Li Xuexuan did not speak, but took the fruit knife from the fruit plate on the dining table, took an apple and peeled it in his hand, without raising his head and said: "Mr. Cha, you should be very clear about the purpose of my coming here! We Steel Not long after the alliance was established, and before various matters were announced to the outside world, you, Ming Pao, followed Shi Zhijian to fan the flames and make random guesses. Isn't it a bit uncivilized?"
Jin Yong laughed: "I don't know what the purpose of your organization is! I don't know how to do it! I only know that people can't afford to live in iron houses or use iron cooking pots. This alone is enough." That’s it!”
Li Xuexuan raised her head and gazed into Jin Yong's eyes with her beautiful eyes: "Ask for the people and guide the country? Sure enough, Mr. Cha sometimes seems confused about the situation. This is Hong Kong, not your novel world. There is no need for a big hero, nor is it What peerless martial arts are needed to uphold justice!"
"A great chivalrous person serves the country and the people!" Jin Yong said firmly, "This is written in my novel. Miss Li can read it if you have time!"
Li Xuexuan smiled, "Sorry, I don't like reading those messy novels! It will only waste time and not be beneficial at all!"
"It's a pity that you lost a lot of fun!" Jin Yong said with a smile, "Martial arts novels are fairy tales for adults! It seems that Miss Li's childhood must have been very unfortunate."
Li Xuexuan frowned slightly, as if Jin Yong poked at the central issue. When she was a child, her father was kicked out of the Li family and went to Thailand. In Thailand, she was in a foreign country. Where was the fun in being ostracized? Her childhood was lonely. , cold, in her memory there were only two colors in childhood, black and white.
"Okay, Mr. Cha, I'm not here today to talk to you about the value of novels! What I want to tell you is that I hope you can rein in the precipice and stop being a helper!" Li Xuexuan said with a beautiful snap of her fingers. Mr. Wen Zeton handed her a document.
After taking the document, Li Xuexuan put it on the tea table and pushed it to Jin Yong, "You have a look first! Maybe you will change your mind!"
Jin Yong picked up the document unhurriedly, opened it and looked at it. At first, his expression was normal, then gradually he looked solemn, and finally showed a trace of surprise, looking up at Li Xuexuan: "How could this happen?"
Li Xuexuan smiled: "Why, you are curious about how I bought 20% of the equity of "Ming Pao" from Shen Bao's newbie? The reason is very simple. I gave him money, enough money! Nothing in this world is taken Money can’t buy it! What kind of literary spirit, treating money like dirt, it’s all bullshit!”
"Ming Pao" was founded in 1959 with an initial capital of only 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. Cha Liangyong invested 80,000 Hong Kong dollars and the other 20,000 were invested by his middle school classmate Shen Baoxin.
In the early days of "Ming Pao", the serialization of Cha Liangyong's own novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was its selling point. Cha Liangyong also served as the editor-in-chief, which became another golden sign to attract readers. At that time, he wrote novels in the afternoon and was immersed in fiction. He watched the flashes of swords and swords in ancient rivers and lakes, and at night he wrote editorials to criticize the current ills.
As the sales of "Ming Pao" skyrocketed, it later launched a series of newspapers including "Ming Pao Evening News", "Ming Pao Monthly" and "Ming Pao Weekly", as well as Malaysia's "Shin Min Daily News".
Therefore, it can be said that the current development momentum of "Ming Pao" is very good. It is actually Shen Baoxin's best choice to be able to retreat bravely in such a situation and sell 20% of the equity of "Ming Pao" to Li Xuexuan at a high price.
Jin Yong and Shen Baoxin have been friends for a long time, and after a little thought, he understood the reason.
Li Xuexuan continued: "Mr. Cha, you are a great writer and a businessman. Now you have made great achievements in the literary world. Do you want to take a step forward in your career?"
After Li Xuexuan finished speaking, she put down the fruit knife in her hand, put the peeled apple to her lips and took a bite, looking at Jin Yong with a smile.
"What do you mean by that?" Jin Yong didn't dare to look at the scene of Li Xuexuan biting an apple. That scene was full of charm for some reason.
"What I mean is that we at Ricci will invest more money to help you become a famous newspaper tycoon." Li Xuexuan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, showing her white teeth. "Don't you want to establish Mingpao Publishing House and Mingchuang Publishing House recently? ? I can help you and open up the Southeast Asian market for you! By then, Mr. Cha, you will not only be a golden hero who writes novels, but also the king of the newspaper and media industry! What do you think, think about it? "
Jin Yong's heart palpitated slightly.
Jin Yong has always been a pursuer.
In the literary world, he pursues breakthroughs and changes. Almost every novel is different and has a new starting point.
In the newspaper industry, he pursues the ultimate and peak. In addition to running newspapers, he also wants to be involved in the publishing and distribution industry.
But a person's ability is limited, and so is his wealth. Now his newspaper empire has just taken shape. If he takes too big a step, he will easily fall. This is something he doesn't want to see.
