Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 172 Newspaper Interview
The key reason why the two Li brothers were surprised was that Wen Wei Po was a left-leaning newspaper.

The Lee brothers have always had little contact with the left-wing people in Hong Kong Island, and their leanings are even somewhat right-leaning, whether they are acquiring the right-leaning "Business Daily" or entering into cooperation with the Wanwan TV station.

Of course, these are mainly for doing business in Wanwan, which is still the largest market in Hong Kong Island!
Therefore, even if Li Wannian had the intention, he would not dare to contact him too blatantly.

However, this time, the other party came to me for no reason. I don’t know what they want to do?
"Hello, Reporter Yang!"

"Thank you Mr. Li for taking time out of your busy schedule to meet us!"

Soon after, Li Wannian met a reporter from Wenhui Po in Li Wannian's office.

There were two people coming, one old and one young, one male and one female.

This female reporter surnamed Yang looks young, about 30 years old. She has a majestic appearance, generous manners, and looks very decent.

The man behind him was a bit older, wearing glasses and with gray hair. He remained silent behind Reporter Yang.

However, the other party didn't say anything, so Li Wannian didn't ask.

"I wonder how much Mr. Li knows about our Wen Wei Po?"

"To tell you the truth, let's learn more about it! Wen Wei Po, a famous time-honored newspaper in Hong Kong Island, was born out of the original Shanghai..."

Despite Li Wannian's eloquent words now, in fact, Li Wannian didn't know much before.

He only knew the name and position of "Wen Wei Po". The reason why he could tell so much at this time was because he asked someone to ask questions temporarily when he invited reporters upstairs.

According to Li Wannian’s understanding, the predecessor of this newspaper was Wen Wei Po, founded in 1938.

It was later suspended by the then government in 1947, but with the efforts of all walks of life in Hong Kong, it was re-established on September 1948, 9.

Although this newspaper seems to be a private newspaper, it is actually inseparable from the mainland. Many policies are conveyed to Hong Kong Island through this newspaper!

"It seems that Mr. Li still knows our newspaper very well! In this case, can I officially start the interview?"

"No problem, please!"

Although Li Wannian didn't know what the other party's intentions were, he didn't seem to have any malicious intent in coming over like this.

"Mr. Li, you started painting when you were 13 years old. It has only been more than four years now, but you have already created achievements that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve. What do you think is the key factor in your success?"

"Well, I think it's mainly due to talent!"

"..."

Li Wannian's rude reply silenced Reporter Yang.

Although I know you are a genius, there is no need to praise yourself so much, right?You should be humble at least!

"Besides this, are there no other factors?"

Reporter Yang still wants to continue to make amends.

"Then add a little luck! After all, in terms of knowledge, hard work, market analysis, etc., there are many people in Hong Kong who are better than me. In comparison, my core competitiveness may only be talent (plug-in) and Good luck!"

Faced with Li Wannian's Versailles answer, Reporter Yang couldn't find anything to refute or question.

There is no way, I am awesome and I have the final say!
"I heard that your comic "Dragon Ball" has been popular in Neon recently. This is the pride of us Chinese people. What do you want to say about this?"

"This is nothing to be proud of. When was the Chinese cartoonist who became popular with neon, I was not the only one, and they were all looking at our artistic works. That was the time to be proud!"

Although Li Wannian still said these words very loudly, reporter Yang could not find any refutation.Only then did she realize that she had done too little preparation work and underestimated the difficulty of interviewing Li Wannian.

Just when Reporter Yang was helpless, the old man behind her finally spoke.

"I wonder what Mr. Li thinks about the mainland and Hong Kong Island?"

When the old man finally spoke, Li Wannian did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked, "What do you call this old gentleman?"

"I, Zeng Minzhi, am temporarily the deputy editor-in-chief of Wenhui Po!"

"It turns out to be Editor Zeng, so disrespectful!"

The old man with a plain appearance in front of him has a great background.

During the Anti-Japanese War, he participated in the Anti-Enemy Association of Literary and Art Circles and was later imprisoned by the Kuomintang. However, his greatest achievement was his life-long writings.

Facing such an old man, Li Wannian was naturally in awe. He had no pride in front of him.

"Mr. Li, you're welcome. We are reporters today and you are the subject of the interview. Let's get to the point!"

Seeing this situation, Li Wannian knew that he had some information. He was not so easy to fool as this little girl!

"In my opinion, Hong Kong Island is a special product produced in a special period and under a special geographical environment! No matter how Hong Kong Island develops, it cannot do without the mainland!"

"So you support reunification?"

"We are all Chinese, so we are a family!"

Li Wannian didn't say anything unnecessary, fearing that the other party would write something in the newspaper, but even so, it was enough to make the two people opposite him happy.

With such a clear statement, the other party is undoubtedly someone they can win over. It can be said that 80% of the purpose of their trip has been completed!

Obviously, the purpose of these two people's trip was not to interview Li Wannian, but to contact him and understand his thoughts.

Before they came, they had already investigated Li Wannian's background.

At a young age, he is already the most famous cartoonist in Hong Kong Island. More importantly, he is also a member of the Hong Kong Island Comics Association.

Although he is not the president, everyone knows that the Li family is the real power behind it.

Therefore, the attitude of the other party is particularly important. After all, what he represents is not just him, but the entire comic industry!

"It's great that Mr. Li can think so! Unification is the general trend, and it cannot be done by one person!"

"I have no doubts about this!"

"Speaking of which, Mr. Li probably hasn't been to the mainland yet, right?"

"Yes, I was born in Hong Kong Island and have never been back!"

At the same time, Li Wannian added in his heart: In this life.

"In this case, I hope Mr. Li can come to the mainland to experience the beautiful rivers and mountains when he has time!"

"Of course there's no problem. This is something I've always wanted to do but never had the chance!"

"There will be a chance!"

Zeng Minzhi didn't have any definite answer, he just said such an ambiguous statement, but to Li Wannian's ears, this statement carried more weight than any other answer!
Obviously, in this first contact, I have passed the test!
