Chapter 246 Gambling Agreement (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

  Jiahu Textile has become the most popular company in Xiangjiang recently, bar none!

  First, the three major newspapers, "Oriental Daily", "Sing Tao Daily", and "Sing Pao", reported that the Xiangjiang stock market crash was detonated by Chu Huan, the chairman of Jiahu Textile.

  Subsequently, the chairman of Jiahu Textile immediately refuted with Jiahu Building, and sued the three major newspapers for defamation, and each newspaper demanded 10 million Hong Kong dollars in compensation.

  This case has been accepted by Xiangjiang Court.

   Then, Huhua Real Estate, a wholly-owned holding company under Jiahu Textile, went against the wind due to the downturn in Xiangjiang real estate stocks and the criticism of Hong Kong population. Xingfuju was sold out at the beginning of the month!

  Finally, today is the day when Jiahu Textile announced that it would sue Xiangjiang Jinxiu Textile for stealing the company's core secrets by improper means, and demanded that Jinxiu Textile immediately stop its actions and make compensation for it.

In the end, Jiahu Textile also announced that it has contacted overseas capital juvenile investment. The two parties will provide funds with juvenile investment. Jiahu Textile will provide a series of conditions such as technology, raw materials, and factory buildings to establish a joint venture clothing company, aiming to promote Hong Kong. Local clothing brand, on the road to internationalization!

  As soon as the two news came out, Jiahu Textile once again became the focus of Xiangjiang media.

  No one has heard of juvenile investment, but when they hear about overseas investment, it seems particularly tall.

In addition, Hong Kong people are more concerned about this move of Jiahu Textile. Before the Xiangjiang media reported that Chu Huan detonated the stock market crash and profited from it, now Jiahu Textile has expanded its business. Although it is a cooperation with overseas capital, After all, he expanded his business, which naturally made some people dissatisfied.

  Especially those who are unhappy with Chu Huan.

In this world, no one can be 100% liked by others. Even people without black spots will be imagined to be black spots, not to mention that Chu Huan is not detonating the stock market at this time. This matter is thoroughly cleaned up.

  So some newspapers began to criticize Chu Huan!

   Among them, the "Oriental Daily" was the most violent!

  As the largest newspaper in Xiangjiang, "Oriental Daily" naturally has its own confidence, especially because there are two brothers, Ma and Ma, standing behind them.

   It is natural to be more unscrupulous when doing things.

  Chu Huan sued them before, which already made the "Oriental Daily" very upset, but anyway, such things did drive the sales of "Oriental Daily".

In addition, because of the relationship behind the "Oriental Daily", it has been called a "flour newspaper" by Hong Kong people. Malaysia is a person who pays great attention to reputation. Although he is in the flour business, he still pays attention to reputation, so it is not a last resort. Under such circumstances, Malaysia will not use its associations because of the "Oriental Daily News".

   But all of this did not prevent the "Oriental Daily" from being unhappy with Chu Huan, so now when Jiahu Textile announced the cooperation with Juvenile Investment, "Oriental Daily" immediately wrote an article and published it in the evening paper of the day.

"Chu Huan used his actual actions to prove what is self-contradictory. Before that, Chu Huan told everyone that he did not profit from the stock market crash, but the reality is that he only spent less than 100 million Hong Kong dollars. The price got Jiahu Textile and Huhua Real Estate worth 700 million in total, and also sent his own uncle to Stanley by the way.

   If this is not profitable, can someone please tell me? What is monetization?

Now, Chu Huan’s Jiahu Textile has reached a cooperation with overseas capital juvenile investment to jointly establish its own clothing brand. Although Jiahu Textile has no cash investment, but the factory buildings, machines, labor, raw materials, etc., which one does not need cash? As far as we know, after Chu Huan acquired Jiahu Textile, the working capital of Jiahu Textile has been taken away by Chu Tianxiao.

   That is to say, when Chu Huan took over Jiahu Textile, Jiahu Textile had no working capital, so where did Chu Huan get all the funds now?"

  As soon as the "Oriental Daily" report came out, it once again attracted widespread attention from the citizens of Xiangjiang, and the discussion about Chu Huan became lively again.

  In Repulse Bay Villa.

  Cao Yunshang held the newspaper in his hand, and said to Chu Huan: "Did you not investigate clearly before, maybe the Oriental Daily is also one of the alliances that deal with you?"

Chu Huan took the newspaper from Cao Yunshang's hands, threw it on the table with disdain, and said calmly: "Today is not the same as before. In the past, the matter was urgent, and the only way to sue the three major newspapers is to temporarily delay this matter. , now that such a long time has passed, I have already thought of a way to deal with them, and this time the "Oriental Daily" just sent a ladder over!"

