I am many years in the courtyard
Chapter 421, Novel Platform
Huang Shitong was overjoyed when he heard this.
He quickly said: "Brother Zhang, please help me take a look."
If they had just met, Huang Shitong would not have asked Zhang Mingde to take his pulse.
But we have known each other for a while, and since we have been together for many years, we are really not short of money.
Therefore, the possibility that Zhang Mingde wanted to deceive him was very small.
You know, Huang Shitong also knows that he has been a writer for many years, and he is also a shareholder of a newspaper, and he also founded the Yaya Toy Factory.
Not to mention The Deer and the Cauldron and Ghost Blowing the Lamp that were created over the years, Yaya Toy Factory has completely sold out like crazy in the past few months.
Products are being distributed throughout Hong Kong Island, and business has also been extended to Baodao, Bangzi, Tokyo and Southeast Asia.
I heard that the revenue in June exceeded [-] million Hong Kong dollars.
Specifically, Huang Shitong is also in business. After a brief understanding, he knew that there was no moisture at all in this revenue.
Even this legendary revenue is considered conservative.
Therefore, many years ago, the family was not short of money at all.
In addition to not being afraid of Zhang Mingde cheating money, Huang Shitong also knew that the former had good medical knowledge.
In this case, let the other party take their pulse and see how much they can pick up.
There was a small pavilion next to it. Several people came to the pavilion and sat down, and Zhang Mingde began to take his pulse.
In just a moment, Zhang Mingde confirmed his guess.
He didn't speak, but stood up and shouted to Many Years who had finished running in the distance:
"After many years, come here."
After many years of waiting, Zhang Mingde did not explain anything to Huang Shitong.
The latter didn't ask, just looked at it curiously.
He still has this patience.
Many years later, he heard his master say:
"It's been almost half a year since I came to Hong Kong Island. Check this gentleman's pulse to see if your medical skills have deteriorated."
"Good master."
Instead of delaying, he readily agreed.
As his master said, it has indeed been half a year since he saw a doctor.
However, medical skills have certainly not declined.
If he hadn't gone to Europe in the meantime, he would have built a hospital now.
After returning in June, he was busy starting a business.
In fact, he can complete the accumulation of capital very quickly, but he cannot be too unconventional.
In short, you need to give them some time and space to grow. Otherwise, Sun Guohua and the others will definitely feel guilty when they see that they have become rich all at once after many years.
Although he didn't care much about these for many years, he was not alone. He also had a wife and children.
You have to think more carefully about everything and don't mess around.
Huang Shitong watched Many Years taking his pulse, his eyes full of curiosity.
"Mr. Huang, your physical condition can be said to be simple or complicated."
After taking the pulse, I didn't ask the other party for many years and directly judged the other party's specific situation.
"There is blockage in your body, which should be caused by taking medicine frequently. Also, all the organs in your body have reached the countdown."
hiss!
After hearing the three words "countdown", Huang Shitong's expression suddenly changed and he took a sharp breath:
"Doctor Xu, is there anything you can do?"
"Haha, Mr. Huang, don't be impatient yet."
Nuan Nian smiled dumbly, glanced at his master, and then said:
"You have also talked to my master many times, and I have heard about it too."
He explained the specific situation clearly to the other party. Huang Shitong's disease was geriatric disease, as well as some extended chronic diseases caused by taking too much medicine.
As the saying goes, medicine is divided into three parts poison, and Huang Shitong had been treated by many quack doctors before.
This person came to Hong Kong Island in the late 40s to seek survival and development.
Hong Kong Island at that time was also in chaos.
Many people who have just moved to Hong Kong Island are willing to do any job in order to make a living.
Therefore, Huang Shitong happened to meet a few quack doctors who claimed to be miracle doctors. To be precise, they were barefoot doctors who were deceiving.
It is not entirely true that these barefoot doctors do not understand medicine and pharmacy.
In fact, these people understand it very well and speak eloquently.
But even if the knowledge reserve is half a bucket of water, no matter what, it won't be able to pour out much.
Therefore, Huang Shitong, whose condition was obviously relatively simple, was forced to become disabled and his body was riddled with holes.
No wonder Huang Shitong no longer believes in so-called miracle doctors.
After many years of talking, Huang Shitong was already extremely excited.
After all, the situation described over the years is almost exactly the same.
As for whether it was because he had investigated him many years ago that he could understand his condition so clearly, Huang Shitong didn't believe it at all.
Even if one investigates his past, it is impossible to know his condition accurately.
Because those quack doctors have been thrown into the sea to feed the fishes. As for the neighbors near the quack doctors, how many of them know medicine and Chinese medicine?
Then there is only one truth, and that is that many years ago and his master Zhang Mingde were real doctors.
Moreover, the medical skills are not generally high.
With a trembling body and an excited mood, Huang Shitong asked seriously:
"Doctor Xu, can you treat my physical condition?"
Shaking his head for many years, Huang Shitong was instantly stunned, as if his body had been drained.
"No, my request is too much."
Hearing the other party's answer, many years ago, he was speechless: "Mr. Huang, I shake my head not to say I can't, but because your condition is very troublesome to treat. I don't have that much time, but you can ask my master."
His master has been doing nothing for half a year, and his hands are very itchy.
Since moving to Hong Kong Island, he initially visited various pharmacies, medicinal markets, etc.
Later, after understanding most of the medicinal materials on Hong Kong Island, he lost interest.
After all, he is a doctor himself, and he has been traveling all over the country for decades. Even though he has some medicinal materials from the south, he doesn't know much about them.
But after a period of time, I also knew the pharmacology of these unfamiliar medicinal materials, and naturally I had no idea of continuing to study further.
Many Chinese medicinal materials are replaceable.
For the same condition, different doctors may prescribe different medicines.
Of course, the prescriptions prescribed by Zhang Mingde and Duan Nian are definitely almost the same.
Because they are master and disciple, they share the same blood.
It may take many years, seven or eighty years, to learn more medical skills, and with the advancement of medicine, the prescriptions prescribed will definitely be somewhat different from the current prescriptions.
Traditional Chinese medicine also needs to keep pace with the times.
"Really? Can my body still be healed?"
Huang Shitong regained his energy after hearing what he had said for many years, and hurriedly wanted to confirm it again.
The latter did not answer, Zhang Mingde had already spoken.
"Well, you haven't lost your skills. Go ahead, you have nothing to do here."
Of course Zhang Mingde was very satisfied. What he said many years ago was actually said to him.
The past six months have been very busy for many years. Zhang Mingde, who lives under the same roof, is not blind, so of course he saw it.
Therefore, Huang Shitong's illness really didn't last many years.
"Dad, why did Grandpa Master call you over?"
Back at the basketball court, the little kids started chirping and asking questions.
"Your grandpa is inspecting me. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's play ball."
Sports like basketball are not very friendly to little kids.
But since the basketball court was built, the little kids are still very enthusiastic about basketball.
In other words, they all like sports, whether it is tennis, basketball, or boxing, they like them all.
Because they prefer playing than sitting in the classroom or studying in the study room.
After the morning exercise, it’s time for bathing and breakfast.
After breakfast, it's time for the little kids to go to school and take their exams.
Once they finish their exams, summer vacation will officially begin.
After sending the little kids to St. Paul’s Elementary School, I drove to Steel Wire Bay for many years.
More than a month has passed, and the overall construction progress of Steel Line Bay is still not fast.
Now, the foundation has just been built.
Three construction units were stationed at the same time to supervise each other. At the same time, two third-party supervision and testing agencies were hired from Bald Eagle and Gallic Chicken countries to ensure the progress and quality of the project.
After spending so much money, I don’t want to end up with a shoddy project after many years of acceptance.
