My 1999

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 slightly 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.

Regardless of literature or comics, they 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 open and come 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. 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 had 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 that will easily exceed tens of billions of Chinese dollars in future generations.

Throughout the first quarter of 2002, revenue was 12.8 million yuan and net profit was 2.47 million Chinese yuan.

Not much, but it’s definitely going 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 on it.

Bringing 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, killing two birds with one stone.

However, in addition to the annual writers' conference, we can also offer writer training courses to provide certain writing guidance to those who have a certain future and love literary writing. "

"Mr. Xu, you have a good idea. Although online writing requires talent, there are also some stylized writing routines, and centralized training can also cultivate more good writers."

Xu Liang nodded, "Remember, don't invite authors of serious literature for training. They are two different things from online literature."

"I see."

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 when it comes to comics, without long-term training, no one will even read the drawings.

Comics need to be cultivated more than novels.

When working, time always passes quickly, and it’s night in the blink of an eye.

Just after dinner, when he was about to draw, Jiang Xiaoyang called.

"Have you got a meal yet?"

"I just came back from eating." Jiang Xiaoyang's tone was filled with joy.

"It seems that the acquisition of Nanfu went smoothly." Xu Liang said with a smile.

"It went pretty well."

"How much?"

"USD 50 million was used to acquire 72% of Nanfu's shares held by Morgan Stanley, Dutch National Investment Bank and the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation. In addition, we also reached an agreement with the Nanping government to acquire the remaining 28% of the shares for 180 million Chinese dollars.

As long as there are no problems with the final due diligence, 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 see him?"

After agreeing, Xu Liang continued: "After we acquire 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 you have determined the time, and I will let the Golden Eagle pick him up. It also shows that we, Corporal Xian, are polite." Xu Liang said.

"You're willing to do it."

"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 in 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'm going to hold a formal merger ceremony for them, which can also be regarded as laying the foundation for listing."

"Has the specific merger plan been decided?"

"Yes. Dr. Guangming M\u0026A, Wang Haipeng serves as the company's CEO."

"So Wang Haipeng won in terms of rectifying the company and exterminating relatives for justice?" Xu Liang said with a smile.

"Several lovers arranged by Chen Huatao 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."

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, and couldn't help but recall the whole merger case in his mind.

In order to facilitate the merger of two optical shops, she spent hundreds of thousands 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 brokerage is CITIC."

"Well... Once this is done, it will be relatively easy to merge similar companies such as Yongkang Dental and Jiamei Dental, Dental Doctor and Chaoju Ophthalmology, My Lai Medical Cosmetic Group and Estech Medical Cosmetic Hospital."

"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."

"Um."

"The next target is Su Guo, 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."

"Do it as soon as possible, don't let others get the first step."

"Did you get any news?" Jiang Xiaoyang asked.

"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 Soon the Capital Business Association.

If we move slowly, Suguo Supermarket may have new competitors. "

Xu Liang remembered that China Resources acquired Suguo, but he didn't know when exactly it was, so he could only cover it up with development trends.

"I noticed it too. Don't worry, I will speed up."

"Um."

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, people are here."

"Let him in."

After Lu Hui nodded, not long after she left, a young man in his thirties or seventeen years old, wearing a gray suit and black-rimmed glasses, walked 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."

"Thanks."

"After a while, the company will hold its 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 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.

Zhao Tai from the crisis public relations department, Ye Lei from the hardware management department, Zhao Hongwei from the network security department, and Yu Hongming from the administration department.

A number of subsidiary executives including Yu Jun from Bing, Qian Santai from Yihaodian, Wu Xifan from Hongmeng Games, Wang Zhidong from Sina, and Xiang Lili from Hongmeng Music.

Anyone 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, let me 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 hired.

Mr. Yang is a native of Tangshan, Hebei Province. He graduated from the Mathematics Department of Huaqing University in 1989. In the same year, he entered the California Institute of Technology as a government-sponsored international student. In 1992, he received a PhD in mathematics and a master's degree in computer science from the California Institute of Technology.

From 1993 to 1996, he served as a professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

In 1997, he joined Stanford University as a tenured professor in the Department of Computer Science and served as the director of the Stanford Database Laboratory.

In 1998, he served as vice president of IBM during his academic sabbatical and served as chief scientist in the field of IBM database research and development. In 1999, he was elected as an academician of the National Academy of Engineering and an academician of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in the same year. "

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 recruited by Hongmeng over the years.

"Mr. Yang is a 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, as well as big data business development. "

After saying this, Xu Liang turned his head.
