Rebirth: Becoming a Tycoon from Hong Kong in 1977

Chapter 105: July Merit, Broken Cauldron and Sinking Boat, Governor Council Letter! Lin family!!

Three days later, at one o’clock in the afternoon.

It’s September, and the autumn breeze is cool and pleasant.

Jordan Road in Yau Tsim Mong District has always been only a traffic bypass on Hong Kong Island.

Today, however, Jordan Road is a change of normal.

The already not too wide lane was jammed with dense traffic, unable to move forward.

Horns and curses came one after another.

And this, all because there is a large group of people walking side by side in front of the road, men, women and children are crowded, it is estimated that there must be three or four hundred people, blocking the small lane without a gap.

These people were wrapped in a black veil on their arms, their faces were solemn, and they silently followed the leading man in the same direction, ignoring the surrounding ~ horns.

The fence next to the driveway is full of people rubbing shoulders.

Looking at this rare scene with novelty, he exchanged ears from time to time to discuss the reason for this matter.

A group of reporters carrying long guns and short cannons continued to squeeze through the crowd and run to the front, causing a wave of scolding.

“Rush the street, squeeze what to squeeze, my shoes let you step on…”

“Don’t squeeze, Vozh, my bag, who broke my bag…”

“Sorry, let Jean, sorry, let a way, I’m a reporter of Sing Tao Evening News, let me go over to shoot…”

“Let your ancestors, dead paparazzi, my special bag is broken, catch you, don’t want to run, a sequoia fish, lose money.”

“I’m a reporter from Sing Tao Evening News, not a paparazzi, pretty boy, let me pass, I’m in a hurry to shoot the material…”

“The reporter is not a paparazzi, what are you barking at the dog, quickly lose money, buy it for a hundred yuan, quickly pay for it.”

“Compensation, I pay, give it to you, put it away, let me pass.”

“It’s about the same, let’s go over.”

“Oh, thank you”

“Oh, sleeping, I Nima, who squeezed me, which early dead boy stepped on my foot with leather shoes, it hurts, Vozh!”

“Sorry, sorry, I’m a reporter for the Express, this gentleman, let me pass, there is no time.”

“Step on my foot, ask me to let it, pounce, what about the reporter of the express newspaper, I will trample you to death, and return your foot.”

“Shhh~, big brother, sorry, if you are satisfied, let me live for a while, if you are not comfortable, it is no problem to step on me again.”

“Forget it, the attitude is so good, let you go first.”

“Thank you, thank you, Don, hurry up and keep up.”

Such a scene inevitably happens many times in a dense crowd.

Soon after, a number of reporters crowded into the front row of the melon-eating masses.

The assistant carrying the camera kept taking pictures of the crowd walking silently in the middle of the road.

“Oh, why are you here at Sing Tao Newspaper, aren’t you Sing Tao Daily’s old owner, and you still need to come here to grab news with us, just find a few people to interview you and don’t have a topic.”

“If you want to care, I’m the Sing Tao Evening News, can’t I pat the material?”

“Hehe, the evening newspaper doesn’t belong to Sing Tao Daily, hey, no, the evening newspaper is a little maid of the daily newspaper, no wonder.”

“Pounce on your mother, your mouth is really cheap.”

“Okay, you all have to, you are all people who eat this bowl of rice, scold each other, what’s the meaning, it’s not that you look down on yourself.”

“What kind of peacemaker are you, you from the Economic Daily, what kind of excitement?”

“Nima’s, you idiot, so many people went to the streets to gather and make trouble, and finally made a big noise, a little economic loss is not very normal, and it may have an impact on some industries, economic newspapers, isn’t it this kind of thing reported, I came just right.”

“Sleeping, still scolding me?”

“Don’t argue, it’s better to discuss what these people are going to do, such a big battle, blocking the lane, I haven’t seen it for many years, I still wear a black veil on my arm, and I don’t know what big thing to do.”

“Grass, I don’t know, as soon as I heard that there was a big blockage here, I quickly ran over.”

“What to do, I don’t know, anyway, it must be big news, this month’s bonus has fallen.”

“Haha, that’s right, but I just found out about this, and I thought that the boss of some society died violently and mourned it.”

