For a period of time after Huo Zhenting's wedding, basically newspapers and magazines still used this "wedding of the century" as a gimmick, making up some stories to win the attention of readers, among which the shock of the gossip "Huazi Daily" was the most eye-catching.

The man in the trench coat can be said to be an old employee of "Huazi Daily", he is not only a paparazzi, but also an excellent writer, exaggerating some of the inside information he received, and writing the story of Hong Kong sister Zhu Lingling and Huo Jiadashao into a love story of a rich and beautiful woman.

In just a few days, it suddenly overtook the "Oriental Daily" in terms of sales.

If that's all there is to it, it's nothing, but there are several newly established newspapers, all of which imitate the style of Huazi Daily, and specialize in reporting exaggerated news to attract people's attention.

The Hong Kong market is not big in the first place, and it is enough to have one "Huazi Daily", and there are several more at once, grabbing a lot of the sales share of "Oriental Daily".

This also made Li Daoguang angry, if it were other newspapers, he would definitely find a way to fight back, but it is a pity that the "Huazi Daily" that took the lead is also an industry that belongs to the global newspaper industry.

There was no way to go down, so he could only find Huo Yaowen head-on, hoping to let the boss take care of "Huazi Daily", and he couldn't continue like this, otherwise, a good newspaper would become an outlet for gossip.

in the living room.

Speaking of anger, Li Daoguang frowned and angrily rebuked: "Chairman, there are many gossip newspapers and weekly magazines in Hong Kong now, and they don't go serious to interview and track the news, but hide at home and ask a few writers to write some gossip rumors about celebrities and wealthy businessmen. ”

"Editor-in-chief Li, don't be angry, take a sip of tea first. Huo Yaowen took the teapot and added some tea to his teacup.

"Thank you, Chairman. ”

Li Daoguang picked up the small teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing that he drank tea, it seemed that he was a little deflated, Huo Yaowen said: "Editor-in-chief Li, I know your thoughts, and I understand it very well. But this situation can't be managed, as long as it does not involve real people's real names, according to the rule of law, freedom of speech, most of them write these gossip news, and most of them use pseudonyms, and it is very difficult to collect evidence. ”

Li Daoguang said: "I know this, I mean to unite with the Hong Kong Newspaper Association to put pressure on these newspapers and weeklies!"

"It's useless, even if the association is willing to come forward to put pressure, it is impossible for people to agree not to continue writing like this. ”

Huo Yaowen is very aware of the earning power of gossip weeklies and newspapers, because "Huazi Daily" is such a newspaper, and last year it earned tens of millions of dollars in all kinds of advertising fees alone, even if he was willing to give it up, it was impossible for others to give it up.

And now it's not just regular newspapers and weekly magazines that engage in these gossip news, but also many black newspapers that don't have the right to operate, and black weeklies are flooding outside, and the content of the articles they take the title of the article is not only salty and wet, but also printed some pictures of hot girls inside.

"You can't let these people mess with the newspaper industry. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Daoguang realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly explained: "Chairman, I mean that most of the articles written by these people are made up, and they are completely imaginary. ”

"Okay, Editor-in-Chief Li, I understand what you mean. ”

Huo Yaowen stopped Li Daoguang, who wanted to continue to explain, although "Huazi Daily" is biased towards gossip, it is not all gossip, but it just extends a lot of conjectures in the news content, unlike those gossip newspapers and weekly magazines, which are basically a picture at the beginning, and the content is all up to the editor.

Li Daoguang hesitated: "That...... Is that all?"

"Although it can't be controlled or eliminated, after all, newspapers are mainly publications that publish news and commentary on current affairs, so they still have to bear a certain social responsibility in the news they report. ”

Speaking of this, Huo Yaowen thought for a moment, sorted out his thoughts and said: "It's better to come forward like this, you come forward to contact the editor-in-chief of some newspapers, and then report it to the newspaper association to determine the formality of the newspaper industry and put an end to all fake news." Of course, when it comes to weekly magazines, it's just a bit more relaxed. ”

In another time and space, in the early 80s, a major event occurred in Hong Kong, a certain tabloid deliberately fabricated some false news with the help of political factors in order to sell sales, which caused the entire Hong Kong Island to fall into a panic, and many small rich and noble families sold their assets and went abroad.

