When "Overseas Chinese Daily" was first acquired, it did not attract much attention from Hong Kong Island, and there was no big movement. The newspaper was still published.
What makes Zhang Zhonghua more gratified is that there are no employees under the newspaper and no one has chosen to leave. All the staff in the editorial department have also gone to Yuhuang Printing Company to learn new technologies. They have great interest and enthusiasm for the Wubi input method.
After three days of calm, the latest issue of "Overseas Chinese Daily" and the suspension number of "Overseas Chinese Daily" were finally released. This suspension number officially announced the end of the historical mission of "Overseas Chinese Daily".
In order to commemorate the day when the Overseas Chinese Daily ceased publication, Zhang Zhonghua also wrote a special closing message for the Overseas Chinese Daily.
On this morning, after many loyal users of "Overseas Chinese Daily" got the latest issue of "Overseas Chinese Daily", they immediately saw the eye-catching headline in the center of the newspaper, which was "One Hundred and One Hundred Days".
We have been in the same boat for more than ten years, and I am grateful to have you by my side all the way."
"Since 1858, Mr. Wu Tingfang, a famous diplomat and jurist in the late Qing Dynasty, founded the "Chinese and Foreign News" on Hong Kong Island, which ended the situation that there had been no Chinese newspapers on Hong Kong Island and became the first real Chinese newspaper in history...
On November 22, 1913, the Hong Kong Island Chinese Business Association was officially established. In order to protect the rights and interests of Chinese businessmen, participate in social welfare, and strengthen the connection between Hong Kong Island and the mainland, the Hong Kong Island Chinese Business Association received the support from the Hong Kong Federation from the day of its establishment.
Government recognition.
After 45 years of development, Hong Kong Island's first Chinese newspaper "China and Foreign News" ceased publication, and "Hong Kong Island Chinese Business Federation News" came into being...
On June 5, 1925, Mr. Shum Weixiu purchased the "Hong Kong Island Chinese Business Federation Newspaper" and founded the current "Overseas Chinese Daily".
In the mid-1920s, "Overseas Chinese Daily" suddenly emerged, and successively formed a huge newspaper group in Hong Kong Island, Macau, Guangzhou and other places. "Overseas Chinese Daily" implemented the position of businessmen running newspapers, mostly expressing opinions to the government for the business community on Hong Kong Island.
The British Hong Kong government attaches great importance to and has established good relations...
After World War II, "Overseas Chinese Daily", "Business Daily" and "Sing Tao Daily" became the most important newspapers in Hong Kong Island at that time...
Today, it has been another 45 years since the founding of "Overseas Chinese Daily". Today, with the last morning, "Overseas Chinese Daily" also wants to say goodbye to you.
Since the founding of "Chinese and Foreign News" in 1858, it has subsequently experienced the "Hong Kong Island Chinese Business Federation Newspaper", and "Overseas Chinese Daily" has also gone through 45 years.

After reading the closing words of "Overseas Chinese Daily", many loyal readers were filled with emotion. After many twists and turns, Hong Kong Island's first Chinese newspaper ended its mission again this year.
Especially some older grandparents, they feel extremely disappointed. "Overseas Chinese Daily" has accompanied them for 45 years, almost their entire life, and now it's time to say goodbye again.
From "Chinese and Foreign News" to "Hong Kong Chinese Business Federation" and then to "Overseas Chinese Daily", it has been more than 110 years. Even though "Overseas Chinese Daily" has completely declined, from the three giants to the second-rate
Tabloid.
However, its status in Hong Kong Island's newspaper industry remains unshakable, and no one can take away its contribution to Hong Kong Island's industrial and commercial circles and the newspaper industry.
After reading the closing words, the readers of "Overseas Chinese Daily" then looked at the other half of the newspaper. However, the big headline above almost blinded everyone's eyes. It was "Yuhuang Daily Sincerely Welcomes You to Join".
"The Chinese and Foreign News, the Hong Kong Chinese Business Federation, and the Overseas Chinese Daily have served us Hong Kong residents for more than 110 years, accompanying us through countless springs and autumns, with happiness and success.

