"Oh, why did you recommend your cousin? According to your previous introduction, he should be a person who is not very capable! Is it because he is your cousin?" Lin Cheng did not obey her because of his close relationship with Huo Wenxi, but questioned the candidate she recommended in person.

Huo Wenxi replied: "It is undeniable that my cousin is a person who has no ability to innovate, but his execution is beyond doubt. In the most prosperous years of "Daily Express", my uncle was already sick in bed, and my cousin had always taken care of the affairs of the newspaper alone, and my uncle just provided him with some constructive advice. ”

Lin Cheng said disdainfully: "Hehe, newspaper media has always been that there is no vitality without innovation, and your cousin has no innovation ability, which dooms him to only go from one failure to another, why should I consider him?!"

Huo Wenxi smiled when he heard this: "Isn't there a genius like you in innovation, we only need the execution of our cousin!"

Lin Cheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and it took a long time before he suddenly realized: "You are right, from this point of view, your cousin is indeed the person I need the most." However, what I need to know is whether his political attitude is to the left or to the right, if it is to the right, then there is no need to talk about it, I am from the mainland, and I will not let my newspapers scold my motherland every day, this is the bottom line of my principle. ”

Huo Wenxi glanced at Lin Cheng and said: "My cousin has always had a good impression of the mainland of the motherland, even if there is occasional criticism of the mainland, it is just hatred of iron and steel, don't worry about this." You must know that when there was a big flood in eastern Guangdong in 92, my cousin also donated 100,000 yuan to the people in the disaster area in eastern Guangdong!"

Lin Cheng nodded: "That's good, arrange a time to meet your cousin, and you can also talk about the acquisition by the way, if he is really good, then I will use him." ”

"Okay, I'll arrange for him to come and see you tomorrow morning. Huo Wenxi smiled.

……

Paul Li has been having a very bad time recently, firstly, his career has fallen into a trough, and secondly, his wife is clamoring to divorce him in his life, which makes him feel that he is about to collapse, and the idea of committing suicide by jumping off a building faintly arises in his heart.

Especially when his father passed away, "Daily Express" was still one of the top ten newspapers in Xiangjiang, and its circulation has always been among the top five, but when his father passed away and took over the newspaper, Paul Li, who only knew Cao Sui Xiaogui and did not know innovation, quickly brought "Daily Express" to a low point.

In addition, the "Apple Daily" with the same positioning in 95 years was born, and the "Daily Express" was even more sluggish, and now it has degenerated to the point of bankruptcy.

What made him even worse was that his wife also made a fuss at this time, and people who were almost in their fifties actually divorced him, saying that they would split up with him and live another family, which was too big a blow to Paul Li, so big that he couldn't bear it.

Now Paul Li is almost alone, the eldest son doesn't like the mainland, he has immigrated to Canada before the return of Xiangjiang, but the younger daughter dresses up like a little sister all day long and goes out to nightclubs every night to fool around, there is no difference between having children and not having children.

As soon as he thought of this, Paul Li only felt that all thoughts were lost, there was no hope in life, and in a trance, Paul Li came to the roof of a building, and he felt that he could get rid of all his troubles and troubles as long as he jumped.

However, at this time, Paul Li's eldest brother pinned to the belt rang with a "jingle bell", and Paul Li subconsciously answered the phone and said listlessly: "Hey, is it a debt collector? I told you that there is a life for money, do you want it?"

Huo Wenxi on the other end of the phone said angrily: "Uncle Cousin is my literary girl, my boss wants to buy "Daily Express" and wants to talk to you, do you have free time?"

"What! Your boss wants to buy the "Daily Express"?" Huo Wenxi's words finally called back Paul Li's soul, he looked down and almost fell headlong into the street, it turned out that he had unknowingly climbed the fence of the rooftop, as long as Huo Wenxi's phone came a few seconds late, he would fall from the rooftop and become a puddle of flesh.

"Yes, you know Lin Cheng, the magic boy from the mainland who is reported in the financial news every day, he wants to buy a newspaper in Xiangjiang, cousin, isn't your newspaper listed for sale for half a year and no one cares, so I recommended "Daily Express" to him. Huo Wenxi explained.

"Oh yes, thank you so much, my cousin didn't hurt you in vain, and actually brought your cousin such a big water fish (Cantonese dialect, describing people who are stupid and have a lot of money)!" said Paul Li with great gratitude after jumping off the fence in a hurry.

"Not only that, but I also recommended to my boss that you continue to be the manager of the newspaper, Uncle Cousin, and my boss is only responsible for providing funds and some constructive suggestions to the newspaper, and you are still in charge of other matters of the newspaper. Huo Wenxi proudly invited merit.

"Oh, Wennu, you are really my reincarnated parents! I have a lot of free time now, big water fish...... Oh no, when is your boss meeting me?" asked Paul Lee excitedly.

"Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, you can come to Shangri-La Hotel to call me, and I will talk to the boss now!" Huo Wenxi said proudly.

"What, you're dating the wonder boy? Oh, your ancestral grave is going to smoke, the wonder boy has nearly five billion assets, you don't have to worry about sharing one or two hundred million bags for your life!"

"I didn't think about sharing his property, now I help him manage an entertainment company with a market value of tens of millions, and he also gave me millions worth of shares, as long as I make the entertainment company bigger, I can make a lot of money myself, and I don't need him to support me. Huo Wenxi said.

"Your idea is very reasonable, I have also seen through it over the years, the so-called relying on heaven and earth is better than relying on yourself, and having money is the last word to ensure happiness. Paul Lee said with emotion.

"Uncle Cousin, then it's decided, I'm going to go to the mainland to register a company now, let's talk about it tomorrow, bye-bye." Huo Wenxi said.

"Okay, bye-bye. Paul Lee laughed.

After hanging up the phone, Paul Li felt like he had a new life, and couldn't help but sing and dance on the rooftop and cheered, and the building administrator who peeked outside the rooftop door had already discovered Paul Li's abnormality, and he wanted to call the police when Paul Li was going to jump off the building, but then Paul Li gave up the idea of jumping off the building for some reason.

Just when the building administrator thought that there was nothing wrong, Li Paul jumped and screamed like crazy, and then the administrator did not hesitate, and dialed three nine to the female policeman and said: "Hey, is it a bad guy, I am the administrator of the Modern Building, I want to report to you, there is an idiot on the roof of our building who is going crazy, I am afraid that he will jump off the roof, so I call the police to you." ”

"Yes, sir, my fellow will be here in ten minutes. The policewoman said politely.

Ten minutes later, Paul Lee was taken away by the patrol police who arrived and charged him with misconduct in a public place, and fined him 500 Hong Kong dollars, which made Paul Li cry and laugh.

……

In fact, Paul Li is very handsome and has an extremely elegant appearance, which makes people think that he is a very literate intellectual. Unfortunately, the pressure of life weighed him down, but the man in his forties had deep wrinkles on his face, and the folds of his face could almost kill a fly.

When Lin Cheng looked at Paul Li in the Western restaurant of Shangri-La Hotel, in fact, Paul Li was also looking at the darling of the Xiangjiang media in front of him, the wonder boy from the mainland - Lin Cheng.

After the two looked at each other for more than ten seconds, as the master, Lin Cheng took the initiative to stretch out his palm to Paul Li and said, "Hello, Li Sheng." ”

Although Paul Li is in charge of a newspaper, he still looks very restrained in the face of Lin Cheng, a rich man, and when he saw Lin Cheng stretching out his palm, he hurriedly wiped his hand on the clothes on his body, and said respectfully: "Hello, Lin Sheng." ”

Huo Wenxi, as the introducer of the two, naturally had to act as a lubricant, she smiled and livened up the atmosphere: "One of you is my boyfriend, the other is my cousin, everyone is relatives and friends, why are you so restrained, come on, let's have a drink first." ”

Lin Cheng and Li Paul blushed a little when Huo Wenxi said it, everyone looked at each other and smiled, raised their goblins, and drank them all.

Then Lin Cheng picked up the menu and handed it to Paul Li, and said with a smile: "Since Li Sheng is Sister Wen's cousin, then he is my elder, I will also call you Uncle Li, you can order whatever dishes you like, there is no need to be polite between us." ”

After all, Paul Li is a person who has died once, and he has already seen everything, he didn't say polite to Lin Cheng, and ordered several hard dishes after taking the menu.

At first, the three of them just chatted while eating, and after everyone was full of wine and food, they returned to the topic, and Paul Li took the lead in asking: "I heard from my cousin and niece that Lin Sheng intends to buy "Daily Express"?"

Lin Cheng pondered for a few seconds and said, "Well, Uncle Li might as well introduce the situation of the newspaper first." ”

Of course, Paul Li knows his newspaper well, and for the sake of Lin Cheng is niece's boyfriend, he has nothing to hide, and replied honestly: "Although the "Daily Express" has now degenerated to the point of bankruptcy, all because I don't want to reduce the number of people, in order to feed a large group of people in the newspaper, I have been operating in debt for the past few years, and now the newspaper owes 1 million Hong Kong dollars to the bank, 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars to the printing factory and the publisher, and the large and small debts add up to a total of 2.5 million debts. ”

Paul Li was also afraid that the newspaper's huge debt would scare Lin Cheng away, so he immediately changed his words and said: "However, although the newspaper owes a huge debt, our "Daily Express" is an old newspaper for more than 30 years after all, and there is a very fixed readership group in Xiangjiang, and our newspaper's news department, comment department, culture department, and editorial department are ...... All departments are fully equipped, with more than 100 employees, as long as Lin Sheng buys our newspaper, he can continue to publish the newspaper the next day. ”
