Chu Xiangqian was stunned for a moment, and after Ge Bai was excited, he muttered a few words before he understood.

Last night at around 10 p.m. Hong Kong time and 2 p.m. London time, Margaret's White Knight took part in the Devon 4km endurance race.

Not only won the championship, but also broke the record in one fell swoop.

When the White Knight crossed the finish line, the crowd did not see the second place.

That is, for the other horseriders, they didn't even see the back of the white knight, and the white knight had already completed the whole distance.

Coupled with the fact that the owner of the horse was Margaret, the matter had already caused a sensation in London.

Countless spectators and horse owners look at the sweaty horses differently. Many people have also come to believe that the sweat horse is stronger than the Arabian horse in terms of endurance.

The desert people were very dissatisfied and unhappy about this, but after hearing the results of the white knight, they could only put aside the argument for the time being.

I heard that there are already several members of the desert royal family living in London, who have publicly said that they will participate in the Windsor Castle Endurance Race at the end of June and the beginning of July.

And he also openly said that he wanted the White Knights to participate directly in the level 2 event, that is, the 120-kilometer race.

Although Chu Xiangqian knew in his heart that in an endurance race of several kilometers, it was impossible for a horse to be stronger than the white knight.

But when I heard this, my heart was still excited.

As for the 120-kilometer race, Chu Xiangqian is even less worried.

In endurance races within 40 kilometers, the results of Arabian horses are actually better than those of sweaty horses.

This is a fact that is determined by the results of most endurance races around the world.

But long-distance running, sweaty horses have the advantage of thirst resistance and fast recovery.

The 5,300-kilometer super race can only be held by sweaty horses, and the record of all the horses in the race has been completed.

Not to mention that the white knight's physique has also increased by 1 point, which is equal to the physical strength and endurance of this horse, which is about twice that of all sweaty horses.

At least the rider was in his right mind, and Chu Xiangqian couldn't think of a reason why the white knight would lose.

And the White Knight ran an endurance championship, plus Margaret's own influence, and the media added fuel to the fire.

It means that the market price of sweat and blood horses, to say the least, has also increased by one or two percent.

And the more beautiful the appearance and the more well-proportioned the musculoskeletal sweat horse, the higher the price.

For Ge Bai and the others, the horse owners who bought dozens of sweaty horses from Chu Xiangqian, it was the first time they really saw a profit.

Of course, Chu Xiangqian will not lose anything, and at the auction in a few days, the auction price of sweat and blood horses will definitely increase a lot.

If the 10 Arabian horses look in good shape, the reputation of the owners of these horses, the owners of the White Knights and the Champion Knights, can increase the value of the 10 Arabian horses a lot.

When he handed over 400 bottles of tiger bone wine and 800 boxes of half-kilogram deer glue to Ichiro Matsuno, he didn't expect this little trick to know about the champion knight and the white knight.

Chu Xiangqian just thought about it, and guessed that it must have been heard from Carlos-Nightkin side.

"Chu Sheng, not only has the task you assigned to be assigned, but at about 6 o'clock in the morning, there was news from London that the nightclub owner had been arrested.

If my guess is correct, another target should have been caught during the time we met. ”

Chu Xiangqian didn't have any doubts about this, ninja assassins were all masters of assassination and infiltration.

Although it is more troublesome to arrest people than to kill people, it is really not too easy to deal with some thugs.

As long as he catches someone and sends him back to Hong Kong Island, he can easily exchange his account books for 5 million Hong Kong dollars from Hahn.

And what I paid was only more than 400,000 Hong Kong dollars.

For Ozunu, the four missions that Chu had scheduled for the past four times had been completed twice at once.

If the other two scheduled tasks are completed within a year, then Chu Xiangqian will definitely be the person who has posted the most tasks among all customers.

After Matsuno Ichiro finished speaking, he took out a bronze medal from his arms and handed it to Chu Xiangqian with both hands.

"Chu Sheng, this is the status symbol of the Auzunu VIPs. Any customer who owns this bronze medal will not only be forever excluded from Ozunu's goal.

We are also happy to provide you with security tasks.

If you need a female ninja with personal service and protection, we can arrange it. ”

Chu Xiangqian smiled at the corner of his mouth, but he didn't believe in any status symbol words in his heart.

It's nothing more than tiger bone wine and deer gum are very popular in the island country, and they make more money than Ozunu accepts every year on assassination missions.

Under the temptation of money, any rule can be changed.

Took the bronze medal and looked at it, it was a family crest unique to the island people, and Chu Xiangqian didn't bother to ask, what the badge represented.

