Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2468 Neon Newspaper
"Yomiuri Shimbun", "Asahi Shimbun", "Mainichi Shimbun", "Neon Keizai Shimbun", "Sankei Shimbun", these five major newspapers usually do not get together unless they encounter some special circumstances. After all, they all have their own interests. Although they are intertwined, everyone has their own affiliation.

But on this day, the heads and high-level leaders of the five newspapers gathered together and met in a very secret place in Tokyo, which made people smell something unusual.

It's just that it's impossible for these media bigwigs to get together to be published, because they control all the external mouthpieces of Neon. Basically, most of the people of Neon rely on these newspapers to understand domestic and foreign affairs.

Even if Wenchun received the news, he didn't dare to send someone to secretly take pictures or report it, because it would completely offend his colleagues to death, and the end would be far worse than offending a few official figures, so Wenchun could only For some entertainers and public figures, they will pretend to turn a blind eye when they really encounter hard problems.

And the attitudes of these newspapers are also different, so it can be said that it is very difficult to get together at ordinary times.

But recently, something big or small happened on Neon's side, which happened to be related to their business, so these people had to meet up and have a chat.

"I believe everyone has more or less heard that Lin Daoqiu intends to set up his "Reader Times" branch in Nihong. The purpose of everyone coming here today is to discuss how this will affect us. After all, this is not a trivial matter. , that's Lin Daoqiu."

As the convener of this meeting, Toshio Fujiyama, deputy editor-in-chief of "Asahi Shimbun", looked worried. It seemed that he was very disturbed that Lin Daoqiu would open a branch of "Readers Times" in Neon, and it was not only him, The other top executives of the "Asahi Shimbun" and Toshio Fujiyama have the same idea.

"What's so great about Lin Daoqiu? Isn't Mr. Fujiyama a little too worried? If it's in other industries, it's hard to say, but if it's the newspaper industry of Neon, then he has no chance of winning at all. After all, this is Neon. , how many foreign newspapers have failed here.”

An Sheng Pingzhang, the deputy editor-in-chief of "Neon Economic News", looked disdainful. It seemed that he didn't pay attention to Lin Daoqiu's move at all. He felt that even if Lin Daoqiu's "Readers Times" was in It is impossible for the branch established by Neon to develop.

Toshio Fujiyama glanced at An Sheng Hei Zhang, and he didn't say anything more to the other party. After all, the opinions of the two people were opposite, and he believed that An Sheng Hei Zhang's thoughts might also represent the thoughts of the "Neon Economic News" executives. After all, it is difficult for a maverick to become a high-level manager in Neon.

"I don't know what other people think? Maybe everyone thinks what Mr. An Sheng said is very reasonable?"

Toshio Fujiyama wondered how many other newspapers shared his thoughts besides his concern about it.

"I think Mr. Fujiyama is right to be concerned."

"There is nothing to worry about. Mr. An Sheng is right. We have nothing to worry about."

The five newspapers were divided into two factions at once, with two supporting Fujiyama and one supporting An Sheng. It seemed that most of the newspapers were still worried about Lin Daoqiu's move.

An Sheng Pingzhang saw that Toshio Fujiyama had more supporters, and he couldn't help but shook his head. He felt that these guys were too timid, and they all raised Lin Daoqiu by coincidence, which made him feel He was very dissatisfied, and it also made him feel very dissatisfied with the other three newspapers.

"The example of Dongbao tells us that Lin Daoqiu is definitely not a good person. We should not relax our vigilance. After all, Lin Daoqiu is backed by the Morgan consortium."

A senior executive at the scene spoke out what he was most worried about.

If this is just Lin Daoqiu's actions alone, then they have nothing to worry about, but the problem is that Lin Daoqiu has the Morgan consortium behind him to help him, which is not comparable to the backstage of these newspapers. .

Even if their domestic power is stronger than that of the Morgan consortium, the question is, can they really unite?It is inevitable to put a big question mark here.

"The Morgan Consortium just bought shares in Lin Daoqiu's New Oriental Pictures and Reader Times. I think this is just an ordinary investment. Don't regard the Morgan Consortium as Lin Daoqiu's big boss."

"That's right, no one knows what the Morgan Consortium's attitude is. How can it be done if it's in a mess now? I think we should first find out the Morgan Consortium's attitude towards Lin Daoqiu. Is it unconditional all-out effort? Support, or is it just Lin Daoqiu's personal idea that "Readers Times" set up a branch in Neon."

Although everyone is unwilling to admit it, it can still be heard from their words that the pressure from the Morgan Consortium is not small at all. None of them present is willing to conflict with the Morgan Consortium, so Lin Daoqiu's matter becomes a problem.

If Lin Daoqiu didn't have the help of the Morgan consortium behind him, then even Toshio Fujiyama would not regard Lin Daoqiu as a threat.

"It's really easy for you to say, so I would like to ask who is willing to volunteer to ask the Morgan Consortium? Our "Yomiuri Shimbun" does not have any direct channels through the Morgan Consortium."

"Don't look at me, although the Sankei Shimbun is more authoritative in terms of finance, the Morgan consortium is too mysterious. We haven't even interviewed their members. It is simply impossible to expect us to ask them. matter."

As soon as they heard that they were going to ask the Morgan Consortium, everyone present began to shirk, because they had no friendship with the Morgan Consortium at all, but this did not mean that they could not do it. If they really wanted to go to the Morgan Consortium There is a way for the Morgan consortium to confirm it, but the problem is that the price to be paid is not small at all, and there are no kind-hearted people among the people present.

So everyone is waiting for someone who is willing to be taken advantage of, of course it is the best, anyway, they themselves will never take the initiative to take this responsibility.

"I think otherwise, our five newspapers will jointly hold a meeting or something, and then use this excuse to invite people from the Morgan consortium, and then find a way to find them on the spot and ask them what you think?"

Toshio Fujiyama's proposal sounds good. Since no one is willing to take on this responsibility, let's all take it together.
