"Bang!" The ashtray wrapped in anger eventually cracked apart when it touched the ground.

"What the hell is going on? The newspaper did well last month, why did the sales plummeted this month, from the initial 240,000 copies, to now it has fallen below 200,000 copies, who will tell me why? Ma Ruxi angrily knocked his cane, and glanced at the company managers with a cold light. The Ma brothers have always been well-known in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Ma Ruxi nicknamed "White Powder Horse" known as the underground commander of Southeast Asia, and his younger brother Ma Zhenxi nicknamed "Golden Horse" and the underworld brother "Lame Hao" Wu Xihao, who was arrested last year, are also known as the three major Teochew gang white powder tycoons.

And the big Malaysia and the second horse are divided into two seats, which can be imagined as dangerous, not to mention, his family is also known as the four "gangster families" in Xiangjiang, which can be described as monstrous.

At this time, the management of the "Oriental Daily" present was silent, and they did not dare to breathe.

There are only two horses, Ma Zhenxi crossed Erlang's legs and watched his eldest brother go crazy.

"Horses... Mr. Ma, seeing that no one spoke, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper had to step forward and say: "Mr. Ma, a new newspaper has recently been published on Hong Kong Island, and the momentum is very strong, not only our "Oriental Daily", but also "Sing Tao Daily" and "Ming Pao" and most other newspapers have been affected by it. As far as I know, the sales of our Oriental Daily have dropped by nearly 50,000 copies, Sing Tao Daily has nearly 30,000 copies, and Ming Pao has about 10,000 copies. The editor-in-chief of "Oriental Daily" originally wanted to explain to Ma Ruxi that this time it was not only the sales of "Oriental Daily" that declined.

But Ma Ruxi's eyes were even more gloomy, and he shouted: "Why is our "Oriental Daily" the worst, with a drop of 50,000 copies? ”

The editor-in-chief can't wait to give himself two big mouths. I originally wanted to make my peers miserable, but I forgot that I was the worst one, looking at Ma Ruxi's gloomy face, the editor-in-chief showed a look that was more ugly than crying and said: "Mr. Ma, the specific reason is still under investigation, and we will come up with a way to deal with it as soon as possible to increase newspaper sales." ”

"Humph!" Ma Ruxi snorted coldly, he didn't know much about running a newspaper, but he had a lot of money, he wanted money to give money, he wanted people to give people, and the company was run by these people, and he also knew that he couldn't force these people too hard. Today, he suddenly learned that the newspaper's sales plummeted, which made him angry, and he lost his temper.

"Hmm! Editor-in-Chief Liu, didn't you just say that the recent launch of a new newspaper on Hong Kong Island has gained momentum, and not only the sales of our "Oriental Daily" have been frustrated, but also several other newspapers have been affected? At this moment, the second horse Ma Zhenxi interjected.

"This," Editor-in-Chief Liu hesitated for a moment before saying: "There is a newspaper called "Dongxing Daily", which has exceeded 100,000 sales in just half a month, and the momentum is very strong. ”

"Oh? Even Editor-in-Chief Liu is in trouble? At this time, Ma Zhenxi was a little curious, how could this editor-in-chief Liu take the "Oriental Daily" to press the characters of "Sing Tao Daily" and "Ming Pao", how could he not know how to deal with it.

Hearing Ma Zhenxi's words, Editor-in-Chief Liu couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Mr. Ma is laughing, Liu is also a person!" ”

As he spoke, Editor-in-Chief Liu glanced at a subordinate beside him, and saw that the man took a newspaper and handed it to the two brothers, Ma Zhenxi and Ma Ruxi. Then the voice of Editor-in-Chief Liu came, "This is the newspaper, the two Mr. Ma will take a look first." ”

Ma Zhenxi and Ma Ruxi both glanced at each other, and then looked at the newspaper in their hands curiously, and the two of them frowned sometimes and nodded sometimes.

