As the sole shareholder of Ming Pao other than Jin Yong, Shen Xinbao has always had a penchant for collecting, and there are many valuable oil paintings and watercolors hanging on the walls of his home, and on the furniture, shelves, and in the jīng glass cabinets, there are thousands of antiques, including materials, statues, porcelain statues of saxophones, Chinese porcelain, ancient ivory objects, and Venetian glassware, all of which fill the large living room.

Recently, the collection in Shen Xinbao's house has been much richer, and a large part of them are from the hands of the young man sitting in the living room at the moment, of course, including the blue and white porcelain vase that Shen Xinbao is holding in his hand at this moment, which is said to be produced in the official kiln of the Qing Dynasty.

Shen Xinbao took a magnifying glass and carefully studied the glaze, decoration and style on the surface of the porcelain, and combined with the shape of the whole porcelain, he determined that this blue and white porcelain vase was produced in the Qianlong period.

At that time, the porcelain that came out of the official kiln was only circulated in the imperial family, and the quantity that flowed out was not much, and the price was very expensive as long as it was genuine.

Shen Xinbao carefully put the blue and white porcelain vase back into the brocade box, took off his gloves and followed Yu Pinghai and said: "The entire Qing Dynasty official kiln porcelain, the first to recommend Kangxi, Kang, Yong, and Qian, the three generations are better, Mr. Yu's vase should be produced during the Qianlong period, and it is undoubtedly genuine." ”

"After Shen Lao's eyes, then you must not be wrong." Yu Pinghai pushed the brocade box containing the blue and white porcelain vase in front of Shen Xinbao, "It's just a small courtesy, and I hope that Shen Lao will not refuse." ”

Shen Xinbao pretended to be surprised and glanced at Yu Pinghai, "What does Mr. Yu mean by this?" I'm just helping to verify the authenticity, but I don't mean to win people's love. ”

Yu Pinghai said: "This thing is just an ornament in my place, and it can only show its value in the hands of an expert like Shen Laoshou." ”

In order to get on the line with Shen Xinbao, Yu Pinghai sent a lot of antiques, calligraphy and paintings to Shen Xinbao's house, and those objects in the past, the maximum value of a single piece was not more than 20,000, and this time it was a Qing Dynasty official kiln porcelain worth hundreds of thousands, which made Shen Xinbao a little embarrassed.

In the past, the gift given by Yu Pinghai was not of high value, and he just asked Shen Xinbao to help build a bridge in front of Jin Yong, and gave such a heavy gift at this time. The picture is not small.

Regarding the successor of "Ming Pao", although the outside world is in a uproar, Shen Xinbao, who really understands Jin Yong, knows that Jin Yong's mind has never changed. Even Yu Pinghai has spent a lot of time watching dramas with Jin Yong, eating hairy crabs, and talking about the ideal of running a newspaper from time to time. Jin Yong was very happy. But compared with Lin Youlun, Yu Pinghai still doesn't have much chance of winning.

After Jin Yong made it clear that after his retirement, many institutions such as Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao Group and Oriental Rì Daily expressed their desire to acquire Ming Pao, but Jin Yong rejected them one by one.

Kim Yong's idea was simple: first, he didn't want to sell Ming Pao to a foreign company, and second, he didn't want the agency to buy Ming Pao purely out of business, rather than a love and responsibility for journalism, and as for the probes he suspected of having political agendas, he had no interest in meeting them at all.

As a successor who has been chosen long ago. Lin Youlun meets Jin Yong's requirements in all aspects, as long as Lin Youlun does not have any problems himself, taking over "Ming Pao" is almost a sure thing.

"Please also ask Shen Lao to help me plan, and there will be a heavy reward afterwards!" Yu Pinghai tried to curry favor with Jin Yong to no avail, so he thought of taking Shen Xinbao's route again.

Shen Xinbao and Lin Youlun have an average relationship, when Jin Yong chose Lin Youlun as his successor. Shen Xinbao raised objections, but his stake in Ming Pao was only 10%, and he could not influence Jin Yong's decision on this matter.

Shen Xinbao closed his eyes and thought for a while, and after opening his eyes, he stared at Yu Pinghai carefully for a while, and suddenly thought of an idea in his heart.

"I remember that Mr. Yu seems to have said that you are a monkey, right?"

Yu Pinghai didn't know what to do, "Shen Lao asked what is this for?" ”

Shen Xinbao suddenly said: "Mr. Yu, do you know the reason why my old classmate is not ready to sell "Ming Pao" to you, but he is still willing to go out with you to listen to dramas and eat?" ”

Yu Pinghai shook his head.

"Because you look like a man!" Shen Xinbao said word by word.

"Who?"

"His dead eldest son, Chuanxia." Shen Xinbao paused. Then he added: "Chuanxia is also a monkey. ”

After Shen Xinbao's reminder, Yu Pinghai suddenly understood, no wonder every time he met Jin Yong, he looked at himself with a faint concern. It turned out to be this reason.

"What does Elder Shen mean, can I start from this aspect?"

"I can try to get Liangyong to accept you as a righteous son."

