Chapter 1127 Lu Yu Tea Room, "YES! "Magazine

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket!Ask for a monthly pass!
The flashing neon signs flashed the words "Lu Yu's tea room". In Central, where every inch of land is expensive, a tea room occupies a whole building, and only Lu Yu has such a fortune.

This also shows the strength behind it.

On the first floor, there are many vacant places at the round table, but they are reserved for regular customers, and other guests have to go to the second and third floors to drink tea.

When the Queen of England visited Hong Kong in 1975, she also wanted to go to the former site of Lu Yu Tea House to taste authentic Cantonese tea.

Around the tea room, antique colored vases are filled with seasonal flowers of the current solar term, white glass wall lamps shine on the Italian colored glass paintings inlaid with Chinese-style teak relief frames, and the antique ceiling fans hanging on the ceiling rotate the light and shadow of annual rings.

On the walls, there are authentic framed paintings, calligraphy and calligraphy of famous people.

Mainly Chinese style, decorated with Western style, Lu Yu Tea House has the style of Lingnan, but it also retains the style of the French Concession in Magic City in the early Republic of China. It is also favored by celebrities, businessmen and literati, so it is also known as the "Rich Canteen".

Inside the hall, white shirts, black trousers, Tang suits, and old waiters carrying hot water pots to refill tea for guests shuttled through the crowds, adding a bit of human touch to this decades-old Lingnan teahouse.

Most of these old waiters are veterans who have worked here for decades, and each has its own personality, way of doing things, and speed.Let's be honest, they receive more tips each month than many people earn.

On the inner round table on the first floor, several cages of snacks and dishes are placed, and more than 15 years old Pu'er tea soup is brewed. The tea is full of fragrance, but it does not overwhelm the guests.

"I heard from Ah Ting that you are going to fly to Los Angeles at night, so I won't delay you?"

With sunken eye sockets, prominent brow bones, and a slight accent when speaking, Mr. Hu, who had a bright forehead, smiled and looked at Wu Xiaozu in front of him.

Mr. Hu, who had a square face, combed the middle and wore big-rimmed glasses, held a teapot to help wash the cups. Obviously, it was not easy for a man who could control big black-rimmed glasses.

"No, no, Hu Sheng, I'm actually on a plane late at night."

Wu Xiaozu hurriedly leaned over to take the teacup handed over by Mr. Hu, and whispered, 'Thank you Brother Ting. '

In fact, the plane has been delayed.

But when Hu Sheng invites him to drink tea, he naturally spends a lot of time.

"I have been eating the dishes of Lu Yu Tea House for decades. The rare thing is the four words "ordinary". It is always simple, authentic, and maintains the standard. A restaurant can maintain the same taste for decades. Enough."

Mr. Hu is wearing casual clothes, which is rare to see. Outside, you can see Mr. Hu is always meticulous in a suit and tie.

Wu Xiaozu and Hu Zhenting followed and nodded frequently.

Their generation of rich people lacked a little bit of the feeling of coming to Lu Yu's teahouse. The former first chose the Italian Peninsula, and then began to choose Guo Henian's Xiangji.

Hu Zhenting lingers in high-end restaurants and rarely visits Lu Yu.

"Here, the 'weekly dessert system' is still maintained. The dessert list changes every Monday, and the desserts often appear in different seasons.

So some snacks, missed this week, probably have to wait for a month or a season to reincarnate.

Eating dim sum pays attention to the season, if the season is not right, the taste will be wrong.Azu, you have to try this dessert. "

Mr. Hu smiled slightly with a pun, and personally picked up the 'serve chopsticks' next to him to pick up a piece of snack for Wu Xiaozu.

"Thank you Hu Sheng."

Wu Xiaozu nibbled and nodded slightly, "For me, the sweetness is just right, and this is the sweetness I can accept."

"That's right, it's too much, no matter how sweet it tastes, it will make you uncomfortable."

Hu Sheng also picked up a piece with a smile, Hu Zhenting quickly helped to pour tea, and at the same time whispered to Wu Xiaozu: "The representative of the board of directors of the Hu Foundation Macau Entertainment voted against the temporary motion of the shareholder meeting, and rejected He Chaoqiong's appointment in Australia. entertainment."

"Husheng..." Wu Xiaozu toasted quickly, replacing wine with tea.

"Don't get me wrong, Azu, it's not for you, nor is it because I'm dissatisfied with A Shen or Pan Qian, it's just because I always disapprove of proposing a temporary motion at the shareholders' meeting, so none of my representatives voted for it."

Hu Sheng took a sip of tea, looked up and said, "I really hope she can inherit my father's business."

Wu Xiaozu took the initiative to take the teapot and poured the tea for him, "Maybe He Sheng was in a hurry."