“Are you stupid, the old assembly of the society has placed the spiritual hall here? Where is this, Jordan Road, less than a hundred meters from the intersection of Gashiju Road, what department is there on Gasju Road, you won’t be unclear, right? ”

“Sleeping, Bu Zhengsi, shouldn’t these people be ready to attack the Bu Political Secretary?”

“Impossible, these people are so bold? Cloth political secretary, this is the chief policy adviser of the Hong Kong governor, and at the same time the chief executive of the Hong Kong government, the supreme spokesperson, these are dead, dare to attack the secretary? ”

“I think, it may not be big, no matter how bold it is, it can’t be like this, this is against the Hong Kong government, can it be that so many people want to enter Stanley?”

“It is possible that these people feel that the law does not blame the public.”

“It’s not necessarily about impacting the secretary, you’re thinking too much. I didn’t see that these people didn’t hold banners, I see, they just want the director to come out and administer justice. Jiayi has now been out of business for almost a month, more than 800 employees, basically all of them are owed wages, this money, after waiting for so long, there is no way to say it now. ”

“Hey, you say this, it’s really possible, Jiayi is such a big company, who would have thought that it would collapse if it collapsed, caught off guard, no one thought of it.”

“That is, so many people suddenly have no source of livelihood, can they not make trouble.”

“Grass, there are six major shareholders behind Jiayi, not to mention anything else, just say that among the six major shareholders, the Lin family, the founder of Hang Seng Bank, and Jardine Matheson & Co., then there is more money, just take out a little, it is enough for salary, who would have thought that it would collapse.”

“Having money is their business, what can you do if you don’t take it out?” Others just don’t want to take it. ”

“It’s ugly to eat.”

“You guys think wrong, the leader of Jiayi is commercial radio, the debt should be borne by commercial radio stations, commercial radio stations do not want to pay, how can Lin Xiufeng and Jardine Matheson be the boss of this injustice.”

“That’s what I said.”

“I heard that Lin Xiufeng wants to wholly control Jiayi, but the Hong Kong government does not agree, and he can’t take the money if he wants to?”

“And this thing? What’s going on, let’s talk about it. ”

“At first glance, you didn’t pay attention to the economic side, in 77, Jiashi internal restructuring, consumed a lot of funds, so the introduction of the Lin family’s capital With the increasing capital injection by Lin Xiufeng, the Hong Kong government believes that this may conflict with the terms of the license. Therefore, the Governor’s Council, the Joint Executive/Political Department ordered the Television Advisory Committee to investigate in December of the same year. After the investigation, a letter directly hit Jiashi, ordering the rectification of some affairs related to the company’s organization, and Lin Xiufeng could only hold those shares after that, and he couldn’t increase his capital. ”

“Sleeping, you can’t collect the money, what is this for? Brain watt? ”

“Silly you, who is the old bean who passed away from Lin Xiufeng? Lin Bingyan, who has developed in the past few decades, has been taking funds to develop in Dalu. Now the Hong Kong government is still dominated by the sun never sets, what kind of nature do you think about this? Can the governor of Hong Kong promise Lin Xiufeng to take control of the TV station? Therefore, Lin Xiufeng has no problem investing in Jiayi, and it is okay to make money if he wants to, and he will not care about selling the Hong Kong government, but it is absolutely impossible to increase his capital to completely control Jiashi and control this important mouthpiece. ”

“Hey, what kind of broken thing this ghost guy has done, no one is allowed to take shares, and the salary cannot be paid, it is still us ordinary citizens who suffer.”

“Grass, those ghosts care about your ordinary people’s life and death, as long as Jiayi is not controlled by the Lin family, it will go bankrupt, what’s the big deal.”

“I guess that it was the letter that hit Jiayi last year, without Lin Xiufeng’s financial support, so Jiayi ran out of funds and collapsed this year, which is not unpleasant.”

“Sleeping, you said this, it’s true, a month before the collapse, Jiayi didn’t plan [July Merit], I thought it was going to rise, but I didn’t expect it to be a last-ditch effort.”

“Spray spray~, the broken cauldron is sunk, it’s really a bit tragic.”

“July merit, it’s awesome to think about, it’s really imposing. A large-scale publicity campaign across Hong Kong Island featured full-page advertisements in newspapers for several days and audio tapes were distributed at Tsim Sha Tsui Pier to promote the new programme. The float, the schedule, I was stunned, but I didn’t expect to end up in a collapse. ”
