A layman in the courtyard

Chapter 112 Media Empire
Cao Zhihua explained in great detail from simple to deep. After listening to it, Lou Bancheng asked Cao Zhihua directly:

"Then which line of business do you think is suitable for us to do?"

Cao Zhihua thought for a while and said:

"Dad, I think it is more appropriate for you to develop media. Newspapers, movies, radio stations, TV stations, etc., all media channels are involved. Building a media group is best for you. This is a new industry. I think you can only have success in a new industry. Development opportunities."

Lou Bancheng was obviously not satisfied with this answer and continued to ask:
"why?"

After Cao Zhihua calmed down his thoughts, he replied:
"Since the Chinese detective Lei Luo came to power last year, he has set rules and divided up territory for all gangsters in Hong Kong Island. Many rules in Hong Kong Island have changed. In the past, black was black and white was white. Now, although Hong Kong Island has redefined With the rules in place, society is not as chaotic as before, but Hong Kong society today is a bit indifferent to black and white."

Cao Zhihua paused, thought for a moment, and continued:

"The good thing about the "active non-intervention" policy is that the government does not interfere in business. You can do whatever you want. There are also bad things here. Nowadays, business bosses on Hong Kong Island have basically joined their respective hometown associations, from black to white. There are people there. There are too few people in our Four-Nine Cities on Hong Kong Island to form a force. And there are all kinds of people in these hometown associations. If you enter a traditional industry and compete with them for food, it is inevitable that some people will use some dirty tricks in private. You The business will be difficult to do, so I might accompany you in as soon as possible."

Lou Bancheng thought for a while and asked:
"Is this Lei Luoguan very big?"

"The official is not a big one. He is just a chief detective now. He is considered a mid-level police officer in the Hong Kong Island Police Force. But as you know, there is no certain relationship between the power and the official position."

Lou Bancheng asked curiously:
"How to say?"

Cao Zhihua thought for a while and continued:

"It's not like the foreign police never thought about governing by themselves in the past, but they usually don't deal with social groups and the bottom of society, but the Chinese police have a good relationship with these people. Whenever something happens in society, the foreign police go out to arrest people every time. , it was basically a waste of money and no one could be caught, so governance was not good. Later, we had no choice but to let the Chinese manage China, the foreign police were responsible for managing the Chinese police, and the Chinese police were responsible for managing society."

Cao Zhihua took a sip of tea and continued:
"Lei Luo came to power and formulated a plan, which was approved by the Commissioner of Police. He would divide the number of various types of stalls that could be opened in each place on Hong Kong Island. Lei Luo personally directed the rent collectors to coordinate every week The rent is collected and distributed uniformly, with 3% going to officers above the chief detective of the police department, 2% to all detectives, 1% to assistants, half to the sergeant, and the remaining 3.5% to all police officers. There’s money going up and down.”

Cao Zhihua asked Lou Bancheng:

"Dad, how powerful do you think this person is?"

Lou Bancheng took a breath of cold air, felt numb all over, and said:

"So, isn't this Lei Luo trying to dominate the world with black and white in Hong Kong? With so many people sharing money, do they have enough money to share?"

What happened to Lei Luo was that I was very interested in this person in my previous life, so I checked this person's information. After I came to Hong Kong Island, I also specifically asked if there was this person. This person is now the Chief Inspector of Kowloon District. That's why Cao Zhihua knew that this person was a secret in the eyes of many people.

But after so long, I had to think about many things before I could think of them, so I started to answer.
"It doesn't mean that he can cover the sky with one hand. We are not just partisans. He can indeed cover the sky with one hand in the police department and gangs. Now that the police have such great prestige, he also contributes a lot. But he can't control us. , we do our business and usually deal with the Hong Kong government. If we don’t mess with him, he won’t dare to mess with us at will. Otherwise, all the rich people in Hong Kong Island will disappear long ago, and the Hong Kong government will not let him go. Yes, as for the money, I think it should be enough."

Lou Bancheng said curiously:
"Zhihua, how do you know they have enough money?"

"As far as I know, when Lei Luo reported the plan, he said that according to their calculations, they can receive 58 fees per day for the entire Hong Kong Island, which is a stable fee of more than [-] million a year, which can make the police People here are eating up and down the bowls full of food."

Lou Bancheng was really shocked by what Cao Zhihua said and was speechless for a long time.

Cao Zhihua looked at Lou Bancheng and said nothing, knowing that the news should be quite a shock to him.But Cao Zhihua felt that if he didn't explain the situation clearly to him, if he was fooled into joining any industry, the most terrifying thing would be to lose both his people and his money.

It is better to make it clear from the beginning so that Lou Bancheng will not make wrong judgments.

Since Lou Bancheng came to Hong Kong Island, he has become high-spirited again.

After all, the environment on Hong Kong Island is really friendly to a wealthy person.

In the past few years, I have been suppressed in Sijiu City and I don’t even dare to say anything.

A few days after arriving in Hong Kong Island, I felt that the social environment here was completely different from that in the Four-Nine Cities. I returned to my previous state of being able to send and receive messages freely and dance with long sleeves.

But Lou Bancheng is over 50 years old after all, and Cao Zhihua doesn't want him to enter the wrong industry and spend all day fighting with others and being competitive.

After a while, Lou Bancheng said:

"Do you think we can do well in cultural media?"

Cao Zhihua saw that Lou Bancheng was willing to think about his suggestions, so he said:

"Of course it can be done well. This is the result I came to after careful consideration these days."

"Zhihua, please tell me in detail."

"Dad, first of all, the media industry in Hong Kong is the bastard of cultural people. Although it does not make much money, it is not something that these gangs can get into. However, the rich do not like it, so it is now a circle for cultural people to enjoy themselves. Every day Either the left fights the right, or the right fights the left.”

"But this circle does not exclude capital, and it welcomes capital. If you can integrate newspapers, radio stations, movies, and TV into a group, you will have mastered all the channels for Hong Kong Island to express its voice to the outside world. Then you can show it What does it mean, when capital stands up and speaks, even power has to remain silent."

Lou Bancheng laughed out loud at what Cao Zhihua said, but he thought it made sense and he could consider making a decision after learning more about it.

"Dad, I am sharing this information with you because I feel that the water in Hong Kong Island is very deep now, and I am afraid that if you don't understand the situation, you will make a rash decision and be deceived."

Lou Bancheng nodded, knowing his son-in-law's good intentions, and said:

"What about you, now that you know so much information about Hong Kong Island, what are your plans?"

Cao Zhihua thought about it and decided that it would be a good time to mention it now. After all, the atmosphere has reached a certain level now. Lou Bancheng was quite satisfied with himself in all aspects, so he said:

"Dad, I have a few ideas that I would like to share with you."
