"Zhenbao" already has a group of loyal readers of their own.
Among the loyal readers of "Zhen Bao", they are divided into two categories. The first category is readers who pay attention to financial news, and the second category is readers who pay attention to entertainment news.
In terms of finance, Gu Chengxi invited experts from the Department of Economics of the University of Hong Kong to analyze the current financial situation in Hong Kong, as well as reports from various industries. These are actually Gu Chengxi's own abilities.
In terms of entertainment, Li Xiaolong's exclusive interview gave "True News" a good start, followed by exclusive interviews with black and white video artists, which also attracted many readers.
Readers who pay attention to these two aspects can be people from all walks of life, and there are even many intersections.
As the morning came, many people came to the newsstand and bought a copy of "True News".
"Strange, when did "True News" publish its comics?"
When some people saw the contents of the supplement of "Zhenbao", they all showed suspicious expressions.
It turned out that on the front page of the supplement of "Zhen Bao", there was actually a four-frame cartoon.
The first cartoon shows a rich and luxurious woman with various luxury bags at her feet. Next to the woman, there is a polite and decent man.
The two still had a conversation.
Woman: Let’s break up!
Man: Why?
Woman: We are not suitable!
When it came to the second picture, the content in the comic was reversed. It was still the same woman, but now she no longer had the luxurious clothes on her body, and she looked a little embarrassed. Naturally, there was also the man.
The image of the man is a little different. There is a Rolls Royce parked next to the man!
Woman: So you broke up with me because you are rich!
Man: I only got the money after we broke up!
Woman: I don’t listen, I don’t listen!
In the third picture, this time there are no images of men in the cartoon, only women. The woman is sitting at a press conference, with media reporters swarming under her.
Woman: I was abandoned by Chu Jiahu. Chu Jiahu is a scumbag. Let’s resist him together!
In the fourth picture, a woman is sitting at her desk at home, writing something. Next to her, the man has become a ghost state.
Woman: I want to write about you, I want to write about you!
Ghost Man: I really have money after breaking up with you!
Woman: My name is Dongfang Ri, so I won’t listen, I won’t listen!
A simple four-frame cartoon made all readers of "True News" smile knowingly after seeing it, and some even couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"I'm finally convinced. How could this Chu Huan's head be so big that he could come up with such an idea? I'm afraid Oriental Daily will be in trouble this time!"
Everyone understood that this was Chu Huan's counterattack against "Oriental Daily", and it was a standard Chu Huan-style counterattack.
"This is the kind of counterattack Chu Huan should have. It makes me happy to see it!"
These people thought of Chu Huan's performance when he counterattacked Huang Yulang.
"Oriental Daily" Editor-in-Chief Office!
The editor-in-chief, Hu Xiong, was sitting there with a gloomy expression, his chest rising and falling slightly, and his thin figure did not have much deterrence under such circumstances.
But it is certain that he was very angry at this time.
Because there was a piece of "True News" in front of Hu Xiong, and the place where it was spread out was exactly where the four-frame cartoon was.
"Chu Huan!"
Finally, Hu Xiong gritted his teeth and said Chu Huan's name.
"Editor-in-Chief, what should we do now?"
Hu Xiong's secretary Su Fen asked softly.
Even Su Fen can see the current situation. Chu Huan has once again resorted to the same tactics he used when he had a verbal spat with Huang Yulang. He does not respond directly to you at all, but responds to your attack in an unimaginable way.
.
But the way Chu Huan responded was very eye-catching, and he also liked to hear it.
No one can refuse Chu Huan's approach.
As a journalist, Su Fen also understood that Chu Huan had achieved the goal he had in mind in this way, which was to successfully make himself a world-shaking change in his reputation among the general public.
Especially today, Chu Huan's response to "Oriental Daily" actually portrayed "Oriental Daily" as a vain scumbag. Regardless of whether "Oriental Daily" herself has such an image, Chu Huan has already
It is defined as this image in the comics.
In this case, those readers, those people in Xiangjiang, also preconceptionally identified this matter at the first time.
This is the same as when the three major newspapers immediately reported that Chu Huan triggered the stock market crash. Regardless of whether it was Chu Huan or not, anyway, we defined it in advance, so many people would think it was!
People won't like the image of a vain scumbag, and naturally people won't like the "Oriental Daily" either!
