Chapter 23 Not only do I want it to be brought back to life, I also want to make it famous in Hong Kong!
"It's a pity that all four of my daughters are married. Otherwise, if you were my son-in-law, I would have a successor." The chartering king said with emotion.
His youngest daughter is 28 years old this year and got married a few years ago.
"Mr. Bao's sons-in-law are said to be talented people, and now you also have a successor." Su Cheng laughed.
Marry a boss’s daughter? Although it looks very good, it is not suitable for Su Cheng. With his current achievements, he does not need to be a soft rice.
Besides, marrying the daughter of a boss would be too restrictive, and he didn't want to give up the entire forest for a tree.
The chat between the two continued until about nine o'clock in the evening.
"It's getting late. I had a great time chatting with Mr. Bao tonight. How about we not disturb Mr. Bao's rest for now? Let's chat another day when we are free." Su Cheng looked at his watch. He stood up and said to the charter king.
"Okay, Mr. Su, please pay attention to safety on the road. I, Bao, welcome you to come as a guest at any time!" The chartering king stood up and shook hands with Su Cheng.
"By the way, Mr. Bao, I hope you don't tell anyone about our conversation today, even to the people closest to you." Su Cheng reminded before leaving.
"Don't worry, Mr. Su. I've made it this far. I still understand these things. Besides, I'm afraid you'll tell my story. It's better for everyone to keep it secret." The chartering king said with a smile.
Before going out, the chartering king specially took two bottles of Maotai from the wine cabinet and gave them to Su Cheng. Su Cheng was not polite about this. Although he didn't like drinking very much, it was good to keep them for collection.
Su Cheng did not tell the charter king that he already held more than 18% of Hutchison Whampoa stock, because this was a trump card and could not be released easily.
Farewell to the Charter King. Before going home, Su Cheng sent Zhang Qizheng back to Tianyuan Building, where his car was.
Sitting in the back seat, Su Cheng thought about the conversation tonight and was very satisfied with this meeting with the charter king.
Moreover, judging from the charter king's attitude towards him, the two can stand on a united front for the time being.
The next day, Su Cheng slept until noon, then slowly washed up and had lunch. As for breakfast, it had been skipped.
After that was done, Su Cheng asked the driver to take him to the Su Group headquarters.
The Su family villa is on Barker Road on the edge of Central, and the headquarters of Su Group is also in Central, so it is very convenient to get there.
The reason why Su Tianhe bought the villa on Baijia Road was to make it easier to get to the company.
Arriving at the headquarters of the Su Group, every employee I met would respectfully call him "Director Su" along the way, and Su Cheng would nod in response one by one.
The company has gradually returned to normal since the meeting that day. Although the stock price fell sharply after the group announcement was released, this has nothing to do with the employees. After all, they do not hold shares in the Su Group. .
When he arrived on the sixth floor and passed by Sister Zhang's office, Su Cheng knocked on the door.
"Please come in." A female voice came from the door.
Su Cheng opened the door and saw Sister Zhang writing something with her head down. It was not until Su Cheng called "Sister Zhang" that she quit her working state.
"Dr. Su, please sit down." Sister Zhang stood up quickly and got a glass of hot water for Su Cheng.
"I didn't disturb your work, right?" Su Cheng took the water glass and asked with a smile.
"That's not true. It's just that when I first started taking up this position, my workload increased a lot, so I felt a little busy. I'll just wait for a while to get used to it." Sister Zhang replied.
"How is the privatization of the group going?" Su Cheng asked.
“I submitted the application to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange yesterday afternoon. They are currently going through the process. It is expected that the privatization will be officially completed next Monday. The delisting announcement has also been announced this morning. "Xiangjiang Securities News" announced that during this period, our stocks will still trade normally until the delisting process is completed," Zhang Jiehui reported.
"Well, that's fine, thank you for your hard work." Su Cheng said. "These are all what I should do."
Only 0.6% of Su Group's shares are left on the stock market. Su City also arranged to stay in the previous trading group One person continues to acquire shares in Su Group until completion of the delisting is received.
