"What happened, so flustered, there is nothing we can't settle in Xiangjiang!" Lai Decong leaned on the sofa and looked at the visitor.

The person who came was Yang Weisen. He and Ma Tingqiang were classmates since they were in school. Later, Ma Tingqiang became the chairman of Oriental Press. Because Yang Weisen was calm and reliable in his work, he called Yang Weisen to his side to do the math. I have been with Ma Tingqiang for several years.

So everyone around Ma Tingqiang knew Yang Weisen.

Lai Decong didn't care, but Ma Tingqiang and Tang Jiaming's hearts sank, because Yang Weisen rarely lost his composure.

"Weisen, what's the matter?" Ma Tingqiang put the red wine glass in his hand on the table, looked at Yang Weisen, and asked seriously.

Yang Weisen took a breath, and then said in a panic: "Just now "Hong Kong Island Daily" announced through ATV that their newspapers will be free from tomorrow, and the first issue of tomorrow will be 40 copies!"

rub!
Ma Tingqiang and Tang Jiaming stood up in an instant, and their expressions became extremely dignified. Ma Tingqiang confirmed, "Is the news true?"

Tang Jiaming nodded and said, "It's true, ATV news announced it!"

Ma Tingqiang stood there, did not speak for a long time, and finally shouted: "Wu Jianye, you are so ruthless!"

Ma Tingqiang's voice attracted the attention of other people in the clubhouse. Everyone knew that Xiangjiang Newspaper Group headed by Hu Qiang and Ma Tingqiang, with the support of HSBC, was declaring war with Wu Jianye. Looking at it, Wu Jianye seemed to have nothing to do with them, but now that Ma Tingqiang suddenly yelled, someone immediately noticed that the incident must have changed!
Tang Jiaming stood next to Ma Tingqiang, and said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, if the matter is true, not only you will be affected, but almost the entire Xiangjiang Newspaper industry will be affected. You should immediately call the Xiangjiang Newspaper Association for a meeting , and inform HSBC at the same time to see if they can do anything!"

Under Tang Jiaming's reminder, Ma Tingqiang also reflected. When he was about to call Hu Cheng, his phone rang first.

"Did you know the news just now?" Hu Cheng's voice came from the phone, also looking very flustered.

She told her elder brother that there was no problem just now, and she also saw the news on TV and learned about the "Hong Kong Island Daily".

Hu Qiang understood Wu Jianye's intention in an instant, and used free newspapers to impact Xiangjiang's inherent newspaper industry structure. She didn't know how Wu Jianye came up with this method of extermination.

But she knew that this matter must not allow Wu Jianye to succeed, otherwise it would have too much impact on them. If the free newspaper of "Hong Kong Island Daily" came out tomorrow, there would be no need for Wu Jianye to make a move on Monday. The stock price will fall in a waterfall style, and in order to deal with Wu Jianye's method, they have already bought a large number of shares in their own newspaper group in the stock market. If everything comes true, they will lose a lot
"I already know where you are, we will meet soon!" Ma Tingqiang said.

"I'm at home, let's go to your company, let's meet at your company." Hu Qiang said immediately.

"Okay, I'll go to the company and wait for you. By the way, call other people. Wu Jianye's method of extinction will definitely make everyone dissatisfied with him!" Ma Tingqiang glanced at Tang Jiaming and said.

After the two hung up the phone, Tang Jiaming looked at Ma Tingqiang and said, "Let's go, I'll go to the company with you."

Ma Tingqiang nodded.

"I'll go too!" Lai Decong also stood up at this time.

None of the three of them cared about their female companions, and returned to Oriental Press with Yang Weisen.

When the four of them came to Oriental Newspaper, they saw that quite a few newspaper bosses had already rushed over, including Hu Cheng and Hu Jiao from Sing Tao Newspaper, and Master Jin from Ming Pao Group. and the bosses of other newspaper groups.

"Let's go upstairs and talk!" Ma Tingqiang said.

Then he brought everyone to the meeting room of Dongfang Newspaper. Ma Tingqiang sat in the middle and could clearly feel that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit oppressive.

"Have you contacted Pu Weishi?" Ma Tingqiang asked.

Hu Qiang nodded, and said: "We have already contacted, and Pu Weishi told us not to panic, and HSBC will join us in raising the company's stock price on Monday!"

