the longest dream

Chapter 209 The End of Hong Kong Island
"This novel draws heavily on books such as "The Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty", "The Master's Biography of the Great Tang Mercy Tripitaka", "The Poems of the Tripitaka of the Great Tang Dynasty", as well as the biography of folk storytellers. Using it as a framework, it writes a traditional Fairytale."

In the chairman's office of "Ming Pao", after Zhong Qu got the manuscript, he read it for two hours before putting it down, Zhang Qing said to him.

Zhong Qu didn't make a sound, but closed his eyes and rested his mind. Five minutes later, Zhong Qufang opened his eyes and said to Shen Bin, the editor-in-chief who was still reviewing the manuscript, "Abin, I didn't choose the wrong successor. There is no wrong choice!"

Shen Bin raised his eyes, glanced at Zhong Qu, then at Zhang Qing, who had a pale complexion, and sighed: "Yes, who can deny Qing Zai's talent? Just based on this "Journey to the West" ", even those serious literati who look down on martial arts culture will have nothing to say. The integration of this system and the coherent book of strange stories that have been passed down for thousands of years are already considered meritorious deeds for traditional culture. !"

Zhong Qu looked at Zhang Qing and said comfortingly: "I am so worried about you. You will be addicted to the entertainment industry. After all, in that industry, there are rich people and beautiful women. But writing stories and learning, you need time to calm down and accumulate precipitation. No Thinking about it, you have never relaxed yourself. I read in the newspaper that on the first day you came to Hong Kong Island, you went out to the bookstore and bought a lot of books. Kung fu reading? Now it seems that you have been studying."

Zhang Qing smiled and said, "I'm only a student. Of course I focus on studying. I'll go back to study after I'm done with this time."

Zhong Qu laughed and said, "Qingzai, I envy you so much! With Ms. Zhao here, you can let go and do what you want, you can study and study. Others can't, so I can't! Because I'm around There is no capable Miss Zhao."

Shen Bin looked at Zhang Qing and said, "Both "Sing Pao" and "Hong Kong Island Financial News" sent people to the mainland to find out about you. They reported that you have many industries in the mainland, including three factories and dozens of stores. , With such a big fortune, you just leave it alone and go to study?"

Zhang Qingdao: "I don't understand management, and I have no experience. How can I manage it? Right now, the reform of state-owned enterprises in mainland China is in full swing, and a large number of talents with management experience are overflowing, which can just promote the development of the private economy. I am lucky. I have the lover of my high school teacher. Help select who are capable of doing things and who are officials."

Shen Bin shook his head again and again and said, "If you do it this way, it's okay at the initial stage of your business. If a big company still does it like this, it will definitely be a mess!"

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Yes, fortunately, it is still in its infancy. Let's get started first, and then slowly adjust. Sister Zhao has already spent a lot of money to hire business elites from Hong Kong Island and Western consulting companies that specialize in formulating systems for large companies. , went to the mainland, and together with the managers of mainland enterprises, worked out a set of articles of association suitable for the large company system of mainland enterprises. It cost millions of dollars and lasted for three years, and was formulated according to the specific conditions of the mainland. I don’t know if it will work or not, so try it first Do it."

Hearing what he said, Shen Bin was speechless, Zhong Qu said with a chuckle: "There should be no mainland enterprise that is willing to spend so much money to set up a system to restrain itself."

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Anyway, it's not to restrain me. I'm only responsible for writing something, occasionally making decisions, and most of them have nothing to do with the company."

Shen Bin suddenly understood that the purpose of Zhang Qing's words might be to reassure him, so he took the initiative to ask: "Does Qingzi have any requests for changes in the newspaper industry?"

Zhang Qing shook his head and said: "As long as you can really insist on impartiality, neutrality, and seeking truth from facts, the system and personnel of the newspaper industry will remain the same. The foundation laid by Zhong Sheng is very good. I won't think too much of myself and think that I can come up with something." A smart idea, even better than the decades of experience and wisdom of Zhong Sheng and Uncle Jiu. However, if I think that the news reported by "Ming Pao" is out of justice, neutrality, seeking truth from facts, and can produce evidence, at that time , I hope Uncle Jiu can act fairly."

