In October, the weather in Xiangjiang was not so hot. After Chu Huan and the others came out of Luohu Port, the Xiangjiang businessmen who did not go to their hometowns to worship their ancestors like Guo Desheng and others said goodbye to Chu Huan one after another and left here. Chu Huan also
I got in the car and went directly back to No. 12 Mount Galley Road.
"How about it? After staying in your hometown for such a long time, you have had enough rest this time, right?"
Seeing Chu Huan, Zhao Yazhi, and Wu Shuhan return, Cao Yunshang asked with a smile on his face.
"It's okay, how are you? Has the matter in Tokyo been resolved?"
Chu Huan sat on the sofa in the living room and asked Cao Yunshang.
Cao Yunshang was receiving the gifts brought to her by Zhao Yazhi and Wu Shuhan at this time. She said indifferently: "It has been solved. The Spring Department Store in Ginza, Tokyo has been under construction for more than a month now. It is estimated that it will take another year to be completed."
Completed.”
After saying that, he wrapped the silk scarf Zhao Yazhi brought to him around his neck, and proudly showed it to Chu Huan: "How is it? Is it beautiful?"
Chu Huan nodded and said: "Beautiful, no matter what kind of decoration it is on your body, it will definitely make this decoration more elegant!"
Facing Chu Huan's compliments, Cao Yunshang showed a satisfied smile: "You can talk!"
Chu Huan called the servant and said: "Ask the kitchen to prepare a bowl of beef brisket noodles for me. During this time in my hometown, I really miss the beef brisket noodles in Xiangjiang!"
The servant went to ask Chu Huan to prepare it, while Cao Yunshang sat arrogantly next to Chu Huan and asked: "What? Is there only beef brisket noodles in Xiangjiang that you miss?"
Chu Huan laughed and said, "You have to wait until night to realize how much I miss you."
Wu Shuhan and Zhao Yazhi looked slightly red and wanted to return to their residences.
"You two, don't leave. I called Axiu and the others before. Let's have a fire together tonight!"
Cao Yunshang stopped the two of them.
When Zhao Yazhi and Wu Shuhan saw what Cao Yunshang said, they stayed.
"I just prepared gifts for them, so there is no need to give them one by one!" Zhao Yazhi said with a smile.
Wu Shuhan asked Chu Huan: "Boss, do you want Sister Xu to bring over the documents that the company needs to process during this period?"
Chu Huan waved his hand and said: "No, we just came back, why don't we have a good rest at home for a day before we talk!"
Although there are still many things to deal with in Xiangjiang, Chu Huan still planned two days of rest for himself.
Cao Yunshang said: "What about the meeting at the Xiangjiang Film and Television Office? Do you want to attend?"
Just when Chu Huan decided to return to Xiangjiang, Xiangjiang Film and Television Office called Black and White Image and invited Chu Huan to attend their meeting at Xiangjiang Film and Television Office.
Today, there is no rating system for Hong Kong movies, but those who understand understand that the absence of a clear rating system is actually a more serious matter. Because there are no clear boundaries, the specifics are stipulated by the Film and Television Administration.
They say that your content does not comply with the rules, that is, it does not comply with the rules, and you do not even have a basis to rely on.
Fortunately, the film censorship system in Hong Kong was relatively loose before. Movies such as Li Hanxiang's films could be released without editing. During this period, the films in Hong Kong were more about controlling their political tendencies rather than violence and SQ.
Of course, movies that are too violent or full of stars will definitely be treated with big scissors.
In 1973, the Film and Television Administration specially published the "Guidelines for Film Censorship Standards", which listed eight film censorship standards and strictly dealt with scenes of violence and crime-inducing scenes.
If everything goes as normal, Hong Kong's film rating system will not appear until 1988.
"Do you know why they held this meeting?" Chu Huan asked Cao Yunshang.
Cao Yunshang said: "I'm not sure. When Fang Jianhui called, he just told me that the Film and Television Department regarded this meeting as very important and said that he would definitely invite you there!"
Wu Shuhan asked worriedly: "Boss, could it be that the Hong Kong government has already started taking action?"
On the plane back to Hong Kong, Chu Huan discussed this matter with Wu Shuhan. If the Hong Kong government really had an idea to target Chu Huan, which direction would they choose.
Externally, Chu Huan has real estate, media, clothing, animation and peripherals, and gaming industries.
