Chapter 317: The Foundation of Myriad Industries
Li Wen was a little uncomfortable with Li Xiangyang's attentiveness at first, but when he looked back, he felt relieved.
Li Xiangyang is just a small editor at Sing Tao Daily, and his monthly salary is only three to four hundred yuan at most.
As for Li Wen, Li Xiangyang is directly beaten by his performance in novels and newspapers.
In 1966, the total daily newspaper sales in Hong Kong was only one million copies. The sales volume of Daqin Daily's 130,000 copies can be said to have caused a huge sensation.
"This Mainland boy, Baguan! As long as the sales volume continues to be stable at this level, another newspaper tycoon will rise in Hong Kong."
“Young guy is awesome!”
“Incredible!”
"…………"
At this time, in Hu Xian'er's office of Sing Tao Daily, a deputy editor and minority shareholder said angrily: "Dr. Hu, you look at this kid, he is so arrogant.
After earning enough fame in our Sing Tao Daily, he turned around and established a newspaper to oppose us.
If it doesn’t work, will the subsequent royalties of this guy’s two physical books be suppressed, as well as his self-financed book?”
Hu Xianer stared at the Daqin Daily in her hand and didn't say a word for a long time.
"Dr. Hu, what are you doing reading that guy's newspaper? Could you please say something?" the deputy editor asked again hurriedly.
Hu Xianer slowly raised his head at this time and looked at the big rubber ball in front of him, which was 1.6 meters tall and weighed 250. He said: Then Editor-in-Chief You, give me a plan? You are also the editor-in-chief of our newspaper, and you are also a shareholder! "
The chubby Editor You bit his gums in anger when he saw Hu Xianer answering him like this.
"You, is this the attitude you should have as a chairman? Believe it or not, I will convene a shareholders' meeting to discuss it." Editor You looked threatening.
"Don't always use the shareholders' meeting to bully me. Do you really think I'm afraid of you?
If you hadn't worked with my father for many years, I would have left you long ago." Although Hu Xianer is only in her thirties now, she has a full professional LinkedIn profile.
The Sing Tao Newspaper that Hu Xian'er took over was not just the Sing Tao Newspaper in Xiangdao, but a huge newspaper company covering the entire Southeast Asian region. There were even several strongholds in distant South America and Europe.
Many old employees and shareholders of Xiangdao Newspaper were left behind by Hu Xianer’s father’s generation.
These dozen people account for more than 60% of the shares of Sing Tao Daily. Although Hu Xian'er is the major shareholder with 38%, they are still constrained.
Just now, Hu Xian'er said that it is entirely possible to get rid of other shareholders, but the consequence of that would be that Sing Tao Daily will suffer a huge loss of vitality.
"Although this Li Wen is a loser, the two books he published in our newspaper were both hits, adding 30,000 to 40,000 copies to the newspaper's sales.
As for the book he is going to publish, we have already printed it for him. The editorial department has collectively discussed that it will definitely be a big seller.
Although the profit is only 30%, we only provide channels and publicity fees, but he wants to publish it globally! It will definitely make a lot of money.
If you tell me now that his royalties will be deducted, do you believe it? His books will be snatched away by other publishers immediately.
There are not many other companies in Hong Kong, but publishers are taking advantage of them, and there are also many who have the ability and channels to publish globally.
Do you want to be a fool and give the fat you got to others?
Besides, that bad boy Li Wen now owns a newspaper. If we do this, do you believe it? Tomorrow everyone in Hong Kong will know that Sing Tao Newspaper is unreliable." Hu Xian'er didn't say anything. When she spoke, Deputy Editor You was touched.
Face flushed.
"This, this! My eldest niece, my uncle was impulsive and apologized to you just now, so what do you think we should do now?" Fatty You also couldn't do anything, so he just gave up. Who made Hu Xianer better than them in making money!
"What should I do? Doesn't he have the Lion's Awakening column in front of him? You can see if you can discredit him here.
