After trying to clear his mind by himself, Zhang Zhonghua picked up another document brought by Zhang Long and read it.

This document shows the newspaper companies that the whole of Hong Kong Island intends to sell and sell, and there are currently six newspaper companies on Hong Kong Island ready to sell.

However, five of these six newspapers are small newspapers with employees and bosses who add up to less than 20 people, and they usually have these gossip and Fengyue, but they can't even write gossip news and Fengyue, and they can even hit the street, which shows how rotten the newspaper is!

Another point is that this kind of tabloid does not conform to Zhang Zhonghua's own identity of the Jade Emperor Group in terms of temperament and heritage.

Zhang Zhonghua looked at the name of the newspaper that was most ready to be sold, "Overseas Chinese Daily"?

What is this Overseas Chinese Daily?

Zhang Zhonghua tried hard to recall for a long time, but he didn't have the slightest impression, it should have fallen later, and he didn't last until the moment before Zhang Zhonghua crossed.

In fact, what Zhang Zhonghua didn't know was that "Overseas Chinese Daily" used to be very powerful and brilliant.

In 1991, "Overseas Chinese Daily" was acquired by "South China Morning Post", in 1994 it was taken over by Xiang Shuhui, and in 1995, "Overseas Chinese Daily" ceased publication.

"Overseas Chinese Daily" used to be the longest-lived newspaper on Hong Kong Island, and it can even be traced back to the earliest Chinese newspaper "Zhongwai Xinbao".

Then Zhang Zhonghua looked at the detailed information of "Overseas Chinese Daily", and then he knew that this newspaper was not simple at all, the predecessor of "Overseas Chinese Daily" was the "Hong Kong Island Chinese Entrepreneurs Association Newspaper" owned by the Hong Kong Island Chinese Entrepreneurs Association, and the predecessor of the "Hong Kong Island Chinese Entrepreneurs Association Newspaper" was the first Chinese daily newspaper on Hong Kong Island, "Zhongwai Xinbao".

This historical heritage and origin are deep enough, and together they have a history of more than 100 years, and it is a pity that it is now in decline, but it is just right to borrow Zhang Zhonghua's hand to let it be reborn.

The former owner of "Overseas Chinese Daily", Cen Weixiu, is also a very famous person in the Hong Kong Island territory, he has served as a Justice of the Peace on Hong Kong Island, the president of the Hong Kong Island Society for the Protection of Children, the chairman of the Hong Kong Island Newspaper Union, and the director of the New Asia College of the Hong Kong Island Chinese University, etc., and won the OBE and CBE titles issued by the Queen of England.

In 1914, at the age of 17, he was recommended to work as a clerk at the South China Morning Post on Hong Kong Island, which was run by the British.

He worked at the South China Morning Post for 10 years, and not only accumulated experience in running a newspaper, but also developed an interest in running a newspaper.

In 1925, Cen Weixiu acquired the property rights of the Hong Kong Island Chinese Entrepreneurs Association Newspaper, and on June 5 of the same year, he founded the "Overseas Chinese Daily" and served as the general manager.

After World War II, "Overseas Chinese Daily", "Industrial and Commercial Daily" and "***" became the most important newspapers on Hong Kong Island at that time, and then under the influence of the cultural and educational circles, "Overseas Chinese Daily" could not keep up with the development of the times, and was later replaced by "Ming Pao" and "***".

In 1965, at the age of 69, Cen Weixiu sold the Overseas Chinese Daily to Liu Siqi, a real estate businessman, and Cen Weixiu devoted more energy to public welfare.

However, Liu Siqi, the current owner of "Overseas Chinese Daily", suffered financial difficulties in the real estate industry, so he had to sell the "Overseas Chinese Daily" with poor profitability to tide over the difficulties.

Zhang Zhonghua was really speechless when he saw the experience of "Overseas Chinese Daily" in the past few years, and after World War II, the newspaper also sold well in Southeast Asia, and Overseas Chinese Daily had also established branches in Southeast Asia before.

It's a pity that Liu Siqi has a good hand, but the result is a mess, most of the industries in Southeast Asia were sold by Liu Siqi, leaving only a headquarters on Hong Kong Island, and its employees are now less than 100 people.

Over the years, "Overseas Chinese Daily" has gradually declined from a top media newspaper with a daily sales volume of more than 100,000 copies, and now it has become a second-rate small newspaper, with an average daily sales of more than 10,000 copies.

[In view of the general environment,

The sales income of 10,000 copies a day is about 1,500 Hong Kong dollars, and if you deduct printing and labor costs, the profit for a day is only five or six hundred Hong Kong dollars.

"Overseas Chinese Daily" for those big newspapers

Yu Ji's ribs, others don't look down on "Overseas Chinese Daily", Zhang Zhonghua is ecstatic because he likes it very much, "Overseas Chinese Daily" is a sweet and sweet in Zhang Zhonghua's eyes.

