After the opening of the port, Xiangjiang was just a commercial entrepot for a long time, with few enterprises, let alone culture.
By the end of the 1940s, school textbooks were still using textbooks from Malaysia and the United Kingdom. At that time, there was only one publishing house in Hong Kong, and its printed products were limited to almanacs, rulers, old enlightenment books, medical horoscopes, and punctuation popular novels.
several types of publications.
Later, affected by the war, a large number of business and cultural elites moved south, and Xiangjiang's cultural industry gradually prospered.
Just publishing institutions, dozens of them have been opened in Hong Kong in the past five years, including Zhonghua Bookstore, Commercial Press, Paixin Bookstore, Dagong Bookstore, Nam Kwong Bookstore, Wenyuan Bookstore, Wenguang Bookstore...
However, at that time, the level of education of the people in Hong Kong was very low. There were less than 100,000 people with primary school education. There were very few people who were interested or had the money to buy books.
Therefore, the books published at that time were mainly sold in Southeast Asia, the United States, Canada and other places.
In the following more than ten years, Xiangjiang's publishing industry and book market developed vigorously.
By the mid-1960s, export books began to suffer a big blow as Southeast Asian countries began to adopt policies that focused on local languages. The focus of sales of Chinese books shifted from Southeast Asia back to Hong Kong.
But despite this, Southeast Asia is still an export direction for Xiangjiang's publishing industry.
Litong Books' business is to distribute books as an agent. Over the years, it has been deeply involved in Southeast Asia and other countries and has a wide range of distribution channels.
It is always a good thing that Lin Chaoyang's works can be distributed locally.
A few days later, seeing that the Chinese New Year was just over a week away, Lin Chaoyang went out to purchase some things, planning to take them back to the mainland as gifts for his family.
Tao Yumo also made an appointment with Maggie Cheung to go shopping together. When she came back in the evening, it was like a pile of boneless meat spread out on the sofa. Her spoils today were more than a dozen game cassettes and videotapes.
Tao Yushu asked her, "Didn't you say that the company's new game development has reached a critical moment? Why do you still have the time to go shopping?"
Tao Yumo said confidently: "Game development is their business. I am the boss, not a wage earner."
She retorted, but she felt it was not enough and scolded Tao Yushu, "Sister, do you know why you are so tired?"
Seeing that Tao Yushu didn't answer, she said reluctantly:
"It's just because you have to do everything by yourself and want to do everything. This is wrong!
You have to give your subordinates room to develop. Only in this way can their talents and values ​​be brought into play. She talked endlessly about her "boss experience" and seemed to have a lot of experience. She felt that she was at least an entrepreneur with a net worth of several billions.
.
While she was talking, Tao Yushu remained silent. Slowly, Tao Yumo also noticed something was wrong, and his voice became smaller and smaller.
Until I shut up.
Then she felt that she was a bit cowardly, so she added unwillingly: "Our company is developing very well now!"
Until then, Tao Yushu snorted coldly, but didn't say anything to her. Tao Yumo muttered again.
Before going to bed at night, Tao Yushu asked Lin Chaoyang: "Do you think what Yumo said makes sense?"
Lin Chaoyang screamed in his heart, it was time to test him!
"That's nonsense!" he said righteously.
"Be more serious!" Tao Yushu said.
Lin Chaoyang made a careful thinking gesture, and then said: "Now the company is in a stage of rapid development, so it is inevitable that you should work harder.
Yumo's small company only has a few people, so it's too easy to manage. She can just stand and talk without pain in her back."
Hearing this, Tao Yushu's brows widened.
"What you said is so right, that girl can just stand and talk without pain in her back!" She said bitterly.
"Yes, she is just too idle." Lin Chaoyang agreed without any bottom line.
After what he said, it seemed that he touched Tao Yushu's nerves and made her fall into deep thought.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Tao Yushu sat on the sofa and did not move.
Usually by this time, she has already gone out.
After waiting for a while, she became impatient and asked Tao Yumo, who was still dawdling, "Why are you dawdling? Why don't you go to work?"
Tao Yumo was brushing his teeth slowly, "If you want to go to work, just go there. I won't go with you."
Tao Yushu said: "I will go to your company today to have a look."
"Why?" Tao Yumo instinctively became defensive. The two had just finished arguing last night. She felt that her sister might be looking for an opportunity to retaliate.
"I'm also a shareholder? Why don't you go and take a look?"
Faced with Tao Yushu's rhetorical question, Tao Yumo said calmly: "Of course you can, I'm not afraid that you will be busy. You usually deal with the affairs of listed companies, and our small workshop——"
Tao Yushu said impatiently: "Stop dawdling, hurry up!"