"Hehehe, you can see it."

Hu Sheng was in a good mood and was amused by Wu Xiaozu's words, pointing to a drawer of snacks in front of him, "Eating too many sweets is still a little greasy, so I need tea to relieve the greasy."

"Is it too late?" Mr. Hu added with a smile, and Hu Sheng nodded with a smile and didn't say much.

"I heard from Ah Ting that you like sports very much? Do you keep fit all year round? Do you know how to play football?" Hu Sheng asked with great interest.

"When I was in school, I played as a striker. I was nicknamed Kaka...uh...Van Basten." Wu Xiaozu boasted brazenly.

"Really? I only know that you play golf, but I don't know that you are very good at kicking waves." Mr. Hu couldn't help looking at Wu Xiaozu curiously.

How big are your shoes and how big are my feet.

You think I can only hit 1000 million golf balls, but you don't know that my powerful volley from the penalty area is even more amazing!
The strength and speed of each shot made the goalkeeper howl and howl in pain every time, unable to stop.

"Azu was planning to organize the star football team of Hong Kong Island to play in the Mainland." Mr. Hu helped to give a briefing.

"Hong Kong Island star football team? If you have a chance, I will definitely check your level. I haven't played football in recent years, but I liked it very much in the early years."

Hu Sheng smiled with interest and said: "The mainland is also vigorously developing football. If you have the opportunity, you can take the team to the mainland for exchanges and exchanges. Since 1977, football exchanges between China and Hong Kong have not been interrupted.

Back then in Beiping Gongti, the final of the International Football Invitational Tournament, the Chinese youth team played against the Hong Kong Island team was wonderful. "

"sure."

Wu Xiaozu responded with a smile, thinking that he would go back and learn the football rules of Superstar Ha all night... I don’t know if it’s okay to step back and touch porcelain to make a foul...

"We will definitely invite you to watch the game then."

"Okay." Hu Sheng smiled brightly, looking very approachable, but not as serious as Hu Zhenting usually said.

However, looking at his very well-behaved appearance, it is easy to understand.

The elders have strict tutoring.

The Hu family has always been known in the city for its strict family education, and Mr. Hu is also known for his strictness in the world.

No way, Hong Kong Island has been suppressed by the British Hong Kong government for so many years. If you are not careful, I am afraid that you will not have the current achievements.

foreseeable.

This year's evening, Wu Xiaozu's dinner with Mr. Hu may be more useful to some people than his big hand to brighten his muscles!

This favor is really big.

...

The next day, "YES! In the office area where the magazine is located, Feng Lifan, the senior writer of the magazine, is writing manuscripts at his desk.

But I vaguely heard a few editors and artists not far away talking enthusiastically about the change of ownership of the magazine.

This made her frown uncontrollably, pushed her black-rimmed glasses, and glanced over her cold and proud face expressionlessly, like a killer with no emotions.

uh~~
The few people who were discussing happily were instantly silent.

"Are you discussing here behind your back because you are afraid of getting fired? Or are you saying goodbye to each other?"

"Awei, do you know that the company plans to promote three of the four editors in charge recently, but you are the only one who is not there?"

"Xiaomei, why do the three of them secretly say that you are hypocritical, fake and artificial?"

Feng Lifan's three words directly embarrassed the three of them on the spot.

A cool breeze blew through the entire office area.

"YSE! "This youth entertainment magazine is basically full of light news, songs, and fashion reviews. The staff are all young people, and they get along well, but there are always exceptions.

Feng Fan, who has the indifferent face of the dean, is the exception.

Therefore, there is a saying inside the magazine, "Although Brother Joe and Brother Hua are the bosses, what everyone fears the most is the stinky face!" '

"So, it's working time."

Feng Lifan said a word lightly, and the three young people who were so frightened and panicked fled in a hurry, and the rest of the staff also leaned over their desks and did not dare to raise their heads, for fear that the fire at the city gate would harm the fish in the pond.

She stood up and looked at Shao Guohua who was standing beside him awkwardly.

"So, are they really right when they say that you and Ni Zhen want to sell magazines?"

Feng Lifan looked calmly at Shao Guohua, who was greasy, and Ni Zhen, who walked in carelessly.

""YES!" Although the sales of "YES!" have been good recently, you also know that the homogenization phenomenon in the market is very serious. We are not fully competitive. Now someone wants to invest in us, and Joe and I are indeed considering it. .” Shao Guohua explained embarrassingly: “We also want to benefit everyone.”

"Fanfan..." Ni Zhen showed a smile that he thought was full of charm.

"Do you know why Auntie Cleaning is so tired of cleaning the table at noon? You don't know, because it's really greasy. Mr. Ni, you can call me by my full name, or by my English name." Feng Lifan stared coldly. Ni Chen said.

