History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 30
He Dingxian found a female receptionist at the front desk of the newspaper, saying that there was an explosive news to be provided to the newspaper, and the female receptionist took him to the news department.

At that time, the head of the news department of "Sing Tao Daily" was "Zou Huaiwen", who served as the editor-in-chief. He was 23 years old at the time, and he was young and promising.

However, with Zou Huaiwen's degree in journalism from St. John's University, coupled with his outstanding internship performance at Shanghai's "Shen Bao", and his proficiency in English, being the editor-in-chief of "Sing Tao Daily" is at best a good person.

23 years old this year is not a fledgling age. Those who are ambitious can already make a career, but considering that Zou Huaiwen has only been in Hong Kong Island for more than a year, being the editor-in-chief of "Sing Tao Daily" is already a result of a prominent family background.

Huai's father, Minchu, was the former president of the Bank of China in Guangdong Province. He made friends with wealthy merchants from Chaozhou and Shantou.

He Dingxian didn't expect to find any editor-in-chief in the newspaper office, and he would be able to meet the future head of Golden Harvest Group, Boss Zou, a generation of film industry tycoon.

Now it seems that Zou Daheng is still working in the news media industry, not even in the English newspapers. Looking at that immature face, it seems that he has just left the society.

But the young Zou Huaiwen was not easy to fool around. Holding a pot of teacup in his hand, he blew on the hot air unhurriedly, and said aloud: "Mr. He, this murder case does not seem to be that simple. Putting a hat on one person can easily affect the fairness of the news and affect the reputation of "Sing Tao Daily."

He Dingxian pursed his lips, with a nonchalant expression. Sing Tao Daily is a commercial newspaper that loves to catch attention and likes to chase political hot spots. It sells newspapers by speculating on current events. Talking about reputation is not as good as talking about money.

"I have 5000 yuan here, please help me write the news." He Dingxian took out an envelope and handed it forward: "It doesn't need to be accurate, just report the news, and those who are interested will naturally check it out. the truth."

As for what will happen afterwards, it has nothing to do with the press. People in the Jianghu want shame, but they will not trouble the newspaper.

What's more, the owner of "Sing Tao Daily" is even more difficult to mess with.

It's a pity that there are too many talents in the island, hidden dragons and crouching tigers. There are rich businessmen, fierce men, and elite children, all of whom survived the war-torn era. Quite a lot, and you can still cheat Karma's waist.

Zou Huaiwen didn't even look at the envelope. He pushed his glasses with his hands while smiling, and said aloud: "There are many people who use money to buy advertisements at the newspaper office. You are the first one who uses money to buy news at the newspaper office."

"Although I think you want to use the news to attack your competitors, but since you are also from Chaoshan, I will help you report the news."

"I don't charge you for the money, but if there is a place, I can sell newspapers for me." Zou Huaiwen had found out that He Dingxian was in the movie store business before, and he guessed some inside information, but he didn't have enough information and didn't read it thoroughly enough.

He didn't care about thousands of bribes, he just wanted to make the department's performance look good, and by the way, make friends with a fellow villager who seemed promising.

In fact, homicide news on Hong Kong Island is very reportable. Every time it is published, it will cause a sensation. The main reason is that there are too many homicides.

It's a pity that there are too few homicides that can be reported, because the police have replaced most of the cases with human heads, so how to report the cases after they are closed?Isn't it a slap in the face of the police force to report it?
He Dingxian also saw what Zou Huaiwen meant, that he was worthy of being a talent from a wealthy businessman family, he would do business with favors first, and he would not accept bribes of thousands of yuan at all, but he would charge more!

With the current quotation of [-] cents a piece, each movie store subscribes [-] cents of newspapers, and one issue costs only a few tens of dollars, which is more than [-] yuan a month.

Guessing that Zou Huaiwen won't be able to work for "Sing Tao News" for long, if he subscribes for a year or a half, it will not cost more than 3000 yuan when the favor passes.

This is much more economical than the [-] oceans that were sent out directly. Presumably Zou Huaiwen understands the truth, that is, he really wants to make friends with him.

"No problem. From tomorrow onwards, seven hundred copies of newspapers will be issued every issue. If any customers come, they will be sent to him for reading. I will order them directly from you." He Dingxian smiled.

Zou Huaiwen stood up and went around the desk, and shook hands with him with a warm smile: "Mr. He, I will take you out and have tea together when we have time."

"Okay." He Dingxian said with a chuckle, "When you come to Kowloon, you can find me at the Yau Ma Tei Police Station. I am a policeman."

"I really can't see it."

Zou Huaiwen was very surprised, but behaved politely, raising his hand all the way to lead him out of the office building.

The next day, afternoon.

He Dingxian, wearing a white T-shirt and black trousers, was sitting in front of the dollar store in Shek Kip Mei, leaning on a bamboo reclining chair with his back, and spread out a copy of "Sing Tao Daily" with his legs crossed.

Today is the day when the mission halls are on rotation. Whenever he has nothing to do, he will come to the movie store to sit and sit. At noon, he simply rests. In the evening, he can help sell tickets. In the movie store in Shek Kip Mei, the main reason is that Zhu Yazai, Wu Shihao and other brothers are often in Shek Kip Mei, and it is more enjoyable for brothers to chat together.

From time to time, I also go to the movie stores in Sham Shui Po and Shanghai Street. First, I have a relationship with Mr. Cai in Sham Shui Po, and second, I check the business of the stores. I only go to the two stores on Temple Street and Kwong Wah Street. At least, after all, it is a movie store given to others, and it is impossible to be as attentive as my own store.

Moreover, the consumption power of the neighbors near the two Wangjie Wangpu is strong enough, and money will be credited to the account every month if they open there, and the profit of a single store is higher than that of Sham Shui Po and Shek Kip Mei.

Lard boy was wearing a sweater, showing his fat arms, and came to the officer with a plate of watermelon. While eating, he asked, "Boss, what are you looking at?"

"Look at the news in the newspaper." He Dingxian saw the 600-word report on the social news page, which took up two-thirds of the page. The title was still "Murder of Shaw Theater Manager", and the smile on the corner of his mouth became brighter.

Pick up the watermelon and eat it with relish.

Lard Boy glanced at the newspaper, and turned his gaze outside after failing to see the name, and said with a puzzled face: "Brother Xian, do you need to buy a hundred copies to read the newspaper?"

He Dingxian looked up at him, and said with a smile: "Newspapers will be delivered every day from now on, let Ahao and Ajie read more when you have time, if the audience likes them, they will give them away for free, and if they can't, they will be used as toilet paper."

In Central, Shaw Brothers and Sons, Shao Zuiweng is sitting on a leather office sofa, wearing a neat suit and uniform, with a famous watch on his wrist, after reading the secretary's folded newspapers, a pair of mustaches full of literati atmosphere It was beating faintly.

"Hey!" He slammed the newspaper on the table with his palm, and even the water glasses on the table jingled: "Villagers, contact Lin Datou of Fu Yixing for me. banquet."

The second younger brother, Shao Cunren, immediately stood up on the sofa seat, nodded tactfully and said, "Understood, big brother."

Although "Shao's father and son" is currently the chairman of the Shao village, and his son is the general manager, the big brother Shao Zuiweng has the biggest face in the business world. He is also a brother and a father among his brothers. Any matter had to be dealt with first by Shao Zuiweng, so when everyone mentioned Shaw Brothers, Shao Zuiweng was put first, and it was not until ten years later that Shao Yifu took the place.

Now that the Shao family has lost face outside, the boss must go to find it in person, otherwise, how do the company and the fellow village associations think of them?