Despite her repeated urging, it was already past 9 o'clock when the sisters went out.
"Go to the Prince's Building!" Tao Yushu said to the driver Xu Weiguo after getting in the car.
When they arrived at the Prince's Building, Tao Yushu took the lead with full aura, and Tao Yumo followed behind, like a girl carrying a bag.
Now Sugar Game is no longer the two or three big cats it was when it first opened. Counting the boss Tao Yumo, the number of people has exceeded 10, which can be said to be a strong force.
Entering the office, a group of technical geeks looked loose, disheveled, and pale-faced, working hard in front of the computer, with a tragic feeling of burning life.
"Good morning everyone!" Tao Yumo shouted,
By the way, I would like to remind my subordinates: The boss is here, please stay alert.
When Tao Yumo arrived, the employees smiled and greeted her. They looked very relaxed and did not notice the boss's restraint at all.
Then everyone saw Tao Yushu next to her, and their expressions suddenly became more nervous.
"Hello, Mr. Tao!"
"Hello everyone!" Tao Yushu responded.
Tao Yumo asked: "Have you all had breakfast?"
"have eaten."
"have eaten."
Everyone responded sparsely, and Tao Yumo said to He Jiali, the only woman in the company besides herself:
"Ali, Director Tao is here to inspect the company today. Let's have extra lunch at noon!"
After saying this, the morale in the office was obviously boosted, and Tao Yumo nodded with satisfaction.
Then Tao Yumo entered his small office, and Tao Yushu followed him.
"How about——you sit down?" Tao Yumo consciously gave up his boss chair.
"Sit down."
Tao Yumo sat down, twisted his butt twice uneasily, and looked at his sister. Tao Yushu also looked at her.
The two sisters stared at each other. After a while, Tao Yushu asked:
: "Why are you always looking at me? I'm working!"
"What are you doing——."
Tao Yumo reacted mid-sentence, pretending to flip the table and then flipped through the drawers.
I couldn't find a document for a long time, and my face looked slightly embarrassed, but I still pretended to be calm.
"I've been working very hard these past two days, and I've finished all the work."
She was telling lies with her eyes open, but she didn't blush at all, but felt a little guilty, and her eyes darted left and right.
Tao Yushu was too lazy to expose her and asked: "When will the development of "Swordsman" be completed?"
"Just these few days."
Tao Yushu Mei asked, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, can we finish everything?"
"Yes, you can work overtime!"
Tao Yushu looked at her puzzled, you said you should work overtime?
Tao Yumo explained: "Who among us who make games doesn't work overtime? They want double wages for overtime work!"
Only then did Tao Yushu understand why the group of people just now were like the walking dead who had been sucked out of their essence. She couldn't help but said: "The body is the capital of the revolution. What does it matter if the game is released a few days later?"
Seeing that his sister had misunderstood him, Tao Yumo immediately defended himself and said, "It has nothing to do with me. They took the initiative to work overtime. I saw that they were working really hard, so I gave them double wages."
Listening to her words, Tao Yushu looked suspicious. Someone else asked to work overtime?
At this moment, He Jiali knocked on the door, handed Tao Yumo a purchase order, and said, "Mr. Tao, I counted the fruits that everyone wants to eat this afternoon. Take a look at what you want to eat."
Tao Yumo coughed slightly and winked at He Jiali: Eat whatever you want! Didn't you see that the boss is here?
"Mr. Tao, Nian Bo has bought some durians from Malaysia. You can try them. The pearls are also good. Don't you like to eat them?" He Jiali said to herself, and asked Tao Yumo: "What does Mr. Tao want to eat?"
?」
When Jing saw his sister's narrowed eyes, Tao Yumo said angrily: "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat!"
He Jiali was talking enthusiastically when she was suddenly scolded and looked confused.
If you don't want to eat, why are you scolding me?
"Buy me two bunches of grapes." Tao Yushu said,
Hearing this, He Jiali put aside Tao Yumo's scolding, carefully wrote down Tao Yushu's preferences, and looked at Tao Yumo again.
"Mr. Tao, do you really not want to eat?"
When did I say I don’t eat spicy food?
Tao Yumo glared at her and said, "Buy me a box of strawberries."
He Jiali wondered: "Nian Bo didn't-"
Sensing Tao Yumo's fierce gaze, she changed her words and said, "I'll go to another store to buy it."
After He Jiali left, the atmosphere in the office was quiet. Tao Yumo racked his brains and said: "This afternoon tea is for employees to work overtime better in the evening."
Tao Yushu looked noncommittal and said to her: "You are busy with your business. You can be busy as you normally are. You can be busy now and don't worry about me."
