Chapter 352: Leave
The abnormality of the commercial street was soon noticed by Meng Huo.
A few days before he came to Suhua City, he was busy meeting with all kinds of 'big names', of course, he couldn't leave out the businesses on the streets of Comic Island, Meng Huo wanted to get along with them, but he found that the shelves of these merchants were even more powerful than the officials of Suhua City Government, and he was invited several times, but he ignored him.
"I didn't think I could instruct them, but isn't that too cold?"
Meng Shu was a little unhappy, and he didn't respond politely to those merchants who kindly invited them, these people are too arrogant, right? In this way, not to mention helping to develop this island, they are simply some time bombs, and it would be good not to drag the Phoenix Company back.
He also asked people to investigate the situation, and it turned out that although these chain stores opened new stores on Manga Island, their reasons were all required by the headquarters. Although the headquarters of these companies asked to build a new store on Manga Island, the reason was not fully communicated to the employees, and the person in charge of the store who came to the island was dissatisfied.
In fact, the logic is very simple, if you work hard to rise to the manager level, and finally get the qualification to open a new store, just when you are rejoicing. As a result, according to the instructions of the headquarters, when you get to the address, it turns out to be a small island with few people, then you will definitely be very unhappy.
"It's deliberate......"
Meng Yu thought in distress, he was sure that this was the Meng family's intention, and it was impossible for them not to detect such a big loophole. Regardless of whether this was to test him or something, Meng Shu felt that the Meng family was really doing something extraordinary. He didn't ask them to do it, it's better to make a contradictory state like this now, it's better not to do it in the first place, these chains are really that charming? I don't think the flow of people has increased much!
And it's easy to please God, but it's hard to send God. Now these stores have settled down. Even if you want them to leave, it's not easy.
"Trouble is dead!"
Meng Shu rubbed his eyebrows. There was a headache, and at this moment, Alice knocked on the door and walked in.
"I'm almost negotiating with Seagull Animation, and their offer is four million, and all but a few founders will be incorporated into our company."
Alice put a report on Meng Shu's desk, and Seagull Animation was the animation company she said she wanted to buy. The company was on the verge of bankruptcy, and it would be nice if someone was willing to take it. But several founders still wanted to sell it for a good price, and four million was the result of a few days of talks between the two sides.
"Did they settle their debts?"
Meng Shu asked as he flipped through the report.
"Yes, the total debt is 1.5 million, and we have to repay these debts after we buy it, which is equivalent to the purchase price of 5.5 million." Alice nodded and replied, "But I've seen their animation works, and the artists are all good, so the price is not too expensive." ”
The report clearly stated the situation of the seagull animation, and Meng Xu flipped through a few pages and felt that there was no problem.
"Okay. We want to pursue speed, so we will proceed at this purchase price. He put down the report. Just as he was about to continue talking, he suddenly heard another knock at the door, and a secretary came in and said, "General Manager, several people in charge of Universal Cinema and Sogo Restaurant, as well as Corning Apparel want to see you." ”
Meng Huo's position here is the general manager, although the core management of Phoenix Company has come to Comic Island, which has developed towards the actual headquarters, but before Comic Island really develops and grows, Phoenix Company will not announce the reorganization of personnel to the outside world, the chairman is still in Ninghai, and Suhua's here is just a branch.
"Universal Cinema and Sogo Restaurant?"
Hearing the secretary's words, Meng Shu was stunned for a moment, and then a little happy, those guys finally accepted the invitation. He led Alice towards the conference room, where there were five or six men and women, but when Meng Shu greeted them, he was sensitive to the fact that these people were very unimpressed with him.
"I'm Zhang De, the person in charge of Universal Cinema, what a pity teacher, I'll tell you straightforwardly, I hope you can take over our theater."
Soon after he sat down, a middle-aged man spoke in surprise.
Meng Shu was stunned, what is the situation: "What did you say about taking over?" ”
"To take over is to accept the facilities and site ......of the theater after we leave," the man said indifferently, "we can't do it here, but the theater lease contract is set for ten years, and I hope that Phoenix will agree to take over these contracts so that our company can get out of the way." ”
"You're leaving Comic Island?" Meng Shu frowned slightly.
