Chapter 15: Television

Shen impulsively drove out of the parking lot, then glanced at Qiu Siyu, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, with an expression of wanting to speak and stopping, and said, "What do you want to ask?" ”

"Mr. Shen, the magazine was taken back and destroyed, and the newspaper apologized, and the loss was very great." Qiu Siyu made Shen Chong a secretary before he became famous, and naturally stood on his side, she said angrily: "Why don't you fire that George, he is the editor-in-chief, without his consent, how can the article be tabled, he is the mastermind." ”

"What's the use of firing him?" After Shen Chong vented in the conference room, he had already regained his former calm state of mind, he sighed, and said: "The magazine has just been bought, and people's hearts are unstable, if George is fired, he takes away the effective editors and reporters, and my investment will not be a bamboo basket for nothing?" Besides, if you really talk about it, he is actually implicated by me. ”

"Huh? What does it have to do with Mr. Shen? Qiu Siyu was puzzled and said: "It's obviously those articles that he is in charge of." ”

"You, you, you're too simple." Shen Chong shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "You think, "Asian Weekly" was founded by George and O'Neill, when I bought it, O'Neill took the money and ran back to Australia to spend all his time, but George was reluctant to leave, and continued to stay in the magazine as the editor-in-chief, which shows that he loves this magazine very much, and the tiger poison does not eat children, you say, is he willing to ruin his magazine's reputation?" ”

When Qiu Siyu heard this, she thought for a while, and then asked, "Could it be that the main writer did it secretly?" George was also kept in the dark? ”

"It's impossible, the matter of the magazine can be hidden from me, the new boss, but it can't be hidden from George, the old boss, he must have known in advance." Shen Chong turned the steering wheel and said: "Behind this incident, there is a good chance that the Hong Kong government is playing ghosts, the editors of "Asia Weekly" are seventy percent British, and George is also an Indian British, and the Hong Kong government wants to play ghosts, and they will definitely cooperate." ”

"The Hong Kong government?" Qiu Siyu was even more surprised and asked, "Why does the Hong Kong government do such a thing?" ”

"Warn me." Shen Chong sneered and said: "Because I have been too close to the mainland recently, it is now a cold war, Hong Kong is capitalism, the mainland is socialist, everyone is separated by an iron curtain, and they are incompatible." ”

"Mr. Shen, I think you're thinking too much." Qiu Siyu didn't believe it and said: "Now many Hong Kong people go back to Guangdong to visit relatives, and the government doesn't care much. ”

"So you're too simple, they're going to the countryside to visit relatives, and I'm going to Beijing to visit relatives, can it be the same?" Shen Chong smiled and asked, "My business is basically in the United States, and there are no business competitors in Hong Kong, who would deliberately come to harm me?" Moreover, the article with such an obvious purpose of engaging in politics came out to frame it. ”

"The Taiwan government may not be able to say that there are many spies in Hong Kong from Taiwan, and they may want to defend the government."

"Asia Weekly is an English-language magazine." Shen Chong explained: "English magazines in Taiwan, there is no social influence, the Kuomintang is now anxious, how can I have the leisure to come to Hong Kong to toss, besides, I just fed them 1ouu million, even if you want to hack me, it will not be so urgent, I also know a lot of people in Taiwan, no one has reported to me, it will not be they who do it." ”

"But why would the Hong Kong government do such a thing?" Qiu Siyu still didn't believe it, and said: "Hong Kong is a place where freedom of speech is spoken, how can the government interfere in the media, if we make trouble, they will be very troublesome." ”

Shen Chong laughed and said: "In this matter, the government needs to come forward, just find an agent to operate it, anyway, the article is very subjective, even if it is caught, as long as it is the editor's personal opinion, no one can do anything." ”

After Shen Chong finished speaking, he parked the car in front of a convenience store and ordered: "Xiaoyu, you go buy me a bottle of Coke, and after yelling for a long time, your throat is smoking." What you want to drink, buy it yourself. ”

After a while, Qiu Siyu came back with two bottles of Coke, handed one to him, and asked: "Mr. Shen, I still don't believe it, if the Hong Kong government has an opinion on you, wouldn't it be easier to ask you to go to tea directly?" With Mr. Shen's current fame and assets, the Hong Kong Governor can see it. ”

"Do you think I haven't drunk it?" Shen Chong opened the jar and said, "It's only been more than ten days since I came back from Beijing, and I've already gone to the government building to drink coffee three or four times. ”

Qiu Siyu held the coke jar in both hands and asked in a low voice, "So, the coffee is unpleasant?" ”

Qiu Siyu was thin and small, wearing a thick black-framed glasses, her expression and movements at this time were like a frightened little rabbit, extremely cute, Shen Chong couldn't help but want to laugh, and almost squirted out the Coke in his mouth.

Forced to swallow Coke, resulting in a violent cough.

"Mr. Shen, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Shen Chong stroked his chest, put the can on the storage compartment, and after a while, when the cough subsided, he said, "I will never drink Coke again." ”

"Mr. Shen, it's not right to give up food because of choking."

Shen Chong didn't rush to drive, he held his head in both hands, leaned on the back of the chair, looked at Qiu Siyu's smiling face, she was rare to be so lively, and asked, "Xiaoyu, you have been a secretary for half a year, right?" ”

"I went to work on April 15th, and to today, it's exactly 8 months."

