Hong Kong's new giants

Chapter 39 [Additional Printing]

On the morning of Saturday, Lin Zuhui came to Wanhui Publishing House and immediately heard the good news. Yesterday, "Men's Gang" sold well at various newsstands and bookstores.

In fact, his psychological expectations are not that big, mainly because the audience of "FHM" is small-men with a certain level of education between the ages of 20 and 50, plus the starting fee of 130 million is actually not high.

The "Next Magazine" in the previous life claimed 4500 million for the establishment of the publication. In the early 90s, the sales volume was only 10 copies, and it increased to 20 copies a year later. This has already belonged to the ceiling of Xiangjiang Magazine. After all, "Next Magazine" is an entertainment gossip magazine and has a larger audience, so it is not bad that "Fm Gang" can achieve half of its results.

After listening to the reports of several senior executives, Lin Zuhui waved his hand and said, "If the market response continues to be good this afternoon, then immediately print another 3 copies. After all, the printing factory also needs time, and placing an order in a hurry will lead to insufficient ink." Dry, poor quality, etc.”

The first issue of sales of 6 copies is already the ceiling, and Lin Zuhui has always had this goal in mind.

Li Guangming nodded and said: "Well, I'll ask the people in the department to check some newsstands a lot, count the data, and decide to reprint before dinner. But I think reprinting is a certain thing, after all, our advertisements have been doing it all the time. , sales will only increase.”

"Well, it's always too late to make a decision tonight!"

The [-] copies could have been sold out, and Lin Zuhui was about to laugh secretly, but according to the analysis of the current market, [-] copies are indeed not enough.

After Li Guangming left, Liang Guanhui reported again: "Boss, is it possible to make an appointment for the second issue of 'Help Girl'? Who do you like?"

There are still five days before the second issue is released, but the 'Bang Girls' has not been confirmed, no doubt there is a reason; Lin Zuhui has no plan to pay the gang girls; so we must wait until the market for "Fm Gang" becomes popular , and then invite him, it will undoubtedly say a lot.

Of course, I am not afraid of being too late, Guan Jiahui has shot a few sets of costumes, and she can become a "gang girl" for two consecutive episodes; no matter how bad it is, there are amateur content in "FHM", so she can directly propose to become a "gang girl".

"Who is Miss Hong Kong this year?" Lin Zuhui asked curiously.

Miss Hong Kong is undoubtedly a gimmick!
"It's a mixed-race girl named Gao Lihong. I've done news interviews about her before."

Lin Zuhui whispered 'Gao Lihong' lightly, the name seemed familiar.

Isn't this Fatty Hong's wife?
He is indeed of mixed race, and has a great figure. The contour of his face is very three-dimensional and neutral.

"That's her, you can invite her tomorrow! If she is not in Xiangjiang, find Miss Xiangjiang in 1983!"

Liang Guanhui seemed to know Hong Kong sister like a treasure, and said: "In 83, Hong Kong sister was Yang Xueyi, and she worked in the film industry."

"Well, it's better to be Gao Lihong, I'm quite interested in mixed races!"

Liang Guanhui said with a smile: "The boss is very good at art, and your guidance will be indispensable at that time!"

It makes sense, since you are a mixed race, you should naturally show your figure and look sexy!
The rise of "FHM" quickly caused waves in Xiangjiang's media circle.

Although the specific sales volume has not been counted yet, but the newsstander and the publisher are so familiar, it is natural to mention how "Fm Gang" is a best seller, and predict another best-selling magazine for soldiers.

The editor-in-chief of "Ming Pao Weekly" Lei Weipo got the "Fm Gang" magazine immediately, and after reading it, he couldn't help but praise that this magazine will be a success.

Some are similar to "Playboy", but they are different from pornographic magazines; this type of magazine may exist in the world, but he has never heard of such a magazine with such a clear theme, which belongs to men's true temperament magazine.

