"Walk slowly." Shen Chong stood at the door of the conference room, shook hands with seven or eight middle-aged people who were all wearing glasses, and then ordered, "Vivian, send you all the seniors for me." ”

After the others left, Qiu Siyu opened the window and dispersed the smell of cigarettes in the room, and asked, "Mr. Shen, do we want to run a newspaper?" ”

"No, at least not for the last 10 years."

"Why? We already have films, television stations and magazines, and now we have a publishing house in cooperation with the mainland, so we don't need newspapers. ”

Shen Chong was silent, and after a while, he said: "Because the newspaper is too troublesome." ”

He has always had the ambition of building an all-round media group, and when he went to Beijing this time, he suggested that Hong Kong be used as a base to form a joint venture to establish a large-scale publishing house linking domestic and foreign countries on the grounds of "bringing in advanced foreign knowledge and letting domestic excellent culture go out".

The mainland has been blockaded by the West for several decades, and is in dire need of all kinds of high-tech materials and economic management knowledge, so within a few days of the submission of the proposal, the decision was made to merge several Chinese-funded ******** in Hong Kong to set up "Joint Publishing House, Chung Hwa Book Company, and the Hong Kong General Administration Office of the Commercial Press." At the same time, the Hong Kong Commercial Press Printing Bureau, which was established in 1924, and the Kowloon Printing Branch of the Chung Hwa Book Company, which was established in 1933, were merged to form the Chung Hwa Commercial United Printing (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd.

The Hong Kong branch of the Commercial Press was established in 1914, the Hong Kong branch of Chung Hwa Book Company was established in 1927, and the Hong Kong Sanlian Bookstore was formed in 1948 by the merger of Life Bookstore, Reading Publishing House and Xinzhi Bookstore in Hong Kong, these three institutions are the golden signs of the Chinese publishing industry, have a very large reputation and a wide range of sales channels at home and abroad, and are things that Shen Chong values very much - the company is easy to stand, the brand is rare, especially the cultural brand, it is not an overnight achievement, if you don't want to swallow these three brands in the future, He didn't bother to engage in any joint ventures.

The merger between the Great Wall Film Company and the Phoenix Film Company took nearly a year to complete, but this merger has progressed extremely rapidly; first, the mainland really needs all kinds of information and knowledge, and cannot afford to delay, and second, it is also related to Shen Chong's extensive cultivation of good fruits in the mainland in the past two years; he thinks about what the mainland thinks, is anxious about what the mainland is anxious about, and has donated and invested, tossing hundreds of millions of dollars, and his status has risen from "Hong Kong young patriotic businessmen" a year ago to "Hong Kong patriotic businessman leader" now, and his reputation has also risen from "friendly united front object". The "intimate partners", merging so quickly, are obviously meant to show sincerity - they are billionaires, they are not short of money, and there is nothing to return except sincerity.

The identities are different, and the status and weight are naturally heavy, so the leaders of these ******** took the initiative to discuss the joint venture with Oriental Charm, and they went to talk about it one by one......

During the break in the meeting just now, someone took the initiative to propose that if Oriental Charm ran a newspaper, "Ta Kung Pao" and "Wen Wei Po" were willing to help, but Shen Chong perfunctory.

Newspapers, say it's good, it's really good, it has a large circulation, it has a wide influence, and it has the ability to influence public opinion, it's not good, it's really bad, it's not as good as a TV station, it's not as good as a profit, it's not as good as a movie, it's not as good as an authority, it's not as good as a magazine, it's not as good as a book......

After all, the boss is not the editor-in-chief, it is impossible to stare at the newspaper every day, and if you are not careful, you will be exploited, the dilemma of "Ming Pao" in 1989 is the best example, Jin Yong wants to deal with it in a low-key manner, but the employees are disobedient, and the result is a mess, the two ends are not people, so he is disheartened, and it didn't take long for the newspaper to be sold for decades......

Magazines and books are not very time-sensitive, the publication cycle is long, it is not difficult to review, the threshold for movies and TV stations is high, there are many interests, the work is complex, and it needs to be completed through collaboration, and the chance of messing around is very small, even if someone messes around, a ban order can make him have no place in the entire industry, but as long as the editors and reporters of the newspaper have a pen, one person can work, and he has just been dismissed here, and he has been posted there, which is neither good to supervise nor to make an example of the monkey, how to manage?

