Chapter 231: The Dirty Book of Yizhou
The newspaper industry in Hong Kong is very prosperous. In this small corner, there are nearly 50 newspapers of all sizes, with a total sales volume of nearly one million copies.

The contents of each newspaper are also varied.

There was the Hong Kong Daily News, which specialized in reporting Hong Kong news; the Sing Tao Daily, which focused more on foreign news; the Horse Stable Daily, which specialized in reporting horse racing; the New Paper, which was famous for horse racing and novels; the Sing Pao, which was the leader in the 50s; and the Hong Kong Commercial Daily, which mainly reported on economics...

There is also the Hong Kong Wen Wei Po, which is dedicated to serializing many martial arts, essays, romance, science fiction and other articles. It has contributions from famous people such as Ni Kuang, Yi Shu, and Lin Yanni, and its sales are quite good; not to mention the Ming Pao, which is famous throughout Hong Kong for its novels.

I won’t mention the Ta Kung Pao which has been weak recently.

And other miscellaneous "Hong Kong Writers' News", "Hong Kong Chinese Poetry News", "Hong Kong Literature News", "Literary World", "Literary News"...

Therefore, Wang Yuanchao had to think carefully about how the Oriental Daily News later became famous by relying on its horse and dog business and then dominated the top position in Hong Kong's newspaper industry for decades.

He even wondered whether it was appropriate to enter the fiercely competitive newspaper industry at this time.

After all, even if there was a newspaper at this time, how much help would it bring to his career?
After careful consideration, I decided to charge in.

The main thing is that Deep Blue will expand steadily, so he doesn't need to worry about anything. Commercial Radio has a mature and stable team, and he only needs to give some guidance and support, and Commercial Radio will develop independently. The plastic factory is still developing toys, and it won't produce results for a while.

As for buying houses and land, there are agents to help run errands, and he only needs to make sure he can follow up and pay the final bill.

Liu Qijin was on high alert and had to go to school, so he didn't even have time to talk about love!

So what to do with the remaining time?
Is it such a waste?

He can't.

It’s better to find something to do.

It’s good to succeed, but if you fail, just consider it as accumulating experience.

Is the competition fierce now? Will it be less fierce in the future?

Now, he has many ways to reduce dimensions!
So he decided to just do it!
Novels and horse racing basically all started with this routine, which shows that this routine works.

Then do we have to drag Zhou Qibang along?

Because Wang Yuanchao also discovered that the horse racing books in the newspapers on the market are crude and unprofessional. The horse racing books only talk about horse racing, which is too monotonous. The stories about horses are just small stories, which are interesting but not exciting. Some of them are not even interesting.

So, the first step is to make horse racing professional and standardized.

At that time, many grand prix and tour races did not have a complete horse performance database, jockey database, and ratings database, which resulted in horse racing fans watching the races like a blind man touching an elephant, and ordinary spectators were even more confused, which seriously hindered the promotion and popularization of horse racing.

Wang Yuanchao wants to establish a horse racing database!

Wang Yuanchao can get the materials that others can get, and he can also get the materials that others cannot get.

To put it bluntly, can everyone interview every horse, jockey, and rider?

Even if we can interview, will the interview be in-depth enough?

Do they pay attention to the weight changes of horses and jockeys before a race?

Do they study bloodlines?

Horses of different bloodlines are suitable for long-distance running and short-distance running. It may not be accurate, but big data is definitely normally distributed. Otherwise, how can Africans run marathons so easily? They also run short distances easily, huh.

Some horses even come from abroad. Do you know their performance abroad? Except for the horse owners who actively promote them, everyone is basically in the dark about them.

Wang Yuanchao can understand and explore all of the above.

Because Zhou Qibang’s father, Sir Zhou Xinian, is a director of the Jockey Club!
Wang Yuanchao even felt that the shares given to Zhou Qibang seemed a bit too little.

But Mr. Zhou is not interested in this. He has taken advantage of others. At worst, no matter what business Mr. Zhou wants to start in the future, he can just help him out!

When the latest and most detailed information about the first batch of horses is released before the first batch of horse races, how could it not be popular?
As the saying goes, tell the elderly about longevity, tell children about brain health, tell women about beauty, tell men about sexual enhancement, and tell everyone about making money! Betting on horses means making money.

Make up some more examples and short stories about people getting rich. Isn't this more exciting than other people's boring introductions about horses?

The worse the economy is, the more horse racing can change your destiny.

The worse the economy is, the better the entertainment industry will develop.

