We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?
Chapter 48 Declaration of Excellence 2
When we woke up early the next day, almost all newspapers reported on the grand event of the Burlesque Times premiere last night, especially the changes that the Film and Television Oriental Cinema had taken to change the system of the Hong Kong film industry.
For such reports, based on previous experience, they will definitely sell well, but this time it really caused all the newspapers in Hong Kong to encounter a Waterloo, because another major event attracted the attention of all Hong Kong people.
"The new tycoon, the boss behind Film and Television Oriental wants to acquire Wharf"!
The report by Oriental Daily caused an uproar in Hong Kong. Even though they knew it would be a hot seller, they increased their printing efforts, but all 30 copies of the newspaper were sold out before noon.
You must know that Oriental Daily's usual sales volume is only about 12 copies. Editor-in-chief He printed copies at once, which is considered very courageous. I thought that they would be sold out before noon. The entire Oriental Daily was so busy with calls to urge the goods to be suspended that even the editors asked their bosses to arrange to answer the phone.
There was a lot of restlessness outside, but inside Chief Editor He's office, it was a completely different world.
He and Li Xiangyang were sitting on the sofa, smoking cigarettes, and the smiles on their faces were clearly visible.
"Lao Li, I just went to the boss's office, and he praised you emphatically."
"Thank you boss, mainly Editor He, for giving me some kind words in front of the boss, otherwise the boss would not know about me." Li Xiangyang is very humble.
"Hahaha, your credit belongs to you. No one can take it away. It doesn't matter whether I recommend it or not. Gold always shines."
Editor-in-chief He was very pleased to see Li Xiangyang being grateful. Didn't he forget the well-digger when he was ready? If you are a wolf with white eyes, then you will be the unlucky one in the end. Every day you will be worried about running.
"Lao Li, you also know that the style of our newspaper is more entertainment-oriented. But I think now is indeed an opportunity."
Hearing Chief Editor He talk about business, Li Xiangyang put away his smile and said seriously, "Chief Editor, do you want to develop professional news?"
"Yes, the economy and current affairs are all our weaknesses. If we wanted to enter this area in the past, the people might not necessarily buy it, but it is different now. With this matter, can we get closer to completion?
You also know that the threshold for entertainment news is not high. Why don’t we take this opportunity to try to transform?
Let me tell you the truth, the company now gives you two choices, one is the position of deputy editor-in-chief. In one, it is to open a new professional news department and add a few pages to the Oriental Daily. If the effect is good, it is not impossible to start a new newspaper. You serve as the editor-in-chief, and the choice is up to you."
Editor-in-chief He's showdown made Li Xiangyang deep in thought. It can be said that it has pros and cons. It's safe to go further, but given Editor-in-Chief He's age, I'm afraid he won't be moving his position within 10 years.
The other option is that risks and rewards coexist. In terms of position, you can get it right in one step. But if he doesn’t do well, let alone the deputy editor-in-chief, he will not have the face to stay at Oriental Daily.
Li Zhengyang knew what he meant, and it was indeed a rare opportunity now, but this kind of highly professional news was different from entertainment news and required a lot of investment.
For entertainment news, you can only report on Hong Kong Island, and just pick up on major entertainment events in other places. There will be no news lag, as long as it is not too late.
But professional news is different. It pays attention to first-hand resources. How much news can you get if you stare at the three-acre land of Hong Kong Island all day long? Sooner or later, they will starve to death, so they need to send a large number of reporters to travel to other countries.
This is not only salary, but also business travel expenses, accommodation expenses, and various subsidies. Otherwise, you will see if you can recruit people, and you will also need to purchase a lot of new equipment.
Another point is that if you want to expand international news, competition is inevitable. The South China Morning Post and Southeast Daily are the two newspapers that are most advanced in this area on Hong Kong Island. The sales volume of both newspapers is around 150,000 copies.
"How much support can the company give me?"
It is said to be support, but in fact it is money. If you have money, you have everything.
"200 million".
Editor-in-chief He's answer made Li Xiangyang frown. The salary of a professional news reporter is around 5000. Different regions have different subsidies. Calculated, a reporter’s monthly expenses average around 200. 20 million is only enough to cover the expenses of reporters for one year.
"With all due respect, this fee is completely insufficient. This small number of people is enough to go to Southeast Asia."
Chief Editor He laughed. "Lao Li, if you agreed directly, I would really worry about you, but now it seems that you are really the best choice for the editor-in-chief.