Among the three industries, clothing, animation and peripherals, and gaming industry, although the last two are companies owned by Chu Huan's cash cow, because these two companies have tens of thousands of workers, as well as the clothing industry, the Hong Kong government
Even if it is for his own consideration, he should not take action against Chu Huan's three businesses before the two parties completely break up.
Real estate, media!
This was the most likely move by the Hong Kong government. As a result, Chu Huan had just returned to Xiangjiang when he learned that the Film and Television Department was preparing to meet Chu Huan.
The film industry was the first industry that Chu Huan was involved in in Hong Kong. If there were any actions taken against Chu Huan in this regard, which would embarrass Chu Huan, the Hong Kong government would definitely be willing to see it.
It can have the effect of shocking Chu Huan, but it will not really touch Chu Huan's roots and cause the two sides to break up.
"The other party is coming with bad intentions!"
Chu Huan would never think it would be a good thing for the other party to meet him at this time.
Cao Yunshang asked: "Would you like to call Shao Yifu and find out? Shao Yifu has deep connections in Xiangjiang and may know something?"
Chu Huan thought for a moment and waved his hands and said, "I don't want it anymore. I'm going there the day after tomorrow anyway. It's okay to see what tricks they want to play then!"
When Cao Yunshang saw what Chu Huan said, he stopped asking any more questions.
In the evening, Miao Kexiu and others arrived at No. 12 Mount Galley Road. A group of girls gathered together to compare the gifts that Zhao Yazhi and Wu Shuhan brought back to them.
"Brother Huan, Mom and Dad asked me to thank you. They have been very happy during this time!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Lin Qingxia came to Chu Huan and happily preached to Chu Huan.
Chu Huan met Lin Qingxia's parents at Luohu Port and returned together, but after returning to Xiangjiang, they returned directly to their residence in Beacon Hill.
This time they were reunited with their eldest daughter for three months, which made them very happy.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "As long as they are happy!"
"I'm happy, but I keep saying that my eldest sister and uncle's family's life in their hometown is a bit difficult, but they don't want to come to Xiangjiang if they are asked to come."
Lin Qingxia sat next to Chu Huan with an apple, and said incomprehensibly: "Brother Huan, you said that the life here in Xiangjiang is definitely better than that back home. Why are they not willing to come over?"
Chu Huan said with a smile: "People always have some things that are difficult to let go of. If you don't want to come over, just come over. Maybe it looks like a hard life to us, but it's not that hard for them?"
Lin Qingxia nodded and said, "That seems to be the case."
The two chatted for a while. When Lin Qingxia saw Gu Chengxi coming, she knew that Gu Chengxi had something serious and wanted to talk to Chu Huan, so she got up and left.
"Recently, the news in Xiangjiang is not very good. Many English newspapers are saying that Brother Huan, you are making money from people in Xiangjiang, but you use the money to spread money back home. It is a kind of betrayal!"
Gu Chengxi said to Chu Huan worriedly.
Chu Huan already knew about this matter when he was in the capital, but now he only knows it in more detail from Gu Chengxi's mouth.
"Where are the Chinese newspapers in Xiangjiang? What did the Chinese newspapers say?" Chu Huan asked Wu Shuhan.
Wu Shuhan said: "The Chinese newspapers are better. Except for a few newspapers that have just emerged, the other newspapers are silent about your return to your hometown, Brother Huan, and have said nothing."
Most of the English newspapers in Xiangjiang are backed by British-funded consortiums in Xiangjiang, and the ghost guys in Xiangjiang are also willing to subscribe to their newspapers. However, the Chinese newspapers in Xiangjiang are different. They are more like businesses, needing sales and advertising, so
These newspapers had to consider Chu Huan's factors.
It's okay to report Chu Huan's gossip on weekdays, but if you speak out about this kind of thing, it's obviously an enemy of Chu Huan.
Therefore, more Chinese newspapers in Xiangjiang did not report excessively on this matter. They just talked about Chu Huan's participation in the Beijing Football Invitational Tournament and the visiting group normally, and did not report any other content in particular.
"What's going on with those newspapers?"
Chu Huan asked him. Although he knew that no matter what happened, there were exceptions, when exceptions appeared, Chu Huan still wanted to know who was so stubborn.
Gu Chengxi said: "Two of them were newly established newspapers. They probably thought they had nothing to lose and were barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, so they reported the matter with obvious bias. Although the other three were established
It has been around for a long time, but there has been no sales. The idea should be the same as the two newly established ones."
After finishing speaking, Gu Chengxi couldn't help but remind Chu Huandao.
