Legend of Xiangjiang Tycoon

Chapter 39: Newspaper company development

   Li Zhiwen got up the next day. Li Lizhen and Wen Bixia got up early to make breakfast. Li Zhiwen left home after breakfast, leaving 1,000 yuan for the two girls, and instructed them to study the script carefully.

  Because of the short shooting time and heavy tasks of "Shanghai Tang", Li Zhiwen hasn't been to the Kirin newspaper company for a long time. Fortunately, there is a small mom market. In addition, the headhunting company said that he had to hire a fashion editor from Europe and he had to go for an interview. In addition, the filming of "Happy Ghost" is about to start, and he has to arrange the company's affairs.

  When I came to the newspaper, the heads of various departments came to Li Zhiwen to report.

   The first to come was Wang Sheng from the editorial department.

   "Sit down." Li Zhiwen said.

"Okay, boss." Wang Sheng sat down and reported: "Boss, after a few days of fermentation, the sales volume of "Kirin Daily" has reached 180,000 copies, ranking second in sales of newspapers in Hong Kong, and in Macau. The side can also be published, and the sales volume has reached 80,000 copies. In addition, the previous boss's order to go to the peers to dig people has been very effective. 28 people have agreed to join our newspaper."

   After listening, Li Zhiwen said: "Thanks for your hard work, Editor-in-Chief Wang, I know the results of this period of time. Is there an author who has contributed to our newspaper recently?"

   "Yes, there are, but the writing of the article is a mess, not particularly good. We are at a disadvantage compared to other newspapers in the novel," Wang Sheng said.

"You still have to focus on digging people. You can try digging for Wen Rui'an. In addition, I have two novel outlines here. You can let the writer write them." After Li Zhiwen finished speaking, he handed Wang Sheng two books, one is "Zichuan" , And the other is Huang Yi's "Covering the Rain and Turning the Clouds." Li Zhiwen thought, don't copy Huang Yi bald.

   "Okay, boss, I'll take care of it now." Wang Sheng finished speaking and left the office.

   The second one who came in was Zhang Ze from "Fashion Beauty".

   "Boss, the first issue of "Fashion Beauty" has reached 150,000 copies, but the demand has been strong." Zhang Ze said.

   "You did a good job, how is the second issue?" Li Zhiwen asked.

   At this time, Zhang Ze rushed and said: "The article is ready to be published on time next Monday."

   "Who was on the cover?" Li Zhiwen asked

   Zhang Ze gave the photo to Li Zhiwen, only to see that the person in the photo is not particularly famous, and also not particularly beautiful.

   Li Zhiwen sighed, and he can’t blame him. After all, he is not a professional fashion designer. It seems that the editor-in-chief is in urgent need.

Li Zhiwen said sincerely, "Zhang Ze, the second issue is very important, because the first issue is free. If the second issue is not well done, this magazine will fall in your hand. The cover character is not good. In what way She is not prominent, so I changed her."

   Zhang Ze asked, "Who does the boss use?"

Li Zhiwen thought about the recent female characters, and finally focused on Zhong Chuhong. This person is a big beauty, not to mention, and he is the fourth Miss Hong Kong. She will definitely be controversial on the cover, and if there is controversy, there will be attention. Isn't this the perfect candidate?

   then said to Zhang Ze: "There is a Miss Hong Kong named Zhong Chuhong who is the fourth. You can find her to see me."

   "Okay, boss, do it now." Zhang Ze left the office.

  The third person who came here is the responsibility of overseas departments

   "Boss, the distribution network in Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea has basically been established and can be accessed at any time." Ren Zhong said.

   "Thanks for your hard work, immediately connect "Kirin Daily" and "Fashion Beauty". I want to make our newspapers available to Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea." Li Zhiwen said.

   "Okay, boss."

   The fourth person who came in was Zhou Hui from the Finance Department, that is, my mother.

   "Mother, you are here, do it soon." Like a little mother coming over to find Li Zhiwen, Li Zhiwen can't hold her airs anymore.

   "You too, I started my own company, so I don't even look at it," said the little mother.

   "Isn't there a little mom as the town? I don't worry." Li Zhiwen laughed with him.

"Let me report to you first. At present, the company only has two newspapers. Needless to say, "Fashion Beauty" is still in the stage of losing money. It is "Kirin Daily". This time, the total advertising revenue is 1.3 million. It has achieved profitability. And Lin Jianyue, the son of the chairman of Lai Sun Group, the company wants to buy the advertising space of "Fashion Beauty" for one year. How do you deal with it. After all, you said before that we had to sign the advertisement every January."