He was a newbie on Hong Kong Island, completely new here, and he deserved it if he was deceived.
Therefore, he will find a third-party supervision agency from abroad instead of here on Hong Kong Island.
After all, Hong Kong Island is too small. In a city with a population of less than 400 million, there are only so many large companies. They must be related to each other, right?
Looking directly from abroad will save these three construction companies from playing bribery games.
In addition to these third parties, Gascoigne, Robert, Benedict and others will also come to inspect the construction site.
The permanent management here is Alexander, the head of Rolls-Royce in Hong Kong Island.
I walked around the construction site for many years and chatted with Alexander for a few words. I didn't leave the construction site until ten o'clock.
He is the designer and knows the entire construction site best.
Therefore, he only needs to take a look at the construction progress to know where it is now.
Naturally, 24 hectares of land cannot be filled with high-rise buildings.
Regarding this piece of land, I have wanted to design it based on the Apple headquarters for many years, but unfortunately this place is too small.
It doesn’t seem good to design it as an oval egg research and development center.
Finally, over the years, they have been designed to look like mushrooms after a rain.
There are high and low buildings, and the overall architectural style of each high-rise building is like bamboo shoots rising from the ground, or like a bullet.
Three of the buildings are at the corners of each other and will be about 200 meters high.
Only in this way can we accommodate as many employees as possible.
Because it is conceivable that the future Rolls-Royce company will definitely not have less than 1000 R&D personnel.
Currently, there are only more than 200 R&D personnel coming from London.
But recently in Hongfa Building, recruitment has been going on for more than a month, and the number of R&D personnel has rapidly expanded to 500 people.
These people are elites from all over the world, high-end talents who have spent huge sums of money to recruit them over many years.
Many of them are senior engineers from General Electric, Snecma, Lockheed Martin, etc., and even from Skunk Works.
You know, Skunk Works is the secret base of the Bald Eagle country.
After the average person goes in, it is almost impossible to get out, let alone get dug out.
Of course it is not that easy to dig for many years.
In a capital country, as long as you have money.
Mainly because this engineer was so awesome that he was able to escape from Skunk Works without being discovered.
But he was hiding in Bald Eagle East. It was too unsafe to live in such a state of fear.
So after hearing that there was a recruitment of aerospace engineers on Hong Kong Island, Stephen McQueen came over.
Stephen was hiding well, but who let him encounter him for so many years?
The latter recognized him at a glance as he had worked in Lawrence Laboratory.
Many years ago, I still remember that Lawrence Lab had a cooperation project with Skunk Works, and Stephen McQueen was an intermediate technician.
However, it has been many years since he recognized the origin of the other party, but he has no intention of revealing the other party's identity.
Since the other party is willing to remain anonymous, then let him or her do whatever he wants.
With today's communication technology, the bald eagle's tentacles cannot reach Hong Kong Island.
Even though there is a CIA on Hong Kong Island, it has a purpose.
After leaving the construction site, I came to the Zhongyong Daily office many years ago.
After sitting for a while, he returned to Deep Water Bay.
Now in July, Zhongyong Daily and New Economic Daily have completely secured the top two spots in the Hong Kong newspaper industry.
It may not be as influential as Ming Pao and Ta Kung Pao, but its sales have been stable at more than 35 copies.
And, as time goes by, the influence of the two newspapers will definitely exceed that of other newspapers.
After all, sales volume often represents the huge influence of the newspaper itself.
The two novel peripherals, comics and toys, have also attracted many novel authors in Hong Kong to contribute to New Economic Daily and Zhongyong Daily.
Because as long as you go out, it is very simple to make a lot of money.
In the afternoon, many years ago came to Shanhai Publishing House and asked Andy to notify Huang Sicheng and Shu Ming to come over.
Not long after, the latter two came to the office. After sitting down, they took out three plans from their bags.
"After these few months of hard work, we have established a firm foothold in the Hong Kong newspaper industry."
The opening words were very humble, which made Shu Ming and the three of them somewhat admired.
The boss is always so low-key and reserved, so humble!
However, the boss named one of the newspapers Zhongyong Daily, which actually explains the problem.
I guess that's the boss's personality.
“Now that we have established a firm foothold, it’s time to forge ahead.”
After a pause, he went on to say:
"This plan is about the plan for Mingyue Novel Newspaper."
A novel newspaper is a platform that only publishes novels. It is similar to a newspaper, but not exactly the same, because it is a book similar to a magazine.
In addition to some novels published at the same time, there will also be monthly tickets, book friend reviews, etc., which is similar to later Chinese online platforms.
Taking a serialization of [-] words per book as a baseline, a novel newspaper can publish at most twenty novels.
Even if it only publishes twenty novels, it is still very impressive.
Moreover, this novel newspaper also launched a creator competition, with a total prize pool of 100 million Hong Kong dollars.
How to obtain these bonuses will be reviewed based on monthly tickets, book reviews and other data, in a fair and open manner.
hiss!
Shu Ming, Huang Sicheng and Andy were shocked after reading it.
Is it too fast to fully develop such a platform?
Moreover, this is likely to affect the sales of Zhongyong Daily and New Economic Daily.
Faced with the doubts and worries raised by the two of them, many years ago he smiled and said:
"You may not have read the plan carefully. Do you know where these book reviews come from?"
"Also, who told you that Zhongyong Daily and New Economic Daily will no longer continue serializing novels?"
Book reviews will be sent back from the pages of the supplements of the three newspapers. You can also come directly to the newspaper office to submit book review letters.
Even for submissions, similar methods can be used.
The rules for monthly tickets are somewhat similar to those for book reviews. They are all issued through monthly tickets published by the three newspapers themselves and delivered through different channels such as newsstands.
Of course, if you want to play these, it means that the investment will be very large.
After all, the editor alone requires a lot, and the collection of book reviews and monthly tickets all require a lot of manpower to handle.
Therefore, this matter is not that simple.
"Also, boss, we only have over 300 million people on Hong Kong Island. What if no one comments?"
"Haha, don't worry about this problem. I plan to establish overseas branches in Sing Tao, Malay Peninsula, Siam, Medan, Tokyo and other places. When the time comes, readers in these places will also submit book reviews and monthly votes. "
It took many years to explain it to them.
It took Shu Ming and the other three people more than two hours to finally fully understand the plan.
After understanding, it’s time to start executing.
First of all, a person in charge must be selected. Shu Ming and the three of them each recommend one person, and then for a period of three months, they will see how the business modules they are responsible for are doing.
When the time comes, just wait for many years of judgment.
"Andy, the tasks of Shanhai Publishing House will be even more demanding in the future, so you must do a good job in logistics tasks and don't let anything slip. Do you hear me?"
The plan was finalized, and Andy couldn't help but tell him over the years.
The latter nodded solemnly, indicating that he would definitely live up to his expectations.
In fact, the wages and benefits at Shanhai Publishing House are very good.
Based on the current situation, the basic salary of a night shift printing worker is around HKD 350.
For example, the performance in June was not bad, and the night shift printing workers received a direct salary of 450 Hong Kong dollars.
There are not so many printing workers on the day shift, only about 370.
These wages are higher than those of many white-collar workers.
The average salary of white-collar editors at Shanhai Publishing House, New Economic Daily and Zhongyong Daily exceeds [-] yuan.
Far higher than the level of the same industry.
The novel newspaper platform plan is being prepared in an orderly manner.
The plan began to roll out the day after Xiaodoubao and his four children finished their final exams.
Afa is a restaurant waiter near West Kowloon and works at Li Kee Tea Restaurant every day.
Afa, who earns 180 yuan a month, is quite satisfied with his job.Although the salary is not very high, he only needs to support himself, so there is no pressure at all.
