Two Toyota sedans escorted Lin Xiaozhi's black Mercedes-Benz into the Mandarin Hotel, looking at the densely packed reporters outside the car through the window, Lin Xiaozhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and a sense of confidence and strength in mastering everything was filling his heart.

"Chairman, according to your instructions, we have sent invitations to all major media in Hong Kong, except for Next Media, Ming Pao Newspaper, Oriental Press and Sing Tao Press Group.

Chen Qiang sat opposite Lin Xiaozhi, the extended bulletproof Mercedes-Benz limousine he had recently ordered with the German car giant 'Daimler-Benz Group' cost him 4.72 million Hong Kong dollars, which was the most expensive luxury car in the 90s, but it was well spent. The car not only has an extra row of seats and space, but also is equipped with functions such as air conditioning, satellite navigation, refrigerator, TV, and satellite phone. It is said that this car is specially designed for the royal family and heads of government of some European countries, and he is the only one in Hong Kong, but the German luxury car does not have much popularity in Hong Kong, and with its inconspicuous black body, it is also extremely low-key.

However, Lin Xiaozhi bought it, obviously not just to be in the limelight. Unlike many wealthy people in Hong Kong who prefer British luxury cars, he pays more attention to the safety and performance of his cars.

What's more, with his current identity and influence, there is no longer any need to deliberately show anything, even if he is just riding in an ordinary civilian car, I believe that after today, he will immediately let the whole Hong Kong remember him.

Because now he does have this qualification!

"Really?" Lin Xiaozhi withdrew his gaze from the car window, then turned his face and asked, "You wait and ask, are the four families we didn't invite here?" ”

Chen Qiang's eyes lit up, and his face was a little impatient to know if they were here, so he immediately responded: "Yes, I'll find someone to take a look right away!" ”

After getting his reply, the corners of Lin Xiaozhi's mouth curved slightly, closed his eyes again, and rested with his back against the leather sofa in the car.

Yesterday's meeting with Jin Yong and Shen Baoxin, the two founders of Ming Pao, was not successful, Shen Baoxin was a little hesitant, his previous highly targeted cruel words obviously made him not very optimistic about Yu Pinhai and Ming Pao's confrontation with him, plus the price he offered was not bad, if he could change his 'hostility' towards Ming Pao by selling some shares to him, he was willing to accept selling a million shares to him, but it was by no means too much to give him enough to affect Yu Pinhai's control of Ming Pao.

As for Mr. Jin, although he has been patiently persuading him after he made his words clear, he even let go of the identity and pride of a generation of Chinese martial arts novel masters, and took the initiative to apologize to him on behalf of Pinhai, and promised that he would ask the management of Ming Pao after he went back, and would not ask the following to 'mess around and write nonsense'. However, he had no intention of selling his shares in Ming Pao to anyone again.

Come to think of it, the reason why he sold 30% of the shares to Yu Pinhai at the beginning was completely because he was old and had no successor, and he wanted to find a younger and more promising new owner for Ming Pao who could take Ming Pao further. And he himself will continue to be the major shareholder and founder, sharing the growth dividend of Ming Pao, of course, it is impossible to easily sell the shares of Ming Pao to others.

Unable to negotiate with Shen Baoxin and Jin Yong for the time being, although Lin Xiaozhi was disappointed, he didn't pay too much attention to it, because he knew very well how many killer moves he had prepared next, even if the two of them didn't sell Ming Pao shares to him, he could kill Yu Pinhai, but the means were too vicious, and it would inevitably leave a bad reputation.

For this press conference, there is no doubt that Media Asia is very prepared. Chen Qiang not only contacted the Wenhua Hotel in advance to organize security personnel, but also notified the nearby police station to arrange several teams of patrol officers to come over to maintain order. In addition, when Lin Xiaozhi went out, he also specially transferred ten strong bodyguards from the Lin Mansion to protect him, so although the Mandarin Hotel was already crowded with reporters who came to hear the news at this time, it did not affect the group at all. When the car slowly stopped at the gate of the Mandarin Hotel, even though the car had just stopped, it was flooded with reporters inside and out.

But soon rushed out of the Mandarin Hotel, a team of strong security efforts to push through the crowd to the front of the car and opened the door, eight bodyguards from the Lin Mansion got out of the car, and immediately tacitly reached the human wall, with the hotel security, for Lin Xiaozhi to reluctantly build a road to the hotel lobby.

After the order was finally stabilized, the passenger seat of Lin Xiaozhi's special car and the door of the rear compartment opened, and Gao Sen, who had now become his personal bodyguard, got out of the car with another bodyguard first, looking around vigilantly, while carefully escorting him behind him out.

