NOVEL NEXT Chapter 55
“There is one more thing.”
Su Chengyang instructed:”I plan to register a group company, named Shanhai Group, which will hold four companies: Shanhai Network, Shanhai Film, Shanhai Games, and Shanhai Literature. You arrange for someone to handle the relevant procedures. The group’s headquarters is in this building.
Speaking of buildings, since we have bought this building, it is not appropriate to call it the Pure Building. Find a time to handle the name change procedures. From now on, it will be called Shanhai Building.”
“”Okay, Chairman.”
After the meeting with Lin Haishen,
Su Chengyang walked out of the office.
The human resources manager came over.
Su Chengyang stopped:”What’s the matter?”
“Chairman, you instructed to recruit assistants and secretaries before. Here is the list of candidates. Please take a look.”
He reached out to take the document and flipped through it casually.
I have to say that the candidates are not good-looking.
It looks like this from the photos.
As for what they are like in real life, we have to see them to know.
As for their academic qualifications, they are varied.
Some are from Beijing Dance Academy, some are from Beijing Foreign Studies University, some are from Renmin University, Minzu University of China and many other well-known universities.
Their academic qualifications are good, but their majors have nothing to do with secretaries or assistants.
Su Chengyang selected two resumes from a list of candidates:”These two, please arrange them.”
After that, he handed the document back to the human resources manager
“”Okay, Chairman.”
The HR manager nodded, took the documents and turned to make a phone call.
Su Chengyang took the elevator to the eighth floor, which was Shanhai Game Company.
The sixth floor was where Shanhai Pictures worked.
The seventh floor was where Shanhai Network worked.
When he arrived at the eighth floor and walked into the office area, he saw about 70 to 80 people busy. Before the New Year, there were only 7 or 8 people. In less than two months, there were so many more people.
Su Chengyang came to He Zhifei’s office.
“Dongdong~~”
Knocked on the door
“Please come in.”
Su Chengyang pushed the door open and walked in.
“Chairman.”
Seeing that it was Su Chengyang who came in, He Zhifei stood up quickly
“How is the project going?”Su Chengyang sat down on the sofa and looked at He Zhifei with a smile on his face.
He Zhifei quickly poured a glass of water for Su Chengyang, then sat down next to Su Chengyang and said with a smile:”Even if the chairman doesn’t come, I plan to report the project progress to you later.”
“Um~~”
Su Chengyang took a sip of water and motioned He Zhifei to continue.
“Before the New Year, I went to Riot Games headquarters and we had a deal. We also got the game source code and data. After more than half a month of hard work, the Chinese localization has been basically completed. The server and official website have also been built and can be tested at any time.”
“In addition, in order to ensure that the game version is the same as Riot’s, we discussed with Riot and asked them to recruit Chinese-speaking developers in the United States to develop two versions at the same time, which can save time for Chinese localization.”
Many games are different from the official version. For example, the Chinese version of World of Warcraft is one version later than the foreign version, which is also often complained by players.
If it is possible to synchronize the version updates, it would be better. As for hiring two or three more people, it is not a problem at all.
“How’s the situation on World of Warcraft? How’s the team recruitment going?”
“March is almost here, there are only a few months left.”
He Zhifei said with a smile:”We have recruited more than 20 people for the World of Warcraft project and are trying to familiarize them with the game. There are still two or three months left, so it will definitely be in time.”
“That’s good.”
Su Chengyang also relaxed.
World of Warcraft is a money-making tool, and the national server already has hundreds of thousands or even millions of players. Unlike League of Legends, which is a new game, if there is an error, or if the server is handed over and the wait is too long, the negative impact will be too great, so preparations must be made in advance.
Afterwards, he talked to He Zhifei about e-sports events and live broadcasts.
Su Chengyang had not discussed this with He Zhifei before. When He Zhifei heard about the establishment of the League of Legends e-sports event, his eyes widened and he was stunned.
Especially when he heard about promoting the League of Legends e-sports event to be included in the Olympic Games, his mouth opened wide.
Gurgle~~
He Zhifei swallowed,”Chairman, is this possible?”
Su Chengyang chuckled, with a warm smile on his face, and said,”Why is it impossible?”
“It’s up to you”
“As long as the influence of e-sports games is big enough, everything is possible.”
League of Legends was able to become an Olympic event in the past, so it makes no sense that it can’t be this time.”
“The chairman is right, it depends on human effort.”
He Zhifei smiled and stopped worrying about this issue.
For him, these were not what he should consider. What he had to do now was to ensure that the League of Legends national service project could become popular in China….
An old office building with peeling paint near Zhongguancun
“Hello, who are you looking for?”
After entering the Jinjiang Company Building, the receptionist stood up, glanced at him, and asked politely
“Hello, I am from Oasis Capital, and I want to talk to Mr. Huang from your company.”
Su Chengyang said with a smile
“Please wait a moment.”
The young lady picked up the phone, quickly dialed the number, said a few words to the phone, then hung up the phone and said to Su Chengyang:”Hello, please follow me”
“Thank you very much.”
Su Chengyang followed him and told Liao Haidong and Fang Jinwu to wait in the lounge.