Later, if the designer hadn't said "dance and dance, horse and run" and "it will not change for fifty years", I am afraid it will have a greater bad impact.

So since then, the government has imposed management on newspapers to strictly eliminate the existence of some fake news, which has led to the publication of gossip news in weekly magazines.

"That's fine. Li Daoguang thought about it, the weekly magazine is not in his charge anyway, as long as the sales of "Oriental Daily" do not decrease.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Daoguang got up and said: "Chairman, then I won't bother you, I will contact some newspapers as soon as I go back and discuss this matter with the people of the association." ”

"Well, go ahead, if you have any questions, go directly to Manager Zhang of the company. ”

"Okay chairman. ”

……

Moment.

Huo Yaowen sent Li Daoguang out, returned to the sofa, picked up the newspaper he hadn't finished reading before and continued to read.

The most striking headline on this newspaper, which was published in Ta Kung Pao this morning, reads: "The mainland has formally adopted the policy of reforming and opening up to the outside world, and at the same time opened the blockade of the Guangzhou Customs, which will be officially implemented on 1 January 1979." ”

The reform and opening up has officially begun, and you can also return to your hometown to visit relatives!

"Jingle Bell ......"

Suddenly, the phone rang in a hurry.

Huo Yaowen sat down on the telephone, picked up the microphone and said, "Hey, the side?"

"Yaowen, it's Grandma. ”

The grandma on the other end of the phone said excitedly: "Just now your old bean read the newspaper and said that Guangzhou Customs has been unsealed?"

"Well, I also saw Grandma, and I was just about to call you when you called. ”

"That'...... Does that mean we can go back? You Lao Dou said that the news seems to say that it is allowed to go back to the hometown to visit relatives. ”

"Yes, you can go back. On January 1 next year, the customs will be officially unsealed. ”

"Great, great, finally able to go back. ”

When Grandma heard that her grandson said it was true, she was very excited and a little incoherent.

"Mom, don't get too excited, this is a good thing, why are you still crying?"

"No, I didn't cry, I'm happy, I'm happy that I can finally go back to see your dad. ”

Huo Yaowen listened to the conversation between Grandma and his father on the other end of the phone, and couldn't help but take a deep breath, no wonder the last time he came back from his hometown, Grandma just happily asked some news about his hometown, and then he didn't say anything more, it turned out that he had always remembered that he could go home to see his grandfather's tomb in person.

There was a little voice on the other end that had been sparse, and after a while, Grandma didn't seem to be crying, and then she remembered that she was still talking to her grandson on the phone, and hurriedly said, "Is Yaowen still there?"

"Grandma. ”

"It's going to be the first in a few days, you contact us to see if we can really go back, if we can go back, I'll let you pack your luggage now, and our whole family will go back then." ”

"Okay, I'll ask now. ”

Huo Yaowen agreed.

When Grandma hung up the phone, he also called the newly appointed president of the new agency, Wang.

After repeatedly confirming that customs had indeed been opened and Hong Kong Island compatriots were allowed to return to their hometowns to visit relatives, Huo Yaowen hurriedly told Grandma the good news.

This time Grandma was even more excited, and Huo Yaowen hurriedly relieved a few words, saying that he would go home later, so he hung up the phone in a hurry.

After Anna sent Xiaobao and Xiaohu to kindergarten and came back, the two went back to the villa in the middle of the mountain together.

Not long after, when Huo Yaowen and Anna returned to the Mid-Levels Villa, the grandfather's family, as well as the third uncle, uncle, cousin and others, also rushed over after Grandma's notice, and a group of wanderers who had been away from their hometown for many years were excited and excited to discuss the details of this return to their hometown to visit relatives.

At the same time, except for Huo Yaowen and his family discussing returning to their hometown, the whole of Hong Kong is discussing this matter, and many citizens who have relatives and friends in the mainland have also begun to think about going back to have a look.

Overnight, the news of Ta Kung Pao set off a wave of Hong Kong Island people returning to their hometowns to visit relatives.