And the already lively crowd also became noisy and even more noisy as he got out of the car.

“…… Some time ago, "Next Magazine" exposed a scandal about you, what do you say about it? ”

"Lin Sheng, it has been rumored that you have acquired ATV recently, is this so?"

"Lin Sheng, two days ago, a well-known newspaper in the industry wrote an article accusing you of deliberately delaying the filming of your movie "Resident Evil" to help it break through the box office of 60 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, do you have any explanation for this?"

"There is news exposed, you have recently had a stalemate with several media in the industry, and there is even news that Media Asia is collecting information and preparing to sue several media giants in the industry, is this news true?"

Although he put on sunglasses in advance, a magnesium light that lit up in an instant still stimulated the expression on Lin Xiaozhi's face to change. However, it was not because of impatience or dissatisfaction, quite the opposite, but that he began to enjoy the feeling of being in the spotlight more and more.

As soon as he saw the main owner coming, one media reporter after another rushed to him excitedly as if he had been beaten with chicken blood. As a result, he broke through the wall of more than a dozen security guards arranged for him on the hotel side at once, and the water around them was impassable, and the long guns and short cannons almost pointed directly at his face.

Fortunately, Gao Sen and the ten bodyguards of the Lin Mansion have never relaxed, and after seeing the hotel security being dispersed by the excited reporters who seemed to have been beaten with blood, they immediately hugged him in the middle, relying on the strong body that had been exercised for a long time, and finally reluctantly built a human wall, and it was difficult to protect Lin Xiaozhi and Chen Qiang in the human wall.

"Please don't be impatient......

Chen Qiang took the lead in trying to persuade the reporters to make way, but no one listened to him, and the scene was still noisy and noisy.

Fortunately, Lin Xiaozhi didn't mess up, he raised his head slightly, and didn't even raise his tone and said: "Originally, I was going to wait for the press conference to end and leave a period of time for everyone to ask questions." However, I will see that there are so many people who have questions to ask, I will answer a few for the time being to satisfy all media friends, as for more questions, I will answer them in detail after the press conference! ”

His voice seemed to have a magical power, his voice was not too loud, but the moment he spoke, the surroundings in front of him suddenly fell silent, and as a result, in addition to being squeezed in the outermost area, the media people and reporters who were still unwilling to squeeze in there would be a few noises from time to time, and the front of the Mandarin Hotel, which was originally as lively as a vegetable market, instantly quieted down.

Seeing that the situation was under control, Lin Xiaozhi smiled with satisfaction, he clicked on a female reporter who was more impressed, and he desperately squeezed in front of him, and said: "I remember that this friend just asked me a question about my movie, which will make me proudly answer this friend." For some bad media who questioned me about deliberately delaying the filming of "Resident Evil" just to gain fame and reputation, I also hope that all media friends will convey to it for me, if you have the ability to make a movie that can get more than one billion Hong Kong dollars at the box office worldwide, and then talk nonsense and nonsense. Hong Kong has 6 million people, but we have only 30 cinemas under the MA Group, so it's not uncommon for a two-month screening to satisfy the enthusiasm of the wider public. Wasn't there a single film in Hong Kong that was shown for more than two months before our Asia Visit? Some bad media have to be ignorant to know that in Taiwan Province, which is separated by a body of water, it is not surprising that a movie in the four major state-run theaters has been screened for more than half a year! ”

Open the gun, this is Chi Guoguo's shot in the face!

Today, Lin Xiaozhi's first question was answered so toughly and domineeringly, which made the reporters present who were still a little boiling and shouting quiet for a moment, but after quickly reacting, they boiled like an exploding pot.

There is no such thing, just because a certain well-known newspaper in the industry that wrote an article accusing him of Lin Hsiaozhi two days ago is none other than the "Oriental Daily", which has the largest circulation in Hong Kong today. In Hong Kong, the media undoubtedly have an extraordinary social status, and the idle and powerful are unwilling to offend them, and the Oriental Press Group, which owns the "Oriental Daily," is a veritable Hong Kong media giant, such as Li Ka-shing, the richest man in Hong Kong last year, who suffered some small losses at their hands, and among the many media in Hong Kong, it can be said that except for Shao Yifu's TVB, which is the most powerful, no one will buy it, and everyone will sell his face, which is the most domineering in their Oriental newspaper industry.

If you talk about domineering, even ATV, which has been weak for many years, is currently a little worse than the Oriental Newspaper.