  Kelly, who was sitting beside her with a radiant face, already knew what happened to Chu Huan from Cao Yunshang in the afternoon. She was amazed at Chu Huan's keen sense of the stock market, but also felt that those newspapers were a bit unreasonable.

At this time, there was a curious expression on his face, "It's hard to explain this kind of thing. People are willing to believe what they want to believe. Now the newspapers in Xiangjiang have preconceived this matter and made Xiangjiang people think that you are this person. Now After your previous behavior, although you have changed some people's minds.

   But those who do not want to change, are the most difficult. "

   Cao Yunshang agrees with Kelly's analysis.

  People who are vacillating in their hearts can easily change their minds, but those who have confirmed this matter, it is extremely difficult to make them change their minds!

  That’s because you haven’t heard of magic defeating magic. Chu Huan chuckled lightly and said, “Don’t worry, I’ve already made arrangements for this matter. Let them dance around for two days, and they’ll regret it later!”

  Cao Yunshang and Kelly looked at each other, and they both saw the hot eyes in each other's eyes, and then looked at Chu Huan at the same time.

   asked curiously: "What is the method?"

   Just when Chu Huan, Cao Yunshang, and Kelly asked Chu Huan what he could do, Huang Yulang came to the Jade Club.

  Even though Huang Yulang has a net worth of 10 million, he is actually not qualified to be a member here. He can only be brought or invited by the members here when he comes here.

  After seeing Huang Yulang, the waiter of the Jade Club immediately greeted him with a smile: "Boss Huang, Young Master Zhang is already waiting for you at the booth, please follow me!"

  Huang Yulang raised his forehead slightly, with a look of irritability between his brows and eyes.

In fact, during this period of time, Huang Yulang's life was not easy. It's still the same sentence. Under the stock market crash, no leek can survive. Huang Yulang is actually a leek, but his leek is more expensive than ordinary leeks. Grow thicker.

But also because he is thick and strong, in fact, the loss is even more serious. He thought that relying on Michael Keswick and others could pull Chu Huan down in one fell swoop, and then rely on the matter of becoming the master of fantasy comics to make up for his loss This loss.

But their plans have been frustrated one after another, especially because of Chu Huan's reputation, the sales of "Fantasy Comics" have not dropped much, but Xiangjiang's comic market is so big, and the sales of "Fantasy Comics" have severely squeezed "Little Hooligans" sales.

  Especially now, comic fans in Xiangjiang have begun to complain about the "Little Rascal" series of comics, with old-fashioned stories, rough pictures, and watery plots.

   Obviously, "Fantasy Comics" has directly improved the appreciation level of fans of Xiangjiang comics, while Huang Yulang's "Little Rascal" can no longer keep up with the rhythm.

  The stock market has suffered heavy losses, and the sales of comics have been declining steadily. None of this can make Huang Yulang happy.

  But today's invitation gave Huang Yulang some hope, maybe today's date can help him get through this difficult time.

   Coming to the booth, Huang Yulang sorted out his mood, showed a slight smile, and walked in slowly.

   "Young Master Zhang, I'm sorry to keep you waiting!"

  Seeing Huang Yulang coming in, Zhang Chengzhong didn't get up, but said with a smile: "Boss Huang is here, please sit down."

  As Huang Yulang sat down, Zhang Chengzhong continued to laugh and said, "Boss Huang came just in time. This bottle of wine has just woken up, which is the best time."

  Huang Yulang picked up the wine glass, sniffed it lightly, and said with a smile: "It really is a good wine, and it cost Zhang Shao a lot."

  Zhang Chengzhong laughed, and said: "Drinking with friends is a happy thing, and if you talk about spending money, you will be out of it!"

  Huang Yulang was secretly delighted, and suddenly felt that Zhang Chengzhong was much better than Chen Qizong. Seeing how nice Zhang Chengzhong spoke, it gave people a feeling of spring breeze, and seeing that Chen Qizong's nostrils were almost up to the sky.

   "Then I will not be polite!"

   After speaking, Huang Yulang raised his glass to clink with Zhang Chengzhong.

After the two of them took a sip of the wine in their glasses, Zhang Chengzhong said with a smile: "Boss Huang, there is one thing I don't quite understand. The sales volume of your "Little Rascal" series of comics and Chu Huan's "Fantasy Comics" series in Xiangjiang It's almost the same, even if there is a booklet, it shouldn't make so much more money than you? What's going on?"