Therefore, after Shen Chong crossed over, he did everything in the east and west, but he didn't touch the newspaper, because if he did it now, he would have to face the threat of various turmoil, and in the future, he would have to face the impact of the Internet......

Chicken ribs, chicken ribs!

"Don't clean up, let the cleaners come and get it." Shen Chong stopped Qiu Siyu from cleaning the ashtray and said, "It's easy to get dirty clothes, and fine dust is not good for your health." ”

Qiu Siyu smiled at his concern, and the two walked out of the conference room one after the other, and when they passed by Zhang Aijia's office, Shen Chong saw a note posted on the door.

"Private party, boss don't enter !!"

This handwriting looks like it was written by Chen Yunwen's crazy woman......

Shen Chong smiled slightly, shook his head, and was about to go to his office, which was a coincidence, at this moment, Zhang Aijia opened the door, saw him standing outside, was a little taken aback, and asked, "Is the meeting over?" ”

"Just finished." Shen Chong drew a circle between the conference room and the office with his finger and explained, "Just passing through here. ”

"Hey, Sylvia, isn't **OSS here?" Chen Yunwen's ridiculous voice came from the room, "Do we want to avoid it?" Do you have a cubicle or an invisibility cloak here? ”

"Xiaoyu, go and call a few big men to come, set up a toll station at the door, collect coffee money, others charge 10 yuan, and joyce charges 1000!" Shen Chong countered Chen Yunwen's ridicule in the air, and then said with a smile: "You guys play yours, I'll go back to the office." ”

"Joyce was just kidding you." Zhang Aijia tore off the sticky notes on the door and said softly: "I had a morning meeting, I saw that you were very tired, why don't you come in and rest for a while." ”

"No, I'm obsessed with scenery, and as soon as I enter, I'll be cold." Shen Chong looked at his watch and said, "Come and call me when you're done talking, and then have dinner together...... Let Joyce be treated. ”

Zhang Aijia chuckled and nodded, she closed the door and said, "Just now, my grandfather called and said that Li Guoding came to Hong Kong in the afternoon and wanted to invite you to dinner in the evening." ”

Li Guoding is a celebrity in Taiwan's political circles and one of the main promoters of the Hsinchu Science and Technology Park, Shen Chong has long known and knows that this is a heavyweight who is not inferior to Wu Chok Tong, and he is not surprised that he came to Hong Kong, but asked: "Grandpa personally called?" ”

"Yes."

It doesn't matter who comes, it's who tells the key......

Wei Jingmeng's villa is an asset of the Kuomintang, and he can't hide his every move from others.

Shen Chong groaned slightly, turned his head and asked, "Xiaoyu, do I have any arrangements tonight?" ”

"Yes, I'm going to the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club for a private party tonight."

"Uncle Zhan is right, the richer people are, the less they need to spend money, and there will be white food to eat tonight." Shen Chong smiled and said to Zhang Aijia: "I know, I'll talk about it when Mr. Li contacts me." ”

Zhang Aijia snorted, pushed open the door, rolled her eyes, and asked, "Really don't come in?" ”

Shen Chong saw that her expression was bright and smart, and his heart, which was originally a little tired, was lifted, and he said loudly: "I am hundreds of thousands of dollars a minute, and I don't even have time to pick up the money when it falls on the ground, how can I have the kung fu to accompany an eighth woman like joyce to talk nonsense." ”

Then he laughed a few times in Stephen Chow's style and walked away.

Hong Kong's nonsensical comedy appeared very early, but it was very scattered and unsystematic, and it was not until Stephen Chow used comics to interpret this style that it was carried forward and became a movie genre, so Shen Chong's arrogant and funny was not appreciated by no one.

After entering his office, Shen Chong turned his face and ordered: "Xiaoyu, bring the operation data of the Taiwan branch of Oriental Charm this year and the reports about Hsinchu Science and Technology Park in the past two months...... Reports on Chiang Ching-kuo and Wang Sheng were also brought. ”

"Okay."

Singapore has a very small land area, the population is only half of Hong Kong, human resources are very poor, build a factory there, it will not take a few years, the cost will skyrocket, Taiwan has a population of 18 million, at least in the next ten years, do not worry too much about human resources and land, ten years later to transfer to the mainland is also very convenient, so Singapore is just a spare tire, used to negotiate with Taiwan to benefit the weight......

The purpose of Wei Jingmeng, the old fox, to call over was not to report the news, but to use blatant behavior to tell Shen Chong that Jiang Jingguo's attitude had softened and he could extort bamboo to his heart's content......