There are five people in his family, his parents are both working, one sister is married, and he has a younger brother who is currently studying in Form Three.
"Da Kou Fa, where did you die again? Go to the street, come and clear the table, do you want me to deduct your salary?"
At Li Ji Tea Restaurant, at [-]:[-] p.m., the proprietress stood at the checkout counter of the restaurant and cursed.
I thought there weren't many people there, but Afa, who had already passed the peak dining period, went to the toilet.
I have to solve the water bill problem at the speed of light, and then hurry up and go back to the restaurant to clear the table.
'Damn you, if I hadn't found a good job, I would have resigned! '
Although he was smiling on the outside, he was still very unhappy inside.
After all, no one likes to be scolded, and everyone hopes that their work can be respected by others.
By [-]:[-] in the afternoon, the restaurant was finally empty and we could stop and rest.
After devouring the meal, he hurried home with his mouth full.
His home is located in the nearby Lijing Building commercial building, which his parents bought with grit.
At that time, it was a loan business launched by Lixin Real Estate Co., Ltd. and Hang Seng Bank to buy a house. The down payment was 700 yuan and the monthly payment was 410 yuan.
It's very cheap.
The combined monthly salary of Dakoufa's parents is 600 yuan, which is enough to pay off the monthly payment.
Da Kou pays his monthly salary of 180 yuan, pays 100 yuan for household expenses every month, and provides two meals at the tea restaurant, so he can save a lot of money every month.
However, in the past six months, Dakoufa has spent [-] cents every day to buy newspapers from Zhongyong Daily.
Because he particularly liked The Deer and the Cauldron, and then Gui Chui Deng appeared, and he immediately fell in love with it.
Today was the same as usual. He took the newspaper he bought in the morning home and planned to hide at home and read it slowly.
When I was at Li Ji Tea Restaurant, it was a problem to go to the restroom and fish in the presence of the proprietress, let alone peek at the newspaper.
Newspapers are usually sold out in the morning, and in the afternoon, they are gone.
After all, Zhongyong Daily is so popular that every day seems to be not enough, and there is basically no possibility of any leftovers.
On the contrary, for big newspapers such as Hong Kong Commercial Daily and Sing Pao, every time I pass by in the afternoon, I can still see several unsold copies.
Not only the sales volume, but also many of Dakoufa’s friends are discussing The Deer and the Cauldron or Ghost Blowing the Lantern.
On the contrary, many fewer people discuss the novels serialized in newspapers such as Hong Kong Commercial Daily and Ming Pao.
At home on the 23rd floor of Lijing Building, after returning to my room, I immediately took out the newspaper and started reading.
The two serialized novels "The Deer and the Cauldron" and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" are serialized at [-] words per day, no more.
Therefore, I finished reading it in less than half an hour.
"Damn, it's so short and weak again. This author is a bitch. Every time he breaks a chapter to the most critical moment, can't he finish it in one go?"
After reading it, Dakoufa couldn't help but complain.
Almost every time after reading the newspaper, he would be fascinated and couldn't help but curse a few words.
There is no way, if you want to see it, you can only wait until the next day.
And after he bought it, he couldn't see it immediately because Li Ji Tea Restaurant had to go there very early to make preparations.
Many jobs in the kitchen and front office are inseparable from Da Koufa. Otherwise, others would not be able to give him a salary of 180 yuan.
After all, he is just a restaurant waiter, not a technical position or white-collar worker, and there are no requirements for academic qualifications.
After thinking about it for a while, Dakoufa watched the plot he just finished watching again.
The image in my mind became even more intense.
It's a pity that the following is no longer available and I can't read it today.
Resisting the urge to complain again, I flipped through the other pages of the newspaper.
Soon, he noticed news reports about the million-dollar prize creation competition.
"A million-dollar prize pool? Novel writing? Mingyue Novel Books? Novel platform?"
hiss!
Many keywords were read out by Dakou, and the rules for this competition and the novel platform were also announced one by one.
Dakoufa quickly understood the specific intention of this news.
In an instant, his heart began to move.
Because the prize money is really large, and this novel platform welcomes submissions from people from all walks of life.
This means that once the novels you create are included, they will be seen by many people.
Being famous is only second, royalties are what Dakoufa wants most urgently.
After all, he was really fed up with his job as a waiter at Li Ji Tea Restaurant.
But soon, Da Kou Fa became discouraged.
'I have written letters and submitted articles to Zhongyong Daily before, but they were directly rejected. I...'
Discouraged, he picked up the newspaper again and continued reading.
As a result, he quickly read the second page, which contained some comments about the creation of the novel. It was a manuscript written by the arsonist.
Novel creation does not require many elements or unbridled creativity.
When Dakou Fa saw this sentence, he couldn't help but want to complain.
But the other person was his favorite author, so he held back.
After Dakoufa read the entire article, he suddenly became excited.
Because this article explains several elements of novel creation and the importance of the beginning, and also mentions it at the end of the article, I will continue to share novel creation techniques and novel themes in the future.
Therefore, after reading it, Dakoufa already felt the sincerity of the other party.
At the same time, my brain also began to think about a question: Is it true that I can’t write a novel?
Thinking of this, Dakoufa quickly took out paper and pen and started writing.
Even though he had been rejected once, he still didn't give up.
The moment I first picked up the pen, the voice and smile of Mrs. Li Ji came to my mind. She was really a wealthy family!
Taking advantage of this long-accumulated resentment, Da Koufa quickly wrote the beginning of a thousand words.
'The Heart Arsonist once said that a conflict should be created at the beginning, and the plot should be simply explained.'
'But what should the novel be called?How should I write an introduction? '
'Return to the tea restaurant?return?No, it’s too vulgar!But the arsonist with a sweet heart once again said that the vulgar is the elegance.
For a while, Dakoufa was thinking about how to write a novel.
On this day in early July, two newspapers, Zhongyong Daily and New Economic Daily, published news about the writing competition and the novel platform. For a time, there were simply not too many people like Dakoufa in Hong Kong.
People who like to read newspapers are basically not illiterate.
Of course, there are also some old people who can only understand the news by listening to others reading newspapers.
But most people still have a little ink in their stomachs.
Although it is not a lot, for the sake of the million-dollar prize, everyone also picked up the pen and wanted to try it.
In the dark and narrow house in Kowloon Walled City, Ah Fai quickly went to the top floor with the newspaper he snatched.
Behind Ah Hui, there were several young people yelling:
"Nigga Hui is fighting in the street, don't run away if you have the ability."
"Don't let me catch you, or I'll beat you to death."
"The Yan family is rich and powerful, Hei Guihui, you are such a deadbeat"
Ah Hui didn't care at all. After reaching the top floor, there was finally light.
He opened the newspaper and quickly saw the contents.
After browsing through it, he quickly learned about the creation competition and the rules of the million-dollar prize pool.
"I must submit the article, I need the money"
However, the problem Ah Hui needs to solve is paper and pen.
In addition, he also had to deal with the pursuit and interception of the gangsters behind him.
Otherwise, not to mention bonuses, even submitting articles would be a luxury.
There are many young people similar to Ah Hui, and they all have dreams.
Several young bad guys from Heliansheng also found out about the million-dollar bonus, and their eyes suddenly glowed with blue light.
Who doesn’t want to get money?
For a time, the whole Hong Kong was in a state of excitement because of the plan that had been proposed for many years.
Ming Pao Headquarters, King's Road, North Point, Hong Kong Island.
Shen Baoxin also saw the news on New Economic Daily and Zhongyong Daily, and suddenly felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.
He hurried to Jin Dada's office and wanted to discuss countermeasures.
Because this Mingyue Novels magazine is obviously digging the graves of other newspapers.