You said it's easy, how can I be busy while you are here?
Tao Yumo glanced at the game console on the cabinet with a resentful look. It seems that he is not lucky enough to favor you little guys today.
"I'm going to test the game, please sit down first." After holding it in for a while, Tao Yumo said.
After saying that, without waiting for Tao Yushu's reaction, she hurried outside and started angrily planning to settle the score with He Jiali.
"Where's Ali?"
"Mr. Tao, Ali has gone to buy fruit."
Not finding anyone, Tao Yumo had no choice but to stop and pretend to be busy sitting in front of the computer.
Leng Buding noticed Tao Yushu looking this way from the office. She immediately sat up straight and concentrated.
She is not afraid of Tao Yushu, but she just wants to show her wise and powerful side as a boss.
After more than twenty minutes, Tao Yumo was still pretending to be busy. At this time, Tao Yushu came out of the office and said to everyone:
"Let Mr. Tao take everyone to eat something good at noon, and I'll pay for it! I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Tao Yushu said as he took out a few banknotes and handed them to Tao Yumo.
"Thank you, Mr. Tao!"
Everyone in the office thanked him in unison.
When she reached the stairwell, she didn't know what was said in the office, and a burst of cheers broke out.
She listened to the movement, shook her head and smiled.
That night, Tao Yushu grabbed Lin Chaoyang, and this scene seemed familiar to him.
"Do you feel it?"
"What do you think?"
"Yu Mo is more suitable to be a capitalist than me?"
Lin Chaoyang was confused, "Why did my beloved wife say this?"
Tao Yushu recounted her experience of going to the Sugar Game today, and then said, "This girl is so good at buying people's hearts. She spends a small amount of money to get people to sacrifice their lives for her."
Lin Chaoyang pondered and said: "That's different. The people under her are all young people with simple minds and easy to bribe."
"She recruits everyone. Isn't this what makes her smart?"
Lin Chaoyang looked at Tao Yushu and asked, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"I plan to slowly hand over the management of Yulang Organization to her."
"What can she do? Didn't you say before that there's nothing she can do?"
"I didn't realize her 'talent' in this area before, but this time it's up to her."
Tao Yushu's tone was like a hunter catching a little fox.
"That's good, you can feel more relaxed this way." Lin Chaoyang said.
Early the next morning, Tao Yushu said to Tao Yumo: "Next year Yulang Organization will vigorously develop the game business, you should be responsible for this matter."
"Am I responsible? How can I be responsible?"
"Be the head of the game department first."
"What about my company?"
"Let Yulang Organization acquire it or—
Before Tao Yushu finished speaking, Tao Yumo looked like a little wild cat with exploded fur.
"Okay, I asked you, why are you going to my company so quietly? That's what Ganqing had in mind!
He is truly a black-hearted capitalist! He’s not done with taking my shares, now he even wants to take away the company!”
The more Tao Yumo spoke, the more aggrieved and angrier he became. He glared at his sister with grief and anger written on his face.
Tao Yushu, on the other hand, looked calm and calm. After she finished speaking, she continued: "It can be acquired or transferred. You have only invested 800,000 in the game company. It will not be a problem to double your investment by then. 800,000
Easily become 8 million!"
Tao Yumo's grief and indignation subdued slightly, and he snorted: "It's easy to put it simply, do you know how much effort I have put into this company?"
"I know it's hard for you. But just think, it's easier to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree."
"With your back against a big tree, you can enjoy the shade? I think you have an extra mother-in-law on your head."
Tao Yushu pretended to be deep in thought. After a while, she said: "Then I will transfer 10% of Sugar's shares to the company and treat it as a strategic investment."
Hearing this, Tao Yumo felt a little relieved, and then she thought of the 8 million Tao Yushu had just said.
He said coyly: "Tell me, how much is our company worth now?"
"How do I know this? The profit created by "Monopoly" for the company this year should be only 3 million. According to the price-earnings ratio method, it is reasonable to give 15 million, but after all, you have released this game.
If the sales of "Swordsman" can reach the level of "Monopoly", it is not impossible to give a net profit valuation of 8 to 10 times."
While Tao Yushu was talking, Tao Yumo's calculations were constantly going through his mind.
A valuation of 15 million, which is equivalent to the company’s valuation increasing 10 times faster than when it was founded?
800,000 becomes 8 million!
What if "Swordsman" can reach the level of "Monopoly"? Then next year the company's net profit will exceed 5 million, right?
10 times is 50 million? Her 60% equity is worth 30 million?
At this point, Tao Yumo's breathing became a little rapid.
