Chapter Ninety-Six: Reflection

Stimulated by the blockbuster scoop news, although the "Hong Kong Economic Journal" was released more than an hour late, the popularity was far greater than before, and at noon, it was reprinted again, seeing that it went straight to the sales record of 100,000, which made Lin Xingzhi have mixed feelings in his heart, with pride and relief, but also sadness and panic. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When Shen Chong contacted him through HSBC and planned to buy Hong Kong Economic Journal, Lin Xingzhi was actually very reluctant, on the one hand, Shen Chong had just risen at that time, and everyone regarded him as a lucky nouveau riche, and literati had three arrogant bones, so he naturally did not look down, on the other hand, he did not want to be controlled by others and wanted to maintain his status as an independent and free journalist.

After several refusals, Shen Chong came directly to the door and said something to him, which he still remembers.

"Editor-in-chief Lin, doing news is nothing more than chasing fame and profit, you are doing financial news, you must also know that the essence of financial news is to pursue profit, where is the profit? Profit is in the pocket of the rich, I am famous and rich, as long as you follow me, you can grab any kind of blockbuster news, I do things, you report, readers watch the excitement, everyone wins. ”

"The content of the Hong Kong Economic Journal is professional, the readership is limited, the sales volume is only twenty or thirty thousand copies, the profitability is limited, and the ability to resist risks is also poor, you look around, Ming Pao has daily newspapers, evening newspapers, weekly magazines, monthly magazines, Sing Tao has daily newspapers, morning newspapers, and English newspapers, and the same is true for the Oriental newspaper industry, everyone is in the group, small and specialized has no future, Hong Kong often blows typhoons, a gust of typhoon blows, the big trees are good, and the small trees are dead."

"I like data very much, because data doesn't lie, at the beginning of this year, there were a total of six film magazines in Hong Kong, and then I went to do "Film Times", and half a year later, except for Shaw Brothers' "Southland Film", the other five magazines all closed, why? Because the price is more expensive than "Film Times", they can't be sold, and the prices are cheaper than "Film Times", and they can't afford to support their editors and reporters, so they have to close their doors, "Southern Movies" used to sell more than 100,000 per issue, but now, no more than 20,000, I heard that Shaw Brothers plans to shut it down next year, so I won't do it. Editor-in-chief Lin, you have to think clearly about where to go. ”

For this reason, he specially went to visit the Hong Kong property market and stock market tycoon Xiang Zhiqiu, who had given him great help at the beginning of the establishment of the Hong Kong Economic Journal

Lin Xingzhi has been doing financial news for more than 10 years, and he immediately understood it, and when he came back, he signed to sell the newspaper -- Shen Chong's close friendship with HSBC Taipan shows that he is definitely not a simple nouveau riche, and the financial resources of those who can play with HSBC Taipan are definitely not something that "Hong Kong Economic Journal" can compete with.

And this decision, now it seems, is extremely correct, if it is not sold, "Hong Kong Economic Journal" may be the same as the dismembered "Asian Weekly", vanished, not to mention anything else, just by virtue of Shen Chong's generous reputation and the legend of turning people into gold, there are few workers in Hong Kong who can resist the temptation of poaching the charm of the East, without editors and reporters, "Hong Kong Economic Journal" is left with only Lin Xingzhi alone, and what to do

Sitting in the spacious, comfortable and personalized office, Lin Xingzhi stared at the newspaper sales data for a while, then stood up and prepared to go to the lounge on the seventh floor to play a few games of billiards to relieve his tired body from working overtime all night last night.

Not to mention the high salary, this office environment is much better than the previous "Hong Kong Economic Journal......

It is good to enjoy the shade with your back against the big tree, and it seems that you will have to be closer to the boss in the future......

Lin Xingzhi sighed while waiting for the elevator, the oriental charm has a total of seven floors, and the first and second floors are the training base for students, and there is no special access control card that can't be up, so it didn't take long for the elevator to arrive, and after opening the door, he saw that Luo Weiming, the editor-in-chief of "Film Times", was also inside.

"Editor-in-chief Lin, congratulations, I grabbed the exclusive blockbuster news, and the Hong Kong Economic Journal is selling crazy today."

"Editor-in-chief Luo has an exclusive interview with the crew of "Die Hard", and the latest issue of the magazine is also a big sale, and everyone is happy." Lin Xingzhi greeted him with a smile, then looked at him and asked, "Editor-in-Chief Luo, why do you have a sad face?" ””

"Can you not worry? I'm the one who never leaves the cigarette. Luo Weiming raised his finger and said with a wry smile: "I don't know what the boss was stimulated by some time ago, now the seventh floor is completely non-smoking, and every time I go up now, I feel uncomfortable." ”

Lin Xingzhi also smoked, but it was not a big addiction, so he suggested: "It's better for you to smoke two cigarettes in the smoking room on the sixth floor, and then go up after you have enough addiction." ”

"That's useless." Luo Weiming shook his head and said: "Actually, I can't smoke for an hour or two, I can bear it, smoking is mainly to relieve pressure, you know, the boss is becoming more and more magical now, magical like a fairy, we only have to look up, smoking will make people feel comfortable, just like going to Wong Tai Sin Temple, if you don't hold a few sticks of incense in your hand, you will be weak and short of breath." ”

"It's said that Editor-in-Chief Luo is funny, and you are really funny."

"What's funny, it's just about masturbation." Luo Weiming sighed and said; "Editor-in-chief Lin, your "Hong Kong Economic Daily" makes a big news, which can affect the operation of hundreds of millions of funds, and Qiu's "Shengshi Oriental Weekly" makes a big news, and even the Hong Kong governor is shocked by it.

"Editor-in-Chief Luo, you are too humble, "Hong Kong Economic Daily" and "Shengshi Oriental Weekly" combined, the sales volume is not as large as your magazine."

"It's useless to have high sales, the magazine's profit in a year is not as much as the boss earning in an hour in the stock market, alas, if you want to influence it, you don't have money, if you want it, how can you mix it up."

Lin Xingzhi and Luo Weiming were not very familiar with each other, and they didn't know how to comfort them, so they could only be silent, but fortunately, the elevator arrived soon, and after the two came out, they parted ways.

Luo Weiming is the oldest of all the editors-in-chief of Oriental Charm, and he has a very good relationship with Shen Chong, so he usually doesn't need to be reported by the secretary, and he can go directly into the office, but this time, before he entered, he pointed to the hidden door and asked Qiu Siyu: "Xiaoyu, is it convenient for the boss now?" ”

"It's inconvenient." Luo Weiming is humorous and has a high affinity, Qiu Siyu is familiar with him, she raised her right hand, blocked her mouth, whispered, and said softly with a smile: "Sister Zhang is inside." ”

"Oh?" Luo Weiming showed an ambiguous smile, then let out a sigh of relief and said, "Then I'll come back next time." ”

"Editor-in-Chief Luo." Qiu Siyu sat upright, restrained her smile, and said seriously: "Mr. Shen specially instructed just now, he has something to do with you, and after you come, go in directly." ”

Luo Weiming's face immediately became bitter.
