History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 89 Regular oil, touch it.

The first move He Dingxian planned to use to make the daily brand famous was to publish "The Dog Book".

"Gambling on dogs" is very popular on Hong Kong Island at present. Dog fighting will be caught and fought in a cage, and the winner will be determined by buying or losing. The odds will be determined according to the previous record of "dog fighting".

This is a game that was popular in "Guangdong Province" during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was spread to Hong Kong Island after the war, and it caused a wave of fascination because ghosts love "horse racing". Ghosts play horse racing with foreigners, and the Chinese cannot afford horses Can't fight dogs?

The "Dog Book" is the same as the "Zihuabao" in Zihuatan. dog.

At present, most of the "dog fighting rings" are located in Kowloon, the New Territories, and Tuen Mun, and there are even "dog villages", which make a living by raising dogs and gambling dogs... Behind the scenes are also controlled by associations, and there are few "dog fighting rings" in Hong Kong Island ", but there are not a few people who buy dogs from gambling stalls. They usually look for gambling stall horses to consult information, but the population base of New Territories and Kowloon is the largest.

Historically, the Ma Brothers' "Oriental Daily" became popular because of "The Dog Book", but now no one in Hong Kong has started to organize "The Dog Book".

An opportunity lies ahead.

And he came to Chu Yunnan originally because he wanted to take Miss Qianjin to the dog farm, sell the new newspaper by the way, and asked for some advertisements...

He and Zou Huaiwen promised to open up sales for the newspaper, so there must be a way to stir up the newspaper, and it must also be able to attract sponsors who publish advertisements.

After all, newspapers have two sources of income, one is newspaper sales, and the other is advertising commissions.

Among them, the amount of advertising commission depends on the sales volume of the newspaper. The higher the sales volume of the newspaper, the stronger the advertising effect, and the higher the commission will naturally be. Large newspapers earn more from advertising fees than selling newspapers.

It's a pity that since Ms. Chu has family precepts, He Dingxian can't lead her to do bad things. He immediately shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "It's fine if you haven't played, just keep drinking."

Chu Yunnan was very interested, patted him on the shoulder, and asked, "Why don't you invite me to play?"

"No, Ms. Chu has a strict family education. Since I have never gambled before, I dare not take you to gamble." He Dingxian smiled wryly: "Otherwise, Boss Chu will definitely kill me!"

He was actually a little surprised.

I thought that Ms. Chu's style must be eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and she is proficient in everything, but I didn't expect that after playing after playing, the family tradition is still strict.

It's not surprising if you think about it carefully, there are too many children of wealthy families on Hong Kong Island who like to gamble, and even gamble their entire family fortune. Gambling must be strictly prohibited in big families!

Chu Yunnan was very shrewd, and said with a smile: "You paid me to play, isn't it because you bet, not me?"

"Good guy, do you want to prostitute me for nothing?" He Dingxian was very surprised, and quickly refused: "You gamble, I pay the bill, you win, and I lose."

"Who do you think you are?"

"By violating the rules of the casino, the Queen of England dare not be so arrogant!"

Chu Yunnan curled her lips: "Miser."

He Dingxian joked: "You can let the good sisters and princesses of Uncle Shaotuan invite you to play."

Chu Yunnan sneered: "Just think that you are smart and everyone else is stupid? Only ghosts will do things that you are unwilling to do."

"It makes sense." He Dingxian believed deeply, being rich doesn't mean being stupid!Rich people often hate being cheated by others.

In fact, He Dingxian was not reluctant to spend money to gamble, and even prepared to advance the money before opening his mouth, so he couldn't take the initiative to invite Miss Chu to play.

Let Miss Chu lose her panties for the first time, right?
But since Ms. Chu didn't violate the rules, he didn't want to be a person who broke the rules, and seeing that the atmosphere was not bad, he simply opened up a prostitute for nothing: "Ms. Chu, I recently opened a new newspaper, and the first issue will be published next month. In the meantime, I want to get some advertisements for the newspaper, are you interested in including a page to praise Miss Nightingale..."

He Dingxian looked at Chu Yunnan's blushing face, with a look of "I'm an idiot" in the pupils above, and immediately changed his words with a smile: "It's very cheap."

Chu Yunnan suddenly laughed wantonly, and publicly executed him: "Hahaha, I'm really sorry, I usually don't laugh at people, unless I really can't hold it back."

"Axian, you really know what to do. You can do any kind of business. You really surprised me when you said you want to start a newspaper. Next time, you might as well start a TV station."

"It's not that I don't praise you, the main reason is that no matter how cheap the wipes are, you can't sell them at your price!"

He Dingxian's face was a bit dull, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to solemnly declare: "The newspaper will definitely become popular. I have many ways. If one fails, I will make another one. Believe me, it will grow popular all the way."

