Buy my company?
Who is Xu Hong?
At first, Lu Yuan thought the name was familiar, but he couldn't remember who this person was...
Later, when Lu Yuan checked the list of China's richest people on the Internet, he suddenly realized it.
This person is a very powerful restaurant tycoon, the richest man in China. His "Atlanta" high-end restaurant chain is spread all over the country, and there are even many "Atlanta" restaurants in the United States. Of course, his other industries are also very extensive, but basically they are all based on the restaurant industry...
When seeing this, Lu Yuan suddenly thought of his father's book "Biography of Xu Hong".
He now knew what that familiar feeling meant.
Xu Hong?
Isn’t Xu Hong the idol that my father always admired when I was a child?
My father often used Xu Hong's childhood stories to educate me, saying that only by enduring hardships can one become a superior person, and that one should be modest and calm in doing things...
All right!
Eighty percent of the principles that Lu Yuan's father taught Lu Yuan came from "The Biography of Xu Hong".
This person took 30 percent of Joaquin's shares?
He is going to enter the entertainment industry. Judging from the situation, is he planning to make a big splash?
So the new person in charge of Joaquin and the person who plans to acquire my "remote" company is Xu Hong?
Lu Yuan touched his chin and then looked at the night scene outside the window.
The voice of Xu Hong on the phone echoed in his mind.
Xu Hong's voice sounded very domineering, and at the same time mixed with an unquestionable attitude.
I have to admit that this person has a very strong aura.
At the same time, the price offered also stunned Lu Yuan.
Two billion to acquire my "remote"?
Two billion!
This is so fucking awesome!
To be honest, Lu Yuan was really tempted. As long as he signed a contract and then changed hands, he would have an extra 2 billion RMB in his pocket.
This is a big deal, and it's a sure win.
It's really hard to refuse.
Of course, if it were the Lu Yuan of the past, he would have sold it without a second thought or even hesitation when he saw the 2 billion.
But now…
Lu Yuan can't sell it.
At least, selling the entire company as a package is impossible.
To some extent, "remote" is no longer just Lu Yuan's "remote".
To put it in a more literary way, remoteness at this moment is remoteness for everyone.
But two billion is a number that is hard to resist.
He hesitated for a while, and finally shook his head.
Let’s talk about it tomorrow if we have anything to say.
…
Joaquin.
night.
This day was destined to be a sleepless night for Joaquin.
When Xu Hong announced his entry into Joaquin Phoenix, all the employees in Joaquin Phoenix looked uneasy.
A new official starts with three things.
No one knew that Xu Hong, who had been a big shot in the catering industry, would suddenly become the helmsman of Joaquin. Of course, no one knew what kind of reforms Xu Hong would make to Joaquin after becoming the helmsman...
but……
Many things are bound to change.
This is inevitable, after all, everyone saw what Xu Hong said on the headlines.
He can even talk about his "lofty ambition" to become the number one in the Chinese entertainment industry, and even express his hope to invite someone like Lu Yuan to come to Huajin to serve as a manager!
The tone was so wild that it was shocking.
Would a person like Lu Yuan come?
What a joke!
However, this also shows from some aspects that Joaquin, the new helmsman, will make drastic changes.
"It's time for a meeting!"
"Yes, the meeting is about to start. Come here, everyone, the meeting is about to start!"
"Everyone come to the meeting, President Xu has something to say..."
“…”
Starting at nine o'clock in the evening, the entire Joaquin Building was lit up all night.
Joaquin's numerous managers, both big and small, including directors and agents, were called to the company for a meeting.
The meeting lasted until five o'clock the next morning.
Most people came out with panda eyes, but their expressions looked extremely excited.
In particular, Han Lu and Wei Lai's agents were all smiles and couldn't wait to call the two of them immediately.
There was a lot of content in this meeting.
But there is only one thing that really goes deep!
That is, after market research and data analysis from all aspects, Xu Hong finally came to the conclusion that the Internet era has arrived.
What does the advent of the Internet age indicate?
It means innovation and traffic is king.
What kind of artists attract the most traffic?
Is there any need to ask?
Naturally, it's the little fresh meat and the little fairy...
Therefore, Xu Hong felt that what Joaquin should do now is to find a way to make Han Lu and Wei Lai famous.
Although Han Lu's "City Fortress" was a complete failure and was in a very bad situation for a while, Xu Hong felt that the failure of "City Fortress" had something to do with the movie script, not Han Lu. Han Lu should make movies that suit him...
Well, if an actor plays the wrong role in a movie, how can the box office be good?
Are you kidding me?
Han Lu and others should just act in idol dramas properly.
Aren’t those Korean youth idol dramas very popular?
Xu Hong believes that suitable artists should be placed in suitable positions!
Anyway, in the morning, when Han Lu, Wei Lai and other young talents learned that the company would invest a large amount of money to train them, they were extremely excited!
Even when their agent told them that they would most likely become superstars in the future, they were so excited that they didn’t even sleep and rushed to the company to thank the new boss…
Of course, the new generation of Joaquin artists are excited.
But for Chen Feng it felt like a bolt from the blue.
At noon, when everyone had their own plans, but Chen Feng had no notice at all, he really felt strange.
Then, when Chen Feng came to the company and wanted to inquire about the company's contract renewal, he never received a response.
He felt very strange, and when he found his supervisor, he saw that his supervisor had a strange expression on his face.
"Brother Chen..."
"What's wrong?"