First of all, the "Overseas Chinese Daily" has a long history, its predecessor can be traced back to the previously mentioned "Zhongwai Xinbao", the source is founded by Ting Fang in 1858, 110 years of newspaper history is the originator of the Hong Kong Island newspaper, although the "Overseas Chinese Daily" has lost its heritage, but the name of the first Chinese newspaper on Hong Kong Island is still quite weighty.

Secondly, "Overseas Chinese Daily" used to be one of the three major newspaper giants on Hong Kong Island, and although the previous channels were broken a lot, "Overseas Chinese Daily" now has many previous channels in Southeast Asia, and the channel assistance of HORT convenience stores can open the market faster.

In addition, the "Overseas Chinese Daily" newspaper itself has a printing house, although those broken machines Zhang Zhonghua is not rare, but the land is still good, and the Jade Emperor Printing Company can also be transferred from Chai Wan to Kowloon, which also frees up a lot of vacant space for the central kitchen of the Jade Emperor.

Finally, there are still those employees of "Overseas Chinese Daily", these employees Zhang Zhonghua values it very much, these people have experienced the glorious period of "Overseas Chinese Daily", even if "Overseas Chinese Daily" has not left here, this obsession in their hearts is very important, they look forward to "Overseas Chinese Daily" can create more brilliance, as long as Zhang Zhonghua gives them a chance, he will definitely give Zhang Zhonghua a surprise.

Part of the reason for the decline of Huaqiao Daily from a top newspaper to a second-rate tabloid is that Ming Pao has a monopoly on most literary writers, and the company has not transformed in time, which has little to do with employees.

In the end, the failure of "Overseas Chinese Daily" is due to the inability of the newspaper at the helm, and if it does not have the vision to keep pace with the times, it will be eliminated by the times sooner or later, and the vision of the newspaper boss determines the upper limit of the newspaper's development.

Zhang Zhonghua is particularly satisfied with the "Overseas Chinese Daily", and it is enough for Zhang Zhonghua to have a ready-made factory and talents, and the printing technology of the newspaper is a piece of cake for the Jade Emperor Printing Company.

The pad paper of the CFC restaurant has long been handed over to the Jade Emperor Printing Company to print, using the most advanced computer technology and the most advanced printing equipment, and the employees have already used the CAD software.

As for newspaper typesetting, isn't it a joke for Zhang Zhonghua, not to mention those domestic newspapers, Zhang Zhonghua has also read a lot of foreign newspapers, and it is enough to attract attention if you can use typesetting that is 20 years ahead.

Of course, there is a lot of harm to changing the newspaper from vertical to horizontal, because people are used to reading vertical newspapers, and once they read horizontal newspapers, it may be difficult for everyone to accept.

It can only be forced to accept it slowly, and it is impossible for the newspaper to grow by leaps and bounds all at once, and everything is a gradual process.

Thinking about the "Jade Emperor Daily" under the Jade Emperor Group, it is still a little excited, and the resistance and difficulties for others are not difficult at all for Zhang Zhonghua and his Jade Emperor Group.

You can serialize the "Tomb Robbery Notes" he wrote first, it is easier for other writers, and Zhang Zhonghua's fame in the world is much more awesome than Jin Yong, Liang Yusheng, and Gu Long.

And Zhang Zhonghua is not only a well-known writer, but also the richest man in Yanxia, how about giving the richest man a face?

After deciding to acquire the "Overseas Chinese Daily", Zhang Zhonghua led his security personnel to the headquarters of the "Overseas Chinese Daily" in Kowloon.

"Boss, Liu Siqi's personal information has also been inquired clearly.

In the 40s, the old man of the Liu family, who was Liu Siqi's father, was still good in Hong Kong Island, and there were also many factory plots in Kowloon, which was considered prominent.

In 58, Mr. Liu officially entered the real estate field, and he also made a windfall at that time, but he died soon after.

Liu Siqi immediately took over the family business, and then vigorously entered the real estate field, but unfortunately the real estate market on Hong Kong Island was declining at that time, so he bought the "Overseas Chinese Daily" to advertise his real estate company through the newspaper.

But in the past few years, the market has not improved and is constantly selling the industry, Liu Siqi has a little big stall in the past few years, although the real estate market has improved now, but he is a little unable to make ends meet.

If we don't do it this time, "Overseas Chinese Daily" will go bankrupt."

Zhang Zhonghua couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly when he listened to Zhang Long's narration.

Unexpectedly, another one was trapped because of real estate speculation, and then he remembered the predecessor of the Jade Emperor Bank, also because of this.

In the first few years, I went crazy in real estate speculation, and after making a fortune, I wanted to make more.