"Wanhui Publishing House? Why haven't I heard of it, I have to go find out the news."

The content of "FHM" also has gossip, but they are all relatively mild gossip. This is a bottom line set by Lin Zuhui, which is on par with "Ming Pao Weekly". Leave a bad name.

Lin Zuhui is not interested in these industries to make money, but to pick up girls. For such a small amount of money, there are real estate speculators who can make more money.

Causeway Bay, News Building.

This is the headquarters of Sing Tao Newspaper. The boss of Sing Tao Newspaper is Hu Xian, the "Queen of Newspapers". He usually drives a sports car to work here.

Zheng Jinghan is the business development director of Sing Tao Newspaper Group. Recently, he also had the idea of ​​starting a business. He found a magazine in the market that day, and immediately regretted it.

"Hesitating, it's okay now, someone has taken the lead!"

Zheng Jinghan felt mixed feelings in his heart. It turned out that he had been wanting to buy the Chinese copyright of the American "Playboy" for the past six months, but instead of translating it, he changed some content, mainly removing the pornographic part, and then creating a high-quality copy. The Playboy.

Now that "Men's Gang" was born out of nowhere, he lost the opportunity, and immediately regretted his hesitation.

"No, it's not too late! First of all, I have never heard of this publishing house, so it must not be strong; second, if I publish the Chinese version of "Playboy", I will have a greater reputation advantage."

"The top priority is to get the support of the chairman!"

Zheng Jinghan and Hu Xian have always been very friendly in cooperation, but Hu Xian is bound to lose face and make a magazine that may be misunderstood as pornography.Therefore, Zheng Jinghan decided to resign immediately to start a business, and hoped to get the support of Hu Xian.

Thinking of this, he immediately came to Hu Xian's office.

Hu Xian was born in 1932 and is 52 years old this year. She started working at Sing Tao Press in her 20s, and soon accepted Sing Tao Daily because of the death of her father Hu Wenhu; she saved Sing Tao Daily several times Among them, the ability is very strong, and the "Sing Tao Daily" has been turned into a world-class Chinese newspaper. It is said that there are "Sing Tao Daily" wherever there are Chinese.

"Sing Tao Daily" is not only available wherever there are Chinese people, but also created a world precedent of publishing different editions in seven major cities in the world, and achieved success. This is something that even European and American newspapers have not done.

Because of this influence, Hu Xian was once elected as the chairman of the World Newspaper Association and enjoyed a high reputation.

"Chairman, how would you like to see this magazine?" Zheng Jinghan respectfully handed over "FHM", not daring to take a peek at this woman.

Hu Xian was taken aback for a moment, but in order to save face for a good helper, he looked at it seriously.

After a long time, Hu Xian praised: "It's a very good magazine. This publishing house has filled a gap in the market! What, you want our group to also publish one?"

Zheng Jinghan quickly said: "Chairman, I have always wanted to start my own business and run a magazine like this!"

Hu Xian raised her head, not too surprised, Zheng Jinghan is a talented person, it is impossible to work part-time all the time, she also understands this truth.

"You want my support? But, it's just a magazine. You shouldn't be short of funds, right?"

Seeing that Hu Xian was so talkative, Zheng Jinghan was very moved and said: "I want to buy the copyright of "Playboy" in the United States, and then change it into a high-grade men's magazine similar to "Fm Gang". If the chairman is interested, he can buy a share. It's time for the Sing Tao Group to support it with resources."

"I knew you wanted to start your own business a long time ago, and I can't stop you if I know it. In this case, I will subscribe for [-]% of the shares. We will still be partners in the future!"

"Thank you for the support of the chairman! I will do well in the publishing industry in the future and publish more excellent magazines."

This does not overlap with the business of Sing Tao Group, and there is not much competition, so he said it out.Coupled with the fact that Hu Xian is also considering relocating and taking capital recently, the relationship between her father and there is not very good.