Chu Huan just used a four-frame cartoon, which was enough to change Chu Huan's image in the minds of the people in Hong Kong, and also blackmailed "Oriental Daily"!
"Don't he like to sue people? Now we will sue him immediately and sue him for defamation!" Hu Xiong shouted loudly.
Su Fen said in a low voice: "Well, we have no way to sue him. In the comics, Chu Huan did not name the woman in the comics and said that the woman in the comics is our Oriental Daily. There is no way to sue him!"
Bang bang bang!
Hu Xiong knocked on the "Zhenbao" on the table and said loudly: "He has already said it is called Dongfang Ri, doesn't he mean us?"
Su Fen could only continue to whisper: "Isn't Dongfang Daily Dongfang Daily? And if we sue Chu Huan, wouldn't it just let everyone see this newspaper? Do you know about this?"
Hu Xiong sat there and gasped, "Can we just watch Chu Huan slander our Oriental Daily like this?"
Su Fen didn't answer this time because she didn't know how to counterattack someone like Chu Huan who didn't follow the rules.
You said that if they attack Chu Huan in the same way as Chu Huan, Chu Huan has the entire "Fantasy Comics" behind him, what do they have?
But if we continue to fight back in a regular way, there is no guarantee what kind of cartoon counterattack Chu Huan will come up with in the future. Maybe it won't be long before their "Oriental Daily" really becomes the second Huang Yulang.
Hu Xiong obviously also thought of this, "Dig for information, dig for me hard, I want to kill Chu Huan, I must kill Chu Huan!"
What could Su Fen say? He could only nod his head to send someone to do it immediately.
Only then did Hu Xiong feel a little relieved.
Looking at Su Fen who had not yet left, he asked, "Why are you still here?"
Su Fen glanced at Hu Xiong with some worry, and reminded: "Well, you are going to see the lawyer today, the necessary procedures before the trial, to see if there is any possibility of reconciliation between the two parties!"
Chu Huan's lawsuit against the three major newspapers is not just a matter of talk, but the entire prosecution process takes a long time. Even according to the laws of Hong Kong, according to such a case between Chu Huan and the three major newspapers, it must be done before
Before the trial, the plaintiff and the defendant have a mediation process, which is to see if the two parties can resolve the matter privately, so as not to waste public resources!
Hu Xiong suddenly felt his blood pressure rising, "Mediation? Mediation is nothing. We have settled this lawsuit with Chu Huan!"
Seeing Hu Xiong's attitude, Su Fen said nothing, reminded Hu Xiong of the time for mediation, and left Hu Xiong's office.
...
North Point Sing Tao Building!
Hu Xian naturally also saw the contents of "True Report".
At the same time, Situ Yi, the editor-in-chief of "Sing Tao Daily", was sitting opposite Hu Xian and said with a somewhat complicated expression: "Fortunately, "Oriental Daily" and Chu Huan are facing each other. If it were us, even I wouldn't
Know how to deal with Chu Huan’s tricks!”
Hu Xian leaned on the sofa and asked curiously: "What is the relationship between Gu Chengxi of "True News" and Chu Huan? Now "True News" is almost becoming the official spokesperson of Chu Huan!"
Situ Yi knew a little about Gu Chengxi when he arrived and said: "This Gu Chengxi was a reporter for "Chengbao" before. When Chu Huan was kicked out of the Chu family, he had already interviewed Chu Huan.
, and also interviewed Chu Huan many times. The two parties should have already had a good relationship at that time."
Hu Xian nodded slightly and continued to ask: "How much do you know about Gu Chengxi's personal background?"
Situ Yi thought for a moment and said, "I really haven't paid much attention to this!"
Then Situ Yi curiously asked Hu Xian: "President, is there something wrong?"
Hu Xian asked with a smile: "I still know a little bit about the predecessor of "True News". If the person who acquired "True News" is Gu Chengxi, then where did this Gu Chengxi get so much money?
If it was acquired by someone else, why would the other party trust Gu Chengxi so much to directly mention a not-so-well-known reporter to the position of editor-in-chief?"
Situ Yi is also a very smart person. After hearing what Hu Xian said, he immediately understood what the other party meant.
"President, you mean...the boss behind "True News" is Chu Huan?"
Hu Xian said with a complicated expression: "I just think so, but whether it is specific or not remains to be investigated!"
Situ Yi said with some amazement: "If the boss behind "True News" is really Chu Huan, then the game Chu Huan plays this time will be too big!"
