143 Touching traps
Listening to Zhou Wenqiang's narration, Jin Yong gradually immersed himself in happiness.
From the suspicion at the beginning, to the inexplicable emotion, if it weren't for the phone line, Jin Yong would probably no longer be able to suppress the enthusiasm that was about to erupt, and he would hold Zhou Wenqiang's hand tightly. 'Brother, fate! ’
Jin Yong, who is still a young fox, is still very easy to be impressed, especially when he sees from this 'gambling agreement' that Zhou Wenqiang is a 'full of layman', he even blushes a little, feeling that he is too bullying?
Zhou Sheng, in the face of a field that you are not familiar with, you are too Meng Lang, which will definitely lead to your fiasco!
Take a look at the content of this agreement! Jin Yong squinted his eyes and couldn't help but laugh out loud many times......
Zhou Wenqiang will invest 15,000 Hong Kong dollars, and he only needs to invest 3,000 yuan, and within three months of the first three months of the newspaper's establishment, everything will be decided by him!
After two months, it will be decided depending on the outcome of the bet. The winning side will receive 60% of the shares, while the losing side will receive 40% of the shares, and the losing side must sign an 'exclusion clause' guaranteeing that they will not resell their shares or leave the newspaper for 10 years.
Although you can leave after 10 years, you still need to promise not to engage in any work in the same industry for 5 years, which means that the loser has to gamble on the next 15 years!
When he first saw the content of the agreement, Jin Yong was also a little repulsed in his heart, because according to this kind of clause, if he loses, he will have to 'work' for Zhou Wenqiang for at least ten years.
But when he saw the content of the bet, Jin Yong knew that his worries were completely unnecessary, and he guessed that no matter how powerful Zhou Wenqiang was, it was only in the rivers and lakes and in the newspaper circle...... I'm sorry Mr. Zhou, you're really just a primary school student.
What does it mean that the average daily sales of newspapers in the three months of the bet shall not be less than 5,000 copies? And within three months, the daily sales of the newspaper must be in the top 10 of Hong Kong Island newspaper sales more than three times, and the daily sales champion must be counted as a winner?
Zhou Sheng, you must think that it is very difficult to do this, right?
On the surface, it seems that this is indeed the case, and now there are many Hong Kong Island tabloids whose daily sales can exceed 3,000 copies and have to snicker, and it is simply an impossible task to rush to the top ten in daily sales and win a daily sales championship? But? That's just for those ordinary tabloids!
My name is Zha Liangyong!
Either I don't do it, as long as I am determined to make a newspaper? From the very beginning, it will be based on the newspaper route!
Daily sales of 5,000? As long as you have studied the situation of the newspaper industry on Hong Kong Island in the past year, you will know? Half a year ago, 5,000 sales may have been considered excellent, but today for a big newspaper? And that's just the basics!
I don't even have to throw out the weapon of serialization, and I can pull the average daily sales of the newspaper to more than 5,000 after a month? As for the top 10 in daily sales three times? What if you can't do it in three months? Check someone and never make a newspaper again!
Jin Yong is full of confidence in the first martial arts he has been thinking about for many days, and he believes that once this new school of martial arts that sweeps away the old martial arts and the plot drags on, it will definitely cause a sensation once it is published, and it will only be a daily sales champion? It's literally in his pocket!
This is the confidence of a generation of martial arts giants? In Jin Yong's view, this so-called 'gambling agreement' is completely something that Zhou Wenqiang, a layman, took for granted, as if it was tailor-made for him.
According to this gambling agreement, Zhou Wenqiang is a big wrongdoer, and he simply gave him a newspaper for nothing.
If he hesitates in the face of such a gambling agreement, Jin Yong will doubt his IQ.
"Zhou Sheng? Although this VAM agreement is too demanding for me, it actually needs to sell an average of 5,000 copies per day? It seems unfair to me to be in the top 10 of all newspapers on Hong Kong Island in terms of daily sales three times and win the daily sales championship once before I win? But who made me fall in love with Zhou Sheng? Even if I suffer a loss, I will agree. ”
Jin Yong sighed: "There is no way...... What if you really lose? I'll just be Zhou Sheng's worker. ”
Zhou Wenqiang smiled: "I knew that Mr. Cha would agree?" As Mr. said? We're destined. ”
"That's it, Mr. Cha, after I pass the 'Daoshan' challenge for my senior brother Ip Man, let's go to the lawyer's office together to ask a lawyer to witness and sign this VAM agreement, and other things such as the newspaper's articles of association and equity agreement will also be handled by the most professional people."
"After signing the agreement, my investment will be called as soon as possible, and before that, Mr. Cha can start to prepare all the matters for the establishment of the newspaper, you are an expert in this regard, so I don't have to worry about it. By the way, Mr. Cha, what should we call this newspaper? ”
Jin Yong didn't think about it and said: "It's called "Ming Pao". It not only has the meaning of enlightened Xuanhua, but also has the meaning that although the world is dark, I am only clear, what does Zhou Sheng think? ”
Obviously, this is the name he has long thought of.
