028: I kill a hundred flowers after the flowers bloom
Early the next morning, a piece of news about the "Dongxing Daily" exploded throughout Xiangjiang, and the "Dongxing Daily" maintained a total circulation of more than 300,000 copies for two consecutive days.
As soon as this news was revealed, the entire Xiangjiang press was shocked, and then the business and political circles, as well as the entertainment industry, all looked sideways and cast curious eyes.
It's just that what makes people even more shocking is the second piece of information disclosed by this newspaper.
"In view of the fact that 46 relevant Chinese newspapers in Hong Kong have infringed on the "East Star Daily", do not think of innovation, and only care about stealing the fruits of other people's labor, causing great harm to the development of the "East Star Daily", our company filed an appeal application to the Kowloon Court." As soon as this news came out, Xiangjiang was a sensation, and such a big melon almost made people unbearable.
In the Ming Pao building, when Kim Yong received the court summons, it was in the afternoon, and he and Ni Frame were discussing the serialization of "Hair".
It's just that when he got the legal documents handed over by Shen Baoxin, he almost laughed angrily, he didn't expect that he would be sued by a hairy boy one day.
But after calming down, Jin Yong asked Shen Baoxin, "Baoxin, what's going on?" ”
Shen Baoxin smiled bitterly: "Liangyong, that kid sued us for infringing on the right of independent creation, and I heard that the legal team has been formed, and it doesn't look like he will give up!" ”
"Won't give up? Do they think I don't know the law? Jin Yong was rarely angry, obviously the defendant was very faceless, he was also a figure with a head and face in Xiangjiang, the newspaper has been open for so many years, and he has not had a lawsuit! This is the only one of the scorpion poops.
"I remember that their newspaper office is still copying other people's mainland!" Jin Yong remembers that the horizontal layout of newspapers was first invented in the mainland.
Shen Baoxin shook his head and said: "It's not this, people didn't sue us for text layout, but the layout innovation was infringed." ”
Jin Yong hesitated and asked for two copies of the newspaper in Shen Baoxin's hand, one "Dongxing Daily" and one "Ming Pao" Xiangjiang has a habit of following the trend in recent years.
His face was a little ugly, Jin Yong glanced at Ni Frame, and then said to Shen Baoxin in a deep voice: "Baoxin, do you say that this "Dongxing Daily" is not retaliating because we dug up Ni Frame." ”
"It's not!" Shen Baoxin said categorically: "If you look at the lower right corner of that newspaper, they sued forty-six companies at one time, and they didn't let go of any of them, whether they were leftists or rightists. ”
Jin Yong was stunned, glanced at the place of Shen Baoxin's finger, his face became very strange, but he was speculating in his heart about what this "Dongxing Daily" wanted to do?
At the same time, in the administrative building of the headquarters of the "Oriental Daily", Ma Ruxi did not get angry this time, but the entire conference room was silent, even if the editor-in-chief Liu, who dared to say a few words in the past, also pretended to be an ostrich at this time and did not dare to breathe, the boss has been on fire these days, but the affairs of the newspaper have repeatedly arched the fire to the boss, and I heard the secretary say that the boss's gums are swollen.
Ma Ruxi sat in the top position expressionlessly, and the other newspaper executives all looked down at their shoes, they all knew that this was the calm before the storm, the boss's identity was special, and he was very sensitive to things like court summonses, and he didn't know which one dared to touch the boss's beard.
"Hehe......" Ma Ruxi, who was originally expressionless, smiled coldly, and frightened a few timid people in the conference room.
"It seems that there are still a lot of stunned people in Xiangjiang," Ma Ruxi seems to have changed his personality today, and his voice is a little flat, not as irritable as in the past.
"Boss, do you want me to check on the situation?" A young man in a leather jacket walked out of a corner of the office. He was still playing with a three-inch-long butterfly knife in his hand, and his posture was lazy, but his voice was not warm at all, and when the executives of the newspaper saw this person, they felt that the temperature of the entire conference room had dropped a little.
Liu Jin only knew that this young man's name was "Little Knife" and he was Boss Ma's bodyguard, and the butterfly knife in his hand was very sharp...... Usually three or five people don't even blink an eye.
Ma Ruxi watched his subordinates come out, and he didn't hide it, and said directly: "Go and ask him to measure how deep the water is in Victoria Harbor, and I don't want to see this newspaper office anymore - in Xiangjiang!" ”
Ma Ruxi said in a leisurely voice.
stretched out his hand, and a little brother hurriedly put a cigar on the eldest brother, and Ma Ruxi took a few puffs before comfortably spitting out a smoke ring.