"Lao Liu, "Overseas Chinese Daily" is also going to cease publication. Hurry up and buy a copy of the newspaper and keep it."
"No way, why did the "Overseas Chinese Daily" suddenly cease publication? I started reading it from the "Hong Kong Island Chinese Business Federation", and now I have been reading the "Overseas Chinese Daily" for more than 40 years."
"Alas, today's newspapers in Hong Kong are serialized, and those writers are proud to be published in Ming Pao. Today's young people rarely read these old newspapers.
The sales volume cannot make ends meet, and the newspaper business is in decline. Sooner or later, this will happen. It’s not surprising.”
"Oh, it's such a pity that "Overseas Chinese Daily" was so popular back then, but now it has stopped publishing. It's really that things have changed."

Kowloon, Ming Pao Newspaper Office.
Shen Baoxin hurried into Jin Yong's office holding a copy of the discontinued issue of "Overseas Chinese Daily" and saw his old friend writing "The Deer and the Cauldron" on the paper.
Shen Baoxin sat opposite Jin Yong, picked up the teapot and poured himself a glass of water, then drank it all in one gulp, threw the discontinued issue of "Overseas Chinese Daily" at the end of Jin Yong's year and said: "Something big happened!
"
"What's wrong with Baoxin? What's the big deal? Are you so anxious?"
Jin Yong smiled and put down his pen and asked. He hadn't seen his old friend so anxious in a long time.
Shen Baoxin pointed to the "Overseas Chinese Daily" on the table and told Jin Yong to read it for himself. He believed that Jin Yong would never stop laughing after reading it. This was a real opponent much more powerful than Sing Tao Newspaper.
Before he became famous, Zhang Sheng wrote a science fiction book that became popular all over the world. In order to promote the LFC restaurant, he wrote a romance book that swept East Asia. Now that he has entered the newspaper industry, it should not be difficult to write an outstanding one.
When Jin Yong saw the title "We have been together for more than 110 years, I am grateful to have you by my side", I was very moved. I don't know how many newspapers in Hong Kong close down and how many are established every year. After reading it at a glance, I felt a little regretful.
Then I saw the title of another page "Yuhuang Daily Welcomes You to Join", and then I understood what my old friend meant. This was Zhang Sheng of the Yuhuang Group who was going to enter the newspaper field.
Jin Yong is really a little unsettled this time. He didn't feel this way when he worshiped the white-faced Ma family to found "Oriental Daily", but this time he really feels like the wolf is coming.
"At the beginning of the year, the white-faced Ma family entered the newspaper industry and established the Oriental Daily. Now there is another Jade Emperor Daily. The newspaper industry on Hong Kong Island is really going to be lively this time."
Jin Yong said with a wry smile.
"Don't worry about the "Oriental Daily" of the white-faced Ma family. They probably won't be able to run a newspaper because they are gangsters. Even if they can run it, it won't be a big threat to us.
But Zhang Sheng's "Jade Emperor Daily" is a strong competitor. How about we increase the remuneration to 100 words per thousand words now? Our remuneration is really low. If we continue to use such low remuneration, there may be many writers.
I will switch jobs to Jade Emperor Daily and contribute articles to Jade Emperor Daily."
Shen Baoxin said worriedly.
"One hundred thousand words is a bit high. Let's raise it to 40 Hong Kong dollars per thousand words first. And if Zhang Sheng wants to poach authors, it will be useless if we raise it to 100 words. Who in Hong Kong can compete with Zhang Sheng for financial resources? Or?
Let the soldiers come and cover up the water and earth."
"No, Zhang Sheng probably doesn't like the profits and fame of newspapers. It seems that these newspapers on Hong Kong Island made Zhang Sheng unhappy, so he entered the newspaper industry."
"Well, Zhang Sheng is a very low-key person. He doesn't like to appear in front of the media, and he doesn't want to expose the strength of the Jade Emperor Group too much. But now the newspapers in Hong Kong are paying too much attention to him. Even Zhang Sheng came from Chou Country
It will occupy the front page headlines for several days when I come back.
In the future, Ming Pao will also report less on Zhang Sheng and the Yuhuang Group. I am really afraid that Zhang Sheng will overturn the table and bring down all his competitors."
Jin Yong smiled bitterly.
"Is it that exaggerated? It shouldn't be enough to ruin it, right?"
Shen Bao Xinyan was shocked.
"How could it not be the case? Zhang Sheng is not short of money. He really made him anxious. He just published the Jade Emperor Daily for free. Not to mention other newspapers, even our Ming Pao could hardly sustain it."
Shen Baoxin took a deep breath when he heard his old friend's words. If it was really free, all tabloids with a circulation of less than 10,000 copies would be closed down. It was a bit shuddering to think about it.