Yu Pinghai's eyes lit up, "Please also ask Shen Lao to help me!" ”

"Mr. Yu wants to achieve his goal, but this is far from enough." Shen Xinbao shook his head, just playing the "family card" is not enough to affect Jin Yong's decision, the best way is to try to change Lin Youlun's impression in Jin Yong's mind, only if Jin Yong is disappointed in Lin Youlun, Yu Pinghai may have a chance.

"Liang Yong attaches great importance to the character and reputation of his successor, and although Lin Youlun is very famous in Hong Kong, the reputation about his private life is not good, which is his only flaw."

Shen Xinbao felt that it was enough to talk to this extent, and Yu Pinghai should know how to do it.

Of course, it is one thing to know Lin Youlun's shortcomings, but it is another thing to be able to catch Lin Youlun's sore spots.

The Hong Kong media has tracked Lin Youlun for so many years, and the scandal about him will basically appear in the newspaper once every three days, although the Hong Kong media is very sure that he has maintained an intimate relationship with at least several actresses, but he has been suffering from no conclusive evidence, and wants to make Lin Youlun fall into passivity through the scandal, which has not been done by the Hong Kong media, and Yu Pinghai is really not sure.

However, this is the only way at present, and Yu Pinghai can only use dead horses as live horse doctors.

——

After this period of fundraising, Lin Youlun has almost withdrawn 800 million Hong Kong dollars in his hands, and Jin Yong will definitely not transfer all the shares of "Ming Pao" to him at one time, so this fund should be more than enough to complete the first step of the acquisition.

During this period, Lin Youlun held a board meeting in Jiayi and expanded the board seat by 11 seats, and among the newly appointed directors, the first Miss Asia champion, Li Zhi, who announced her retirement after starring in a movie, attracted the most media attention. Lizhi's "comeback" with such a posture is even more sensational than Lixin Group replacing Princess Jin as one of the shareholders of Jiayi Cinema Line.

The scandal that became known all over the city during the filming of "Lin Sheng and Mrs. Lin" was once again turned out by the media, and the relationship between the two once again became the focus of heated discussions in the media.

Originally, Lin Youlun had long been accustomed to such scandals, but this time the storm of public opinion was surprisingly fierce, and Lin Youlun, who has always had a "dull" sense of smell for entertainment news, also smelled an unusual smell from it.

In the past, when the media reported these scandals, they generally only targeted Lin Youlun, and all the firepower was focused on him alone, and the actress who passed the scandal with him would not only be fine, but would be hyped by the media and become famous. But this time the situation has changed, Zhong Chuhong, Zhou Comin, Wang Guxian and others related to Lin Youlun have been implicated to a certain extent, and some media even said some ugly things, which have a great tendency to force these female stars to stand up and explain clearly to the public.

"No, I'd better resign from my position as a director of Jiayi Company." Lizhi was physically and mentally exhausted by media and public opinion during this time, and even had the idea of retreating.

"It's none of your business, someone is deliberately trying to go against me." Lin Youlun put down a newspaper in his hand and said with a frown.

Is it Lin Jianyue? Lin Youlun immediately denied this idea in his heart, Lai Sun Group has just entered the film industry, and its foothold is not stable, and tearing up their faces at this time will not do them any good at all.

In addition to a little friction with Lai Sun Group in Jiayi's equity competition recently, Lin Youlun has not had any conflicts with other people at all, who would Lin Jianyue be?

"These people are so hateful!" After reading the newspaper handed by Lin Youlun, Li Zhi said angrily: "What good can it do them to make it rain like this?" ”

Lizhi's words reminded Lin Youlun that because he had an agreement with Jin Yong earlier, Lin Youlun always thought that the acquisition of "Ming Pao" would go smoothly, but now it seems that he seems to have thought about the problem too simply.

Lin Youlun put the scope of his suspicion on the competitors competing for the equity of "Ming Pao", and Li Zhi immediately thought of someone.

"Some time ago, the media often mentioned a businessman named Yu Pinghai, it is said that in the recent period, he and Mr. Jin have been very close, and they are often photographed by the media eating together or listening to dramas, and many people say that he is the most likely person to take over the "Ming Pao" in addition to you, do you think this person is making trouble behind his back?"

At first glance, when he heard the name "Yu Pinghai", Lin Youlun only felt very familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he found that this Yu Pinghai was the businessman who bought the equity of "Ming Pao" from Jin Yong in later generations, Jin Yong had high hopes for this person at the beginning, but Yu Pinghai took a bank loan to invest in other businesses during the operation of "Ming Pao", and one of the funds was later disclosed to be used to start a gambling business in Canada, which not only concealed shareholders, but also violated the loan agreement with the bank, resulting in the suspension of "Ming Pao" by the Hong Kong Securities and Exchange and the Stock Exchange. Yu Pinghai had to sell his stake in Ming Pao and faded out of the newspaper business.

"No matter who it is, as long as I find out the evidence that he is making trouble, I will definitely make him regret it!" Lin Youlun's eyes flashed with a knife-like cold light, it didn't matter if the other party targeted him, but he also implicated the woman next to him, which had already touched his reverse scales!
