Chapter 377
When the "Overseas Chinese Daily" was first acquired, it did not attract much attention from Hong Kong Island, and there was no major movement, and the newspaper was still in circulation.
Zhang Zhonghua is more pleased that there are no employees under the newspaper and no one chooses to leave, and all the staff of the editorial department also go to the Jade Emperor Printing Company to learn new technologies, and they have great interest and enthusiasm for the Wubi input method.
After three days of calm, the latest issue of "Overseas Chinese Daily", which is also the suspension issue of "Overseas Chinese Daily", was finally released, and this suspension issue officially announced the end of the historical mission of "Overseas Chinese Daily".
In order to commemorate the day when the Overseas Chinese Daily was suspended, Zhang Zhonghua also wrote a special statement for the suspension of the "Overseas Chinese Daily".
On this morning, many loyal users of "Overseas Chinese Daily" got the latest issue of "Overseas Chinese Daily" and saw the eye-catching headline in the center of the newspaper for the first time, which was "More than 110 years of helping each other in the same boat, grateful for being with you all the way".
Since 1858, Mr. Wu Tingfang, a famous diplomat and jurist in the late Qing Dynasty, founded the "Zhongwai Xinbao" on Hong Kong Island, which ended the situation that there was Chinese no newspaper on Hong Kong Island and became the first real Chinese newspaper in history......
On November 22, 1913, the Hong Kong Island Chinese Entrepreneurs Association was officially established. In order to safeguard the rights and interests of Chinese businessmen, participate in social welfare, and strengthen the ties between Hong Kong Island and the mainland, the Hong Kong Island Chinese Entrepreneurs Association has been recognized by the Hong Kong government since the day it was established.
After 45 years of development, the first Chinese newspaper on Hong Kong Island, Zhongwai Xinbao, ceased publication, and the Hong Kong Island Chinese Entrepreneurs Association Newspaper was launched......
On June 5, 1925, Mr. Shum Weixiu acquired the "Hong Kong Island Chinese Entrepreneurs Association Newspaper" and founded the current "Overseas Chinese Daily".
In the mid-20s, the "Overseas Chinese Daily" sprung up and successively formed a huge newspaper group on Hong Kong Island, Macao, Guangzhou, and other places......
After World War II, Overseas Chinese Daily, Industrial and Commercial Daily, and Sing Tao Daily became the most important newspapers on Hong Kong Island at that time......
Today, it has been 45 years since the founding of "Overseas Chinese Daily", and today, with the last morning, "Overseas Chinese Daily" will also say goodbye to you.
Since the founding of the "Sino-foreign New Newspaper" in 1858, and then the "Hong Kong Island Chinese Entrepreneurs Association", the "Overseas Chinese Daily" has also gone through 45 spring and autumn periods.

After reading the suspension of the "Overseas Chinese Daily", many loyal readers were full of emotion, and the first Chinese newspaper on Hong Kong Island ended its mission again this year after several twists and turns.
Especially some older grandfathers and grandmothers, their hearts are even more lost, "Overseas Chinese Daily" has accompanied me for 45 years, almost my entire life, and now it is time to say goodbye.
From "Sino-foreign News" to "Hong Kong Island Chinese Entrepreneurs Association Daily" and then to "Overseas Chinese Daily", it has been more than 110 years along the way, even though "Overseas Chinese Daily" is now completely declining, from the Big Three to a second-rate tabloid.
However, its position in the newspaper industry on Hong Kong Island is still unshakable, and no one can deprive it of its contribution to the industrial and commercial circles and the press circles on Hong Kong Island.
After reading the suspension of the publication, a group of readers of "Overseas Chinese Daily" then looked at the other half of the newspaper, but the big headline on it almost blinded everyone's eyes, and it was "Jade Emperor Daily wholeheartedly welcomes you to join".
"Sino-foreign News", "Hong Kong Island Chinese Entrepreneurs Association Newspaper" and "Overseas Chinese Daily" have served us Hong Kong Island citizens for more than 110 years, and have accompanied us through countless springs, autumns and autumns, with happiness and sorrow......

Countless readers of "Overseas Chinese Daily" have not finished their sadness when they see the shocking news, and their heads are a little down for a while.
The Jade Emperor Group's acquisition of "Overseas Chinese Daily" to enter the media field, and it is also a global recruitment, countless people are shocked that "Jade Emperor Daily" is looking forward to it.
