"Ten percent?" In Jiahao Hotel, Meng Huo looked at Dong Ding opposite in surprise: "You have got so many shares now?"

Dong Ding nodded, and handed the document bag on the table to Meng Huo: "And this is not the shares of Zhongxia, but the shares of the comic business. (Baidu search for the fastest and most stable update of Wenxue.com)"

"Cartoon?" Meng Huo put away the file bag and frowned, "What does that mean?"

"That's why I invited you here today, you'll know what's inside." Dong Ding took a breath, and then said surprisingly: "The agreement between me and you is not easy to come true. There is a high possibility that the business will now be separated from the head office and run independently."

Meng Huo's heart sank: "An independent subsidiary?"

"Yes...on the surface, it's just 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 still maintain a strong control."

"But our company's business is independent, and different subsidiaries will be controlled by different shareholders. In the future, Zhongxia will appear to be a big company, but the head office will have little control over the subsidiaries—— It’s more like an alliance of companies.”

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

The document [shows that the shareholding structure of Zhongxia Company is very special. The shareholders are not investors of the head office, and a large part of them are shareholders of different businesses. For example, the animation business of Zhongxia Company is composed of several shareholders’ investment , and they invested in Zhongxia with animation.

The contribution brought by such a shareholding structure is undoubtedly huge!

"Why is this so?" Meng Huo asked: "When Zhongxia was first established, shouldn't the shareholding structure be like this?" He still remembers that when Zhongxia was first established, it was mainly based on comics. The status of the shareholders at that time should be the same. Will not be responsible for different interests business.

"Actually, that's how it started."

Dong Ding shook his head, and then explained. Contrary to what the world imagines, when Zhongxia Company was established, the shareholders represented different interests in the shares. A large reason for this comes from Zhongxia's offline channels—that is, as the overlord of novels and publishing, the Zhongxia chain bookstore has penetrated into the countryside. When this bookstore serves Zhongxia, it retains its own interests, so As a result, other shareholders have also adopted a more beneficial approach.

Shareholders use their own resources to form Zhongxia, but each person's shares are placed in different businesses. The formation of animation, peripherals, and animation films in the past two years.

In fact, it is also the property of some shareholders.

"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 Zhong Xia? It should be one of your animation studios now."

"Yes, it appears that our company has accepted it." Dong Ding nodded, and then sighed: "But in fact, this is not accurate. Zhongxia accepted it in the name of the company, and it was announced internally and externally, but In our shareholders' meeting - it's considered a shareholder's property."

Meng Huo rubbed his brows in confusion: "How could this be..."

Zhongxia's shareholders' interests are actually different, so once the shareholders jointly split the business and set up a subsidiary company. They will become like princes, and they will still be Zhongxia Company in name. But in essence, they have very large autonomy and serve their own interests.

"Is this in line with shareholder law?" Meng Huo asked.

"Strictly speaking, this is an edge ball, and this kind of problem will not occur in ordinary companies." Dong Ding looked at Meng Huo: "The shareholder structure of Zhongxia Company was established at the beginning, and the interests were not negotiated. This is because of you The reason for appearing..."

Outsiders don't know that Zhongxia's idea actually had to wait another year or two to be established. And when Zhongxia turned out so early, he was stimulated by He Xi. Dong Ding, who was in charge of the plan, and several other people discovered the hidden threat of Phoenix Company, and felt that it could not be delayed for too long, so they did not deal with all the problems beforehand. In the case of a dispute over the interests of both parties, the Zhongxia Company was established.

Originally they judged that the company should be established first, and then deal with interest disputes—but they didn’t expect that after the official operation of Zhongxia, because of the different benefits of each business, interest disputes would be even more difficult to handle, and shareholders with good businesses were unwilling to deal with other shareholders. Share the proceeds.

This situation has existed since the beginning, but if the overall development of Zhongxia Company is good and there are signs of monopolizing the entire industry, for the sake of the entire company and the greater interests, the disputes among shareholders are likely to be resolved.

The reason why it can't be solved for a long time is because Zhongxia's development is not as smooth as expected. Especially in recent years, the changes in the comics industry have made shareholders gradually unable to see Zhongxia's hope of surpassing Phoenix, and the goal of 'monopolizing the industry' is almost impossible to achieve. In this situation, the proud shareholders After choosing to leave, the remaining shareholders gradually shifted their attention to more realistic business—that is, personal interests.

Some shareholders tried every means to separate the most valuable business of Phoenix Company. The interest gap between the various departments of Zhongxia Company was too large, and the conflicts among shareholders became more and more acute, and now they could no longer be suppressed.

Compared with comics, the animation business and film business have the highest interests. The shareholders here want to separate animation and film independently and give them more power. In fact, this is the independence of the subsidiary company, enjoying excellent business interests exclusively.

The troubles faced by Zhongxia Company in the distribution channel of comics are even greater. The bookstore chain is not controlled by Zhongxia Company. It is a separate group and a giant in Huaxia Publishing and novel distribution.

However, this giant group has recently fallen into a very intense internal discussion - the shareholders who favor Zhongxia Company have gradually reduced their voice in the bookstore group, and the huge bookstore channel is likely to be separated from Zhongxia Company in the future. Comics' line sold separately.

"Your company's own channels are developing too fast." Dong Ding said to Meng Huo, Fenghuang's comic sales have surpassed Zhongxia's, and it also has an independent sales channel: "Zhongxia's advantage is decreasing. Bookstores are under threat."

