Text Chapter 118, under the door
In his previous life, Ni Gongzi had the protection of his father, and he had those father's friends and Hong Kong literary predecessors to raise love, and Ni Gongzi could make a lot of money by using the relationship between these people, and he was prosperous in Hong Kong, and he also won the title of a little talent.
However, after 97, because he was afraid of being liquidated, Ni Frame went to Canada for refuge, and his influence in Hong Kong can almost be said to be zero, so his baby son's career in Hong Kong began to hit a wall everywhere, and in a few years, he not only ruined his family property but also owed a huge amount of foreign debt, forcing his almost 50-year-old wife to come back to support the family.
In order to support her family, she changed from a jade girl to a woman, and I have to say that Goddess Zhou's eyes when looking for men are really not good.

Regarding Lei Weidong's words, Li Rui smiled and didn't say anything.
Because of everything about Lei Weidong, Li Rui investigated very clearly and knew how much money Lei Weidong had now. The situation in the United States is not clear because it is too far away, but everything about Lei Weidong in Hong Kong is not a secret in the eyes of those wealthy families.
As long as you have money in Hong Kong, not to mention a literati like Ni Huan, even if you are a master of gold, it is nothing! Of course, because Master Jin's prestige in the Hong Kong literary circle is too high, his network is too wide, and he controls a big killer like "Ming Pao", everyone doesn't want to offend him, but Ni Frame, if he wants to destroy him, he can do it in minutes.
For Lei Weidong's ability to make money, even Li Rui, who was born in a wealthy family, has to admire, not to mention that the Xiaomi comics company, which has only been open for half a year, and now it can be said that it is making money every day, and the profit is far greater than that of his newspaper, you must know that his newspaper has been established for several years.
If it weren't for the familiarity with Lei Weidong, coupled with the fact that the comic book club is too professional in the industry, Li Rui would have wanted to use the power of his family to snatch the Xiaomi Comics Company.
Even if you can't grab it, at least you have to buy shares and share some cakes, and Li Rui believes that there are not a few people in Hong Kong who have such ideas, and in the eyes of those people, interests are everything, and there is nothing morally immoral.
It's just that after learning more about the operation of the Xiaomi Comics Company, those big guys who made up their minds didn't give up, because the way the Xiaomi Comics Company operates is completely different from that of ordinary companies, and it's not just a matter of taking the company over, and the professionalism in it is too strong.
The current Xiaomi Comics Company is completely supported by Lei Weidong alone, and all the copyrights of those classic comics are in Lei Weidong's hands, and the follow-up content of the comics is also drawn under the guidance of Lei Weidong.
It can be said that Xiaomi Comics Company is nothing without Lei Weidong, just a money-losing goods.
As for the shares, now Xiaomi Comics is not short of money at all, and even if you want to enter, you can't find an opportunity.
Of course, those bigwigs didn't think about starting a comic club by themselves, but the experience of other comic companies in Hong Kong poured cold water on those who wanted to take action, for example, Huang Yulang and Shangguan Xiaobao's companies didn't want to follow suit, and even sent people to Xiaomi Comics Company to poach people with high salaries, of course, they also poached a few people, after all, Lei Weidong can't give everyone a high salary.
But the strange thing is that although Huang Yulang and Shangguan Xiaobao imitated it, the newly published comics and "Beidou God Fist" and "City Hunter" have similar painting styles, or even exactly the same, even the characters are similar, but I don't know what's going on, how can I not catch up with the popularity of Xiaomi Comics' comics, and the content can't catch up with the hard injury, so many follow-up comics are all on the street without exception.
Not even a person who has been in the comic industry for more than ten years, let alone a layman.
Regarding this phenomenon, Lei Weidong can only say that there are too few outstanding talents in the Hong Kong comics industry, of course, it is also related to the population base, Lei Weidong's comics are another time and space Japanese outstanding comics, and they are classic comics in the 20th century, not to mention that the current cartoonists in the Hong Kong comics industry can follow the trend of their own ideas, even if there are not many comics in later generations that can surpass these classics.
After all, these are all selected from tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of comic works, and only one Hong Kong can find a counterpart, Lei Weidong can only say that these people look down on the comic industry too much.
Since it is not profitable to rob the company, it is better to be friends than to rob the company. Sometimes Li Rui really wanted to open Lei Weidong's mind to see what was contained in it that could have so many wonderful ideas.