Hearing that Prowess did not abandon them, this relieved everyone's nervousness.

Lai Decong said beside him: "Is this Wu Jianye sick? He makes a loss of tens of millions a year for free newspapers!"

Hu Cheng glanced at Lai Decong, and curled her lips slightly. On the way here, she had already figured it out. What Wu Jianye did was a way to draw salary from the bottom of the pot. Now Yiwang Group can use "Hong Kong Island Daily". Before Yiwang Group The acquisition of Yulang International naturally included "Daily Daily", but "Daily Daily" is a listed company, and Yulang International is only the largest shareholder, which is why Wu Jianye announced that "Hong Kong Island Daily" is free. And there is no way to declare that "Daily Daily" is free.

As for losing tens of millions a year, everyone here is a sensible person. Everyone knows the amount, and Yiwang Group can afford it!
What Hu Qiang is really worried about is that if "Hong Kong Island Daily" takes advantage of this to grow bigger and quickly occupy the market, then the advertising revenue alone may even out the losses of "Hong Kong Island Daily"!

No one thought that Wu Jianye would make such a move. They thought they had thought of all the possibilities, but the free newspaper really didn't think of it.
"Our biggest problem right now is that we can't get Hong Kong Island Daily to sit up, and we have to find a way to make it die!" Hu Cheng said.

Ma Tingqiang also got advice from Tang Jiaming on the way here, and said: "We should contact the Hong Kong Distribution Association immediately and tell them that no one can sell "Hong Kong Island Daily", otherwise we will jointly block it!"

Master Jin suddenly said: "This kind of thing, we don't need to say it, they will do it too."

Hu Qiang nodded and said, "That's right. If "Hong Kong Island Daily" really becomes a free newspaper, then the distribution association won't get a share. They won't sell "Hong Kong Island Daily" any more."

Although Tang Jiaming is not a member of the Newspaper Association, he is still a legal consultant of the Oriental Newspaper, so at this time he said: "We can all think of these things, I believe Wu Jianye can also think of them, and even if it is In this way, Wu Jianye still chose to make "Hong Kong Island Daily" a free newspaper, which means he must have his own way!"

At this time, no one dared to underestimate Wu Jianye anymore, and a free newspaper beat them into a panic. As Tang Jiaming said, it is impossible for Wu Jianye not to think of this.

Everyone fell into silence, thinking about Wu Jianye's countermeasure!

In the end, Hu Jiao was the first to say: "Will Wu Jianye set up his own newsstands in various places in Xiangjiang?"

Hu Cheng shook his head and said: "Impossible, if he wants to set up his own chain of newsstands, let alone the issue of the license, it is impossible to complete it in such a short period of time. If there is such an action, then it is impossible for us not to get news After all, distributing 40 copies of free newspapers cannot be solved by a few newsstands.”

Master Jin, who was sitting on the side, said again: "Wu Jianye doesn't need to have his own newsstand at all, as long as he hires some mistresses to set up a stall every morning in various populous places to distribute their "Hong Kong Island Daily" That's it, free newspapers, I believe it will take less than a morning to distribute them!"

Hu Qiang, Ma Tingqiang, and others were all shocked. If what Master Jin said was true, then "Hong Kong Island Daily" could perfectly avoid the Distribution Association, and their so-called banning would be meaningless .

Hu Qiang and Ma Tingqiang glanced at Master Jin. To be honest, in this action against Wu Jianye, Master Jin has always adhered to the principle that silence is golden, and never expresses his opinions, which caused them all to have feelings for Master Jin. They didn't want to ignore it, but at this moment they remembered that Master Jin was from the same generation as their fathers, how could he be incapable after so many years of ups and downs in Xiangjiang?
"Master Jin, all the people sitting here are your juniors, and what Wu Jianye is doing now is obviously aimed at our entire newspaper association. At this time, you should stop hiding, and tell me what you can do!" Hu Amaranth preached.

Master Jin showed a wry smile and said: "What can I do now, as long as the free newspaper is established, we will wait for our company's stock price to fall, even if we and HSBC raise the stock price in a short period of time, but the impact , I think those sitting here should know it!"

