History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 93 Bigger and Stronger
He Dingxian thought about many answers in his heart, including the worst answer, but he never expected that Ah Hao would send him a durian!
Pounce on your mother!

I understand me too well!
He Dingxian stood up with a smile, took off the ax from Huang Jun's waist, took the durian to the table, and aimed the ax down the gap.

"Crack!" The durian was split in half, and he immediately opened it with the tip of the axe, divided the durian, and waved happily: "Why are you standing still, let's eat together."

"Brother Xian, what the hell is it?" Lard Boy pinched his nose, his expression troubled.

Futou Jun introduced: "It's called durian, and the boss in Singapore is selling this thing. Although the taste is a bit heavy, it tastes good. I ate several in Thailand."

He Dingxian nodded: "This is a special product of Thailand. The earliest place of production seems to be Malaysia and Myanmar. It is planted in a large area in Thailand. It is very good."

Lard boy frowned when he saw the big boss enjoying his meal with a relaxed expression on his face: "Eating shit."

"Hahaha." Ax laughed handsomely.

These years, durian has just become a new type of fruit in Southeast Asia. It is a new generation of blockbuster products after bananas and pineapples. It has also been widely promoted by fruit manufacturers in Europe and the United States, and it has gradually become popular. It is easy to transport, has a good taste and high nutrition, and is very popular in the market. .

This is different from bananas relying on cheap prices to hit the market. Durians are ripe once a year and are difficult to pick, so they are doomed to be high-priced fruits as soon as they hit the market!

The owner of the fruit bar in Singapore, in order to make profits and follow the trend of the market, must be doing a lot of durian business.

He Dingxian thought it was funny that Ah Hao went to sell durians, but after thinking about it carefully, it made sense: "If you have money, don't you make a bastard!"

"If you can make money from the fruit bar, who will get white flour?"

"Ahao did not disappoint me."

After eating this durian, he has already decided to make great use of Wu Shihao.

Wu Shihao doesn't have the capital to take advantage of the durian boom, but he does. He can use the money to let Wu Shihao set up a fruit bar and start a fruit trading business.

You know, Southeast Asia is a unique treasure land. It produces the best tropical fruits in the world, and the labor is also the cheapest in the world!

At present, no durians are planted in China or Hawaii, and even if they are planted in the future, they will only be Thai products. Now they are in the European and American markets, and in the future they will be in the world market!

Seeing that the boss is enjoying eating, Lard Boy is also used to the smell. He picked up a piece of fruit and tried a couple of mouthfuls, and his expression was a little shocked: "It tastes like batter!"

Ho Ting-hsien was surprised to describe it as batter. Most people would say ice cream, but how could they be qualified to eat ice cream?
I couldn't even imagine the taste of ice cream, so I couldn't help feeling a little emotional, and said after eating: "Ah Jun, next time you come to Thailand, please help find Ah Hao."

"Let him take some time to go back to Hong Kong Island and bring back a batch of fruits by the way. I think this business can continue on Hong Kong Island, and maybe it will be profitable."

Ordinary people can't afford durian, but ghosts can still eat it.

Ax Jun nodded simply when he heard the words: "Understood, boss."

"Do you have anything to do tonight? Let's stay for dinner together?" He Dingxian asked aloud, also wanting to build a good relationship with Fu Toujun. The other party has a future under Ms. Chu's work. Fu Toujun hesitated for a while but said: "Sorry, boss, I haven't been home for a month..."

"It's important to go back to the house and spend time with your family." He Dingxian smiled knowingly, Fu Toujun nodded gratefully: "Okay, I will meet the new brother selected by the company by the way."

"You are already the head of the Brothers of the Company, so I can rest assured that you will palm your eyes in advance."

People like Fu Toujun just seized the opportunity and relied entirely on hitting their heads, and because they didn't have a name and status, they didn't need someone to post, and they could secure the position of brother leader by themselves.

He Dingxian and Chu Yunnan are the bosses who work for him and support him. He just needs to do things with his heart.

After Fu Toujun left, Zhu Youzai said with a warning: "I can't imagine that Ah Hao has done earth-shattering things in Hong Kong Island, and he would really be willing to sell fruit when he ran away to Singapore."

"Is it earth-shattering?" He Dingxian first asked back: "If it is earth-shattering, everyone will bow to him. How could he end up running away?"

"When a person leaves his hometown, he is like a child without a mother. He is bullied everywhere. To be honest, I didn't expect my fellow Singaporeans to accept him. Probably there is a shortage of manpower. He can get a fruit bar to fetch water. It’s pretty good, what else can I do?”

"Although Ah Hao is not from Hong Kong, brother, his reputation is all on Hong Kong Island... Otherwise, he would not think about coming back. Let him come back secretly to see him now, and then go to Thailand to be responsible for importing fruits. As long as he doesn't show his face, we It can also be covered." Liu Fu's death has indeed passed the limelight.

Zhu Youzi's tone was still cautious: "Brother Xian, I think a person like Ah Hao is unwilling to be lonely, and brought a group of brothers to Nanyang, would he bend down and bow his head to work for others?"

"He's held a gun! Be careful!"

He Dingxian narrowed his eyes when he heard the words, and said aloud: "Anyway, Ah Hao is my brother. If he says he sells fruit, I have to believe him. If he says he wants to come back, I have to help. But our company cannot have a name. You can't go wrong, you are the general manager! You have to be responsible!"

Lardboy looked solemn: "I am in charge!"

