Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 363 Magazines and Comics

Chu Qianqian was stunned, and after Ge Bai got excited and muttered several words, he finally understood.

Last night at around 10pm Hong Kong time and 2pm London time, Margaret’s White Knight participated in the 4km endurance race in Devon.

Not only did he win the championship, he also broke the record in one fell swoop.

When the white knight crossed the finish line, no one in the audience saw No. 2.

In other words, for other horse racing riders, they did not even see the back of the white knight, and the white knight had already completed the entire distance.

Coupled with the fact that the horse's owner is Margaret, this matter has caused a sensation in London.

Countless spectators and horse owners looked at the sweat-blooded horse in a new light.Many people have also begun to believe that sweat horses have stronger endurance than Arabian horses.

The desert people were very dissatisfied and unhappy about this, but after hearing the results of the White Knight, they could only put aside the argument temporarily.

I heard that several members of the desert royal family living in London have publicly stated that they will participate in the Windsor Castle Endurance Race at the end of June and early July.

He also publicly stated that he hopes the White Knight will directly participate in the Level 2 event, which is a 120-kilometer race.

Although Chu Xiangqian knew in his heart, no horse could be better than the white knight in an endurance race of several kilometers.

But after hearing this, I still felt excited.

As for the 120-kilometer race, Chu Xiangqian was even less worried.

In endurance races within 40 kilometers, the performance of Arabian horses is actually better than that of sweat horses.

This is a fact determined by the results of most endurance races around the world.

But in long-distance running, the advantages of sweating horses with thirst and quick recovery are reflected.

In the 5300-kilometer super race, only sweat horses can maintain the record of finishing all the participating horses.

Not to mention that the white knight's constitution has been increased by 1 point, which means that the horse's physical strength and endurance are about double that of all sweat horses.

At least the rider was in his right mind, and Chu Xiangqian couldn't think of a reason why the white knight would lose.

The white knight ran an endurance race championship, coupled with Margaret's own influence, and the media reported it with embarrassment.

This means that the market price of sweat-blooded horses has increased by [-]% to [-]% at least.

Moreover, the more beautiful the appearance and the more symmetrical the muscles and bones of the sweathorse, the higher the price will naturally be.

For horse owners like Ge Bai and others who bought dozens of bloody horses from Chu Xiangqian, this was the first time they actually saw a profit.

Of course, Chu Xiangqian will not suffer any loss. In the auction in a few days, the auction price of the bloody horse will definitely increase a lot.

If those 10 Arabian horses also look in good shape, just because the owners of these horses are the owners of white knights and champion knights, this reputation can increase the value of the 10 Arabian horses a lot.

When he handed over 400 bottles of tiger bone wine and 800 half-pound boxes of deer glue to Ichiro Matsuno, he didn't expect that this little trickster also knew about the champion knight and the white knight.

Just thinking about it, Chu Xiangqian guessed that he must have heard it from Carlos Nightwalker.

"Chu Sheng, not only have the tasks you assigned me been assigned, but at around 6 o'clock in the morning, news came from London that the female nightclub owner had been caught.

If my guess is correct, another target should have been captured during the time we met. "

Chu Xiangqian had no doubt about this. Ninja assassins were all masters of assassination and lurking.

Although arresting people is more troublesome than killing people, it is really not easy to deal with some gangsters.

As long as the person is caught and sent back to Hong Kong Island, he can easily exchange the account book for 500 million Hong Kong dollars from Hahn.

And what I paid was only more than 40 Hong Kong dollars.

For Ao Zunu, Chu completed two of the four scheduled tasks at once.

If the other two scheduled tasks are completed within a year, then Chu Xiangqian will definitely be the one who has posted the most tasks among all customers.

After Ichiro Matsuno finished speaking, he took out a bronze medal from his arms and handed it to Chu Qianqian with both hands.

"Chu Sheng, this is the status symbol of Ao Zunu's distinguished guests. Any customer who owns this bronze medal will not only be excluded from Ao Zunu's goals forever.

We are also willing to provide you with security tasks.

If you need a female ninja for personal service and protection, we can arrange it. "

Chu Qianqian smiled, but in his heart he didn't believe in the status symbol at all.

It's just that tiger bone wine and deer glue are very popular in the island country, and the money earned may be more than Ozunu's annual assassination mission.

Under the temptation of money, any rules can be changed.

He took the bronze medal and looked at it. On it was the unique family emblem of the island people. Chu Xiangqian didn't bother to ask what the emblem meant.

Smiling, he put the bronze medal away and asked, "Is your female ninja beautiful?"

