Volume 1 Chapter 298 Our 1990 (Part I)
On August 15, the Kowloon Bank had just held a general meeting of shareholders, and it was just noon when the news that Lin Xiaozhi replaced his father and brother who had encountered a car accident to take charge of the Kowloon Bank, spread to the ears of the media.
"Is this news true?"
In the editorial office of the "Hong Kong Economic Times", the editor-in-chief and director Kwan Jiaming held a short note in his hand, his face was overjoyed.
As a financial newspaper that was just established in 19RR, the Hong Kong Economic Times is a young person in Hong Kong. Moreover, its positioning also overlaps with that of the Hong Kong Economic Journal, and although it follows the same serious style as the Hong Kong Economic Journal, the Economic Daily has still not been able to gain a firm foothold in the market, with a circulation of only 20,000 or 30,000 copies so far, and many newspapers are returned every day to be destroyed. Compared with the industry giant Hong Kong Economic Journal, which sells more than 100,000 copies at every turn, the Hong Kong Economic Times is not having a good time.
In July, at the summary meeting in the first half of this year, someone suggested to the editor-in-chief, Guan Jiaming, that he could follow the example of "Next Magazine" to strengthen its authoritative position among readers of serious financial topics while reporting some news that low- and middle-class citizens like. Influenced by the fact that Next Magazine, which was born at the beginning of this year and grew rapidly in just a few months, and has now sold 30,000 or 40,000 copies in a single issue, Kwan Jiaming has set up a special team to collect some financial topics that ordinary citizens like to read.
For example, the investment and financial planning of big stars, such as the unknown but very profitable resumption of business of some well-known rich people or their families, such as some grassroots entrepreneurs with little reputation, etc., have also aroused praise from some readers. Since some time ago, the media broke the news that the chairman and eldest son of the Kowloon Bank were seriously injured in a car accident and were hospitalized, a reporter from their Economic Daily has been staring at Lin Xiaozhi, a wealthy rebel known as the news maker in Hong Kong. After he discovered that many shareholders of the Kowloon Bank have been frequently in and out recently, he has been squatting near the Kowloon Bank Building, and it is even more coincidental that one of his neighbors happened to work in the bank, and as a result, he no longer worked hard, and after giving him a hard work, he finally pry a big news - "Lin Xiaozhi, the rebel son of a wealthy family, took over the Kowloon Bank and has been appointed as the new chairman of the company"
Aren't you at ease with me? I didn't have a lot of money for oil tea, I heard that the Kowloon Bank held a shareholders' meeting today, and Lin Xiaozhi entered the chairman's office as soon as he came out. After the car accident, there was no one in the Lin family, Lin Jili was too old to continue to manage the bank, and the impact of his involvement in the bribery case on the bank was not good, so it was reasonable for Lin Xiaozhi to come out and take over
Guan Jiaming thought for a while before nodding, "Okay, you did a good job." I'll wrap you a red envelope when I go back, by the way, you go back to the Kowloon Bank immediately, and find a way to take a few photos of Lin Xiaozhi for me in the afternoon, this news is estimated to be exposed in the past few days, maybe the "Hong Kong Economic Journal" is also paying attention to it, we strive to let it be published in the newspaper tomorrow, and the headlines on the front page will be it......"
He flicked the paper on his hand with satisfaction, Lin Xiaozhi has always been known as a news-making machine in Hong Kong, not only because he has often broken big news there in the past two years, but also for an important reason, that is, ordinary citizens also like to watch gossip news about him. A slap can't be slapped, but for this wealthy rebel, even Guan Jiaming himself admits that a gentleman with a bad reputation has become a business giant in only two years, compared with the long-established wealth elites such as Li Chaoren, regardless of the rise speed, age or topicality, Lin Xiaozhi is undoubtedly more in line with the gossip 'taste' of the small citizens.
Xu Fei yawned, "Mom, I'm going to work"
A head was exposed in the kitchen, and Xu's mother frowned dissatisfied: "I don't eat breakfast again......"
"Isn't this a late get......" Xu Fei replied with a little weakness, his mother obviously woke him up an hour ago, if he really got up at the time reminded by his mother, he would have eaten breakfast and was ready to go out now. But he was lazy as usual, and he rubbed in bed for a while before getting up, and after he had finished washing up in a hurry, he had no time for breakfast as usual.
"You kid......"
Seeing that his mother was going to nag again, Xu Fei hurriedly picked up the briefcase that he threw in the living room last night, waved his hand and said hello, "I went to work......"
quickly changed his shoes, quickly pushed open the door, and disappeared from his mother's field of vision.
"Hey, it's only 7:37, hu"
Trotting all the way to the bus stop, Xu Fei glanced at the time on his watch, he was catching a bus at 7:50 every day, and found that he had arrived a few minutes earlier than usual, so he wanted to buy a newspaper to read. It just so happened that there was one near the bus stop, so Xu Fei walked a few steps quickly and walked to the nearby newsstand, ready to buy a newspaper.
"Boss, there are new arrivals to "Oriental Daily" and "Next Magazine", do you want a copy?"
The newsstand owner was a bald man in his fifties, Xu Fei waved his hand when he heard the voice: "Is there a Hong Kong Economic Journal?"
