Jin Yong and Shen Baoxin were sitting in the office and didn't know what to say. The news published in today's Jade Emperor Daily was really shocking and frightened them too much.
They are a little bit tearful about the current situation of Yuhuang Daily and Mingpao. If they don't deal with it, there will be no harm.
The two of them founded the current Ming Pao together in 1959. It has been 12 years now. However, after the development of Ming Pao reached its peak, it inevitably began to decline. Now the circulation of the newspaper has dropped. It has dropped to 150,000 copies. As expected, there is no harm without comparison. Thinking about it, the two couldn't help but sigh and shake their heads.
It is true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the waves in front die on the beach. Not only the Yuhuang Daily, but also the Oriental Daily of the White-faced Ma family has only been in existence for three years. Their newspaper sales have reached nearly 300,000 copies, becoming The existence of Hong Kong Island is second only to Jade Emperor Daily, a proper first-tier existence.
Jade Emperor Daily is actually similar to Oriental Daily. It has been almost three years since it was acquired by Jade Emperor Group. However, in less than three years, it has gone from a newspaper that is about to close to an existence that is looked up to by newspaper peers around the world. It is no longer rigid. Radiating to the whole world in Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asia, they are elusive and out of reach.
Of course, Yuhuangxingdao Newspaper is not only rich, but also has a background that cannot be compared with ordinary newspapers. One of its predecessors, "Overseas Chinese Daily", has a history of 120 years, and "China and Foreign News" is also regarded as the first in Hong Kong Island. A Xiawen newspaper.
As for Hu Xian's "Sing Tao Daily", it is not an ordinary existence. Since Hu Wenhu founded "Sing Tao Daily", the newspaper has developed into the largest newspaper group in Southeast Asia, and Hu Wenhu's successor Hu Xian has been crowned the leader of the newspaper industry. Queen's title.
After the reorganization, the Jade Emperor Xingdao Newspaper is in the right place at the right time and with the right people. The Jade Emperor Group has money, and the Xingdao Newspaper has a large number of talents accumulated over the years. With the investment of the Yuhuang Group regardless of cost, the Jade Emperor Star Island Newspapers started a large-scale acquisition activity, which directly spread the tentacles of Yuhuangxingdao Newspapers all over the world.
The Yuhuang Group even spent 250 million yuan to launch communication satellites, which made the news gathering and message transmission capabilities of the Asian Associated Press sky-high, even catching up with official news agencies such as the Associated Press and Agence France-Presse. The Huangxing Island newspaper industry is really not on the same level as them.
"Old Cha, the newspaper market in Hong Kong Island is now saturated. If our Ming Pao wants to continue to grow and develop, we must move out of Hong Kong Island. We can publish in various hot summer areas such as Chinatowns abroad, where People are not short of money, and this is a good development direction.”
Shen Baoxin said to Jin Yong.
"Yes, Ming Pao is indeed about to go out. We can no longer guard the small pond of Hong Kong Island. There are also many Xiawen readership groups in Xinguo, New York, San Francisco, London and other places. It is also time for us to establish overseas Branched out."
Jin Yong said with emotion.
Suddenly he remembered that place, which had invited him several times and wanted him to visit there. There were more than 16 million people living in the summer there, and the size of the market should not be underestimated. You should really consider going there.
Damn it, 6.2 billion dollars, Zhang Sheng is really rich, damn big dog.
…
Oriental Daily, the two brothers Ma Xizhen and Ma Xuru were sitting in the office and didn't know what to say. Looking at the news in the Jade Emperor Daily in front of them, they even began to doubt life. Is the newspaper group really worth so much money?
Are you sure that Yuhuangxingdao Newspaper is not joking with the people of Hong Kong? It’s 6.2 billion yuan, how much white noodles are they going to sell? This newspaper makes more money than they sell white noodles?
The two brothers have been living in Hong Kong for more than 20 years. People in the world call them "white-faced horses" and "gold-faced horses." They have not only sold white noodles for 20 years, but also laundered black money for more than 20 years. However, they worked hard
The little money I have earned through hard work for more than 20 years is just a drop in the bucket compared to Zhang Sheng. There is really no harm without comparison, and it brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it.
Although they knew that real tycoons made money, they really couldn't imagine that they could make as much money as Zhang Sheng did.
"Brother, since newspapers are so promising, let's station Oriental Daily abroad. Anyway, we have a lot of reporters abroad. Isn't it a waste to keep them unused? Put them to use."
Ma Xizhen said to Ma Xuru.
Ma Xiru secretly calculated in his heart that the main purpose of founding Oriental Daily was to launder money, but he did not expect that it would develop in just over two years. Oriental Daily has become the second-largest newspaper in Hong Kong Island in terms of sales, and it has made a lot of money.