It's a pity, yes, the ideal is very plump, but it's a pity that the reality is too skinny, and in the end I also cheated myself.

However, the real estate market will soon improve, this wave has survived, and he will be able to become a tycoon in the past, and he will probably not have this person on Hong Kong Island anymore, this Liu Siqi is quite decisive, in order to maintain the real estate company's continuous sale of its industry, I hope he can survive it.

Just when Zhang Zhonghua and others were rushing towards the headquarters of "Overseas Chinese Daily", Liu Siqi, who was located in the office of the headquarters of "Overseas Chinese Daily", was anxiously waiting.

This time, someone finally came to ask about the "Overseas Chinese Daily", this time it must be sold, as long as it is sold, I will be saved.

Liu Siqi kept praying in his heart that he was not a straw bag, but the turmoil came too fast, so fast that he didn't react, and he could see that the real estate industry was about to take off, as long as he could take over the newspaper, he could wait until the day when the real estate industry took off.

Liu Siqi is also helpless now, originally bought the "Overseas Chinese Daily" and counted on advertising to help sell the company's house, who would have thought that various things have been going on in the past few years, and housing prices have been falling, and now it is just a bit of a trend to rise.

In recent years, the newspaper industry "Ming Pao" and "Wen Wei Po" have made rapid progress, but unfortunately no one has come to submit articles after many recruitment of writers, and newspapers and real estate companies are also half-dead.

The current "Overseas Chinese Daily" is a chicken rib, tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it.

But fortunately, last night the newspaper employee told him that someone made an appointment to buy "Overseas Chinese Daily", and thinking that someone from the newspaper would take over, Liu Siqi was excited and didn't sleep all night.

Liu Siqi stood in front of the three-story building of the newspaper office and waited anxiously, it would not be to release his own pigeons.

In Liu Siqi's constant anxious waiting, several cars stopped at the door of the newspaper office, and a few people got out of the car, and Liu Siqi recognized Zhang Zhonghua, the richest man in the middle of the hot summer, in one night.

Seeing Zhang Zhonghua walking towards the building, Liu Siqi almost dropped his jaw in shock, this is the richest man in Yanxia who came to buy the newspaper, this time the matter is settled, and he hurriedly rushed downstairs to greet him.

"Zhang Sheng, welcome to "Overseas Chinese Daily", it is an honor to meet you, please come in."

Liu Siqi, who ran downstairs quickly, grabbed Zhang Zhonghua's hand and said excitedly.

"Hello Liu Sheng, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for a long time today."

Zhang Zhonghua followed Liu Siqi to the conference room, and the newspaper caused quite a stir.

The girl at the front desk saw that Zhang Zhonghua accidentally spilled the water cup on the table, this is Zhang Sheng is coming to buy "Overseas Chinese Daily", are we going to become an employee of the Jade Emperor Group? The benefits of the Jade Emperor Group and the year-end bonus or something, do I want to have it too?

Su Shiya hurriedly took out the good tea collected by the boss, brewed a few cups and sent them to the conference room, then gently closed the door and walked out, and then waited for the good news.

"Zhang Sheng, the basic situation of our "Overseas Chinese Daily" is estimated that you have already understood, now the company has a total of about 120 employees, there is a 50-acre printing factory in Jiulongtang, and there is a small building in this building, the location is ......."

Although he knew that Zhang Zhonghua had fully understood the situation of the newspaper, Liu Siqi still briefly introduced the details of the newspaper to Zhang Zhonghua.

Now the newspaper office is more valuable than the factory land and equipment, and then there is the three-story independent building where Zhang Zhonghua and the others are located.

"I don't know what the price in Wang Sheng's heart is?"

Zhang Zhonghua didn't go around in circles, and asked Liu Siqi straight to the point.

"The land and building of the newspaper's printing factory are now worth about 3 million yuan, and the printing equipment and raw materials are worth about 400,000 Hong Kong dollars

Yes, it's about 1 million, and the newspaper itself is about 400,000, totaling about 4.8 million Hong Kong dollars."

Liu Siqi thought for a while and said with some apprehension.

The quotation did not surprise Zhang Zhonghua, Liu Siqi's offer of 4.8 million yuan is about the same as the approximate valuation of the Jade Emperor Group, and it seems that he does not mean to kill himself, it seems that he is really in a hurry.

"Yes, this price is very fair, when will you be able to handle the handover."

Zhang Zhonghua asked.

Although according to the estimation of the Jade Emperor Group, it can still negotiate two or three hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars, but Zhang Zhonghua saw that Liu Siqi's attitude was very good, so he did not waste that time, and directly agreed to Liu Siqi's offer.

"You can transfer the account at any time on my side, and the newspaper is still very simple."

Liu Siqi saw that Zhang Zhonghua was not talking nonsense, and immediately said to Zhang Zhonghua excitedly.
