Chapter 434: Expanding the Media Empire

Tycoon Wang Zifan made a move, and the Hang Seng Index rose 90 pointsโ€”โ€” Apple Daily

Wang Zifan and Li Jiacheng joined forces to attack and stabilize Hong Kong...... "Ming Pao"

Tycoons express their support, and Hong Kong's future is brightโ€”โ€” Oriental Daily

After habitually reading several heavyweight newspapers and periodicals for a few days, Wang Zifan suddenly had more ideas, it was time to buy a giant newspaper, thinking about Li Jiacheng a few days ago because several newspapers scolded him for 'capitalist roaders', 'family immigration', 'transfer of assets', etc., so he hurriedly ran to ask for cooperation, it can be seen that the richer he is, the more he will pay attention to word of mouth, and to get word of mouth, there is nothing more than let the newspaper and magazine tout it every day!

Just like today's "Apple Daily", the credit is directly placed on his head, weakening the influence of Li Jiacheng and Bao Yugang!

It's a pity that ninety percent of the readers of "Apple Daily" are at the bottom of the bitter haha, which can't affect the views of the middle class and the high-end rich!

"Sing Tao Daily" has become a shareholder, and the major shareholders are very wary of him, and it is difficult to start for a while!

The big boss of "Oriental Daily" is the Ma family, and these two brothers are also ruthless characters, not easy to mess with!

The remaining soft persimmon is "Ming Pao"!

Wang Zifan thought about it and felt that the acquisition of "Ming Pao" was more reliable, on the one hand, the market value was not high, according to the current scale of the "Ming Pao" group, 100 million yuan could be settled, and most of the readers of "Ming Pao" were middle-class elites, Wang Zifan now can't look down on bitterness haha, they worship money, whoever has money will worship whom, if he goes bankrupt one day, worship will become ridicule!

decided to control "Ming Pao", Wang Zifan began to pay special attention to Jin Yong, entrusted various relationships to test, and only after having to put me on the horse, did he go out in person!

The Peninsula!

Tea time!

Wang Zifan entered the hotel and came to an observation deck according to his memory, and sure enough, he found Jin Yong sitting alone at a table, his eyes looking out the window from time to time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ€‚ info sipping his coffee slowly.

"Hey, Uncle Cha, what a coincidence!" Wang Zifan pretended to meet by chance, and stopped beside Jin Yong, looking very surprised.

Jin Yong didn't poke it either, and said with a smile: "Afan, it's a coincidence." โ€

"Can I sit down and talk to Uncle Cha?"

"Sit down. โ€

"Thank you!"

Jin Yong thought to himself, if it weren't for my Mingbao Group, you would be so polite as a sniper?

Wang Zifan smiled and praised the coffee as good, but his mind was not here. Today's main purpose is to make friends with Jin Yong, increase favorability, and strive to buy "Ming Pao" from the other party.

Jin Yong sighed: "This hotel has also passed for decades, time is fleeting, and years are hard to find." Looking back, it's just a few autumns. โ€

"Uncle Cha is really out of the way, hehe......" Wang Zifan is a little embarrassed, his thesis skills, he can't compare to Jin Yong in a hundred!

Jin Yong laughed at himself, had a feeling of playing the piano to the cow, and changed the topic: "Listen to the sixth uncle, Ah Fan, you also have a lot to do in the newspaper industry?"

It seems that the tycoon still has face!

Wang Zifan said modestly: "It's just a small achievement." โ€

Jin Yong said: "Apple Daily sells tens of thousands of copies a day, among the major newspapers in Hong Kong. Being in the top three is no small achievement!"

Apple Daily's means of operation. Jin Yong knows very well, this newspaper only took one year to complete the road of "Ming Pao" for decades, relying on hyping celebrity scandals, this kind of means, Jin Yong disdains to do, and lowers the grade of "Ming Pao".