Up to this point, after all, the acquisition has not yet been completed, and he said to Zhong Qu: "The purpose of taking out this manuscript is to ask Zhong Sheng to help polish it and rewrite it into a script, a TV script. .After the completion, Zhong Sheng and I signed it together."

Zhong Qu was surprised when he heard the words: "Why is this? Qingzi, I have been writing for many years."

Shen Bin thought he understood, and said with some emotion: "This book may not be a big hit at the beginning, but as long as it is promoted properly, it may be more widely spread than ordinary martial arts works, and it will also be more literary. I am afraid it will last forever. Qing Zi Is this to thank Zhong Sheng?"

Zhong Qu shook his head again and again and refused: "Am I a person who is just trying to catch fame? No way."

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "I don't have this idea. I just want to use Zhong Sheng's reputation and status in the Chinese world to promote this book as soon as possible. Otherwise, this manuscript will be released under my personal name, but the vernacular version , published under the joint name of Zhong Sheng and me. I also hope that "Ming Pao" can find a cartoonist and adapt it into a comic."

Zhong Qu asked puzzled, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhang Qingdao: "The cultural output of the United States is too strong, and it is almost conquering cities and territories in Asia. In the past ten years, the highest box office of a mainland movie was the American movie "True and Lies" released the year before, with [-] million. The second place is "The End of the World" released last year, with a box office of [-] million. In addition to Hong Kong Island, Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea, and even Bay Bay have been breached by Hollywood blockbusters. Hong Kong Island... the last stronghold is also at stake. It is only a matter of time before it is breached.

I’m not saying that I want to compete with the US emperor on my own, that’s wishful thinking, but I’m also willing to do my best to contribute to the continuation of traditional Chinese culture in Greater China, so as not to be too bleak. "

Before Zhong Qu could speak, Shen Bin was moved and praised repeatedly: "Qingzi, you really have ideals! I support you, Zhong Sheng didn't choose the wrong person, you are the best successor of "Ming Pao"!"

Zhong Qu picked up the manuscript and glanced at it again, then nodded and said, "I should support it, but I'm old, I'm doing it alone, I'm exhausted, I have more energy than energy, so there will inevitably be omissions. Why don't you invite more A friend, brainstorm and work together to get this thing done.

Qingzi, this road is difficult. "

Zhang Qing smiled and said, "It's easy to make money, and it's easy to enjoy, but what's the point? In life, there must always be some challenges, and doing something meaningful is the only way."

Zhong Qu laughed and said: "Okay! You are very similar to me, and you have a romantic martial arts spirit in your bones. In order to abide by the style of writing, "Ming Pao" pushed out countless commercial advertisements, and the style of writing did not conform to "Ming Pao". Manuscript. To me, that's what makes sense.

By the way, you have so many things to do, so many factories, and you are eager to spend so much money to buy "Ming Pao" stock... Can you make up the money?If not, I can lend you some. "

His love for talents is getting stronger and stronger.

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "That's not necessary, I can still hold on for now, and the settlement of manuscript fees in other places has not yet been settled. It is really not enough, so I will ask Zhong Sheng again."

Zhong Qu waved his hands and said with a smile: "This is a deceitful talk. You are arrogant in your bones, why would you ask me this... How about it, I will give you [-] million yuan, and it will be treated as an advance payment of foreign royalties. Wait for the overseas settlement When you're done, just deduct it from it."

Zhang Qing felt a little embarrassed, and said, "Zhong Sheng, it's really enough for now."

Zhong Qu shook his head, and said: "There is no need to say any more. "Cheng Bao" has already calculated, even if your concert does not lose money, you will not make much money. The mainland... may not be able to support you in terms of money. Qing Zai, Don't refuse anymore, with your talent, these are not problems, am I afraid that you can't afford it?"

Zhang Qing nodded and said, "Thank you Zhong Sheng."

Although the current capital chain is not tight, it is indeed not abundant.