As life pressure and mental pressure increase, people will "escape from reality" in order to seek self-repair, self-protection, and self-paralysis of the soul, which requires some entertainment products to kill time and relax themselves. It can even be said that people need to deceive themselves. Therefore, other newspapers are all kinds of news, articles, comments, and at most novels for entertainment, but Wang Yuanchao wants to take a different path from other newspapers, to indulge in sensual pleasures and entertainment to death!

Entertainment news, handsome men and beautiful women, celebrity gossip, movie and music reviews. If you don’t know anything else, why not learn from The Sun?

It satisfies many people's "desire for curiosity" and "conspiracy theories" and immerses readers in colorful "news".

It doesn’t matter if it’s just for show, or if it can only satisfy people’s low-level needs. Once the brand is established, there will be plenty of time to slowly adjust the content.

As for novels, Wang Yuanchao is preparing to release "The Deer and the Cauldron". A small gangster grows up to be Lord Wei, with seven wives. Isn't that cool?

More than one million words, it took a lot of effort to hand-copy them!
After considering everything, he proposed the acquisition of the newspaper to Zhou Qibang at the dinner.

Zhou Qibang happily agreed!
With the assistance of Zhou Qibang, Wang Yuanchao began to recruit soldiers and assign tasks.

How can we enjoy the life of sensual pleasures without taking photos?
Liu Heqing was very good at photography, and was directly called by Wang Yuanchao to be the president and photography editor of the newspaper.

Poor Uncle Liu, he was the boss of a film company, then the head of the publicity and promotion department of the film company, and after coming here he was the publicity and promotion specialist. Now he is the president and photography editor of a newspaper, which is not a low position.

But nowadays, the newspaper office only has a dozen employees, which is a bit shabby.

Liu Qijin just pulled his father's sleeve and said:
"Dad, if you don't help Brother Yuan Chao, who will help him?"

Yes, who can help him? My daughter still needs to go to school!
His wife Wang Danfeng also supported it. She had been recommended by Wang Yuanchao to perform in radio dramas at Commercial Radio.

Having said that, the movies that Great Wall is making now have no market after responding to the call from the mainland.

Their original markets were Southeast Asia and Hong Kong. Everyone knows the current situation in the mainland. In Hong Kong, they have been banned and are not welcome in Southeast Asia.

So after filming, it will just lie there gathering dust in the film library.

The more you shoot, the more you lose, so it’s better not to shoot.

It's almost impossible to pay salaries.

The couple now both work for Wang Yuanchao.

Next was the editor-in-chief Cao Wannian, who had written many erotic articles in the past and had been active in various newspapers, large and small, until his former employer was invited for tea and the newspaper went bankrupt.

Wang Yuanchao searched those newspapers for a long time and only found this one person with rich experience who could be used.

Not only does he fit in with the newspaper's purpose, but he can also improve and supplement it based on Wang Yuanchao's ideas. He is a very good executive talent.

For example, the other party immediately recommended the banned book in Yizhou, "Heart Lock" by the famous beauty writer Guo Lianghui. This beauty writer was even expelled from the Yizhou Literary Association because of this! Cao Wannian can even recite the proposals of the predecessors of the Yizhou Literary Association:

"Guo Lianghui is beautiful, wears fashionable clothes, dances and acts in movies, is active in social circles, and has caused gossip.

At that time, society was simple and honest. She wrote such a novel with such an image, which had a very bad social impact. Everyone looked at male and female writers with tinted glasses, which seriously damaged the reputation of the Literary Association. She should be excluded from the association. "

Listen, listen, who is not interested?
Since Cao Wannian dared to recommend it, he must have some in stock. Wang Yuanchao flipped through them:
The novel tells a story of "polyamory". The heroine married a doctor in anger to avenge her lover's infidelity. Unexpectedly, after marriage, she found that her former lover had become her sister-in-law's husband, and her husband's brother harassed her in every way. As a result, she was finally trapped in the contradiction between desire and moral repentance, unable to extricate herself.

Of course, it also touches on the deepest desires and love in human nature, and involves some ethical confusion, which is a bit of a taboo at the moment.

Wang Yuanchao immediately made the decision, what does his restricted area in Yizhou have to do with Xiangjiang? !

It's done!

Cao Wannian's eyes immediately lit up, he finally met a wise leader!

Liu Heqing brought in two photographers and three screenwriters from outside. Now everyone has to wait for the rice to cook, and there is work to do, so they don't pick and choose.

Screenwriters and journalists have one thing in common: they both need to write.

Wang Yuanchao had to check each other's reporters and editors one by one.

Horse racing, dog betting, entertainment gossip, you have to be good at something.

Everything is ready, only waiting for the east wind.