He put the bronze medal away with a smile and asked, "Are your female ninjas pretty?" ”

Matsuno Ichiro was stunned for a moment, and then showed a knowing smile, "Chu Sheng, you should believe in our sincerity. ”

Chu Xiangqian didn't laugh, "Let's talk about this again." ”

Chu Xiangqian wanted an island country girl to serve him, after all, in this island country, women have not yet started boxing.

It is not an exaggeration to say that three from four virtues.

But after all, there are still scruples, and it will be very troublesome to be accompanied by a woman who must be a spy, not to mention, and there is a high probability that she will be eyeing Fei Fei, Linda and Alyssa.

If there is a fuss, the ghost knows if the woman of that island country will attack Fei Fei and them.

Matsuno Ichiro was suddenly anxious, for his own future, not to mention introducing Ozunu's excellent female ninja to Chu Xiangqian, even if it was his cousin, cousin or something, he was willing to send it to Chu Xiangqian's arms.

"Chu Sheng, haven't you heard that the women of our country are known for being virtuous, gentle and considerate?"

Chu Xiangqian pouted, "I've only heard that the cheating rate of women in island countries is more than 5 percent. ”

Matsuno Ichiro immediately stopped doing it, and suddenly stood up, "Slander, this is slander." ”

Chu Xiangqian didn't want to argue with this little trick in front of him about this kind of thing.

"Okay, okay, it's okay, it's okay to disperse, and we'll contact you when the two targets we caught arrive on Hong Kong Island."

After speaking, Chu Xiangqian got up and left, casually waving his hand with his back to Matsuno Ichiro as a farewell.

When I drove to the newspaper office, I was attracted by the construction site on the opposite side before I even entered the newspaper building.

simply walked quickly to the rooftop of the newspaper office, and after a few careful looks, the efficiency of the two brothers in the dark passage was quite high.

In less than 20 days, the tidal flat opposite the newspaper office was not only smoothed out, but also paved with cement roads.

There are also quite a few building materials and workers who are laying the foundations for the newspaper's warehouse and the factory of the printing house.

Chu Xiangqian watched on the rooftop for more than ten minutes, his ears moved slightly, and after a while, he saw He Yisheng, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, walking quickly to the rooftop with his secretary.

"Boss, are you back?"

Chu Qianqian nodded, pointed to the construction site and said, "How long will it take to finish here?" ”

He Yisheng followed Chu Xiangqian's finger, glanced at the construction site a few times, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Ma mentioned it to me after he came to inspect the construction site yesterday.

It will take about 20 days before the warehouse, the fence and the printing factory can be built.

It won't take more than 1 month to deal with some finishing touches. ”

Chu Xiangqian nodded with satisfaction, and then asked worriedly, "Don't blindly seek speed, quality is the first place." ”

He Yisheng hurriedly replied, "Boss, rest assured, the two Mr. Ma will come over every day and watch the construction site in person."

And I heard the foreman say that Mr. Pony said that if there is a problem with the project here, the foreman will be compensated three times.

If you can't afford to lose money, you will sink a few foremen into the sea. ”

Chu Xiangqian laughed, he liked the style of pony. Otherwise, the foreman will pay attention to the project and think crookedly.

"By the way, has the newspaper's staff dormitory started?"

He Yisheng nodded again, "I heard that the two gentlemen, Big and Small, found a partner some time ago and imported a lot of steel and cement with low prices and absolutely good quality.

The construction speed of the project on the dormitory side is not slow because the materials are well prepared.

The two Mr. Ma also made a lot of money on steel and cement. ”

As soon as Chu Xiangqian heard it, he knew that it must be that the mainland had already exported a lot of steel bars and cement to large and small horses.

If you have money to make, you will naturally have more motivation.

Talking about the completion of the land, Chu Xiangqian took He Yisheng downstairs and came to his office.

When Fei Fei saw her man coming to the newspaper office, her smile immediately brightened.

Hurriedly got up and went to brew Blue Mountain coffee for Chu Xiangqian.

He Yisheng also has a soft spot for this kind of coffee, and before he talked about it, he said with a smile, "Boss, you said that if I buy blue coffee from Jamaica and open a coffee shop, will I make any money?" ”

Chu Xiangqian was stunned for a moment, and shook his head without thinking about it.

"If you open it, I'll keep you at a loss. And it's the kind of loss that goes to grandma's family. ”

He Yisheng was surprised, "Boss, aren't you also a lover of this kind of coffee, why do you think that other Hong Kong people can't accept this kind of coffee?" ”

Chu Xiangqian didn't have the heart to talk to him about this kind of thing, and wanted to promote a coffee that had not yet been accepted by the market.

In addition to the large amount of money required, it also takes a long time to slowly get customers to accept it.