"Brother Huan, don't look at the fact that only these few small newspapers are talking about this matter. In fact, other media in Xiangjiang are also staring at this matter. Even Li's TV reported this matter. I think
If we don't take any action, other newspapers and media in Xiangjiang will definitely follow suit."
Chu Huan understood what Gu Chengxi meant. Chu Huan was not in Xiangjiang before, so the major newspapers in Xiangjiang chose to wait and see this matter. But if Chu Huan returns to Xiangjiang now, they will still allow those tabloids to discredit Chu on this matter.
If Chu Huan is Chu Huan, then there will definitely be many newspapers that think that Chu Huan will not take action on this matter, then other newspapers will definitely follow up and report this matter.
By then, the entire Xiangjiang newspaper industry will report this matter, and then even if Chu Huan wanted to attack them, he would be unable to do so.
No matter how powerful you Chu Huan is, you can't block the entire newspaper industry in Xiangjiang, right?
"Tell the people at the Distribution Association that starting from tomorrow, all newspapers from those five newspapers will be banned from being distributed. I will make it impossible for their newspapers to appear on any newsstand in Hong Kong tomorrow. If there is a newsstand, it will be banned."
Tell him to stop it!"
Chu Huan spoke calmly.
Several small newspapers really think that since they don't have any advertisements, they can boldly publish such news to smear themselves. Then they are really too naive.
In the early years, after the battle between the Fantasy Comics Club and the Xiangjiang Distribution Association, the people in the Xiangjiang Distribution Association had already been honest with Chu Huan, not to mention that Chu Huan now has the largest circulation in Xiangjiang.
The comprehensive newspaper "True News", and the largest circulation film magazine in Hong Kong "Film Fortnightly", etc.
It is so easy to clean up several newspaper offices now.
Gu Chengxi immediately smiled and said: "No problem, I will call the people from the distribution association shortly."
Then Gu Chengxi asked Chu Huan: "What about those English newspapers? You can't just watch them smear you casually, right?"
Chu Huan waved to Cao Yunshang, who was preparing ingredients, and said: "Call Liu Zhiyuan and Chen Tao. Tomorrow, "True News" will send them a list of companies, and then they will short sell these companies to me.
For stocks, I want their company’s stock price to fall below 50% within three days.”
Some of those English newspapers in Hong Kong are themselves listed companies, such as Sing Tao Daily and Ming Pao, and some are independent companies, but the companies behind them must also be listed companies.
If you want to make them feel pain, the best way is to cause their wealth to suffer losses, and then one by one they will be guaranteed to be honest.
Cao Yunshang smiled and said: "No problem, they have been unhappy for a long time. If you hadn't told us before that we should not do anything while you were away from Xiangjiang, I would have wanted to deal with them!"
Chu Huan smiled easily and said: "Now you can take action."
"Um!"
After finishing the matter, Lin Qingxia shouted loudly at the restaurant to light the stove, and Chu Huan and others walked over.
.
Regarding Chu Huan's return to Xiangjiang, it actually appeared in the evening papers of major newspapers in Xiangjiang tonight.
And the headlines they use are almost the same.
'Chu Huan is back!'
Although there are only five short words, many people have already seen the bloody chaos behind them when they read these five words.
During this period, public opinion in Xiangjiang has obviously attracted the attention of many people.
As the richest man in Xiangjiang and one of the most influential individuals in Xiangjiang, it was difficult for outsiders to say anything about Chu Huan when he went to his hometown to represent the Xiangjiang Football Association.
But later Huo Tsarhuang came back with the football team, but Chu Huan stayed in his hometown, which stimulated the hearts of some people. Later, Chu Huan joined the visiting group from Hong Kong and Macao.
All of this actually illustrates Chu Huan's attitude.
In addition, in the past few days, Xiangjiang's English newspapers and some tabloids have continuously reported that Chu Huan is a traitor, which naturally attracted more people's attention.
However, during this period, Chu Huan and the Jiaku Department under Chu Huan's name did not have any explanation for this matter.
No one would think that Chu Huan was acquiescing to this matter, or that he was not making a statement on this matter due to some kind of pressure.
Everyone understood that it was actually people from the Jiaku family who were waiting for Chu Huan to come back. This kind of thing would only have a result after Chu Huan came back.
In addition, everyone who is paying attention to this matter also understands that the day Chu Huan returns to Xiangjiang is actually the time for Chu Huan to start a war with those who slandered him in Xiangjiang.
As for who is the real force behind those people who smeared Chu Huan?