After Master Jin finished speaking, everyone was silent again. In fact, they had already guessed what Master Jin said. With them and HSBC taking action, it may be possible to raise the stock prices of several major newspaper groups in a short period of time, but its far-reaching impact is impossible. It does not exist. First of all, "Hong Kong Island Daily" has seized the newspaper market, and they are bound to lose part of the market because of this.

At the same time, what is lost is not only the market, but also their advertising costs. A newspaper with a daily sales volume of 30 copies is different from a newspaper with a daily sales volume of 10 copies!

Lai Decong said again: "In fact, your ultimate goal is to prevent the free newspaper of "Hong Kong Island Daily". Give out free newspapers, then smash the stall for him, how simple it is!"

Some people's brains are simple, so their brain circuits will not be too complicated, but the suggestions of these people are often able to hit the most powerful points more accurately.

Just like what Lai Decong said now, since it is impossible to stop the trend of "Hong Kong Island Daily" being free, it is necessary to tamper with their distribution channels. It is undeniable that Lai Decong's method is a bit rough, but for them now Talking is the best way!
But everyone did not agree with Lai Decong's suggestion, because everyone knows that if what they did before was just a commercial means, then Lai Decong's proposal has gone beyond the scope of business, using the strength of the community to fight against business rules , It’s not nice to say it out!
But none of them objected to Lai Decong's suggestion, because it was the best way they could think of so far!
Master Jin said: "This method is a bit extreme. I think we can discuss it with Wu Jianye. The matter has reached this point. If we choose to coexist peacefully with Wu Jianye, maybe we can interrupt his thoughts?"

Things have developed to this point, and Master Jin has already regretted participating in this matter. Now, for Master Jin, he still hopes that peace is the most important thing in everything. If the fight really continues, then in the end, both sides will inevitably Both lose.

Wu Jianye's family has a big business and is not afraid of losing money, but they can't do it!
Hu Qiang, who asked Master Jin to give her an idea just now, shook her head at this time and objected to Master Jin's opinion: "This is inappropriate. Since "Hong Kong Island Daily" has been officially announced as a free newspaper on ATV, then Wu Jianye will It is impossible to stop at this time, and if we do so, we will offend HSBC, and without HSBC's help, our company's share price will fall."

Master Jin smiled wryly again: "Then I have nothing to do!"

Hu Qiang and Ma Tingqiang looked at each other. They both agreed with Lai Decong's approach at this time, and they took the business route. They had no way to deal with Wu Jianye, so they could only hope to take other ways.

Ma Tingqiang said in a deep voice: "Things can be done according to A Cong's method, but this matter can't be done by only our Dongfang Newspaper family, it needs everyone to come forward!"

At this time, Ma Tingqiang hadn't completely lost his mind. He knew that if he really handled this matter according to Lai Decong's method, it would be equivalent to completely tearing apart his face with Wu Jianye, and he couldn't charge forward, and these people Sit in the rear and enjoy the results!

Although everyone did not speak, but sometimes silence is also a statement.

"Since everyone has no objections, then each family will contribute some money. As for the problem of manpower, I will solve it!" Ma Tingqiang said.

Although his old man has already gone to Wanwan, their Ma family still has a high influence in Xiangjiang's associations. As long as the money is in place, the problem of manpower is not a problem at all!

In the end, everyone reluctantly agreed to Ma Tingqiang's suggestion. At this time, they have nowhere to go!
After Dongfang Press came out, Master Jin sat in his car, sighed, thought for a while, and took out his phone.

"Brother, Master Jin called and wants to meet you!" Yanwen said after finding Wu Jianye.

To be honest, Wu Jianye admires Master Jin very much. After all, his novels have a profound influence on Wu Jianye, but at this time, Wu Jianye cannot delay his plan because of personal feelings.

"Tell Master Jin that I don't have time for this time!" Wu Jianye said.

"Ok!"

The next day!

At the exits of major subways in Hong Kong, Central, Causeway Bay and other bustling areas, many mistresses in red vests suddenly appeared.On the back of the red vest is written "Hong Kong Island Daily"!
In front of them, stacks of "Hong Kong Island Daily" were placed, and a sign was erected next to the newspaper: "Hong Kong Island Daily" distribution point!

But at this time, not far from the distribution point, six or seven short mules wearing shirts and holding kerosene suddenly appeared