Just like cat poop coffee, before the 8 or 90s, this thing was garbage in the eyes of most people.

Not only is it extremely cheap, but many people simply say that it is like Yonedako.

From the very beginning, the ICAC on Hong Kong Island used the coffee as a means of torturing the willpower of those under investigation.

In the early 70s, anyone who said that the ICAC invited coffee not only meant being investigated, but also because most bad guys knew that the ICAC's coffee was indeed super unpalatable.

Of course, just as some people especially like stinky tofu, some people just love to drink cat poop coffee.

After thinking about it, he simply said, "If you are really interested in opening a coffee shop, I will go out of the store and Fei Fei will cooperate with you on my behalf."

The specific operation will be left to you to take care of. I don't want the profits, you are responsible for your own profits and losses. ”

He Yisheng was overjoyed, which is equivalent to the boss providing the venue for free.

No rent, the cost of the coffee shop is naturally lower.

"Thank you, boss, I promise that it won't affect the newspaper's business, and I plan to let my wife take care of the coffee shop."

Chu Xiangqian waved his hand indifferently and looked at Fei Fei, who was cutting his cigar.

"Fei Fei, if you have time, go find a store, if Mrs. He's coffee shop is doing well, I will buy another store in the future and open a coffee shop for you to have fun with."

Fei Fei was overjoyed, and He Yisheng was moved, "Boss, why don't we just buy a coffee estate in Jamaica?" ”

Chu Xiangqian waved his hand, Blue Mountain Coffee wants to be famous, and it is definitely not something that one or two rich people can do.

It took more than ten or twenty years for the islanders themselves to make Blue Mountain coffee famous.

"There's no need, let's not mention this, let's talk about the sales of the newspaper during this time."

He Yisheng hurriedly retracted, opened a folder, and said with a straight expression, "Five days ago, the sales of the newspaper officially exceeded 50,000 copies.

The sales data of the past few days also show that the newspaper has not only stabilized the daily performance of 50,000 copies, but the sales volume should easily exceed 60,000 copies in the future. ”

Chu Xiangqian naturally knew that the upper limit of the Oriental Daily was more than 500,000 copies per day.

But if you really want to achieve that goal, it depends on luck and specific management.

However, with a daily sales of 50,000 copies, it is already a leading newspaper in this era.

After reading the report, Chu Xiangqian said with a smile, "It seems that the colleagues below are riveting and want my boss to give them bonuses." ”

He Yisheng smiled, the boss gave a bonus last month.

In the first half of this month, after the newspaper sold more than 40,000 copies a day, it was decided to start construction of staff dormitories.

If the employees up and down the newspaper don't work hard, then I'm really sorry for the boss for such a big reward.

But the boss gives a bonus again, and no one will refuse.

He Yisheng said with a smile, "Then I will thank the boss on behalf of my colleagues." ”

Chu Xiangqian laughed, waved his hand and said, "As long as the sales volume can increase every month, I don't mind paying bonuses every month." ”

There are only 145 people in the newspaper, and the monthly salary is less than 30,000 Hong Kong dollars.

With a sales volume of 50,000 copies, an average of 7 cents per newspaper is earned, which is 3,500 yuan a day, and the net profit of a month has exceeded 100,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Combined with the advertising revenue of the newspaper, it will increase as the sales volume increases.

Now the advertising offer for a day has reached 1,500, and it is 45,000 Hong Kong dollars a month.

It is no wonder that in the sixties and seventies, the number of newspapers on Hong Kong Island soared from 53 in the city to more than 200.

After chatting with He Yisheng about the newspaper for half an hour, Chu Qianqian hesitated for a few seconds, but still said to He Yisheng, "With the current manpower and level of the newspaper, is it possible to intervene in the magazine and comic industry?" ”

He Yisheng was stunned, but it was only a few seconds before he became excited.

Since the boss asked himself, and he has always only focused on the big, regardless of the specific operation of the newspaper.

Magazines and comics will also be managed by themselves for a period of time, and then the editor-in-chief of the magazine and comics will be appointed according to the situation.

If you can manage these two departments and develop them well, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper group will definitely choose herself.

But He Yisheng quickly calmed down again, "Boss, you can definitely do it." However, the newspaper is still on the rise, and I don't think it will be possible to tilt resources towards magazines and comics in the short term.

That is, to come up with results, not so fast. ”

Chu Xiangqian directly interrupted He Yisheng, "I'll leave this matter to you, gather the people from the two departments within three months, and the results will improve within half a year."

As for whether or not it can become a best-selling item, that's your task and that of the two department heads.

But I promise you, as long as you do well, you will be the first choice for the editor-in-chief of the newspaper group in the future. Of course, the newspaper will be the focus for a long time to come. ”
