In the living room, Chen Xijiu and Lard Boy were sitting together with cigarettes in their mouths. There was also a beautiful girl sitting next to them, but it was Lu Yawen, the female president in charge of "Oriental Daily".
Lu Yawen wore gold-rimmed glasses and a professional suit that showed off her figure, and her proud figure was so exquisite that the eyes of two normal men, Chen Xijiu and Lard Zai, would occasionally glance at her.
Lu Yawen was already accustomed to this kind of gaze. At this moment, she was waiting for Shi Zhijian to appear with a pen and notepad in her hand.
The sound of footsteps sounded, and Shi Zhijian pulled on his slippers and came to the crowd, "Sorry, I just finished washing my feet and was about to go to bed----"
After speaking, Shi Zhijian called the maid and asked the three of them: "Coffee or tea?"
"Tea!" Chen Xijiu said.
"Coffee!" said Lardboy.
"Juice!" Lu Yawen said.
Three choices for three people.
Shi Zhijian was stunned for a moment, feeling that the three of them really didn't treat him as an outsider!
"What's the important thing for you guys to come here so late?" Shi Zhijian found a seat and sat down. When he saw Chen Xijiu and Lard Zai smoking, he couldn't help sniffing.
Recently, in order to ensure the smooth succession of the Shi family, Shi Yufeng stopped Shi Zhijian from smoking at home. Not only did she take away all Shi Zhijian's cigarettes, she even set up a "report and reward" campaign. Any servant who found Shi Zhijian smoking could be rewarded with just one report.
Get a reward of 100 yuan!
So now Shi Zhijian has to hide outside to smoke, and occasionally avoids the servants at home. Even if he hides in the toilet after smoking, he has to open the window to ventilate and disperse the smoke, which makes him very embarrassed!
"It's like this, I have something urgent to come to see you!" Chen Xijiu said, "You asked me to contact Li's TV station to interview Brother Luo, but they called back and said that their schedule was full and they couldn't spare the time! I saw something strange.
, I asked someone to inquire about it, and I didn’t expect that Li’s people actually accepted bribes from Smith in private to prepare for an interview with him. TVB was also preparing to make a program for Smith, called “From the Director of the Land Bureau, to
Member of the Legislative Council'!"
Shi Zhijian was not surprised at all by this news.
TVB boss Shao Daheng and Bailiqu have a close relationship, which can be seen from the last time Shi Zhijian got married.
As for the treachery of Li TV, in addition to financial bribes, this TV station is still controlled by ghosts.
Just imagine, now a Chinese and an Englishman are competing for a seat in the Legislative Council. As a media company, which side will Li TV choose?!
"Since TV stations can't be accessed, let's use radio!" Shi Zhijian pondered for a moment and said, "The TV penetration rate in Hong Kong is not high now, but the radio is different. Almost every household has one, and many Hong Kong people are used to listening to it.
Radio program! In this way, you go to Li's Voice. Although they belong to the same company as Li's TV, they are in competition internally. I think as long as you give them enough money, they should be able to help!"
No matter what era there is "involution", Shi Zhijian is ready to use this involution to break through the containment!
"Okay, I'll try it!"
“It’s not about trying it, it’s about trying it out!”
Chen Xi was stunned for a moment. For the first time, he felt that Shi Zhijian's speech was so powerful and the pressure was so great that he had to lower his head.
As he spoke, Shi Zhijian took out another book and handed it to Chen Xijiu: "This is the novel I wrote for Brother Luo. Let the radio station play it on the program! As for the radio station's previous audio novel program, let them stop it first.
We will help advance liquidated damages and other fees!”
"Uh, novel?" Chen Xijiu took it and took a look, but it was "Isn't the Golden Scale a Thing in the Pool---The Legend of Lei Luo"!
"Brother Jian, what are you-"
"I just made it up to make those listeners happy!"
Chen Xijiu looked through it and saw that it said how Lei Luo struggled step by step from a poor young man to become Inspector Zong Hua! Of course, there was no such thing as stuffing dirty money and eating dirty money, but just Lei Luo's down-to-earth steps one step at a time.
A history of struggle! He did not rise to power by relying on his wife, but by solving crimes! The case of the corpse hidden in the cardboard box, the case of the butcher on a rainy night, and the case of the black dahlia were all bizarre and eye-catching!
Chen Xijiu was completely convinced. He knew that Shi Zhijian was talented and was known as a talented man in Hong Kong, but he didn't expect him to be so powerful.
Shi Zhijian looked at Chen Xijiu's surprised look and accepted it calmly. In fact, the novel he wrote was adapted from the previous classic Hong Kong movie "The Legend of Inspector Lei Luo". He just removed some bad content and replaced it with
Some new content was added, and it was transformed into a biographical novel.