But it is such a domineering Oriental Press Group, but at this time, the "Oriental Daily" under their name was severely criticized by Lin Xiaozhi as 'full of nonsense', 'only talking nonsense', 'ignorant and no common sense'.

It took a long time for these words to be digested by the many media people and reporters present.

As a result, the whole scene suddenly boiled.

"Earn ...... Earn a lot of ......"

"I'll just say that he, Lin Xiaozhi, has always been known as the Hong Kong news maker, and he is not afraid that there will be no big news!"

"If you make money, even if there is no revelation today, just relying on him to bombard the "Oriental Daily" is enough for our "Xiangjiang Daily" to sell well tomorrow!"

It is said that friends of the dead are not dead and poor, and everyone in the world is selfish.

"Oriental Daily" was slapped in the face by Lin Xiaozhi, but many media people invited to come today not only did not feel any unhappiness, but more of a schadenfreude and the excitement of not waiting to watch the post-play. If you want to say that the people who are really angry and unhappy, they are only the people of "Oriental Daily".

For example, at this moment, Song Bingshu, the editor-in-chief of the entertainment section of "Oriental Daily", blushed his face and tried to suppress the anger that went straight up in his heart.

Today, their "Oriental Daily" did not receive an invitation from Media Asia and Lin Xiaozhi, and Song Bingshu was not too surprised by this. He is the editor-in-chief of the entertainment section of the Oriental Daily, and recently, under the above request and hint, he and a group of people under him have made a lot of reports attacking and smearing Lin Xiaozhi and Huanya. I had already guessed that Lin Xiaozhi, who also controlled the Chengbao Newspaper Group and was technically a media giant, would sooner or later choose to block and confront the Oriental Newspaper Industry.

It's just that, after all, he eats the bowl of rice of the media, and Song Bingshu also knows very well that in Hong Kong, especially in the entertainment industry, the one who can create valuable big news the most is Lin Xiaozhi. The title of 'news maker' is not for nothing, looking at the history of his rise of Lin Xiaozhi, it is a successful propaganda and hype textbook.

So although he didn't receive an invitation, he Song Bingshu still came, and not only came by himself, but also brought a lot of paparazzi reporters, who had the intention to make things difficult and disgusting to him at the press conference, to see if he could create some exclusive revelations and news.

The eyes of those media people who knew him around him were like sharp swords at this time, stabbing Song Bingshu's face red, and it was rare to see green tendons on his white arms, which showed how much he was stimulated by the eyes of 'weird', or disdain, or ridicule, or watching the play. It also made him, who was originally going to temporarily suppress his anger and turn around and teach Lin Xiaozhi a lesson with a pen and paper in his hand, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and suddenly snorted coldly, and asked: "Lin Sheng really thinks about my six million citizens in Hong Kong, admires and admires." Since Lin Sheng claimed that he was not trying to sell his fame and reputation, he wanted the glory of 'the first movie with a box office of more than 60 million in Hong Kong', but to take care of Hong Kong citizens who had not seen this movie. Then set up a threshold privately, I heard that your Debao Cinema Line deliberately raised the conditions for the introduction of screenings, and did not allow other theaters to introduce the screening of "Resident Evil"! Since Lin Sheng thinks so much about the people, why should he set a threshold for Lang, and can't let more theaters screen it to meet the public's enthusiasm for watching movies? ”

This sudden attack was loud and piercing, and sure enough, as soon as it came out, it attracted everyone's attention, and even Lin Xiaozhi looked at him.

Song Bingshu was proud in his heart, and just wanted to continue to make trouble, but he didn't want Lin Xiaozhi's eyes to stop on the work card hanging on his chest, so he immediately turned around halfway and whispered something to Chen Qiang beside him, because the voice was so low that no one else heard it except for the media people who had squeezed to his side not far away.

After a while, it seemed that the words were finished, and after seeing Chen Qiang, the president of Media Asia, nodding and nodding under the escort of the two bodyguards, Lin Xiaozhi turned around and replied to him: "Look at the work card on your body, Your Excellency is from the "Oriental Daily", right?" Originally, I am not obliged to answer your question, because Oriental Press Group has been blacklisted as a non-cooperative partner of Media Asia, so we have not extended an invitation to any media under your Oriental Press Group at today's press conference. But since Your Excellency has asked, I also have a question for you, if you rack your brains to write an exclusive report, and just after it is published in the newspaper, other newspapers will come and ask for it to be reprinted. Could it be that your newspaper will also set no restrictions and let people use it for free without charging a reprint fee? ”

This can be said to be extremely damaging, because anyone who knows anything about the Hong Kong media should know that as early as the 50s and 60s, the major media in Hong Kong copied each other, and there were many similar reporters with the exact number of words. In fact, when Ma Xizhen first founded the "Oriental Daily", he also plagiarized the content of other newspapers, especially the "Sing Tao Daily" and "Ming Pao" back then.

