When I am reborn in Hong Kong, I just want to lie down

Under the expectant gaze of President Liang, Li Bu said slowly: "President Liang, you are the boss of this newspaper."

"Yes, I founded this newspaper."

“How much is this newspaper worth now?”

"It's worth fifty thousand." President Liang hesitated.

"Sure?"

"About thirty thousand."

"I do not believe."

"Probably thirty thousand."

"Bald Liang, don't be so dishonest. Tell me how much it is."

"I still owe more than 2 yuan for printing expenses."

"Look at you, not only is this newspaper not making any money, it also owes [-] yuan. Isn't it like a dog?"

"Huh? No, wait a minute and let me think about it."

"What are you thinking? Do you owe more than 2 yuan?"

"Yeah, but..."

"If you don't want to, do you owe more than 2 yuan? Do you think so?"

"Yes, but."

"Then do you want to revitalize the newspaper office?"

"I think, but..."

"No, but if you want to recuperate, just listen to me."

"Yes, then tell me."

"Now, do you think my novel manuscript fee is a hundred yuan per thousand words?"

"Yes, I did, but what does it have to do with revitalizing my newspaper?"

"I'm going to write 70 words. That's [-] in royalties, right?"

"Yes, it's [-] royalties."

"If I use this novel to invest in your newspaper, which is on the verge of bankruptcy, do you think it will revitalize the newspaper?"

"Then I have no shares."

"That's right. That's good. I'll charge half of the royalties. In this way, you keep [-]% of the shares and continue to be your president. I will publish the content and you will be responsible for the management, just like Ming Pao. Do you think it is sharp or not? "

"It's okay, it's going to go bankrupt anyway." President Liang touched his head, always feeling that something was wrong and couldn't figure it out.

Li Bu continued: "If there is no problem, you can ask a lawyer to come over and sign the contract."

……

Soon after, President Liang called a familiar lawyer surnamed Luo, and signed the contract according to the agreed terms. The signing was completed smoothly. Later, he still had to register the equity. Li Bu also entrusted Lawyer Luo to handle this together. This matter was settled together after the expenses were settled, and he had no money on him.

When the time came to three o'clock, people from the newspaper office came back one after another. They saw a young man standing next to President Liang, which felt a little strange. This newspaper office has not hired new people for a long time.

I learned from Bald Liang that they went to collect news. The newspaper now has no dedicated reporters. These editors, who are both reporters and editors, often go out. In Li Bu's words, even if they go out to fish, you don't know.

When everyone arrived, Bald Liang clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and then said: "This little Li Sheng will be the new major shareholder of our Industrial Newspaper in the future, and will be responsible for providing literary content in the future. Now , let Xiao Lisheng talk about it."

Li Bu stepped forward, cleared his throat, and the leader spoke. Everyone understood, and said: "Hello everyone, my name is Li Bu. From today on, I am a member of the Industrial Newspaper. The sales of our newspaper have been unable to increase. This It has seriously affected the development of the newspaper, which shows that our previous model was not good and the direction was wrong. Today, I join the big family of Industrial Newspaper and I must change the status quo. Let us work together to get out of this quagmire."

Bald Liang next to him took the lead in applauding, and other newspaper staff also applauded sparsely.

Seeing that these people were not enthusiastic, Li Bu raised his hand and pressed it to stop the applause. He then said: "Now our industrial newspaper has reached a moment of life and death. We have to change. If we don't change, we will go bankrupt at any time. Now let's start a business together." A meeting."

Turning around and looking at Bald Liang, President Liang saw Li Bu looking towards him. He knew it was him who was speaking, so he cleared his throat and called a few people into his office.

In the office, Li Bu said to these people: "I have a plan. First of all, we need to change the name of our newspaper. Don't call it Industrial Newspaper. The public will not buy it when they see it. If you read other people's newspapers, Ming Pao, South China Morning Post, Sing Tao Daily, Oriental Daily, right? We are called Industrial News. How many workers in Hong Kong read the newspaper? How many factories in Hong Kong read our Industrial News? So we must change it." Li Bu was categorical, leaving no room for doubt. ; Baldy Liang also nodded, and several other team leaders also nodded, approving the name change.

"There is also a problem with our content. It is called an industrial newspaper. What it reports is not the price of raw materials or the industrial development of various regions. It is all about selfishness and selfishness. So we just report on these, right? The positioning is not accurate, that is. It’s a fool’s errand and can’t grasp the point. Not only do we need to change the name, but we also need to change the version and reposition ourselves.”

……

After a two-hour meeting, we came to a new conclusion. The Industrial Newspaper was renamed Today Morning Post, positioning itself as mass news and more entertainment-oriented. Originally, there was no money or reputation, and no one would submit novels, essays, etc. Now the first The serialized novels were provided by Li Bu.

It is impossible for the revised version to be launched the next day. It needs to be reported to the relevant departments. These old employees are very familiar with these things. This time I heard that the newspaper was going to be revised and made available to the public. Everyone was very happy. This is a bit embarrassing for everyone. There are only seven or eight people in the entire newspaper, and each person holds multiple positions. The average age is 40 years old. Privately, Li Bu complained that he had made a huge loss. This was a sunset newspaper, but he had nothing to gain, so he had no choice but to admit it.

The next day, two pieces of news were published on the front page of the Industrial Newspaper. One was that the Industrial Newspaper would be renamed Today Morning Post in five days, and the content would undergo major changes. The second was to publish an introduction to the novel Sword Shatters Time and Space, written by Buyi. Mountain man.

According to Li Bu's request, the five-day revision and the introduction of the novel will be published on the front page. Sword Broken Spacetime will select some of the better parts and publish them to build momentum for the novel and increase the popularity of the new newspaper.

Li Bu returned to the rental house on the rooftop of the tenement building. He was exhausted today. His body was too weak and he was malnourished for a long time. He would not get better in the short term. When Lin Jiacheng saw Li Bu coming back, he looked tired and asked with a smile: "Abu, you're not right, you're not right, have you been squeezed out by the rich woman today? Young man, you should pay attention to your health."

Looking at the old-fashioned Cheng, he felt dumbfounded. He turned around and ignored him. In another hour, he was going to leave the stall and sell the remaining bags as soon as possible to get some money back. Otherwise, he would have to keep an eye on the newspaper. There is no income during this period.

Seeing that Li Bu ignored him, he looked at the old newspaper in his hand without interest. The novels and gossip on it were still very attractive to him. At this stage, in an era lacking entertainment, newspapers are still everyone's first choice, followed by radio, and then Television, and eventually movies, were too few ways to be entertained.
