Chapter 475: Press Conference

A black Bentley slowly stopped in the parking area at the intersection, the door was quickly opened, and a young and beautiful woman who looked only in her thirties walked down, she was wearing a big toad glasses that are now popular in Hong Kong, and after getting out of the car, the woman looked around, and then turned around and said a word to the car, and then carefully helped an old man out of the car.

"Le Yi, don't be so careful!"

Jin Yong was helped out of the car by his little wife, smiled and didn't care about her carefulness.

The 'Ming Pao Battle' followed by the Ming Pao listing at the beginning of the year made this martial arts master, who is already over 60 years old and famous in the Chinese world, the focus of media pursuit, although he had already finalized the sale of 30% of Ming Pao's shares to Hong Kong wealthy businessman Yu Pinhai in the middle of the year, which was regarded as a temporary end to this 'Ming Pao battle'.

However, because he still holds Sancheng Mingbao shares in his hands, he still has the ability to decide the fate of Mingbao. In addition to his public office, some of the documents he often drafts can also affect Hong Kong's return and future, so even in the second half of the year, there are still many media people hovering around him.

"Master, be careful. After all, you have something to do today, and if you really encounter it, it's not good to delay the time! ”

Jin Yong's little wife is named Lin Leyi, and she is in love with him, and she is thirty years younger than him. Like the great director Xu Ke and his early Shi Nansheng, Mr. Jin also likes his wife to call him 'master' when he is at home, which is also quite interesting.

As soon as she said it, Jin Yong just smiled and nodded, and when he turned around, he said to the driver: "Ah Chang, you park the car in the nearby parking lot and listen to us first!" ”

Only then did he walk to a well-known restaurant in Hong Kong not far away, with the support of his wife.

"Shanghai Guild Hall!"

Lin Leyi glanced at the familiar restaurant, and said to Jin Yong with a smile: "Master, it seems that the person who invited you today is very sincere, and even inquired very clearly about your preference for Shanghai food." ”

But no, although Jin Yong is good at Shanghai cuisine, although the people around him know the way, the people who know the way are either relatives and friends or friends. Lin Xiaozhi, who invited him today, obviously does not belong to these two types of people, and it is rare to be able to spend some time inquiring about his preferences.

Jin Yong just smiled but didn't reply, but there was more thinking in his eyes.

He knows his own family affairs, he knows that he is not familiar with the rich Shaolin Xiaozhi, who has been in the limelight in Hong Kong for a few years, and even because of his friend Ni Zhen, the son of Ni Mad, the relationship with him is still a little cold. A few years ago, in order to help his son, Ni Mad also used his influence in Ming Pao to write several anonymous articles in private to criticize Lin Xiaozhi.

Now that people have come to the door again, I'm afraid this meal is not delicious.

"I'm afraid this meal won't be delicious!"

At the same time, there is another person who has this idea, and it is Shen Baoxin.

Today, I suddenly received a visit from Chen Qiang, the president of Media Asia, and invited him to a banquet in the evening. Although Shen Baoxin was made by the hint in the other party's words, he heard that there was also an old man Jin Yong who received the invitation together, so he just thought about it for a while and agreed, wanting to see what medicine was sold in the other party's gourd.

Because the home is on the main island, it is closer to the Shanghai Guild Hall. So he came earlier than Jin Yong, and after coming to the place agreed by the other party in the morning, he found that the other party came earlier than him.

Even though it's already December, and the air conditioning is turned on in the restaurant's private room. But Shen Baoxin still faintly appeared some beads of sweat on his forehead at this time, and there was only one reason, that is, the young man who was sitting not far from him and had a smile on his face all the time.

Although he had already guessed the other party's purpose, he had already thought of various ways to refuse and answer before that.

However, Shen Baoxin didn't expect that as soon as the other party came up, he made it clear that the carriage and horses were pointing directly at the center: "Cha Sheng hasn't come yet, but it doesn't affect our communication." Shen Sheng must have heard some rumors from Mr. Chen, and I also like to say something straightforward, I am bound to get the shares of Ming Pao Newspaper in your hands, so I hope Shen Sheng can consider it and sell me the shares in his hands! Of course, I'm not greedy, if I'm not mistaken, after Ming Pao went public, Shen Sheng's shares have been diluted from 20% to 15%, and then some were cashed out, and now there should only be about 13% left. I am willing to buy 8% of Shen Sheng's shares in Ming Pao at a premium of 30% at the highest price of Ming Pao. ”

Cold sweat......

In addition to a cold sweat or a cold sweat......