"By the way, how are you talking with the two editors of the newspaper?" He Dingxian suddenly asked about another matter, and Zhu Youzi smiled wryly: "It's not easy to talk about, that 'Liang Huiru' has some intentions, But that person named 'Yao Fulan' is very attractive, he doesn't want us at all."

"Liang Huiru" is the pen name of Liang Yusheng when he was the editor of "New Evening News", and "Yao Fulan" is the pen name of Cha Niangyong when he was the editor-in-chief of "New Evening News".

This year, Liang Yusheng is the editor of the supplement "Arabian Nights" in "News", and at the same time, Cha Niangyong is in charge of "Afternoon Tea House" in the supplement of "News".

"News" is affiliated with "Ta Kung Pao". It is a new subsidiary newspaper that Fang just created last year. He specially recruited a group of young and talented literati as editors.

Among them, the two "Jin" and "Liang" of the "Four Masters of Martial Arts" are among them, and they are still colleagues in the same office and using the same desk.

"Wen" and "Gu" are two people, one is still studying, the other is not yet born, and both are people who have lived abroad for a long time. The most famous and earliest ones on Hong Kong Island are "Jin" and "Liang".

He Dingxian relied on "The Dog Classic" to build a newspaper, and the sales volume is steadily increasing step by step. It can be said that the foundation of "Oriental Daily" is firmly established.

But how to make "Oriental Daily" bigger and stronger?These four words are going to become the biggest-selling newspaper in Hong Kong!

Besides, under the leadership of the Ma brothers, "Oriental Daily" once dominated Baotan's first brother position for 31 years, and beat "Sing Tao Daily", "Ta Kung Pao", and "South China Morning Post" to the ground.

The single-day sales reached more than 53 copies, and the readers exceeded 340 million, which is far beyond the reasons of other newspapers.

Its essence lies in the word "Daily".

He Dingxian would never have a worse vision than the Ma brothers. He knew that "Daily" wants to make money. The biggest difference from "Business Daily" and "Zihua Daily" is that it needs "more material". In short, the guests When you open the newspaper in the morning, you have to see something new. "New things of the day" is the essence of "Daily".

In Hong Kong Island's current "Daily" type of publications, the new stories are limited to Hong Kong, and at most involve Macau, with some British stories mixed in.

There is a huge gap in the market!

Historically, "Dongfang Daily" relied on "fast, accurate, and ruthless" to go out, claiming to take care of the world's affairs without leaving home. There are both Ma Jing and Supplement novels, as well as "right theory" that criticizes current problems and "Kung Fu Tea" that famous people say, as well as news from the Mainland, Hong Kong, Macau, cross-strait, Britain, the United States, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.

From the earliest one-page folio to one-and-a-half pages, and then adding supplements later, the report can be described as comprehensive and informative.

The biggest weapon is the correspondents stationed in major cities around the world, including the United States, Britain, France, and Australia, and offices in Beijing and Shanghai set up in the mainland, as well as interview stations all over the world.

But at that time, the Ma brothers relied on the money they earned from selling flour, and they had the money to spend money to hire reporters, so they could grow bigger and bigger and invest a lot of money.

The social environment is another ten years later, and many news stations in the mainland and at home and abroad are open. Following the general trend of reporting international news a few times, the newspaper office will naturally be able to ride the wind and be accepted by the general public. The more types of reports, the faster the audience. Naturally, the larger the group, the more readers love to read it, which is why the "Flour Newspaper" can turn around after being scolded.

"Dragon Gate Formation" is the most effective and straightforward method, just like the daily [-]-character online writers of later generations.

In a sense, there is also the effect of "portal websites" in later generations. Even if it is to pass the time, readers like to read newspapers with more words and more categories.

He Dingxian understands the truth, but it is useless, because in terms of the current international situation, the difficulty of obtaining a press card varies from country to country, some cannot be obtained at all, and some require a high price. The social situation is more "dull" than ten years later "a lot of.

Secondly, some places send reporters, and they need a stand to do interviews. If the stand is not good, you can't talk if you can't get online.

Finally, it costs money to send so many reporters and set up so many interview stations!
He Dingxian didn't have that much money, and he didn't have enough identity to make a stand, let alone get a press card from a major country, so the circle came back, the newspaper must first make money, make a lot of money, everything will be easier in the future.

Once the sales of "Oriental Daily" can reach more than "[-] copies", in the current era, it will be more or less a mouthpiece.

At that time, whether it is for the Chaoshan Gang, for the police force, or for justice, current affairs, and others, they are all qualified to speak out.

Those who come to him will also ask for his help, and "Oriental Daily" will become a more important thing in his hands than movie stores and paper factories.

No one can't help but want to occupy the position of public opinion... He can open the door to receive guests...

Here comes the question, how to increase sales to more than 30 copies?He Dingxian decided to ask the ready-made "Four Masters" to act for him, because finding wage earners is undoubtedly the most labor-saving and cost-effective way. In fact, "martial arts novels" on Hong Kong Island have a long history, and there were many in the previous dynasty. Literati make a living by writing novels. In the [-]s, the "Huang Feihong" series of martial arts novels have been sold well in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

What really made martial arts popular in Southeast Asia was a martial arts contest between "Wu Gongyi" and "Chen Kefu" in Haojiang in the 50s.

In the final analysis, the article should be combined with current events. If there are hot topics in current events, relevant articles will be hot. "Martial arts novels" also started off from other people's popularity. What happened to He Dingxian's "martial arts novels"?Everyone came out to sell it, and no one is better than the other!

Who are Wu Gongyi and Chen Kefu?