Matsuno Ichiro was stunned for a moment, then showed a clear smile, "Chu Sheng, you should believe in our sincerity."

Chu Xiangqian laughed loudly, "Let's talk about this later."

Chu Xiangqian wanted an island girl to serve him. After all, in these days, women in the island country had not yet started boxing.

It is not an exaggeration to say that there are three obediences and four virtues.

But I still have concerns after all. It will be very troublesome to have a woman who is definitely a spy next to me, and there is a high probability that Feifei, Linda and Alyssa will be targeted.

If trouble breaks out, who knows if that island woman will attack Feifei and the others.

Matsuno Ichiro was immediately anxious. For the sake of his own future, he was willing to introduce the outstanding female ninjas from Aozunu to Chu Xiangqian, even if they were his own cousins ​​or cousins.

"Chu Sheng, have you never heard that women in our country are famous for being virtuous, gentle and considerate?"

Chu Qianqian curled his lips, "I've only heard that the cheating rate among women in island countries is over 5%."

Ichiro Matsuno immediately stopped and stood up suddenly, "Slander, this is slander."

Chu Xiangqian was not willing to argue with the little trickster in front of him.

"Okay, okay, let's break up if nothing happens. We'll contact you again when the two captured targets arrive on Hong Kong Island."

After saying that, Chu Qianqian stood up and left, casually waving his hands to Matsuno Ichiro as a farewell.

I drove to the newspaper office and was attracted by the construction site opposite before I even walked into the newspaper office building.

I simply hurried up to the rooftop of the newspaper office, looked around carefully for a few times, and secretly thought that the efficiency of the big and small Ma brothers was quite high.

In less than 20 days, the tidal flat opposite the newspaper office was not only leveled, but also paved with cement road.

There are also many construction materials and workers laying the foundations for the newspaper warehouse and printing factory.

Chu Qianqian watched on the rooftop for more than ten minutes, his ears twitching slightly. After a while, he saw the newspaper's editor-in-chief He Yisheng and his secretary walking quickly onto the rooftop.

"Boss, are you back?"

Chu nodded forward, pointed to the construction site and said, "How long will it take to finish here?"

He Yisheng followed Chu's forward finger, glanced at the construction site a few times, and said hurriedly, "Mr. Ma mentioned this to me after he came to inspect the construction site yesterday.

It will take about twenty days to complete the warehouse, wall and printing factory.It won't take more than a month to deal with some finishing matters. "

Chu Qianqian nodded with satisfaction, and then asked worriedly, "Don't just ask for speed, quality is the first priority."

He Yisheng hurriedly replied, "Don't worry, boss, one of the two Mr. Ma will come over every day and keep an eye on the construction site in person.

And I heard from the foreman that Mr. Xiao Ma said that if there is a problem with the project here, the foreman will be asked to pay triple the compensation.

If they can't afford to lose money, they will sink a few foremen into the sea. "

Chu Xiangqian laughed, he liked Xiao Ma's behavior.Otherwise, the foreman will 100% pay attention to the project.

"By the way, has the newspaper staff dormitory started construction?"

He Yisheng nodded again, "I heard that two gentlemen, Mr. and Mr. Ma, found a partner some time ago and imported a lot of steel and cement that are not high in price and of absolutely high quality.

The construction work in the dormitory was not slow because the materials were well prepared.

The two Mr. Ma also made a lot of money from steel bars and cement. "

When Chu Xiangqian heard this, he knew that the mainland must have exported a lot of steel bars and cement to the big and small horses.

If you make money, you will naturally be more motivated.

After chatting about the construction site, Chu Qianqian took He Yisheng downstairs and came to his office.

When Feifei saw her man coming to the newspaper office, her smile immediately brightened.

He quickly got up and went to make Blue Mountain coffee for Chu Qianqian.

He Yisheng also has a special liking for this kind of coffee. Before getting down to business, he said with a smile, "Boss, do you think I can make a profit if I buy blue coffee from Jamaica and open a coffee shop?"

Chu Qianqian was stunned and shook his head without thinking.

"If you open it, I will lose money keeping you. And it will be the kind of loss that goes to grandma's family."

He Yisheng was surprised, "Boss, aren't you also a lover of this kind of coffee? Why do you think other Hong Kong people can't accept this kind of coffee?"

Chu Xiangqian didn't want to talk to him about this kind of thing in detail. He wanted to promote a kind of coffee that had not yet been accepted by the market.

In addition to requiring a large amount of capital, it also takes a long time to slowly gain customer acceptance.

Just like cat poop coffee, before the 8s and 90s, this stuff was considered garbage in the eyes of most people.

