Rebirth: Becoming a Tycoon from Hong Kong in 1977

Chapter 112 Newspaper Merger and Reorganization, Expulsion and Solicitation, Radio Station License!!

Kwun Tong District, Kowloon, Starry Sky Cultural Building.

Chairman’s Office.

[On September 17, the High Court appointed Receiver Hoss as Jiayi’s provisional liquidator and took over all of Jiayi’s assets.

At two o’clock the next afternoon, more than 500 artists who were owed wages went to petition outside the door of the secretary.

He sat quietly outside the gate of the Hong Kong Ceremonial Mansion for an hour and a half wrapped in black veil.

Headed by He Juhua, editor and chief anchor of Jiayi News, he submitted a petition signed by Jiayi employees.

Ask Secretary Howth to stop the bankruptcy liquidation of Jiayi.

In addition, we will pursue all the responsibilities of Jiashi, resume the broadcast of TV stations as soon as possible, and protect the employment rights and interests of TV professionals.

Because the gathering was not declared to the Hong Kong government in advance, the mighty crowd caused misunderstanding.

The Operations Department of the Police Force dispatched a storm trooper to deal with emergencies, and at the same time, a large number of police officers surrounded Jiayi employees, forming a deadlock.

Subsequently, in view of the delay in Director Howth’s appearance, the request was not answered, and the senior inspector of the Police Force, Ge Leung-bi, ordered the arrest of the leader, Ho Juhua.

Taken together, the petitioning crowd suddenly became emotional, wanting to forcibly break into the building and clash fiercely with the police officers guarding in front of the building.

A large number of police officers armed with shields formed a line of defense in front of the building.

However, due to the limited police force, the scene was stalemated for less than ten minutes, and when it was time to see that the defense line was about to be broken, the stormtroopers made a quick decision and threw a large number of tear gas bombs, breaking the madness of the crowd.

and began to arrest Jiayi employees who were still staying at the scene.

At this time, the Jiayi production team, life production assistant Zhang Mingzhong, wrapped a remote control bomb around his waist, in this way, he wanted Director Hoss to make a statement on this matter.

Under such crises, Secretary Hoss still did not appear, but was fully commissioned, and Senior Inspector Ge Liangbi relayed his opinions.

Inspector Ge Liangbi said that he fully agreed with all the demands of Jiayi employees.

And we will carefully consider and discuss a new plan to protect the interests of TV professionals.

Under Ge Liangbi’s paraphrase.

Zhang Mingzhong untied the bomb tied to his waist.

However, at this moment, the bombs placed on the ground began to emit thick smoke.

At the moment when the bomb was about to explode, a police officer bravely stood up.

At this moment, the police officer resolutely threw the bomb into the open space without people, which avoided casualties.

After the bomb exploded, a deep crater with a diameter of up to two metres and a depth of half a metre appeared in front of the Cloth Secretary building.

Subsequently, Inspector Ge Liangbi ordered the arrest of Zhang Mingzhong, and after this, the crowd spontaneously dispersed under the admonition of Inspector Ge Liangbi. 】

[After the incident, Director Will of the Operations Department of the Kowloon East Regional Police Force and Minister Louis of the Regional Support Department of Kowloon West jointly held a press conference.

At the meeting, the two ministers expressed their appreciation for Inspector Ge Liangbi’s calm response and perfect resolution of the crisis.

At the same time, the two ministers announced the results of the investigation into the suspect Zhang Mingzhong.

According to Zhang Mingzhong’s confession, the source of the bomb was purchased by him in a hidden underground trading place.

Before the purchase, Zhang Mingzhong made it clear that what he needed was a bomb model with a realistic appearance and no power inside.

But due to the deception of the stall owner, Zhang Mingzhong got a powerful bomb.

The unstable nature of the homemade bomb, the kinetic energy brought after landing on the ground activates the detonation device.

Regarding Zhang Mingzhong’s dangerous behavior, He Juhua also organized illegal gatherings without declaration.

The court has prosecuted both men for their violations at the same time.

The two ministers said that at 8 p.m. that day, they had quickly swept away the illegal underground trading venue provided by Zhang Mingzhong.

Moreover, the Police Force is negligent in the proliferation of anti-personnel weapons, and will continue to combat such illegal transactions without tolerating them. 】

[Secretary for Political Affairs Hoss expressed his position on the incident, saying that he would carefully consider the common demands of all employees of Jiayi.

In view of the establishment of the Hong Kong government, this is the first incident of citizens attacking the secretary.