Today's Hong Kong people have very few entertainment programs. In addition to movies they pay to watch, TV has not yet been fully popularized. For them, listening to the radio is the greatest enjoyment. Novels by Jin Yong and Gu Long are often simulcast on the radio.
For those who cannot read.
"What about you, what do you want from me?" Shi Zhijian looked at Lardboy.
Lardboy was stretching his neck curiously to peek at the novel in Chen Xijiu's hand. When he heard Shi Zhijian's question, he quickly crushed the unfinished cigarette in the ashtray, rubbed his hands and said, "Brother Jian, you asked me to arrange someone
Distributing leaflets to build momentum for Brother Luo, we did not expect that Chen Zhichao and Yan Xiong would use the excuses of "gathering to cause trouble," "illegal assembly," and "distributing prohibited items at will" to disperse us! Fortunately, Brother Luo asked the police academy to disperse us.
Students also help to promote it, otherwise they will be blamed!"
Shi Zhijian pinched his chin: "It looks like that old fox in Bailiqu has taken action! Chen Zhichao and Yan Xiong are the only ones who can move them!"
"Then what should we do?" Lardboy asked, "We have printed almost 70,000 to 80,000 copies of the leaflets, and we have only distributed half of them now!"
Shi Zhijian pondered for a moment, "Well, you do it this way! Among the eighteen districts in Hong Kong, the forces of Chen Zhichao and Yan Xiong are mostly concentrated in the four districts of Hong Kong Island! As for the remaining nine districts in Kowloon and the five New Territories districts, Han Sen and Xi
Nine controls! We can carry out publicity and distribution there!"
"I got it, Brother Jian!" Lardboy nodded.
In fact, the reason why Lei Luo was suppressed by Chen Zhichao and Yan Xiong in Hong Kong Island this time was because Lan Gang did not have enough prestige on Hong Kong Island!
Last time, Lan Gang was not successfully instigated by Yan Xiong. Lei Luo was grateful to him and intended to promote Lan Gang to the top, so he transferred Lan Gang directly from the remote New Territories area to the Hong Kong Island area where Yan Xiong used to control the wealth!
Now the sequelae have come out. Hong Kong Island has been governed by Yan Xiong for so many years, and many people are "submissive" to the newly transferred Chief Inspector Lan Gang.
Guju
In addition, now that Chen Zhichao has taken office and re-promoted Yan Xiong to Inspector Hua, Yan Xiong is fanning the flames from behind, and the governance of Hong Kong Island has become even more "difficult."
"What about you, President Lu, what do you want from me?" Shi Zhijian finally focused on Lu Yawen.
While Shi Zhijian was talking to Chen Xijiu and Lard Boy, Lu Yawen silently took notes. When she heard Shi Zhijian asking herself, she put down her pen, pushed up her glasses with her fingers, looked at Shi Zhijian and said: "I have already followed your arrangement.
Mr. Lei of Oriental Daily has done several propagandas, but now The Tiger, Sing Tao Daily, and Ming Pao have begun to write some targeted attack articles, and it is difficult for us as a newspaper to resist!"
After a pause, he added: "If we continue like this, I'm afraid we will be repeatedly attacked by the press and lose our credibility and our right to speak! As you know, this is the lifeblood of a newspaper!"
Shi Zhijian was surprised. He didn't expect Bailiqu's methods to be so sharp, and they even included all three newspapers in Hong Kong!
"If you delay for a few more days, I have already contacted the Industrial and Commercial Daily, which is very valuable in Hong Kong and Macao! They will help out soon!"
""Industrial and Commercial Daily"?" Lu Yawen was stunned for a moment. She did not expect that Shi Zhijian could recruit such powerful reinforcements.
Maybe the circulation of "Business Daily" is not too big, but its core is very powerful, especially in the industrial and commercial circles. If it helps, "Oriental Daily" will be relieved of a lot of pressure.
After dealing with the problems of the three people one by one, Shi Zhijian added some targeted opinions, and finally told the three people: "The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard! There is only one week left, and the war is coming. Can Brother Luo be able to
To rise to the top and become the first Chinese member of the Legislative Council, it all depends on everyone’s hard work!”
As he spoke, Shi Zhijian stood up and took a deep breath: "Should we change history, or will we be changed by history? We will find out in seven days!"
Chen Xijiu, Lard Boy and Lu Yawen were invisibly affected by Shi Zhijian's majestic and majestic momentum, which was striving to change history, and they couldn't help but get excited.
When leaving, Lu Yawen couldn't help but take another look at Shi Zhijian. She hoped in her heart that Shi Zhijian could stop her and talk to her a few more words, even just a few casual words.
But no.
Shi Zhijian did not call her, but instead called Chen Xijiu and Lard Boy.