He could only trade time for bargaining chips, work steadily, and slowly build his own newspaper empire.
But now, Li Xuexuan told him that he could help him become the king of the newspaper industry in one fell swoop. This temptation was difficult to resist.
Jin Yong felt his throat was dry, so he struggled to pick up the teacup and took a sip. Then he looked at Li Xuexuan with a hoarse voice and said, "What do you want me to do?"
Li Xuexuan smiled and threw away the apple he just took a bite of: "It's very simple! Since you are willing to accept my investment, then we are a family! A family does not speak two languages, of course it must rely on your newspaper Use your strength!"
Jin Yong's face became a little embarrassed, "But..."
"But what?" Li Xuexuan interrupted him, "I know that you have established a deep friendship with Shi Zhijian, and Mingpao and Shinhwa have also concluded some strategic alliance, but aren't those just promises? Do they want to tie you down? For a lifetime? "Ming Pao" is yours, not his, Shi Zhijian's, why do you always have to speak for him?"
Jin Yong remained silent, picked up the tea cup and wanted to drink tea, but found that the tea cup was empty.
Seeing this, Li Xuexuan picked up the teapot and personally helped Jin Yong add water: "In addition, I am not afraid to tell you that besides you, I have already contacted "Sing Tao Daily" and the Chinese "Tiger Daily", and they will also contact you. We, the Iron Alliance, advance and retreat together!"
Jin Yong coughed and seemed to be choking on his tea.
Lee Seol-hyun continued: "In fact, even if you don't side with us, I can still influence the direction of public opinion! What is public opinion? Isn't it just the sales of newspapers in this era? How can Shi Zhijian's "Oriental Daily" compete with me? "
After a pause, Li Xuexuan picked up the teapot and poured herself a glass of water. She squeezed it and said, "But one thing I'm afraid you've seen, Mr. Cha, is that Oriental Daily is developing too fast. For your Ming Pao newspaper, It's not a good thing! Especially the columns "Fantasy Sword Book Alliance" and "Starting Point" developed by Shi Zhijian are simply a surefire move! If you hadn't written "The Deer and the Cauldron", no one would be like him compared to the huge Hong Kong Opponent! So here I give you a suggestion, it is better to kill the cradle than to feed the tiger!"
Jin Yong became angry and put down the tea cup, causing the tea to splash out: "The quarrel between literati is nothing more than verbal and written criticism! If you want me to use my own tricks to win, it's better not to talk about it!"
Li Xuexuan smiled: "Since Mr. Cha, you are not willing to take action personally, then I, the second shareholder, will have to do it for you!"
"What are you going to do?"
"You will know soon!" Li Xuexuan smiled slightly and took a sip from the teacup: "Good tea!"
…
"Oriental Daily", President's Office.
"You made the 'Steel Alliance' into a villain organization in "Wesley". It's good to keep up with current events! However, the words should not be excessive. Some readers have reported that writing like this will reduce the reading experience!" As the female president Lu Yawen put down the newspaper in her hand, her pretty face full of seriousness, and said to Ni Jiang, who was sitting opposite and sipping a glass of French red wine.
Ni Jiang sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and swallowed the red wine in his mouth: "I am also doing this to help your boss A Jian! He gave me so much royalties, why should I help him in the novel? For a moment, write that bullshit Steel Alliance as a street rat, and everyone shouts to beat it up! In fact, apart from me, Big Head Gu Long also did the same. In addition to writing "Happy Heroes", he also wrote a lot of criticism for the boss. The words in the Iron Alliance editorial were more intense than mine! It made fans of his book think that Big Brain changed careers and became a democracy fighter!"
Lu Yawen gently poked the newspaper on the table with the tip of her index finger. She didn't seem to have any desire for the precious red wine in front of her: "Having said that, you still have to put your mind into the novel's conception. You know, no matter how well your editorial is written, How good it is, if the sales of the newspaper cannot increase, no one will read it, and if no one reads it, everything will be in vain!"
"Don't worry, I heard that the sales volume of our Oriental Daily has exceeded 40,000 copies!" Ni Jiang said unconcernedly: "When the Ma brothers were in power, I wouldn't even dare to think about this! This newspaper in their hands is simply losing money! Also, I met Lao Cha yesterday, and he was also surprised by the soaring sales of "Oriental Daily"! Come to think of it, those two sections were all created by Mr. Shi , a fantasy sword book alliance, a starting point, it is simply amazing! Catch all the people in Hong Kong who like to read novels!"
Lu Yawen frowned. Since she took over "Oriental Daily", she has regarded the entire newspaper office as her own home, with food and accommodation here. It is of course good that "Oriental Daily" can change its decline and develop well, but this Everything happened so suddenly, which made Lu Yawen a little unsure and felt too unreal.
