—— "This Lin Youlun is good at everything, but his private life is too inappropriate, and I am really worried about handing over "Ming Pao" to him." Shen Xinbao walked into Jin Yong's office with a stack of newspapers, put the newspaper in front of Jin Yong, and pulled out a chair and sat down.

Jin Yong looked through all the newspapers he brought with great interest, and almost all of the more than 20 newspapers and magazines had articles involving Lin Youlun's scandal, which had the potential of "mountain rain and wind full of buildings".

"Why do you suddenly care about the news in these gossip tabloids?" Jin Yong smiled and put the newspaper aside, looking at Shen Xinbao with some playfulness in his eyes.

Shen Xinbao was speechless for a while, he couldn't say that he was here to be a lobbyist for Yu Pinghai?

"This kind of thing can be said to be big or big, small or small, but it is because of this uncertainty that it is even more worrying, this is like a landmine buried around me, I don't know when I step on it, and then even the reputation of "Ming Pao" will be damaged, I think this move is very unwise!" Shen Xinbao's use of "Ming Pao" as a cover does not arouse suspicion.

Jin Yong has also been embarrassed recently, he released the news of his retirement to the outside world, that is, he is ready to let Lin Youlun take over, but this kind of thing happened at this time, and the trend of public opinion in Hong Kong is very unfavorable to Lin Youlun.

"This is just my personal opinion, and I have to make up your mind in the end, so I won't say more." Shen Xinbao saw Jin Yong's hesitant expression, and knew that his words had already had an effect, and he understood the truth that he was too late, so he didn't mention Yu Pinghai from the beginning to the end, and didn't mention it until he was leaving: "Last time you said that Yu Pinghai looked like a legend, I deliberately met Yu Pinghai later, and it was really similar, this young man is good." ”

Jin Yong's hand holding the pen trembled slightly, his eldest son Cha Chuanxia has always been a pain in his heart, Shen Xinbao said this, and it touched some special emotions in his heart at once.

Jin Yong stopped what he was doing, raised his head and said, "I haven't seen that young man for a while. Why don't you arrange a dinner with Lao Shen and ask him out to sit down? ”

These words are in Shen Xinbao's arms, "Okay, I'll arrange the dinner, and the time will be set tonight, what do you think?" ”

Jin Yong hesitated slightly. Tonight, he was originally going to ask Lin Youlun to come out to discuss the transfer of the equity of "Ming Pao". But Shen Xinbao's previous words also made Jin Yong have some more worries in his heart, so Suo Xìng put this off in advance.

Shen Xinbao left happily, Jin Yong leaned on the chair with his hands folded, but he was thinking about this matter of Yu Pinghai in his heart.

Born in 1959, a native of Hong Kong, Yu graduated from the University of Saskatchewan in 1977 with a degree in political science. He left his job to work as a clerk at the Furama Hotel. In 1985, he persuaded a friend to invest 800,000 yuan, and he invested 200,000 yuan to set up a company, at that time the company did not have its own office building, Yu Pinghai was both the boss and the employee, and two years later the company was listed, and the market value has reached 600 million Hong Kong dollars.

"If there is no Lin Youlun. Yu Pinghai may really be a good successor. Jin Yong wrote Lin Youlun's name on a blank piece of paper, and then added Yu Pinghai's name next to it, thinking so in his heart.

Shen Xinbao called Yu Pinghai in the morning and told him that Jin Yong had promised to go out to eat together in the evening, but in the afternoon, he suddenly received a call from Jin Yong, saying that he was not feeling well and that he would not go to dinner in the evening.

Put down the phone. Shen Xinbao seemed to have been hit hard, and his face suddenly turned blue. His lips twitched slightly, his eyes drooped, and his head bowed. Not a word.

In the morning, I saw that Jin Yong was fine, but it was only half a day, how could he be unwell? Shen Xinbao knew that this was Jin Yong's excuse, but what puzzled him was why Jin Yong's attitude suddenly changed?

Shen Xinbao's doubts were quickly answered in the newspaper, and Hong Kong's "Economic Rì" exclusively disclosed in the latest issue of the newspaper that Yu Pinghai had committed seven counts of stealing, counterfeiting checks, illegally using other people's credit cards, and possessing firearms while studying in Canada, and was sentenced to two years in prison minus one day.

Don't talk about Jin Yong, that is, Shen Baoxin has always thought that Yu Pinghai's history is innocent, when he saw this report, Shen Xinbao only felt cold, everything was cold, from the soles of his feet to his thighs, from his fingers to his shoulder blades, from the tip of his nose to his chest, it was so cold.

Once the truth of this report is confirmed, Yu Pinghai's image in Jin Yong's mind will be completely ruined, who is so ruthless, poking out such news, it is clear that Yu Pinghai is going to be put to death.

Suddenly, Shen Xinbao thought of a possibility, and his heart tightened, like a cold snake crawling up his back.

Could it be that Lin Youlun noticed Yu Pinghai's "action", so he made such a sharp counterattack?