This made Lu Yawen feel disappointed.
Chen Xijiu and Lard Zai were slightly stunned. Seeing Shi Zhijian's serious expression, they thought he had something important to explain, so they hurriedly pretended to listen carefully.
Shi Zhijian pinched his nose and looked at the two of them, "Jianghu is here to help, please lend me a cigarette!"
…
"Speaking of which, last time Detective Lei Luo solved the famous 'Corpse Hidden in a Cardboard' case and was highly commended by the top brass of the police force! Just when he was washing up and getting ready to go to bed, the phone rang!
!But another big case is coming!"
The male radio host of Li's Voice was wrapped in a blanket, with an expression that was both scared and excited. He recited into the loudspeaker the "new and exciting" and "thrilling and suspenseful" personal biography novel "Golden Scales Are Not a Thing in the Pool" written by Shi Zhijian in a cadence.
--The Legend of Lei Luo"!
Shi Zhijian's writing is not as good as that of Jin Yong, Ni Ji and other great writers, but he is well versed in the way of "enjoyment", and he also understands that it is essential for a novel to be a hit and capture the audience's "sense of expectation"!
Coupled with the "detective" and "horror" elements of this novel, as well as the black and white battle of wits and courage among the police, the Hong Kong audience was mesmerized!
For a time, as the protagonist of this novel, Lei Luo has become an idol in the minds of many people. Even many people who have come into contact with Lei Luo can't help but wonder if the Lei Luo they know and the Lei Luo in the novel are the same person?
!
No matter what, under Shi Zhijian's shameless flattery, Lei Luo directly transformed into "Hong Kong Sherlock Holmes" by relying on a random novel!
At the same time, Lu Wenya's "Oriental Daily" directly opened an editorial column called "Pointing to Bingbing---Let's take a look at what Luo Ge said"!
The column published some of Lei Luo's comments on Hong Kong's existing laws and regulations, especially Lei Luo's live statement. In the program, he created a virtual character "Extralegal Madman Zhang San" according to Shi Zhijian's wishes, telling how Zhang San escaped sanctions with the help of the law.
The short story popularizes legal knowledge to the public with humor and wit, and is well received by readers!
In order to support this column of "Oriental Daily", "Industrial and Commercial Daily", which has always been published with a high profile, actually "reprinted" the story of Zhang San, an outlaw maniac, on the next day! Once again, Lei Luo's column was pushed to a new level!
All of a sudden, everyone in Xiangjiang knew that this former Inspector Lei was not only an expert in solving crimes, but also had a thorough knowledge of the law. He was simply extremely talented!
Just when the public had numerous praises for the talented Inspector Badou Lei, Lei Luo followed Shi Zhijian's arrangement and personally took to the streets to donate food and clothes to the poor people, once again demonstrating his image of loving the people like a son!
As Lei Luo's competitor, Ghost Smith finally knows what "crisis" is!
He thought that with his status as a ghost guy, he would be sure to win the parliamentary seat this time, but he didn't expect Lei Luo to be so powerful and keep pressing on him step by step!
Fortunately, he had surrendered before Bailiqu and Bailibing.
In response to the broadcast of "The Legend of Lei Luo" on the radio station, Bailiqu used his status as a judicial boss to directly order Li's Voice Radio Station to stop broadcasting the program on the grounds that an old lady suffered a myocardial infarction due to the horror while listening to the program!
Immediately afterwards, in response to the "Lei Luo's Statement" column launched by "Oriental Daily", Bailiqu contacted the News Media Review Department and suspended this column for rectification on the grounds that it "affects the social harmony of Hong Kong"!
Finally, in response to Lei Luo's personal charity work on the streets, Bailiqu instructed Chen Zhichao, Yan Xiong and others to use the excuse of "maintaining traffic safety before the New Year", so that Lei Luo could only "relieve poverty" in remote areas of the New Territories and Kowloon in Hong Kong.
, cannot appear in downtown areas.
At this moment, "power prevails over all" is vividly reflected!
Under Bailiqu's deliberate suppression, Lei Luo's soaring momentum finally fell! At the same time, Ghost Smith frequently appeared on TV and newspapers to promote his views, and also organized speech conferences on the streets, named "Smith Tells You".
Build momentum for yourself to get a parliamentary seat!
Just like that, the battle between Lei Luo and Smith started directly!
The people of Hong Kong are divided on both sides. Some support Lei Luo, while others support ghost man Smith. Generally speaking, the Chinese in Hong Kong have a large number of people, and the number of people supporting Lei Luo is several times greater than that of Smith!
But as Smith himself said, Hong Kong is a colony of the British Empire. The people in Hong Kong don’t have any say in who will be elected as a member of the parliament in the end. It is the senior government officials who decide this matter!