Chu Yunnan patted his thigh, then patted him on the shoulder, and laughed even louder: "You said to kill 100 people after killing one, I believe you, you said to run a newspaper, how do you make me believe it? TMD, send someone to run a newspaper , It’s the first time I’ve seen it, it’s true that Jesus also came to make a golden body, that, the bottle of Remy Martin on the table is more than 200, take it home and drink it.”

He Dingxian noticed that the beautiful girls around him were looking at him more or less, and for the first time he felt the urge to push Chu Yunnan's head into the toilet.

Okay!

How dare you look down on me?
"Miss Chu, let's be friends, please help me..." He doesn't have the same knowledge as women!
Sure enough, when Chu Yunnan saw his sincere expression and lowered his posture, he couldn't laugh at him wantonly, otherwise he would really belittle him on purpose.

And just now she laughed at He Dingxian after all, she weighed it in her heart, then nodded and said: "Okay, I will help you find friends and try to get some advertisements for you."

"Although the oil and grain sellers in our family don't need to advertise, some of the uncles in the chamber of commerce run department stores, some run companies, and some do shipping. They always need to advertise."

There are many kinds of advertisements, some are for selling goods, some are for recruitment, and some are simply for making a name.

There are even people who really hold the oiran.

Therefore, as long as someone recommends it with heart, more or less business will come to your door.....
He Dingxian immediately nodded gratefully, raised his glass and said, "Thank you Miss Chu."

Miss Chu raised the glass, touched it lightly, and after taking a sip of the wine, her flaming red lips parted, and she muttered in a low voice: "I think your teeth are not good... It's so hard, it's not a dime. "

He Dingxian seemed to hear it, but he didn't seem to hear it. After drinking, he turned around and had fun with the rest of his uncles and youngsters. The purpose of this trip was successfully completed.

Ten minutes later, Miss Nightingale, wearing the beautiful cheongsam with silk stockings on the stage, with a graceful figure, stepped off the stage to thank the benefactor.

She first said hello to Miss Chu, the leader of the young regiment according to the rules, and then sat next to He Dingxian to toast him, and then sat between the two of them, while being the leader of the young regiment, she praised the elder brother.

He Dingxian drank two cups of Yangma urine, feeling drunk and having fun.Regardless of the presence of other uncles and young masters, the palms of the hands have already started to move on the thighs, and they stretched into the cheongsam to fiddle with the stockings back and forth, and measured the curves of the body with their own hands.

Play boldly!
Chu Yunnan smiled and didn't say anything, because it's really common to spend money on it, and it's also an "unspoken rule" in the uncle's youth group. Isn't it just to sing, dance, and touch when you come to the nightclub? of it?Is it true that some people really cover their heads and drink to listen to music?

However, popular divas are limited to touching in nightclubs.

If he pretends to be a sage indifferently, there are only two answers, one is that he doesn't regard her, Chu Yunnan as a friend, and the other is that he has no balls!

Eleven o'clock late at night.

Fang Fang walked out of the nightclub and went home in Ni Kun's car. The next morning, when he got up to take a shower, he suddenly found a bruise on his arm. It looked like someone had strangled him. Which girl would dare to strangle him in a nightclub?
Nightingale, huh?I spent money!If you are so unprofessional, next time you spend money, you have to pinch it back...

He Dingxian felt a little resentful, but it's okay to think about it, what's the point of just pinching it back.

……

In the mission hall, He Dingxian sat back behind his desk and waved to Meng Yuanda, who was the smartest: "Da Tsai, come here, I need your help."

"Brother Xian, what's the matter?" Meng Yuanda stepped forward wearing a jacket with a smile, intentionally or unintentionally, foolish.

He Dingxian knew that Meng Yuanda had always been looked down upon in the police force, so he naturally wanted to flatter him, flatter him, and pretend to be a fool.

In fact, he is very shrewd in his heart, and he is very familiar with things in the world.

Seeing him approaching, He Dingxian said bluntly: "I have something to do for me. Find some masters who know how to look at dogs. I have a case to consult with them."

"Remember, there must be real materials, and don't affect my handling of the case."

In fact, there is indeed a way to look at the dog, just like looking at the horse, but "gambling with the dog" is definitely controlled by the dealer, and the winning and losing are all calculated by the dealer.

However, as long as the "Book of Dogs" published in the newspaper can fool people, because of the deviation of the survivors, there will always be a group of people who believe in the "Book of Dogs" superstitiously.

Naturally, it can bring sales to the newspaper. At the same time, the higher the sales volume, the greater the reputation, and the more people will believe it. There are also factors in the heart of gamblers.

Because people who like to gamble often fall into thinking deviations, commonly known as "magic stunned". Just comfort in my heart.

"Dog Classics", "Charts and Pictorials", "Horse News", "Stock Insider", etc... have multiple functions of attracting people to gamble, manipulating odds, and serving as placebo for gamblers.

