Chapter 485: Return to the Color [Three Changes]
"Li Zhiying had close contacts with Ni Yu and Ni Zhen father and son during this time, and I heard that he gathered a group of reporters to collect evidence about Mr. Lin and several female celebrities dating at the same time, preparing to be the blockbuster news when the magazine was launched...... If Mr. Lin doesn't believe it, he can investigate it himself. ”
Hu Xian said this, although Lin Youlun definitely went back to verify it afterwards, but in fact he already believed it, because judging from the style of Li Zhiying who founded "Next Magazine" in later generations, even if this matter is not as serious as Hu Xian said, it will definitely not wronged him too much.
The news about Lin Youlun's relationship with several female celebrities at the same time has been hyped many times by the Hong Kong media, even if Li Zhiying comes up with more evidence, it will not have much impact on Lin Youlun, but Lin Youlun is very unhappy that others use his own matter to hype up the eyeballs, and Li Zhiying committed Lin Youlun's taboo at this point.
If Lin Youlun ignores it this time, others will follow suit in the future, run new newspapers or magazines, and turn over this matter and hype it up at every turn, then Lin Youlun will not be annoyed to death.
What made Lin Youlun feel even more angry was that Ni Yu and Ni Zhen, the father and son, also followed the wind and rain, and they had already let them go last time, and they still wanted to go against themselves, and if they didn't show them a little color, they really had a good temper?
"Ms. Hu, don't worry, if what you say is true, the "Ming Pao Group" will definitely cooperate with your actions this time!" Lin Youlun agreed to Hu Xian's joint proposal on the spot.
The joint boycott of the "Ming Pao Group", "Sing Tao" Newspaper, and "Oriental Daily" Group can indeed make it difficult for him in the early days of the establishment of Li Zhiying magazine, but as long as Li Zhiying gritted his teeth and survived the initial period. The degree of openness to compete with Hong Kong media. In fact, it is impossible to completely shut down Lai's new magazine. So Lin Youlun also thought of another way.
After saying goodbye to Hu Xian and returning by car, Lin Youlun asked his assistant Ajie to do one thing immediately, that is, to check whether the three names of "Next Magazine", "Apple Daily", and "Suddenly Weekly" have been registered, and if not, they will be registered immediately.
Since Li Zhiying wants to choose to be right with himself, then Lin Youlun doesn't need to be polite to him anymore, and preemptively register all the media names founded by Li Zhiying in the future, and see what he will do in the future!
——
Ni Zhen went home from work that day. Ni Yu was sitting in the living room waiting for him.
"Come with me to the study!"
Ni Zhen followed Ni Yu into the study in a daze, and as soon as the door closed, Ni Yu put on a straight face and asked him, "What are you and Li Zhiying doing during this time?" ”
"Mr. Li is going to make a magazine and asks me to help him come up with ideas...... Why did you suddenly care about this? Ni Yu replied with a relaxed expression.
"Do you know about Li Zhiying's poaching from the "Sing Tao" newspaper group?" Ni Yu resisted the urge to scold and continued to ask patiently.
"Zhilu Dao, I also persuaded Mr. Li about this matter, but he was in a hurry to make the magazine, so he used such a method." At this time, Ni Zhen finally saw that his father's expression was a little wrong, and he became much more cautious in his speech.
Ni Yu stared at him. "Do you know the consequences of what he did?"
"I don't think that's a big deal, is it?" Ni Zhen didn't understand why his father would react so much, "The turnover of people in newspapers and magazines is already large. Mr. Lai just poached a few people from the "Sing Tao" newspaper, so there wouldn't be any serious consequences, right? ”
"Qian shouldn't forget, Li Zhiying shouldn't dig Hu Xian's people, this woman has a good face, how can it be so easy to give up?" Ni Yu said angrily.
The main reason why Hu Xian hosted the second Academy Awards was to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the "Sing Tao" newspaper, and becoming the organizer of the film festival was a good exposure opportunity.
"Hu Xian can manage the "Sing Tao" newspaper, can she still manage things on others?" Ni Zhen felt that Hu Xian's reaction was a bit of a big deal, but he didn't think it was a very serious matter.