"Brother Chen, the company has actually considered renewing your contract, but we hope that you can make a slight transformation... Through this transformation, the company hopes to regain some of your attention and popularity."
"Transformation?" Chen Feng frowned. He could hear something was wrong.
"Brother Chen, Mr. Xu and the management think that you are... a little old. Plus, your last album was a bit of a failure, which hit your popularity quite a bit. The company is actually considering this aspect as well. According to Mr. Xu, he hopes that you can let go of your past glory and start over... Well, in fact, it's just a supporting role."
"Tell me, how does the company arrange it?"
"The company and Southern TV jointly created a program called "We Are Singers"..."
"That's no problem. After all, I'm also a fan of The Voice of China..."
"This time the contestant is... well, the only special one, an older contestant. Through the contrast, we can create attention, and also the ratings... This should be good for you."
"What? I'm going to be a contestant! What about the judges?"
"Wei Lai and the others..."
"What! Are you fucking crazy? The judge is Wei Lai? Wei Lai is commenting on me? What a joke! He's using his lisp and sissy voice to comment on me?"
"Brother Chen, calm down a bit. The company is discussing this with you. In fact, you should know that this is the Internet age. No one wants to be left behind by this era, right? Why does Lu Yuan often hype things up? He has grasped the true meaning of the Internet age! Besides, Brother Chen, didn't you always want to make the headlines but couldn't? I believe you should know why... You need to take shortcuts. You need hype!"
"Bullshit!" Chen Feng's face turned red, his chest kept rising and falling, and he was even gasping for breath.
"Brother Chen, I think you should consider it... Actually... This isn't a bad idea, after all, you are old..."
"If Lu Yuan is the judge, I have no problem with it. However, you let Wei Lai, a person whose first album I don't even know what is in it, to be the judge and judge me. What does this mean? Is it hype? I, Chen Feng, don't need such hype, and I won't be a supporting role like this!" Chen Feng stared at all the responsible persons, very angry.
"Brother Chen, this is what the company wants. The company hopes you can obey. Otherwise, the company will not renew your contract..."
"Okay, okay, okay! If you don't renew the contract, then I won't renew it. Damn it! I won't do it anymore!"
Chen Feng stared angrily at everyone in the company, then turned and left.
Not long after he turned and left, Xu Hong walked out of the office.
"Mr. Xu, should we treat Brother Chen like this? After all, he is a veteran singer, he..."
"Isn't the company going to reform? That's just right, he happens to be an example, a veteran singer? What use is there to a has-been singer who doesn't even obey the company's arrangements to the company? Our Joaquin only needs to obey, only needs one voice." Xu Hong smiled, "Since he doesn't want to renew the contract, then there's no need to renew it... He doesn't want to take the path arranged for him, and he still clings to the old stubborn things, rock? Is rock something he can play? He's already this old, and he still clings to rock all day long, what's the use..."
"Mr. Xu, I understand."
"Well, I understand."
Xu Hong narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction where Chen Feng left.
The expression was very cold.
Old things will eventually be eliminated and replaced by new things. If you can't catch up with the new things...
So, what are you worth?
Not renewing the contract?
Just right!
Joaquin only wants the elites, not the dregs!
…
remote.
"Ayuan, I'm sorry. I used to use books by people like this to educate you. Now I think it's ridiculous... Later, after chatting with your uncle Chen, I found out that there were many secrets behind Xu Hong's inspirational attitude. It turns out that he married a good wife..." Lu Shuren was sitting opposite Lu Yuan. After seeing his son, his expression was a little complicated.
In the trash can at his feet was a torn copy of "Biography of Xu Hong".
He is very disappointed!
Yes!
Behind the chicken soup for the soul, there is such absurdity.
Xu Hong was indeed poor once, but he married two wives.
One of them was the daughter of a former fishing tycoon. After the divorce, she immediately opened "Yacheng". Then she married the daughter of Liu Hong, who is now a senior executive of Sohu.com...
Then……
Xu Hong's fate changed.
It’s never been about the bullshit like what’s written in the books about working hard, being appreciated, and then working together!
He felt he was cheated!
Lu Shuren felt that his idol image had collapsed.
"Which Uncle Chen?" Lu Yuan was surprised.
"Chen Jianming, Chen Cong's father, didn't you and Chen Cong cooperate to create a live broadcast platform?"
"oh oh."
"We talked all night and finally reached a certain level of cooperation..." Lu Shuren laughed after taking a sip of tea.
"Dad, this is good."
"Ayuan, I heard that Xu Hong called you and said provocatively that he wanted to acquire your company?"
"Yes, it was indeed said that 2 billion would be used to acquire our company and team."
"Twenty billion, this is very tempting, but it's a pity that this should just be a provocation or a show of force from Xu Hong..." Lu Shuren was silent for a while, then sighed.
"Yeah, if that's the case, I'm almost overwhelmed. Well, when I think about my team who have been following me from the beginning, I know I can't make this deal. Otherwise, I might have sold the company."
"Ayuan... let me see your company's employee contract. Maybe, with a little bit of acting, this deal can be done. And... Yuanyuan, do you also need to have your own commercial building? Although this is Hangzhou, it is... not Yanjing after all..."
"Huh? Dad, what do you mean..." After seeing his father suddenly narrow his eyes, Lu Yuan was stunned, and then suddenly he understood.
"You understand?"
“I seem to understand.”
"Hahaha!"