Li Zhiwen thought that his clothing company was about to be established, and that Lixin Group had some conflicts with his own business. How could he sell it to him, so he said: "Reject it, my mother, I partnered with someone to come to a clothing company yesterday. At that time, the clothing advertising space of "Fashion Beauty" will be reserved for herself, and the clothes worn by the models will also be customized by our company."

   "You, the stall is so big, how can there be so much money, well, I will reject him." Zhou Hui said.

   Li Zhiwen escorted Zhou Hui out of the office with a smile. After he was finally clean for a while, he picked up the newspaper on the table and read it. Since I started this business myself, I have been buying all the newspapers in Hong Kong every day, even when I am away.

Li Zhiwen was lying on his boss’ chair, looking at the newspaper, and suddenly read in the South China Morning Post that “On October 3, Iran’s exiled King Mohammed Reza Pahlavi became seriously ill and the United States allowed him to enter for treatment. Iran expressed strong protest. Khomeini and the leftists asked the king to extradite back to China for trial and execution."

   After seeing this news, Li Zhiwen remembered that because of the Iranian revolution, international crude oil prices have skyrocketed. In December 1979, the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, which would cause a rush to buy gold. Li Zhiwen read an article in his previous life. It said that on New Year's Day in 1980, the price of gold per ounce would rise to US$650, and at the end of January, the price of gold per ounce had soared to more than US$850. The current price of gold is less than 450 US dollars per ounce. U.S. dollars, this is a big deal.

   Li Zhiwen sorted out his own money, and now there are probably more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars. He can take advantage of this gold price increase and make a futures, and then sell it when the gold price reaches more than 800 US dollars in January next year.

   Just do it, Li Zhihao picked up the phone on the desk and left it to Zheng Xin to call. After all, he only knew Zheng Xin about stock futures.

   "Mr. Zheng, this is Li Zhiwen." Li Zhiwen said.

"It turned out to be Mr. Li, how are you doing?" Zheng Xin said with a smile, not to blame him, because Li Zhiwen previously analyzed that Wharf stocks would rise, and Zheng Xin himself invested a bit. Now Wharf has risen from 23 Hong Kong dollars. It was 33 Hong Kong dollars, so he paid special attention to Li Zhiwen's actions. Unfortunately, since Li Zhiwen bought the Wharf stocks, there have been no extra actions, which made him a little bit disappointed. Now Li Zhiwen is calling again, there should be new actions.

   "Fortunately, Mr. Zheng, how many shares have been purchased in Wharf now" Li Zhiwen asked.

   Zheng Xin replied: "All the purchases have been completed, because the Wharf stocks have risen a little later, UU reading www.uukanshu.com bought a total of 1.3 million shares, which are now worth 42.9 million."

   "Thank Mr. Zheng, but the main purpose of this call is not this. I want to ask if you have any contacts on the gold futures exchange?"

   "Mr. Li is optimistic about the rise in gold?" Zheng Xin answered the question.

"Yes, I just saw a report that Iran is making a revolution, and this will definitely affect the country's crude oil exports. Once Iran's crude oil exports weaken, international oil prices must rise. You must know that the price of gold is very much related to the price of crude oil. It's related." Li Zhiwen said.

   "Then what does Mr. Li want me to do?" Zheng Xin asked.

"I want to mortgage the shares of Wharf as last time, and then enter the futures exchange." Li Zhiwen said, although Li Zhiwen knows Liu Cong’s phone number, Liu Cong was introduced by Zheng Xin after all. Besides, he also needs Zheng Xin’s contacts now. Therefore, it is most suitable to pass Zheng Xin.

   "No problem, I will let my subordinates connect with Liu Cong, but the futures exchange has not yet started trading gold futures. According to internal sources, it may be launched next year," Zheng Xin said.

   Where did Li Zhiwen wait until next year, and some anxiously asked: "Then how can Hong Kong buy gold futures now?"

Zheng Xin said: “Now all major banks in Hong Kong can sell London gold on consignment for Hong Kong citizens, earning a fee in the middle. For example, HSBC is a market maker of London gold. If Mr. Li wants to buy it, I can introduce it to you in the middle. ."

   "Thank you Mr. Zheng, then." Li Zhiwen said. Fortunately, he asked Zheng Xin. It would be no good not to go directly to the futures exchange and make a joke.

   "It's okay, Mr. Li, come out for tea together another day." Zheng Xin said.

   "Definitely, definitely." After saying that, Li Zhiwen hung up the phone.
