Rebirth: The Era of Hong Kong Tycoon

Chapter 192 [In Business Talking Business]

After the "Modern Daily" revealed that "Little Hooligans" promoted associations and fought violence, newspapers in Xiangjiang entered the market to investigate and reported it; some newspapers even bombarded the entire comics market without investigation.

For these newspapers, they don't care about your comic market, they only know that bombarding your comic market can increase the sales of their newspapers, which is the most important thing.

Lin Rongheng had already guessed this situation in advance, but still chose to take the initiative to initiate self-discipline actions.Of course, "Modern Manke" and "Dragon Tiger Gate" have been self-disciplined since their publication, so it is equivalent to purifying the entire comics market.

Moreover, this time most of the media chose to follow the same pace as "Modern Daily", first going to the market to pass investigations, and then listing the problems of those comic publications; even, many newspapers also took the initiative to praise "Modern Weekly" and " "Dragon Tiger Gate" is not only the scale control of these two comic publications, but also does not allude to Hong Kong. The battlefield of "Dragon and Tiger Gate" was not in Hong Kong from the beginning, so there is no question of offending anyone.

After Lin Rongheng saw that the matter was fermenting, he planned to make Modern Publishing House a benchmark in the comics industry before the Hong Kong government took action.

When Zhang Cheng was recruited, Lin Rongheng said: "The Hong Kong government must be studying the 'law on bad publications'. Although we are not worried about getting caught up in the fire, we still need to actively cooperate with the work. In this way, you call a few comic clubs to initiate 'self-discipline action' and "Resist bad comics action", do it for the Hong Kong government and citizens to see! Another comic daily will be prepared, and "Bruce Lee" and "Dragon Tiger Gate" will be published every day."

Zhang Cheng asked: "What about "Dragon Ball" and "City Hunter" of "Miyin Manke"?"

Lin Rongheng waved his hand and said seriously: "Hong Kong's local comics will defeat Japanese comics sooner or later, and "Miyin Manke" is distributed globally, so there is no need to worry about the local market."

Zhang Cheng nodded and said, "En! "Zhiyinmanke" will be released in Southeast Asia, Taiwan and other places soon, and the company will reach a new level by then!"

Lin Rongheng thought for a while, and said: "We only earn [-]% to [-]% of the profits from the publication of "Miyin Manke", and we have to share it with the locals; but the profits from comic publications actually only account for about [-]%. , is the big head! You should know this!"

Zhang Cheng quickly said: "Yes, I know! I often discuss the Japanese manga industry with Vice President Jiro Yamamoto, and I have learned a lot from it!"

Jiro Yamamoto, the head of the branch of Modern Publishing House in Japan, also serves as the vice president of Modern Publishing House, assisting Zhang Cheng in promoting "Miyin Manke" to the world.

Lin Rongheng said with satisfaction: "It is good to learn more from Japanese experience, and learn from foreigners to master skills! Therefore, I plan to purchase a Hong Kong toy factory in the name of Modern Publishing House, and then produce our comics peripherals. Not only that, we also We need to open a physical store to sell comic publications and peripheral toys. In short, we need to dig deep into the value of comic IP.”

Zhang Cheng couldn't help but sigh the boss's erudition, as a real estate businessman, he knows so much about the comics industry.

"Recently, I will select the right toy company, and then I will show it to the boss for your decision!"

"Okay! In terms of funds, there is no need to worry!"

With the ferment of public opinion, "Modern Daily" became a firefighter, reporting on Modern Publishing's initiative to launch industry self-discipline actions and boycott unscrupulous comic publications, which attracted countless attention for a while.

"Modern Daily" pointed out at the same time that "Modern Manke" and "Dragon Tiger Gate" have abided by "self-discipline" and preached social justice since their publication.

At the end of the article, it pointed out: comics are not a bad industry, but are manipulated by bad people, so there are bad comic publications. I hope the whole industry can take warning!

Although some people in the media know that "Modern Daily" is suspected of boasting, they can't find evidence after all that "Modern Manke" and "Dragon Tiger Gate" are indeed high-quality comic publications in the market.