It seems that this acquisition is not out of the question!
Tao Yumo thought for a while and asked: "Sister, we are the only shareholders of this game company. There are other shareholders of Yulang Organization. Let it invest.
It’s equivalent to spending Yulang Institution’s money to distribute the shares of our game company to other shareholders. Don’t you feel that you are suffering a loss?”
Tao Yushu smiled nonchalantly, "That's the theory."
Tao Yumo was still waiting for her to continue explaining, but he didn't expect that Tao Yushu stopped halfway through her words.
Tao Yumo's eyes rolled around, as if he understood something.
Yulang Institution spent money to invest in Sugar Game, and the money went into Sugar Game's account. The control rights rested with her and Tao Yushu. To put it bluntly, it was no different from the two sisters' own money.
It seems that the Yulang Institution has obtained the shares, but the control of the Yulang Institution is in the hands of the sister. Those small shareholders seem to have benefited, but in fact the shares have nothing to do with them, and they cannot take advantage of Mao.
.
After understanding this truth, Tao Yumo was very excited, but still asked: "If we do this, the Securities Regulatory Office will review it, right?"
"What are you afraid of? I said it was an equity transfer, not an increase in capital.
I won’t shout out a price of 20 times earnings ratio, and they won’t be able to say anything!”
Tao Yumo was already familiar with the various operating rules of the capital market, and Tao Yumo couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
"You are wise!"
Then she said with a face: "I think it's better to transfer my shares.
Tao Yushu asked with concern: "Wouldn't your shares be less? It would affect your boss Tao's control over the company, so don't force it!"
Tao Yumo waved his hands repeatedly, "Look what you said, there is no boss, you are the boss. What do you think of me transferring 30% of the shares to Yulang Organization?"
5000*30%=15 million Hong Kong dollars.
With a wave of wealth and freedom, Tao Yumo has already begun to imagine her life after lying down.
"Too many! We just invest a little bit as a strategic investment, and the company doesn't have much money in its account," Tao Yushu said.
Tao Yumo blinked and asked, "What do you think is appropriate?"
"Just 10%."
10%? That’s only 5 million. What’s it for?
He had heard of the number 50 million, but when he saw 5 million, Tao Yumo only felt that it was ordinary and had no emotions in his heart.
"Okay, 10% is 10%, when will it be done?"
"Don't worry. "Swordsman" hasn't been released yet. If sales are too poor, I won't be able to give you such a high valuation."
Tao Yumo curled his lips and said with disdain, "You capitalists really don't want to suffer any losses."
Tao Yushu ignored her suggestion and put forward the request just now, "After the Chinese New Year, you can come to work at Yulang Institution."
Tao Yumo opened her mouth. She has a soft mouth when eating others, but short hands when taking others. She, Tao Yumo, is a particular person.
"Aren't you afraid that I will go to the Yulang Agency and mess things up for you?"
"With me as your backing, what do you have to be afraid of?"
Tao Yumo muttered: "Who is afraid? I am afraid that you are afraid."
She asked again: "How is the salary calculated?"
"HR will tell you when the time comes that there will be salary, bonuses, and options."
After the two sisters finished talking, Tao Yushu cast a proud look at Lin Chaoyang: Look, it was easy.
Two days later, Lin Chaoyang's family took a flight back to Beijing to celebrate the New Year.
After landing in Yanjing, Du Feng specially drove to pick him up, accompanied by a young girl.
"Sister, brother-in-law, let me introduce to you. This is my girlfriend Roland, a dancer from Kong Zheng.'
Roland is a dancer. In Yanjing dialect, he has a bright appearance and a pair of charming almond eyes. The most important thing is that he is young. He looks like he is in his early twenties.
"Sister, hello brother-in-law!" Roland greeted Lin Chaoyang and his wife warmly, and they both smiled in return.
After saying hello, Du Feng helped Lin Chaoyang carry his luggage, and the group came outside the terminal.
When Du Feng came to pick someone up this time, he was driving a Pajero with a white body. SUVs are rare these days. To be precise, they don’t have such a name yet. Chinese people call this thing a Jeep.
"Have you changed the car? Crown won't open?" Tao Yushu asked.
"Blind! Sister, that happened a hundred years ago. Get in the car first, get in the car first." Du Feng said, and shouted to Tao Yumo: "Yu Mo, you take the child and sit in the BMW in the back."
Tao Yumo couldn't see his complacent attitude and whispered: "I have two coins to burn!"
That's right, Du Feng came to pick him up. In addition to a Mitsubishi Pajero, he also drove a black BMW five series.
As soon as the two cars stopped outside the terminal, the temperament of the big boss became more and more prominent.