Not only is it extremely cheap, many people simply say it is just like Yoneda Kyo.

From the very beginning, the ICAC on Hong Kong Island used this coffee as a means of torturing the willpower of the persons under investigation.

In the early 70s, anyone who asked the ICAC to buy coffee not only meant that they would be investigated, but also because most police officers knew that the ICAC's coffee was really terrible.

Of course, just like some people particularly like stinky tofu, some people just love drinking cat poop coffee.

After thinking about it, he simply said, "If you are really interested in opening a coffee shop, Feifei will cooperate with you on my behalf.

The specific operations will be left to you.I don’t want the profits, you are responsible for your own profits and losses. "

He Yisheng was overjoyed. This was equivalent to the boss providing the venue for free.

Without rent, the cost of a coffee shop is naturally lower.

"Thank you boss, I promise it won't affect the newspaper office, and I plan to let my wife take care of the coffee shop's business."

Chu waved his hand indifferently forward and looked at Feifei, who was cutting a cigar for him.

"Feifei, go find a store when you have time. If Mrs. He's coffee shop does well, I will buy another store in the future and open a coffee shop for you."

Feifei was overjoyed, but He Yisheng was moved, "Boss, how about we buy a coffee estate in Jamaica?"

Chu Qianqian waved his hand. If Blue Mountain Coffee wants to become famous, it cannot be achieved by just one or two rich people.

It took the islanders themselves more than ten to twenty years to make Blue Mountain Coffee famous.

"It's not necessary. Let's not mention this. Let's talk about the newspaper's sales during this period."

He Yisheng hurriedly restrained himself, opened a folder, and said with a serious expression, "Five days ago, the newspaper's sales officially exceeded 5 copies.

The sales data of the past few days also show that the newspaper has not only stabilized its performance of 5 copies per day, but its future sales should easily exceed 6 copies. "

Chu Xiangqian naturally knew that Oriental Daily's upper limit was daily sales of more than 50 copies.

But if you really want to achieve that goal, it depends on luck and specific operations.

However, with daily sales of 5 copies, it was considered a leading newspaper in this era.

After reading the report, Chu Xiangqian said with a smile, "It seems that the colleagues below are working hard and want me, the boss, to give them bonuses."

He Yisheng smiled, the boss paid out the bonus last month.

In the first ten days of this month, after the newspaper sold more than 4 copies per day, it was confirmed that the construction of employee dormitories would start.

If all the employees at the newspaper office don’t work hard, they will be really sorry for the boss’s big reward.

But the boss also offered bonuses, and no one would refuse.

He Yisheng smiled and said, "Then I will thank the boss on behalf of my colleagues."

Chu Qianqian laughed loudly, waved his hands and said, "As long as the sales can increase every month, I don't mind a monthly bonus."

There are only 145 people in the newspaper office, and the monthly salary is less than 3 Hong Kong dollars.

With a sales volume of 5 copies, the average profit per newspaper is 7 cents, which is 3500 yuan a day. The net profit for a month has exceeded 10 Hong Kong dollars.

In addition, newspaper advertising revenue will increase with more sales.

Now the advertising quotation for a day has reached 1500, and it is 4.5 Hong Kong dollars a month.

No wonder that in the 70s and 53s, the number of newspapers on Hong Kong Island surged from 2 in the city to more than [-].

After chatting with He Yisheng for another half hour about the newspaper, Chu Xiangqian hesitated for a few seconds, and then said to He Yisheng, "With the current manpower and level of the newspaper, is it possible to get involved in the magazine and comic industry?"

He Yisheng was stunned for a moment, but it only took a few seconds for him to become excited.

Since the boss is asking himself, plus he has always only focused on the big picture, regardless of the actual operation of the newspaper.

The magazines and comics will definitely be managed by themselves for a period of time, and then the editors-in-chief of the magazines and comics will be appointed based on the situation.

If I can manage these two departments and develop them well, I will definitely be the first choice for the editor-in-chief of the newspaper group.

But He Yisheng calmed down quickly and said, "Boss, I can definitely do it. But the newspaper is still on the rise, and I don't think resources can be allocated to magazines and comics departments in a short period of time.

In other words, coming up with results is not that fast. "

Chu Qianqian directly interrupted He Yisheng, "I'll leave this matter to you, gather people from the two departments together within three months, and the results will improve within half a year.

As for whether it can become a best-selling project, that is a task for you and the two department heads.

But I promise you that as long as you do well, you will be the first choice for the editor-in-chief of the newspaper group in the future.Of course, newspapers will be the focus for a long time to come. "