……
"Sixth, "Overseas Chinese Daily" is also going to be suspended, hurry up and buy a copy of the newspaper to collect."
"No, why did the "Overseas Chinese Daily" suddenly stop publication, but I have been reading the "Hong Kong Island Chinese Entrepreneurs Association Daily" since I read it, and the current "Overseas Chinese Daily" has also been reading it for more than 40 years."
"Alas, the newspapers on Hong Kong Island are now serialized, and those writers are proud to publish in Ming Pao, and young people nowadays rarely read these old newspapers.
Sales are not making ends meet, and the newspaper is in dire straits, so it is not surprising that sooner or later there will be such a day. ”
"Alas, it's a pity that "Overseas Chinese Daily" was so popular back then, and now it has reached the point of stopping publication, it's really a matter of fact."

Kowloon, Ming Pao Newspaper.
Shen Baoxin hurriedly walked into Jin Yong's office with a copy of the suspension issue of "Overseas Chinese Daily", and saw that his old friend was writing "The Story of Deer and Ding" on the paper.
Shen Baoxin sat opposite Jin Yong, picked up the teapot and poured himself a glass of water, then drank it all, threw the suspension number of "Overseas Chinese Daily" to Jin Yong and said: "Something is wrong!"
! ”
"What's wrong with Baoxin, what's wrong? Rush you like this? ”
Jin Yong put down the pen with a smile and asked, he hadn't seen his old friend so anxious for a long time.
Shen Baoxin pointed to the "Overseas Chinese Daily" on the table and motioned Jin Yong to read it himself, he believed that Jin Yong would definitely not be able to laugh after reading it, this is a real opponent who is much more powerful than Sing Tao Newspaper.
Zhang Sheng wrote science fiction and swept the world before he became famous, and he wrote a romance book that swept East Asia in order to promote the LFC restaurant, and now it should not be difficult to enter the newspaper industry and write an excellent one.
Jin Yong saw the title "More than 110 years in the same boat, grateful to have you by your side all the way" was very emotional, Hong Kong Island newspapers do not know how many will be closed down every year, how many will be established, and I feel a little sorry after reading ten lines at a glance.
Then I saw another page headline "Jade Emperor Daily welcomes you to join", and then I understood what my old friend meant, this is Zhang Sheng of the Jade Emperor Group who wants to enter the newspaper field.
Jin Yong was really a little undecided this time, he didn't feel this way when he founded the "Oriental Daily" by the white-faced Ma family, but this time it was really a wolf.
"At the beginning of the year, the white-faced Ma family entered the newspaper industry and established the "Oriental Daily", and now there is another "Jade Emperor Daily", and the newspaper circles on Hong Kong Island are really going to be lively this time."
Jin Yong said with a wry smile.
"The white-faced Ma family's "Oriental Daily" doesn't have to worry, they don't think they can run a newspaper well, and even if they can run it well, it won't be too much of a threat to us.
But Zhang Sheng's "Jade Emperor Daily" is a strong competitor, or we will now increase the remuneration to 1000 words, our remuneration is really low, continue to use such a low remuneration I am afraid that many writers will jump to the "Jade Emperor Daily" and contribute to the "Jade Emperor Daily". ”
Shen Baoxin said worriedly.
"100 words is a bit high, let's raise it to 40 Hong Kong dollars for 1,000 words, and if Zhang Sheng wants to dig up the author, it's useless for us to raise it to 100 words per 1,000 words, who can compete with Zhang Sheng in Hong Kong Island for financial resources? Let's come and cover the water and cover the earth. ”
"No, Zhang Sheng shouldn't look down on the profits and fame of the newspaper, I think it should be these newspapers on Hong Kong Island that make Zhang Sheng unhappy, so he entered the newspaper industry."
"Well, Zhang Sheng is a very low-key person, he doesn't like to appear in front of the media, and he doesn't want to expose the strength of the Jade Emperor Group too much, but now the Hong Kong Island newspaper pays too much attention to him, and even Zhang Sheng can occupy the front page headlines for several days when he returns from the ugly country.
In the future, Ming Pao will also reduce the reporting of Zhang Sheng and the Jade Emperor Group, and I am really afraid that Zhang Sheng will collapse all the competitors by lifting the table. ”
Jin Yong smiled bitterly.
"Is that an exaggeration? It shouldn't be broken, right? ”
Shen Bao News was shocked.