To be more precise, they are digging Ming Pao's grave.
Although at this time Ming Pao no longer needed novels to please the public.
But it should not be said that the Tian Long Ba Bu written by Jin Dada is indeed very beautiful. This is also a magic weapon for Ming Pao to maintain sales.
Originally, the two newspapers New Economic Daily and Zhongyong Daily were at the head of Ming Pao.
Now, what kind of Mingyue novels are you planning to publish?
Wouldn’t this cost Mingpao’s life?
"Let's follow suit. Aren't we just throwing money away? It's like no one has any money."
Jin Dada was also furious. Once the platform of Mingyue Novels and Books was established, the consequences would be disastrous.
Anyway, the entire Hong Kong newspaper industry will undergo a major reshuffle.
No one has ever sold a book as a newspaper. No matter how low the price is, it will eventually have a huge impact on the newspaper industry such as Ta Kung Pao, Ming Pao, and Sing Tao Daily.
No one wants to buy a book like this, right?
"No, we don't know the price of this Mingyue novel book yet."
Shen Baoxin thought for a while and shook his head to reject the proposal.
"Besides, it's a bit too aggressive for us to follow up directly now. What if we draw water from a bamboo basket?"
"Besides, none of us can guarantee whether other newspapers will follow suit, right?"
At this moment, the phone on Jin Dada's desk rang.
Jin Dada answered the phone, hummed a few times, and then said he would participate.
"Whose phone number?"
"The chief editor of Sing Tao Daily, Pan Huichen, called. He has contacted Sing Pao, Ta Kung Pao, Hong Kong Island Commercial Daily, etc. to discuss the matter together."
"Okay, then should I go to participate or should you go?"
Of course it was Mr. Jin who came over. After all, he was the big boss and he had been contacted directly just now.
The Mingyue Novels and the Million Dollar Prize Writing Contest are no small things, and everyone in the newspaper industry feels like a mountain of pressure.
Although it was just a launch plan, this plan was too appalling.
Once this Mingyue novel book is successful, no one will be able to bear the consequences.
No. 72, Deep Water Bay. I have been playing tennis with the kids at home for many years.
The children, who are already on summer vacation, have nothing to do but love to play.
The air tickets and everything have been booked, and the flight will take place tomorrow night.
Lou Xiao'e, mother and daughter will also go together. They have not gone for thousands of years, and the youngest, Xu Yilian, will also stay on Hong Kong Island.
"Dad, your phone number!"
At the door of the living room, Bai Doufu rushed out and shouted loudly.
"Okay, I'll be right here!"
The phone rang just now and Bai Doufu picked up the phone because she didn't play tennis today, but was watching TV with Xu Xiahao and Brother Jing in the house.
After sweating profusely, I came to the living room and answered the phone.
"Boss, we just learned the news that Pan Huichou, the editor-in-chief of Sing Tao Daily, contacted the owners or editors of Ming Pao and other newspapers and came to Sing Tao Building to discuss the matter."
Huang Sicheng was on the other end of the phone, and his tone was a little worried.
Mingyue Novels and Books has just launched its plan, so it can’t die halfway.
After hearing this for many years, he smiled:
"They are scared, that's right, it doesn't matter, we just have to do our own thing, and leave the outside moves and black hands to me."
Time has just passed. After many years, if you don’t believe the words of the four major Chinese detectives, there will be people who won’t listen?
Anyone who dares to reach out will be guaranteed to chop off the other person's hand for many years.
However, under the current circumstances, it is difficult to say that they will jump over the wall in a hurry.
Besides, he was about to leave Hong Kong Island, so he might as well chat with Senior Superintendent Hyman James.
The latter is a senior member of the police force, so his words must have weight, right?
However, when I called Hyman James for many years, no one answered.
"You're on the street. You're not going out to fool around again, are you?"
The era without mobile communications was really a lot of trouble.
I have been speechless for many years. I can only go out tonight and find someone to send a message to the Chinese detectives.
It has been a while since he came to Hong Kong Island, and he has learned more or less about the senior officials on Hong Kong Island.
The current Governor is named David, and he is also the most powerful person on Hong Kong Island.
All judicial and legislative powers are in the hands of the governor, who can be said to be the emperor of the country.
However, since he is the Tu Emperor, it is not that easy to attack this person.
"Forget it, let's chat with the Governor to save us from trouble next time!"
That night, many years came to the Governor's Palace.
Garden Road is the center of Hong Kong Island, not only the Government House, but also the HSBC Bank headquarters, consulates, etc.
The architecture of the Government House is full of colonial style, introducing large windows and balconies suitable for subtropical areas on British architecture.
Basically, each governor-general would add to and modify the governor's palace.
Especially during the Anti-Japanese War, a tower was built in the center of the Governor's Palace, which was disgustingly ugly.
Since it is the Governor's Mansion, it is certain that it will be heavily guarded.
It is definitely not possible to sneak into the Governor's Mansion through regular channels without alerting the guards.
There are no less than a hundred guards inside and outside the entire Governor's Mansion. These people are either active G4 agents, the Flying Tigers, or royal agents.
Anyway, the guards are very powerful and have many weapons.
Having never followed the normal path for many years, it was too easy to enter the Governor's Palace.
After entering the first floor, the floor was restored over the years.
Then he went upstairs and found the study room, where David was working.
At eight o'clock in the evening, if there are no parties or dances, it must be in the study.
The study can also be said to be the place where the governor works. After all, he is the emperor of the country. Although Hong Kong Island is not big, it definitely has a lot of affairs.
"David, hello!"
The study door was pushed open and closed again.
David, who was reading a book, heard a voice and thought it was his assistant or his wife.
As a result, he heard a strange voice and immediately looked up at this stranger who had been there for many years.
"Who are you? Who let you in? Where's John?"
David said in a deep voice, but he had an ominous feeling in his heart.
He showed his white teeth after many years and said:
"Excuse me, David, let's negotiate a deal."
Half an hour later, many years left the Governor's Palace quietly.
But David was not reassured at all, and quickly called John in.
When the latter saw David covered with stab wounds, his expression suddenly changed: "Governor, come quickly!"
The entire Governor's Mansion suddenly fell into panic.
The study is no longer a safe place, and even the entire Governor's Mansion has become very unsafe.
Are all the hundreds of guards outside just drunkards?
David was almost killed when he was quietly entered into the study.
David, who was being treated by a doctor, issued several orders in succession, asking people to search the entire Governor's Mansion inside and out.
Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you still have to find a secret passage leading to the Governor's Mansion.
Only the existence of a secret passage can explain why someone can directly reach the interior of the Governor's Palace and come to the study on the second floor.
It's a pity that they spent a whole night and couldn't find any useful clues.
"What? How can you not find it? Are you looking for it seriously?"
After David heard the news, his anger level was instantly full:
"I almost got killed last night. God, are you all just pretending to be shit?"
"I don't care what method you use, you must find the prisoner as soon as possible, otherwise, you will die!"
The governor at this time was extremely powerful.
His words are more effective than the Prime Minister of Great Britain.
John was suddenly so nervous that he broke into sweat, and he cursed in his heart the thief who broke into the Governor's Mansion.
But, it didn't help in the end.
At around ten o'clock in the morning, I came to the Governor's Mansion again after many years, confirmed the room where David was currently located, and went directly to find him.
Along the way, he evaded all the guards and appeared in front of David easily.
When the latter saw that many years later, his whole face turned pale instantly.
"Ha, David, it seems you didn't listen to what I said last night."
Looking at the pale David, he smiled even more happily in many years.
"I said, I will come to you, just do it. It seems that you are not satisfied with this deal? It doesn't matter. I have enough time. Let's take our time in the future. Is that okay with you? "(End of chapter)
He quickly said: "Brother Zhang, please help me take a look."
