Lin Zhichao sat in the office of the Media Building and called two direct subordinates in turn.

"Boss"

The first to come in was Luo Wenhui, the president of Oriental Daily.

Lin Zhichao nodded and said: "The content of the supplement of "Oriental Daily" needs to be purified, the atmosphere of the dog and horse is too heavy, and sooner or later it will have a serious impact on our reputation. It just so happens that our sales have exceeded 100,000 copies, and we are only one step away from the number one selling newspaper, so you organize a meeting of the management and editor-in-chief of the newspaper to determine the degree of purification. ”

Luo Wenhui nodded, and then said with a wry smile: "Everyone is indeed getting more and more biased, comparing "Oriental Daily" to a Shaw Brothers movie, and moving towards commercialization to the extreme, I immediately convened everyone to discuss related issues, and completed the purification of the supplement as soon as possible." ”

The first feature of Shaw Brothers' films is commercialization, and the second feature is the belief that 'men and women eat and drink'. When Shao Lao Liu reviews the script, he often writes similar words: "Add a bed scene here" and "Make it linger". He supervised the filming on the set, and often gave instructions like this: "Clothes are thinner" and "Change into a transparent silk shirt".

At the beginning of "Oriental Daily", there were also violent and pornographic news that often appeared, because a lot of time-sensitive news was to catch this kind of news. This purification is a supplement, which is a more serious place, so it is disliked by Tang Caiyun, after all, it is a little lost to the Lin family.

But then again, Lin Zhichao does not have a position in "Oriental Daily", and everyone thinks that this is a matter done by Luo Wenhui, Dai Pingshu and others.

Lin Zhichao said with satisfaction: "Purifying the supplement is a necessary process for development. Overall, we were in a hurry at first, so we planted a lot of mines. I believe that if we purify it a little bit, the sales of newspapers will definitely increase instead of falling. The core of "Oriental Daily" is always - to know the world without going out, that is, the timeliness news. ”

Luo Wenhui said: "Okay! We have more than 150 news gathering staff (reporters), which is the largest of all newspapers in Hong Kong, and we will definitely continue to maintain this aspect. ”

Lin Zhichao thought for a moment and said: "In the current environment, continuing to increase the cost of journalists is somewhat increased. In this way, you can consider making full use of the citizen contribution system to increase the breadth of the news. For example, if you publish it in a newspaper and provide a news material, how much money you can get after being hired by us. It's like JC's informant. ”

Luo Wenhui's eyes lit up and said: "The boss's proposal is good, and we will immediately organize the formulation of strategies in this regard." ”

Lin Zhichao nodded, there is nothing clever about this matter, it's just that Luo Wenhui is more suitable to be his subordinate.

"In addition to running a newspaper, I hope you can read more and learn more about European and American magazines, and maybe we will also dabble in magazines in the future."

"Okay, I see!"

When Hong Kong's economy picked up, it was probably the 70s that magazine publishing would have to be launched, to build a print media empire, and to have some right to speak.

As for the future, to be honest, by the time it was time to take sides, the print media had almost fallen; What's more, the third generation of Lin Zhichao's family has stood at the forefront, so what does it matter!

The huge family system has already taken root in countries around the world, and there is no risk.

After Luo Wenhui left, Li Ziduo came to the office after a while.

Formerly a manager and technician at a toy company, Li Ziduo has turned around as an administrator, mainly in charge of printing houses and publishing houses.

After all these years of hard work, Lin Zhi saw it supernaturally.

"Ziduo, I told you before that the media group is going to enter the production, distribution, and theater chain, do you remember?"

Li Ziduo immediately said: "Remember! ”

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "Then what do you suggest?" ”

Li Ziduo immediately came to his senses, he knew that this was a test for the boss, fortunately, after he heard this sentence, he had researched the information on Hong Kong films. It's all because he wants to grow.

Oriental Publishing House has a "Manke World" and a "Manke Daily", he doesn't want to be trapped in the Oriental Publishing House for the rest of his life; Fortunately, the boss asked him to run a printing factory again, and he had some hope.

In fact, he wants to move up the management of the media group.