Hu Xian asked: "By the way, what do you think of this lawsuit between us and Chu Huan?"
Situ Yi said with some embarrassment: "Actually, it's not easy to fight. Chu Huan's legal team is too luxurious. And thinking about this matter now, we were indeed a little too anxious at the beginning. In any case, it would trigger the stock market crash.
This matter has nothing to do with Chu Huan. I think his legal team will definitely seize this point and attack us desperately.
in addition......"
"What else?" Hu Xian asked.
"In addition, Chu Huan is a bit evil. We have seen many businessmen of all kinds in Xiangjiang over the years. As the saying goes, shopping malls are like battlefields, and victory or defeat is also a matter of military strategists. But in this Chu Huan, he broke into our field of vision.
From the beginning, it seems that I have never heard of Chu Huan having any failures."
Situ Yi analyzed.
Hu Xian sighed and said, "You mean, we must pay Chu Huan 10 million this time?"
Situ Yi did not reply. Anyway, in his opinion, the winning rate of "Sing Tao Daily" in this matter was not very high.
Hu Xian rubbed her eyebrows and said: "I understand, you should go about your own business first!"
Situ Yi stood up and left Hu Xian's office.
Hu Xian was in a dilemma at this time. Judging from the current situation, they are likely to lose this lawsuit. If this is the case, they will not only have to compensate Chu Huan 10 million for mental damages, but also have to publish it in the newspaper.
Apologize to Chu Huan.
If we choose to settle with Chu Huan outside the court now, we may pay some 10 million yuan in mental damages, but we will definitely still have to publish an apology in the newspapers.
In other words, there is a high possibility that "Sing Tao Daily" will publish an apology in the newspaper now.
Of course, if this lawsuit is won, then all worries will be gone.
But can this lawsuit really be won?
At this time, Hu Xian did not have the confidence.
Then she looked at the time and realized that it was already time for reconciliation outside the hall. Hu Xian had never thought of going there in person before, so she just asked her secretary to go there.
Anyway, neither party has any intention of settling out of court.
But now, Hu Xian thought for a moment and walked out of her office in person.
The out-of-court settlement was conducted at Luo Decheng's law firm.
But Luo Decheng was still a little surprised when he saw Hu Xian coming in person.
"Boss Hu, actually came here in person!"
Hu Xian said with a smile: "Since it is an out-of-court mediation, the parties involved should naturally come over!"
Luo Decheng said with a smile: "So, Miss Hu is ready to accept out-of-court mediation?"
Hu Xian said: "Always listen to Chu Huan's conditions."
Luo Decheng said: "I'm really sorry. Ah Huan's company has something to do and he hasn't come over. He means that as long as your newspaper can pay for his mental loss and publish an apology in the newspaper, he will withdraw his support.
The lawsuit filed by Sing Tao Daily also applies to the other two newspapers!"
Hu Xian asked: "What do the people from Oriental Daily and Cheng Bao say?"
Luo Decheng said: "Oriental Daily has made it clear that it will not accept Chu Huan's conditions and has decided to go to court with Chu Huan. Cheng Bao, although it has not made its position clear, should not accept it either.
Conditions for joy!”
Hu Xian nodded slightly, then smiled and said to Luo Decheng: "Luo Dazhuang, this is not the first time we have dealt with each other. Please tell me the truth about this matter. If our "Sing Tao Daily" is willing to compensate Chu Huan 10 million
Hong Kong dollars, but not publishing an apology in the newspaper, what do you think?"
Luo Decheng said helplessly: "Boss Hu, do you think Chu Huan will be the one who lacks 10 million? And you and I both know that the importance of this matter is not the 10 million, but your login."
Apologize!"
Hu Xian just asked a tentative question. After hearing what Luo Dechen said, she understood the meaning and said: "Okay, I will consider this matter again!"
Luo Decheng reminded: "Although there are still three months before the trial, if you think about it, Boss Hu, it is best to make a decision quickly. I know Chu Huan's character. This person never does anything uncertain.
The most important thing is that after this period of fermentation, you and I both understand that the stock market crash cannot be triggered by Chu Huan alone."
Hu Xian thanked: "I know about this, thank you Luo Dazhuang!"
...
In Chu Huan's office in Jiahu Building, a man with a bent attitude and a sincere attitude came - Ma Shixing from the Distribution Association!