It's an unexpected surprise.
And since the newspaper is so promising, why not start this serious business thoroughly? If it succeeds, then...
"Okay, then we will enter the new country first, and then after establishing a stable footing, we will enter Johor and Luzon. Now that Southeast Asia is stable and we have a large rear area, let's talk about it.
After stabilizing Southeast Asia, we will then enter Japan and use Japan as a springboard to enter the America, Maple Leaf Country and even the European market, and become a truly international newspaper.
The company’s reporters should also be developed more. Not only can those reporters collect news, but they are also our informants and can play a special role at critical moments. Anyway, we don’t care about the salary, so just keep it!”
After thinking for a while, Ma Xuru said.
"Brother, now Governor MacLehose is going to crack down on internal corruption. I guess the next step may be us. Should we..."
Ma Xizhen said with some worry.
"Don't worry, our Oriental Daily is a legal business, and if we invest all the money we have earned over the years into regular business, we will go back to our hometown and there will be nothing MacLehose can do to us."

Central, Global Shipping Group.
The charter king looked at the market value of Yuhuangxingdao Newspaper in the newspaper as high as 6.2 billion Hong Kong dollars, and was deeply shocked. The market value of his Universal Group was only just over 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, which was just more than Yuhuangxingdao Newspaper.
It’s just a fraction of the Huangxing Island newspaper industry. This little Zhang is really terrifying.
"Father, the valuation of 6.2 billion is still after Yuhuangxingdao Newspaper has been greatly affected by the American economy, and now advertising revenue has also declined. If Yuhuangxingdao Newspaper does not maintain the
Considering the influence of America, it will not be difficult for the estimated market value to exceed tens of billions of dollars."
Su Haiwen said to the charter king.
"Xiao Zhang is not only capable but also very lucky. Yuhuangxingdao Newspaper has two talents, Lin Xingzhi and Hu Xian, to manage it. Coupled with his large investment of funds and channels, it has developed in the past two years.
It’s really fast.”
The Charter King said with infinite emotion.
"Loss, Zhang Shengding's development plan for Yuhuang Xingdao Newspaper is still very clear. Yuhuang Group directly acquired Overseas Chinese Daily, and then completed mergers and acquisitions with Xingdao Group.
The reorganization of the two newspaper groups made their distribution channels the largest in Asia, and then they spent huge sums of money to acquire newspapers in various countries around the world.
It can be said that the development history of Yuhuang Xingdao Newspaper is almost a history of acquisitions. Over more than two years, it has continuously acquired newspapers around the world. Coupled with the Asian Associated Press all over the world, it has naturally become the largest newspaper in the world.
industry group.
Such a classic business behavior will definitely be used as a case study by university business schools in various countries around the world in the future!"
Su Haiwen said sadly.
"Yes, Xiao Zhang is a sensible person. He has worked so hard to establish a company as quickly as he can acquire it, and it is still in a foreign country. Instead of wasting time and effort to create a branch, it is better to acquire a local newspaper.
His Tiangong Shipyard was not directly acquired from John Bull. After the direct acquisition, he successfully obtained the talent and technology accumulation of those shipyards, and it would not be possible if it did not develop quickly."
The chartering king was very envious of Zhang Zhonghua. There was really a shortage of engineering talents in Southeast Asia, and he had already succeeded in directly acquiring on-site companies in Europe and the United States, but his boss no longer supported him in doing so.
"Father, we have to digest the development results of the past two years. The group will also carry out diversified development in the future. It cannot be concentrated in one area. In this way, the ability to resist risks will be very weak. Once targeted policies or policies emerge,
Disasters will inevitably cause huge difficulties for the group.
Once diversified development occurs, we will not be too passive even if the company encounters force majeure in the future. Diversified development is also the ultimate way for a company to develop to a certain level. There are always bottlenecks in any single industry."
Su Haiwen explained.
The chartering king was very satisfied with his eldest son-in-law. The doctor's knowledge was indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people, and the company had a successor.
"However, the stock market on Hong Kong Island should not be able to support 15% of the shares of Yuhuangxingdao Newspaper. The stock market pool on Hong Kong Island is still too small. It is difficult to raise a real dragon in shallow water."
The charter king said with emotion.
"Indeed, in fact, there is no need for Yuhuangxingdao Newspaper to be listed at all. The reason why it was listed on Hong Kong Island was a helpless move. At that time, I am afraid that state-owned assets such as Japan, Hong Kong government, and New Zealand will be invited to invest in it.
