The day after returning home, Yan Qingyu went to the Ming Pao building and met with Shen Xinbao, the second largest shareholder of Ming Pao and also in charge of business affairs.

"Uncle Shen, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are getting more and more energetic."

Yan Qingyu said to Shen Xinbao with a smile.

Shen Xinbao also said happily: "Xiao Yu, your career is getting bigger and bigger, and your film career has entered the old American camp." How's that, when will Ming Pao be opened too? ”

Yan Qingyu said: "This time I came to talk about this matter. ”

Shen Xinbao's old eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he said excitedly: "Ming Pao is also going to the United States?" ”

Yan Qingyu said: "Not only that, but also Canada, Malaysia and Singapore, Indonesia can also consider carrying out the past, after all, there are nearly 10 million Chinese there." My money in the Japanese stock market has started to be withdrawn, and we have a lot of money, so we can consider expanding the market. I will raise the funds, and in terms of specific operations, I will have to work hard for Uncle Shen. ”

Shen Xinbao's excited lips trembled, and he shook his head and said, "Where to bother, where to bother!" Having been in the newspaper industry all my life, my greatest wish is to make Ming Pao bigger and stronger, and to become the No. 1 newspaper in the Chinese world. Now that I have this opportunity, where will I be tired! ”

Yan Qingyu said: "The talent reserve is still sufficient, right?" Whether it is governing the country or the enterprise, in the final analysis, it is all about governing talents. ”

Shen Xinbao said in a deep voice: "There is absolutely no problem, since you took over Mingbao, we have recruited all kinds of elite talents very systematically every year. Over the years, they have grown. We've been preparing for this day for a long time, and there's never going to be a talent gap. ”

Yan Qingyu said: "That's good, I won't interfere in specific matters." Professional things are left to your professional people to do, and the legal department and finance department of the group will provide you with enough manpower, rest assured, not supervision and constraints, they are completely obedient to you. In the West. You can't do anything without these two types of people. ”

Shen Xinbao naturally didn't take it seriously, but he didn't think about making trouble in the enterprise, friendship is friendship, business is business, he can still distinguish this, he thought about it, and said: "How much money can the group's finance provide us?" ”

Yan Qingyu said: "The initial capital is three to five hundred million, US dollars. Try to spread the newsstand to every large Chinese community, and every day you can fax the Ming Pao here, print it there and sell it. Equally. Fax the news collected by the reporters over there to this side as well. This is not a simple job, it will be very complicated and very hard, Uncle Shen, you have to know in your heart. ”

Shen Xinbao snorted and said, "It's hard and complicated, there are things in this world that can be achieved simply by succeeding?" If you want to do great things, you can't be afraid of hardship and tiredness. We pay them so much, do we just support them for nothing? We are not philanthropists. Xiao Yu. You're thinking very right. The Chinese people in the world are of the same origin and species, and they are all one family. We should communicate with each other so that everyone knows what each other's lives are like. If this is done, we will be of great service to the nation. ”

Yan Qingyu laughed and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Shen." By the day it is done, you and your stepfather will go down in history. ”

Shen Xinbao waved his hand and smiled: "It's also your father and son's business to leave a name, and your father-in-law doesn't say anything else, just rely on his dozen books." It is also enough for him to leave the name of a master in history. You're not bad, and the events you do can be called legendary. Last month, the editor of Ming Pao's novel edition also received a submission of a novel, and I think the protagonist in it is basically based on you. ”

Yan Qingyu frowned slightly when she heard this. "This kind of thing is the most annoying, there are too many speculative elements, and it is easy to mislead others. Uncle Shen, you won't publish it, will you? ”

Shen Xinbao said with a smile: "Your Uncle Shen is not old and foolish, dare to do nonsense in this kind of thing." I didn't make a move, Dong Qianli directly sent a lawyer's letter to the person, warning the person. That man is just a poor haha, where is the money to fight a lawsuit, hand over the manuscript to us together, beg for forgiveness, we accepted the manuscript, and did not embarrass him. I'll give you the manuscript later, and you can take it back and read it for yourself. ”

How could Yan Qingyu have the kung fu to pay attention to this kind of thing, thinking with his knees that the bastard must have written the story very legendary and very fragrant......

Yan Qingyu said: "I still don't read it, just burn the manuscript all the time." I came here today to inform you, so that you can be mentally prepared, once the funds are in place, the projects will start immediately. In fact, you can arrange for people to go to various places to inspect now, the United States is relatively simple, I have asked Sister Nan Sheng to buy a local Chinese newspaper in Chinatown, you can arrange for someone to go over and receive it.

