Siheyuan: Since 51

Bai Sha, 23, graduated from the Foreign Languages ​​Department of the University of Hong Kong. She is not tall, has a soft voice, and looks like a little loli.

Li Qingyu, 26, graduated from the Law School of the Island University of Hong Kong. She has short hair and is very capable in her words and deeds.

Ye Xiaoyu, 25, graduated from the Chinese Department of the Island University of Hong Kong. She is tall, talkative and not annoying.

After learning more about it, it was found that Huo Dong had started to sponsor poor college students several years ago, and the three girls happened to be the best among them.

He waved his hand and said, “The three of you go find William, work in the next door first, and get familiar with the company as soon as possible.”

After sending the three people away, Lin Zhiyuan rubbed his forehead, feeling resentful in his heart.

What’s going on, Brother Huo?

You said you would be my assistant, but why did you send three beautiful girls?

……

Suddenly, Hu Yi, who was sitting in the corner, came into view.

Drinking tea, smoking, leisurely, so comfortable.

Lin Zhiyuan immediately had an idea and gave the order casually.

"Xiao Hu, until the assistant confirms, you will take over temporarily and be counted as the squad leader of the three women just now."

The tone left no room for doubt. Hu Yi was slightly surprised, but he did not refute and nodded in agreement.

The mute assistant squad leader is very creative.

In just three days, Hu Yi adapted quickly and the three women complained bitterly.

It is as strict as a military camp, with strict enforcement of orders and no duplicity.

Lin Zhiyuan gave a brief suggestion, and the company's affairs were summarized in the three-person office, and several solutions were discussed and submitted to Hu Yi.

Hu Yi didn't even look at it and handed it to Lin Zhiyuan intact, just like a mouthpiece.

Office, afternoon of the 18th.

Lin Zhiyuan met Shen Xin from Ming Pao, who was dressed in a suit and tie, wearing a pair of gold-framed glasses, and spoke politely.

"Hello, Mr. Lin, I'm Shen Xin."

"Hello, Mr. Shen."

After the pleasantries, we got down to business.

Shen Xin adjusted his glasses and began to brag about himself.

"Mr. Lin has a good eye. It's no exaggeration to say that Mr. Jin Yong is well-known in Hong Kong Island. With him in charge of Ming Pao, not only has the lower limit been raised, but even the upper limit is hard to predict..."

After listening patiently, Lin Zhiyuan did not comment and just lit a cigarette.

"and then?"

Shen Xin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "After consultation between Mr. Jin Yong and I, it is not impossible for Yuanda to invest in Ming Pao. It will cost 20 yuan, % of the shares, but you are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of Ming Pao."

Lin Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with a smile, "Anything else?"

Shen Xin suddenly felt pressured, put away her smile, and gritted her teeth, blurting out the results of the discussion.

"Five hundred thousand. Mr. Jin Yong and I will cash out two hundred thousand to supplement our household expenses, and the other three hundred thousand will be used to develop Ming Pao."

Lin Zhiyuan crossed his legs, curled the corners of his lips slightly, and chuckled slowly.

"Last year, you and Jin Yong invested 25 yuan to start Ming Pao. After more than a year of development, it was lukewarm and barely maintained. Now, it has increased times and even wants to cash out."

As he spoke, his eyes flickered and his smile disappeared.

"Mr. Shen, do you think I'm crazy?"

Shen Xin felt bitter too. Her old classmate insisted, and she didn't know where he got the confidence from. This excessive demand was so excessive that it was not enough to describe it as asking for too much.

He swallowed secretly and chuckled.

"Mr. Lin, you are joking. You should know that Mr. Jin Yong cannot be measured by money."

Lin Zhiyuan shrugged and said seriously, "That's not right. According to what you said, Jin Yong is worth more than two million."

After a pause, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you know what two million means? Jin Yong's royalties for a novel are around 20,000. Two million means a hundred novels."

Having said that, without waiting for Shen Xin to speak, he asked again.