Everyone has their own explanation, maybe it's the Hong Kong government, maybe it's some people in the Hong Kong government, maybe it's the foreign-funded consortium in Hong Kong, maybe it's some people who are satisfied with the current situation in Hong Kong and don't want any changes in Hong Kong.
Anyway, this group is very complicated, so complicated that everyone understands that the dilemma Chu Huan will face this time will not be easily overcome.
"Chu Huan is back!"
At the Changshi headquarters, Sheng Songsheng handed the newspaper in his hand to Li Jiacheng, who had just returned to Xiangjiang, and preached.
"It seems that there is going to be another storm here in Xiangjiang!"
Zhou Qianhe also returned from North America at this time and asked: "Boss, the current public opinion trend towards Chu Huan is obviously not very good. Should our cooperation with Chu Huan be temporarily postponed?"
Sheng Songsheng, Zhou Qianhe and the others already knew from Li Jiacheng that Chu Huan would cooperate with them for a long time.
But now in Xiangjiang, the situation is beginning to become complicated. Zhou Qianhe and Sheng Songsheng are both worried that if the cooperation between Changshi and Chu Huan is made public at this time, it will have some impact on Changshi.
Li Jiacheng waved his hand and said: "We cannot postpone it, and we must be more active. Qianhe, you will contact Wu Shuhan tomorrow and try to implement this matter as quickly as possible!"
Seeing that Li Jiacheng had already made a decision, Zhou Qianhe said nothing more.
However, Sheng Songsheng couldn't help but asked: "Boss, if we announce our cooperation with Changshi at this time, it will not actually provide any timely help to Chu Huan, but will make us fall into the limelight of public opinion. Will it happen?"
Will the gain outweigh the loss?"
Regarding Li Jiacheng's thoughts, Sheng Songsheng could understand. It was just that Chu Huan's current public opinion in Xiangjiang was a bit complicated. Changshi chose to cooperate with Chu Huan at this time, so that he could express his attitude better, but at the same time, it would also push Changshi forward.
Towards the cusp of the storm.
Li Jiacheng said firmly: "This kind of public opinion trend will not have any impact on Chu Huan. When he comes back, the problem will be solved. As for the forces hiding behind it, don't worry about them. As long as Chu Huan does not conflict with the Hong Kong government
If there is a real and complete break here, no one can really cause any substantial damage to Chu Huan.
If we choose to postpone our cooperation with Chu Huan, it will actually terminate the possibility of our continued cooperation with Chu Huan. Such a consequence is something I don't want to see!"
With Li Jiacheng's explanation, Sheng Songsheng finally understood what he meant, and stopped trying to persuade him about the matter. He just asked Li Jiacheng curiously.
"Boss, how do you think Chu Huan will treat these people who are jumping up and down during this period?"
Li Jiacheng smiled contemptuously and said: "These people have become cannon fodder themselves and don't know that at any time or anything, the first person to jump out will always be easily targeted by artillery fire. They are no exception. The Chu Huan people before
I am not in Xiangjiang because I am worried that the people in Xiangjiang will not be able to control the scale well and may have conflicts with the Hong Kong government. Now that Chu Huan is back, according to his character, he will definitely not let these people go."
At this point, Li Jiacheng said to Zhou Qianhe: "Qianhe, mobilize a sum of funds to investigate the companies behind those English newspapers and short their stocks."
Zhou Qianhe first agreed: "No problem."
Then he continued: "Boss, these English newspapers are backed by some British companies, and their power cannot be underestimated. Will shorting their stocks have any impact on us?"
Li Jiacheng smiled and said: "Don't worry, it won't happen. We are just drinking some soup. What they really want to face is Chu Huan."
Sheng Songsheng said with some surprise: "But the combined market value of these companies must be two to three billion Hong Kong dollars. If Chu Huan wants to short them, the amount of funds he has to mobilize is not a small amount?"
Li Jiacheng said confidently: "You don't need to worry about this. I'm afraid he is the only one who knows how much cash Chu Huan has in his hands at this time. For Chu Huan, I can't imagine two to three billion Hong Kong dollars.
It’s just a drop in the bucket!”
Sheng Songsheng showed a surprised expression, while Zhou Qianhe thought about the results of his investigation and acquiesced to Li Jiacheng's inference.

.
"Haha, what a loud tone!"
In an industrial building in Mong Kok, inside a newspaper office called "The Absolute Truth", their president Huang Wenhui was reading tonight's evening edition of "The Truth".
"Chu Huan is back!" Huang Wenhui shook the newspaper in his hand and said to his assistant: "What will happen even if he comes back?
