Chapter 260: Ambition

"It is also a police officer, Die Hard and the police story is as exciting, but compared with the police story, Die Hard has fewer dangerous action scenes, but it is more popular because of the many gunfight scenes.

In the first two years, the provincial and Hong Kong flag soldiers were not popular, and they could not only have influence in Hong Kong, not even in Southeast Asia, let alone Europe and the United States. Qiao Feng smiled helplessly and shook his head.

Lin Qingxia, who was sitting opposite, smiled and changed a newspaper and continued to read: " With the popular release of Die Hard in the world, Cheng Long has taken a solid step towards Hollywood, and Golden Harvest's long-cherished wish for several years has finally come true, but the most important thing is that Golden Harvest helped Cheng Long hug Qiao Feng's thigh, Hong Kong has entered a three-legged period, but in this context, Qiao Feng has quietly risen, and a few months ago, with the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line changing hands Qiao Feng taking over, Hong Kong films officially ushered in the era of Qiao Feng's hegemony."

"What kind of newspaper is this, it's such an exaggeration." Qiao Feng asked funny.

"Oriental Daily." Lin Qingxia's red lips opened slightly, and spit out four words.

"No wonder." Qiao Feng knew that when he published it before, two of them were in cooperation with Oriental Daily, and they were old acquaintances, but as Qiao Feng and Jin Yong got in touch with each other and began to publish them in Ming Pao, the cooperation between the two sides ended.

However, with the official appointment of Jin Yong as a member of the Drafting Committee for the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in May, he had no time to take care of his responsibilities, and the Oriental Daily changed its unkind attitude towards Qiao Feng in the past and became more relaxed.

At that time, Qiao Feng went to the mainland and didn't know much about the situation, and when he came back, he suddenly received a phone call from Ma Yanqiang, the owner of Oriental Daily, and invited him to meet, Qiao Feng went, and met Ma Yanqiang straight to the point, hoping that Qiao Feng would return to the Oriental Daily serial.

When Qiao Feng was serialized in Oriental Daily, it was when the sales of Oriental Daily were rising, and after Qiao Feng was serialized in Ming Pao, the sales of Oriental Daily fell sharply, but the sales of Ming Pao began to soar.

In the past, Ma Yanqiang felt that he had no chance to pull Qiao Feng back to Oriental Daily, because whether it was Jin Yong or Ming Pao, in addition to money, in terms of fame and influence, they were stronger than Oriental Daily.

This is also the reason why Jin Yong does not pay for the manuscript, but there are still so many well-known authors, and film critics will stay in Ming Pao to open columns, serials, and essays.

However, Qiao Feng is very rich, not bad at all, otherwise Qiao Feng would not have left the Oriental Daily and ran to Ming Pao.

However, after Jin Yong was elected as a member of the Basic Law Committee, Ma Yanqiang felt that his opportunity had come, because after that, Jin Yong had repeatedly told people that he would focus on the drafting of the Basic Law in the future, and he would not have much time to take care of Ming Pao's affairs.

And if a TV series wants to have good ratings, it must be built on the basis of good sales, if newspaper sales decline, it means that sales will decline, and the number of people will decrease.

If Qiao Feng didn't want this to happen, leaving Ming Pao and changing to a better newspaper with stable sales was the only choice.

Ma Yanqiang felt that he had grasped Qiao Feng's heart, so he asked Qiao Feng to come out and persuade Qiao Feng to return to the Oriental Daily for serialization, and the manuscript fee would be the highest in today's Hong Kong literary circle.

But the result was that Qiao Feng refused without hesitation.

Don't look at Ma Yanqiang is a lame man on crutches, but his temperament is not lame at all, just like a dog skin plaster.Ma Yanqiang felt that Qiao Feng must not be able to wipe his face and part ways with Ming Pao, so he repeatedly asked Qiao Feng to lobby and persuade him, and also asked his reporters and editors to strictly prohibit reporting on gossip and scandals about Qiao Feng in Oriental Daily, and they touted the good news to the fullest.

This is also the reason why Qiao Feng said that it was strange after hearing Lin Qingxia say that it was Oriental Daily.

Ma Yanqiang guessed one thing correctly, Qiao Feng does pay more attention to the derived TV series, but the most important thing he didn't guess is Qiao Feng's ambition for Ming Pao.

Qiao Feng has always had ambitions for Ming Pao since he met Jin Yong at the celebration banquet that he defected to the Angry Sea, and agreed to be serialized in Ming Pao.

If this ambition is told to others, others may think that Qiao Feng is whimsical, how can Jin Yong change the understanding he founded to others, not to mention that the report is a golden rooster that only lays eggs, and there are a lot of profits every year in his hands, and a fool will sell it.

But only Qiao Feng knew that after four years, Jin Yong would step down as the president of Ming Pao, and three years later, after he successfully listed Ming Pao, he would sell Ming Pao to others.

They all think that Ming Pao will be sold only if he is a fool of the golden rooster, but for Jin Yong, an old man in his sixties and seventies, he has no children who are willing to inherit Ming Pao, and he is too old to have enough energy, so what is the use of keeping Ming Pao, it is better to sell it, anyway, it can be sold for a big price.

Moreover, in addition to selling money, Jin Yong also hoped that the Ming Pao he founded could develop better. Jin Yong once again talked to people, he said: "All the people in the Ming Pao only listen to me, which can be said to be a success and a failure. Success is high efficiency, and what needs to be done can be done immediately; failure is that I leave, and things cannot be done. ”

Ming Pao is Jin Yong's newspaper alone, and Jin Yong very much hopes to change this situation, so that Ming Pao can get rid of his influence, so Qiao Feng and Jin Yong drank tea together and talked about the situation of several influential newspapers in Hong Kong, for his own Ming Pao, Jin Yong said: "The newspaper is controlled by one person, and if a person dies, the newspaper cannot survive; if it is institutionalized, even if an individual is assassinated, the newspaper can still operate." I want to make Ming Pao public, and let many people participate, otherwise if I die, Ming Pao will be torn apart and collapse. ”

Qiao Feng knew that Jin Yong would sell Ming Pao in his previous life, and now he has a good relationship with Jin Yong, so he is naturally more sure that Jin Yong will sell Ming Pao.

And since Jin Yong said several times after becoming a member of the Basic Law Drafting Committee that he would focus on the drafting of the Basic Law, Qiao Feng knew that this was Jin Yong's beginning to de-Jin Yong.

At such a time, how could Qiao Feng agree to Ma Yanqiang to kick Kaiming Daily and join the Oriental Daily, it is too late for him to increase his friendship with Jin Yong now.
