Chapter 315 Writers Annual Meeting
This is a five-story old commercial building.
It is also the office area of Hongmeng Literature and Hongmeng Comics.
Within Hongmeng, although these two sub-businesses are developing well, they are only small and transparent compared to real giants such as Yihaodian, Sina, Bing, and Hongmeng Games.
Sit at the back during meetings and stay at the end when speaking.
However, Xu Liang paid a lot of attention to them.
Both literature and comics are indispensable and important puzzle pieces for pan-entertainment. If you lay the foundation now, the future will benefit.
“Mr. Xu.”
Seeing Xu Liang push the door in, Wu Wenhui quickly stood up to greet him.
“Don’t be nervous, it’s nothing serious.”
After sitting down in the reception area next to it.
“I have read the report you submitted for the first quarter of this year, and it is developing well.”
Hongmeng Literature now has three websites.
Fantasy Sword, Red Sleeves and Oak Literature Network.
As of the first quarter, the three websites have a total of 1,227 officially contracted writers.
Compared with the huge number that would easily reach millions in later generations, it was only a fraction.
There is no other way. It is a buyer’s market now and there are no competitors. Of course, Hongmeng Literature will choose the best.
There are few writers, and Hongmeng Literature does not have the revenue of tens of billions of Chinese dollars in later generations.
For the entire first quarter of 2002, revenue was 12.8 million yuan and net profit was 2.47 million Chinese yuan.
Not much, but it is really developing well.
"Thanks to the support of our brother companies, otherwise we would not be able to develop so fast." Wu Wenhui said sincerely.
The novel channel of Pangu Browser, the novel channel of Bing and Sina will all jump to the Hongmeng Literature page after clicking.
Brings them a lot of traffic.
Xu Liang smiled and nodded, "The traffic support from the head office is of course important, but I also value your management capabilities. For example, the proposal for the 'Writers' Annual Meeting' you submitted this time is good."
“You agree?” Wu Wenhui said in surprise.
"Why don't you agree? Inviting the top writers to chat, have fun, and visit the company can not only give them status satisfaction, but also strengthen the cohesion of the company. It kills two birds with one stone.
But apart from the writers At the annual meeting, we can also set up a training class for writers to provide certain writing guidance to those who have a certain future and love literary writing.”
“Mr. Xu, your idea is good, although online writing is also useful. Talent, but there are also some stylized writing routines and intensive training can also cultivate more good writers."
After Xu Liang nodded, "Remember, don't invite those serious literary authors for training. It’s two different things from online literature.”
“I understand.”
After explaining Wu Wenhui, Xu Liang went to Hongmeng Comics again.
Compared with the universality of Hongmeng literature, the development of Hongmeng comics is much slower. After all, comic talents are too scarce.
Across the country, anyone who has graduated from junior high school, regardless of their level, can write two short essays.
But in terms of comics, without long-term training, no one would even read the drawings.
Compared to novels, comics need to be cultivated more.
When working, time always passes quickly, and it’s night in the blink of an eye.
I had just had dinner and was preparing to draw when Jiang Xiaoyang called.
“Have you eaten?”
“I just came back from eating.” Jiang Xiaoyang’s tone was filled with pleasure.
“It seems that the acquisition of Nanfu went smoothly.” Xu Liang said with a smile.
"It's pretty smooth."
"How much?"
"USD 50 million to acquire 72% of Nanfu's equity held by Morgan Stanley, Dutch National Investment Bank and the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation. In addition, we have reached an agreement with the Nanping government to acquire the remaining 28% of the shares with 180 million Chinese dollars.
As long as there are no problems with the final inspection, we will officially allocate funds," Jiang Xiaoyang said.
"The matter of joint-stock reform is not urgent for the time being. I want to meet Chen Laimao."
"You want to meet him?"
After agreeing, Xu Liang continued: "After we acquired Nanfu Battery, it will take a long time to exit. Therefore, I need a CEO with a long-term vision. "
"I'll call him later."
"Tell me in advance after confirming the time, and I will let the Golden Eagle pick him up. It also shows that we are polite," Xu Liangdao. .
“You are willing to do so.”
"What is there to be reluctant to part with? The plane is bought for use. Wouldn't it be a waste to leave it there to rust every day."
"Okay, since you are so generous, lend it to me after three days."
“No problem.”
“Why don’t you ask me?”
“What’s mine is yours, why bother?” Xu Liang said with a smile.
"Huh, you can talk." After a pause, "Doctor and Guangming are about to merge. I am going to hold a formal merger ceremony for them, which can also be regarded as laying the foundation for listing."
"Specific The merger plan has been decided?"
"Yes. Dr. Guangming M&A, Wang Haipeng will serve as the company's CEO"
"So Wang Haipeng has won the right to reorganize the company?" Xu Liangxiao. road.