Passing through the front desk, there is the office area, which is very small, about 50 to 60 square meters, with more than a dozen computers, and more than a dozen young men and women busy at the computers.
On one side, there are three rooms with signs saying General Manager’s Office, Finance Office, and Administration and Personnel Department, and then nothing else. It is a typical startup company.
“Dongdong~~”
The front desk lady knocked on the door of the general manager’s office.
“Please come in.”
The young lady opened the door, then stepped back to the side of the door and gestured to Su Chengyang to come in.
Su Chengyang nodded and walked in.
What came into view was a woman with long black hair, ordinary clothes, about thirty years old.
“Hello, I’m Huang Yanming! May I ask who you are?”
Huang Yanming asked curiously when she found that the person in front of her was not the one she negotiated with last time.
“Hello, I am Su Chengyang, the boss of Oasis Capital. Su Chengyang stretched out his hand and said with a faint smile
“you…You are…The boss of Oasis Capital, the one who acquired Activision Blizzard?”
Huang Yanming was shocked.
Although she was not a game fan, the exposure of Activision Blizzard and the rejection of Softbank’s investment also made her have a certain understanding of Oasis Capital and the boss behind it, Su Chengyang.
It is rumored that the boss of Oasis Capital is very young.
Huang Yanming did not expect him to be so young. He looks like a college student and he is so handsome. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a pretty boy.
Seeing Su Chengyang nod, Huang Yanming hurriedly said:”Mr. Su, please sit down.”
Then he opened the door and asked someone to make two glasses of water.
“My humble abode is so simple that President Su is embarrassed.”
“I understand that this is the case for all startup companies. Yours is not so bad. When I started my business in the United States, it was just a single room.”Su Chengyang said as he sat down.
Huang Yanming said,”Mr. Su, you are joking. Our small company cannot compare with yours.”
Su Chengyang did not want to be polite, so he sat up straight and looked at Huang Yanming seriously,”Mr. Huang, I believe you know why I came here this time, so I will not waste words. I think the Jin Jiang website is good and I want to acquire it.
I also know that this website is the hard work of Mr. Huang and your wife. You must be reluctant to sell it, and I am the same.
So, I am willing to invest 10 million to buy 50% of the shares held by you and your wife. At the same time, I invite your wife to serve as the deputy general manager of Shanhai Literature, responsible for the operation of the copyright company, with an annual salary of 1 million, and Mr. Huang will continue to serve as the general manager of the Jin Jiang Literature website.”
“After you have worked for ten years, or Shanhai Literature starts its IPO plan, I can give you and your wife 5% of the original shares. What do you think?”
In order to take over Jinjiang, the film and television IP adaptation base, Su Chengyang spent a lot of money.
He gave you 5% of Shanhai Literature’s equity.
Don’t underestimate it. In his plan, this 5% equity will be worth at least 700 to 800 million in the future, and even 1 billion is possible.
“Mr. Su, what is Shanhai Literature?”
Huang Yanming did not answer, but curiously asked about Shanhai Literature.
Su Chengyang said:”Shanhai Literature is a company established by the company to focus on online literature. It already has several original literature websites such as Xiaoxiang, Xiaoshuo Reading, Motie, Rongshuxia, etc….”
A hint of shock flashed in Huang Yanming’s eyes.
As a professional in online literature, especially for women’s literature, Huang Yanming did not expect that Su Chengyang had already taken over well-known novel websites such as Xiaoxiang, Xiaoshuo Reading, and Rongshuxia. Especially the first two, they can be said to be the top three in women’s literature, second only to Hongxiutianxiang.
In other words, half of the women’s literature has been taken over by Su Chengyang.
Huang Yanming took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and lowered her head to think.
Before, she didn’t care about 5% of the shares, but now after hearing what Su Chengyang said and seeing the strength of Shanhai Literature, Huang Yanming thought about the gains and losses.
Su Chengyang didn’t urge him. This was already his biggest concession. If it still didn’t work, Su Chengyang would have to take over the 50% of Jinjiang Literature shares in Yuewen first, and then spend money to buy the copyrights one by one.
“Mr. Su, I need to discuss this matter with my husband before I can make a decision. After thinking for a while, Huang Yanming looked up at Su Chengyang and said
“Can~~”
“Mr. Huang can contact me now. I can wait for another half an hour.”
He said, reaching out to pick up the water cup on the table and started drinking.
Seeing this, Huang Yanming stood up, picked up his phone, and left the office.
Ten minutes later,
Huang Yanming walked in.
“Mr. Su, we agree to your conditions.”
“oh~~”Su Chengyang smiled faintly, stood up, stretched out his hand and said with a smile:”Welcome Mr. Huang.”
Huang Yanming also smiled and shook hands.
The next step was to sign the contract. In order to avoid any more trouble, and since this place was not far from Shanhai Building, Su Chengyang made a phone call. In less than fifteen minutes, people from the legal department and the financial department arrived one after another. The contract was quickly drafted, and Huang Yanming’s husband also came to the company.
·· ·········Request flowers··· ········
The two parties signed the contract.