After a while, the two closed the newspaper, and Ma Zhenxi said: "Yes, the content of this newspaper is very good, and I think their layout seems to have been greatly changed, which is very different from the layout of our newspaper. ”

"Mr. Ma is worthy of being a torch," Editor-in-Chief Liu said after patting a sycophant, "This is where we are embarrassed." ”

A group of other people who have read "Dongxing Daily" can't help but roll their eyes, those things can be seen by blind people, but none of them are in disobedience, after all, it is Boss Ma who shoots, and no matter how indulgent it is, you have to listen to it.

And Ma Zhenxi smiled, waved his hand and said modestly: "Actually, it's nothing rare." Then he asked, but where is the difficulty? ”

"The people in our distribution department have gone outside to investigate, and many young people think that the layout of "Dongxing Daily" is very good, and most of the elderly people think that it doesn't matter, as long as there is content, there are still some who are not used to it."

"What do you mean?" Ma Zhenxi asked.

"Our people won't be able to analyze what makes this newspaper so appealing." Editor-in-chief Liu said truthfully.

But at this time, Ma Ruxi, who had been pondering, spoke: "Editor-in-chief Liu, I think the layout of this newspaper is quite good, can we copy it and use it?" ”

"This?" Editor-in-Chief Liu hesitated for a moment and then refused: "Mr. Ma, our current layout has been used for so many years, and it is too risky to replace it rashly, so it is better for us to wait and see how other newspapers respond." ”

Nodding, Ma Ruxi didn't have a stubborn request, after all, he was just a layman.

It's just that sometimes the world is so unpredictable, the so-called bystanders are clear, and the authorities are confused.

The same meeting was also held in the conference room of another "Sing Tao Daily", and the topic of discussion was about the decline in sales and the "East Star Daily", compared to the Ma brothers, the owner of "Sing Tao Daily" Hu Xian knew that the "East Star Daily" was earlier, after all, last week, Ni Frame's sky-high remuneration of 500 words was still in a uproar, and she had heard about it, but she didn't take it seriously, and a small newspaper that had never even heard of its name was not worthy of her attention.

It's just that when Hu Xian heard the name "Dongxing Daily" for the second time, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

In just half a month, the sales of more than 100,000 copies are shocked, you must know that it has been 40 years since "Sing Tao Daily" was founded by her father to achieve sales of about 200,000 copies, Xiao Tang's amazing performance can't help but be shocked.

And after the shock, she actually didn't have any next move, you must know that the boat is easy to turn around, and newspaper leaders like "Ming Pao", "Oriental Daily" and "Sing Tao Daily", they are not easy to change at will, unless their boss has the courage to survive and the vision of the future like Xiao Tang.

Obviously, however, the three leading newspapers in Hong Kong have been surprisingly consistent in their treatment of the "Eastern Star Daily" this time, and they are all based on the four principles of non-interference, non-resistance, non-interference, and non-forgiveness.

They are all watching, obviously to see him rise up the tall building, and see him collapse.

However, no one knows whether Xiao Tang really built a tall building and whether the building will collapse.

At this time, Xiao Tang himself, who had gradually entered the eyes of newspaper predators, did not know that at this time, he was nostalgic for walking on the rural road of Tiaojingling.

The scenery of the past few days is just right, the thin clouds cling to the blue sky, the hillsides are stacked with green and green, thin like silk, occasionally there will be a piece of green grass crowded on the side of the mountain road, the breeze blows through the grass, regardless of you and me.

This is Tiu Keng Ling, a small village left behind outside the bustling city, and a dilapidated household guarding poverty.

From far and near, the low adobe houses are full of nostalgia for history, and the heart is soaked.

If Xiao Tang returns to the 70s, what does he want to do most? That is to take a look at the Motherland in the seventies.

But at this moment, a banner of blue sky and white sun jumped into the eye, which made Xiao Tang feel stagnant even breathing, and a tasteless feeling came to his heart, and he always felt that there was something shortcoming.

Maybe you're used to seeing a pentagram, who knows!

……

"Aunt Zhang, I saw Tang Tsai coming back, just walking around your door? Why don't you go back and see? ”

"Really?"