If they had just met, Huang Shitong would not have asked Zhang Mingde to take his pulse.
But we have known each other for a while, and since we have been together for many years, we are really not short of money.
Therefore, the possibility that Zhang Mingde wanted to deceive him was very small.
You know, Huang Shitong also knows that he has been a writer for many years, and he is also a shareholder of a newspaper, and he also founded the Yaya Toy Factory.
Not to mention The Deer and the Cauldron and Ghost Blowing the Lamp that were created over the years, Yaya Toy Factory has completely sold out like crazy in the past few months.
Products are being distributed throughout Hong Kong Island, and business has also been extended to Baodao, Bangzi, Tokyo and Southeast Asia.
I heard that the revenue in June exceeded [-] million Hong Kong dollars.
Specifically, Huang Shitong is also in business. After a brief understanding, he knew that there was no moisture at all in this revenue.
Even this legendary revenue is considered conservative.
Therefore, many years ago, the family was not short of money at all.
In addition to not being afraid of Zhang Mingde cheating money, Huang Shitong also knew that the former had good medical knowledge.
In this case, let the other party take their pulse and see how much they can pick up.
There was a small pavilion next to it. Several people came to the pavilion and sat down, and Zhang Mingde began to take his pulse.
In just a moment, Zhang Mingde confirmed his guess.
He didn't speak, but stood up and shouted to Many Years who had finished running in the distance:
"After many years, come here."
After many years of waiting, Zhang Mingde did not explain anything to Huang Shitong.
The latter didn't ask, just looked at it curiously.
He still has this patience.
Many years later, he heard his master say:
"It's been almost half a year since I came to Hong Kong Island. Check this gentleman's pulse to see if your medical skills have deteriorated."
"Good master."
Instead of delaying, he readily agreed.
As his master said, it has indeed been half a year since he saw a doctor.
However, medical skills have certainly not declined.
If he hadn't gone to Europe in the meantime, he would have built a hospital now.
After returning in June, he was busy starting a business.
In fact, he can complete the accumulation of capital very quickly, but he cannot be too unconventional.
In short, you need to give them some time and space to grow. Otherwise, Sun Guohua and the others will definitely feel guilty when they see that they have become rich all at once after many years.
Although he didn't care much about these for many years, he was not alone. He also had a wife and children.
You have to think more carefully about everything and don't mess around.
Huang Shitong watched Many Years taking his pulse, his eyes full of curiosity.
"Mr. Huang, your physical condition can be said to be simple or complicated."
After taking the pulse, I didn't ask the other party for many years and directly judged the other party's specific situation.
"There is blockage in your body, which should be caused by taking medicine frequently. Also, all the organs in your body have reached the countdown."
hiss!
After hearing the three words "countdown", Huang Shitong's expression suddenly changed and he took a sharp breath:
"Doctor Xu, is there anything you can do?"
"Haha, Mr. Huang, don't be impatient yet."
Nuan Nian smiled dumbly, glanced at his master, and then said:
"You have also talked to my master many times, and I have heard about it too."
He explained the specific situation clearly to the other party. Huang Shitong's disease was geriatric disease, as well as some extended chronic diseases caused by taking too much medicine.
As the saying goes, medicine is divided into three parts poison, and Huang Shitong had been treated by many quack doctors before.
This person came to Hong Kong Island in the late 40s to seek survival and development.
Hong Kong Island at that time was also in chaos.
Many people who have just moved to Hong Kong Island are willing to do any job in order to make a living.
Therefore, Huang Shitong happened to meet a few quack doctors who claimed to be miracle doctors. To be precise, they were barefoot doctors who were deceiving.
It is not entirely true that these barefoot doctors do not understand medicine and pharmacy.
In fact, these people understand it very well and speak eloquently.
But even if the knowledge reserve is half a bucket of water, no matter what, it won't be able to pour out much.
Therefore, Huang Shitong, whose condition was obviously relatively simple, was forced to become disabled and his body was riddled with holes.
No wonder Huang Shitong no longer believes in so-called miracle doctors.
After many years of talking, Huang Shitong was already extremely excited.
After all, the situation described over the years is almost exactly the same.
As for whether it was because he had investigated him many years ago that he could understand his condition so clearly, Huang Shitong didn't believe it at all.
Even if one investigates his past, it is impossible to know his condition accurately.
Because those quack doctors have been thrown into the sea to feed the fishes. As for the neighbors near the quack doctors, how many of them know medicine and Chinese medicine?
Then there is only one truth, and that is that many years ago and his master Zhang Mingde were real doctors.
Moreover, the medical skills are not generally high.
With a trembling body and an excited mood, Huang Shitong asked seriously:
"Doctor Xu, can you treat my physical condition?"
Shaking his head for many years, Huang Shitong was instantly stunned, as if his body had been drained.
"No, my request is too much."
Hearing the other party's answer, many years ago, he was speechless: "Mr. Huang, I shake my head not to say I can't, but because your condition is very troublesome to treat. I don't have that much time, but you can ask my master."
His master has been doing nothing for half a year, and his hands are very itchy.
Since moving to Hong Kong Island, he initially visited various pharmacies, medicinal markets, etc.
Later, after understanding most of the medicinal materials on Hong Kong Island, he lost interest.
After all, he is a doctor himself, and he has been traveling all over the country for decades. Even though he has some medicinal materials from the south, he doesn't know much about them.
But after a period of time, I also knew the pharmacology of these unfamiliar medicinal materials, and naturally I had no idea of continuing to study further.
Many Chinese medicinal materials are replaceable.
For the same condition, different doctors may prescribe different medicines.
Of course, the prescriptions prescribed by Zhang Mingde and Duan Nian are definitely almost the same.
Because they are master and disciple, they share the same blood.
It may take many years, seven or eighty years, to learn more medical skills, and with the advancement of medicine, the prescriptions prescribed will definitely be somewhat different from the current prescriptions.
Traditional Chinese medicine also needs to keep pace with the times.
"Really? Can my body still be healed?"
Huang Shitong regained his energy after hearing what he had said for many years, and hurriedly wanted to confirm it again.
The latter did not answer, Zhang Mingde had already spoken.
"Well, you haven't lost your skills. Go ahead, you have nothing to do here."
Of course Zhang Mingde was very satisfied. What he said many years ago was actually said to him.
The past six months have been very busy for many years. Zhang Mingde, who lives under the same roof, is not blind, so of course he saw it.
Therefore, Huang Shitong's illness really didn't last many years.
"Dad, why did Grandpa Master call you over?"
Back at the basketball court, the little kids started chirping and asking questions.
"Your grandpa is inspecting me. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's play ball."
Sports like basketball are not very friendly to little kids.
But since the basketball court was built, the little kids are still very enthusiastic about basketball.
In other words, they all like sports, whether it is tennis, basketball, or boxing, they like them all.
Because they prefer playing than sitting in the classroom or studying in the study room.
After the morning exercise, it’s time for bathing and breakfast.
After breakfast, it's time for the little kids to go to school and take their exams.
Once they finish their exams, summer vacation will officially begin.
After sending the little kids to St. Paul’s Elementary School, I drove to Steel Wire Bay for many years.
More than a month has passed, and the overall construction progress of Steel Line Bay is still not fast.
Now, the foundation has just been built.
Three construction units were stationed at the same time to supervise each other. At the same time, two third-party supervision and testing agencies were hired from Bald Eagle and Gallic Chicken countries to ensure the progress and quality of the project.
After spending so much money, I don’t want to end up with a shoddy project after many years of acceptance.
He was a newbie on Hong Kong Island, completely new here, and he deserved it if he was deceived.
