Chapter 177： Pearson Education Group

"Fuck!"

Xia Yu applauded with satisfaction.

Gavin Peter did not let him down. Although he said that, the reason is actually very simple. If others say that, Xia Yu would not pay too much attention to it, but now it is Gavin Peter. It's a different story.

Now Gavin Peter is just a deputy manager of the Xiangjiang branch of Penguin Publishing Group. He hasn't made some dazzling results, and he has not been favored by the head office.

But with the memory of later generations, Xia Yu knows the greatness of Gavin Peter.

He is a master of acquisitions, he likes to initiate acquisitions, and after the acquisition of the company, the company can show its due value and will not be buried in his hands.

He later served as the president of Penguin Publishing Group, and worked until Xia Yu crossed. He was the president of the group for decades, and he was very capable.

Many people may not be familiar with Penguin Publishing Group, but it is definitely not unfamiliar to talk about its background.

Penguin Publishing Group is a subsidiary of Pearson, the world's leading education publishing group company, ranking first in the world.

If you have heard the name Pearson, but his other name is Pearson Education Group, many people have definitely heard of it.

Longman, a household name in China, is a subsidiary of Pearson Education Group in China. Many people should have studied and used "New Concept English" and "Longman Dictionary of Modern English".

In addition, as the world's largest education publishing group, Pearson Education Group also has two major financial newspapers, the Financial Times and The Economist!

Yan Wenhan had previously worked in the "Financial Times" for four years.

The Economist, along with Fortune, Forbes, and Business Week, is called the four kings of financial magazines.

In the hands of Gavin Peter, Penguin Publishing Group has developed into the tenth largest multinational company in the world media industry, and is also the world's most famous English book publisher, mainly publishing novels and non-fiction works, as well as children's books, and books in print Up to 25,000 species.

In addition, the most interesting is the series of acquisition cases he led. He has a unique vision. Each acquisition has played an important role in reinforcing the Penguin Publishing Group. After the acquisition, those acquired companies are not Will be negatively affected and still able to develop at a high speed.

In his previous life, two of the acquisition cases he led were the most dazzling. Together they acquired the famous Putnam Company of the United States, making Penguin Putnam Company the second largest English book publisher in the world.

And the first one is Penguin Publishing Group.

Therefore, the first and the second are all in the bag, not the cow.

The second was the acquisition of Dolin Kindersley in 2000. This company is a well-known British publisher of non-fiction graphic books. With the goal of "knowledge affinity", color books were expanded to include reference books and Life, art, travel, gardening, cooking, preschool education and other non-literary books. Its publishing style with both pictures and texts has influenced the world publishing industry. It publishes travel notes, popular science and encyclopedia reading materials, practical books for daily life, children's books, etc. which are sold worldwide.

After this acquisition, Penguin Publishing Group's publishing business covers all kinds of books, and its publishing and distribution network spreads all over the world, which has established its dominant position in the publishing industry, and its influence is amazing!

It can be said that Gavin Peter contributed a lot to Penguin Publishing Group's achievements!

However, it is 1978, and Pearson Education Group has just acquired Penguin Publishing Group a few years ago, and Gavin Peter has not been unearthed, causing him to run in front of Xia Yu.

If in a few more years, when he becomes successful, he becomes the president of Penguin Publishing Group. At that time, Xia Yu wants to dig people, let alone doors, even windows.

Gavin Peter is now forty years old, and he has the abilities he should have. There is only a glimmer of opportunity, a carp and a dragon!

But in this life, Xia Yu wants him to degenerate in Jiuding Book Publishing Company and lead the company to develop into a world-renowned publishing company.

"I totally agree with your salary requirements, and if you develop the company to my satisfaction, you have a great chance of getting equity rewards, but how much you can get depends on how much you can achieve!"

"Besides, I give you the greatest power in the management of the company. Unless you make a major mistake, I will not interfere with your business easily."

Xia Yu looked at him solemnly, and said categorically.

After all, looking at him expectantly, Xia Yu believes that Gavin Peter should not refuse. After all, money and power are given to him. Not only is the future promising, but there is also a place for him to display his talents, as long as he is not stupid. , Will definitely agree.

Sure enough, as expected by Xia Yu, Gavin Peter was a bit stunned. After all, this interview was a bit sloppy. He only asked two questions and agreed on the spot. He was not asked to go back and wait for the news, but he quickly recovered. , Showing a smile.

He stood up, bowed slightly to Xia Yu, respectfully said: "Boss, I will not let you down!"

"You are welcome to join!"

Xia Yu said with a smile, and then stretched out his hand.

"Thank you!" Gavin Peter also stretched out his hand and held Xia Yu together, and said solemnly.

After the interview was successful, Xia Yu took him to the company and signed a contract. After he let him handle his own affairs, he could report to the company and be responsible for the establishment of Jiuding Book Publishing Company.

As for the remaining two talents, out of politeness, even though Xia Yu had already recruited, he still notified them and asked if he would like to be the deputy manager. Unfortunately, they were both unwilling, and Xia Yu had nothing to do.

But with one of the most powerful ones, Xia Yu is already fully rewarded!

With the arrival of a big cow, the future of Jiuding Book Publishing Company can be expected, and Xia Yu can also breathe a sigh of relief.

Next, I just hope that the talents Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. needs will come quickly.

...

After returning home in the evening, Xia Yu rarely sat on the sofa to watch TV with his family. It was TVB's Jade Channel.

This time is the golden viewing period, and TVB's main drama is broadcast, and the family watched it with gusto.

Only soon, the episode ended, followed by an advertisement.

When he saw this advertisement, Xia Yu was taken aback, and it turned out to be an advertisement for Xiangjiang Ocean Park. He didn't expect that Ocean Park would be bothered to advertise. It was interesting.

"Wow, it's Ocean Park. I heard from my classmate Wenli that there are a lot of fun in it. Not only can you see all kinds of marine and land animals, there is also a huge amusement park, and it's so beautiful on TV!"

Looking at the bird's-eye view video shot on TV and the fine-cut picture, Xia Xiaomei couldn't help but said, with some longing in her eyes.

"There should be sharks and whales in the ocean park, don't you know how many species are there?"

Xia Ming also said that he had never been to sea with his parents, and occasionally saw a whale stranded on the beach so he didn't know many fish.

Looking at Yan Hong again, although he didn't say a word, his eyes also showed longing.

Xia Yu smiled slightly and said, "Then I will take you to play this Saturday, do you want to go?"

"really?"

The three children looked at Xia Yu together, blinked and asked.

"Really!"

Xia Yu smiled and nodded.

"Oye, brother is so nice!"

"awesome!"

The three children couldn't help cheering, with excited smiles on their faces.

Seeing their excitement, Xia Yu seemed to be infected and laughed silently.
