Chapter 42: Serialized Columns
On the day of the end of the Macau New Garden Swimming Pool Ring Competition, the total amount of charity fundraising was 750,000 patacas, and the first donation was Mr. Ho Yin, who was known as the King of Macau, and the second place was the China Hong Kong Daily.
The day after the news broke, newspapers and media in Hong Kong and Macao published news one after another.
The mainstream newspapers, led by Ta Kung Pao and Wen Wei Po, took the lead in speaking out, publishing all the details of yesterday's martial arts contest on the front page of the newspapers, including photos and articles, and at the end of the article, they did not forget to praise the China Hong Kong Daily and its boss Su Jingxian, praising him for being young and promising, doing charitable things, and being the leader of the future generation.
Rao is Su Jingxian is thick-skinned over the city wall, and after reading these reports, he is also a little impressive, and at the same time he can't help but sigh, after all, it is a mainstream newspaper, and without worrying about sales and word of mouth, he also praises his competitors and has the style of a big newspaper.
At a time when other newspapers in Hong Kong were making a big fuss about the Macau martial arts competition, the China Hong Kong Daily News of the same day was also distributed, and the headlines on the front page made readers' eyes shine.
In addition to a brief introduction to yesterday's martial arts competition and advocating support for charity, China Hong Kong Daily also published an advertisement on the front page.
"Since the end of the boxing match between Sun and Zheng yesterday, people from Hong Kong and Macao have been talking about it, and the streets and alleys are full of boxing scriptures, which is really a blessing for the martial arts community. In order to increase readers' interest and promote Chinese martial arts, this newspaper will open a serial column in separate pages from today to publish Mr. Su Jingxian's martial arts novel "The Legend of the Heroes of the Ming Dynasty." The novel is based on Zhu Yuanzhang's rise to establish the Ming Dynasty as the background, narrating the grievances and hatreds of various gangs and factions and various characters on the rivers and lakes, as well as national righteousness and Chinese integrity, and the story is wonderful and tense, please read the ......"
After the news came out, aside from the readers' discussions, the newspaper and periodical industries in Hong Kong and Macao were all interested in this advertisement, and the editors who have been engaged in the newspaper industry for many years know that newspaper serialization is not in a recession now, and even if a bestseller like Sherlock Holmes is put on the newspaper, the response is mediocre.
Because the content of the first issue of the novel in the serial column of China Hong Kong Daily did not explain too much of the plot, and there was nothing surprising in the eyes of senior editors in the newspaper industry, although it was strange in his heart, he didn't care about it, but Su Jingxian was too young after all, and after becoming famous, he wrote stories in his own newspaper to play, so he didn't follow the trend.
However, in fact, this is exactly what Su Jingxian wants to see the most, and it is precisely because he is worried that newspapers will follow suit, so he deliberately lowered the storytelling of the previous issues of the novel serialization and threw out smoke bombs.
Su Jingxian knows how popular the new martial arts will be in later generations Su Jingxian knows that he does not have the writing of those martial arts masters, and he is far from the knowledge and storytelling, so he only hopes that fewer people will follow the trend now, and it is best not to attract the attention of other newspapers.
Sitting in the detective's office, Su Jingxian looked at the new review that had just been written, and shook his head after reading through it.
Sometimes he is quite envious of the protagonist of the traversal text that he occasionally reads in later generations, with his excellent memory, he can put Liang Gu Jinwen's works on paper in the original form, and he is also a lover of martial arts novels, how can he pick up the pen and write something that is more and more unpleasant to the eye?
But fortunately, there are several text editors in China Hong Kong Daily, and there will be someone to polish the novel when it is published and serialized, which makes him worry a lot.
"Brother Xian, I'll pick you up at eight o'clock tonight, good seafood restaurant, I'll invite Brother Xian to eat money spots and big flower dragons!" After coming out of the police station at the end of the afternoon, Lin Zhiyong raised his eyebrows and squeezed his eyes in front of Su Jingxian, and his voice was arrogant.
Su Jingxian glanced at him curiously, raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you upset when you buy a horse?" ”
Lin Zhiyong grinned and said: "I won't make a lot of money this time, I will pay two months' salary to buy Master Sun and Master Zheng to make peace, and the killing of one shop will be ten times, nearly six thousand yuan!" ”
He is considered an insider of the Macau martial arts competition, before the start of the martial arts police station, he already knew that Su Jingxian set an undefeated draw for the two martial arts masters, and on the day of the boxing match, although Lin Zhiyong did not enter the stadium to watch, he found a legal casino in Macau early in the morning, bet 600 yuan to buy a draw, and made a lot of money.
After listening to Lin Zhiyong's glorious deeds, Su Jingxian's face was a little strange, and he paused before smiling: "You are bold, although I let the two masters not distinguish the winner in the ring, but the result depends on the judging team, and people have a winning point to calculate!" Otherwise, I, the boss, would not know to bet heavily? Even if you are so lucky this time, the most important thing is to be down-to-earth, and you will have less dreams of making a fortune in the future! ”
"Then ...... tonight" Lin Zhiyong was in a good mood after making money, and he didn't care at all about Su Jingxian's words, and planned to continue to invite him to dinner.
Su Jingxian didn't wait for him to finish speaking, waved his hand, saw that the sun was about to set, and said, "I haven't been home for a few days, I'm going to go home today to see, reschedule!" ”
Lin Zhiyong smiled: "Okay, then Brother Xian, you go slowly, next time I will invite you to a big meal." ”
After saying goodbye to Lin Zhiyong, Su Jingxian called a rickshaw and rushed home, sitting in the car and thinking of Lin Zhiyong's complacent appearance, Su Jingxian felt unhappy for a while.
I'll pounce on your mother's Macau Street Casino! I was ready to bet heavily on the tie and make a windfall, but who knew that the casino didn't give me a chance at all, and it was easy to find out that I was one of the organizers, and I was politely invited off the table just after I got on the table.
However, how could Su Jingxian, who had to pluck out his roots even when the geese flew over, give up easily? You can't gamble yourself, but you can ask someone else to help you bet.
When he returned home, he saw his younger brother Su Jingliang, Su Jingxian was full of smiles, and his younger brother Su Jingliang smiled when he saw him come back.
"Hey, how much did you buy?" Su Jingxian walked into the house, sat on a chair and picked up the oranges in the fruit bowl, and asked Su Jingliang while peeling them.
The younger brother Su Jingliang pulled over a chair and sat opposite Su Jingxian, rubbed his hands and said, "Five thousand yuan to buy peace, won forty-two!" ”
Su Jingxian frowned, put an orange in his mouth, and said strangely: "Didn't I give you 10,000 yuan?" ”
"Big guy, if you bet more than 5,000, you have to check your identity, you don't think that the fake documents you took from the police station can fool those casino bosses, right?" Su Jingliang rolled his eyes and complained, "The rice shop at home has been doing it for so many years to save enough tens of thousands of yuan, are you content?" ”
Su Jingxian smiled and threw half an orange in his hand to his younger brother: "Please eat, where is the money?" ”
The younger brother Su Jingliang took the orange and put it on the table, and pointed to the back room: "It's all for Grandma, didn't you take money from your family to run a newspaper last time?" Just make up that number. ”
Su Jingxian pretended to exaggerate and made a noise, got up and walked to the room where his parents lived in the inner room: "I took 30,000 yuan from my family, and I paid back 42,000 yuan in less than half a year. ”