In fact, after what happened at the Yunhai convenience store, Ma Shixing wanted to come to see Chu Huan, but Chu Huan did not see him right away!
By this time, Ma Shixing had long since taken the initiative to persuade him.
"Master Huan, what happened before was all caused by Huang Yulang. This time we really know we were wrong!"
After meeting Chu Huan, Ma Shixing expressed his mistake directly and sincerely.
Chu Huan put down the pen in his hand, looked at Ma Shixing with a smile, and said: "I don't think Huang Yulang is enough for your distribution association to take action against Fantasy Comics, right?"
Although Chu Huan already knew the list of the Avengers that Huang Yulang belonged to, but now that Ma Shixing was here to admit his mistakes, Chu Huan naturally wanted to know whether Ma Shixing was sincere in admitting his mistakes.
Ma Shixing's expression changed slightly, but he thought that the power of the person behind Huang Yulang was too great, so he finally said: "It was indeed Huang Yulang who found us. At that time, we were also obsessed with it. After being bewitched by Huang Yulang, we completely forgot about it...
..."
Chu Huan pointed to the door of his office impatiently, "It's time to leave!"
Anger suddenly rose in Ma Shixing's heart. He was already so humble and humble, but Chu Huan was still so arrogant!
But this anger disappeared just as quickly as it came.
"Master Huan, if you are unhappy with something, just say it. Even if you beat me, I will have no problem. Please Master Huan, please don't argue with us this time!"
Chu Huan chuckled: "Are you arguing with you? The Distribution Association stopped the delivery of "Fantasy Comics". If I hadn't contacted Yunhai Chain, I'm afraid, Boss Ma, you would have been counting money at home now, right?"
When Ma Shixing saw Chu Huan's reply, he hurriedly said: "Young Master Huan is speaking too harshly. We are just earning some hard-earned money, how can we compare with you, Young Master Huan!"
Chu Huan shook his head and said: "Okay, you'd better tell these nonsense to those girls on Bolan Street, and leave my office now!"
Can Ma Shixing leave? Of course he can't leave!
The distribution of "Fantasy Comics" is a big business. I have made this money before, but now it is impossible for Ma Shixing to let it go. Besides, if I solve this matter by myself, I am afraid that Mediterranean and others will
I can no longer allow myself to sit in the position of president of this distribution association!
Thinking of this, Ma Shixing could only say helplessly: "Actually, when Huang Yulang came to see me, he told me that he had people from the Yihe Keswick family behind him, so I believed what he said!"
Chu Huan nodded with satisfaction. Since he was here to admit his mistakes, he should have an attitude of admitting his mistakes. It would be meaningless if he was still as secretive as before.
"Boss Ma, let's sit down and chat!"
Hearing that Chu Huan changed his attitude, Ma Shixing immediately smiled.
"Thank you so much, Master Huan, thank you so much, Master Huan!"
Chu Huan waved his hand and said: "Don't thank me yet. It is not impossible for me to continue to use your distribution association, but your previous behavior has caused losses to me. There must be an explanation for this!"
Ma Shixing immediately said: "No problem, as long as it can calm you down, Mr. Huan, whatever you say is up to you!"
Before coming, Ma Shixing was prepared for heavy bleeding.
Chu Huan smiled: "To put it bluntly, the fundamental reason for today's situation is because Huang Yulang interfered with it. Am I right, Boss Ma!"
Ma Shixing immediately nodded and said: "Yes, it's all because of Huang Yulang's attack on the street. If it hadn't been for him, how could we have offended you, Mr. Huan!"
Chu Huan smiled and said: "In this case, we will reach a consensus, and the next thing will be much easier to handle."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! A bad premonition arose in Ma Shixing's heart, "Master Huan, what do you mean?"
"Since Huang Yulang asked you to increase the sales share of our "Fantasy Comics", you are willing to distribute "Fantasy Comics" to us, so now it is appropriate for you to increase the sales share of Yulang Books!"
Chu Huan lectured leisurely.
It turned out to be like this... Ma Shixing originally thought that Chu Huan wanted to cause hemorrhage and reduce the distribution share, but he didn't expect that now he wanted to use his own methods to treat others, so that
Increase the sales share of "Little Rascals" yourself.
Huang Yulang, you bastard, why do you have to provoke Chu Huan when you say you have nothing to do?
Are you okay now?
I finally know what it means to shoot yourself in the foot!
