The rise of Hong Kong's wealthy families

meeting room

He Jiahao called the heads of the four departments and said, "I plan to make another magazine. The office next to it is still vacant. I will rent it as an office for the new magazine employees."

The four of them were all shocked. This "FHM" magazine had just released its first issue and they were starting to work on a new magazine. The pace was a bit fast and scary.

Liang Zhenxun came forward and said, "Boss, why don't you wait a little longer? The company's funds can't keep up. It would be safer to wait until "FHM" is completely stabilized before allocating funds to create a new magazine."

To run a new magazine, there will definitely be no fewer people than FHM. If the new magazine does not perform well, it may affect FHM's 20% dividend. After all, there are twice as many people.

This is something that no one in the "FHM" team is willing to do.

He Jiahao understands everyone's thoughts very well, and it is human nature to plan for his own interests, and he can understand it.

"Don't worry, everyone. The funds for the creation of the new magazine will not be transferred from FHM. My personal funds can still support it. The revenue of the two magazines will be settled separately."

After hearing this, everyone felt relieved. The boss had money to continue to publish the magazine. What else could they say except agreeing. The boss came to inform today and it was already a big honor.

In fact, the new magazine that Ho Ka-Hao wants to launch is "YES!" 》, mainly targeted at teenagers and middle school students, is a youth-type magazine.

In the previous life, "YES!" " is the collective memory of those born in the 80s and 90s, and has made many amateur stars popular, such as Cecilia Cheung, Yang Ying and other stars. The cover is similar to "FHM", with an amateur chosen to take the photo.

However, the content tends to be about topics that teenagers like, such as sexual enlightenment, campus fun, and comedy. After becoming famous, pen pals will be recruited to answer some personal questions for young people.

As a result, He Jiahao published "Citywide Wanted" in Oriental Daily, and a large number of media talents flocked to Yun Zhimeng.

After a whole day of interviews, He Jiahao found two or three suitable candidates.

Maybe the vision has become higher.

In order to get out better, except for the editorial department, the interviews for the rest of the departments were handed over to you Qin Haiming, which made Qin Haiming excited for a long time.

Back to the office

Assistant Luo Tang came in and said, "Miss Chen Yulian, who is interviewing the girl, is here. Do you want to start the interview?"

"Well, let her come in." He Jiahao nodded and said.

Liang Zhenxun found the girl for the second period of the gang, but the only girl for the third period was Chen Yulian who came for the interview. He Jiahao felt a little disappointed. Didn't the famous sisters watch "FHM"? Don’t you want to be more famous?

He Jiahao didn't know how famous Chen Yulian was in her previous life, because when she passed away, He Jiahao was sensible.

Soon, a beautiful woman walked in under the leadership of Luo Tang.

After the introduction, the two sat on the sofa.

He Jiahao carefully looked at the woman in front of him. She was tall, with long black hair, fair skin, and a delicate feeling. She was a beauty, but she only met the standard of a first-class beauty. She was suitable to be a cover girl.

"Where is Miss Chen from?" He Jiahao looked through some simple background information about Chen Yulian.

Chen Yulian was born on March 25, 1960 in Tiu Keng Leng, Hong Kong. She is 164cm tall. She dropped out of school in the fifth form and now wants to be an actor.

"A native of Xiangjiang." Chen Yulian's voice was a bit high.

Looking at this boss who was only two years older than herself, Chen Yulian seemed less nervous.

"Seventeen years old! You should have seen the cover of "FHM". Can you accept a photo of that size?" He Jiahao didn't waste any time and asked directly. He would have to interview the editor later.

"Yes!" Chen Yulian scratched the corner of her clothes. It was obvious that the level was already at the extreme edge and she was desperately trying to endure it.

He Jiahao thought for a while and said, "You are a newcomer, and the shooting fee is only one thousand yuan."

"Okay!" Chen Yulian nodded, looking very well-behaved.

"Let's do this, ask my assistant to take you to sign the contract, and leave a phone number. I will notify you to come over for filming." He Jiahao stood up and called Luo Tang to come in.

"Boss, can you give me five hundred yuan in advance? I need the money very much." Chen Yulian spoke hurriedly, even though she knew it was against the rules.

He Jiahao was silent for a moment and then agreed.

Coming from a poor family, I can understand how difficult it is for Chen Yulian to speak.

In the afternoon, I interviewed several editors and finally found eight editors. The editor-in-chief was a young man named Wang Xiaohua, who was thirty-three years old. According to the previous progress bar of "FHM", the new magazine "OH! "The recruitment of editors has been completed. Including the onboarding time, it will take about two weeks. "OH! "The first issue will be published.

He sat in the office chair, his face a little bitter, and now he no longer had any extra money to spend casually.

"'Kunlun'? Yes, there are also novels." Thinking of the source of funds, He almost jumped for joy, so he took a taxi and rushed to Oriental Daily Press with the manuscript he had written.

It was the young lady at the front desk again. He Jiahao stepped forward and jokingly said, "You should know me this time. Do you want Editor Zhao to pick me up?"

"No, no, please come with me." The lady at the front desk waved her hands quickly, then stood up and quickly led the way.

Editor-in-Chief's Office

"Giggle! Editor-in-chief, Mr. He is here." The receptionist opened the door after hearing "come in" and said to Zhao Yi, who was immersed in work.

"Haha, what brought you here?" Zhao Yi walked over from his seat and shook hands with He Jiahao.

"The wind who is short of money!" He Jiahao held the other party's hand and said with a wry smile.

Zhao Yi was stunned, then laughed and said, "Are you short of money? I heard that your new magazine "FHM" has sold 50,000 copies. It's a real cash cow."

"It's a good cash cow, but after investing several million, and now I want to create a new magazine, I'm very short of money." He Jiahao sighed helplessly.

Zhao Yi thought for a while and said excitedly, "Would you like me, Oriental Daily, to take a stake in your new magazine? It would be good if I take a three-thirds share."

Looking at the three raised fingers, He Jiahao shook his head, took out a stack of paper, and said, "We don't need foreign aid for the time being. If necessary, I will notify you as soon as possible. This is the remaining manuscript of "Kunlun", one One million and two hundred thousand words.”

"Okay!" Zhao Yi stopped smiling, picked up the manuscript and read it carefully.

He Jiahao sat aside quietly and did not disturb Zhao Yi.

After more than half an hour, Zhao Yi read the manuscript and said, "According to the previously agreed 50 yuan per thousand words, the total is 60,000."

Zhao Yi took out his checkbook and wrote one to He Jiahao.

"He Sheng is really amazing. One copy of "Men's Gang" has made the water in Hong Kong even more turbulent. With another book, I'm afraid no one in this circle will dare to underestimate He Sheng."

"What the hell! I just got the upper hand. If it weren't for the royalties, I'm afraid even FHM wouldn't be able to be released." He Jiahao said modestly.

Even though Zhao Yi is so easy to deal with, he is actually an old fox. If he can buy a stake in the magazine, he will most likely be eaten away.