If someone asked this question, Huang Yulang would definitely be very angry, and even thought that the other party was making himself look bad on purpose, but now that Zhang Chengzhong asked, Huang Yulang had no such thoughts, and was even very happy in his heart, because Zhang Chengzhong asked, It means that the other party is interested in the comics industry.

  In fact, it’s not just Zhang Chengzhong. With the success of “Fantasy Comics” in Xiangjiang, many people in Xiangjiang have paid attention to this industry. In the past two months, Xiangjiang has established three comic companies.

  They originally wanted to learn from "Fantasy Comics" to adapt the novels of Jin Yong and Gu Long, but after asking, they found out that the comic copyrights of these two novels had already been sold to "Fantasy Comics".

  But people will always find a way. Since Jin Yong and Gu Long’s novels are not good, then we will adapt other people’s novels. Is the style of your "Fantasy Comics" bold, and we will be even bolder.

   It can be said that the comic content of some comic companies is already comparable to "Dragon Tiger Leopard".

  In addition, there are also those who plagiarize the story of "Dragon Ball". If you make Little Wukong, then we will make Little Nezha. They are all mythical characters anyway, so you can't say I copied it.

   Of course, Huang Yulang's "Little Hooligan" series cannot avoid plagiarism.

  Such actions pose no threat to "Fantasy Comics". "Dragon Ball" has been out for so many years, and there is no comic that can be copied successfully, and it is even more impossible now.

   Not to mention "Fantasy Comics" and "Transformers", "Resident Evil", "Tomb Raider" and other comics that can be played.

   But the "Little Rascal" series will not work.

  Not only was Xiangjiang’s comic market squeezed by "Fantasy Comics" began to lose, but also his market was gradually eroded by these scattered comic companies.

  So now Huang Yulang urgently needs funds to recover blood and improve the company's operating status.

"Hey, all of this was my mistake. Before, I always wanted to stabilize the Xiangjiang market first, and then go to capture the markets in Southeast Asia, Taiwan Island, Japan and other places, but I ignored the current market situation of the overall comics market. Let Chu Huan's "Fantasy Comics" take the lead and seize the market in advance."

  Huang Yulang didn't lie, he really thought that his "Little Rascal" series was no worse than Chu Huan's "Fantasy Comics".

  Although I also borrowed some things from "Fantasy Comics" before, it was just a reinforcement.

  Zhang Chengzhong suddenly asked: "So what does Boss Huang mean to say, as long as your Yulang Books can get a certain amount of money now, it will help you open up the Southeast Asian market and expand the Xiangjiang market?"

  Huang Yulang immediately said loudly: "This is for sure. My comics are no worse than "Fantasy Comics". As long as there is sufficient funds, I will be able to continue to expand the market of Xiangjiang, and entering the Southeast Asian market is also easy!"

  Hearing what Huang Yulang said, Zhang Chengzhong slapped the table excitedly and said loudly: "That's right!"

  Huang Yulang was stunned for a moment, and then he felt happy in his heart. Zhang Chengzhong's performance has already shown that he really cares about this industry very much.

   Sure enough, what Zhang Chengzhong said next made Huang Yulang even happier.

"Boss Huang, to tell you the truth, I invite you to come here today. I am optimistic about the future development prospects of the comics market, and I want to use a sum of money to go in and see the market. However, when we decided to deal with Chu Huan, I also investigated After looking at this industry, I found that if you want to survive and grow in this industry, it is useless to have money alone. You also need to have a good story and a good painter. So, Boss Huang, I have money and you have stories. The two of us It can also be called a match made in heaven!"

  Huang Yulang also said excitedly: "So, Young Master Zhang plans to invest in my Yulang Books?"

  Zhang Chengzhong said with a smile: "This is natural. You and I are an alliance. Now it is a matter of course to cooperate to enter the comics market."

  Huang Yulang immediately picked up the wine glass and said, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation!"

  Zhang Chengzhong waved his hands at this time and said: "Don't worry!"

   Huang Yulang, whose appetite had already been whetted, couldn't understand Zhang Chengzhong's meaning at this time, and looked at Zhang Chengzhong with some worry.

Zhang Chengzhong said with a smile: "Boss Huang, since we are going to cooperate, we must make some things clear. We must first be a villain and then a gentleman, so that we will avoid disagreements between you and me in the company's affairs in the future, which will hurt us." Is there a relationship between you and me?"

Zhang Chengzhong immediately suppressed his joy, and his rationality returned to his brain. Zhang Chengzhong's joining is bound to take away part of his shares in Yulang Books. For Huang Yulang, who has a very strong desire to control, it is actually a matter. Something I really don't want to have happen.