Director Hoss said that “illegal assembly” was not ruled out for all professional entertainers.

of prosecutions.

Allegedly, the matter is still under discussion]

From several newspapers, useful information was presented.

Song Tianyao closed the newspaper, took a sip of tea, and smiled with satisfaction.

Things went as he expected.

Under the threat of his family, Zhang Mingzhong did not reveal the slightest bit of the truth You Jidong only won the title of a brave police officer in the newspaper, and other than that, there was no information to disclose.

Song Tianyao was not surprised at all, although You Jidong’s name did not appear in the newspaper, the police department would never ignore You Jidong’s merits.

Promotion is a sure thing, the rest is only a matter of time.

As for the promotion of two levels, how much, this is not within his expectation, Director Hoss’s statement, it can be said that he was trapped by a fishing boat.

There are some differences from what Song Tianyao knew in his previous life.

After all, things are making such a big noise now.

If you want to directly liquidate Jiayi, it is not so simple.

Hoss had to consider the fishing boats of the citizens of Hong Kong Island, whether he could sit firmly in his position, and whether he could continue to be re-elected as the director.

And that’s his chance.

Thinking of this, Song Tianyao dialed the special line at hand and said, “Secretary Qin, let Manager Yan come to my office.” ”

“Okay, Chairman.”

A gentle response came from across the microphone.

Hanging up the phone, Song Tianyao lit a cigarette and began to think about the development of the company.

It didn’t take long.

There was a knock on the office door.

Song Tianyao extinguished the smoke in the ashtray and shouted, “Come in!” ”

“Chairman, are you looking for me?”

Yan Xuehai pushed open the door and walked in, respectfully greeting.

“Sit down, there are some things that need to be done for you.”

Song Tianyao walked to the rest place and sat down, and said with a gentle smile.

“Chairman, you said!”

Nodding, Yan Xuehai took out a small notebook from his inner pocket.

“Well prepared.”

Song Tianyao said with a satisfied smile.

“After all, the brain forgets, and the notes do not disappear.”

Yan Xuehai grinned.

“That’s right.”

Song Tianyao nodded, did not extend on this topic, it was time to get down to business, and asked: “Manager Yan, how many newspapers are there under Starry Sky Culture?” What are they? ”

There were too many newspaper companies acquired before, too complicated, and the value was not high, so Song Tianyao did not understand it in detail, and at the same time, he did not interfere in the affairs of the newspaper and let his subordinates deal with it themselves.

“Chairman, Star Culture has a total of 27 newspapers, taking into account film, sports, economy, photography, art and other aspects.”

Yan Xuehai blurted out like a treasure.

“Merge all newspapers with duplicate operations, fire all those who cannot afford to occupy positions, give them severance pay, and arrange competent people. I believe that you can do this. Also, the prefix of each newspaper was changed to Starry Sky Newspaper, which was distinguished by business aspects, such as Starry Economic Times, Starry Sky Entertainment Times. At the same time, various newspapers opened supplements, don’t waste such a good time at two o’clock in the afternoon, and open evening newspapers uniformly, understand? ”

Song Tianyao ordered.

Twenty-seven newspapers, of which there must be multiple newspaper businesses overlapping, and walking on multiple legs together has advantages, but also disadvantages.

The advantage is naturally that more advertising money can be absorbed.

After all, the advertising space of a newspaper is so large, there are more newspaper offices, and the advertisements are distributed somewhere, and the income is naturally more.

But the disadvantages are also obvious, wasting more human resources, and giving people a sense of miscellaneous but not spermless.

Advertising costs are not much higher.

To sum up, it still does more harm than good, so it is better to merge as well.

The reason why Song Tianyao didn’t care about it before was because Star Culture had not yet become an important part of the media group, and the newspaper could not play its greatest role.

Now, the license of the radio and television station is in front of us, and the opportunity has come, and it is natural to start to develop in terms of specialization.

The two can be added together to exert greater power.

“Chairman, the original newspaper didn’t want to open supplements and evening newspapers, but the advertising fee could not support such a large scale, so it would let go of such a good time period.”

Yan Xuehai roughly explained, and continued: “However, now that the chairman of the board of directors supports you, there will not be much problem, and I will implement this matter as soon as possible.” ”

“Very well, after the merger, Hong Kong Island will recruit professionals from all aspects, hire them with high salaries, and can guarantee them that the restructured newspaper does not look at seniority, only at ability, telling them that as long as they have the ability, they can take important positions.”

Song Tianyao thought about it and said.

“Understood.”

Yan Xuehai nodded and wrote down the key points in his notebook.