"Yes, how can you do it if you don't leave, there are too few guests here, and there is no potential for development at all." The man nodded and said, "Especially our theater, which has been open for a few months and has less than one-twentieth of the occupancy. Movies are different from consumer goods, in a similar environment, audiences are looking for low ticket prices, and there are several low-cost movie theaters in college towns, and we have no hope here. ”
He paused and added, "So we're ready to give up here." ”
"Wait!" Alice interrupted in a cold voice: "What does giving up here have to do with our company, why do you want us to take over?" ”
"There's no one else but you." The man's expression was cold, and he said, "We are all doing loss-making business, and only you really want to develop here." Don't say you don't know, you must have some means to pull us over, and of course you have to bear this responsibility. The current situation is that we don't see any hope for the development of Manga Island, and the head office has agreed to let us go, and I hope you can help me reduce my losses. ”
"Are you too?"
Meng looked at the others.
"This ......"
"We'll wait and see."
Several of the other responsible persons replied, but judging by their expressions, they all seemed to have the idea of leaving.
――――
Su Hua, in an office, a middle-aged woman is watering a pot of flowers.
"Universal Cinema wants to leave Comic Island, the land is ours, and the request I gave them was to find another company to take over." While watering the flowers, she said: "The other companies on the comic island will not expand again, so Universal Cinema can only go to the Phoenix Company, guess how the little master can stop them?" ”
After watering the flowers, she turned to the two young men sitting on the sofa and smiled: "He can't agree, as long as Universal Cinema leaves, other companies will set off a wave of leaving when they see this situation...... The resources we pulled over may disappear all of a sudden, and as the person in charge of Phoenix Company, the little young master definitely doesn't want to lose these chain stores. ”
On the sofa, the young man suddenly sneered: "Auntie, did you mean it." If you say to the manager of Universal Cinema, this can't happen, right? ”
"Actually, it's so troublesome." The young woman followed and said, "As long as you tell the little young master about it, those companies won't have to stay there with a dead face...... Aunt Liu, you pulled those companies over, you told the old lady at the time that it was for the good of the young master, but now you tempt them to leave, how do I feel that you are deliberately targeting the young master? ”
The middle-aged woman put down the watering can and smiled.
"Not divulging his news is what the old lady said, and ...... I'm not targeting the little master, just a little ...... I'm just curious. ”
"Curious?" The young man frowned: "If this matter is known to the old lady, aren't you afraid that she will be angry?" ”
"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid!"
The woman nodded, then shook her head again and said, "But you underestimate the old lady too much, can I hide what I did from her?" She didn't come out to stop it, she just acquiesced in this practice...... The little master is very important to us, but it is not particularly critical to those in the outer circle, and the people in the outer circle can't make any big waves, but it is of course best if they can calm down as soon as possible. ”
Any capital group in China has a core group inside and outside the circle, and the same is true for the Meng family, in the sub-core group outside the core group, many people are ambitious to separate from the Meng family. But is separation really appropriate? Only the most core people know that in today's China, several major capital groups represent the government, and they monopolize all walks of life and control the distribution of wealth.
And once a powerful group splits, it will be immediately sniped and divided by other groups, and it will never reappear. If the Meng family splits, then the forces of the Meng family will have to fight separately, join other groups or survive secretly, although from an individual point of view, the power becomes freer, but the status has plummeted.
With the Meng family's coat on his body, this group has not dispersed, then they are all the masters of the Chinese economy.
"The old lady believes in the talent of the little young master, of course we are here, it doesn't matter if he is talented or not......," the woman paused, and said: "But if he has the ability to show it a little, assuming that he can control the chain stores on the comic island, or develop the comic island, this achievement can at least put an end to the ambition of some people." ”
"The economy is the battlefield, and our Meng family has developed until now because we will strangle them when the risks are still small." The woman's eyes flashed, and she said, "If the young master doesn't have the strength, we just want to clean the group as soon as possible, but in this way, he will have to become a vase......"
Before she could finish speaking, all of a sudden, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." The woman turned her head and looked at the secretary who walked in from the outside: "What's wrong?" ”
"Chairman ......" The secretary looked respectful and said: "Just now there is news from the comic island, Phoenix Company has agreed to accept the venue and facilities of the Universal Theater, not only that......" He paused and said: "It's a pity that the teacher also told the others that they are welcome to leave the comic island together." ”
The woman was stunned.
"Aunt Liu, you have done so many ......" The young woman suddenly giggled: "But the little young master doesn't take those shops to heart at all, you miscalculated." (To be continued......)