"Several lovers Chen Huatao arranged in the company were resentful and made trouble after they were kicked out by him. The CEO is the face of the company and cannot be handed over to a person with a bad reputation."< br>
Xu Liang always felt that she was containing him, so he quickly changed the topic. "I support your decision. ...We have been talking for more than half a year. Although there were some twists and turns, this matter has finally come to an end. It is not easy."
Jiang Xiaoyang responded. , I couldn’t help but recall the whole merger case in my mind.
In order to facilitate the merger of two optical shops, she spent hundreds of thousands just on air tickets, and the cost of silence was over one million. It was not easy.
It was precisely because of her hustle and bustle that she finally impressed the founders of the two companies and led to the final merger.
"Have you considered when to go public?" Xu Liang continued to change the topic.
"It is planned to be listed in Xiangjiang in September, and the securities company is CITIC."
"Well. ...This matter is done, and then we will promote Yongkang Dental and Jiamei Dental, Dental Doctor and Chaoju Ophthalmology , My Lai Medical Cosmetology Group and Estech Medical Cosmetology Hospital, it is relatively easy to merge similar companies.”
“I think so too, but I don’t know how many companies will be successful in the end,” Jiang Xiaoyang said.
"Do your best to obey fate. If they really don't want to, forget it."
"Yeah."
"The next target is Suguo, right?" Xu Liang said.
After responding, Jiang Xiaoyang said: "I have already told Liao Yan that after completing Nanfu's due diligence and completing the investment, I will officially start contacting Suguo."
" Take action as soon as possible, don't let others get there first."
"Did you get any news?" Jiang Xiaoyang said.
"There is no news, but I feel that the pace of integration in the domestic retail industry is accelerating. Last year, Hualian, Supermarket Fa, and Xidan jointly established Xidan Hualian Supermarket; Vanke acquired PARKnSHOP, Wumart Group merged with Beijing Pujinda Supermarket, and the newly established Capital Business Association soon.
If we move slowly, Suguo Supermarket may have new competitors.”
Xu Liang remembered that China Resources acquired Suguo, but he didn’t know the details. When, so it can only be covered up by development trends.
"I noticed it too. Don't worry, I will speed up."
"Yeah."
After the two chatted for a while, Xu Liang hung up the phone.
One night passed quickly.
——
Wangjing Building Hongmeng Headquarters.
“Mr. Xu, morning.”
"Morning."
Xu Liang came to his office. Not long after, Lu Hui opened the door and walked in.
"Mr. Xu, he's here."
"Let him in."
After Lu Hui nodded, she left shortly after leaving with a man wearing a Wearing a gray suit and black-rimmed glasses, a young man in his thirties or seventeen years old stepped in.
Xu Liang stepped forward to greet him.
"Mr. Yang, welcome to Hongmeng."
Yang Tingkun said quickly: "Hongmeng is a great technology company, and it is an honor for me to join it."
" Please take a seat.”
“Thank you.”
"After a while, the company will hold a monthly president's meeting, and I will formally introduce you to everyone at that time."
Yang Tingkun nodded.
After a brief chat, Xu Liang looked at the time.
“That’s almost it, let’s go.”
The two of them came to the large conference room one after another.
Most of the top management of Hongmeng Company have arrived.
COO Xie Wen, CFO Xiang Jie, CTO Shen Weiguo, HR Fang Dexin, and Marketing Department He Guiyou.
Crisis Public Relations Department Zhao Tai, Hardware Management Department Ye Lei, Network Security Department Zhao Hongwei, Administration Department Yu Hongming.
Bing Yu Jun, Yihaodian Qian Santai, Hongmeng Games Wu Xifan, Sina Wang Zhidong, Hongmeng Music Xiang Lili and other subsidiary executives.
Everyone who can participate in the president's meeting is basically a Hongmeng vice president, subsidiary or department president-level executive.
"Mr. Xu..."
Seeing Xu Liang come in, everyone stood up to greet him.
Xu Liang smiled and nodded, "Before the meeting, I will introduce a new colleague to you."
Everyone's eyes instantly fell on Yang Tingkun.
Not everyone is unfamiliar with him. Xie Wen and Fang Dexin are very familiar with him.
"This is Mr. Yang Tingkun, the database expert we just recruited.
Mr. Yang is from Tangshan, Hebei Province. He graduated from the Department of Mathematics of Huaqing University in 1989; in the same year, he entered the California Institute of Technology as a government-sponsored international student.

Everyone was surprised by Yang Tingkun's series of illustrious names.
It can be said that the other party is definitely a top expert in the field of computer science.
They are also top talents that Hongmeng has recruited over the years.
"Mr. Yang is the top expert in the database field in the world, and he is also the top talent that Hongmeng is longing for. After our many communications, Mr. Yang will join Hongmeng and serve as the president of Pangu Company, fully responsible for the company's database research and development. And the development of big data business.”
After saying that, Xu Liang turned his head.