What is even more ironic is that when Oriental Daily gradually became the first newspaper in Hong Kong in the 70s, Oriental Press itself became the target of plagiarism of other people's news content. In order to combat this imagination, the Ma brothers can be said to have exhausted all means. In addition to inviting famous writers to write articles attacking those media that plagiarized themselves in conspicuous places in their own newspapers, they often used their own dark forces to openly attack the editors and management of the other side and smash the other side's printing house. Later, he took advantage of his 'industry status' and joined hands with a number of media giants to formulate a 'reprint payment' system, advocating the principle of reprint payment and blatantly charging high reprint fees.

So Lin Xiaozhi blocked him by talking like this, which can not be said to be a slap in the face! Song Bingshu obviously also knew about this history, and when he heard this, his face turned white immediately, and he was so blocked that he couldn't speak, but he was more shocked in his heart, because if there was no problem with his ears just now, then he clearly heard a sentence from Lin Xiaozhi's mouth, 'Their Oriental Press Group has been included in the blacklist of non-cooperation by Media Asia'.

In other words, the famous 'news-making machine' in Hong Kong, who was in front of him, actually declared war on the Oriental Newspaper Industry!!

Song Bingshu was not the only one who was stunned for a moment, you must know that Lu Dao was present, but there were hundreds of media people and reporters from major media present, when Lin Xiaozhi said that paragraph, there was a brief silence on the scene, and this time even the reporters in the back row who were still clamoring to fight for a good position before were quiet.

But when the brain was fully operational, and had already listened to and digested his words, the crowd experienced a brief silence, and it was like an explosion in an instant, and there was an uproar.

“…… Lin Sheng, did you just say that you have put Oriental Press Group on the unpopular blacklist? ”

"Just now Lin Sheng, you said that "Oriental Daily" did not accept the invitation of Media Asia to participate in this press conference, is there another hidden reason?"

"Lin Sheng......"

"I'd like to ask ......"

The reporters who reacted again had completely turned into man-eating sharks stimulated by the smell of blood, setting up long guns and short cannons with great momentum, or pressing the shutter of the camera quickly, or holding the microphone hard, desperately squeezing forward. Rao is Gao Sen They are strong, but they can only be squeezed back again and again in front of Lin Xiaozhi, and they are about to squeeze Lin Xiaozhi who is protected behind them, Gao Sen had no choice but to signal Lin Xiaozhi with his eyes, ready to forcibly escort him into the hotel, but who knew that Lu Dao was stopped by Lin Xiaozhi's look.

"Please be quiet, ......"

His voice is still not loud, but the effect is very good, and the immediate effect is much quieter than the noise around him: "Regarding this matter, we will answer you in detail at the press conference, as well as the rumors of the acquisition of ATV mentioned by another media friend, and some other questions." ”

Speaking of this, a slight embarrassment appeared on his face, and he deliberately glanced at the time of the watch on his wrist before saying: "I originally planned to answer some questions from everyone here first, but so many of us are blocked here, which has seriously affected the business of the Mandarin Hotel." In this way, I see that many media friends have already arrived, so let's start the press conference half an hour early! ”

Coincidentally, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Chen Qiang, who had just been explained by him and left, and walked over with the newly sent security guards from the Mandarin Hotel. Suddenly, the smile on the corner of his mouth became thicker, and he said to Song Bingshu, who had an ugly face: "By the way, I will bring a word to Oriental Press Group, in view of the smear and infringement of my privacy, reputation and the reputation of Media Asia Group by Oriental Press Group some time ago, wait for my lawyer's letter!" He was so blocked that he couldn't speak, but he was more shocked in his heart, because if there was no problem with his ears just now, then he clearly heard a sentence from Lin Xiaozhi's mouth, 'Their Oriental Press Group has been included in the blacklist of Media Asia for no cooperation'.

In other words, the famous 'news-making machine' in Hong Kong, who was in front of him, actually declared war on the Oriental Newspaper Industry!!

Song Bingshu was not the only one who was stunned for a moment, you must know that Lu Dao was present, but there were hundreds of media people and reporters from major media present, when Lin Xiaozhi said that paragraph, there was a brief silence on the scene, and this time even the reporters in the back row who were still clamoring to fight for a good position before were quiet.
