Chapter 78 Chief Advisor to the Governor of Hong Kong(1/2)
The news that "Minsheng Daily" was unblocked reached Ma Chengkun's ears.
He couldn't believe it.
After confirming again and again, I quickly called Simon.
When the call was connected, I couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Simon, how come the "People's Daily" was unblocked?"
This interrogatory tone made Simon very unhappy, because he didn't know why this newspaper was able to get the attention of No. 10 Downing Street.
However, thinking that he had accepted Ma Chengkun's "reporting evidence", he kindly reminded him, "This newspaper is beyond our control now. Mr. Ma, you should think about how to use normal means to compete."
After a pause, he added: "You can't afford to offend that person. I believe you are a smart person."
After hanging up the phone, Ma Chengkun's face turned gloomy, "Damn ghost!"
Received money but did nothing.
Now we are talking about using normal means to compete.
If he can compete with normal means, will he still spend money?
It’s not like the person named Xu who burned it if he had too much money.
"What should we do now?" Ma Tingqiang looked at Ma Chengkun.
The reopening of "Mins Ribao" is not good news for them.
After all, not everyone can be like them and use money as paper to burn.
Ma Chengkun's head turned rapidly. The person named Xu is now a pheasant that climbed up the branch and turned into a phoenix?
Although he and Simon and others were doing secret transactions, there was no guarantee that they would not be discovered.
After thinking carefully, Ma Chengkun said: "Call the uncle on the road to come out and invite Chen Shurong to have a cup of tea tonight, and by the way, I can find out the details about Xu."
He can no longer tolerate "Minsheng"'s free strategy. If this continues, his newspaper will close sooner or later.
If you can't shut down the human world, you can only fight and kill.
When doing business here, it is normal to fight and kill people, but after everyone cleans up, this kind of tactics will not be used.
The Ma brothers were puzzled.
Ming Pao, Sing Tao Daily, Sing Pao, etc. are also puzzled.
There are so many storms and so many sorrows.
Not only those who work in newspapers are confused, but William is also confused.
Doesn’t it mean that the newspaper has no background?
Why is there an order from No. 10 Downing Street?
He is very nervous now, worried that someone from the Independent Commission Against Corruption will come to his door to offer warmth.
Henry and Simon are also nervous, because they are also responsible for the seizure of "Min Ribao".
This may be the end of the world.
Why would that guy associate with an old woman in Downing Street?
Several people were uneasy.
They are all thinking about resigning and running away.
After all, they have collected a lot of illegal money over the years, but they have not been approached by the Independent Commission Against Corruption for the time being.
This is how a seizure ended with a lot of thunder and a small amount of rain.
……
As soon as Lin Jianren saw Xu Luo, he quickly apologized: "Boss, I'm sorry, I didn't like the newspaper."
"This is not your mistake. On the contrary, it is a good idea for you to compromise. We can re-open the newspaper office, but if something happens to someone, there is no way to recover it." Xu Luo did not take this matter to heart.
But Lin Jianren thought that he was too careless and did not notice the coming storm in advance.
Seeing Xu Luo put past the past now, that kind of gratitude arises spontaneously.
Xu Luo looked at Chen Shurong and Lin Jianren, "Next, we will start a full-scale counterattack. Mr. Lin, please go to the streets and spread the news that the seizure of Minsheng Daily was a malicious report by the Ma brothers."
"It turned out to be these two white boys, I should have been scolded more harshly!" Lin Jianren learned that he was arrested because of them, and naturally he couldn't suppress his anger.
Xu Luo continued: "Let this news spread for three to five days first. Then our newspaper will be opened. Not only must it be opened, but it must be opened with great fanfare to let everyone know."
"The second thing is, arrange a press conference for me tomorrow. Since I'm back, I have to come back with a bang."
"There are only these two things that we have to do now." Xu Luo glanced at Lin Jianren, "You just came back, you can rest for a few days first, don't be exhausted."
