Hong Kong Comic Master
Chapter 143: Be able to bend and stretch
The lobby of the Peninsula Hotel has white marble, high ceilings and gorgeous chandeliers. The background music is soft and pleasant. Employees in neat uniforms shuttle between the crowds and provide polite and thoughtful service.
"Cheers!"
Two high-heeled glasses filled with champagne gently touched each other, making a crisp sound.
"Mr. Li is really young and promising! At the age of less than 30, not only has the company been well managed, but the company is also developing better and better under your leadership!"
"Mr. He is too polite! This is not my credit alone!"
In the crowd, Li Wanshui was dressed in a suit and tie, with an upright posture. He looked particularly handsome among a group of middle-aged uncles, standing out from the crowd.
Today is a cocktail party held by Sing Tao Group. As a partner of DreamWorks, Li Wanshui naturally has to come on behalf of DreamWorks.
As soon as Li Wanshui arrived, he immediately attracted everyone's attention and became the focus of the crowd.
There is no way, DreamWorks is too dazzling now.
The comics industry is a standout, Phoenix TV is firmly in second place, and the two-dimensional animation city is booming. This industry that the upper class of Hong Kong Island has never paid attention to has been made prosperous by DreamWorks.
"Mr. Li is too modest. In just three years, he has built a huge company. This strength can really be called a young and promising man!"
The person who talked to Li Wanshui was named He Hongyi, the grandson of He Dong, the former richest man in Hong Kong Island. Because he is a master of science in journalism from Columbia University, he is currently helping his father manage the "Industrial and Commercial Daily".
"Mr. He, what do you and your father think about the things we talked about before?"
It has to be said that Li Wanshui really ruins the atmosphere. The atmosphere that was originally very pleasant to talk about suddenly became cold because of Li Wanshui's words.
What Li Wanshui said before was actually very simple, that is, acquisition!
After all, it is still the 1970s. Most people in Hong Kong Island are still accustomed to reading newspapers to get information. Therefore, it is not enough to just master the TV station!
DreamWorks still needs a few newspapers to cheer for itself, not to mention that after half a year, DreamWorks' cash flow has passed the most dangerous moment.
The sales of comics and their peripherals are really impressive. These two cash cows can contribute tens of millions of revenue to DreamWorks every month, which is really terrifying!
Therefore, acquiring one or two newspapers is just a drop in the bucket for DreamWorks.
Li Wanshui not only asked the "Industrial and Commercial Daily" for the price, but also asked "Sing Tao Daily", "Overseas Chinese Daily" and five or six other influential newspapers in Hong Kong Island. As for those with too little sales, Li Wanshui simply didn't look down on them.
"Mr. Li, this matter is of great importance after all, and we still need to discuss it!"
He Hongyi did not directly reject Li Wanshui, but chose to perfunctorily.
Our newspaper is doing well, and you want to acquire it as soon as you open your mouth. Does our family look like we are very short of money?
Hearing this, Li Wanshui didn't say anything more, but just picked up the cup and clinked it with He Hongyi again.
After bidding farewell to He Hongyi, Li Wanshui walked towards the window.
It's not easy to say that he is not tired of fighting with these people, but who else in the family can come to this environment besides him?
The second brother who only knows how to pick up girls? Or the third brother who concentrates on painting and dating? Or the old bean who has been semi-retired and recently fell in love with fishing?
Don't be funny!
Coming to the window, looking at the people under the window, Li Wanshui drank the champagne in the glass.
"Mr. Li, why are you drinking alone here?"
At this moment, a rough voice sounded behind Li Wanshui.
Li Wanshui turned around and saw a unique face.
"Mr. Huang?"
Looking at this face that refreshed his mind at a glance, Li Wanshui recognized the other party's identity almost instantly.
Huang Yulang, the defeated general of his third brother.
"I didn't expect Mr. Li to know me?"
Huang Yulang came to Li Wanshui with a smile and clinked glasses with him.
"Of course I have heard of him for a long time. If I don't even know our DreamWorks' opponent, then I am not worthy of continuing to lead DreamWorks!"
"Hahaha, it's a bit exaggerated to say that we are opponents!" Huang Yulang smiled and shrugged, "We didn't have any direct conflicts, did we?"
Hearing this, Li Wanshui thought he had heard it wrong.
What does Huang Yulang mean?
No direct conflicts? He actually said this when it came to a life-and-death competition?
"I'm afraid that Mr. Huang has something to do with my brother's identity being exposed?"
"Misunderstanding, all misunderstandings! If I need to apologize, I can go to Master Wansui to apologize!"
Seeing Huang Yulang's humble attitude, Li Wanshui was really confused.
What is going on?
In fact, the situation is not as complicated as Li Wanshui thought, that is, Huang Yulang admitted defeat!
Just yesterday, the latest issue of "Second Dimension Youth Weekly" officially exceeded 100,000 sales.
Huang Yulang got the news as soon as possible, and he couldn't help but sigh after getting the news.
Huang Yulang found that he really couldn't win!
During these three months, Huang Yulang knew that the situation of the two-dimensional magazine was the weakest, and he racked his brains for it, whether it was to let the high-energy plot of "Dragon Tiger Gate" be staged in advance or to increase publicity efforts.
But no matter how hard I try, the sales of "Yuhuangchao" magazine barely exceed 70,000. In comparison, "2D Youth Weekly" has directly exceeded 100,000 after a little effort.
Not to mention that 2D Magazine has two other comic magazines. The average sales of "Youth Weekly" is about 90,000, far ahead, and "Girls Weekly" is a little behind, but there are more than 60,000.
Now "2D Youth Weekly" has no chance at all, so what's the point of fighting?
"Mr. Huang wants to shake hands and make peace?"
"I have always admired Mr. Wansui. Now he has made a great name for himself in Neon. He is the most suitable person to be the head of Hong Kong comics!"
"I will bring Mr. Huang's words to my brother intact!"
Hearing Li Wanshui's words, Huang Yulang, who had been smiling, stiffened for a moment, although only for a moment.
The meaning of Li Wanshui's words couldn't be clearer.
My brother has the final say on your life and death!
"That's great! I'm waiting for good news from Mr. Li!"
After saying that, Huang Yulang turned and left. It was really terrible to have his fate in the hands of others!
Looking at Huang Yulang's back, Li Wannian also retracted his smile.
This kind of flexible person is indeed a character. If it were Li Wanshui, he would definitely choose to cut the grass and root it out, and never give the other party a chance.
But he had already promised Li Wannian, so he had to let Li Wannian make the decision!