Canada's system is similar to that of the United States, and you can decide whether to buy or build a new one. There is just one place to note, and that is Indonesia. The situation in this country is somewhat complicated, you have to be careful. Remember, sometimes it's acceptable to be wronged in order to be able to do something. It's not a big deal to give up some money, just feed the dogs. ”

Hearing Yan Qingyu's words, Shen Xinbao's white eyebrows wrinkled, and said, "I really don't have a good impression of this place in Indonesia, it's just that there are so many Chinese compatriots there, and it's not good for Ming Pao not to open it in the past." Xiao Yu, don't worry. We are not pure literati who don't know how to be flexible, business, sometimes it's nothing to pay a little tribute. ”

Yan Qingyu laughed when he heard this: "Uncle Shen, it's good that you have this mental preparation. The World Cinema Line has laid a full 200 theaters in Indonesia, but 49% of the shares of these 200 theaters have been donated by Jiang Zhiqiang to the children of Indonesian high-ranking officials. In fact, the profit is as high as 60 percent. The remaining forty percent of the profit is just to maintain the normal operation of the theater chain. ”

Shen Xinbao's face couldn't help but change when he heard this, and said, "Then didn't we do it for nothing?" ”

Yan Qingyu shook his head and said: "We are definitely not working in vain, in fact, it is this forty percent profit that is becoming more and more." Because we are cultivating more and more audiences. In addition to Indonesian Chinese, more and more Indonesians are also choosing to watch Hong Kong movies in theaters. Uncle Shen, do you know what this means? ”

Shen Xinbao has been a cultural media all his life, how can he not understand the meaning of this matter, he blurted out: "This is a cultural invasion? ”

Yan Qingyu laughed and said, "That's right, this is a real cultural invasion. We would rather lose money, but also use the cultural spirit of Hong Kong movies to influence the Indonesian people, especially the younger generation of Indonesian teenagers. Cultivate their yearning for Chinese culture and reverence for Chinese civilization. Hong Kong movies are only one aspect, and if you add the novels in Ming Pao, I think the influence in this aspect is even greater. ”

Speaking of this, Yan Qingyu's face became a little stern, and he said, "Uncle Shen, this is a real war. Don't care about the gains and losses of the baht. If we can win this culture war and let hundreds of millions of Indonesians know and be familiar with China's history and civilization, then our future films will gain countless Indonesian audiences, and the benefits will be terrifying.

In addition, there are Singaporean Chinese, Malaysian Chinese, Canadian Chinese and North American Chinese, and if we can reduce some banana people through our efforts, then we can also be considered to be of great merit. ”

Shen Xinbao's hands trembled a little, he took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose and wiped them, and then put them back on, and said with a very solemn face: "Yan Sheng, don't worry, we will report it and promise to die that we will fight this cultural battle well." Even if you don't make money, even if you lose money, you must do a good job of doing it. ”

"Hehe, Uncle Shen, don't get excited. Just know what to expect, it's going to be a long process. Let's not be in a hurry, and don't act explicitly. Externally, we are still just a businessman, and everything is reflected by the standard of a businessman. No government is indifferent to foreign cultural invasions. ”

Yan Qingyu reminded with a smile.

Shen Xinbao's mind cleared up when he heard this, nodded slowly, and said, "Xiao Yu, don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”

Yan Qingyu didn't say much about this, and said, "There is another point, which is about politics." I would like to stress once again that Ming Pao should never make a judgment on any political incident. We just need to do our best to be objective, and we are not judged by God's eyes because of our limited position and height. ”

Shen Xinbao was silent when he heard this, and said, "Xiao Yu, you mean the ...... in the north?"

Yan Qingyu waved his hand and said, "Whether it's north or south, it's more complicated than we imagined. We are just a media platform, we are just media people, just do a good job of writing. ”

Shen Xinbao smiled bitterly: "The column of Beiwang Shenzhou has always been a sharp weapon for our Ming Pao. It's just now...... There is a person named Cen Jianxun, who has been dancing very actively recently. He started a column in the Oriental Daily News about the north. The rhetoric is sharp and the point of view is fascinating. It's mainly based on smearing and cracking, but the selling point is really good. The Oriental Daily has been selling very well lately, and there has been a strong reaction among the citizens. ”

Yan Qingyu snorted coldly and said, "This thing that doesn't know how to live or die is dead, you don't care about them." This kind of clown can't jump around for long, although we will expose some bad things, but our starting point is different from theirs, and we will not criticize and ridicule in the newspapers. The son is not ugly to the mother, and the dog is not poor at home. If he can really put forward some constructive suggestions, how can such a person do it for a long time if he blindly bites and pulls like a mad dog? ”

Shen Xinbao agreed: "Yes, in fact, everyone knows that he wrote like this to attract attention. He wrote that the people of the mainland were living in poverty, and they were all like imprisoned lambs. After last year's stock market crash, Hong Kong citizens were already in great pain, but now they still have a sense of superiority in their hearts when they see their compatriots even more miserable, and it seems that the pain is not so strong. So, also willing to read things from the Oriental Daily. The right to be a spiritual comfort......" (to be continued......)