But now, I have suffered heavy losses in the stock market, and my cash has been locked up. I can't get out cash at all, and now the comic market in Xiangjiang is getting more and more chaotic. If I can't expand Yulang Books within this period of time Influence.

  Not to mention "Fantasy Comics", even other comic companies may have photographed themselves on the beach.

  So he must get the money!

   "Young Master Zhang is right, so let Young Master Zhang express his own thoughts first!" Huang Yulang said earnestly.

  Zhang Chengzhong nodded and said: "In this way, I will take out 3 million in cash and take up 30% of the shares of Yulang Books. Boss Huang should have no objection to this point?"

  Huang Yulang smiled and nodded, "No, actually Young Master Zhang is already taking care of me!"

Although "Cheng Pao" valued Yulang Books at 10 million before, this is different from the past. With the market value of Yulang Books sluggish, the valuation of Yulang Books will definitely drop, so now Zhang Chengzhong still gives Yulang Books Lang Book's valuation of 10 million, this time Huang Yulang really took advantage!

"Haha, since you and I are already in a cooperative relationship, naturally we don't need to care about these details!" Zhang Chengzhong said with a happy smile: "As for the second point, it's actually very simple. I'm a newcomer in this industry after all. What? I don’t understand, so in terms of management, I won’t make a fool of myself, just wait for Boss Huang to give me a share!”

  Huang Yulang suddenly showed a surprised expression, which was really a surprise. Before that, what Huang Yulang was most worried about was that Zhang Chengzhong wanted to participate in the management of the company, which was a very painful thing for him.

   Now it’s better, Zhang Chengzhong actually gave up this one on his own initiative, that is to give him money to let himself develop freely.

   Zhang Chengzhong, good man!

   "Young Master Zhang, I respect you for this glass of wine!"

   After finishing speaking, Huang Yulang drank the wine in his glass in one gulp!

Zhang Chengzhong accompanied Huang Yulang and drank the wine in his glass, and then continued: "It's not too late, Boss Huang should know our family's influence in Southeast Asia, and I will contact you immediately after I leave Xiangjiang. Distributors in Southeast Asia, I think I will be able to help Boss Huang better open up the Southeast Asian market!"

  Zhang Chengzhong, you are my real father!

  Huang Yulang was already so happy that he didn't know what to say. He could only say that happiness came too suddenly like a tornado.

   "With the help of Young Master Zhang, I believe our Yulang Books will defeat "Fantasy Comics" sooner or later!"

  Zhang Chengzhong smiled proudly: "This is for sure, I have always believed in Boss Huang's ability!"

  Huang Yulang felt that he had inexhaustible energy all over his body, so he wanted to go back and draw manga early!

  However, what Zhang Chengzhong said next made Huang Yulang slightly worried.

"But Boss Huang, in terms of business, since I have given you such great convenience, Boss Huang, I also hope that you, Boss Huang, can give me some guarantees. After all, in this period, not everyone can easily spend three million !"

  Huang Yulang couldn't help asking: "What does Young Master Zhang mean?"

"I took the money, and I don't participate in the management of the company. I also contacted the distributors in Southeast Asia for Boss Huang, so you have to give me a guarantee, Boss Huang. Within three months, I hope that within three months, " The comic "Little Rascal" can return to the sales volume of 200,000 per issue in Xiangjiang, and at the same time, it also has a single issue of 200,000 copies in the Southeast Asian market."

"If you can't reach this sales volume, then Boss Huang, you have to pay me 10 million Hong Kong dollars or transfer the copyright of Yulang Books and all the comics under Yulang Books to me. At the same time, Boss Huang has to sign industry confidentiality rules. Within ten years from now, Boss Huang will not be allowed to enter the comics industry and industries related to the comics industry again!"

   "Of course, if Boss Huang can accomplish this goal, then I will return 15% of the shares of Yulang Books to Boss Huang!"

   Zhang Chengzhong slowly stated his purpose!

  A simple VAM agreement came into being.

   This agreement is naturally something that Chu Huan entrusted to Zhang Chengzhong to do. Chu Huan does not know whether the gambling agreement has already appeared in this era, but there is a high probability that it has not yet appeared.

  So it is enough to seduce Huang Yulang!

   Sure enough, after listening to Zhang Chengzhong's words, Huang Yulang fell silent.

  Although he had never seen the VAM agreement, he also understood from Zhang Chengzhong that this matter did not go as smoothly as he thought.

  Zhang Chengzhong, you are not my real father!

  The happiness just now is like a tornado, it comes quickly, and it disappears quickly!