"The "Sing Tao" newspaper family will not have much effect on Li Zhiying, but if Hu Xian unites the Ma brothers and Lin Youlun, do you think Li Zhiying's life will be better?"
Ni Yu threw out this sentence, and Ni Zhen was stunned for a long time before saying, "This is unlikely, right?" ”
Indeed, this news is a bit unbelievable, "Sing Tao Daily", "Ming Pao" and "Oriental Daily", the three newspapers with the largest circulation in Hong Kong, have always been in competition in business, and it will be really difficult for Ni Zhen to accept that these three newspaper companies will take the initiative to unite against Lai Zhiying.
"Oriental Daily" and "Sing Tao" newspaper joined forces, "Ming Pao" and "Sing Tao" newspaper began to deal with the "Sing Tao" newspaper from the Jin Yong era, the two sides often broke out pen wars, this tradition was also continued to Lin Youlun's hands, a while ago the two newspaper groups because of competition to acquire Yulang International had a hand, "Sing Tao" newspaper successfully acquired Yulang International, Lin Youlun supported Ma Rongcheng to set up a stove to establish the world comic company, the contradiction between the two sides was intensified again.
"I don't know about Ming Pao, but the editor-in-chief of Oriental Daily has already revealed to me that they are going to join forces with Sing Tao to boycott Lai's new magazine." Ni Yu is a special columnist for the Oriental Daily, and he will certainly not be wrong when he hears the news.
Ni Zhen frowned, this matter is indeed very tricky, and then the biggest variable now is whether Lin Youlun will be involved, if the three major newspaper groups are suppressed together, no matter how big Li Zhiying's ability is, this time he will definitely make a big mistake, but this is not what Ni Zhen wants to see.
"There's no need to guess anymore, Lin Youlun will definitely agree, and his reaction may be more ruthless than Hu Xian!" Ni Yu asserted.
"I haven't heard that Mr. Li and Lin Youlun have had any festivals before?" Ni Zhen really couldn't figure it out, "Is it because of me?" ”
Ni Yu sneered, "If you have such a big face, you won't need me to go to Mr. Cha for help last time." ”
Ni Zhen's face flushed. Although he has always regarded Lin Youlun as an opponent. But he is really nothing in Lin Youlun's eyes. If it weren't for the fact that he was Ni Yu's son, maybe Lin Youlun wouldn't even have the interest of knowing his name.
"What's that?"
"Li Zhiying definitely didn't tell you that he is collecting evidence that Lin Youlun and several female celebrities are dating at the same time, if you are Lin Youlun, how would you react?" Ni Yu asked angrily.
Ni Zhen's eyes widened, thinking that Li Zhiying's magazine had not yet been launched, and he had set up so many enemies for himself, this person really dared to think and dare to do it.
Ni Yu's evaluation of Li Zhiying is that he does not know the current situation and does not measure himself. But Ni Zhen put forward a different view.
"If Mr. Li really does this, then I admire him very much."
"Admire a fart, do you think that Li Zhiying expressed his political position in such a high-profile manner, and even did not hesitate to transfer the clothing brand he founded to others for this reason, is it really because his thinking is more advanced than others? He's a businessman who started by selling clothes, and he talks about bullshit politics, and it's not like someone behind him is instructing him to do it. Speaking of Lin Youlun's side, although "Ming Pao" has always adhered to a neutral attitude, whether it is Mr. Cha or Lin Youlun, their positions are actually pro-mainland. Even if Li Zhiying does not engage in Lin Youlun's scandal, Lin Youlun will definitely use this incident to show his own position and attitude. The actual purpose of these two people is not simple, but you are self-righteous and want to get involved. Ni Zhen's words scolded Ni Zhen for being bloody, but in fact, it was also to remind him that it was okay to have his own attitude, but don't follow Li Zhiying to be used as a gun by others.
Ni Zhen's mouth moved, but he couldn't refute it, if things were really like what Ni Yu said, he would now regret that he had a relationship with Li Zhiying.
——
"Nissa, how's it going?" A short, stocky middle-aged man walked to the door of the living room, his head neatly trimmed and shiny.
Mr. Lai, who appears to be in his mid-thirties, is in fact in his forties, and has been at a low point in his life after the setback of having to sell the clothing brand he had started, but has recently found a new purpose.
