? "Yes, the boss, Sing Tao News Corporation's crisis is very serious, and it has reached the point of life and death."
Yan Wenhan smiled and said solemnly.
Seeing the boss Xia Yu's expression become serious, Yan Wenhan continued to tell what he knew.
"The most fundamental problem facing Sing Tao News Group is lack of money. The resulting series of situations can also be summarized in three aspects."
"The first is the debt collection by the bank. Now the bank account has been frozen. I heard that Sing Tao News Group has taken loans from multiple banks. The largest one is from Hong Kong Commercial Bank, with a loan of 10 million Hong Kong dollars. Now many banks Come to ask for money."
"The second is that there are many advertisers claiming that because of sales fraud, fraud has been involved. Many advertisers have sent people to guard the downstairs of Sing Tao News Group, asking them to return the advertising money privately, and even more demanding Star Island News Corporation doubled the compensation, otherwise it will be brought to court on charges of commercial fraud."
"The last point is also the most serious. Sing Tao News Group is still in a state of suspending business for rectification. All its employees are closed. Now their accounts are frozen and their salaries are no longer available. The employees are already restless. According to the current situation, I want to The reopening will not solve the problems of advertisers and banks. Even if the Hong Kong government let it go, it is estimated that it will be nowhere in sight."
"So now it has become a deadlock. The only way to survive is to immediately spend money to solve the problems of advertisers and banks, so that we can find a way to resume publication."
"But in the current situation of Sing Tao News Group, no one would dare to lend to Hu Xian, that's why she thought of selling the company to get away. Otherwise, not only would the company go bankrupt if it dragged on, but Hu Xian would even face jail. "
After listening to Yan Wenhan's words, Xia Yu's eyes were as deep as the starry sky, and his eyebrows contemplated.
According to Yan Wenhan's words, Sing Tao News Group's life is really difficult. To put it bluntly, it's a matter of life and death.
If you don't spend money to solve the problem, you will never see the hope of re-publishing, and there is no way to pay employees' salaries. If you still do not see the hope, the employees will definitely leave.
But as soon as an employee resigns and the team disperses, the game will be completely finished, and it will be useless to spend money.
Therefore, as Yan Wenhan said, Hu Xian's only way is to pay the money back to the bank immediately, then solve the advertiser's problem, and finally find a way to resume publication of his newspapers and continue to make money.
But here comes the problem again!
Even if its newspapers resume publication, with Sing Tao News Group’s black history of falsifying sales, which advertiser would dare to advertise?
And also consider the possibility of a sharp drop in sales at that time!
There is no advertising revenue, sales are declining, and the company has to spend on operations. What kind of money can you make just by selling newspapers? Hu Xian's ability to be ordinary!
Therefore, even if it resumes publication at that time, the value of Sing Tao News Group will be greatly reduced. It is not bad to survive. If you want to stand up, you don't know how long it will be!
"Bankruptcy and jail with two knives hanging above his head, Hu Xian thought of selling the company, it is really possible!"
Xia Yu thought to himself.
Find a strong buyer, and at the same time transfer all the risks and debts to the new boss, and get a sum of money by the way. This is very different from bankruptcy and prison!
Of course, the premise is that Hu Xian can find someone who has the strength and is willing to take this risk to take over the company!
And Xia Yu can say unceremoniously that he has this ability and strength!
If Sing Tao News Group can be acquired, then...
Thinking of this, a gleam of light flashed in Xia Yu's eyes.
"Did Sing Tao News Corporation release this news on its own initiative, or did you send someone to secretly inquire about it?"
Xia Yu asked seriously, he had to figure this out before he could make correct thinking and judgments.
Yan Wenhan was taken aback, frowned slightly for a moment and said, "It's the news from Sing Tao News Corporation, but in my opinion, it should have been leaked on purpose."
"Why do you think so?"
Xia Yu asked.
"Because I also got a gossip. I heard that Hu Xian was furious at the company and cursed the British. It must have been a British man behind the scenes."
"The few advertisers who were stubbornly reluctant to get private were instigated by the British, unless she sold the company, but I heard that the price was too low and Hu Xian was unwilling to sell."