"The boss's financial resources and wisdom to do this, naturally it will not be a petty fight. I would suggest that we first buy the Cathay Pacific in Hong Kong, which has Wing Wah Studios and a cinema chain in Hong Kong. That way, we don't have to start from scratch at least. On the other hand, after the plane crash of the founder Lu Yuntao, it was taken over by his brother-in-law Zhu Guoliang and reorganized into Cathay Pacific Agency. Due to the continuation of Lu Yuntao's style of pursuing art films, coupled with the double blow of Shaw Brothers Huangmei Opera and modern martial arts films, it is actually twilight, and I am afraid it will be difficult to turn over. Therefore, the probability that Zhu Guoliang is willing to sell has increased significantly. ”

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "Your analysis makes sense!" It's just that even if we are acquired, we lack a professional film industry management talent, after all, production, distribution, and theater management are all very thick knowledge! ”

Li Ziduo naturally does not covet this position, and he has a specialization in the art industry, so he said: "The boss doesn't know, Yu Puqing, the general manager of Cathay Pacific, is a leader in the industry, what he lacks may be a boss like you, as long as you point him in the direction, maybe you can immediately turn over Cathay Corporation." At the very least, you can ask him to stabilize the company at first. ”

In Li Ziduo's view, the boss has always had good skills in business, otherwise how could he succeed in all his careers.

After Lin Zhichao heard this, he thought about it!

This Yu Puqing doesn't seem to have a long lifespan, right?

It must be like this, otherwise why did the Cathay Pacific Agency disband the production department in the previous life and hand over the Yonghua studio to Zou Wenhuai.

Lin Zhichao said: "I heard that Zou Wenhuai of Shaw Brothers has a very high status in Shaw Brothers, although he is called the third-in-command, he is actually the second-in-command. ”

Li Ziduo immediately said: "That's it! Although Shao Laoliu's old friend Zhou Duwen is the general manager, he is the nominal second-in-command; But Zou Wenhuai went from publicity director, production manager, all the way up, and then to deputy general manager, but he has real power, and many people in the Shaw Brothers are pulled in by Zou Wenhuai. ”

Lin Zhichao said: "Then we recruited Zou Wenhuai to join, what do you think?" ”

Li Ziduo hesitated, and then said: "Shao Laoliu trusts and promotes Zou Wenhuai so much, I'm afraid it's a little difficult, and Hong Kong people know the relationship between Zou Wenhuai and Shao Laoliu, if Zou Wenhuai breaks away from the Shao family, I'm afraid there is a lot of gossip, and he himself shouldn't take risks, right?" ”

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "Zou Wenhuai is in the Shaw Brothers, he has everything, but there is one thing he doesn't have!" ”

Li Ziduo immediately said: "It's money!" It is rumored that Shao Lao Liu is very stingy, and he is very tight on money, and there was even a conflict with the money to buy buns back then. ”

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "So, Zou Wenhuai still has hope of joining us." Of course, if I worked again, he would definitely not agree, so I planned to ask him to partner in the production company. I have the funds to quickly set up a distribution network and a cinema network in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, which is very important to him. In this way, you will first test it for me, and don't talk about the specific conditions of cooperation, but reveal a meaning, and try and test first. ”

Li Ziduo said: "Okay, boss! ”

At this time, Li Ziduo had a vague guess that if the boss passed everything through himself, he might really be promoted to the top of the group. This made him excited in his heart, and with the means of the boss, he would build a media group of publishing, paper media, film, and cinema in the future, and his status would naturally rise.

After Li Ziduo left, Lin Zhichao thought about it.

There is nothing wrong with giving the equity of the film company to Zou Wenhuai's team. Originally, Shaw Brothers' approach was outdated, and in the future, Hong Kong movies will also be the world of 'satellite mode', after all, famous stars will have their hearts rippling.

Of course, Lin Zhichao's 30% equity is only for production and distribution, and as for the investment in the theater chain, he took it, so naturally no one is eligible to share the profits.

At the same time, Lin Zhichao also wants to take over the studios and Hong Kong cinemas of Cathay Pacific as soon as possible, so that Zou Wenhuai will find that this is the best place.

In a villa in Vancouver, Li Gaofu showed a look of regret on his face after making a long-distance phone call.