The other party obviously put a lot of effort into it, and even knew how many shares he had cashed out after Ming Pao was listed, and it was obvious that he was determined to win Ming Pao. It's not a good thing to be targeted by such a predator, especially since Ming Pao has just experienced a listing and management change, and is at a critical point in the transfer of power between two generations.

is not as good as Jin Yong, although Shen Baoxin is also the founder of Ming Pao, he does not have as much aura as Jin Yong. He is a qualified manager, but also a qualified businessman. Therefore, it is very clear that with Lin Xiaozhi's current financial situation, if he wants to forcibly buy Ming Pao, even if he is sniped and fails, it will only be them who will be greatly injured.

At that moment, he put down the unhappiness of being regarded as a fish on the board, and persuaded with good words: "If I remember correctly, Lin Sheng's main business should be movies, and his business has already been reported, why do you suddenly want to buy us Ming Pao?" ”

In other words, he tactfully persuaded him that his main business was not the media, and reminded him that you already have a newspaper group, so don't beat our Ming Pao idea again.

Lin Xiaozhi was persuaded to retreat with a word of persuasion from him, and his tone was still flat but aggressive: "Under the management of Cha Sheng and Shen Sheng, your newspaper did not have any friction with the industry under my name in business, and everyone was fine. However, since Yu Pinhai became a shareholder, Ming Pao has caused me a lot of trouble recently, not only suspected of personal attacks and smears against me, but also made false reports on the industry under my name. I'm a friendly person, but I'm not without a temper. A few days ago, I made an appointment with Yu Pinhai, and I had the intention to take the initiative to make friends with him, but who expected him to target me everywhere in front of people, and made it clear that the carriage and horse would not be able to get along with me. Since I can't be friends, then Ming Pao is my enemy. I usually have only one way to deal with the enemy, and I can't fight him until he can't get along. Shen Sheng should consider my proposal, although I admire you and Cha Sheng, but whether Ming Pao will be able to sell it at this price in two days, I don't guarantee it! ”

Hong Kong people pay more attention to politeness in front of others, so they always treat people with honorific words such as 'madam' and 'sir'. But Lin Xiaozhi would simply call Yu Pinhai by his name, and even clearly told Shen Baoxin that it was he who took the initiative to find fault with Yu Pinhai, forcing him to treat Ming Pao as an enemy. This not only made an excuse for his aggressive acquisition, but also shifted all the responsibility to Yu Pinhai, and also increased the dissatisfaction of Shen Baoxin and Jin Yong, the founders of Ming Pao, with Pinhai, which can be said to be counted in one fell swoop.

Shen Baoxin's face changed several times when he heard this, and his eyelids were also jumping. Even persuasion became weak: "Lin Sheng, don't be impatient, if Yu Sheng offends you by something, let's make an appointment for everyone to come out and sit together, talk about the matter well, apologize and expose the matter, why make such a fuss?" ”

Since Jin Yong was introduced to Pinhai at the beginning of the year, although he has been the largest shareholder and vice chairman of the board of directors of Ming Pao and the president of Ming Pao Newspaper, the transfer of power around Ming Pao has just begun. For example, the current chairman of the board of directors of Ming Pao Newspaper Group is still Jin Yong, and he has just resigned as president, and he also serves as the executive director of Ming Pao and a director of the group.

To say that Shen Baoxin doesn't agree with absorbing Yu Pinhai in. Two years ago, Jin Yong thought that he was old and was ready to resign and retire, he suggested that Jin Yong's second son take over, and after Jin Yong refused with his second son not learning and no skills, he successively proposed to follow Shao Yifu and let Jin Yong's beautiful and talented wife Lin Leyi take over Ming Pao, or hire a professional manager to manage it, and he still served as the chairman of the board of directors to grasp the strategic development of the group.

Jin Yong is a confident and conceited person, he never believes in professional managers, but he was moved by his proposal to let his wife Lin Leyi take over Mingbao, but when he ventilated in Mingbao in advance, he failed to get the understanding of a group of old courtiers, and the supporters were only a few. And in the subsequent TVB poaching storm, Fang Yihua also became the focus of attacks and accusations from major media, which made Jin Yong worry that his wife Lin Leyi was not qualified for this position, so he released the news that he was going to sell Ming Pao.

Yu Pinhai, an acquisition maniac from the capital world, has the ability to say that he still has the ability, when he acquired the Philippine listed company Leju Hotel (the owner of the Manila Hilton Hotel) at zero cost, he completely relied on the empty glove white wolf. He first approached the Leju Hotel and told the owner that he was willing to buy the poorly run hotel at a high price. Then he found the American Hilton Group, which authorized Leju Hotel to operate the Manila Hilton Hotel, and told them that if the Hilton Group promised to continue to license him, he promised to invest more capital to operate the Manila Hilton Hotel after the acquisition. Then he took the authorization of the American Hilton Group to the acquisition agreement with the Leju Hotel, found a bank loan, and successfully completed the acquisition of the Leju Hotel without spending a penny.

After this incident was exposed, it once became a classic case praised by the Hong Kong capital community in 89 years, and Yu Pinhai became a new star in the Hong Kong capital community.

