Chapter 672: Hong Kong Times
The "Hong Kong Times", formerly known as the "National Daily", was founded in 1939 by the Hong Kong, Macao and Bay General Branch of the Kuomintang, and has a very strong Kuomintang color, so in terms of political leanings, the "Hong Kong Times" has always been inclined to dark blue, and it is natural to look at "red capitalists" like Han Jin differently.
At this moment, in the "Hong Kong Times" newspaper office, President Ye Mingyu is talking on the phone with Taiwan.
"Lao Ye, what did you do, it has no effect at all!" The tone on the Taiwanese side was very harsh.
"Minister, I'm sorry, it's my lack of ability." Ye Mingyu apologized while wiping his sweat.
Although he is the president of the "Hong Kong Times", in front of this minister, he is as pitiful as his third grandson.
"Keep scolding me, keep scolding me harder, and keep scolding me until he bows his head and admits his mistakes." The minister made the lion roar.
"Minister, we have now received fifty lawyers' letters, and if we continue to scold, we are afraid that we will not even be able to pay the lawyer's fees." Ye Mingyu hurriedly complained.
In the past two days, because of the relationship with Han Jin, the "Hong Kong Times" has continued to receive lawyer's letters, and so far it has received 50 letters. And every lawyer's letter to fight a lawsuit, with the current funds of the "Hong Kong Times", it is simply not enough to pay the lawyer's fees.
"Waste, so intimidated!" When the minister heard that he didn't get things done, and he still had the face to complain, he couldn't help but scold, "Don't talk to me, continue to scold me." ”
"Minister, as for the matter of funding, shall we add a little bit as appropriate?" Ye Mingyu heard what the minister said, so he had to ask cheekily.
The Hong Kong Times now has a circulation of 20,000 copies, barely enough money to cover the newspaper's expenses. But now that Han Jin is evil, and he has got into so many lawsuits, this money is a bit insufficient.
"I'll try my best to get you the money, but you also know that the small boss and the big boss have different personalities. I don't really like to engage in cultural struggles, so I'm not sure how much I can get. The minister said.
"Alas!" Ye Mingyu couldn't help but sigh when he heard the minister say this.
It's different from the big boss who wants to counterattack the mainland. After the small boss came to power, he paid more attention to the construction of people's livelihood. Although Taiwan has become one of the four Asian tigers, it is for them, the fighters of public opinion, who are fighting on the front line. It's a little cold.
The funds are getting smaller and smaller year by year, so that Ye Mingyu, the president, is getting harder and harder year by year.
"Okay, Lao Ye, don't complain about the heavens and others, you have to think more about yourself. If you look at "Oriental Daily", "Sing Tao Daily", and "Ming Pao", these newspapers do not have the support of the party-state, don't they also make a lot of money? The minister added. Well, you're refueling and waiting for your good news. With that, he hung up the phone.
"I'll fork your mother! In the end, I am blamed for my lack of ability?! Ye Mingyu couldn't help but scold.
He has been the president of the Hong Kong Times since the 70s, and he has been struggling to maintain himself for so many years, but now he is questioned for his own inability, how can this not make him feel angry and discouraged.
You must know that the "Hong Kong Times" is so downtrodden, and more than half of the reason is to blame Taiwan, who let them always play chess indiscriminately! Obviously, he was not familiar with the situation in Hong Kong, but he had to command remotely from across the strait. The newspaper became a puppeteer. A lot of popular news can't be reported, and you can only publish some ** articles according to the instructions above.
Come on. Twenty years ago, these news could still attract Hong Kong citizens, but now that everyone is busy making money to support their families, who cares about the little of the struggle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party 20 years ago.
It is precisely because of the stale content of the report that the Hong Kong Times is becoming less and less popular. The middle class doesn't like its biased stance, and young people don't like its stale articles. Now, apart from a group of die-hard Veterans supporters, the Hong Kong Times is struggling to attract new readers.
Now they turn their faces and deny people, and attribute all the fault to their own incompetence, which is really too deceitful.
When I was getting angry, I suddenly heard a thudding noise. When I was wondering, I suddenly heard a snap. The window glass burst open.
Ye Mingyu was startled and looked at it. And behold, a stone was rolling on the ground.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At that moment, I heard a quick knock on the door.
"Come in!" Ye Mingyu hurriedly shouted.
"President, something is wrong, there are a bunch of people gathered under our newspaper." Editor-in-chief Chen Zhengyang said in a panic.
"Who?" Ye Mingyu asked suspiciously.
"It seems to be a fan of Han Jin, who thinks that we have published bad things about him in the newspaper, and now he is making trouble below." Chen Zhengyang Huang hurriedly explained.
"Oh?!" Ye Mingyu stood up in surprise, then walked to the window to take a look, and was suddenly startled.
I saw hundreds of people standing downstairs, all of them young people, holding banners in their hands, "The Garbage Times is still innocent!" "The media can't die if you spread rumors! "Hong Kong Times" made up nonsense" and so on, shouting loudly below while holding it up. Some of them kept throwing stones at the wall of the newspaper office, and the smashing sound was thumping.
"President, what should we do, should we call the police quickly?" Chen Zhengyang was worried that if this group of mobs rushed into the newspaper office and smashed the newspaper office, it would be a terrible thing.
"Well, don't call the police yet, let me talk to them first. These people were all deceived by Han Jin, so they would do such a stupid thing, and I believe that they will change their minds after the discussion. Ye Mingyu thought about it, and then said to Chen Zhengyang.
"President, you can't go down, it's too dangerous." When Chen Zhengyang saw it, he hurriedly persuaded.
"No, in my opinion, this is a good opportunity to communicate with readers, don't stop me." Ye Mingyu said confidently, and then strode downstairs.
When Chen Zhengyang saw it, he had to take two people to follow, and if something happened, he would have a helper quickly.
Ye Mingyu led people downstairs, and when he went out of the door of the building, he saw a large group of young people at the door, and there were many people around to watch the excitement.
Seeing that as soon as he came out, so many people looked at him, Ye Mingyu himself felt a little excited.
How long has it been since I've spoken to so many people, how long has it been since I've been in the spotlight like this?! Isn't this his own stage today, which makes him suddenly feel like Optimus Pillar is turning the tide.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Ye Mingyu, the president of the Hong Kong Times!" He said loudly, "If you have anything to talk to me directly, don't do anything here." ”
"He's the president of the street!" Someone in the crowd shouted.
Hearing him shout, everyone immediately began to make an uproar, "It's still young and innocent!" "The Hong Kong Times is making up nonsense. "Unscrupulous media reporters have no virtue! (To be continued)
