With a "snap", Shen Chong slammed the torn magazine in half on the conference table, and asked in a cold voice: "Who did this topic?" ”

A bald foreigner in his fifties and sixties ignored Shen Chong's anger, he smoked his pipe, raised his right index finger coolly, and then said in a arrogant tone peculiar to the British: "Mr. Shen, is there any problem?" ”

"Questions?" Shen Chong sneered, gritted his teeth and said, "You have been fired, get out now"

The man was stunned for a moment, he put down his pipe, and with obvious disdain, said, "Mr. Shen, do you know who I am?" ”

"I know you're a pig." Shen Chong scolded without grace, and then said to Qiu Siyu, who was sitting at the door to take minutes of the meeting: "Call the security guard to come over, within ten minutes, he won't leave, let the security guard drive him away with a stick." ”

"Mr. Shen, you can't fire him, he is the chief writer of our magazine." George George, the co-founder of Asia Weekly, who sat under Shen Chong, said: "If he is fired, the next issue of the magazine will not be published on time." ”

"The next issue? There is no next issue" Shen Chong pressed his hands on the table and said loudly: "From now on, "Asia Weekly" will be suspended

More than a dozen editors in the conference room looked at each other, and the arrogant old man also put down the pipe in his hand in amazement.

"Mr. Shen, you can't do this." George also stood up excitedly and shouted, "Why? ”

"Why? You tell me why? Shen Chong raised his head, looked at him with murderous eyes, and said: "Before the acquisition, it was clearly written on the agreement that any news content about Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland must be reviewed and signed by me before it can be done." ”

He grabbed a piece of magazine paper scattered on the table, shook it, and said in a louder voice: "These five shit-like articles, did you show them to me before you go?" Do you have? ”

"Mr. Shen, this is an accident." George's voice was half smaller, and he defended: "I couldn't find you at the time, and the magazine printing time was about to expire, so I made a decision on the fly. ”

"Really?" Shen Chong sneered and said, "Qiu Siyu, come here, read my schedule, and see what I am doing three days before the magazine." ”

Qiu Siyu immediately took two steps forward, took out a form from her briefcase, read it out according to the script, and then concluded: "On the 11th, the 13th, Mr. Shen went to work at 7 o'clock in the morning and got off work at 8 o'clock in the evening. ”

"Did anyone send the manuscript to the office in the afternoon?"

"Nope." Qiu Siyu put away the form, changed a notebook, and said: "In the afternoon, there were seven calls and two visitors, all of whom were registered. ”

"Mr. George." Shen Chong sneered unceremoniously: "Am I invisible? Or is it the blind man who sent the manuscript? ”

"This, maybe a work mistake, forgot to send the manuscript over." An Oriental editor approached George and said, "After all, the magazine has just been traded, and many procedures have not yet been handed over, so mistakes are inevitable." ”

"Mistakes? Shen Chong sat down, flicked the paper in his hand with his fingers, and said: "You know very well that this kind of shit article will definitely be cut by me if you send it over, so do it first and then play, and do it directly, right?" ”

"Mr. Shen, I don't think there is any quality problem with this topic." George sat down and said, "Please respect our work." ”

"Respect your work?" With a sarcastic smile, Shen Chong said, "Then who will respect my IQ?" Who will respect my money

He slammed the table, stood up again, and said, "Come, come, take out the original interview record, and sue me, Xu Xinliang, Shi Mingde, and Lu Xiulian, which of these people said that they were instructed by the mainland to deliberately riot?" Which one says they receive funding from the Mainland? The people involved throughout the story, anonymous people, well-informed people, fools? ”

"Asia Weekly is so famous, everyone here is known as the media elite, I think it's all wasted fame, how do you do the magazine? "Beautiful Island" has done such a big thing, or I went to participate in the Golden Horse Awards, I asked you to go to Taiwan in advance to do interviews, do special topics, and as a result, you did it back and forth, and you came up with such a bullshit thing, and you are embarrassed to tell me that you respect your work? ”

"And you, it's you, you main writer, why don't you leave?" The more Shen Chong spoke, the more angry he became, he pointed at the pipe man and shouted: "Engaging in this kind of unprofessional article is no different from injecting potassium cyanide into milk, this is deliberately engaging in commercial sabotage, you are not only fired, but also waiting for the summons of the court."

Shen Chong's stormy roar silenced the dozen or so editors in the office, and George, the founder and editor-in-chief, did not dare to speak anymore

After the pipe man wolf left in an unbearable way, Shen Chong sat down again, and his mood calmed down slightly.

On January 1o, 1979, Taiwan's "Beautiful Island" magazine organized a demonstration with non-party figures of the Kuomintang as the core, during which violent clashes broke out, and finally ended with the government sending military and police to comprehensively suppress it, which was the largest government-civilian conflict in Taiwan since the "228 Incident" in 1947, known as the "Beautiful Island Incident" in history.

The "Beautiful Island Incident" had a drastic impact on the political, social, and cultural aspects of society, and was a major historical event in Taiwan's transition from closure to openness, the beginning of the collapse of the Kuomintang's one-party monopoly in Taiwan, and the starting point for the collapse of the Chiang dynasty.