"You don't believe me, go back and see."

"Good!"

As soon as Xiao Tang's mother Zhang Wanhua heard that her son was back, she was immediately overjoyed and put down the work in the field, and she didn't care about cleaning up, so she hurried home. It's just that what makes Zhang Wanhua cry and laugh is that she just got home and found that her stupid son didn't know what to eat, and several boys were crying around him.

"Grab the child's food, you're so close." Zhang Wanhua came behind Xiao Tang and said helplessly.

"Grandma!" When Xiao Tang saw that his mother was back, he also stopped bullying the children, and inserted the lollipop in his hand into the mouth of the little boy who cried the most.

He can be regarded as a thief and the king first.

Then he took his mother's shoulders and returned home.

For Xiao Tang, who has been together for more than half a year and has no worries in his previous life, he also respects his mother while enjoying family affection, a woman who pulls her children up by herself.

"Mommy, it's him, robbed my cousin of the candy she gave me, I originally kept it and planned to eat it later, but he robbed it...... Woo~" The child's voice was full of grievances.

And Xiao Tang, who had not yet entered the house at this time, turned his head and smiled a little embarrassedly, he forgot that children would not resist, but he would sue.

"Yo, Tang Tsai is back?" The child's mother obviously knew Xiao Tang, and when she saw that it was Xiao Tang who came back, she immediately asked enthusiastically. For a while, Xiao Tang was embarrassed, and hurriedly responded, "Yes, Aunt Zhao!" ”

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back! I happen to have something to talk to you about with your mother. The middle-aged woman who was called Aunt Zhao by Xiao Tang not only did not fight for her son, but dragged her somewhat unhappy son to Xiao Tang's house.

That enthusiastic look made Xiao Tang a little confused, and he glanced at his mother suspiciously, and found that the other party was also smiling. The inexplicable Xiao Tang chuckled in his heart, always feeling that something big was about to happen.

Xiao Tang, who was in a trance, followed his mother into the house and found a seat to sit down anxiously, while Xiao Tang's mother Zhang Wanhua and Aunt Zhao sat down on the edge of the wooden bed. Xiao Tang's home is now very simple. There is no kitchen either, and there is only one mother living in the room, and Xiao Tang has lived in the wooden bed in the living room before, but fortunately, it is okay and has a place to stay.

The little cub will snuggle up in his mother's arms and stare at Xiao Tang with an angry face, obviously what happened before, Xiao Tang offended the little guy ruthlessly, and he will still hold a grudge!

"Tang Zai, here's the thing, I have a niece~"

"Cough, cough, cough......." Xiao Tang almost coughed out his mulberry eyes with a dry cough, and hurriedly got up and got a scoop of cold water, "Tons!" Ton! Ton! He drank it, and his brain was also racing, thinking about what he should do in this situation.

But the result of dual-mindedness is that when I drink water, I choke.

"This decrepit boy!" Xiao Tang's mother looked at her son's contrived appearance, and immediately said unhappily: "Come over quickly after drinking." Obviously, Xiao's mother had known about this for a long time and was still very happy, so she urged.

"Oh, good!" Xiao Tang replied helplessly, then sat back again, glared at the little boy who grimaced at him.

Listening, Aunt Zhao continued: "My niece has often come to my house as a guest for half a year, and people say that they like you very much, I don't know if you have any impression." ”

Xiao Tang shook his head, he had a ghost impression, in the past half a year, he was busy writing books, just reading books, not to mention others, except for his mother, he didn't remember anyone.

"You kid," Aunt Zhao sighed, and then said, "It's really a good life, my niece's family is very good,"

"Grandma, I owe two million outside." Xiao Tang didn't wait for Aunt Zhao to finish speaking, and Xiao Tang said to his mother.

