Global Tycoon: You Call This A Small Achievement?

The rise of Oriental Daily at the speed of a comet has not only shocked the entire Hong Kong newspaper community, but also attracted great attention from people in the entertainment industry, business circles, and politicians.

Newspapers have always been a tool for publicity. The strong rise of Oriental Daily has directly taken a piece of the newspaper market, and it also means that another newspaper with huge influence has taken away part of Xiangjiang's right to speak.

How could this not be cause for concern?

In a capitalist society, the power of public opinion has been proven long ago. It is both a shield and a sword.

"Boss, someone wants to buy our newspaper." Huang Sheng rushed into He Zhou's office, panting.

"Oh?" He Zhou was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the busy traffic on the city avenue. The sunlight hitting his body was like a layer of gold lining his whole body.

"Refuse." He Zhou said without thinking. He was neither short of money nor able to sell Oriental Daily.

If it's just for money, there are a hundred ways to make more money than running a newspaper, so why bother?

"Oh, okay." Huang Sheng wiped his sweat and was about to step out.

"Come back first!"

He Zhou waved him back, "Who wants to buy our newspaper?"

Huang Sheng frowned and thought for a while, "The other party should be just a middleman, but he spoke loudly and said the acquisition price was 20 million yuan..."

He guessed that the man was a white glove, and there was someone else behind it. It was most likely someone from several wealthy families in Xiangjiang, trying to control an influential newspaper.

Old newspapers such as Sing Tao Daily and Ming Pao are deeply involved. Even if some of the most influential big names in Hong Kong come forward in person, they can't talk about it.

If He Zhou remembers correctly, in order to acquire Sing Tao Daily, Li Chaoren personally visited several times and discussed the acquisition with the head of Sing Tao Daily, but was rejected.

Later, the family behind "Sing Tao Daily" declined for more than 20 years, and its influence was far less than before. Only in the 1990s did it spend more than one billion and promised many favors to get what it wanted.

Even so, the family behind Sing Tao Daily still feels resentful, believing that Li Chaoren is taking advantage of the situation and adding insult to injury.

Now, Sing Tao Daily has been listed and has a market value of several billion Hong Kong dollars.

There is no big boss in the entire Chinese capital in Xiangjiang who can easily come up with this huge amount of funds, let alone billions, even if they are asked to spend one billion, it will be too much, and it may even break their muscles and bones. .

"Twenty million Hong Kong dollars?" He Zhou smiled disdainfully, thought for a moment and said, "Reject him, but be polite. The opponent's path is unknown, and it is not suitable for us to make enemies for nothing."

"Okay, boss." Huang Sheng slowly withdrew.

Oriental Daily has become the focus of Hong Kong. It is not surprising that he is targeted!

What really made him feel ridiculous was that the person behind the acquisition who was interested in the acquisition actually only sent a chess piece to talk to them, without even bothering to do any superficial work. This meant that they didn't take him seriously at all.

Smart people never underestimate the power of public opinion!

It can be seen that the person who came forward this time is not a smart person.

What's more, with a little investigation, you should know that he and Zhou are the ones who are short of the 20 million Hong Kong dollars? !

...

At this time, the "Ming Pao" newspaper office a few streets away was holding a meeting of middle and high-level management.

Cha Liangyong is sitting at the top, Shen Baoxin is sitting next to him, Pan Yuesheng is sitting at the bottom, and there are a few unfamiliar faces.

"Let's talk about how we should deal with it. Oriental Daily has stolen many of our customers." Shen Baoxin, who is responsible for specific business matters, was the first to speak.

Pan Yuesheng also immediately echoed, "Originally we thought that the Xiangjiang newspaper community had been determined, but we didn't expect that such a disruptor would break in, and he would come with such force and have the potential to sweep everything away!"

Every time the two of them spoke, the atmosphere in the conference room became more serious. In the end, it even felt like a cold wind was whistling.

Jin Yong coughed twice, and everyone looked at him immediately.

Although Jin Yong is not responsible for the daily management of "Ming Pao", he has always been regarded as the soul figure by the outside world and newspaper employees, and no one dares to ignore his every move.

Jin Yong chuckled lightly, waved his hand and said: "Don't be too nervous, everyone. The difficulties we have experienced are much greater than what we are facing. Aren't we all just getting through it?"

"But..." Shen Baoxin wanted to say that this time was different, but he swallowed the words again.

Jin Yong seemed to be lost in memories, "We have come all the way, and I still remember that even though we kept changing the content of supplements and changing the news route.

I myself even wrote "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" even when I was ill, but "Ming Pao" still slipped step by step into the path of "sensation and lust", with sales fluctuating between a thousand copies, and a serious deficit in the first year... ..”