Central, Sing Tao Newspaper.
Hu Xian looked at the newspaper handed over by his assistant. What was supposed to come would eventually come, but he didn't expect Zhang Sheng to enter the newspaper field so early.
A newspaper only costs two cents, and the monthly income of a newspaper office may not be as high as Mr. Zhang's profit from selling a set of software. This is just a hard meal, so why bother?
"Boss, Zhang Sheng's "Jade Emperor Daily" has had the biggest impact on us. Zhang Sheng's global media channels are much stronger than ours. Moreover, Zhang Sheng himself is a well-known writer, so it is easy to attract some writers to write articles.
It’s something.”

The assistant said.
"That's nothing. What's really scary about Jade Emperor Daily is its powerful sales channels. There are countless art convenience stores all over Hong Kong Island, Japan and European countries.
Nowadays, many people in Hong Kong buy breakfast and lunch at Homemart convenience stores. After buying breakfast and lunch, it is easy to buy a newspaper, and there is no need to use traditional newspaper sales channels."
Hu Xian said helplessly.
The assistant felt even colder after hearing this. Putting a newspaper rack next to the cashier doesn't take up much space. There are quite a few people eating breakfast at CFC and convenience stores in the morning. Sometimes he also eats some good stew to deal with it casually.
"If our employees change jobs, no other company can match the benefits provided by Yuhuang Group. It is estimated that many of our employees will change jobs to Jade Emperor Daily."
"There are so many newspapers on Hong Kong Island. Not only our Sing Tao family, there are many people who want to change jobs, but there are also Ta Kung Pao, Wen Wei Po, Ming Pao, etc."
Hu Xian said.
"This time the wolf really cried," the assistant said gloomily.
"When I signed up with Zhang Sheng, he made it clear that he wanted to enter the newspaper industry. In the past few years, I was really on tenterhooks and couldn't escape. Now that I'm here, I feel a lot more relaxed."
Hu Xian said with a bitter smile

Kowloon, Oriental Press.
Brothers Ma Xuru and Ma Xizhen looked at the "Overseas Chinese Daily" in front of them, thinking that the "Oriental Daily" founded at the beginning of the year has sold less than 5,000 copies so far. If there is no comparison, there will be no harm.
"This time the Jade Emperor Daily enters the newspaper industry, it is really a beast in troubled waters. With the involvement of the Jade Emperor Group, the development of our Oriental Daily will be even more difficult."
"Then let's play fair. Our Oriental Daily News just needs to be among the top five on Hong Kong Island. This newspaper is too important to us."
Ma Xiru said with emotion.
The two brothers both gave a wry smile. Although they were awesome on the road, they did not dare to provoke Zhang Sheng. Not to mention how terrifying the security company of the Jade Emperor Group was, just Zhang Sheng's brothers could suppress the entire Hong Kong underground.
world.
The people who were against Zhang Zhonghua and the Lou family on the road were all found and reclaimed. There were also many lone wolves and gangsters from Southeast Asia who were sent to Hong Kong Island by rocket launchers and their crews before they even arrived.
sky.
The security company of the Jade Emperor Group is even more terrifying. Let alone a society, they can even touch the British Hong Kong garrison. The key is that it is extremely legal.
"We have set up a betting station outside the Macau dog racing track. Now more and more people are betting on dogs. Then I will spend money to hire famous experts to write about dogs. The sales volume of the newspaper can also increase to a higher level."
Ma Xizhen said.
"You can figure it out. You are smarter than me. You can take care of the newspaper office. We have also raised the remuneration to 100 words per thousand words. We don't believe that those poor writers are not interested. Jade Emperor Daily will not accept their articles. Our Oriental
Can I receive the daily newspaper?"
Ma Xiru said with a smile, the corners of his mouth couldn't help showing contempt.
"No problem. With Jade Emperor Daily supporting us in front, it will be much easier for us to pick up the leaks."