"Did the newspaper sales exceed 40,000 copies today? Wait a minute, I'll check!" Lu Yawen hurriedly took out a note from her handbag. It was densely covered with handwriting, and from time to time there were news posters cut from the newspaper. Above, this is a habit she has developed while working as a reporter over the years. She must carefully record everything, no matter how big or small, and then analyze it carefully to obtain the latest news and clues.
"You don't need to check, other newspapers have done the statistics for us! Those newspapers are also full of food. They don't sell newspapers well, but they focus on our sales. What do you mean? It seems that the development of our newspapers has threatened them. I can't survive! No, I have to ask Poujie Ajian to give me another salary increase, otherwise I will change jobs and make him cry without even crying!" Ni Jian sat up straight, looking super cool.
"No way, Ni Sheng! Do you believe everything in the newspaper? I run a newspaper and you write novels. Most of the newspapers are full of lies. They say that our sales exceeded 40,000. Isn't it to win over other newspapers to collectively boycott our publication?
?" Lu Yawen heard Ni Jiang's words and rolled her eyes: "Ni Sheng, although the red wine is good, don't drink too much, otherwise you will get drunk easily! When you are drunk, you like to talk nonsense!"
Who is Ni Ji?
Great talents, except for a few people such as Shi Zhijian and Jin Yong, never take anyone seriously.
What's more, he was a little unhappy from the beginning when Shi Zhijian asked a woman to be the president and him to be the editor-in-chief. At this moment, Lu Yawen dared to tease him like this, which made Ni Jiang couldn't help but said angrily: "Why, am I just that good in your eyes?"
Unbearable, just an alcoholic?"
Who is Lu Yawen? She knew that Ni Jiang was angry when she saw him like this. She immediately smiled like a flower and said in a coquettish way: "Ni Sheng, are you angry?"
"Angry? No! Do I look like I'm angry?" Ni Jiang was shocked by Lu Yawen's pretty appearance, and when he heard Lu Yawen's sweet and greasy voice, his anger immediately evaporated.
"If you're not angry, why did you stand up?"
"Huh? Yes, why did I stand up? I was sitting just fine just now!" Ni Jiang realized that he had jumped up in anger just now.
Ni Jiang hurriedly sat down and pretended, "I'm trying to reason with you. I want to know who I am in your mind."
"You asked me what kind of person you are in my mind?" Lu Yawen playfully scratched her slightly itchy Qiong nose, and a trace of memories appeared on her pretty face, "You are very famous and talented! In my mind, you are
He is the same person as "Wesley" in your novel! He can go to heaven and earth, and he can solve many problems!"
"Also, you are full of knowledge and knowledge of astronomy and geography. You are also humorous and kind, which makes people feel at ease. Countless beautiful girls in Hong Kong regard you as the lover of their dreams!"
Ni Jiang felt his head was dizzy, and he hurriedly knocked on his forehead, "I'm not that good, am I?"
"How come there isn't? That's the kind of person you are!" Lu Yawen said solemnly, her beautiful eyes twinkling.
"Ahem, why do I always feel that the person who solves problems in heaven and earth should be Sun Houhou? And the guy who has fascinated countless beautiful women and calls them their dream lovers should be Shi Zhijian?"
Lu Yawen smiled slightly and once again showed off her stunning beauty and talent that cost her life, "That's because you are not confident! You should compare yourself with Big Head Gu Long. He is not as good as you in appearance or talent! Even so, there are still many young girls
I love him so much that I write love letters to the newspaper office all day long. The contents of those love letters are so hot that even I am embarrassed to read them!"
Ni Jiang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he swept away the "unconfidence" just now, "You are right! I am more handsome than the big head! He has so many female book fans, how could I not?" He paused, "
But I don’t seem to have received any love letters, but there is a guy who always writes to me and scolds me, asking me why I can encounter polar bears in Antarctica when I write "Wesley"?!"
Lu Yawen couldn't make up any more. She never thought that in order to control these talented and beautiful women, she would have to use a "beauty trap".
Just when Lu Yawen was thinking about how to tell Ni Jiang to get out and let him go back to work on the manuscript---
“Dong dong dong!!!”
Urgent knock on the door!
Then the big-headed Gu Long came in in a panic, with an anxious expression on his face. As soon as he opened his mouth, he said: "I'm sorry, President! I'm guilty! Fire me!"
"Uh, what happened?" Lu Yawen was stunned.
Ni Jiang was also surprised, looking at Gu Long with a strange expression and said: "Big Head, what's wrong with you? Are you jealous when you heard that I'm handsomer than you, and you want to fire yourself and leave? No need! At worst, I can be more generous and make the world's No. 1
I’ll give you a handsome guy!”
"I'm sorry, Miss Lu! I'm even more sorry for Mr. Shi!" Gu Long looked remorseful, "Gao Yong, Shangguan Ding, Wo Longsheng, Sima Ling, Zhuge Qingyun and others who came with me----"
"What happened to them?"
"They were poached by Ming Pao! The Fantasy Sword Book Alliance created by Mr. Shi collapsed!"