Jin Yong also took a fancy to his ability, so after Yu Pinhai visited him and expressed his willingness to take over Ming Pao, he did not agree to Murdoch's more generous purchase price, but sold his 30% stake to him, helping him become the new owner of Ming Pao. Since he joined Ming Pao, he has indeed changed the disadvantages of being too small in the Jin Yong period, vigorously hired reporters and paparazzi, and published some news and political commentaries that were originally impossible to publish in the Jin Yong period, so that everyone in Ming Pao noticed the changes.

Originally, because the time was too short, I couldn't tell if this change was good or bad.

Now, Lin Xiaozhi took the initiative to kill him, and said ruthless words to Pinhai to annoy him, forcing him to buy and suppress Ming Pao. Shen Baoxin suddenly realized that the changes he brought were the worst.

Lin Xiaozhi was just about to reply, when suddenly there was a knock on the door, Gao Sen opened the door, and after half of his body, Jin Yong, who was smiling behind him, walked into the private room with his wife Lin Leyi.

He smiled at the moment, "I also said that Cha Sheng should almost arrive, and it just so happens that Cha Sheng is also here." Gao Sen, let the outside bring us the food later, we have something to discuss! ”

Gao Sen nodded in response, closed the door again, and retreated.

In the house, there were only four people left, Lin Xiaozhi, Shen Baoxin, Jin Yong and his wife Lin Leyi.

"In your busy schedule, I also asked Cha Sheng and Shen Sheng to take the time to come over, thank you two for your face. This should be Chatai, hello! ”

In front of people, Lin Xiaozhi has always paid great attention to politeness, not to mention that he is still facing a well-known newspaper tycoon and novel giant in the Chinese world, so although Fang Cai told Shen Baoxin some anger, Lin Xiaozhi still got up and politely greeted the two of him after Jin Yong and his wife arrived.

Seeing that Shen Baoxin, the other founder of Ming Pao, was also there, Jin Yong was not surprised. In fact, the two of them were already angry, but when they saw that his face was very ugly, his heart also sank, and he secretly said, 'There is no good banquet', but he still squeezed out a smile and returned the salute to Lin Xiaozhi.

"Lin Sheng is too polite, my old man is ready to retire, and he just exerts his residual heat after the most reluctance these days, and after the New Year, he just raises flowers, reads books, and recites Buddhist scriptures. What's in your busy schedule...... It's you, but you're a busy man. Several juniors in my family like to watch your movies, and my old man also went over to watch a few shows, isn't this when I came over today, there are juniors who asked me to ask, do you have plans to make a new film recently? ”

He said politely, without putting on a stand in front of Lin Xiaozhi, and there were a few words of flattery in his words. It made Lin Xiaozhi, who had not had much contact with him, feel a lot better about him, but it did not shake his will at all.

"Hello Lin Sheng!" Lin Leyi also said hello to him, and several people sat down separately.

Lin Xiaozhi glanced at Shen Baoxin, who wanted to speak and stopped, just like just now, after a few people sat down, he went straight to the center: "I've already talked to Shen Sheng for a while, but Cha Sheng, you're new, I'll repeat it again." I intend to buy 20% and 8% of Ming Pao's shares from Cha Sheng and Shen Sheng respectively at a premium of 30% of the current Ming Pao stock price, hoping that the two of you can agree to my ......."

……

Three days is not long, but it is definitely not short.

There is no impermeable wall in the entertainment industry, Lin Xiaozhi held the Wenhua meeting again, and the news of exposing big news one after another at the meeting soon came out. Even the conflict between him and the Oriental Press and Ming Pao did not know to whom the Tao was spread, but it made the Hong Kong media lively again in the past few days.

There is news that Lin Xiaozhi has completed the acquisition of ATV!

It is reported that Lin Xiaozhi invited major film companies to prepare for a large-scale cooperation!

It is also rumored that he fired at the two media giants at the same time, and seems to be ready to fight back against the media reports on his scandal some time ago.

Some people wonder about the authenticity of these messages; Some people are shocked by the courage of this 'wealthy rebel' and the 'Hong Kong news maker' to fire at several major media giants; more people are still surprised and looking forward to whether he has really acquired ATV, which has been in the limelight in Hong Kong for the past two years!

So, when the major media were in doubt, I don't know if Lu Dao should continue to follow up and report this news, or send an interview request to Media Asia and Lin Xiaozhi. Since the scandal came out, Lin Xiaozhi, who had been silent for more than half a month, and his Media Asia Group finally made a move, and on the second day of "Resident Evil" officially exceeded 60 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, Lin Xiaozhi sent invitations to dozens of large and small media in Hong Kong with the title of "A press conference will be held in the near future to answer some questions that the people are concerned about some time ago".

As soon as the invitation came out, the Hong Kong media shook together.