With the summons of the court and the order to stop the infringement and rectify the publication, the Xiangjiang newspaper world was in turmoil in one day.
The "East Star Daily" directly sued the entire newspaper circle, causing dozens of Chinese newspapers to suspend publication, and even Hong Kong Governor MacLehose was alarmed by the rumors, and specially met with the person in charge of the Kowloon Court to inquire about the situation.
And on this day, the name "Dongxing Daily" was well known to most people who did not know the newspaper.
It can only be said that the incident is too sensational, and there has been no similar incident in Xiangjiang since the British system, but the image of "Dongxing Daily" as an enemy of the world is still formed, some are sarcastic, some are surprised, and some are lively.
However, Xiao Tang didn't care too much about this, he just explained to Chang Zheng, he has been low-key recently, and he has asked about the progress of some Zhang Yi, Xiao Tang actually didn't want to offend the Xiangjiang newspaper to death, but just wanted to take advantage of the chaos to get out of the encirclement.
It was also the first time that he had risked his life for money.
In a café in Central, Hong Kong Island.
"Good coffee, George!" Xiao Tang smiled and looked at George Russell, the president of Da Mo Asia in front of him.
"You're crazy too, David, you're the craziest young man I've ever met," George Russell still looked at Xiao Tang opposite him in some shock, and in order to communicate with the ghost Xiao Tang also gave himself an English name, David Xiao.
Xiao Tang smiled helplessly, "I've tried my best, and now there may be many people who want to eat my meat raw." ”
"Do you need security? I can put you in touch," George Russell said.
Shaking his head with a smile, Xiao Tang said, "No need, I hope you can do me a favor,"
"Tell me!" Russell Road.
I need a safe house to house my family.
Xiao Tang said, Russell smiled: "This is very easy to do, I also know some friends on Hong Kong Island, this can help you do it, how about the hilltop villa, I can find a way to help you rent a set." ”
"Thank you!" Xiao Tang nodded.
"Do you have any plans for the company next? You seem to have offended a lot of people this time. ”
"Hehe......" Xiao Tang smiled faintly and said: "There is no one who should not be offended in business, if you are afraid of offending people, don't do business." ”
"As for the company's next step, I want to strengthen the business first, and then take the opportunity to buy a few newspapers in Southeast Asian countries, and list in Heung Kong under the name of an international media company, what do you think?"
Russell nodded and smiled, "That's a good idea, David." You are a very good partner, and Da Mo will always support you. ”
Xiao Tang smiled, he didn't take the other party's words to heart, there was no benefit, he didn't believe that Da Mo would always support him. However, the two sides have a common goal, and it doesn't hurt to go all the way.
But at the end, Xiao Tang said: "And these days, I hope that Da Mo can play the role of an investor, escort this company, and mobilize your connections, as long as it lasts until this time, I am sure that Xiangjiang "Dongxing Daily" will be invincible again, otherwise all our efforts will be burned, and everyone will double output the game." ”
Russell's face was straight, he heard Xiao Tang's threat, but the other party said the truth, if Da Mo can't keep the "Dongxing Daily", then there will be no point in the two sides cooperating, and it is a good partner to carry things together, otherwise why would I play with you.
Russell also had nothing to say about Xiao Tang's behavior of making a mess, so he could only pinch his nose and admit it, only hoping that Xiao Tang could fulfill his promise after this incident and bring "Dongxing Daily" to a higher peak.
As a large investment bank with a history of more than 100 years, Da Mo still has influence, in the political and business circles. Today's Xiao Tang is no longer the teenager who begged people everywhere with a planning book and was ridiculed as a neurotic.
For such a long time, he has proved his worth, and he has also been really valued by Da Mo A figure who shuffles the Xiangjiang newspaper in thirty days, Da Mo will not necessarily meet a second one in another hundred years.
This is a chess player, decisive in killing, never looking forward or backward, Russell also saw Xiao Tang's thoughts, Xiao Tang needs a butt wipeer, he rushes to kill in front, and Da Mo cleans up the battlefield in the back.
All for the sake of profit.
In fact, right now,
George Russell, I'm glad he chased out HSBC in the first place.
gave this young man a chance, but also gave Da Mo a chance, with this successful investment case, Da Mo will also have a firm foothold in Xiangjiang.
Helping "Dongxing Daily" get through the difficulties is also showing his ability in disguise, although Da Mo is very famous in the beautiful country, but it has not yet reached the point where everyone knows it in Xiangjiang.
They also need to have the opportunity to show their abilities to other entrepreneurs and attract more people to cooperate.
And now here's your chance!