"How could it not be? Zhang Sheng is not short of this money, it really makes him anxious, and directly "Jade Emperor Daily" is distributed for free, not to mention other newspapers, even our Ming Pao is difficult to hold. ”
Shen Baoxin took a deep breath when he heard his old friend's words, if it was really free, those tabloids with a circulation of less than 10,000 copies would all go out of business, and he shuddered a little when he thought about it.
……
Central, Sing Tao Newspapers.
Hu Xian looked at the newspaper handed over by the assistant, he was going to come after all, but he didn't expect Zhang Sheng to enter the newspaper field so early.
A newspaper is only two millimeters, and the monthly income of the newspaper may not be as profitable as Zhang Sheng's selling a set of software, this is a hard meal, why do you bother.
"Boss, Zhang Sheng's "Jade Emperor Daily" has the biggest impact on us, and Zhang Sheng's global media channels are much stronger than ours. Moreover, Zhang Sheng is a well-known writer himself, so it is easy to attract some writers to write. ”
】
The assistant said.
"That's not all, the real horror of Jade Emperor Daily is the strong sales channels, ART convenience stores all over Hong Kong Island, Japan and European countries, some countless stores.
Nowadays, many people on Hong Kong Island buy breakfast and Chinese food at Homemart convenience stores, and it is convenient to buy a newspaper after buying breakfast and Chinese food, and there is no need to go through the sales channels of traditional newspapers. ”
Hu Xian said helplessly.
The assistant felt even cooler after hearing this, and it didn't take up much space to put a newspaper rack next to the cash register, and there were not a few people who ate CFC and convenience store breakfast in the morning, and sometimes they would eat some good stew and deal with it casually.
"If our employees change jobs, there is no company that can compare with the benefits of the Jade Emperor Group, and our employees estimate that many of them will have to jump to the Jade Emperor Daily."
"There are so many newspapers on Hong Kong Island, not only our Sing Tao family, but also many people who want to change jobs, as well as "Ta Kung Pao", "Wen Wei Po", and "Ming Pao".
Hu Xian said.
"It's a real wolf this time." The assistant said depressedly.
"When I went to sign Zhang Sheng, Zhang Sheng clearly said that he wanted to enter the newspaper industry, and I was really a little worried about it in the past few years, and I couldn't hide from it, but now that I really came, it was much easier."
Hu Xian said with a wry smile
……
Kowloon, Oriental Newspaper.
Ma Xiru and Ma Xizhen looked at the "Overseas Chinese Daily" in front of them, thinking that the "Oriental Daily" founded at the beginning of the year has sold less than 5,000 copies so far, and there is no harm if there is no comparison.
"This time, the entry of "Jade Emperor Daily" into the newspaper industry is really a beast in troubled waters, and with the intervention of the Jade Emperor Group, the exhibition of our Oriental Daily is even more difficult."
"Then let's play fair, our Oriental Daily is in the top five on Hong Kong Island, this newspaper is too important to us."
Ma Xiru said with emotion.
The two brothers all smiled bitterly, although the two of them were awesome on the road, they didn't dare to provoke Zhang Sheng, not to mention how terrifying the security company of the Jade Emperor Group was, just Zhang Sheng's junior brothers could suppress the entire underground world of Hong Kong Island.
At the beginning, the people who beat Zhang Zhonghua and the Lou family's idea on the road were all found and reclaimed, and there were many lone wolves and bandits from Southeast Asia, and they were sent to the sky with people and ships by bazooka before they arrived on Hong Kong Island.
And the security company of the Jade Emperor Group is even more terrifying, not to mention the association, even if it is the Hong Kong and British garrison, they can touch it, and the key is that it is legal.
"We have set up a betting station on the periphery of the Macau dog racing rink, and now there are more and more people betting on dogs, so I will spend money to hire a famous person to write the dog scripture, and the sales of newspapers can also rise to a higher level."
Ma Xizhen said.
"You can do it, your mind is more flexible than me, you can take care of the newspaper. We have also raised the remuneration to 100 words per 1,000 words, so we don't believe that those poor literati are not moved, and the Jade Emperor Daily does not accept their manuscripts, can we accept them in Oriental Daily. ”
Ma Xiru said with a smile, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show contempt.
"No problem, with the Jade Emperor Daily in front, it will be much easier for us to pick up leaks."