The funds will be transferred to the accounts of the two people within three working days. As for the employment contract, it will be signed after the transaction is completely completed and Jin Jiang moves into Shanhai Building, but it is already a sure thing.
After winning Jin Jiang, Su Chengyang was in a good mood.
On the same day, he invited everyone from Jin Jiang to a party and dinner.
More than a dozen employees of Jinjiang Literature were very happy after learning that the company was acquired by Oasis Capital and incorporated into the Shanhai Literature system, and their salary and benefits increased by 10%.
No one does not want to rely on a big company.
Although they have not heard of Shanhai Literature, they have heard of Oasis Capital. It is an international venture capital institution, and Su Chengyang is worth tens of billions of RMB. He is already the richest man in Longguo, but Forbes and other magazines have not yet ranked him.
Three days later, 10 million yuan was transferred to the accounts of Huang Yanming and his wife.
At the same time, Lin Haishen also brought good news. Under the continuous increase in price, Shengda, the former richest man in Longguo, finally agreed to sell Shengda Literature for 800 million yuan.
Shengda Literature owns Qidian Chinese, Hongxiu Tianxiang, Romance Novel Ba and 50% of Jin Jiang, all of which have been transferred to Shanhai Literature. Since Shanhai Literature, a company that was registered less than five days ago, has relied on its wealth and continuous mergers and acquisitions to become the leader in the online literature industry, occupying more than 70% of the market.
For a time, the entire online literature industry was shocked.
“Wow, the world has changed when I woke up”
“What is the origin of this mountain and sea literature? Why haven’t I heard of it before?”
���Reply to the above, this Shanhai Literature has a great background. The parent company of this company is Oasis Capital, and the boss of Oasis Capital is Su Chengyang, who is the richest man in China”
…….. 0 0
…….. 0 0
“I see. Wow, he is so rich that he acquired Shengda Literature without blinking an eye. So cool!”
“By the way, the guy above, how do you know that the person didn’t blink? What if he did blink?”
“……”
As the news spread, when someone broke the news that the big boss of Shanhai Literature had opened an account on Weibo, everyone flocked to Weibo, followed Su Chengyang’s Weibo, and left various messages below.
However, as the person involved, Su Chengyang had no time to check Weibo at the moment.
After taking over Shengda Literature.
Su Chengyang met with Wu Wenhui, Hou Xiaoqiang and others at Shanhai Building. Shanhai Building.
Eighth floor.
Shanhai Literature Company Meeting Room.
Seeing the anxious looks of Wu Wenhui and others, Su Chengyang smiled and said,”Everyone relax, I invited you here today because I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you.”
“First of all, I can tell you clearly that your positions will not change. You have all been deeply involved in the field of online literature for many years. I hope to stay and help Shanhai Literature go further.”
Looking at Wu Wenhui and others who were obviously relieved, Su Chengyang smiled and said,”Hollywood in the United States exports culture. I also hope that one day, our Dragon Country’s online literature can go overseas, be exported to the United States, and even the world, just like Hollywood movies.”
“To achieve this goal, we still need a few people.”
Su Chengyang has made it clear that he will not start a new job. Wu Wenhui and others naturally have no objection to Su Chengyang. Besides, they have worked so hard in Singularity, and they don’t want to leave unless it is absolutely necessary.
Moreover, Su Chengyang proposed to export online literature abroad, which coincides with their ideas.
“Chairman, rest assured, we will do our best.”Wu Wenhui was the first to express his opinion.
Hou Xiaoqiang and others also expressed their opinions.
“With the addition of several people, Shanhai Literature will be even more powerful.”Su Chengyang praised.
Several people hurriedly said modestly.
The atmosphere became lively.
Su Chengyang also put forward requirements for Shanhai Literature.
For key works, such as Ghost Blows Out the Light, Grave Robbers’ Chronicles, and fantasy masterpieces, the copyrights are temporarily sold to the outside world with U coins, and purchased by Shanhai Group or investment companies, and the price is negotiated with each other.
Su Chengyang is worried that many high-quality copyrights will be sold at low prices like in his previous life. For example, a certain Ghost Blows Out the Light, film and television copyright, was only sold for 2 million yuan, which is simply too cheap. In his opinion, it is not excessive to sell it for 10 million or even 100 million.
The second is the issue of cracking down on piracy.
This problem is very serious. It has completely affected the development of the online novel industry.
Hearing Su Chengyang say that he wants to crack down on the novel piracy industry, Wu Wenhui and others showed difficulty
“What’s wrong? Are you having any difficulties?”Su Chengyang frowned. Wu
Wenhui nodded and said,”To be honest with the chairman, piracy is indeed a big problem. The cost of piracy is low. You can set up a pirated website with just a few hundred dollars. Most of the servers of these websites are located abroad, so it is very difficult to crack down on them.”
“Yeah?”
“I don’t think so.”
Su Chengyang looked at them sharply and said in a deep voice:”I heard that the reason why there are so many pirated novel websites on the Internet is because someone inside helped and gave them benefits?” Several people’s faces changed drastically. Xiaoxiao.
