Chapter 480 Founding the China-Hong Kong Newspaper
Ding Pinghou knocked on the door and came in. Before he could speak, Cao Weidong took the lead and handed over a stack of manuscripts.
"Mr. Ding, come here, take a look at these manuscripts."
Ding Pinghou was stunned.
"What kind of manuscript is this?"
"These are the stories behind Zhu Xian. They are about four separate volumes. I am currently creating the next stage of content, and it may take some time."
Cao Weidong told lies with his eyes open.
In fact, he has already finished writing Zhu Xian.
The reason why I didn't take them all out was because I was afraid of scaring Marquis Ding Ping.
Ding Pinghou suddenly became anxious.
Slow work and careful work.
You finished writing so quickly, what if you don’t write well?
He put the manuscript next to him and expressed all his concerns.
Finally, Ding Pinghou said with great sincerity.
"Weidong, now is not the time to rush the manuscript. You don't know that readers' expectations for Zhu Xian are too high. What you have to do now is to write the manuscript carefully. We, Sanyi Manuscript, must write Zhu Xian to perfection." It can be seen that Ding Pinghou really cares about him.
Cao Weidong was somewhat moved.
But he still said with a smile.
"Are you worried that I will be criticized?"
Ding Pinghou nodded.
Cao Weidong pointed to the manuscripts and said firmly.
"Mr. Ding, please read my manuscript first, and then we'll talk."
Seeing Cao Weidong's determined tone, Ding Pinghou could only suppress his impatience and sit on the sofa to read the manuscript.
The more he looked, the more surprised he became.
"This...how is this possible?"
.......
Heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as stupid dogs!
Young Zhang Xiaofan holds a fire stick, and together with Lin Jingyu, Lu Xueqi, Zeng Shushu and other kind-hearted and passionate teenagers, he acts as a hero and slays demons and evil. Through the ups and downs, Zhang Xiaofan gradually grows up, and his relationship with Baguio also grows through thick and thin.
China is getting deeper and deeper day by day.
However, the good times did not last long. The first war between good and evil broke out, and Zhang Xiaofan was involved in it and fell into crisis.
Baguio saved him with the infatuation curse, but he himself fell into Yama forever for three lives and seven lives. Because the acacia bell held a soul, his body was immortal.
Zhang Xiaofan was so heartbroken that he betrayed Qingyun and joined the Demon Cult, changing his name to Gui Li...
........
Ding Pinghou’s continuous shouts are wonderful.
The plot advances like a gray line, hidden and detailed. Through Zhang Xiaofan's vision, one-dimensional words show a multi-dimensional world view!
Although it is written about human beings, the focus of the writing is still on the weaving and laying out of the strange world of fairy tales.
One word.
Absolutely!
Ding Pinghou sighed.
"If this is the case, I really don't know what I have to worry about."
Immediately he cheered up again and hurried out, talking as he walked.
"Weidong, I'm going to find someone to bind these manuscripts into a volume as soon as possible. Hey, once these books are released, the Hong Kong literary world will be shaken again."
Cao Weidong was a little dumbfounded.
Ding Pinghou is almost fifty or sixty years old.
He does things so directly.
He quickly called out to Ding Pinghou.
"Mr. Ding, what else do I have to do here?"
Ding Pinghou was puzzled.
"What else is going on?"
Cao Weidong reminded.
"What about opening a newspaper?"
Ding Pinghou slapped his forehead.
"How could I forget this?"
Cao Weidong smiled and said.
"I plan to find a suitable place to serve as the office location of our newspaper, but I am new here and not very familiar with the Central and Western District. Can you accompany me?"
When Marquis Ding Ping heard about this, he immediately beat his chest loudly.
"No problem, I'll take care of it."
.......
The Central and Western District can be subdivided into three parts: Central District, Western District and Mid-Levels District.
Central District includes Admiralty, Central and Sheung Wan.
The Western District includes Sai Wan and Mount Davis.
The mid-levels area includes Victoria Peak and the northern area of Pok Fu Lam.
It is worth mentioning that the academic atmosphere in the Mid-Levels District is relatively strong and there are several well-known schools. Ding Pinghou suggested that the newspaper office could be built near the Mid-Levels District.
Hong Kong Island is not big, so Ding Pinghou and Cao Weidong were walking and chatting.
Ding Pinghou suggested opening a new newspaper in Mid-levels.
The reason is simple.
Safe.
Cao Weidong was puzzled.
"Safe?"
Ding Pinghou sighed and complained.
"Since the British Hong Kong government implemented the Chinese Inspector System, Hong Kong seems to be in good order and peaceful, but in fact it has become increasingly chaotic."
"Inspectors Hua are all like hungry wolves, eating the free stuff and eating the dirty stuff, making a lot of money for themselves, but in the end it is us common people who suffer."
Cao Weidong nodded to express his understanding.
None of the big guys in the black and white circles are good, so how could they cut their own flesh to support Inspector Hua?
Nine times out of ten, these expenses will eventually be shared among the common people.
Either by raising the price of goods, or by overt and covert robbery, in short, there are many ways to make money from the people.
Cao Weidong suddenly remembered that when he first arrived in the Central and Western District, he had dealt with Ouyang Zhong, the son of Inspector Hua.
From this boy's temperament, we can roughly know what kind of existence Inspector Hua is.
Cao Weidong suddenly became curious and asked casually.
"Mr. Ding, you are very familiar with the situation in Hong Kong City. Do you know Ouyang Zhong?"
"Ouyang Zhong..."
Ding Pinghou frowned and thought for a moment, then said with some uncertainty.
"Are you talking about Ouyang Zhong, the son of Inspector Hua Ouyang Shen and known as the Four Little Dragons of Hong Kong City?"
"Yes, that's him."
Cao Weidong nodded, but he was still a little curious.
"With Ouyang Zhong's virtue, can he be called one of the Four Little Dragons of Hong Kong City?"
Ding Pinghou chuckled and said mockingly.
"Ouyang Zhong and the other three are all fools. People secretly call them the Four Little Sticks of Hong Kong City, which means they have nothing to do every day but spend time and wine looking for women."
"I don't know why, but they knew this nickname, but instead of being ashamed, these four guys were proud of it, and even changed their names to the Four Little Dragons..."
Cao Weidong suddenly realized.
Then he pretended to ask casually.
"I wonder how he is doing lately?"
Ding Pinghou gloated over the misfortune.
"I heard that Ouyang Zhong provoked people from Ngee'an and suffered a big loss. Moreover, Ngee'an was also publicly involved, which made Ouyang Shen very passive. He spent all his time mediating for his son."
"And..."
Ding Pinghou said mysteriously.
"I heard that Ouyang Zhong and a red stick in 18K got married, and this matter caused a lot of fuss. Everyone is saying that the four little dragons in Hong Kong City are going to become the three little dragons in Hong Kong City, and one little dragon is going to turn into an earthworm.
”
Cao Weidong snorted and almost laughed.
......
At the suggestion of Ding Pinghou, the two found a pretty good store in a place called Xinyi Lane in the mid-level area.
This is a two-story structure.
The total area is about more than a thousand square meters.
The first floor can be arranged as a printing shop to print newspapers and magazines.
The second floor can be made into an office area, which is usually used by editors or staff of the newspaper.
In addition, it is also very close to Hong Kong City University.
You can recruit outstanding talents from Hong Kong City University at the lowest cost.
Cao Weidong inspected the place and was quite satisfied with the place, so he paid on the spot and rented the store.
Ding Pinghou asked.
"We already have office space, so what is the name of this newspaper?"
