Stimulated by the heavy scoop news, although Xinbao Finance News was released more than an hour late, its popularity was far higher than before. By noon, it was printed again. Seeing that it was heading straight for the 100,000 yuan sales record, Lin Xingzhi felt mixed feelings, with pride and gratitude, sadness and fear.

When Chen Chong contacted him through HSBC and planned to acquire Xinbao, Lin Xingzhi was actually very reluctant. On the one hand, Chen Chong had just risen at that time, and everyone thought he was a lucky nouveau riche. Literature has three prides, so naturally he was not attracted to him. On the other hand, he did not want to be controlled by others and wanted to maintain his identity as a journalist.

After several refusals, Chen Chong came to the door and said something to him. He still remembers these words.

"Editor Lin, doing news is nothing more than the four words of pursuing fame and profit. You are doing financial news, and I must also know that the essence of financial news is to pursue profit. Where is the profit? Profit is in the pockets of rich people. I am famous and rich. As long as you follow me, you can get any big news. I do things, you report, readers watch the excitement, and everyone wins the whole world."

"The content of "Xinbao" is more professional, with a limited readership, with only 20,000 or 30,000 copies sold, with limited profitability, and poor ability to resist risks. Look around, Mingbao has daily newspapers, evening newspapers, weekly newspapers, monthly newspapers, Sing Tao has daily newspapers, morning newspapers, and English newspapers. The same is true for Oriental Newspaper. Everyone is grouping, small but specialized, and there is no future. Typhoons are often blowing in Hong Kong. A typhoon blows by, big trees are all good, and small trees are dead."

"I like data very much because data will not lie. At the beginning of this year, there were six movie magazines in Hong Kong. Then I went to do "Movie Age". Half a year later, except Shaw's "South Country Movie", all five other magazines closed down. Why? Because the prices are more expensive than "Movie Age", they can't sell them. The prices are cheaper than "Movie Age", and they can't afford their editors and reporters, so they had to close down. "South Country Movie" used to sell more than 100,000 yuan per issue, but now, it's no more than 20,000 yuan. It turns out that Shaw plans to close it again and stop doing it. Editor-in-Chief Lin, where is it going, you have to think clearly."

These words made Lin Xingzhi very confused. For this reason, he specially visited Xiang Zhiqiu, a tycoon of Hong Kong's real estate and stock market who had helped him a lot at the beginning of the founding of Xinbao. After hearing his retelling, Xiang Zhiqiu only said one sentence: "I heard that Chen Bi personally introduced this young man to the golf club.

Lin Xingzhi had been doing financial news for more than ten years and immediately understood it. When he came back, he signed and sold the newspaper. Chen Chong had a good relationship with the HSBC senior class, which shows that he was definitely not a simple nouveau riche, and the financial resources of those who could play with the HSBC senior class were definitely not something that Xinbao could compete with.

And this decision, now seems to be made extremely correct. If you hold on and refuse to sell it, the Xinbao may have disappeared like the dismembered "Asia Weekly". Not to mention anything else, just relying on Shen Chong's generous reputation and the legend of making money, few workers in Hong Kong can withstand the temptation of the Eastern charm of poaching. Without editors and reporters, the Xinbao is only left with Lin Xingzhi, who is alone, and what are you still playing?

Sitting in the spacious, comfortable and personalized office, Lin Xingzhi was stunned by the newspaper sales data for a while, then stood up and prepared to go to the lounge on the seventh floor to play a few billiards to relieve his exhausted body because he worked overtime all night last night.

Not to mention high salaries, this office environment is much better than the previous "Xinbao"...

It’s great to enjoy the cool air with your back against a big tree. It seems that you should get closer to your boss in the future...

Lin Xingzhi sighed while waiting for the elevator. Oriental Charm has only seven floors in total. The first and second floors are the student training base. There is no special access card, so the elevator arrived. After opening the door, he saw that Luo Weiming, the editor-in-chief of "Movie Age", was also inside.

"Editor Lin, congratulations, I've grabbed the exclusive news, and the Xinbao is crazy today."

"Editor Luo has an exclusive interview with the crew of "Die Hard". The latest issue of the magazine is also a big sale, and everyone is happy with each other." Lin Xingzhi greeted him with a smile, then looked at him and asked, "Editor Luo, why is he worried?"

"Can you not worry? I am the one who keeps smoking." Luo Weiming raised his finger and said with a wry smile: "I don't know what stimulation the boss had been in a while ago. Now the seventh floor is banned from smoking, which makes me feel uncomfortable every time I go up."

Lin Xingzhi also smoked, but he was not satisfied. He suggested: "It's better to smoke two in the smoking room on the sixth floor to get enough time and then go up."

"That's useless." Luo Weiming shook his head and said, "In fact, I can tolerate it if I don't smoke for an hour or two. Smoking is mainly to relieve stress. You know, the boss is becoming more and more magical now. It's magical like a god. We can only look up. Smoking will make people feel more comfortable, just like going to Wong Tai Sin Temple and not holding a few incense sticks in your hands, you will feel guilty and short of breath."

"Everyone says Editor-in-Chief Luo is funny, you are really funny."

"What's so funny? Just masturbating." Luo Weiming sighed and said, "Editor Lin, your "Xinbao" can make a big news, which can affect the operation of hundreds of millions of dollars. Editor Qiu's "Present Times Oriental Weekly" makes a big news, and even the Governor of Hong Kong was shocked. I, as the editor-in-chief, can only make people have fun after dinner. Tell me, can I not be guilty when I see my boss?"

"Editor Luo, you are too modest. The combined sales of "Xinbao" and "Shengshi Oriental Weekly" are not as high as yours."

"It's useless to have high sales. The magazine's profit in a year is not as much as the boss earns more in an hour in the stock market. Alas, if you have influence but no influence, if you have money, how can you make a fortune if you keep doing this?"

Lin Xingzhi and Luo Weiming were not very familiar with each other and didn't know how to comfort him, so 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 editors in Oriental Charm. He has a very good relationship with Shen Chong. He doesn’t need a secretary to report it. He can go directly to the office. However, this time, before entering, he pointed to the faint door and asked Qiu Siyu: "Xiaoyu, is it convenient for the boss now?"

"Inconvenient." Luo Weiming is humorous and friendly, and Qiu Siyu is familiar with him. She raised her right hand, blocked her mouth, made a whisper, and said softly with a smile: "Sister Zhang is inside."

"Oh?" Luo Weiming smiled ambiguously, then let out a light breath and said, "Then I'll come back next time."

"Editor Luo." Qiu Siyu sat down, calmed her smile, and said seriously: "Mr. Chen had just given him something to ask you for help and let you go in after you come."