It turned out that during this time, he opened up through various information channels and found that Hong Kong had returned to normal.

At the same time, he is very unaccustomed to investing in some properties in Canada, and finds that there are a lot of doorways in it, and he is not familiar with the local laws, so it is easy for him to fall into the middle of the road, even if he has a lawyer, because this is a normal thing.

He is in Canada, whether it is his career or life, he is a little unaccustomed, this side is like a place to retire; This made Li Gaofu, who didn't want to retire yet, feel an indescribable grievance.

Li Gaofu couldn't hold back these annoyances, so he called Lin Zhichao, hoping to hear some suggestions.

"Sun Hung Kai's Fung King Hei has returned to Hong Kong, and there are many people who have returned recently. Real estate has recovered a lot, and Hong Kong's economy is ready to take off again! Hong Kong has been exploited by the mainland for a long time."

Lin Zhichao didn't persuade too much, so he said some things.

But the meaning is undoubtedly to tell Li Gaofu that reshoring is also a trend. Unless you want to retire, then Vancouver is for you; If you want to start a business, then Hong Kong is the best place.

Li Gaofu immediately regretted how wrong he had been. In addition to selling 62,000 square meters of land in Taiping Hong and Saihuan, he also sold some scattered properties in the first half of this year.

In Hong Kong, he left behind only one building in Sheung Wan, as well as about 200 residential units and about 20 shops (he had always insisted that 30% of the building be kept and 70% sold).

A lot of the money from the sale goes to Canadian properties.

After going back and forth, he found that his net worth had shrunk severely.

Thinking of this annoyance, he couldn't help but break an antique vase.

"Bang Dang"

For a while, Chen Shufang in the main room and Tao Hongjing in the second room took the children out to check.

"What's wrong?" Chen Shufang hurriedly stepped forward and said with concern.

Li Gaofu sat on the chair angrily and said, "It's a mistake! If you make a big mistake, you will lose a lot! ”

Tao Hongjing said: "Where could you go wrong, this is not right!" ”

Chen Shufang glanced at Tao Hongjing, and then said to Li Gaofu: "Is it that Hong Kong has returned to normal, and you want to go back to Hong Kong to develop?" ”

Li Gaofu suddenly felt that the original match was still good and empathetic!

No, Tao Hongjing immediately said: "Boss, we finally came to Vancouver, isn't it very good here, how suitable it is for the elderly."

Li Gaofu said calmly at this time: "I want to go back to Hong Kong to develop!" Shufang, you and I will go back to Hong Kong, Hongjing, you are a caretaker in Canada, and I will come to Canada regularly to visit your second room in the future. ”

When he heard Lin Zhichao's words, he already understood that he couldn't be wrong anymore.

Now that he is back in Hong Kong, he still has more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars in his hand, plus a Sheung Wan building, more than 200 residences, 20 shops, and a garden house, maybe he can become a big real estate developer (he doesn't know that there are many people who copy the bottom).

And leaving the second room in Vancouver can be regarded as leaving a backhand.

Chen Shufang immediately said: "I support your decision!" ”

Tao Hongjing thought to herself that she was in Canada, and she managed the property that her husband bought for more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars, and she didn't have to face the risk, so she immediately said: "I also want to do some business in Canada!" ”

She is very smart, relying on having a son and a daughter, and also put forward conditions.

Li Gaofu said: "In addition to the rent collection of those properties, I will give you another 500,000 Hong Kong dollars to support your business." You can start a clothing business in Canada, I can help you in Hong Kong! ”

It doesn't hurt to try, anyway, it's an investment of millions.

"Thank you, husband"

Chen Shufang was overjoyed in her heart, and finally got rid of this second room.

She doesn't know a lot, but he knows that Lin Zhichao has been in Hong Kong, and it will not be wrong for her husband to return to Hong Kong now.

And the industry that Hong Kong is working hard for naturally has nothing to do with the second house. At the same time, his son is already preparing to go to university, and when he finishes his studies, he can return to Hong Kong to help his father.

Li Gaofu was in no mood to pay attention to the intrigue between the two women, he felt that such an arrangement was foolproof, and if there was a situation, Vancouver would also be a family.