Our "Absolute Truth News" has just been founded, and we have not received any advertisements from the Jiaku Group at all. As long as we can take advantage of the popularity of this news and publish a few more articles, we can get advertisements from those British companies, Chu Huan
What can you do to me?"
"Boss, you are far-sighted. Not only did you find a better source of customers, but you also did not choose to print our newspaper at the Struggle Printing Factory at the beginning. Now even if Chu Huan wants to do something, he has no place to attack us.
.”
Endeavor Printing Factory is now the largest printing factory in Hong Kong. It not only undertakes the printing work of the three major comics under Fantasy Comics, but also prints for "True News", "Tian Tian Daily", "Sing Tao Daily", "Sing Pao" and other newspapers.
The printing work of large newspapers.
To put it simply, Fendou Printing Factory alone can bring an income of 20 to 30 million Hong Kong dollars to the Jiaku family every year, which is more than some listed companies in Hong Kong. This is because several major comics under Fantasy Comics have already been sold in Europe and the United States.
Because I have my own printing house.
"Haha, that's why I said that Chu Huan is actually not a big deal. As long as we don't interact with his business, he has no way of affecting us."
Huang Wenhui preached proudly.
"President, which one will we use for tomorrow's front page?"
the assistant asked.
Huang Wenhui pondered for a moment and said: "Just use 'Chu Huan is the most important traitor' as the headline. As long as Chu Huan's reputation in Xiangjiang is bad, the people of Xiangjiang will not support his business.
When the business in Xiangjiang is gone, I don’t see what else Chu Huan has to be arrogant about."
The assistant said: "Okay, I will call the printing factory now."
Huang Wenhui waved his hand and said proudly: "Go!"
After the assistant left his office, Huang Wenhui sat on his boss's chair, shook his head, smiled and hummed a few lyrics, which showed that he was indeed in a very good mood.
After a while, the phone on Huang Wenhui's desk rang, and a contented Huang Wenhui answered the call. It was a call from another newspaper that was in the same direction as their "Absolute Truth" report.
"Old Qian, I guessed that you must be the first one to call out of anger."
After hearing who the other party was, Huang Wenhui said with a smile, his expression showing the pride of being in control of everything.
Lao Qian's voice on the phone was a little anxious: "Huang Wenhui, now that Chu Huan is back, what do your newspaper offices think?"
"What else can you think about? I have already agreed on the front page of our newspaper tomorrow!" Huang Wenhui said proudly.
"So you really plan to go down hard?" Lao Qian asked in surprise.
"That's natural!" Huang Wenhui said with a smile: "Although Chu Huan is the richest man and the most influential person in Hong Kong, so what, our newspaper and his Jiaku Department do not have any advertising sponsorship.
, even if he wants to deal with us, he can't do it.
Besides, what a great opportunity this is now. We can use Chu Huan's influence to increase the sales of our own newspaper. We can also scold Chu Huan in the newspaper, and we have those big shots supporting us. I really can't think of it.
There is no reason to give up halfway!”
There was a brief silence on Lao Qian's side, and after a while he said: "You are right, such an opportunity is rare. Besides, we newspaper editors are meant to comment, so why should Chu Huan
Don’t let us publish it!”
Huang Wenhui's smile became brighter and brighter as he said: "Yes, that's the truth. I have already thought about it. If Chu Huan dares to attack us, I will do it myself and complain in the newspaper that he is overbearing and arrogant and only knows how to bully.
Those of us who work hard in Hong Kong."
Lao Qian was also thoroughly persuaded by Huang Wenhui and said: "In fact, we don't need to say anything at all. When the time comes, Chu Huan will not be able to cause any blow to us, then at that time the entire Xiangjiang newspaper will follow our pace and report on Chu Huan.
matter.
By then, no matter how influential Chu Huan is, he will not be able to ban the entire newspaper industry in Xiangjiang. Besides, we are not the only ones reporting on this matter, there are also Li TV and those English newspapers in Xiangjiang.
newspaper.
He Chu Huan has the ability to bully them, so what's the point of causing trouble for us!"
"Haha!" Faced with what Lao Qian said, Huang Wenhui laughed loudly and said: "That's the truth. This time we will completely pull down the number one person in Xiangjiang from the altar and let him see that Xiangjiang is not all
Everyone is afraid of him!"
"That's right!" Lao Qian shouted proudly, and then said: "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, I have to hurry up and let the printing factory print tomorrow's front page of our newspaper!"