The company also intends to develop its business in Southeast Asia first. If the results are good, additional funds will be added. It's just that I didn't tell you just now to see if you would get carried away for profit.
If you agree directly, even if it makes you resentful, I will not let you develop this new department."
After Li Xiangyang learned the truth, he did not complain about Chief Editor He. Instead, he looked at Chief Editor He gratefully. He knew that this was for his own good.
"Boss, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. Thank you and the company for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely work hard and develop the new department."
Since the company still has follow-up support, it will be easier to handle, and Li Xiangyang also has backup, which is economic information.
Today's newspapers on Hong Kong Island are all comprehensive and skewed. If he can't compete with South China Morning Post and Southeast Daily in terms of current political news, he can still take the economic route. This is what he learned from the various expert evaluations in Southeast Daily. .
"Hahaha, what kind of leader doesn't lead? We will be on the same level from now on. Maybe I will still look at your eyes in the future."
Regarding Editor-in-Chief He's self-deprecation, Li Xiangyang was not too modest, "You are my leader at all times, and this will never change."
While Oriental Daily was discussing its own development, another place on Hong Kong Island was the headquarters of Global Shipping Company.
This is the company headquarters of the world's shipping king, Charter King. In the charter king's office, the eldest son-in-law Su Haiwen and the second son-in-law Wu Guangzheng walked in anxiously, holding a newspaper in their hands, which was today's Oriental Daily.
"Daddy, have you read today's news?" Wu Guangzheng asked hurriedly before he came up.
The chartering king did not answer him, but scolded him, "How unbecoming you are in a panic. You are so impatient, but I am so confident to leave my business to you."
"Yes, Daddy. I will pay attention to it in the future. It's just that I am impatient." Wu Guangzheng, who was scolded, quickly put on an attitude of making a mistake.
The Charter King nodded and educated him, "Remember, if you want to be a successful businessman, you must be able to remain unchanged even if the mountain collapses. If you don't even have this bit of cultivation, you will be doomed for the rest of your life." The road won’t be too wide.”
Both of them expressed that they had learned from the charter king's teachings. In fact, they both knew that the reason why Wu Guangzheng was acting like this just now was because he was too impatient.
He knew that the Charter King had always had plans to go ashore, and Wharf was also the target of his plan, but he was not in a hurry, and now he only held less than 10% of the shares.
This is his future career. The entire Bao family knows that the shipping industry is handed over to Su Haiwen. The chartering king has also agreed that if the landing is successful, the industry on land will be handed over to Wu Guangzheng, otherwise He would not have known that Luo Nianzhong was so anxious after acquiring Wharf.
After accepting the criticism and education from the charter king, Wu Guangzheng saw that his face was not displeased and said again, "Daddy, have you seen today's Oriental Daily?"
"I saw it, but I didn't expect it. As the saying goes, a tiger father has no sons. His father Luo Yinghua is the number one figure. It's a pity. I didn't expect that their lineage did not decline after his father passed away. I don't know if I should Be happy about that.
Many people know that Wharf's market value is seriously undervalued, but there are no more than three people in Hong Kong who dare to speak out. I didn't expect this little guy to have such great courage.
If he had this ability, to be honest I wouldn't want to argue with him, after all he calls me uncle, and Luo Yinghua and I are good brothers, it's a pity."
The chartering king didn't say it completely, which made Su Haiwen and the two in front of them a little confused. Why did Luo Nianzhong say that he didn't have the ability to acquire it? Isn't that what they are doing now?
Seeing the two people frowning, the chartering king ignored them and ordered, "Contact Luo Nianzhong and tell him that we have 10% of the Wharf stock in our hands and we can sell it to him at the current market value."
Wu Guangzheng was shocked by the charter king's words, "What? Daddy, this is a plan we have been planning for a long time. Are we just giving up?"
Wu Guangzheng was unwilling to give up. Seeing that his career was so close and within reach, he was actually asked to give up now.
The chartering king shook his head inwardly. This second son-in-law still had some abilities, but he didn't have the overall perspective. However, he didn't explain. He ordered, "Do as I say. I'm tired. You guys can go out first."
Wu Guangzheng did not dare to disobey and left with a face full of reluctance. Su Haiwen did not say a word throughout the whole process. If Luo Nianzhong really acquired the Wharf, he would be happier than anyone else.
You must know that part of the funds for the acquisition will be provided by Global Shipping. In order to prepare such funds, many ships have been sold. He hopes that Luo Nianzhong can complete this miracle.