Although it is a helpless move, it is also a good thing that can achieve multiple benefits with one stone. Governments from various countries are taking a stake in Yuhuangxingdao Newspaper, which will also have great benefits for the company's market value and future development, and the state-owned capital that invests can also
Get enough returns from the continuous development of Yuhuangxingdao newspaper industry."
Su Haiwen said with a smile.
The chartering king is becoming more and more satisfied with his eldest son-in-law. The perspective of thinking about the problem is indeed different from that of ordinary people. For the future development of the company, it is indeed a good way to appropriately introduce state-owned capital, especially in a special industry such as newspapers.
The endorsement of state-owned capital has hundreds of benefits and no harm.
…
Li Chaoren of Cheung Kong Industries felt his scalp numb as he looked at the newspaper in front of him. The market value of Yuhuangxingdao Newspaper is so high, wouldn't it be good to list it on the Japanese stock market? Why should some of it be listed on Hong Kong Island? The Hong Kong Island stock market is just pretending.
Would you like to sell your share of the shares?
His Cheung Kong Holdings is also preparing to split its assets, that is, splitting off the company's buildings, land reserves, etc. Cheung Kong Holdings plans to be listed in the Far East in the second half of the year.
If Yuhuangxingdao Newspaper is listed on the Hong Kong stock market, the 6 billion Hong Kong dollars in stocks will almost wipe out the savings of the citizens. By then, the shareholders will have no money in their hands, so his Cheung Kong Holdings will still be listed.
A hammer.
Li Chaoren is still thinking of waiting for the Hung Hom Cross Harbor Tunnel to open to traffic before listing the company. This is great news for real estate companies. The Hong Kong government's subway plan has not been finalized for several years.
Li Chaoren let out a long sigh of helplessness. His Yangtze River Holdings also had to change its listing plan, and the splitting work had to be advanced. Taking advantage of the undecided plan to list Yuhuang Xingdao Newspaper on Hong Kong Island, he went public first to collect some funds.
.
…
Not only Jin Yong, but also the Charter King and Li Chaoren were shocked by Jade Emperor Star Island Newspaper. Several major real estate tycoons in Hong Kong include Sun Hung Kai Properties Kwok Desheng, Hang Lung Properties Chen Zengxi, Henderson Land Development Li Zhaoji, and New World Development Zheng Yutong.
, Hopewell Holdings, Hu Yinxiang, and other Hong Kong real estate tycoons also watched in silence as Yuhuangxingdao Newspapers had a market value of 6.2 billion. At the same time, they all advanced their company's listing plans. Once Yuhuangxing was
If Island Newspapers is listed on Hong Kong Island, who will buy their shares?
When everyone in Hong Kong was shocked by the 6.2 billion market value of Yuhuangxingdao Newspaper, the road show plan for the listing of Yuhuangxingdao Newspaper was also arranged. Zhang Zhonghua, who had a good time with Hu Xian and Lin Xingzhi, also took a plane to
America's flight to San Francisco?
Of course, Zhang Zhonghua came to America on a business trip to receive the award, and it was the award he was most interested in, the Turing Award, the highest award in the global computer field. At the same time, the Turing Award was also hailed as the "Nobel Prize in the computer industry" by all walks of life.
”.
The Turing Award is a computer award established by the American Computer Association in 1966. This year is only the seventh time. The previous six winners were four Americans and two John Bulls.
1966 Turing Award Winner: Alan Paley, the "birther" of the ALCOL language and computer science
1967 Turing Award winner: Maurice Wilkes, developer of the world's first stored program computer EDSAC
1968 Turing Award Winner: Richard Hamming, the great mathematician and information science expert who invented the error-correcting code
1969 Turing Award Winner: Marvin Minsky, "Father of Artificial Intelligence" and founder of Framework Theory
1970 Turing Award Winner: James Wilkinson, numerical analysis expert and hero of the development of the ACE computer
1971 Turing Award winner: John McCarthy, "Father of Artificial Intelligence" and inventor of the LISP language
When universities compete for strength in the future, the Nobel Prize in science and engineering, the Fields Medal in mathematics, and the Turing Award in computing will also be important reference standards. Can it be considered a world-famous school without a Nobel Prize?
Zhang Zhonghua recalled a piece of news from his previous life. Several universities had withdrawn from the international university rankings. It would be a great honor for a university to be ranked among the top 500.
There are so many great universities in DaMao, and they are all strong in science and engineering. They are so low in the rankings that no one has dropped out of the rankings.
Dongjin University in Japan has more than a dozen Nobel Prize winners, and its ranking is lower than that of Shinkook National University. People don't seem to care about it at all.
