware of Phoenix’s comics strength. Once Zhongxia Bookstore opens to it, the sales of Phoenix’s four comic magazines will skyrocket. At that time, both Zhongxia and Phoenix, which has two sales channels, will be available. Its status with Zhongxia will be completely reversed.

A few years ago, Zhongxia relied on channels to suppress Phoenix, but within half a year at the latest, Phoenix will completely suppress Zhongxia on channels. If coupled with their tyrannical comic quality, this relay race, which has been around the two companies and lasted for several years, will usher in an early victory.

“Phoenix Company will become the overlord of the comics industry. The sales volume of Zhongxia Comics may only reach half of yours. I think your personal value will increase by at least three times…” Dong Ding looked at Meng Huo, and the channels of Zhongxia Bookstore were completely opened. The moment it was given to Phoenix and other companies was also a time when the comics industry achieved amazing changes, the magnitude of which was far beyond the imagination of the world.

The current sales of Zhongxia’s comics have not lost much to Phoenix, but it is still at a stalemate. Once it opens, this stalemate will immediately collapse, and Zhongxia’s comics share will drop to about half of Phoenix’s—Wind will become The undoubted overlord of Huaxia Comics.

At that time, even if Zhongxia Company unites all comic companies from the second to tenth, their sales of comics will not exceed Phoenix. The social impact that this situation will bring and the changes of Zhongxia Company are simply unimaginable.

“This makes people not as good as the sky?”

A word flashed in Meng Huo’s mind, and Dong Ding’s words caused a lot of restlessness in his heart-he did not expect that he would win so easily, and the time was much faster than he thought.

The shareholders of Zhongxia Company want to separate their valuable business, and the decline of comics may make their actions worse.

“What are you telling me about today?” Meng Huo asked Dong Ding, and Dong Ding’s answer was so unexpected that Meng Huo was still thinking about giving up the acquisition of Zhongxia Company on his way back to Suhua. plan.

In fact, to be more accurate, Dong Ding proposed to abandon the acquisition of the entire Zhongxia Company, because this situation continues, this plan is no longer feasible. After Zhongxia’s business gradually becomes independent in the future, it will be more difficult to **** their interests from different shareholders, and they may not be willing to be acquired by Meng Huo.

Even if the environment of Zhongxia Company is deteriorating, its animation and film revenues are now quite good. The animation companies in China are booming, and many people are aiming for the huge benefits of animation and animation films.

Dong Ding wants Meng Huo to acquire the comics business of Zhongxia Company. He can cooperate in this regard.

“Before Zhongxia Bookstore opened its channels, many shareholders are now panicked and are considering giving up their holdings in comics. If I take the opportunity to work harder, I might be able to buy a lot of shares in the past few months.” Dong Ding said. As Meng Huo said, he was confident that he would accept more than 40% of the shares before Zhongxia Comics was hit hard, and the remaining less than 50% was mainly held by the Jiang family. The Jiang family did not seem to intend. Give up the comics business.

“The Jiang family doesn’t give up, how should I buy it?” Meng Huo was very strange.

“I can discuss with the Jiang family.” Dong Ding said: “If you can give me a definite answer from Mr. He Xi, I will help you persuade them to reduce their shareholding with me-similar to Phoenix, I and The Jiang family totals 40%, and 60% will be handed to you.”

He knows that Zhongxia Comics can only arise in He Xi’s hands. If He Xi can acquire Zhongxia Comics-the Jiang family will not miss such a good opportunity. After all, Jiang Tianshi and Angels cannot save the comics business now. .

Meng Huo did not make a decision on the spot. He decided to think carefully about whether the Zhongxia Company, which only had comics, had any acquisition value Once Zhongxia Bookstore opened its channels, Zhongxia Comics would be sold by other companies, especially Phoenix Company cannibalize, and its large number of cartoonists must be panic, and there is a wave of job-hopping. If Phoenix Company can seize the opportunity, it can completely package and buy these cartoonists through the release of new magazines.

They have sufficient funds, and by then the Phoenix Company will have a huge momentum, and it is estimated that few cartoonists are unwilling to defect. Thinking about it this way, Meng Huo had no reason to buy Zhongxia Comics—he just had to grab it, and the price would not be too high.

However, this method is not considered a hero, and it is easily criticized by the media. The influx of cartoonists will also bring troubles to the management of Phoenix. At the same time, because of copyright issues, these cartoonists have to start again in Phoenix Company, and their cartoons in Zhongxia Company will all be eunuchs.

What impact will a large-scale comic **** have on comic readers? Meng Huo must also seriously consider this. (To be continued…) WWW.GEILIWX.COM Happy reading every day