  If I really failed, would I have to leave the comics industry for ten years?

  Ten years later, what will Xiangjiang’s comics market look like?

  Huang Yulang is slowly weighing the pros and cons. He doesn't know whether this agreement is good or bad for him, but it is undeniable that the temptation given by Zhang Chengzhong in the early stage is too great, and the big Huang Yulang doesn't want to give up at all.

  Seeing that Huang Yulang did not speak, Zhang Chengzhong said with a smile: "Of course, if Boss Huang thinks these conditions are too harsh"

   "So Young Master Zhang is going to lower the requirements?" Huang Yulang immediately asked excitedly.

  Since Zhang Chengzhong is not Huang Yulang's biological father, it is naturally impossible to lower the requirements. In fact, even if Zhang Chengzhong wanted to lower the requirements, he would not dare. This is what Chu Huan requested.

   "What I mean is, if Boss Huang finds it difficult, then let's do business without benevolence and righteousness. As for me, I will find other comic companies to cooperate with. I think Xiangjiang should have a comic company to cooperate with me!"

  When Huang Yulang heard Zhang Chengzhong's words, a sense of crisis suddenly rose in his heart.

  The "Little Rascal" series of comics had sold 200,000 copies in Xiangjiang before. Now that they have sufficient funds, it should be easy to return to this peak.

As for the sales in Southeast Asia, since Zhang Chengzhong is willing to help contact the distributors in Southeast Asia, the sales should not be too bad. It took less than a month for "Fantasy Comics" to break through this number. It will be worse than Chu Huan!

  After thinking about all this, Huang Yulang gritted his teeth and said, "Young Master Zhang, you don't need to find another comic company. I agree to your request!"

   Seeing Huang Yulang agreeing, Zhang Chengzhong immediately smiled and said, "I knew that Boss Huang is a person who does big things. Since Boss Huang has already agreed, how about the two of us signing an agreement at the law firm tomorrow?"

  Huang Yulang smiled and said, "No problem!"

   Then the two clinked glasses again to celebrate this cooperation!

   "Okay, I know about this matter, you have done a good job, and someone will send you three million yuan early tomorrow morning!"

  Chu Huan received a call from Zhang Chengzhong at his villa in Repulse Bay.

   "That, my photo?" Zhang Chengzhong asked tentatively on the phone, his flattering attitude had long since disappeared, and he had everything under control when facing Huang Yulang before.

  Chu Huan chuckled and said, "Don't worry, after three months, when I get Yulang's book, those photos will naturally be given to you!"

  Since Huang Yulang has participated in the alliance against him, he must pay the price for this matter.

   Only by making the conditions harsher can I get what I want from Huang Yulang.

  Three months! ?

   Although the time is a bit long, it is enough!

  When Zhang Chengzhong heard what Chu Huan said, he had no choice but to hang up the phone.

   "I didn't expect this Huang Yulang to be fooled so easily?" Cao Yunshang sighed and said, "He was also the number one person in Xiangjiang's comics industry back then!"

Chu Huan chuckled, and said: "The so-called first person is just the wild era of Xiangjiang's comics industry at that time. He was the first to come out and get a bonus, but this does not mean that he is really capable of matching The name of the first person."

  Huang Yulang's life can be summed up simply, either in failure or on the road to failure.

   It is undeniable that this person does have good abilities in comics, but as long as he leaves the comics, he is a younger brother.

   He just wants to prove himself in the mall arrogantly.

   In the end, the falls became worse every time!

  Three million, it is worthwhile to get the IP of Xiangjiang's first comic "Dragon Tiger Gate" in the 1970s and 1980s, and more importantly, Chu Huan can get more things he wants.

   "Little Hooligan" is the predecessor of "Dragon Tiger Gate"!

  For example, Huang Yulang is the key to Chu Huan turning around his reputation in Xiangjiang!

  Kelly said from the side: "I'm really curious, is the comics industry really that profitable? Are you too concerned?"

   This is actually something that Kelly has never been able to understand, after all, she does not know the true power of "Fantasy Comics".

  Chu Huan didn't explain anything, just smiled and said, "You'll find out in another year!"

  The current Fantasy Manga is just getting started.

  Now that the matter has been settled, it's almost time. Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang went upstairs to the bedroom, while Kelly returned to her room with her lips curled in boredom.

  The next day, Chu Huan got up in the morning and came directly to "Fantasy Comics". He wanted to discuss with the people from "Fantasy Comics" how to fight back against "Oriental Daily"!

   Also, the next chapter is at five o'clock in the afternoon~
