    Stimulated by the heavy exclusive news, although the "Economic News" was released more than an hour late, its popularity was far higher than before. By noon, it reprinted another copy and watched it go straight to the sales record of 100,000.  , Lin Xingzhi felt a mixture of emotions, including pride and relief, sadness and fear.  When Shen Chong contacted him through HSBC and planned to acquire the Hong Kong Economic Journal, Lin Xingzhi was actually very reluctant. On the one hand, Shen Chong had just risen to prominence at the time, and everyone thought he was a lucky upstart. Literary men have three prides.  , is naturally not eye-catching, but on the other hand, he does not want to be controlled by others and wants to maintain his identity as an independent and free journalist.  After several rejections, Shen Chong came directly to his door and spoke to him. He still remembers these words.  "Chief Editor Lin, doing news is nothing more than chasing fame and profit. You are doing financial news, so you must also know that the essence of financial news is to pursue profit. Where is the profit? The profit lies with the rich.  In my pocket, I am famous and rich. As long as you follow me, you can get any kind of breaking news. I do things, you report, and readers watch the fun. It¡¯s a win-win for everyone.¡±  The group is limited, the sales volume is only 20,000 to 30,000 copies, the profitability is limited, and the ability to withstand risks is also poor. Look around, Ming Pao has daily newspapers, evening newspapers, weekly newspapers, monthly magazines, Sing Tao has daily newspapers, morning newspapers, and English newspapers.  The same is true for newspapers and Oriental newspapers. Everyone is conglomerating. Small and specialized companies have no future. Typhoons often blow in Hong Kong. When a typhoon blows, the big trees are fine, but the small trees are all dead. " "I like data very much, because.  Statistics don¡¯t lie. At the beginning of this year, there were a total of six film magazines in Hong Kong. Then I started "Movie Times". Half a year later, except for Shaw Brothers' "Southern Movies", the other five magazines were closed.  Why? Because the ones that were more expensive than "Movie Times" couldn't be sold, and the ones that were cheaper than "Movie Times" couldn't support their editors and reporters, so they had to close down. "Southern Movies" used to sell ten percent per issue.  Tens of thousands, right now, no more than 20,000. I heard that Shaw Brothers plans to close it next year and stop doing it. Editor-in-chief Lin, you have to think clearly about where you are going. " These words are both threats and inducements, which makes Lin feel uncomfortable.  Xing Zhi was so confused that he went to visit Hong Kong property and stock market tycoon Xiang Zhiqiu who had given him a lot of help when the Hong Kong Economic Journal was first established. After hearing what he said, Xiang Zhiqiu only said one sentence  He said: "I heard that Shen Bi personally introduced this young man to join the golf club. Lin Xingzhi had been doing financial news for more than ten years. He understood it immediately. When he came back, he signed and sold the newspaper. Shen Chong had a good relationship with HSBC's Taipan.  It shows that he is definitely not a simple upstart, and the financial resources of someone who can play with the HSBC team are definitely not something that the Hong Kong Economic Journal can compete with. And this decision, it seems now, is extremely correct.  If it is not sold, the Hong Kong Economic Journal may disappear like the dismembered "Asia Weekly". If nothing else, just relying on Shen Chong's reputation for generosity and the legend of turning people into gold, there are not many migrant workers in Hong Kong.  Can Zai resist the temptation of poaching with oriental charm? Without editors and reporters, "Industry News" is left with only Lin Xingzhi alone. What else is there to do? Sitting in a spacious, comfortable and personalized office, Lin Xingzhi looked at the newspaper's sales data  After being dazed for a while, I stood up and prepared to go to the lounge on the seventh floor to play a few games of billiards to soothe my body that was exhausted from working overtime last night. Not to mention the high salary, this office environment is better than the previous "Xinxin".  The conditions are much better With my back against the big tree, I can enjoy the shade. It seems that I will get closer to the boss in the future Lin Xingzhi sighed while waiting for the elevator. Oriental Charm has seven floors in total, and there are students on the first and second floors.  There was no way to get into the training base without a special access card, so he didn't wait long before the elevator arrived. After opening the door, he saw Luo Weiming, the editor-in-chief of "Movie Times", also inside.  "Chief Editor Lin, congratulations, you got the exclusive big news. The Hong Kong Economic Journal is selling like crazy today." "Chief Editor Luo has an exclusive interview with the crew of "Die Hard", and the latest issue of the magazine is also a big seller  Special sale, everyone is happy." Lin Xingzhi greeted him with a smile, then looked at him and asked, "Editor-in-chief Luo, why do you look so sad?" "Can you not be worried?  I am a chain smoker.  Luo Weiming raised his finger and said with a wry smile: "I don't know what happened to the boss some time ago. Smoking is now completely banned on the seventh floor. It makes me feel uncomfortable every time I go up there."  " Lin Xingzhi also smoked, but he wasn't very addicted. He suggested: "Why don't you smoke two cigarettes in the smoking room on the sixth floor first, and then go back up if you are satisfied.  " "That's useless.  Luo Weiming shook his head and said: "Actually, I can tolerate not smoking for an hour or two. Smoking is mainly to relieve stress. You know, the boss is becoming more and more magical now. He is as magical as a god. We can only look up to him."  Smoking will make people feel more at ease, just like going to Wong Tai Sin Temple and not holding a few sticks of incense will make you feel guilty and short of breath.  " "They say Editor-in-Chief Luo is funny, and you are really funny.  " "What's funny? It's just for masturbation.  "Luo Weiming sighed and said; "Mr. LinEditor, your "Economic Journal" made a big news, which can affect the operation of hundreds of millions of funds. Editor-in-chief Qiu's "Oriental Weekly" made a big news, even the Hong Kong Governor was shocked. I, the editor-in-chief, made a big news.  When a big news comes out, it can only make people laugh after dinner. Tell me, can I not feel guilty and short of breath when I see my boss?  " "Editor-in-chief Luo, you are too self-effacing. The combined sales of "Xinbao" and "Prosperity Oriental Weekly" are not as much as your magazine.  " "It's useless to have high sales. The profit of the magazine in one year is not as much as the boss makes in the stock market in one hour. Alas, it requires influence but no influence, and it requires money but no money. If this continues, how can we survive.  " Lin Xingzhi and Luo Weiming were not very familiar with each other, and they didn't know how to comfort them. They could only remain silent. Fortunately, the elevator arrived soon, and after the two came out, they parted ways. " Luo Weiming is the oldest among all the editors-in-chief of Oriental Charm.  He has a very good relationship with Shen Chong, and usually can enter the office directly without being informed by the secretary, but this time, before entering, he pointed to the ajar door and asked Qiu Siyu: "Xiaoyu, boss, is it convenient now?  "    "inconvenient.  "Luo Weiming was humorous and friendly, and Qiu Siyu was familiar with him. She raised her right hand, covered it with her mouth, whispered, and said softly with a smile: "Sister Zhang is inside.  "    "oh?  Luo Weiming showed an ambiguous smile, then let out a breath and said, "Then I'll come back next time."  " "Editor-in-chief Luo.  Qiu Siyu sat upright, suppressed her smile, and said seriously: "Mr. Shen just gave special instructions. He has something to do with you, and he asked you to go in directly after you come."  " Luo Weiming's face immediately became bitter.