His current wife, Nissa, was a former reporter for the South China Morning Post, and the two met in an interview, and Lai Zhiying did not hesitate to chase him to the UK to show his feelings, and finally moved the other party, and the two had just registered their marriage.
Lai's decision to enter the media industry was also made with Nissa's support.
"Zhiying, or don't publish this news in our inaugural issue, although this matter will indeed attract a lot of people's attention and help our magazine become famous, but at the same time, it will also completely offend Lin Youlun." Nissa had just returned from outside, with a sad look on her face.
"Did you hear anything bad?" Li Zhiying's face changed, and she suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.
"Because of the fact that you poached people from the "Sing Tao" Daily, Hu Xian didn't know what conditions Lu Dao used to persuade the Ma brothers of the "Oriental Daily", and they decided to join forces with "Ming Pao" and issued a statement to ban all advertisers who cooperate with our magazine." Nissa said worriedly, knowing the power of the three major newspaper groups together, with at least half of the advertisers refusing to advertise in their new magazines.
"It doesn't matter, I'm going to do it as a long-term business, so in the first few years, I'm ready to keep throwing money into it. Hong Kong's media industry is not something that the three major newspaper groups can cover the sky with one hand, as long as the sales of our magazines are opened, those advertisers will definitely take the initiative to come to the door. Besides, the three major newspaper groups are competitors to each other, and I believe that they will not be united for a long time, so we only need to get through the first period and the situation will improve. Li Zhiying is not very worried about this.
The couple were discussing the matter when suddenly the phone rang in the living room.
Ji-young told Nissa to continue sitting and resting, and he walked over and picked up the microphone.
"Boss, no, our magazine name has been preemptively registered!" An angry voice came from the other end of the line.
"What, you tell me again?" Li Zhiying's face was already a little dark, and when she was angry, she was black and red, and her eyes, which were a little bulging, looked like they were about to come out of her eyes, with thick and thick eyebrows, and her hands crossed her waist, as if she wanted to swallow the person on the other end of the phone.
The other end of the phone repeated what she had just said again, Li Zhiying's eyes widened, her heart was like a piston of a steam engine, she was rushed to the top by the air waves, screamed, like a long whistle when the train started, grabbed the teacup on the table, and slammed it to the ground.
"Who did it?" Li Zhiying yelled at the microphone.
"I checked, it's the "Ming Pao" group, they registered the name of "Next Magazine" three days ago, and then it was also registered with "Apple Daily......" The person on the other end of the phone was probably also frightened by Li Zhiying's reaction, and didn't dare to continue.
Nissa walked over and grabbed Li Zhiying, who was about to continue smashing things, and motioned him with her eyes to calm down and ask him about the situation first.
Li Zhiying suppressed the anger in her heart and asked her subordinates to explain the situation in detail.
After listening, Li Zhiying slammed the microphone on the landline, her round face turned purple, and her two eyes were like two fireballs, spewing anger.
"It's Lin Youlun's ghost, he registered the name of the magazine we thought of in advance!"
Nissa didn't behave as irrationally as Jimmy Lai, and she wondered how Lin Youlun knew that the name of their new magazine was "Next Magazine", and only a few people knew about it except for her and Jimmy Lai.
"There must be a ghost leaking the news!" Li Zhiying gritted her teeth and said, and swore even more that if you find that leaker, you must make him look good!
"I think maybe it's just a coincidence." Nissa analyzed calmly.
"Coincidence?" Li Zhiying also showed a puzzled expression on her face, but quickly shook her head again, "How can there be such a coincidence in the world, just before we registered, "Ming Pao" also thought of making a magazine with the same name?" ”
"You're right, but you forgot that if Ming Pao wants to register this name, you have to submit an application at least a month in advance, and at that time, the new magazine will have the name "Next Magazine", only me and you, you will never suspect that I leaked the news to Lin Youlun Zhidao, right?" Nissa asked rhetorically.
Li Zhiying was speechless for a while, according to Nisha, there is really no other reason to explain this matter except for coincidence.
"I think there's room for things to turn around, maybe we can try to buy the magazine name back from Lin Youlun." Nissa made such a suggestion, and Li Zhiying touched her fat chin and fell into deep thought.
