Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

Early the next morning, Xia Yu began to collect information on newspapers, trying to find the most suitable newspaper for acquisition.

A day passed while Xia Yu was busy. In the morning, he took time to go to the Kowloon Exchange and found that the stock had been delivered, and then he applied to transfer the funds to HSBC's bank account.

Busy until the evening, Xia Yu continued to analyze and filter, and finally found a newspaper suitable for acquisition.

"Hong Kong Island Daily"!

It is only one word away from "Sing Tao Daily", which is now the second best seller!

But now the gap between the two is like an abyss. One is a newspaper that sells well throughout Southeast Asia, and the other is a local tabloid in Hong Kong.

The name of "Hong Kong Island Daily" is closer to Hong Kong than "Sing Tao Daily". This is because "Hong Kong Island Daily" was established in 1936, two years earlier than "Sing Tao Daily" established in 1938, and it is now 1978. Year has 42 years of history, and the qualifications are old enough!

"Hong Kong Island Daily" has also been brilliant in the past. Under the leadership of the founder, it was determined to forge ahead. By 1946, it had ascended the throne of the No. 1 newspaper in Hong Kong, and it has been sitting until 1950.

It's just a pity that the founder of "Hong Kong Island Daily" suddenly died of a serious illness. He has not had time to train a successor, and only has a playful son.

Prodigal is the exclusive and excellent skill of playboys!

It is conceivable that in just one year, the sales of "Hong Kong Island Daily" continued to decline, and it did not even make it into the top ten.

At this time, the second generation of dandy reacted, "Hong Kong Island Daily" will continue to lose money in his hands, and he has to recover the losses in time, otherwise there will be less money!

How to do?

There is a saying that it is not distressed that the cub sells Ye Tian, ​​and the second generation of the scoundrel directly resells the "Hong Kong Island Daily" and continues to spend a lot of time.

The person who took over believed that the "Hong Kong Island Daily" was still in existence and had a chance to rise, so they vigorously rectified it.

Not to mention, it really made him hold the downward trend and barely ranked tenth, but his ability was insufficient, and he tried his best, and the "Hong Kong Island Daily" was still hovering in the ninth and tenth place.

After struggling for a few years, the man gave up and handed the "Hong Kong Island Daily" to the hiring manager to take care of his other business.

Unfortunately, after more than ten years, the main business of the second boss was affected. In order to raise funds, he had to sell the declining "Hong Kong Island Daily".

In this way, the "Hong Kong Island Daily" changed its third boss who did not believe in evil, and it has remained until now.

However, after so many years, "Hong Kong Island Daily" has also become a small newspaper with an average daily sales volume of more than 3,000 copies. thousand copies.

And Xia Yu also found out that the current boss of "Hong Kong Island Daily", the third boss Ding Shengwu, because he urgently needs money, he has given up on the idea of ​​using newspapers to advance to the upper level, and he has long planned to sell newspapers. , but after a year, it still hasn't been sold, so he is very anxious.

Others dislike "Hong Kong Island Daily", which does not mean that Xia Yu dislikes it. In his opinion, "Hong Kong Island Daily" is still very valuable and will help him in his follow-up actions.

First of all, "Hong Kong Island Daily" is old enough. It can be said to be a veteran newspaper in the Hong Kong newspaper industry. Although it has declined, it can also be said to be a name, and it can still scare some people out of it. .

Secondly, because the qualifications of "Hong Kong Island Daily" are old enough, although it has declined and many previous channels have disappeared, it is undeniable that "Hong Kong Island Daily" still has some channels, which are still very helpful for distribution.

Furthermore, the advantage of "Hong Kong Island Daily" is that the newspaper office has its own printing plant, so there is no need to hand over the newspaper to other printing plants for printing, which can reduce costs and speed up efficiency. And although many machines of the printing factory are out of use, the printing factory has enough land,

Enough for later expansion.

In the end, the thing that Xia Yu valued the most was people! The staff in "Hong Kong Island Daily" are very valuable!

Part of the reason for the poor sales of "Hong Kong Island Daily" is that the employees are not good enough, but in Xia Yu's view, the main reason is the helm of the newspaper. Without a good leader, the development ceiling of a newspaper is destined to be too high.

And "Hong Kong Island Daily" is like this. Xia Yu analyzed the reasons and found that a large part of the reason for this newspaper's failure to rise is because the helm is not good, and it has little relationship with employees.

In this case, it is easy to handle. After Xia Yu acquired the "Hong Kong Island Daily", he could run the business himself. Before finding the right person, he could be qualified for the position of president and editor-in-chief. After all, in his memory, there happened to be later generations. The memory of Time Warner's CEO, running a small newspaper is no problem.

If this problem is solved, then the value of the employees can be brought into play. Don’t forget that although there are not many employees in this newspaper, all of them are veterans who have been in the industry for many years and can execute Xia Yu’s orders well. He doesn’t need to They work as editor-in-chief and boss. As long as they perform their duties, it will be OK for Xia Yu.

Coupled with the network of these people, when the newspaper office expands, their value can be brought into play again, they can quickly help the newspaper office dig people, can keep up with the expansion speed of the newspaper, and minimize the expansion of the newspaper office. risk.

Therefore, in Xia Yu's view, the acquisition of "Hong Kong Island Daily" has many benefits!

Of course, Xia Yu didn't believe that no one saw the merits of "Hong Kong Island Daily" for so many years, but why did no one buy it?

Nothing more than that no one has the confidence to buy "Hong Kong Island Daily" to guarantee its rise!

Since there is no guarantee that "Hong Kong Island Daily" will rise, the above potential advantages will not be realized at all. If you think about it, it will be in vain.

but!

Others are not confident, but Xia Yu is completely confident! Not only does he have the key to open this treasure chest, but he can also open it in a different way, which can fully tap the potential value of "Hong Kong Island Daily".

Moreover, according to Xia Yu's calculations, including the land and machinery of the printing factory, the overall value of the "Hong Kong Island Daily" is now about 300,000 yuan. Considering that the boss is eager to sell and does not need a premium, Xia Yu can completely cut it. Bought it for 250,000.

The same thing has completely different values ​​in the eyes of people with different resources, as is the case with Hong Kong Island Daily.

In the eyes of ordinary people, "Hong Kong Island Daily" can only be calculated in terms of assets, and it is worth about 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, but in Xia Yu's view, 1 million Hong Kong dollars is also worth, and Xia Yu only needs to spend hundreds of thousands to buy it To what he thinks is worth a million, it is completely earned.

As the saying goes, his arsenic is my honey!

"It's about the "Hong Kong Island Daily", it's not too late, I'll buy it when the funds arrive tomorrow!" Xia Yu clenched his fist and said with determination.

PS: I’m really sorry. When I was looking for information last night, I found that I had a knowledge loophole. I didn’t understand the profit problem of short selling, which made the plot unreasonable. Maybe everyone didn’t think much about that problem. I modified the previous content. . In order to minimize the negative impact, I changed a point. The amount of money earned by the protagonist in the casino was increased from 62,000 to 120,000, and the time was changed from two days to three days. After that, when the protagonist entered the stock market, the principal was It is no longer more than 60,000, but 120,000. Five times leverage has leveraged 600,000 funds, and the final total amount is still 520,000. Brothers who have read it before, pay attention, otherwise there may be some places that feel wrong when reading the following chapters. I'm sorry everyone, I made this mistake, which affects everyone's reading experience, I'm really sorry, and I look forward to Haihan!

PS: The new week is here again. I wish you all a comfortable life. The protagonist's career is about to start. I also hope that the data in this book will be even better this week. Everyone, come on!