Hearing this, Meng Yuanda patted his chest confidently, and said: "Don't worry, Brother Xian, I'll catch some dog farm owners for you later."

"It's very difficult to ask them to make black villages for you. Isn't it easy to ask how many masters they want?"

"By the way, brother Xian, do you want to buy a dog?" He rolled his eyes, as if he wanted to flatter him.

He Dingxian shook his head and said with a smile: "Handle the case! Handle the case!"

"Oh!"

"I understand!"

Meng Yuanda slammed his left foot on the ground, stood at attention and saluted: "Yes, sir!"

He Dingxian asked his men to go down and invite Master Xianggou to come back very quickly. After all, the plainclothes detectives have guns and licenses, so it is easy to sweep a few puppy farms.

However, considering that the boss wants to use Master Xianggou, there is room for the subordinates to handle affairs, and basically invite them back in a friendly manner.

He Dingxian chatted with a master named Zhou Yuan in the interrogation room, and then let him leave the police station. On the second day, Zhou Yuan took several colleagues to a new company on Wanchai Road.

For them, they make a lot of money by collecting codes for dog farms, but they are not stable. Writing dog stories for newspapers is very stable, and they get 200 yuan a month.

The boss also promised that if the newspaper sells well, there will be bonuses in the future. The most important thing is that there are many masters of Xianggou. The people in the editorial department will do.

He Dingxian said hello to Chao Yiyong from Kowloon, Wo Sheng from Central, Lao Fu from New Territories, and "dog owners" from Number Gang, asking them to set up dog clubs of various sizes. The "new dog" information will be reported, and the newspaper will advertise them at that time.

Although the "dog owners" of these associations have scruples and feel that they have been prostituted for nothing, the reputation of "Dog Fighting Field" and even the ranking of "Famous Dogs" may be manipulated by newspapers in the future... But Hong Kong Island is originally Gambling is banned by law, and dog fighting is completely a side business. How much will sell the Chaoshan Gang celebrity "Hua Yaoxian" of the police force for two cents, and follow his wishes, let's see how he can do it.

This is also the reason why "gambling with dogs" has been prevalent in the province and Hong Kong for decades, and only the Ma brothers were able to create "The Book of Dogs" in newspapers.

Because the "Dog Book" will involve the interests of dog owners, if you don't have some power in the world, the "dog owners" of the major associations will not sell your face.

At that time, the dogs in your "Dog Book" will be different from the dog farm, and the customers will feel as hard as paper to wipe their butts!

Just as "Horse Pao" needs to be backed by British capital, "Police News" also needs to be ventilated by the police force, and "Dog Classic" naturally needs the nod of its dog owner.

Any thing that is easy to think about, but no one does, must have an operational threshold.

Some people may have thought about the importance of running "The Dog Book", otherwise, there would not be similar pamphlets in the world, but there are very few who can think of it, have the financial resources, the ability, and the willingness to continue.

He Dingxian stood up as one, relying on the skin on his body, the gun on his waist, and the people under his command, he could barely put on the airs of "The Book of Dogs".

This is also the reason why he asked Meng Yuanda to contact him instead of directly asking Zou Huaiwen to find someone... It's still the same sentence "how much power, how much money!"

If it weren't for He Dingxian's popularity, at least he would have to be the chief inspector of Zonghua to save face and run "The Dog Classic". Fortunately, it went smoothly.

Zou Huaiwen is not comfortable with "Daily" mixed with "The Dog Book", but his own style of doing things is that "merchant attribute" is greater than "literati attribute", commonly known as "love money", he simply does not say a word, and alone To give "The Book of Dogs" an office, and leave an entire page to publish "The Book of Dogs" in the expected two-page, four-page newspaper. It can only be said that money is a good thing, and everyone with brains likes it.

Looking at the four pages of "Oriental Daily" in this way, there are actually only two pages that report news, and the remaining two pages have one to publish "Dog Classics" and the other to publish advertisements. But both Zou Huaiwen and He Dingxian have one idea, Since it is a business, let’s get the money first and then talk about it. Only when the sales of newspapers are raised, can we be qualified to talk about "politics", "propaganda", talk about "hot spots" hype, and talk about fame!
Just because the current newspaper industry is no longer the era of opportunity 50 years ago, every time a newspaper is published, it will pay special attention.

There are now more than 100 newspapers of various types in Hong Kong, and new and old newspapers are emerging one after another. This is an era when we need to break through the siege first and make a name for ourselves before we can stand on our feet!

Mouthpiece Mouthpiece, speak loudly, and only when someone can hear you, will the backer seek you as a mouthpiece!

Do you really think that "private newspapers" can make big news as soon as they come up like some newspapers?Do you have ghosts behind you and the Hong Kong and Macau Working Committee to back you up?
On the contrary, the current approach is the least risky and most reassuring strategy...