The more Shen Xinbao thought about it, the more he felt that there was such a possibility, what he was worried about now was not what would happen to Yu Pinghai, but that he had been in contact with Yu Pinghai so frequently during this time, since Lin Youlun could find out that Yu Pinghai was making trouble behind his back, he would naturally be able to suspect himself along the way.

As soon as he thought that he might face Lin Youlun's revenge, Shen Xinbao felt that many eyes were staring at him, like countless needles piercing him, making him unable to sleep.

After thinking about it, Shen Xinbao felt that it was better to get rid of himself from this matter first, as for Yu Pinghai, Shen Xinbao felt that he had already helped everything he could, and no one made Yu Pinghai's ass clean.

"I really didn't expect Yu Pinghai to be such a person, I have already canceled the dinner, such a person is not worthy of you and me to have a deep friendship with!" When Shen Xinbao called Jin Yong again, he was inevitably heartbroken.

Jin Yong comforted him on the phone, and after hanging up the phone, he sighed faintly, and then smiled bitterly at Lin Youlun, who was sitting opposite him, "The matter really made you guess, if Lao Shen didn't have a ghost in his heart, he would definitely not call me so soon to explain." ”

Looking at Jin Yong's gloomy expression, Lin Youlun also sighed slightly in his heart and did not answer.

"Yu Pinghai's case record was revealed by you to the media?" Old friends who have known each other for more than 30 years are still playing tricks with him, Jin Yong doesn't believe that Lin Youlun must be innocent in this matter.

Jin Yong asked this question in order to give Lin Youlun a chance to explain, but he didn't expect Lin Youlun to not explain at all, and directly admitted that he was looking for someone to do it.

"For what?" Jin Yong was a little disappointed in his eyes, Lin Youlun found out that Yu Pinghai's history was not innocent, and he could tell himself in private, so he publicly exposed ** in the media, but Jin Yong felt that it was a bit too much.

Lin Youlun's eyes were grim and firm, "I don't think I'm a saint, others respect me for three points, I respect others for one zhang, but the mud bodhisattva also has three points of anger, since Yu Pinghai dares to be the first year of junior high school, don't blame me for being fifteen!" ”

Jin Yong originally wanted to say a few more words, but his eyes caught a glimpse of the dozen newspapers that Shen Xinbao brought in the morning, and suddenly he was silent again, the wind direction of the media and public opinion during this period of time was so weird, Jin Yong had been immersed in the newspaper industry for decades, how could he hide it from his eyes.

It's just that Jin Yong has always disliked to speculate on others with malice, Lin Youlun made his words clear, and Jin Yong already knew the truth of the matter.

In Jin Yong's view, Lin Youlun's approach is violent, but he is quite frank in front of himself, which is like the protagonist in Lin Youlun's martial arts novels.

After serious reflection, Jin Yong felt that things had become the way they were, and he also had a lot of responsibility, since it had been determined that Lin Youlun would be the successor of "Ming Pao", he should cut off other people's thoughts, otherwise there would not have been so many ups and downs.

Previously, Jin Yong was worried about selling "Ming Pao" to Lin Youlun, but considering that he was too old to manage "Ming Pao" for a long time, he had the idea of listing "Ming Pao", but now that the misunderstanding has been solved, Jin Yong just wants to retire early, so he no longer mentions the listing of "Ming Pao", and only discusses with Lin Youlun when it is most appropriate to transfer the shares of "Ming Pao" to him.

Although it has been decided to take over Ming Pao, Lin Youlun does not want Jin Yong to transfer all the shares to himself at one time, Jin Yong is a banner for Ming Pao, at least in the next few years, Lin Youlun still hopes that Jin Yong can continue to hold a part of the equity of Ming Pao, which is conducive to stabilizing people's hearts and realizing a smooth transition for the entire newspaper group.

Another consideration of Lin Youlun is the need for the listing of "Ming Pao". In the course of its development over the years, Ming Pao has accumulated a lot of internal personnel problems, and promoting the listing of Ming Pao can not only raise more funds, but also solve these problems.

"Ming Pao" was originally scheduled to be listed in May and June this year, hoping to absorb 100 million Hong Kong dollars, but Lin Youlun feels that the performance of "Ming Pao" is likely to continue to improve, and the company's valuation and price-earnings ratio will be greatly improved after a two-year delay in listing.

As a result of the final discussion, Kim Yong reduced his stake in Ming Pao to 20 percent, and Lin Youlun bought 70 percent of Kim Yong's shares for HK$700 million, with Lin Youlun serving as the chairman of the board of directors of Ming Pao Enterprises Co., Ltd. and Kim Yong serving as honorary chairman.

The day after the equity transaction was completed, Ming Pao published a speech by Kim Yong: "In the past decade, I have been keen to seek a young man who is intelligent, capable, enthusiastic about journalism, and sincere in his efforts, and can entrust Ming Pao to him." If it weren't for my luck, I wouldn't have met a talent like Mr. Lin Youlun who seems to be tailor-made and more jīng lottery than I imagined and requested! ”

As soon as Jin Yong's speech was published, the dust finally settled on the battle for the successor of "Ming Pao"!