Zhou Wenqiang smiled: "The name is good, that's it!" ”
"Great! Zhou Sheng, leave everything to me, An! ”
Jin Yong's eyebrows on the other side of the phone danced, and he swung his fist fiercely into the air.
At this moment, he felt that his whole body was full of strength, because from today onwards, he was going to work hard for 'his' newspaper!
As for Zhou Wenqiang...... Jin Yong never thought that he would lose, he couldn't lose to a layman, no matter what kind of tiger, Hades, and the lord of the walled city were this layman, and when he came to the newspaper field, he would all lose to him Zha Liangyong!
After ending the call with Jin Yong, Zhou Wenqiang immediately dialed the phone of Beiwang Company, and it was Lard Boy who answered the phone.
At present, Beiwang Company has recruited a lot of clerks, but Zhou Wenqiang has not yet found a suitable secretary, and he can only call the general manager's office if there is something.
"Ayou, I need a typist, and I need to type fast and have a low error rate. Plus help me buy a state-of-the-art typewriter and get it done as soon as possible. ”
"Okay boss, I'll do it right away!"
Lard Boy put down the phone, a little confused in his heart.
What does the boss want a typist and a typewriter for no reason? Beiwang doesn't seem to need typists for its current business, right?
Forget it, whatever, the boss will do what he explains, this is the value of the existence of a little person like me!
"Lao Jin is so sure, relying on nothing more than the book "Book of Swords and Enmity" that is still in the state of manuscript. This book is one of the masterpieces of new martial arts, but it can become popular because of 'no heroes in time', and it is not difficult to defeat it. ”
"The difficulty is which book should I choose to fight against "Book of Swords and Enmity"? You can't be too careless, and you can't kill chickens with a knife, but it's a lot of thought......"
If Jin Yong knew that Zhou Wenqiang's biggest distress was that there were too many good books in his head, he would probably vomit three liters of blood.
With Zhou Wenqiang's current grandmaster-level writing ability, he can definitely present these sensational masterpieces without any difference, and even add icing on the cake and sublimation, how can this be played?
***
To treat a literati like Jin Yong, you have to conquer him with better works, and to treat these martial artists of the Hong Kong and Kowloon National Arts Association, there is nothing else, and you can see the truth in your fists and feet.
As soon as Zhou Wenqiang's 'war sticker' was issued, the Hong Kong and Kowloon National Art Associations were all angered from Hong Zhennan down.
Wing Chun is so rampant!
If it is according to Ip Man's practice, first ask Baihemen Wu Zhong to contact the Hong Kong and Kowloon National Arts Association, and then Hong Zhennan will take the lead in convening the heads of various factions and the masters of the martial arts hall to set up 'Daoshan' to invite Ip Man, this is regarded as Ip Man's worship of the mountain, the National Arts Association is the master, and Ip Man is the guest.
can be posted by Zhou Wenqiang on his own initiative, and he will become the head of his various factions, then it is not a mountain hall, but a mountain gate and a kicking field, which has become his Zhou Wenqiang's anti-guest!
The difference is gone!
Moreover, Zhou Wenqiang took the initiative to challenge with the 'weaker' side, and the Hong Kong and Kowloon martial arts circles must take over, otherwise they will all lose face, and they will not have to eat in Hong Kong and Kowloon in the future, let alone open a martial arts gym, and changing careers to be a bodyguard will be questioned by the employer.
Is it tolerable or unbearable!
Zhou Wenqiang simply stabbed a hornet's nest.
So on the day of the challenge of "Daoshan", the first floor of the largest "Huachun Hall" restaurant on Da Nan Street was directly chartered by the Guoshu Association, in addition to the original Hong boxing, gossip, Dasheng split, and shape accident that appeared in the movie, there were also more than a dozen sects such as Tai Chi, Praying Mantis, Cai Li Fo, Wuzhi, Niujiao, and Rourou, basically the martial arts sects of Da Nan Street have arrived, and some boxing styles distributed in various districts of Hong Kong and Kowloon also came to participate in this grand event.
The feelings of the masters of all walks of life are very complicated.
They are also Jianghu people, of course, they have heard of Zhou Wenqiang's name, not only a big boss, but also a bad star, he did Shazhan at a young age, and as soon as he debuted, he eliminated several underworld bosses in a row, and even the Kowloon Walled City was taken care of by him, and his methods were fierce and eye-catching.
You say it's not good for you to be your bad guy and big boss? It's okay to learn what Wing Chun, and you have become Ip Man's junior brother?
However, Wing Chun is still a small boxer who has just come to Hong Kong Island, and it is a sect that is deeply discriminated against by them, and it has not even passed the 'Knife Mountain' challenge, and it is not currently eligible to officially open on Hong Kong Island!