Lin Jianren shook his head and said with firm eyes: "Boss, I have been resting inside for several days. I can go to work at any time."
"Go home and spend time with your wife and children first, don't let them worry." Xu Luo waved his hand.
Since the boss said so, Lin Jianren did not insist anymore. After confirming that Xu Luo had nothing to say, he said goodbye and left.
Only Xu Luo and Chen Shurong were left in the office.
"How are things in Shenzhen now?" Xu Luo asked.
It has been two months since he left Hong Kong. The first thing he did when he came back was to understand the situation.
Chen Shurong said: "The leader has approved a piece of land for us in Luohu. According to the previously established plan, we have sold 316 units of off-plan apartments and have started construction."
"An electronics factory has also been established, called Shenke Electronics. The production line introduced from Sharp has begun production, but the mainland's industrial system is not equipped with the necessary equipment. Many things must be purchased from RB."
"However, the tape business has already begun. This thing is easier to make than a cassette player. There are many in Hong Kong that make blank tapes."
It is really difficult to operate an electronics factory now without supporting industrial foundation, so only those established companies can succeed.
But Xu Luo is not very interested in this electronics factory. Although this thing can sell well, the key components must be imported, and the price is several hundred. Not everyone can afford it now.<
/p>
Pirated tapes are much simpler. The duplicator is ready, the master tape is installed, the blank tape is installed, and production can be completed.
Of course, the threshold for this business is not high and a few people can produce it.
Pirated tapes are rampant.
So he wants to set up a brand and make the fake one look like the real thing.
"Has the brand of this tape been named?" Xu Luo asked.
Chen Shurong said: "I chose a name called 'Flying Saucer Record', which is also called UFO in English."
"UFO record?" Xu Luo was stunned and said after a few seconds: "It's okay to call it this name. Make it well. No matter what tape it is, regardless of copyright or not, just take it and rip it directly."

"That's all I have to report at the moment." Chen Shurong said, "There is nothing else during this period."
Xu Luo nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, go back to work first."
As soon as Chen Shurong left, the secretary came in and reported: "Boss, someone is here to visit."
"Who?" Xu Luo asked casually.
The secretary said, "Sir Keta, the Chief Secretary, and Sir Xia Dingji, the Financial Secretary."
The two major advisers to the Governor of Hong Kong?
"Invite them in."
A few seconds later, the office door was opened.
Three ghost guys appeared.
"Hello, gentlemen." Xu Luo stood up and greeted, "Welcome to our company, please take a seat."
A man in his early thirties stepped forward and said, "Hello Mac, I'm James. Please allow me to introduce you."
This name is so common in the UK, as there are people named John in the United States.
He pointed at another middle-aged man in his fifties and sixties, "This is Sir Jida."
"It turns out to be Sir Ji Da." Xu Luo was very familiar with this name, with a warm smile on his face: "Welcome Sir Ji Da and you two, please take a seat."
This person is not only the first Independent Commission Against Corruption Commissioner, but also the Chief Secretary to the Governor of Hong Kong, the head of Hong Kong’s civil servants, and the second-ranking figure in the British Hong Kong government.
James pointed to another person, "This is Sir Xia Dingji, Financial Secretary."
Xu Luo secretly wondered what the purpose of the visit by the Chief Secretary and Financial Secretary was.
Greet you with a smile on your face and ask someone to bring you coffee.
"Mac has become famous in the United States at a young age and is known as a genius economist. It is really admirable." Sir Ji Da also had a smile on his face, "We are here specifically to congratulate you."
"Thank you Sir Ji Da, Sir Xia Dingji and Mr. James for coming."
Xu Luo smiled and said, "I'm not a genius, I just work harder. The real ones who are really powerful are Sir Ji Da and Sir Xia Dingji."
"One takes the lead in establishing a clean culture in society; the other is the founder of Hong Kong's financial system and sets the Hong Kong government's financial management philosophy."
There is no money to brag to each other in business, so bragging is nothing.