Although I still think so, Ma Shixing really doesn't want to be involved in this matter at this time. They previously built a Yunhai convenience store for "Fantasy Comics". If they target Huang Yulang again now, what if?
To bring out something else?
"Young Master Huan, you are fighting like gods. We people actually just want to earn a hard-earned money. After this lesson, we really don't have the guts to offend you people again, and behind Huang Yulang's back is Yihe.
..."
"So Boss Ma thinks that I, Chu Huan, am easy to deal with!" The smile on Chu Huan's face disappeared and she said dissatisfiedly.
"No!" Ma Shixing hurriedly defended: "I really know how ridiculous my previous behavior was. Please please Master Huan spare us this time!"
Chu Huan waved his hand and said: "Well, since Boss Ma doesn't want to do this, I won't force it. Boss Ma, you should go back!"
Ma Shixing was speechless. This Chu Huan was really difficult to deal with. If Chu Huan was not satisfied with his answer, he would drive her away.
How can we talk about this!
"Then I'll find another time to visit Young Master Huan!" Ma Shixing still wanted to see if he could wait until Chu Huan's anger subsided, or if he could find some kind of intermediary who could make peace for him!
Chu Huan lowered his head and continued reading the documents!
Ma Shixing left Jiahu Building angrily!
When he returned to the tea restaurant, he saw that everyone else from the Distribution Association was here.
Mediterranean asked Ma Shixing: "How was the negotiation with Chu Huan?"
Ma Shixing shook his head helplessly and said: "We haven't reached an agreement yet, but don't worry, I will continue to work hard!"
But after finishing speaking, Ma Shixing found that Mediterranean and others did not show angry expressions.
"Everyone, if you heard me, I'm telling you that Ma Shixing is no longer reliable!"
At this time, Mediterranean turned its back to Ma Shixing and preached to other distributors.
"Mediterranean, what do you mean?" Ma Shixing asked directly.
Mediterranean turned around and faced Ma Shixing and said, "What do you mean? I just want to tell you that from now on you are no longer the president of our distribution association. Not only that, but your business must also be given away. From now on you can no longer set foot in this world."
industry!"
Ma Shixing was stunned, and then became furious: "Mediterranean, do you know what you are talking about?"
Mediterranean responded directly: "Of course I know, but do you know what you are doing? I asked you to negotiate with Chu Huan, but you are still there to protect Huang Yulang, regardless of the interests of our brothers!"
Ma Shixing immediately said: "When did I protect Huang Yulang? I just don't want what happened at Yunhai Convenience Store to happen again!"
Mediterranean sneered, "That sounds nice, but do you know that just before you went to find Chu Huan, the newsstand guys in Xiangjiang had already sent representatives to go to Chu Huan, saying that they were willing to bypass us and pick him up alone?
"Fantasy Comics", if this is the case, do you know what the result will be? The result is that other newspapers will follow suit. By then, will there be room for our distribution association to make money in the whole of Hong Kong? "
Ma Shixing said: "They dare. Without our distribution association, they wouldn't even be able to get a newspaper!"
"Haha!" Mediterranean said: "What a big tone. There are so many newsstands in Xiangjiang. We don't care about one or two. Now that they have united, can you not care about it? Or do you want all brothers to do it?
No food to eat with you?"
After all, Ma Shixing misjudged one thing, that is, everyone is interested in profit. They, the people in the distribution association, had been compensated by Huang Yulang before, so they could not be said to have suffered any losses.
But those newsstand guys are different. They have no one to compensate them. Now that the Distribution Association has fallen out with "Fantasy Comics" because of their own affairs, they have to bear the losses. This is unacceptable to them.
So naturally they can't just sit back and watch this happen.
In fact, Ma Shixing miscalculated one thing, that is, he thought he was the first person to see Chu Huan from the distribution association, but in fact the first person to see Chu Huan was the Mediterranean Sea.
Although Ma Shixing's men attacked Yunhai Convenience Store and did not hurt Zhu Xiaozhao, Chu Huan would not let him get away with anything after doing such a thing.
When they were in Jiahu Building just now, Chu Huan gave Ma Shixing one last chance, but Ma Shixing didn't take it. So now, Ma Shixing has naturally lost his position as the president of the Distribution Association.
As I have said many times before, the Distribution Association is more like a social organization. Since Ma Shixing has lost power, these people are naturally eyeing Ma Shixing's territory!