"So coincidentally?" Shen Chong smiled and said: "You are also the elder of the company, in ancient times, you were a dragon hero, and you will be rich and noble in the future." ”

Qiu Siyu pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Thank you Mr. Shen for your words." ”

"When you have the money, what are you going to do?"

"I don't have any ideals." Qiu Siyu took a sip of Coke and said, "Life is pretty good now." ”

"How's it good?" Shen Chong laughed a few times and said, "You have at least an hour at work every day, there are countless boring things to remember and be busy, there are basically no weekends and holidays, and there is no personal living space, do you think it's good?" ”

"It's a little busy, but it's very fulfilling." Qiu Siyu didn't care, and said: "And I am not doing these things alone, there are still people in the secretariat to help." ”

"You're not in a relationship, you're not looking for a boyfriend?"

"It's boring to be in love." Qiu Siyu stiffened her face and said: "I will never find a boyfriend in my life, why do people have to get married, if you are too good alone, you can do whatever you want." ”

Shen Chong was surprised, looked at her expression, and felt that there might be some knots or unspeakable secrets, but he had always disliked interfering in other people's emotional affairs, so he didn't ask any more, coughed lightly, and then said: "Xiaoyu, I will be very busy around Christmas, from next Monday, you go to work at "Asia Weekly", help me keep an eye on them, don't do anything about it." ”

"Where to work?" Qiu Siyu was surprised, she put down the coke and said, "I don't know how to make magazines, what to do?" Mr. Shen, let's go to another person, I will only be a secretary. ”

"You have been with me for so long, you know my bottom line and thoughts, and no one else has your keen sense of political and smell." Shen Chong lit the fire, moved the car, and said: "If you hadn't shown the question of "Asia Weekly" first, and waited for others to come to the door to question, and actively became passive, my loss would have been great." ”

"The chief writer of "Asia Weekly" was fired, and the new one doesn't know if it's reliable, after you go to the magazine, you don't have to worry about the daily operation and interview editors, as long as you make sure that there are no problems with the political angle of the final manuscript, and the rest of the time, you can do whatever you want, just take a holiday, rest and rest." While driving, Shen Chong instructed: "I'll ask Fei Xiaodie to send a few more people to sort out and record the reader's subscription and feedback information of the magazine over the years, and grasp the business channels. ”

"Who will be the secretary during this time?"

"You can choose one from the secretariat or the reception room."

"Then let Gu Weili do it, she has been working in the secretariat for more than three months, she is familiar with the basic things, and there will be no chaos when she takes over."

"Whatever." Shen Chong turned a corner and said, "I'll go to the United States in two days, as long as I pass the English test." ”

"Then she's going to be her, she's coming back from studying in the United States."

Shen Chong nodded, stopped talking, and concentrated on driving.

After a while, Qiu Siyu asked again: "Mr. Shen, I still haven't figured it out, why are you sure that the Hong Kong government is making trouble this time?" ”

"I thought you wouldn't ask." Shen Chong smiled and said: "You're right, I drink government coffee, and I don't drink it very happily, and I'm planning to buy a TV station, the government is warning me that it's okay to be a media in Hong Kong, but I have to be obedient and can't cross the line, otherwise, they can empty me at any time."

"TV station?" When Qiu Siyu heard this, she asked in surprise: "Mr. Shen is going to buy Li's TV?" ”

"No, the British capital behind Leigh's TV is rich and wealthy, and it is not ready to sell it for the time being."

"So, Mr. Shen, you want to acquire" Qiu Siyu has been Shen Chong's secretary for so long, so she is naturally very aware of the current situation of Hong Kong's TV station, she was even more surprised, and said: "H is very profitable, HSBC, Lijia, Shaw Brothers, these major shareholders, will not be sold, right?" ”

"Of course they don't sell." Shen Chong drove the car, drove into the undersea tunnel, and said, "So I'm going to buy Jiayi TV." ”

"Mr. Shen." Qiu Siyu looked at his side face and reminded: "Jiayi TV went out of business last year"

"Collapse is bankruptcy, but Hong Kong Commercial Radio retains its television license." Shen Chong said: "As long as there are money and people, they will be able to reopen soon, but there are too many restrictions on this license, so I organized a group of people who are interested in TV to negotiate with the government and prepare to revise the restrictions of the license." ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, otherwise why do you think I've been playing golf a lot lately?" Shen Chong held the steering wheel with one hand, scratched his head with the other, and said: "Hong Kong Commercial Radio was deceived by people in order to get this TV license, and took the initiative to put forward a lot of restrictions, such as what only shows Chinese programs, educational programs must be played from 9:30 to 11:30 in the evening, and advertisements cannot be inserted in the middle, and the equity of all shareholders cannot exceed 15%, etc., it is simply self-defeating, so Jiayi TV has been doing it for 3 years and then collapsed." ”

"Since you will definitely lose, Mr. Shen, why are you still going to reopen Jiayi TV?"

"I am the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, others lose money, if I do it, I may not lose money." Shen Chong laughed, and then said: "TV station is the most important media tool in modern society, I am a native of Hong Kong, and the government has no excuse to restrict me from operating a TV station, so I made this magazine incident, and what I did so obviously was to warn me not to favor the mainland, otherwise there would be no good results, so I said that George was implicated by me." ”