As the newspaper with the largest circulation in Hong Kong, "Oriental Daily" has only appeared for a few months, but because this newspaper focuses on entertainment and gossip, and the content of the report is even more topical than that of "Oriental Daily", although it has not been around for long, it has completely gained a foothold in Hong Kong, and it is a good product for many citizens to pass the time. However, although Xu Fei is just a poor guy, he is not interested in celebrity gossip when he comes out of the economic major. Like many grassroots citizens, Xu Fei, who has the dream of getting rich overnight, usually speculates in stocks, futures, and loves to play Mark Six.
Young people, it is inevitable that some people have low eyes, and they like to let others know their differences like a peacock opening the screen, so Xu Fei usually buys newspapers and only buys "Hong Kong Economic Daily", as if he can read any business opportunities from it.
When the newsstand owner heard this, he pointed to a corner of the stall, "There is on the far right, next to the Hong Kong Economic Times......"
Xu didn't do a good job when he sorted it out before, and several copies of the "Hong Kong Economic Daily" were a little unkempt on the "Hong Kong Economic Daily", no wonder Xu Fei didn't find it when he read it. He thanked him and took out the money from his pocket to pay the bill, and walked over to get a copy of the latest Hong Kong Economic Journal to read in the car or even at the company
Because he was pressed below by the "Economic Daily", Xu Fei inevitably ran into the newspaper when he took it. He knows a lot about this newspaper, which was just born two years ago, but the professionalism is much worse than that of the "Hong Kong Economic Journal", and Xu Fei bought it a few times when it first came out, and then he never bought it again. was about to get a copy of the Hong Kong Economic Journal, when suddenly, Xu Fei's movements stopped, but he was attracted by a news in the "Hong Kong Economic Times" that was unintentionally spread.
"From the owner of a film company to the head of a bank. A new myth of wealth is on the rise"
Although Xu Fei prefers to read books and newspapers rather than movies, he also understands that the Hong Kong film industry is not as connected to banks as Europe and the United States, and he himself works in a trading company that often deals with banks, and he knows very well that many banks in Hong Kong are more favored to provide loans to real estate developers, and now it is difficult for even the manufacturing industry to get loans from banks, let alone banks.
Eighty percent is a gimmick
He quickly thought he had guessed the truth, picked up a copy of the "Hong Kong Economic Journal" and was about to leave, when he inadvertently swept the "Hong Kong Economic Daily" again, and suddenly three words made him stand still again and pick up the newspaper again.
"Lin Xiaozhi"
The three words in black font made Xu Fei stunned for a moment, and he immediately read it carefully. In today's Hong Kong, some people may not know the Governor of Hong Kong, but there are very few local Hong Kongers who do not know Lin Xiaozhi, a young man. In the past year, he has landed on the homepage of major media in Hong Kong or the homepage of the entertainment section as many as 78 times. He alone created more than 10,000 pieces of news a year, accounting for about a quarter of the total number of news created by the Hong Kong entertainment industry during the same period.
Almost every day, there is news about him in a newspaper or periodical. Under this kind of brutal propaganda that seems to be an invasion of the virus, it is no exaggeration to say that he has become the most famous person in the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry, and many people who like to watch news in the entertainment industry have even developed a habit of buying newspapers to see if there is any news about him in the newspaper.
Xu Fei was also forced to read a lot of news about him under this kind of propaganda, but he also remembered this name. In his opinion, the reason why this wealthy family can have today's achievements is due to the two million that Lin Jiannian gave him at the beginning, if Lin Xiaozhi did not use the money to invest in a blockbuster movie, even if he probably would not have him today.
Young people are always a little proud, and at first Xu Fei was very disdainful of this news-making machine. He studied economics until he privately assumed that he had obtained two million and then engaged in an investment plan, and found that whether he was investing in real estate, manufacturing or stocks and securities, it was difficult for him to create one-tenth of Lin Xiaozhi in the same time, or even turn two million into ten million, he admired this peer who was only three years older than him.
“…… According to this newspaper, the Kowloon Bank was hospitalized due to serious injuries sustained in a car accident by Chairman Lin Jiannian and his eldest son, and it is likely that it will not be able to continue to manage the bank's affairs
According to the news learned by this newspaper, Lin Jili, the former chairman and founder of the bank, personally attended and presided over the shareholders' meeting. Interestingly, Lin Xiaozhi, the second son of Lin Jiannian, who is the third generation of the Lin family, also attended the shareholders' meeting, and was suspected of entering the chairman's office after the meeting, or being ordered to take over the Kowloon Bank ......"
“…… This is not impossible, as the Lin family, as the shareholder of Kowloon Bank, has always had an absolute controlling stake in the bank, so it is naturally impossible to sit idly by and watch the management of the bank. Although Lin Xiaozhi, known as the rebel son of a wealthy family, has no experience in running a bank, in view of his amazing performance in the Asian film company in the past two years, and at the same time has Lin Jili to escort him. If the Lin family doesn't want others to interfere in the management of the bank, letting Lin Xiaozhi become the head of the bank is the only feasible plan at present......"
"Ahem"
Xu Fei was fascinated when he suddenly heard a cough beside him. When he looked up, he saw that the bald owner of the newsstand was staring at him unhappily, as if he had taken him for nothing. At the moment, he took out the money and stuffed it into his hand, paid the "Hong Kong Economic Journal", thought about it, and bought a copy of the "Hong Kong Economic Daily" that aroused his interest, and prepared to read it seriously after arriving at the company.