Not only that, this time "Modern Daily" made a big splash. Not only did it attract attention and increase its sales, but it also gained a good reputation; it greatly increased its popularity and authority, and consolidated the reputation of Xiangjiang No. [-] Newspaper.

On the same day, the government also formally passed the law on unscrupulous publications, and the police sent officers to newsstands to ban and arrest people, as if they wanted to drive out all unscrupulous comic publications.Of course, this approach of the Hong Kong government is just to scare chickens and monkeys to deter some pornographic and violent publications, and it does not really remove all comics from Hong Kong.

Huang Yulang's "Little Rascal" and Huang Yulang's former owner, Baoguang Publishing House, etc., received the greatest impact from the campaign against unhealthy publications initiated by Xiangjiang.

All the publications they published were confiscated, and the owners of various bookstores demanded compensation for the loss; of course, the bigger loss was reputation, and the comic publications they published were named and criticized by the media.

Huang Yulang complained to all his colleagues in the meeting room of Jade Emperor Publishing House, saying: "Modern Publishing House is so ruthless that they didn't give us a way out. The Hong Kong government hasn't ordered us to stop publishing, but just confiscated outside publications. Hurry up." Think of a way?"

After a short period of calm, an artist said: "Modern Publishing House has recruited several publishing houses and launched a 'self-discipline action', and the comics they publish themselves are indeed relatively restrained. Therefore, we want to continue publishing "Little Manga" "Rogue", you must learn from Modern Publishing House!"

Huang Yulang seemed to be on the verge of death grasping at straws, and said excitedly: "Yes! The Hong Kong government has not ordered us to suspend business, which means there is still a chance to recover! If we also call a few publishing houses and hold a press conference Announce that we have launched a self-regulatory action, while asking the Hong Kong government about the standards for "bad publications."

The following developments were the same as the original history, but two years earlier; under the attack of the Hong Kong government, all publishing houses launched self-discipline actions one after another.

However, Huang Yulang's "Little Rascal" was not as lucky as it was in history after this severe crackdown. Not to mention the sharp drop in sales, it became a typical example of bad publications for a while, and was greatly condemned by public opinion. The parents even scolded Huang Yulang face to face.

Even Huang Yulang himself looked a bit devastated when he was hit for the first time, sobering up every day to relieve his worries!Fortunately, after a bookstore proprietress woke Huang Yulang up by scolding him in front of Huang Yulang, Jade Emperor Publishing House barely managed to get ahead. At that time, Modern Publishing House had already become a giant.

Of course, that's all for later!

Lin Rongheng is not a small-minded person. He did this move in order to attack his competitors, and it was entirely out of the healthy development of the entire industry and the act of cruelty to young people.

If Lin Rongheng is really such a person—maliciously attacking competitors, then the four major detectives, Lai Hao, and the Ma brothers have already been dealt with by Lin Rongheng one by one. With Lin Rongheng's current ability, it is not difficult. Lin Rongheng's phone number can It leads directly to the governor's office, and it's not a problem to play some dirty tricks.

Lin Rongheng is based on business and business, and attacking enemies is also carried out in the field of business. For example, he squeezed the "Oriental Daily", and never thought of using any extreme means to deal with the enemy.

In fact, what Lin Rongheng didn't know was that because of his appearance, the four major detectives and Lai Hao lost a lot of money in the stock market crash.

It turned out that the four chief inspectors and Lai Hao regretted not listening to Lin Rongheng when they saw that the stock market was getting more and more prosperous. Later, when they thought about it, Lin Rongheng still remembered the stocks that Lin Rongheng told them clearly, so they rushed in again immediately.

But when they entered, the Hang Seng Index had already risen to 1000 points. As a result, when the stock market crash came, several people were preparing to flee Hong Kong again. They wanted to close their positions after a rebound, as long as they did not lose money. A total loss of 2000 million Hong Kong dollars.

It was hard to close all positions, and the 5000 million Hong Kong dollars of the few people were only left with more than 2000 million Hong Kong dollars, which immediately made things worse.

The four major detectives all fled in a hurry, coupled with the stock market crash, real estate transactions are sluggish, and many assets in Hong Kong are too late to realize; now they have lost some cash, which is naturally worse.