Zhou Wenqiang made this play, in their opinion, it was simply stepping on the line, and there was nothing to do.
However, the name of the person and the shadow of the tree, after Zhou Wenqiang walked into the 'Huachun Hall', he rushed to the dozen or so heads present and hugged his fist: "Everyone, Wing Chun Zhou Wenqiang, I am here to teach today!" Everyone got up and saluted back.
This is not to give Wing Chun face, it really can't be provoked, especially a poor person like Zhou Wenqiang, who has a rank and can summon a dozen guns at any time.
Martial artists have always relied on kung fu to score up and down, and then talk about how to behave and prestige, and now the two masters of the Hong Kong and Kowloon National Arts Association are Hong Quan Grandmaster Hong Zhennan and White Crane Grandmaster Wu Zhong, who serve as the president and vice president respectively, and the two of them are only one line behind the peak grandmaster like Gong Er in terms of kung fu.
Hung Chun-nam is the president, and he opened his mouth first: "Haha, after taking the post, I learned that Wing Chun Zhou Wenqiang turned out to be Zhou Shazhan and Boss Zhou of Megatron Hong Kong Jiujiang Lake, but Hong is very strange, when did Zhou Shazhan join Wing Chun?" ”
"Don't get me wrong, Hung means that your joining of Wing Chun is just a recent thing, but your real identity is a bad person. Wing Chun wants to set up a pavilion on Hong Kong Island and challenge 'Knife Hill', why didn't Ip ask him to come? ”
The masters of all factions nodded one after another, and they all followed suit, "That's it, how can there be a reason for a senior brother to be alive but let a junior brother come forward?" Are you all in charge of Wing Chun? What a joke! ’
The national art world is also the ancient 'martial arts', and the rules are bigger than the sky.
The disciple can stand up for the elderly master at a critical moment, but the relationship between the master and brother is insurmountable.
That is to say, the master is old and the weather is decaying, so he can let the disciples come forward to deal with various challenges, after all, the fist is afraid of being young and strong, and there is no reason to let the white-haired master go into battle.
But if the senior brother is here, then it should be the senior brother who comes forward, unless you are the senior brother in charge!
Hong Zhennan knows that Zhou Wenqiang is not easy to mess with, the key is that there are officials, who among them who practice martial arts, who wants to provoke this kind of 'eagle claw grandson' for no reason?
And he also knew that Zhou Wenqiang had just joined Wing Chun to challenge the 'Knife Mountain', I was afraid that he had ill intentions, so he deliberately froze Zhou Wenqiang, gave him a soft nail to touch, and finally forced Ip Man to show up.
"Haha, President Hong's words don't make sense! Since I have walked into 'Wah Chun Tong' today, I am no longer a bad person, just a Wing Chun man! As for my senior brother Ip Man...... Chairman Hong is knowingly asking, right? ”
"Who doesn't know that my brother has only been on Hong Kong Island for a few months? When he was in Buddha Mountain before, he was persecuted by the Neon Army, and he had to go hungry every day and do heavy work, and later competed with the Neon General Miura, although he won, he was shot by the Neon Army! ”
"So far, my senior brother's body has not recovered, and gunshot wounds often occur, so let him challenge the 'Knife Mountain', does President Hong think it's fair?"
"Or is it that an anti-Japanese hero like my senior brother, even if his body is not healed, must risk failure to challenge, so that you can defeat him 'easily', so that he doesn't even have to eat?"
Hong Zhennan was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to refute for a while.
He didn't expect that Ip Man was still an anti-Japanese hero, this would be difficult, which of the people present did not hate the neon country? Ip Man has taken advantage of the national righteousness.
Sure enough, the masters of all factions nodded secretly, if Ye Man was really shot by the neon devil and his injuries did not heal, then Zhou Wenqiang would not be considered a broken rule to come forward on behalf of his senior brother.
Seeing this, Wu Zhong smiled and said, "President Hong, blame me for not explaining it in advance. That day, when I had a conversation with Ip Man behind closed doors, I found that although he was skilled in boxing, his breath was uneven, and later I also did an investigation, and what Zhou Shazhan said was indeed right, Ip Man fought against the Japanese and suffered gunshot wounds. ”
Hong Zhennan glanced at him, nodded and said, "In that case, Hong has nothing to say, Master Zhou, please come to the stage!" ”
"According to the rules of 'Daoshan', Master Zhou must stand on the table, accept the challenges of each faction one by one, insist that a pillar of incense does not fall under the stage, or knock the opponent down within that time, even if he passes, otherwise, the challenge will fail."
"Master Zhou, do you have any objections?"
Since he recognized that Zhou Wenqiang was qualified to represent Wing Chun, he no longer called Zhou Shazhan and Boss Zhou, but changed his name to Master Zhou, which means that from now on, everything will be in accordance with the rules of the national art world.
"No objections."
Zhou Wenqiang smiled slightly and walked towards the table step by step......