Therefore, he will find a third-party supervision agency from abroad instead of here on Hong Kong Island.
After all, Hong Kong Island is too small. In a city with a population of less than 400 million, there are only so many large companies. They must be related to each other, right?
Looking directly from abroad will save these three construction companies from playing bribery games.
In addition to these third parties, Gascoigne, Robert, Benedict and others will also come to inspect the construction site.
The permanent management here is Alexander, the head of Rolls-Royce in Hong Kong Island.
I walked around the construction site for many years and chatted with Alexander for a few words. I didn't leave the construction site until ten o'clock.
He is the designer and knows the entire construction site best.
Therefore, he only needs to take a look at the construction progress to know where it is now.
Naturally, 24 hectares of land cannot be filled with high-rise buildings.
Regarding this piece of land, I have wanted to design it based on the Apple headquarters for many years, but unfortunately this place is too small.
It doesn’t seem good to design it as an oval egg research and development center.
Finally, over the years, they have been designed to look like mushrooms after a rain.
There are high and low buildings, and the overall architectural style of each high-rise building is like bamboo shoots rising from the ground, or like a bullet.
Three of the buildings are at the corners of each other and will be about 200 meters high.
Only in this way can we accommodate as many employees as possible.
Because it is conceivable that the future Rolls-Royce company will definitely not have less than 1000 R&D personnel.
Currently, there are only more than 200 R&D personnel coming from London.
But recently in Hongfa Building, recruitment has been going on for more than a month, and the number of R&D personnel has rapidly expanded to 500 people.
These people are elites from all over the world, high-end talents who have spent huge sums of money to recruit them over many years.
Many of them are senior engineers from General Electric, Snecma, Lockheed Martin, etc., and even from Skunk Works.
You know, Skunk Works is the secret base of the Bald Eagle country.
After the average person goes in, it is almost impossible to get out, let alone get dug out.
Of course it is not that easy to dig for many years.
In a capital country, as long as you have money.
Mainly because this engineer was so awesome that he was able to escape from Skunk Works without being discovered.
But he was hiding in Bald Eagle East. It was too unsafe to live in such a state of fear.
So after hearing that there was a recruitment of aerospace engineers on Hong Kong Island, Stephen McQueen came over.
Stephen was hiding well, but who let him encounter him for so many years?
The latter recognized him at a glance as he had worked in Lawrence Laboratory.
Many years ago, I still remember that Lawrence Lab had a cooperation project with Skunk Works, and Stephen McQueen was an intermediate technician.
However, it has been many years since he recognized the origin of the other party, but he has no intention of revealing the other party's identity.
Since the other party is willing to remain anonymous, then let him or her do whatever he wants.
With today's communication technology, the bald eagle's tentacles cannot reach Hong Kong Island.
Even though there is a CIA on Hong Kong Island, it has a purpose.
After leaving the construction site, I came to the Zhongyong Daily office many years ago.
After sitting for a while, he returned to Deep Water Bay.
Now in July, Zhongyong Daily and New Economic Daily have completely secured the top two spots in the Hong Kong newspaper industry.
It may not be as influential as Ming Pao and Ta Kung Pao, but its sales have been stable at more than 35 copies.
And, as time goes by, the influence of the two newspapers will definitely exceed that of other newspapers.
After all, sales volume often represents the huge influence of the newspaper itself.
The two novel peripherals, comics and toys, have also attracted many novel authors in Hong Kong to contribute to New Economic Daily and Zhongyong Daily.
Because as long as you go out, it is very simple to make a lot of money.
In the afternoon, many years ago came to Shanhai Publishing House and asked Andy to notify Huang Sicheng and Shu Ming to come over.
Not long after, the latter two came to the office. After sitting down, they took out three plans from their bags.
"After these few months of hard work, we have established a firm foothold in the Hong Kong newspaper industry."
The opening words were very humble, which made Shu Ming and the three of them somewhat admired.
The boss is always so low-key and reserved, so humble!
However, the boss named one of the newspapers Zhongyong Daily, which actually explains the problem.
I guess that's the boss's personality.
“Now that we have established a firm foothold, it’s time to forge ahead.”
After a pause, he went on to say:
"This plan is about the plan for Mingyue Novel Newspaper."
A novel newspaper is a platform that only publishes novels. It is similar to a newspaper, but not exactly the same, because it is a book similar to a magazine.
In addition to some novels published at the same time, there will also be monthly tickets, book friend reviews, etc., which is similar to later Chinese online platforms.
Taking a serialization of [-] words per book as a baseline, a novel newspaper can publish at most twenty novels.
Even if it only publishes twenty novels, it is still very impressive.
Moreover, this novel newspaper also launched a creator competition, with a total prize pool of 100 million Hong Kong dollars.
How to obtain these bonuses will be reviewed based on monthly tickets, book reviews and other data, in a fair and open manner.
hiss!
Shu Ming, Huang Sicheng and Andy were shocked after reading it.
Is it too fast to fully develop such a platform?
Moreover, this is likely to affect the sales of Zhongyong Daily and New Economic Daily.
Faced with the doubts and worries raised by the two of them, many years ago he smiled and said:
"You may not have read the plan carefully. Do you know where these book reviews come from?"
"Also, who told you that Zhongyong Daily and New Economic Daily will no longer continue serializing novels?"
Book reviews will be sent back from the pages of the supplements of the three newspapers. You can also come directly to the newspaper office to submit book review letters.
Even for submissions, similar methods can be used.
The rules for monthly tickets are somewhat similar to those for book reviews. They are all issued through monthly tickets published by the three newspapers themselves and delivered through different channels such as newsstands.
Of course, if you want to play these, it means that the investment will be very large.
After all, the editor alone requires a lot, and the collection of book reviews and monthly tickets all require a lot of manpower to handle.
Therefore, this matter is not that simple.
"Also, boss, we only have over 300 million people on Hong Kong Island. What if no one comments?"
"Haha, don't worry about this problem. I plan to establish overseas branches in Sing Tao, Malay Peninsula, Siam, Medan, Tokyo and other places. When the time comes, readers in these places will also submit book reviews and monthly votes. "
It took many years to explain it to them.
It took Shu Ming and the other three people more than two hours to finally fully understand the plan.
After understanding, it’s time to start executing.
First of all, a person in charge must be selected. Shu Ming and the three of them each recommend one person, and then for a period of three months, they will see how the business modules they are responsible for are doing.
When the time comes, just wait for many years of judgment.
"Andy, the tasks of Shanhai Publishing House will be even more demanding in the future, so you must do a good job in logistics tasks and don't let anything slip. Do you hear me?"
The plan was finalized, and Andy couldn't help but tell him over the years.
The latter nodded solemnly, indicating that he would definitely live up to his expectations.
In fact, the wages and benefits at Shanhai Publishing House are very good.
Based on the current situation, the basic salary of a night shift printing worker is around HKD 350.
For example, the performance in June was not bad, and the night shift printing workers received a direct salary of 450 Hong Kong dollars.
There are not so many printing workers on the day shift, only about 370.
These wages are higher than those of many white-collar workers.
The average salary of white-collar editors at Shanhai Publishing House, New Economic Daily and Zhongyong Daily exceeds [-] yuan.
Far higher than the level of the same industry.
The novel newspaper platform plan is being prepared in an orderly manner.
The plan began to roll out the day after Xiaodoubao and his four children finished their final exams.
Afa is a restaurant waiter near West Kowloon and works at Li Kee Tea Restaurant every day.
Afa, who earns 180 yuan a month, is quite satisfied with his job.Although the salary is not very high, he only needs to support himself, so there is no pressure at all.