It is impossible for Shen Chong not to know about such a big event, and it is impossible not to pay attention to it, he hurriedly acquired "Asia Weekly", mainly to catch up with this matter, so when he went to attend the Golden Horse Awards ceremony, he deliberately inquired about the news of "Beautiful Island".

"Beautiful Island" is named after Yang Zu's song of the same name, which is the base camp of people outside the Kuomintang, which was first published in September, and by the time it was November, it had more than 80,000 copies, and its influence in Taiwan was very large.

On the 1o day of the month, International Human Rights Day, the magazine "Beautiful Island" planned to hold a rally, and at the end of November, in the name of "celebrating the 41st anniversary of World Human Rights Day", it submitted an application to the government in advance for the demonstration and speaking activities.

It's just that Shen Chong is crossing the party and knows that there is something important, so after the Golden Horse Awards ceremony is over, after returning to Hong Kong, he immediately arranged for a reporter from "Asia Weekly" to go to Taiwan for an interview, and made preparations in advance, intending to fish in troubled waters.

Many of the parties involved in the "Formosa Island Incident" have become big figures in Taiwan's political arena in the future, and Shen Chong has other ideas in mind in doing this in addition to making arrangements for the future -- some of these people are reunification factions, and some are independence factions, and while they are still unsuccessful, take advantage of the advantages of the traversers to support the unification faction and beat up the independence faction.

However, the ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, Shen Chong overestimated his control power, as Wang Yang said, he is too young and too young, and many people don't take him seriously.

In the first issue after the "Beautiful Island Incident," the "Asian Weekly" concocted a special feature under his pretenses, accusing the mainland of fanning the flames and turning the demonstrations into violent clashes, and on the other hand, it also reported that the people participating in the demonstrations were rioters......

I've seen a cheating father, but I've never seen such a cheating father, so Shen Chong was very angry.

Not only anger, but also a kind of anxious and annoying feeling.

For Shen Chong, this kind of special report that reverses right and wrong is not very lethal, and on the Taiwan side, the aftermath of the "Beautiful Island Incident" will continue for a long time, and there are opportunities to toss, while in the mainland, as long as he shows sincerity to explain, the problem will not be big.

The crux of the matter is that this is the first time since Shen Chong crossed over that he felt that the situation was not under his control, and the huge sense of loss and crisis made him restless.

Wealth accumulates too fast, social resources and network resources accumulate too slowly, like a huge kite, which seems to be beautiful, but has no foundation, a pair of scissors can make him fall very badly.

For example, this time, "Asia Weekly" is the top news magazine in Asia, even if Shen Chong does not buy it, it will be acquired by the "Time" group in a few years.

There must be someone behind it......

It's just that Shen Chong can't be investigated, and it is obvious that the instigator behind it is either the Taiwan government or the Hong Kong government.

The Taiwan government can say that Shen Chong can break with them without hesitation, the magazine branch and the film branch are not a big investment, and it is not a pity to lose it, Taiwan's film market is very important to others, for him, it is just a drizzle, as long as Taiwanese filmmakers can come to Hong Kong to film, he will sit back and relax.

If the Hong Kong government were to play tricks behind it, it would be a mess.

The more famous Shen Chong is and the more assets he has, the less the Hong Kong government wants him to be too deeply involved with the mainland, and it is not impossible for him to deliberately create a wedge between him and the "Asian Weekly" when he acquired the "Asia Weekly." Many people know that this magazine is his asset, and the articles attacking the mainland on the above list are the most suitable for divisiveness.

If this matter involves the Hong Kong government, it must be handled carefully; if it does not back down, it will certainly be constrained everywhere in the future, and if it retreats, first, its own national feelings will not be acceptable, and second, it will be difficult for the mainland to explain.

It's a big problem...... And Shen Chong can't find a solution for the time being, people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat, so it is not surprising that his feelings are out of control.

After Shen Chong's expression relaxed, George asked tentatively, "Mr. Shen, what should we do now?" ”

"What else can I do?" Shen Chong said angrily: "Recover all the magazines and destroy them, compensate readers twice for their losses, Xiaoyu, sue Zhu Jiading, buy me the front pages of several major newspapers in Hong Kong tomorrow, and I will publish advertisements to publicly apologize."

"Mr. Shen, by doing this, our magazine will lose a lot."

"It's good if you know" Shen Chong crossed his hands, stared at him and said: "Mr. George, you are the founder of the magazine, I will give you a face, this time, I will not pursue it, if there is such a thing next time, I will sue you for commercial fraud, and you will compensate for the loss." ”

"And you, all remember, I am not the government, I am your boss, I am your master, so remember it, don't take the uncrowned king's stand in front of me, and don't tell me anything about freedom of the press." Shen Chong stood up, looked around, and said: "When the salary is paid, you will check whether it is counterfeit banknotes, so after the manuscript is written, I will also check whether it is in line with my taste, and if you don't agree, leave as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, Shen Chong casually pointed to the oriental face who had relieved George just now, and said, "I now appoint you as the new chief writer, and the next issue of the magazine will be handled by you, can you do it?" ”

When pie fell from the sky, the man was surprised and delighted, immediately stood up, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, I will definitely do a good job." ”

"Mr. George, you are responsible for the destruction of the magazine and the aftermath." Shen Chong straightened his clothes and said, "As for the apology, I am personally responsible." Xiaoyu, let's go, let's go to Xinhua News Agency. ”