With this extra [-] million, you have to be more calm...

……

Ninety-seven years, the twelfth day of the first month.

Hung Hom Sports Centre.

There are [-] seats, and there are no empty seats.

Thanks to Zhou Yanyan's reputation, the entire gymnasium was surrounded by roses and pink balloons.

It also made this concert more topical and legendary.

The popularity of "Shooting the Condors" has caused a great sensation in Hong Kong Island. It has been at least ten years, and Hong Kong Island has not seen a TV series with an audience rating of over [-]%. After all, it was not ten or twenty years ago.

Therefore, many film and television superstars joined in today's concert.

Qiao Beiyan, Zhong Qu, and even the gambling king of Macau came in person, and the branch president of the Chinese Society came in person.

Afterwards, Hong Kong media reported that this concert also opened Zhang Qing's road to becoming a tycoon as a mainland teenager!

After Huadie and many guests sang, all the song (S) fans (P) shouted Zhou Yanyan's name together.

The name of this rural girl, which sounds a bit vulgar, blew up the night sky of Xiangjiang.

When Zhou Yanyan wore the ethnic costumes of Xijiang, a solo dance caused a tsunami of cheers, and countless "encore" voices could not be calmed down. She came on stage again, but it was He Huadie, Hu Quanbing, the four kings of Hong Kong Island, and the three superstars of the 80s music scene. There are also film and television superstars such as Sun Kuohai and Li Qifa.

The fans at the scene were so happy that they were about to faint. When the screams broke through the sky, there was a burst of melodious and clear singing:

Zhou Yanyan: "Wake up your sleeping heart lightly, and slowly open your eyes."

Yan Ruomei: "Look at the busy world, is it still spinning around alone?"

Flower Butterfly: "The spring breeze is incomprehensible, blowing the hearts of young people."

Gao Zehuan: "Let the tears on my face from yesterday dry up with the memory."

……

It was another beautiful new song, sung by celebrities from all walks of life, broadcast live on TVB, and the whole Hong Kong Island fell in love with it today.

In the VIP room, Zhang Qing was sitting with several bigwigs. After hearing this song, Zhao Bei, the president of the Hong Kong Island Branch of the Chinese Society, even happily patted Zhang Qing's arm and said three times: "Okay, okay ,OK!"

Macau gambling king He Quan smiled and praised: "The land of China, what a genius! Qingzi, come and get acquainted, this is my daughter He Meiqiong."

Zhang Qing and the glamorous young woman in her twenties nodded slightly. The woman probably regarded him as a teenager, and smiled and said, "Qingzai, just call me Sister Pansy, I really like your song."

Zhang Qing thanked her with a smile, and took the business card she handed over.

Li Fangjie smiled and said: "Young people should have more contacts!"

He Meiqiong heard the voice, it was so funny, she said angrily: "Aunt Fang, Qingzai is younger than my younger brother!"

Li Fangjie covered her mouth with a smile and said, "What age is it? It's less than ten years old. Sixth brother is thirty years older than me!"

In fact, at this time, the marriage between He Meiqiong and the son of the Hong Kong Island Ship King is still there, but in name only.

Qiao Beiyan ignored these irrelevant topics, and said regretfully, "Qingzi, I'm going back to the mainland tomorrow, and I don't know when I'll be back."

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "June, before July [-]st."

Others only said that he wanted to see the comeback, but Qiao Beiyan had some guesses and narrowed his eyes...

After chatting with the tycoons for a few more words, Zhao Qiang came in and said in a low voice, "The second son of the Yu family wants to talk to you again. He said that he is very sincere and that everything can be discussed..."

Zhang Qing shook his head and said, "Tell him, there's no need."

He Meiqiong may have heard something, and said with a smile: "Yu Tiancheng is Yu Shixun's most troublesome and beloved son, and he may be He Huang's successor."

Zhang Qing hehe said: "Is He Huang's successor amazing? Sister Pansy, let's get to know each other again. I am the successor of socialism, and I am not surprised by anyone."

All the bosses in the VIP room burst out laughing.