On the way back to the city, Du Feng chatted with Lin Chaoyang and his wife while driving. He first told Tao Yu about the current situation of the Asia-Europe Garment City.
After three years of development, Asia-Europe Garment City has opened clothing stores in six cities across the country. This year's turnover reached 74 million yuan and net profit exceeded 28 million yuan.
The gross profit margin of clothing is extremely high these days, and the net profit is naturally high as well.
Lin Chaoyang noticed that when Du Feng was talking incessantly, Roland looked at him with a bit of admiration, but he didn't know how much of it was for career and how much of it was for love.
The clothing city makes money, but Du Feng also has troubles.
The clothing city model is a typical model of heavy investment and heavy assets. The opening of each clothing city is like starting a new business for Du Feng, and subsequent investment and management are even more difficult.
After Du Feng finished talking about his troubles, he asked Lin Chaoyang: "Brother-in-law, what do you think should be done about this situation now?"
Lin Chaoyang said with a smile: "You can just think about this kind of thing yourself, I don't have any ideas."
Du Feng turned the steering wheel, crossed the intersection, and said:
"Now that the economy continues to develop, the development of the clothing industry, both in foreign trade and domestic demand, will be very strong. I think starting my own clothing brand is a good direction.
Like foreign countries, franchise operations can expand quickly without investing so much money and energy."
Du Feng obviously had a plan, Tao Yushu said: "You can just make your own decision."
Seeing that neither Lin Chaoyang nor his wife wanted to discuss the development of the clothing city, Du Feng knew that they really didn't want to talk about it, so he changed the topic.
"Sister, how is the company over there in Xiangjiang? I heard Yu Mo say that you have acquired another company and want to go public?"
"It's early, it will take a few months. It will be a lot of trouble to go public, it won't be that fast."
Du Feng's face was full of envy, "That's a listed company! You can wait a few years, not just a few months! Once the company goes public, you and your brother-in-law will be worth billions more."
Hearing "billions" from Du Feng's mouth, Roland's eyes widened, filled with a sense of unreality.
"It would be nice if it could be as easy as you said. The market value is all fictitious and we won't cash out.
Talking about the Asian Games, Du Feng showed off: "I even donated 100,000 yuan to the Asian Games!"
Tao Yushu asked curiously: "Do you still need to donate money?"
"It's not compulsory. The country is short of money. Can we Yanjing men do errands? We have to donate!" Du Feng said proudly.
Tao Yushu has been out of the country for the past two years and only came back for a few days during the Chinese New Year. This was the first time he heard about this and he couldn't help but ask a few more questions.
The Yanjing Asian Games is the first time that China has hosted such a large-scale international sports event. There are too many buildings and facilities that need to be constructed.
16 new sports venues will be built, 17 sports venues will be renovated, 46 sports venues will be repaired, and a new 500,000-square-meter Asian Games village and 100 new sports venues will be built.
Thousands of square meters of residential area.
According to the accounting of Yanjing City, hosting an Asian Games requires an investment of up to 2.5 billion yuan in construction costs alone. Even with national support, Yanjing City still has a funding gap of 600 million yuan.
600 million yuan, in future generations, would be like a drop in the bucket to a big country or a majestic imperial capital.
But for Yanjing now, he is a hero for a penny.
Zhang Baifa, then deputy mayor of Yanjing City and in charge of the Asian Games, came up with a solution.
The government has no money, but we still have 1.1 billion people.
At the call of the Yanjing Municipal Government, people from all over the country enthusiastically donated money. Du Feng said that so far, people have donated more than 200 million yuan.
After chatting all the way, the car drove into Daliubukou Street and stopped at the entrance of the alley.
The group got out of the car and before entering the courtyard, Lin Erchun and his wife were already waiting at the entrance of the courtyard.
Seeing the two little ones, Zhang Guiqin hugged and kissed them, calling them "darling" and "baby" non-stop.
"If you want to have children, just go to Xiangjiang and see it." Lin Chaoyang said.
Zhang Guiqin stood up and said angrily: "You ask this red-eyed guy who makes money!"
Lin Erchun on the side acted as if he had not heard these words, hugging his grandson, and his granddaughter was equally curious.
After arriving home, Du Feng sat for a while before leaving.
Lin Chaoyang left him to eat, but he said, "No, I have to eat with a friend later. You guys eat first and get together later."
After saying that, he took Roland away.
Tao Yushu asked Tao Yumo, "What happened to his girlfriend?"
Tao Yumo would correspond with Du Feng from time to time in Xiangjiang, and he had a fairly good understanding of their respective situations.
Chapter completed!