Of course, Li Rui couldn't have imagined that Lei Weidong was just copying the ideas of those genius cartoonists, if it was just that he himself was estimated to be better than Li Rui.
Regarding the idea of those wealthy tycoons in Hong Kong to fight themselves, although Lei Weidong's current ability cannot be observed, he has already thought of it.
Hong Kong is a small city but full of wealthy families, and through marriage, every family has a certain relationship. A huge network of relationships has been formed, and it can be said that except for the British, almost all those profitable trades are monopolized, and it is extremely difficult for outsiders to get in.
With Lei Weidong's more than 30 years of experience, in fact, you can find many places to make money in Hong Kong, such as the agent of BB machines, major brands such as clocks and watches, jewelry and other agents, but although Lei Weidong can use the advantage of entering the market first to make a fortune, but Lei Weidong can't keep his company, and there is no scum left that will be swallowed by those predators and giants.
Only in such a highly professional industry as comics and novels can Lei Weidong develop, and after accumulating enough wealth and power, can he enter the entertainment, real estate and other industries, and will not be destroyed by others when he is young.

In 1977, Hong Kong's martial arts novel market could be said to be very lively. Not to mention the "Xingchen Daily" supported by Lei Weidong alone, let's just say that the novel editions of "Ming Pao", "Oriental Daily", "Hong Kong Commercial Daily", "Ta Kung Pao", "Cheng Pao" and other old newspapers have also been revised, not only serializing the works of martial arts masters, but also beginning to dig out the works of newcomers.
Hong Kong's martial arts novel market seems to have regained its vitality all of a sudden!
You must know that from the early 70s, when Jin Yong sealed his pen, the number of active martial arts novelists in Hong Kong began to be scarce. During the same period, Taiwan's martial arts novels were looked down upon by Hong Kong novelists because of their mixed nature and low quality.
However, by the late 70s, there were very few famous martial arts novelists in Hong Kong. In Taiwan, there are hundreds of authors who make a living by writing martial arts novels, among which Gurung's novels are the most popular.
Because of the lack of martial arts novels in Hong Kong, I really can't find a newspaper with good works, so I can only go to bend and introduce it, and Gurung, who is the most famous, naturally enters the field of vision of major newspapers.
As Gurung's works became famous in the Hong Kong market, Taiwanese writers began to land in Hong Kong and make a lot of money in Hong Kong.
Because of the high prices in Hong Kong, ordinary writers can't even eat enough to eat and live by writing novels, resulting in a declining number of new generation writers. Under the impact of Taiwan's hard-working writers, local writers began to become more and more rare.
Of course, the main reason for the decline of Hong Kong martial arts is because Jin Yong's novels are too classic, as mentioned earlier, Master Jin's "Flying Snow Shoots White Deer in the Sky, Laughing Books and Heroes Lean on Bi Yuan" These fourteen martial arts works that have been compiled into two lines of poetry by later generations can be said to have written all the things and plots that can happen in the martial arts world, and have become classics of martial arts novels.
After Jin Yong, others write martial arts, no matter how they write, they can't get out of the category of Master Jin, and if they want to surpass Jin Yong in pure martial arts, they can't even be pulled too far.
Therefore, when the martial arts novels of those new authors are written, the audience can find that there are similarities with Master Jin's works, and the two are a big difference between the two, of course, they are the goods that hit the street.
Not to mention that there are millions of authors in the era of online literature in later generations, and there is no one who can surpass Jin Yong in pure martial arts, at most it is close.
is such a talented person as Master Huang, at the beginning of writing martial arts, he kept hitting the streets, and he was forced to switch to writing fantasy, and he became an instant hit. It can be seen how powerful Master Jin is in the martial arts world.
It can be said that in the original history, from the time when Master Jin sealed his pen to the appearance of Master Huang, in Hong Kong, in addition to Gurung's martial arts novels, that is, Ni Frame's soft science fiction adventure novels were popular. This also caused the reason why Ni Frame's status in the Hong Kong literary world was second only to Master Jin.
However, with the publication of Lei Weidong's two novels "Xun Qin" and "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", the situation of Hong Kong martial arts novels began to reverse!
In the past, martial arts authors were all spinning around in the martial arts category, thinking about how to exert their imagination in martial arts and rivers and lakes, and the old-fashioned style of vendetta in the rivers and lakes has Master Jin's works in front, which has made everyone tired of watching it, but later martial arts authors are still wandering around here, and they just can't turn out.
