Chapter 234 The More You Scold, the More Famous You Become

All of a sudden, newspapers from all walks of life began to criticize Phoenix Daily.

Because Phoenix Daily doesn't focus on the real issue and people's livelihood, most of its so-called news is related to that kind of thing, and it's more like a story than news.

Therefore, various newspapers, either directly or implicitly, criticized it for not guiding people to be good or teaching them to distinguish right from wrong, but instead teaching them to indulge in pleasure, become addicted to gambling, and boast about obscene culture, thus corrupting social morals.

Even the president Liu Heqing came to ask what to do. Many of the employees were under pressure from being scolded by their friends and relatives. Moral people can be found everywhere.

I can only say that everyone still has some ethics.

Wang Yuanchao has only one trick: you can curse as you like, and I will do mine and give out red envelopes to everyone.

For the sake of the red envelopes, the employees turned a blind eye and a deaf ear to the insults.

After all, no one can resist money.

Despite being attacked by many newspapers, Phoenix Daily did not show any signs of decline, but instead became more and more courageous.

The Hong Kong authorities are well-known for their leniency, not to mention that Phoenix Daily has also been recognized within the authorities.

The more fiercely the newspapers cursed, the more curious the uninformed citizens became. What kind of newspaper could be so outrageous?

But once you start reading, you will be attracted not only by the horse and dog stories, but also by the celebrity gossip and the strange and trivial things in the market, not to mention the two pornographic novels. Once you start reading, you can't stop.

Many people are thin-skinned and would just buy a copy of Phoenix Daily to criticize!
Therefore, Phoenix Daily not only did not repent, but instead recruited a large number of people. After all, its development momentum was strong and it must press on.

Many businesses have begun to come to us with checks, seeking cooperation.

Many reporters and editors also began to recommend themselves, hoping to grow together with Phoenix Daily.

The newspapers then felt something was wrong. They were helping the shameless Phoenix to promote itself!

So everyone shut up and didn't mention it.

Some tabloids have already started plagiarizing. There are many tabloids in Hong Kong, and they don't seek to get rich, but to have enough food and clothing.

Major newspapers have to save their reputation and can only learn from others.

But these days, everyone’s life is not easy. I don’t want to watch those sermons. I just want to have some fun and feel refreshed.

As long as Phoenix Daily does not go wrong, it is only a matter of time before it becomes the leader in Hong Kong's newspaper industry.

The Daily Newspaper had made a good start, and Wang Yuanchao could save himself a lot of worries. He still had a lot of tricks to use, but it had become the top newspaper in Hong Kong.

It’s over 80,000, what else do you want?
Phoenix Daily didn't even celebrate on its front page to avoid sparking envy and hatred from other newspapers.

Wang Yuanchao began to shift his focus to internal integration. After all, the team was short and had limited cohesion.

Business matters are basically left to the president and editor-in-chief.

Zhou Qibang also called to congratulate him and wanted to treat him to a meal.

I didn’t make much money and am currently losing money. In addition, I had to make additional investments in the middle. The cost of those beautiful picture magazines is not low.

But the reputation of the daily spread too quickly.

It was mainly the two battles between radio and newspapers, which were fought one after another and very beautifully.

The radio stations are still taking advantage of the situation, but the newspapers are making a strong breakthrough.

Zhou Xinian was full of praise and praised his second son Zhou Qibang highly.

Facing Zhou Qibang's congratulations, Wang Yuanchao was very self-aware and said:
"It's inseparable from Brother Qibang's silent support! Otherwise, how could Fenghuang get first-hand information about horse racing and be able to do what others cannot do?"

Zhou Qibang naturally knows his value here, but his value has not changed. Why doesn’t anyone come to him to cash in?

After all, it is his younger brother who is talented.

So he laughed and said:

"Don't be modest, brother. We are called the best partners, hahaha! Now many people think that the second son of the Zhou family is also a business genius!"

Wang Yuanchao also laughed. Seeing Zhou Qibang laughing like that, he thought that these many people were probably referring to Zhou Qibang's father and brother.

For Zhou Qibang, what could be more gratifying than the recognition from his father and brother?
As a big family, it is good to know how to employ people. The only shortcoming is the shares. Zhou Qibang got a little too little, but no one can mention this. It was all done by the second son himself. Who would have thought that he would become so famous, right?
Wang Yuanchao said:

"Brother Qibang, the daily newspaper is selling well this time, and the Lotte Pictorial at the beginning is also a great support to us."

Zhou Qibang was very smart. He knew that what the little brother said was not aimless, so he immediately asked:

"You and Miss Letty?"

Wang Yuanchao said:

“A friend, a friend introduced me to you.

The chat was okay. I don't know if you have seen her photo albums, but she designed all her clothes herself.

Didn’t you and your sister-in-law say before that you were interested in developing a career in branded clothing and the fashion industry? I think working with Letty Ortiz would be a good choice.

She is famous and has a good temperament. When she wears it in the movie, she is a natural living advertisement!"

Zhou Qibang hissed and said:
“That makes some sense.

You mentioned Letty specifically, and I thought you were having some conflict with her, little brother!

Just like what you said in the newspaper, the film industry is very chaotic.

Brother, you are young, don't be blinded by them.

My sister-in-law is very beautiful, isn't she?"

Still a kind brother!

Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"Brother Qibang, we can say this as brothers, but don't say it in front of Xiaoliu. Her mother, well, was also a movie star in the 1950s!"

Zhou Qibang exclaimed,
"Oh, luckily I didn't say anything nonsense. No wonder you acted so early, it would be better if you acted earlier. Hmm. Let me ask, who is my sister-in-law's mother?"

There is nothing to hide, Wang Yuanchao said:

"Wang Danfeng returned to the mainland in the early 50s to develop her career, and only moved her family to Hong Kong last year." Zhou Qibang said, with some impression, but not much memory, so he went back to ask someone. So he said:

"Brother, let me be honest, that's much better.

The atmosphere and thoughts there are much purer than those in Hong Kong."

Wang Yuanchao said:

"Brother Qibang, do you want to talk to Letty?

She is currently preparing a modern fashion drama, which will include a lot of modern costumes. I think it's a good opportunity.

If you and your sister-in-law want to try something else."

Zhou Qibang said:

"Then wait for me. I need to talk to your sister-in-law again. I don't think it will be a big problem. So how many shares should we give to Letty?"

Wang Yuanchao immediately got the word "we" and said:

"Hey, I'll just help you make some connections. I'm your little brother. I have a fan factory, a commercial radio station, a newspaper, and a plastic factory that's about to give birth. I'm really too busy to handle it all."

Zhou Qibang said seriously:

"How about that?
You must come together, we brothers always act together!

Besides, if you don't participate, I'm afraid your sister-in-law will not be at ease working with Letty. Think about it, isn't this reasonable?"

Zhou Qibang felt that tying up Wang Yuanchao was a good thing without any cost. It was a matter for everyone, so it was only natural for him to ask Wang Yuanchao for help. Otherwise, if it happened too many times and it had nothing to do with Wang Yuanchao, he would have to use up his favor.

As for his wife's worry, it's just an excuse.

Since Wang Yuanchao specifically mentioned that Lydia Loh, he must have agreed to something from that Lydia Loh. He has been working with the little brother for nearly half a year and is somewhat familiar with some of his habits and temperament.

Sure enough, Wang Yuanchao was silent for a while and said:
"How about I take 10%?"

Zhou Qibang said:

"It's too little, maybe 30%. If you take a little more, you'll be more concerned."

Zhou Qibang took less than 10% of the revenue from the Commercial Radio and the newspaper. He basically didn't manage anything except bringing people in and making introductions. Of course, he knew that the value of his introductions was definitely more than that, but he had no interest in these two industries at that time.

Therefore, Wang Yuanchao must participate more in what he is interested in.

Wang Yuanchao said:

"In that case, Letty's side..."

Wang Yuanchao wanted to talk about the 30 points that Lotte had cooperated with him, but Zhou Qibang interrupted him directly and said:

"10 points, Lotte will definitely flock to them! Not everyone is qualified to cooperate with my Zhou family, don't you think?"

Good brother, you are so generous...

Wang Yuanchao thought about it and felt that what Zhou Qibang said made sense. Even if he asked Letty to be a designer or a spokesperson, he would not give her 10 points of stock. 10 points was purely a face-saving measure for Wang Yuanchao.

Zhou Qibang had a friendship with Wang Yuanchao, but not with Lydia. On the contrary, he even had a bit of prejudice against her.

He found that sometimes, his mind was not as complicated as he thought.

"Then it's up to you!"

Zhou Qibang smiled and said:
"Wait for my news!"

Zhou Qibang really values ​​his younger brother Wang Yuanchao. Since he has been working with this younger brother, even his father, Sir Zhou Xinian, has praised him highly.

Money, he has no shortage of money, he just wants to do something he likes!

"Oh, by the way, from the 30th of this month to the 4th of next month, there will be a 'Hong Kong Week' that my father is in charge of.

In addition to encouraging Hong Kong people to use Hong Kong products and increasing their confidence in local industrial production, the event also promotes Hong Kong-made products to people around the world.

Would your fan factory and that plastic factory like to participate together?

I heard the Governor will also be there!"

This event is organized by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, and the chairman of the organizing committee is Sir Stephen Chow, Chairman of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council and founder of the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce.

What Wang Yuanchao didn’t know was that this was the only session held in history.

This specification is the official promotion conference!
Although Shenlan’s production capacity is full and the plastic factory has not yet started production, you may meet the right customer by going there to check your face. Who would complain about having too many customers?

"Then you have to go!"

Zhou Qibang said:

"I'll have someone send you an invitation, hahaha."

Deep Blue’s flagship product is ceiling fans, and Horton’s foreign trade company will buy as many of them as it has.

But he also knew that this price would not last too long, maybe another half a year, or at most more than half a year.

Therefore, we must plan ahead and find more big customers.

Apart from this single product, there is nothing else to show for it.

Should he come up with some fancy products? But even if he did, he didn’t have the production capacity.

Never mind, I have to come up with some new tricks first. Otherwise, I will be outdone by Shell and have no other customers. Won’t I be controlled by Horton in the future?

As for the plastic toy factory, more than half a month has passed, so we can at least show off some simple products, right?

Mixed colors are not okay, but single colors are not a problem, as there are still many single-color toys.

Wang Yuanchao couldn't sit still anymore and prepared to go to Shenlanhe Plastic Factory to take a look.