Also, their Daqin Daily newspaper updates seven or eight thousand words at a time. A newspaper only has four pages in total, and the novel only takes up one side. You can also hack him from here.
Finally, we will find some hotshots, visit some martial arts schools, and write a few stories about ghosts, ghosts, and snakes.
How many newspapers does our Xingdao have, but how many Daqin Daily newspapers does he have?" Hu Xianer said with a charming smile.
"Ouch! Look, I was confused for a moment. Thanks to my eldest niece for reminding me, I'm going to go out and get busy." Fatty You is most afraid of Hu Xian'er laughing like this. This is not a good sign. If a disaster is coming, run away quickly.
"Hmph! A bunch of old losers, sooner or later you will be kicked out." Hu Xianer looked at Fatty You and cursed through gritted teeth.
At the Ming Pao headquarters, Shen Xinbao and Zha Jinyong were sitting in the office drinking tea.
"Old scumbag, it looks like the Daqin Daily News is coming with a lot of force this time! There are many people in your family over there in the mainland, do you know the details of that little guy?
Don't be red, then we can't afford to mess with it. Then we won't be able to eat meat and we'll be in trouble." Shen Xinbao asked, putting down the tea cup in his hand.
"Old Shen drinks tea! He is already in his forties or fifties. As for being afraid of a child?
In the past few years, Mingpao has stabilized and found its own direction. All we need to do is continue to work in the areas we are familiar with.
The market is endless, and neither Daxia nor the Governor of Xiangdao will allow one newspaper to monopolize it." Zha Jinyong smiled and poured Shen Xinbao a cup of tea.
"Yes, I saw that there is all kinds of information in the boy's rhythm news, it is miscellaneous and multifarious, as if it is preparing for civilian development.
Since you said so, old scumbag, I won't worry about it, but it's better to check if there is any background.
And old scumbag, please update more when you can write now! This guy's writing skills are no less sophisticated than yours, and the key is that he has a lot to control!" Shen Xinbao looked at the scumbag Jinyong opposite him teasingly. .
"Old Shen, please spare my old bones! I am already in my forties and almost fifty, how can I compare with a young man who is less than twenty years old?
But this Daqin Daily is really great, I will try my best from now on! Try to maintain three thousand words a day, this is the maximum, if there is more, I will have no choice but to give up." Looking at Shen Xinbao's aggrieved eyes, Zha Jinyong could only nod helplessly. Yes.
If Li Wen were here, he would definitely give Zha Jinyong a big compliment. What Li Wen needs to learn is the future direction of Oriental Daily, which is to become a civilian.
The Oriental Daily, founded in 1969, took this into consideration, being close to people's livelihood and close to the general public. As a result, the latecomers overtook the industry and became an industry giant in Hong Kong. This was because the Ma family had a black social background and was suppressed a lot. Otherwise, it would have been suppressed a lot. It will be more terrifying.
Therefore, Li Wen also wants to make things for the common people in this life, because the more common people are, the more inconspicuous they are and the more money they make.
Just like the farmer Sanquan in later generations, he earned the title of the richest man by relying on a small bottle of water. Not only because of its wide popularity, one person in the country drinks one bottle a day and it costs billions.
After a week of vigorous publicity and rapid development, Daqin Daily finally balanced its sales volume, reaching 160,000 copies.
Although there is still some distance from the results that Li Wen wants, this share already ranks first in Hong Kong.
Because the original star newspaper Ming Pao only sold 120,000 copies a day. Sing Tao Daily only sold about 100,000 copies, but the Nanyang newspaper Li Wen still couldn't compare.
"It's done, Daqin Daily has finally established a foothold in Xiangdao." In the office, Li Wen also clasped his hands excitedly.
Daqin Daily is the fruit of his hard work these days, and it finally paid off and he succeeded.
After a week of development, Daqin Daily no longer has free pre-delivery and vigorous publicity.
After all, free pickup all day has aroused deep opinions among colleagues, and several members of the Press Association have already expressed their opinions.