There are five people in his family, his parents are both working, one sister is married, and he has a younger brother who is currently studying in Form Three.
"Da Kou Fa, where did you die again? Go to the street, come and clear the table, do you want me to deduct your salary?"
At Li Ji Tea Restaurant, at [-]:[-] p.m., the proprietress stood at the checkout counter of the restaurant and cursed.
I thought there weren't many people there, but Afa, who had already passed the peak dining period, went to the toilet.
I have to solve the water bill problem at the speed of light, and then hurry up and go back to the restaurant to clear the table.
'Damn you, if I hadn't found a good job, I would have resigned! '
Although he was smiling on the outside, he was still very unhappy inside.
After all, no one likes to be scolded, and everyone hopes that their work can be respected by others.
By [-]:[-] in the afternoon, the restaurant was finally empty and we could stop and rest.
After devouring the meal, he hurried home with his mouth full.
His home is located in the nearby Lijing Building commercial building, which his parents bought with grit.
At that time, it was a loan business launched by Lixin Real Estate Co., Ltd. and Hang Seng Bank to buy a house. The down payment was 700 yuan and the monthly payment was 410 yuan.
It's very cheap.
The combined monthly salary of Dakoufa's parents is 600 yuan, which is enough to pay off the monthly payment.
Da Kou pays his monthly salary of 180 yuan, pays 100 yuan for household expenses every month, and provides two meals at the tea restaurant, so he can save a lot of money every month.
However, in the past six months, Dakoufa has spent [-] cents every day to buy newspapers from Zhongyong Daily.
Because he particularly liked The Deer and the Cauldron, and then Gui Chui Deng appeared, and he immediately fell in love with it.
Today was the same as usual. He took the newspaper he bought in the morning home and planned to hide at home and read it slowly.
When I was at Li Ji Tea Restaurant, it was a problem to go to the restroom and fish in the presence of the proprietress, let alone peek at the newspaper.
Newspapers are usually sold out in the morning, and in the afternoon, they are gone.
After all, Zhongyong Daily is so popular that every day seems to be not enough, and there is basically no possibility of any leftovers.
On the contrary, for big newspapers such as Hong Kong Commercial Daily and Sing Pao, every time I pass by in the afternoon, I can still see several unsold copies.
Not only the sales volume, but also many of Dakoufa’s friends are discussing The Deer and the Cauldron or Ghost Blowing the Lantern.
On the contrary, many fewer people discuss the novels serialized in newspapers such as Hong Kong Commercial Daily and Ming Pao.
At home on the 23rd floor of Lijing Building, after returning to my room, I immediately took out the newspaper and started reading.
The two serialized novels "The Deer and the Cauldron" and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" are serialized at [-] words per day, no more.
Therefore, I finished reading it in less than half an hour.
"Damn, it's so short and weak again. This author is a bitch. Every time he breaks a chapter to the most critical moment, can't he finish it in one go?"
After reading it, Dakoufa couldn't help but complain.
Almost every time after reading the newspaper, he would be fascinated and couldn't help but curse a few words.
There is no way, if you want to see it, you can only wait until the next day.
And after he bought it, he couldn't see it immediately because Li Ji Tea Restaurant had to go there very early to make preparations.
Many jobs in the kitchen and front office are inseparable from Da Koufa. Otherwise, others would not be able to give him a salary of 180 yuan.
After all, he is just a restaurant waiter, not a technical position or white-collar worker, and there are no requirements for academic qualifications.
After thinking about it for a while, Dakoufa watched the plot he just finished watching again.
The image in my mind became even more intense.
It's a pity that the following is no longer available and I can't read it today.
Resisting the urge to complain again, I flipped through the other pages of the newspaper.
Soon, he noticed news reports about the million-dollar prize creation competition.
"A million-dollar prize pool? Novel writing? Mingyue Novel Books? Novel platform?"
hiss!
Many keywords were read out by Dakou, and the rules for this competition and the novel platform were also announced one by one.
Dakoufa quickly understood the specific intention of this news.
In an instant, his heart began to move.
Because the prize money is really large, and this novel platform welcomes submissions from people from all walks of life.
This means that once the novels you create are included, they will be seen by many people.
Being famous is only second, royalties are what Dakoufa wants most urgently.
After all, he was really fed up with his job as a waiter at Li Ji Tea Restaurant.
But soon, Da Kou Fa became discouraged.
'I have written letters and submitted articles to Zhongyong Daily before, but they were directly rejected. I...'
Discouraged, he picked up the newspaper again and continued reading.
As a result, he quickly read the second page, which contained some comments about the creation of the novel. It was a manuscript written by the arsonist.
Novel creation does not require many elements or unbridled creativity.
When Dakou Fa saw this sentence, he couldn't help but want to complain.
But the other person was his favorite author, so he held back.
After Dakoufa read the entire article, he suddenly became excited.
Because this article explains several elements of novel creation and the importance of the beginning, and also mentions it at the end of the article, I will continue to share novel creation techniques and novel themes in the future.
Therefore, after reading it, Dakoufa already felt the sincerity of the other party.
At the same time, my brain also began to think about a question: Is it true that I can’t write a novel?
Thinking of this, Dakoufa quickly took out paper and pen and started writing.
Even though he had been rejected once, he still didn't give up.
The moment I first picked up the pen, the voice and smile of Mrs. Li Ji came to my mind. She was really a wealthy family!
Taking advantage of this long-accumulated resentment, Da Koufa quickly wrote the beginning of a thousand words.
'The Heart Arsonist once said that a conflict should be created at the beginning, and the plot should be simply explained.'
'But what should the novel be called?How should I write an introduction? '
'Return to the tea restaurant?return?No, it’s too vulgar!But the arsonist with a sweet heart once again said that the vulgar is the elegance.
For a while, Dakoufa was thinking about how to write a novel.
On this day in early July, two newspapers, Zhongyong Daily and New Economic Daily, published news about the writing competition and the novel platform. For a time, there were simply not too many people like Dakoufa in Hong Kong.
People who like to read newspapers are basically not illiterate.
Of course, there are also some old people who can only understand the news by listening to others reading newspapers.
But most people still have a little ink in their stomachs.
Although it is not a lot, for the sake of the million-dollar prize, everyone also picked up the pen and wanted to try it.
In the dark and narrow house in Kowloon Walled City, Ah Fai quickly went to the top floor with the newspaper he snatched.
Behind Ah Hui, there were several young people yelling:
"Nigga Hui is fighting in the street, don't run away if you have the ability."
"Don't let me catch you, or I'll beat you to death."
"The Yan family is rich and powerful, Hei Guihui, you are such a deadbeat"
Ah Hui didn't care at all. After reaching the top floor, there was finally light.
He opened the newspaper and quickly saw the contents.
After browsing through it, he quickly learned about the creation competition and the rules of the million-dollar prize pool.
"I must submit the article, I need the money"
However, the problem Ah Hui needs to solve is paper and pen.
In addition, he also had to deal with the pursuit and interception of the gangsters behind him.
Otherwise, not to mention bonuses, even submitting articles would be a luxury.
There are many young people similar to Ah Hui, and they all have dreams.
Several young bad guys from Heliansheng also found out about the million-dollar bonus, and their eyes suddenly glowed with blue light.
Who doesn’t want to get money?
For a time, the whole Hong Kong was in a state of excitement because of the plan that had been proposed for many years.
Ming Pao Headquarters, King's Road, North Point, Hong Kong Island.
Shen Baoxin also saw the news on New Economic Daily and Zhongyong Daily, and suddenly felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.
He hurried to Jin Dada's office and wanted to discuss countermeasures.
Because this Mingyue Novels magazine is obviously digging the graves of other newspapers.
To be more precise, they are digging Ming Pao's grave.