And his current business is just to sort out the Canadian industry as soon as possible, and then return to Hong Kong to buy land and property, and continue to engage in real estate business.

He feels that his style has always been no problem, and it is very safe to keep three points of the property for rent and seven points of the property for sale. In fact, if he hadn't gone to Vancouver, he would still be very rich at this time.

He came to Vancouver and sold 20 million properties, which were previously worth sixty million, mainly for the loss of this part. In addition, he has 10 million in cash, but now he spends half of it in Vancouver, and he has purchased a lot of properties for rent collection.

After all, when he first arrives in a strange place, only the property can calm his mind a little.

Li Ziduo met Zou Wenhuai at the restaurant of the Miramar Hotel. He made an appointment through a friend's channel, after all, Zou Wenhuai might refuse to make a rash appointment.

Zou Wenhuai looked at Li Ziduo curiously, and his friend just told him that Li Ziduo was a management under Sir Lin; He vaguely had an opinion, after all, as a newspaper background, he knew that in the past year, "Oriental Daily" and "Manke World" have sprung up and become a good story - Sir Lin is a bit of a stone into gold.

"Zou Sheng, let me introduce myself first, my name is Li Ziduo, and I am now the president of the Oriental Publishing House under the Media Group, and the factory of the Oriental Printing Factory, and my boss is Mr. Lin Zhichao."

Zou Wenhuai said: "Hello Li Sheng! To be honest, this date makes me very strange, I wonder if you have anything to do with me? ”

Li Ziduo saw Zou Wenhuai go straight to the point, and he didn't talk nonsense: "Don't hide it, the media group is ready to enter the film industry and develop production, distribution, and cinemas, and our boss hopes that you can join us!" ”

Really!

Zou Wenhuai immediately said: "Thank you Sir Lin for your love!" It's just that Shao Sheng has the grace of knowing me, and I have the power of Shaw Brothers, so I really have no reason to start this business again! ”

The implication is that if I don't put the position of boss, it will be impossible to come to a start-up!

Li Ziduo was not in a hurry, because the boss did not say that he had to win over Zou Wenhuai, he said with a smile: "Shao Sheng has the grace of knowing you, and I have heard about it." But Shaw Brothers didn't give you one thing! ”

Zou Wenhuai became interested and said, "Oh, what is that?" ”

Li Ziduo smiled and said, "Didn't Zou Sheng already understand!" Naturally, it's money. Of course, if it's just money, wrinkles may not be willing to change jobs, and self-reliance is also a channel, but our boss wants to cooperate with you! ”

Zou Wenhuai was immediately moved!

The famous Sir Lam has an unknown amount of wealth, and even the British-funded foreign companies may not be able to match it. Moreover, this Sir Lin has a bit of a skill to turn stone into gold, and he has been running a newspaper for less than a year, and he has already got rid of those newspapers that have been running for decades. Not to mention, Sir Lam's industries span shipping, industry, real estate, hotels, media, clothing, etc., and almost all of them are successful.

But Zou Wenhuai quickly calmed down, he really didn't have the heart to rebel at this time. Although he wanted to make more money, he was also worried that the new company was not a match for Shaw Brothers; What's more, Shao Lao Liu has the grace of knowing him.

"Thank you, Sir Lin, for being so affordable! It's just that Shaw Brothers treats me well, I'm afraid I can't change jobs and gossip! ”

Seeing this, Li Ziduo couldn't help but admire Fu Wenhuai, such a good condition, he actually refused.

"Oh well! Our boss said that this invitation is valid at any time, and he values your skills in the field of production and distribution very much. said that as long as you join, he can immediately invest tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars to create a one-stop production, distribution, and theater chain that is not inferior to Shaw Brothers. ”

Zou Wenhuai's eyelids jumped wildly, this is a lot of money, how many years has he worked for the Shaw Family, and the deposit is only more than 200,000.

"Thank you"

Resisting the temptation, Zou Wenhuai still refused for the time being.

Li Ziduo smiled, still respectful. He understood, Fu Wenhuai was a little moved, and maybe there would be a turnaround in the future.

And the boss said that no matter whether Fu Wen Huaijia joins or not, he is ready to do the film industry.