It was very embarrassing at the scene.

At this moment, a bald head appeared from the side with a smile.

"It seems that you are Feng Lifan, the editor-in-chief of the magazine, and I am Mecca. This time, I am the investor representative for the acquisition of your newspaper..."

Mecca has a signature bald head and a goatee on his chin. Compared with before, he is much thinner and his cheekbones are prominent.

"Have you not been hacked to death by debt collectors? It is rumored that you have been fed to sharks..." Feng Lifan glanced at Mecca and said.

"..."

The corners of Mecca's eyes twitched, but he kept smiling, "I'm in Southeast Asia, and I just got off the plane today. It's all rumors in the world, and it can't be true. This time I'm returning to Hong Kong on behalf of my investors..."

"If there is a chance, I would like to visit you, Mr. Mecca." Feng Lifan looked at Mecca with bright eyes.

"There is a chance, there is a chance." Maijia cheekily laughed, and turned to look at the other two, "Ah Joe, Ah Hua?"

"This way please sir Mai."

"Come to my office."

Ni Zhen and Shao Guohua led Mai Jia and the assistant behind them towards the office.

Although "YES! "The sales volume has increased greatly, but it is not the only magazine of the same type in the market. Therefore, now there are buyers who want to buy the magazine. As the major shareholders, Ni Zhen and Shao Guohua naturally want to take advantage of the opportunity to cash in.

"It is said that businessmen from Southeast Asia want to buy our magazine. Recently, there are businessmen from Southeast Asia in Ming Pao and News Corp. who want to compete for the purchase... Now people in Hong Kong Island's newspaper industry and publishing industry are all waiting and watching."

"I don't know if we can change to a big water pipe owner!"

"In short, it's more generous than Joe... The treatment under the searchlight banner is much better than ours."

"The family is rich and powerful, and the sponsorship is also very good. All kinds of stars are rushing to shoot the cover. How can it be like us?"

Seeing a group of people leave, many staff members couldn't help but blah blah.

Feng Lifan, who was standing there, his eyes flickering, sat back at his desk and began to keep writing outlines at his desk.

She really wanted to interview Mecca.

In fact, "YES! "This kind of magazine that lacks publishing background and group support can be done. Now this situation has reached its peak.

At the very least, neither Ni Zhen nor Shao Guohua dared to imagine any breakthrough.

This kind of youth magazine itself has natural limitations, not to mention that this magazine is not new in terms of fresh ideas, it is nothing more than seizing a good opportunity.Now both the Tiantian Department and the Dongfang Department have launched their own teen star magazines, and the sales are also good.

At this time, a big water hose came to the door, and the two were very happy to see the result.

Whether it's Ni Zhen or Shao Guohua, they don't really want to be a media person.

This magazine is their means of profit.

If there is a chance, it will naturally sell for a good price.

As for the various news about Mecca in the circle... This does not affect their business with him, as long as they have real money, it is OK.What's more, for the other party to be able to dedicate himself grandly, he obviously has a well-thought-out plan.

in fact,

Recently, the newspaper industry has indeed not been in a good mood.

Especially the various entertainment newspapers and magazines of the Tiantian Department have a dimensionality reduction blow!They began to cooperate with Xing Tao, which caused many people to feel a sense of crisis.

In addition, Boss Zha, the 'leader' of the newspaper industry, has always wanted to retire.During this period, there was also news that the other party wanted to list the Ming Pao Group.

At the same time, the barriers to entry in the press are really low now.Resulting in huge competitive pressure!
The black record on Hong Kong Island did not happen overnight.

In fact, Hong Kong Island's newspaper and cultural circles have always been a mixed bag of worms and snakes, and sour "literate villains" have always existed.

Not to mention later generations, at this time, the standpoint of many major editors is also to "enhance the British and oppose the Chinese", and there are quite a few people kneeling to interview foreigners... really kneeling.

In short, I won't go into details here.

In comparison, this is also the reason why Xiaozu Wu founded the media. Without a mouthpiece, he really cannot speak out.

Why was he able to enter the South China Sea in the mainland?
Holding a sharp weapon is also one of the reasons.

The position of Searchlight Media is not completely advocating the mainland, but it maintains an objective position very well.In fact, sometimes, I feel that those who don't know what to do every day and talk about it without thinking are high-level hackers.

Wu Xiaozu personally believes that the Chinese have never been or should not be a nation that cannot accept reasonable criticism.

Remonstrance, this word, interprets it well.

But please don't use a narrow point of view to expound distorted judgments, and use some underworld image quality, underworld special effects, and underworld copywriting to fool us.

　Sorry for the lateness and the delay.Because my wife and grandpa will be on the seventh day tomorrow, I wasted time on the way to my mother-in-law's natal house by driving on the high speed today.