Although at this time Ming Pao no longer needed novels to please the public.
But it should not be said that the Tian Long Ba Bu written by Jin Dada is indeed very beautiful. This is also a magic weapon for Ming Pao to maintain sales.
Originally, the two newspapers New Economic Daily and Zhongyong Daily were at the head of Ming Pao.
Now, what kind of Mingyue novels are you planning to publish?
Wouldn’t this cost Mingpao’s life?
"Let's follow suit. Aren't we just throwing money away? It's like no one has any money."
Jin Dada was also furious. Once the platform of Mingyue Novels and Books was established, the consequences would be disastrous.
Anyway, the entire Hong Kong newspaper industry will undergo a major reshuffle.
No one has ever sold a book as a newspaper. No matter how low the price is, it will eventually have a huge impact on the newspaper industry such as Ta Kung Pao, Ming Pao, and Sing Tao Daily.
No one wants to buy a book like this, right?
"No, we don't know the price of this Mingyue novel book yet."
Shen Baoxin thought for a while and shook his head to reject the proposal.
"Besides, it's a bit too aggressive for us to follow up directly now. What if we draw water from a bamboo basket?"
"Besides, none of us can guarantee whether other newspapers will follow suit, right?"
At this moment, the phone on Jin Dada's desk rang.
Jin Dada answered the phone, hummed a few times, and then said he would participate.
"Whose phone number?"
"The chief editor of Sing Tao Daily, Pan Huichen, called. He has contacted Sing Pao, Ta Kung Pao, Hong Kong Island Commercial Daily, etc. to discuss the matter together."
"Okay, then should I go to participate or should you go?"
Of course it was Mr. Jin who came over. After all, he was the big boss and he had been contacted directly just now.
The Mingyue Novels and the Million Dollar Prize Writing Contest are no small things, and everyone in the newspaper industry feels like a mountain of pressure.
Although it was just a launch plan, this plan was too appalling.
Once this Mingyue novel book is successful, no one will be able to bear the consequences.
No. 72, Deep Water Bay. I have been playing tennis with the kids at home for many years.
The children, who are already on summer vacation, have nothing to do but love to play.
The air tickets and everything have been booked, and the flight will take place tomorrow night.
Lou Xiao'e, mother and daughter will also go together. They have not gone for thousands of years, and the youngest, Xu Yilian, will also stay on Hong Kong Island.
"Dad, your phone number!"
At the door of the living room, Bai Doufu rushed out and shouted loudly.
"Okay, I'll be right here!"
The phone rang just now and Bai Doufu picked up the phone because she didn't play tennis today, but was watching TV with Xu Xiahao and Brother Jing in the house.
After sweating profusely, I came to the living room and answered the phone.
"Boss, we just learned the news that Pan Huichou, the editor-in-chief of Sing Tao Daily, contacted the owners or editors of Ming Pao and other newspapers and came to Sing Tao Building to discuss the matter."
Huang Sicheng was on the other end of the phone, and his tone was a little worried.
Mingyue Novels and Books has just launched its plan, so it can’t die halfway.
After hearing this for many years, he smiled:
"They are scared, that's right, it doesn't matter, we just have to do our own thing, and leave the outside moves and black hands to me."
Time has just passed. After many years, if you don’t believe the words of the four major Chinese detectives, there will be people who won’t listen?
Anyone who dares to reach out will be guaranteed to chop off the other person's hand for many years.
However, under the current circumstances, it is difficult to say that they will jump over the wall in a hurry.
Besides, he was about to leave Hong Kong Island, so he might as well chat with Senior Superintendent Hyman James.
The latter is a senior member of the police force, so his words must have weight, right?
However, when I called Hyman James for many years, no one answered.
"You're on the street. You're not going out to fool around again, are you?"
The era without mobile communications was really a lot of trouble.
I have been speechless for many years. I can only go out tonight and find someone to send a message to the Chinese detectives.
It has been a while since he came to Hong Kong Island, and he has learned more or less about the senior officials on Hong Kong Island.
The current Governor is named David, and he is also the most powerful person on Hong Kong Island.
All judicial and legislative powers are in the hands of the governor, who can be said to be the emperor of the country.
However, since he is the Tu Emperor, it is not that easy to attack this person.
"Forget it, let's chat with the Governor to save us from trouble next time!"
That night, many years came to the Governor's Palace.
Garden Road is the center of Hong Kong Island, not only the Government House, but also the HSBC Bank headquarters, consulates, etc.
The architecture of the Government House is full of colonial style, introducing large windows and balconies suitable for subtropical areas on British architecture.
Basically, each governor-general would add to and modify the governor's palace.
Especially during the Anti-Japanese War, a tower was built in the center of the Governor's Palace, which was disgustingly ugly.
Since it is the Governor's Mansion, it is certain that it will be heavily guarded.
It is definitely not possible to sneak into the Governor's Mansion through regular channels without alerting the guards.
There are no less than a hundred guards inside and outside the entire Governor's Mansion. These people are either active G4 agents, the Flying Tigers, or royal agents.
Anyway, the guards are very powerful and have many weapons.
Having never followed the normal path for many years, it was too easy to enter the Governor's Palace.
After entering the first floor, the floor was restored over the years.
Then he went upstairs and found the study room, where David was working.
At eight o'clock in the evening, if there are no parties or dances, it must be in the study.
The study can also be said to be the place where the governor works. After all, he is the emperor of the country. Although Hong Kong Island is not big, it definitely has a lot of affairs.
"David, hello!"
The study door was pushed open and closed again.
David, who was reading a book, heard a voice and thought it was his assistant or his wife.
As a result, he heard a strange voice and immediately looked up at this stranger who had been there for many years.
"Who are you? Who let you in? Where's John?"
David said in a deep voice, but he had an ominous feeling in his heart.
He showed his white teeth after many years and said:
"Excuse me, David, let's negotiate a deal."
Half an hour later, many years left the Governor's Palace quietly.
But David was not reassured at all, and quickly called John in.
When the latter saw David covered with stab wounds, his expression suddenly changed: "Governor, come quickly!"
The entire Governor's Mansion suddenly fell into panic.
The study is no longer a safe place, and even the entire Governor's Mansion has become very unsafe.
Are all the hundreds of guards outside just drunkards?
David was almost killed when he was quietly entered into the study.
David, who was being treated by a doctor, issued several orders in succession, asking people to search the entire Governor's Mansion inside and out.
Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you still have to find a secret passage leading to the Governor's Mansion.
Only the existence of a secret passage can explain why someone can directly reach the interior of the Governor's Palace and come to the study on the second floor.
It's a pity that they spent a whole night and couldn't find any useful clues.
"What? How can you not find it? Are you looking for it seriously?"
After David heard the news, his anger level was instantly full:
"I almost got killed last night. God, are you all just pretending to be shit?"
"I don't care what method you use, you must find the prisoner as soon as possible, otherwise, you will die!"
The governor at this time was extremely powerful.
His words are more effective than the Prime Minister of Great Britain.
John was suddenly so nervous that he broke into sweat, and he cursed in his heart the thief who broke into the Governor's Mansion.
But, it didn't help in the end.
At around ten o'clock in the morning, I came to the Governor's Mansion again after many years, confirmed the room where David was currently located, and went directly to find him.
Along the way, he evaded all the guards and appeared in front of David easily.
When the latter saw that many years later, his whole face turned pale instantly.
"Ha, David, it seems you didn't listen to what I said last night."
Looking at the pale David, he smiled even more happily in many years.
"I said, I will come to you, just do it. It seems that you are not satisfied with this deal? It doesn't matter. I have enough time. Let's take our time in the future. Is that okay with you? "(End of chapter)
