The port city is not that big. It is actually made up of more than 200 large and small islands. In this highly densely populated land, whatever happens, it will spread throughout the entire country within a day.
Harbor City.
Especially those who work as journalists.
Almost all of them are masters who see all directions and listen to all directions.
We are well informed.
No.
Just today.
Another piece of explosive news spread like wildfire and quickly became a topic of conversation after dinner.
[Shaw Brothers Pictures decided to ban China Hong Kong Newspaper! The reason is that group executives believe that the quality of China Hong Kong Newspaper is too good and may impact the status of Shaw Brothers Newspapers.]
The whole port city was in an uproar.
Everyone’s first reaction was disbelief.
Fake news?
Who is Shaw Brothers Pictures?
He is the leader in the Hong Kong film industry.
As for the China-Hong Kong Newspaper, many people have never heard of it before.
This is just like a large group company like Alibaba, which is worried that a little-known small company will affect its industry status, so it blocks it in advance.
This is simply a fantasy.
However, after multiple verifications, the news was finally confirmed to be true.
This sentence was indeed spoken by a senior executive of Shaw Brothers Pictures.
Now people can’t help but not believe it.
But then, everyone became curious again.
What kind of newspaper is it that makes Shaw Brothers Pictures consider blocking it?
When a good person inquired about it, he was surprised to find that the Hua Hong Kong Newspaper was created by the author of "Zhu Xian".
And the new work "Piaomiao Journey" is being serialized through China Hong Kong News.
Now everyone's curiosity was completely aroused.
People are just so weird sometimes.
The more blocked it becomes.
The more people are studying and thinking about it.
Everyone went to the newspaper office one after another and requested to buy the China-Hong Kong Newspaper by name.
As a result, the Huagang newspaper in the entire port city was sold out.
However, what is inversely proportional to the ever-increasing sales is Ding Pinghou's increasingly heavy heart.
.......
"Weidong, something big happened."
Ding Pinghou hurriedly ran into Cao Weidong's office and saw him drinking tea leisurely, so he said anxiously.
"What time has it been and you still have the heart to drink tea? We are in big trouble now."
Cao Weidong’s strange way.
"What happened?"
Ding Pinghou gave him a report.
"Look at our newspaper's sales report."
Cao Weidong took it casually and said curiously.
"I've seen it, it's pretty good, no problem?"
"Well... sales have been very good these days. The newspaper output is almost catching up with Ming Pao. Not bad."
Ding Pinghou raised his eyebrows.
"Okay? This is the last prosperity before the collapse. Haven't you heard the rumors outside that Shaw Brothers is going to attack us."
Cao Weidong naturally knew this.
And it was the initiator - Liang Feng told him personally.
Of course, Liang Feng also said it, he just said it and expressed his attitude.
This was done purely to deal with Mr. Shaw and other executives at Shaw Brothers.
By the way, you can take advantage of people's curiosity and promote the China-Hong Kong Newspaper.
Cao Weidong felt confident, as stable as an old general on the stage.
But you can’t say this to Ding Pinghou.
So he spread his hands and said casually:
"I've heard those rumors too. If Shaw Brothers want to take action against us, let them do it. What's the use of being anxious here?"
Ding Pinghou scratched his head, it seemed to make sense.
Cao Weidong then comforted him.
"Mr. Ding, you are just too nervous. It's okay. The soldiers will come to cover up the water and the earth. If Shaw Brothers really wants to do something, we will take care of it."
"What you have to do now is to find ways to improve the content of the editorial section of the China-Hong Kong Newspaper. You can't always rely on a few novels serialized in the newspaper to support the scene."
"We also need to develop diversified businesses. We can refer to Ming Pao and sell newspaper advertising space to external parties."
Ding Pinghou nodded repeatedly.
Cao Weidong continued.
"Also, now that the sales of China-Hong Kong Newspaper have increased significantly, I decided to update it during this period. This is a manuscript I prepared in advance. You can have someone edit it and update it from two chapters a day to five chapters a day."
Ding Pinghou was startled.
"Weidong, when did you write it, and why do you have so many saved manuscripts?"
Cao Weidong waved his hand and said lightly.
"I just use my free time to write, but I write faster than others."
Ding Pinghou was filled with admiration.
In his eyes, Cao Weidong turned into a tentacle monster and a human flesh printer.
Ding Pinghou chatted for a few words, took the manuscript and was about to leave. Cao Weidong called him from behind and said.
"Mr. Ding, I'm going to the United States in the next few days, so I'll leave the newspaper business to you first."
Ding Pinghou was not surprised at all.
In his eyes, Cao Weidong's character was originally an overseas returnee who came to Hong Kong to look for investment opportunities. It was normal to have overseas connections.
Maybe it’s to go back to visit relatives or something?
Ding Pinghou thought so.
.......
Cao Weidong took out a letter from the drawer.
I looked at the above content and thought silently.
"Finally got in touch. With her help, this trip to Hollywood should go smoothly..."
This letter was sent back from the United States, and there was a line of beautiful handwriting on the envelope.
Song Shunci.
When he was still in China, in order to carry out the secret mission of the municipal committee, he went to Yingjiang as a special adviser.
By chance, he used a high-quality salvia to save the life of Mr. Song, the founder of the Huaqing Gang, and thus met Mr. Song's granddaughter, Song Shunci.
The little girl was attracted by his charm when she came into contact with Cao Weidong, and finally fell deeply in love with Cao Weidong.
When Cao Weidong returned to the country, she confessed her feelings and left her mailing address.
Therefore, when he went to Yingjiang this time, Cao Weidong immediately thought of Song Shunci.
It stands to reason that Song Shunci's main activity area is in New York, while Hollywood is located in the northwest suburbs of California, so the distance between the two is not too close.
But when Song Shunci learned that Cao Weidong planned to go to Hollywood, she said that she would wait for him in Hollywood and give him a surprise.
Thinking of the upcoming reunion with Song Shunci, Cao Weidong couldn't help but feel a little more hopeful.
.......
After finishing the work at hand, Cao Weidong walked out of the office.
When passing by the restaurant, I also bought some shrimp dumplings, rice rolls, wonton noodles, etc.
As soon as I walked to the door of my house, a person suddenly came out of the alley.
"Boss, I'm back."
Cao Weidong was startled and almost didn't throw the shrimp dumplings in his hand over.
Fortunately, he suddenly reacted at this time.
This man's voice sounded familiar.
It seems to be Shi Man.
Cao Weidong took a closer look and said happily.
"Shi Man, are you back?"
Shi Man nodded.
"Well, I'm back. This trip went very smoothly. I picked up Miss Chen Xueru and that guy Xu Aiguo."
"I will place them in your other house in Hong Kong City, and then wait here for your return."
"It's just that you still need to decide how Miss Xueru will arrange it."
He has been following Cao Weidong all these years. Knowing that Chen Xueru and Cao Weidong have an unusual relationship, he will definitely not take Chen Xueru home directly.
So he waited here.
I plan to tell Cao Weidong the news in advance so that he can be prepared.
Cao Weidong understood instantly and smiled to hide his inner embarrassment.