Xiao Tang's mother's face suddenly changed greatly, and Aunt Zhao, who was going to introduce Xiao Tang to how good her niece was, also had a dry throat, and she didn't say anything for a long time, and finally pinched her son, and the little boy cried in pain, so he got up and muttered: "You decrepit boy cries every day, cries every day, people want to talk about a serious matter, and you don't stop." ”

Then Aunt Zhao left Xiao Tang's house with her son in her arms. Seeing this, Xiao Tang sighed regretfully, if the other party was really Bai Fumei, then he would lie flat, but it was a pity that he thought too much.

Shao leaned, a girl's sob, faintly coming from next door, full of heartbreak and helplessness.

"Nannan, my aunt told you before, this kid has been messing around outside, and he doesn't have any big skills, so you have to listen."

"Auntie, I'm gone, and I'll never come again."

The girl's voice was extremely sad, obviously a beautiful love had not yet been weaved, but it went to the grave again, somewhat sad.

"You decrepit boy, how can you owe so much money after only going out for a month! How long will it take us to pay back all this money? Xiao Tang obviously didn't know how heavy the pressure of two million was on a woman who relied on frugality to pull her children up.

At this time, the mother was completely at a loss, and her eyes were a little red.

Obviously, this number is a number that can completely crush this small family.

Xiao Tang also owes his mouth, which will have to be explained again and again, and it took a long time to coax him to get his mother's ideological work done.

"You mean you run a newspaper?" Although Xiao Tang explained for a long time

But Zhang Wanhua still doesn't quite understand the twists and turns that her son said, but she also understands one thing, that is, her son went out for a month to set up a newspaper.

But in the next second, Zhang Wanhua muttered in her heart, what level is her son, she knows best as a mother, she didn't finish elementary school, she is a good hand at carrying bags at the dock, and she has a lot of strength, but he never expected his son to be capable of doing things, so he said with some doubts: "Tang Zai, my mother knows that you have studied diligently for half a year, but can you really do this in the newspaper?" You old bean went to middle school before, and he didn't go to work on the docks in the end. Mom knows that you are angry, but this is too risky, listen to Mom, let's quit, sell the newspaper, and pay back the money. ”

Xiao Tang stroked his forehead, it seems that his mother has a deep definition of his former self, and he has thought about the road, but he can actually understand his mother's caution, after all, this small family can't withstand the wind and rain, and his mother always hopes that her child will grow up safely, as for getting ahead, she has never thought about it, and she doesn't dare to think about it.

It was precisely because he understood this that Xiao Tang felt even more helpless, but Xiao Tang still patiently explained: "Grandma, this is the thing, when I was in Central, there was a foreigner, and he liked me very much......"

"Male, female?" Mother interrupted suddenly.

Xiao Tang's mind couldn't keep up with the rhythm for a while, and he was stunned for a long time before he couldn't cry or laugh: "It's an old man with eagle sauce, a capitalist, what do you want to do?" Grandma? ”

Xiao Tang had a headache now, and he found that his mother was not calm at all.

"Oh, it's a ghost! What does he like about you? ”

Mother Zhang Wanhua asked a little suspiciously.

Shrugging his shoulders, Xiao Tang said with a somewhat arrogant expression: "He likes to open a company with me, the money for my newspaper is all from him, in fact, I don't take any risks, and after the newspaper company is completed, I will have half of the benefits!" Xiao Tang said half-truthfully. I just wanted to comfort my mother, but I didn't expect Zhang Wanhua to really believe it, and asked with some surprise: "Is the Eagle Sauce ghost so stupid?" It doesn't feel clever at all, and it's not as good as a British ghost. ”

Xiao Tang rolled his eyes and explained, "Yes! It's just not very clever, the Eagle Sauce Ghost is a descendant of the English ghost, and that clever energy is inherited when it is inherited. ”

However, Xiao Tang was thinking at this time, George Russell, that white old man, let alone clever, is about to be smart.

However, these Xiao Tang are just slandering, the world of capital is all gambling, you bet on me to lose, I bet on you to lose, or we bet on them to lose.

Xiao Tang stayed at home for a day, ate a few good meals and dishes, and left early the next morning, but when he left, he left 10,000 Hong Kong dollars for his mother at home for the family.