"So I guess it was Hu Xian's deliberate release of the news. It was either to take the opportunity to attract more buyers, or new buyers to pay high prices, or to force the British to pay high prices."
Yan Wenhan said with a serious expression, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Xia Yu, waiting for the boss's order.
Xia Yu frowned slightly and his brain quickly turned.
"British?"
"It's very possible for a British guy to fall into the pit and take advantage of the fire to rob him, but who the **** is it? To force such an arrogant person as Hu Xian to bow his head and only secretly spread the news. There are so many powerful British people, who is it? "
"Wenhan, do you know who wants to take advantage of the fire?"
Xia Yu asked.
"I don't know this, but I have sent someone to inquire before I came here, I don't know if I can inquire about it."
Yan Wenhan said truthfully.
Xia Yu nodded slightly and didn't ask much. He condensed his eyebrows and thought for a while and said: "Forget it, it doesn't matter who it is. The important thing is that we must find a way to buy Sing Tao News Group."
"Buy it?"
Yan Wenhan's eyes stared in surprise, he really didn't expect to buy it.
As soon as he got the news, he had an idea in his mind. Sing Tao News Group had no threats. Jiuding News Corporation's dominance was completely stabilized. In the future, the media industry will be the world of Jiuding News Corporation.
He never thought that it was because he thought it was not worth it, and the risk of buying it was too high. In the case of Jiuding Newspaper Company, there is no need to buy it.
Besides, even if Jiuding Newspaper Company wants to buy it, it is hard to say whether Hu Xian is willing to sell it!
To know that Sing Tao News Group has come to the present stage and trace the root cause, it is still to blame on Jiuding Newspaper Company. The two sides are rivals. It is estimated that Hu Xian will not sell to Jiuding Newspaper Company.
"Boss, is it possible to buy this? And it's not worth it? The price should be high."
Yan Wenhan asked puzzledly.
The corner of Xia Yu's mouth curled up and said, "How can I know if I don't try? What if it's possible?"
"As for whether it is worth it or not, as long as it is in our hands, it is worth it. The price is only known after we talk about it.
Xia Yu really wants to buy Sing Tao News Group.
High cost?
The price is cut to reasonable!
High risk?
It varies from person to person. It is a huge risk for Hu Xian. Putting it on Xia Yu is a pediatrics, and he can easily resolve it!
Moreover, Sing Tao News Corporation is better than others in his hands. At least the potential threat will disappear and its own strength can be enhanced.
Even if "Sing Tao Daily" and "English Standard" are homogenized with the newspapers of Jiuding News, Xia Yu has some ways to rectify it.
With such a large media market, Hong Kong has to accommodate one or two hundred newspapers. There are more newspapers that are homogenous with the newspapers of Jiuding News, but what can be done?
As long as the quality of the newspaper is improved, the positioning is well done, and the market for other newspapers can be snatched over.
Or is the newspaper revised to avoid homogenous competition with other newspapers under the Jiuding Newspaper Company, and can not beat Jiuding Daily and Fengyun Daily, or other newspapers?
With Jiuding News Agency in hand, Xia Yu has no worries about not having high-quality news to publish, only that there are not enough newspapers in his hand and not enough pages to report all the news!
"Then boss, I'll try it right away."
Seeing the boss's attitude, Yan Wenhan nodded in agreement despite his doubts.
After a while, Yan Wenhan went out full of thoughts. When the morning was about to pass, Yan Wenhan came to the office again, his eyes still had an incredible look.
"Boss, I went to test Hu Xian, but I didn't expect that she didn't refuse but said she wanted to meet you."
Yan Wenhanhui reports.
If there is no rejection, it is possible, and if you want to meet the boss Xia Yu, the hope is even greater. As long as the negotiation is good, it is really possible to buy.
The specific situation at that time depends on the boss's methods!
"see me?"
"No problem, promise her, and the location and time are up to her."
The corner of Xia Yu's mouth was curved, and she said relaxedly, let Hu Xian decide the time and place, she would definitely feel Xia Yu's kindness, even if she was angry, she would be able to eliminate some of it by then, which would be more beneficial to the negotiation.
"Okay, I will reply to her immediately!"
Yan Wenhan nodded heavily and said.
"Go, hurry up!"
Xia Yu smiled and nodded.