"How about this, we don't need a hundred. Based on the quality of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, Jin Yong can guarantee that he can write fifty. I agree to everything you say, okay?"

Fifty novels, all at the level of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, how is that possible?

Being able to write one book in a year is already incredibly fast. Doesn't that mean it will take fifty years?

If there is another headache or other trivial matter, it will take more than sixty or seventy years, right?

……

After muttering to himself for a while, Shen Xin laughed dryly and said, "Mr. Lin, are you kidding me?"

Lin Zhiyuan spread his hands and sneered, "It seems like you were the one who made the joke first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the office fell into silence.

Lin Zhiyuan didn't say anything, Shen Xin didn't know what to say, and Hu Yi seemed fine.

A few minutes later, Shen Xin sighed and made a suggestion with a smile.

"Mr. Lin, why don't you tell me? I'll go back and discuss it with Mr. Jin Yong."

"Two hundred thousand, forty shares, I won't interfere with the management."

……

After Shen Xin left, Lin Zhiyuan stood in front of the window and couldn't help but sigh.

Is this the pride of a scholar, or does he think I'm a fool?

Since it can't be done, let's wait and see.

Or, do it yourself?

It is not impossible.

……

Lin Zhiyuan stroked his stubble, pondered for a moment, then turned around and gave orders.

"Xiao Hu, arrange for someone to find out if there are any suitable newspapers and periodicals that can be purchased."

As he spoke, he thought of something and added, "There's no rush. It'll take half a month. Please provide as much information as possible."

Hu Yi nodded, stood up and went out.

A minute later, he returned and continued to sit in the corner drinking tea and smoking.

Lin Zhiyuan frowned slightly and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Who is the boss and who is the slave?

I not only have to consider the overall situation, but also think of countermeasures, and even...

The next day, Shen Xin called and politely declined the offer to invest.

Lin Zhiyuan had expected this and didn't take it seriously.

11 month 13 number.

Lin Zhiyuan went to Xihua Building, Hu Yi drove and Ye Xiaoyu followed.

A few days ago, I spent half a million to buy a newspaper.

Jianshang Daily, mainly focusing on economics.

Lin Zhiyuan has also subscribed all along.

The content is easy to understand and forward-looking.

Print a sheet of paper in half, sell it for 50 cents when it is reported to the police station, and sell it for one yuan.

The sales volume is actually quite good, with about 3,000 copies sold every day, so it shouldn't be sold out.

After a detailed understanding, I understood the problem.

The newspaper's former owner, Lu Mingde, a professor at the Island University of Hong Kong, was extremely demanding on the content of the newspaper.

Invite colleagues to write articles, form an editorial team, and ensure the timeliness of news.

The idea is right and the reputation is great, but the expenses are also high and the income is often not enough to cover the expenses.

After persisting for more than two years, Lu Mingde could no longer bear it and had no choice but to sell it to Lin Zhiyuan.

The group came to the fifth floor and walked into Jianshang Daily.

Editor-in-chief Yan Juntao immediately came forward and said, "Mr. Lin, the management team is all here. Shall we start the meeting right away?"

"Meeting."

In the conference room, Lin Zhiyuan sat in the main seat, with Hu Yi and Ye Xiaoyu sitting behind him.

On both sides are editor-in-chief Yan Juntao, distribution manager Yang Zhesi, logistics manager Yu Le, and office manager Dou Min...

Several people sat upright with serious expressions, like lambs to be slaughtered.

Lin Zhiyuan looked around and couldn't help but praise inwardly.

Small but complete.

The division of labor is clear and everyone performs his or her duties.

Lu Mingde is quite capable, and although the premium is quite high, it is still a bargain.

"You can rest assured that after the acquisition, Yuanda will not reduce salaries. If the employees do not make mistakes, there will be no unwarranted layoffs. We will even expand."

Yan Juntao and his companions' expressions relaxed slightly and they looked at each other.

After stabilizing the morale of the troops, Lin Zhiyuan changed the subject.

"Of course, newspapers also need to reform to face bigger markets and challenges."