This can be regarded as an explanation to the investors, although many of the investors who hold shares may have lost their pants.
After all, when Su Tianhe was alive, the total market value of the Su Group once reached more than 400 million Hong Kong dollars. Now, it is only over 200 million Hong Kong dollars. If investors had invested in stocks at the peak, they would have almost lost money. half.
"By the way, Sister Zhang, haven't you encountered anything undecidable so far?" Su Cheng suddenly asked.
In the past few days, he has not been in the Su Group for a long time, and he does not know much about the various businesses of the group.
"Dr. Su, it's true. Our Su Group has a subsidiary company responsible for operating literary newspapers. I believe you know the current newspaper environment in Hong Kong, Mr. Su. It's too intense, and the most important thing about literary newspapers is You must have good works, otherwise you will not be able to compete with other competitors.
And first-line writers will not submit articles to our newspaper. Under such circumstances, our subsidiary is basically at a loss. In the past, because the losses were not large, former Director Su did not cancel it, but now in order to reduce the group’s loss rate, I am considering whether to cancel the literary newspaper business, so this decision needs to be made by you, Director Su.”
< br>Sister Zhang took out a stack of information and handed it to Su Cheng while saying.
Su Cheng took the information in his hand and briefly looked at it.
This subsidiary of Su Group is called Chivalry Literature Media Co., Ltd. It mainly has two products, namely "Chivalry Literature Novel Newspaper" and "Chivalry Literature Monthly", a newspaper and a magazine.
"Chivalry Literature Novel Newspaper" is a serial newspaper of novels published every day. As for "Chivalry Literature Monthly", as the name suggests, it is a literary magazine that is published once a month.
At its peak, "Chivalrous Literature Novel Journal" sold tens of thousands of copies a day, but now it has dropped to less than a thousand copies a day. As for "Chivalrous Literature Monthly", as early as a few months ago, Sales have been temporarily suspended.
Such a situation is not surprising. Fortunately, there are not many employees in Chiayi Literature Media Co., Ltd., and the company’s expenses are not very large, otherwise it would have been shut down by Su Tianhe long ago.
Su Cheng put down the information and thought for a moment.
Literary magazines and newspapers will be a sunset industry in the future. With the popularity of computers and mobile phones, their sales are declining.
However, in this era, computers are not yet popular, let alone mobile phones, so there is still a lot to do. This is why there are nearly 70 newspaper media in this small city at the same time. If you include magazines and the like, it will be doubled several times.
If the sales of a newspaper are very good, the advertising revenue will also be very considerable.
The most important thing is that in the future, although newspapers and magazines will no longer be popular, literary novels will not be buried because of this, but will be promoted in another form.
In his previous life, Su Cheng once read a piece of news: ""Harry Potter" has become a super IP valued at US$25 billion."
In addition to "Harry Potter", there are many other novels, The value is not cheap. If you don’t get these for yourself in advance, it will be a waste!
With Xiao Ai in Sioux City, writing a novel like "Harry Potter" is just a simple matter.
But before that, there is no need to take out these kings so quickly. You can first take out a martial arts novel and develop Chivalrous Literature Media Co., Ltd.
There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. After all, "Harry Potter" will not be written until 1997. Before that, as long as Sioux City writes it, it will be Sioux City's own.
A billionaire takes it upon himself to write a novel? It seems strange, but Su Cheng doesn't care about this. As long as he develops Chivalrous Literature Media Co., Ltd. and writes some novels, it doesn't matter. Anyway, he just uses his boring time to write. Why should he have to deal with tens of billions of dollars? Can't make it?
J.K. Rowling has achieved a net worth of over one billion US dollars relying on the "Harry Potter" series of novels. If she develops the value herself, she can earn even more.
"No need to close it, leave this matter to me, give me a few days, by then I will not only bring Chivalrous Literature and Media Co., Ltd. back to life, but also make it famous in Hong Kong!" Su Cheng said with confidence said.
Moreover, since we want to build a giant group, every subsidiary is a part of it and cannot be given up easily.