Wang Zifan felt that Jin Yong's tone was a little wrong, swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and said on the spot: "Uncle Cha's "Ming Pao" is the Taishan Beidou of the Hong Kong newspaper industry, I have always hoped that "Apple Daily" will learn from "Ming Pao", but unfortunately the editor-in-chief of the newspaper Zhou objected, so this matter was shelved. โ€

Jin Yong said lightly: "The sixth uncle has talked to me, and he hopes that you can take over "Ming Pao", but "Ming Pao" is the hard work of half my life, and I can't act hastily." โ€

Wang Zifan said solemnly: "Don't hide it from Uncle Cha, I am indeed very interested in "Ming Pao", of course, I don't want Uncle Cha to be embarrassed, I am willing to pay the highest price to buy it." โ€

Jin Yong asked: "If I hand over Ming Pao to you, how do you plan to manage it?"

Wang Zifan understands that this is Jin Yong's test for him, and he will lose points if he cowers, so he might as well take a bold gamble, thought for a while, and said calmly: "The management model remains the same, "Ming Pao" still follows the old way, and I hope that Mr. Jin Yong will serve as the honorary chairman of "Ming Pao". โ€

Jin Yong couldn't help laughing, this was not deliberately to please him, but also to the famous prince Fan who could say it!

Wang Zifan took the opportunity to say: "Actually, I admire Uncle Cha, when "Ming Pao" was established, he was poor and white, and he relied on his uncle's pen to tide over the difficulties. โ€

This is the prince's compliment, his family has a big business, not to mention three million Hong Kong dollars, that is, 30 million, 300 million, he also loses, but Jin Yong's entrepreneurial experience he did see, in 1959, Zha Liangyong invested 80,000 yuan, Shen Bao invested 20,000 yuan, co-founded "Ming Pao", published a daily. In the early days of the journal, Shen Bao was in charge of business, Jin Yong was in charge of editorial affairs, and Pan Yue was their assistant. Although they kept changing the content of the supplement and changing the news route, Jin Yong even wrote "The Condor Heroes" despite illness, but "Ming Pao" still slid step by step to the road of "sound dogs and horses", with sales fluctuating between 1,000 copies, and a serious deficit in the first year. "Ming Pao's long-time employees remember his hard work, often writing all night, and on the other hand, he was troubled by financial problems, and for a while he had to rely on pawns to maintain Ming Pao.

According to the old staff of "Ming Pao", "Mr. Cha was really miserable at that time, he was tired from work in the afternoon, so he ordered a cup of coffee and drank it with Mrs. Cha. At that time, Jin Yong lived in Tsim Sha Tsui, and the Star Ferry had stopped sailing late at night, so he had to take the electric boat commonly known as "Bang La Bang" to cross the sea.

Whenever they got off work late at night, the Star Ferry had already stopped sailing, so they had to take an electric boat to cross the sea, but they had to wait for six people to start the boat each time, and the boat fare was relatively cheap. If you want to open immediately, you need a charter fee of three yuan. The couple would rather wait in the cool wind in the middle of the night than charter a boat to cross the sea.

"It is not easy for "Ming Pao" to have today, whether it is fame or significance, it is not comparable to "Apple Daily". Wang Zifan sighed, quietly observed Jin Yong's face, secretly excited, and the other party seemed to be relieved!

Jin Yong did show a satisfied look, Wang Zifan saw Ming Pao, he was mixed, and now he is relieved!

Wang Zifan was secretly happy!

Look!

Wear it or don't wear it!

Cultural people prefer sycophants!

Jin Yong said with a smile: "You can understand the best, "Ming Pao" and "Apple Daily" have different positioning, "Ming Pao" sells 80,000 copies, and most of the readers are elites, which is diametrically opposed to "Apple Daily". โ€

What Uncle Cha said is that Ming Pao has always adhered to the position of Zhongzheng, which is recognized by everyone as an authoritative newspaper. Wang Zifan calmed down his excited mood, the more this time, the more calm he had to be!