A chain bookstore responsible for selling Zhongxia Daily. In recent years, due to the development of Phoenix's own channels, it has felt threatened. Although they also sell "Weekly Shonen". But more than 80 percent of Phoenix's manga magazines are not sold by the bookstore chain.

China's publishing and sales markets are undergoing changes due to the emergence of comics, which has never happened in more than ten years. The channel behind Zhongxia Company has now lost its dominance in comic publishing, and it is still declining, which is a very dangerous sign.

Once the second or third-ranked chain bookstore surpasses them in comic publishing with the help of Phoenix Company, the leading position of Zhongxia Bookstore will be poached, and other channels will gain a firm foothold in comic publishing, and they will have the opportunity Challenge them in novels, and other publications.

Because of this, as the Zhongxia Bookstore in charge of the channel of Zhongxia Company. They can't afford to fail at comic publishing, the consequences of failure are too serious for anyone to think about.

The top management of Zhongxia Bookstore has had two years of fierce quarrels. The current CEO has been persuading the shareholders to break away from the status of "Zhongxia Company exclusive" 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 they do so, they can not only improve channel performance, but also stabilize their comic sales territory and attract readers to choose comics from them. .

"The opinions of that stubborn CEO have recently been approved by half of the shareholders for the first time." 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 will Can complete the transformation..."

This is an inevitable transformation, if it continues to drag on. Zhongxia Bookstore will lose its initiative in the comic publishing industry—but it is a real nightmare for Zhongxia Company.

"Once the offline channels are opened, our company's comic business will be hit hard, and your company's comic sales may increase by more than 50%!"

Dong Ding is well aware of the strength of Phoenix Company's comics. Once Zhongxia Bookstore opens to it, the sales of Phoenix Company's four comic magazines will skyrocket. Its status with Zhongxia will be completely reversed.

A few years ago, Zhong Xia relied on channels to suppress Phoenix, but in half a year at the latest, Phoenix will completely suppress Zhong Xia through channels. Add to that the quality of their tyrannical comics, and the years-long relay race between the two companies will come to an early conclusion.

"Phoenix Company will become the overlord of the comics industry. The sales of Zhongxia's comics may only be half of yours. Presumably your personal worth will at least triple..." Dong Ding looked at Meng Huo, and the channels of Zhongxia Bookstore were completely opened The moment for Phoenix and others is also a time when the comics world undergoes amazing changes, and the magnitude of the changes is far beyond the world's imagination.

At present, the sales of Zhongxia’s comics are not much lost to Phoenix’s, but the stalemate is still there. Once it is opened, this stalemate will collapse immediately, and Zhongxia’s comics share will drop to about half of Phoenix’s——Feng will become The undisputed overlord of Huaxia comics.

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

"Does this mean that people are not as good as heaven?"

A sentence flashed in Meng Huo's mind, and Dong Ding's words caused a lot of restlessness in his heart - he didn't expect that he would win so easily, and the time was much faster than expected.

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

"Why did you tell me this today?" Meng Huo asked Dong Ding, and Dong Ding's answer was so unexpected that Meng Huo was still thinking about it on the way back to Suhua—the idea of ​​giving up the acquisition of Zhongxia Company plan.

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

Even if the environment facing Zhongxia Company is deteriorating, its animation and film revenues are quite good now. Animation companies throughout China are booming, and many people are aiming at the huge profits of animation and animated films.

Dong Ding wants Meng Huo to acquire the comic business of Zhongxia Company, and he can cooperate in this regard.

"Before Zhongxia Bookstore opened up channels, many shareholders are panicking now 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 next few months." Dong Ding told As Meng Huo said, he was confident that he would take over 40% of the shares before Zhongxia Comic was hit hard, and the remaining less than 50% was mainly held by the Jiang family. The Jiang family did not seem to intend to Give up the comic business.

"If the Jiang family doesn't give up, how should I buy it?" Meng Huo was very surprised.

"I can discuss with the Jiang family." Dong Ding said: "If you can give me a definite answer, Mr. He Xi, I will help you persuade them to reduce their shareholding with me—similar to Phoenix Company, where I and The Jiang family has 40% in total, and 60% will be handed over to you."

He knew that Zhongxia Comic can only flourish in the hands of He Xi. If He Xi can acquire Zhongxia Comics—the Jiang family will not let go of such a good opportunity. After all, Jiang Tianshi and Angel alone can no longer save the comic business. .

Meng Huo didn't make a decision on the spot. He decided to think carefully about whether Zhongxia Company, which only had comics, was worth acquiring.

Once Zhongxia Bookstore releases channels, the sales volume of Zhongxia Manga will be eroded by other companies, especially Phoenix Company. Its large number of cartoonists must also be panic-stricken, and there will be a large number of job-hopping waves. If Phoenix Company can seize the opportunity, it can definitely Through the release of new magazines, these cartoonists are packaged and bought.

They have enough funds, and the Phoenix Company will be very powerful at that time. It is estimated that there are not many cartoonists who are unwilling to defect. Thinking about it this way, Meng Huo had absolutely no reason to buy Zhongxia Comics—he just wanted to grab it, and the price wouldn't be too high.

However, such a method is not considered a hero, and it is easy to cause criticism from the media. The influx of a large number of cartoonists will also bring troubles to the management of Phoenix Company. At the same time, because of copyright issues, these cartoonists have to start over at Phoenix Company, and their cartoons at Zhongxia Company will all be eunuchs.

How large-scale manga eunuchs will affect manga readers—this must also be seriously considered by Meng Huo. (To be continued...) WWW.GEILIWX.COM happy reading every day
