Hong Kong Island's New Rich Era

Chapter 16 Newspaper
The next day, early in the morning, in the office of Orange Technology.

The first thing Liu Zhicheng does when he arrives at the office every day is to read the newspaper to get a glimpse of current real-time information and correct his memory biases.

Looking at the Oriental Daily in my hand, I couldn't help but feel emotional. This is going to be a very powerful newspaper in the next 20 years. Although it was established the latest among Hong Kong's leading newspapers, it is the fastest growing.

Liu Zhicheng was thinking about whether to start or buy a newspaper, mainly to give himself a voice. Secondly, it would give Juzi Technology its own publicity platform in the future.

After a while, Huo Haiqing came to report on his work. With the excess profits and continuous growth of Orange Technology, he now walks with the wind.

"Mr. Liu, good morning." As soon as he entered the door, Huo Haiqing greeted Liu Zhicheng with a smile.

"Sit down, I just need something from you."

"Please ask Mr. Liu for instructions." Huo Haiqing said as he opened his notebook to take notes, as if he was afraid of forgetting important instructions from his boss.

"It's nothing big. As for arcade development, the game is already in development, but don't forget to follow up on the hardware. This includes the aesthetic design of the exterior and the design of the assembly process. We should all start now."

"Don't worry, Mr. Liu. The predecessor of Orange Technology started out as an arcade machine manufacturer and there will be no delay in production." Huo Haiqing immediately made the assurance after hearing Liu Zhicheng's explanation.

"Well, we also have two industrial buildings that we should make full use of. I want to set up a fan factory and sell fans to Europe and the United States."

The more Liu Zhicheng spoke, the more motivated he became, but the more Huo Haiqing listened, the more confused he became. It seemed that the boss was just acting the way he planned.

"Mr. Liu, the fan production market has been divided up by major companies. If we try to force our way in and grab the market now, I'm afraid we won't have any advantage." Huo Haiqing obviously lacked confidence in the fan market. After all, this was something that didn't have much technological content.

"I have prepared for this. I plan to open up the market with the principle of small profits but quick turnover."

Liu Zhicheng plans to use low-priced fans to knock on the doors of large supermarkets such as Wal-Mart, Carrefour, and Metro. What is certain is that these companies are still in their infancy, and it is relatively easy to establish relationships with them now.

As long as we cooperate well with them, it will be relatively easy to promote our own products to Europe and the United States (mainly home game consoles, CDs and other electronic products).

"Boss, if we engage in dumping at low prices, it will be a bit unfriendly to our Hong Kong counterparts." Huo Haiqing has already understood that the boss really does not want to make money from the fan business.

"Don't worry about them for now. Go find a fan factory that we can acquire. Buy it at the market price and move it into the industrial park." Liu Zhicheng didn't give Huo Haiqing much time to think before he began to give orders.

"Okay, Mr. Liu." Seeing that his boss was so determined, Huo Haiqing had no choice but to follow the order.

After Huo Haiqing left the office, Liu Zhicheng called Su Kui and Wang Fengyun in to discuss new investment directions. Now that they have money, they must invest it.

The Spring Festival is coming soon, and Liu Zhicheng has to make some things clear. As a boss, the Spring Festival holiday may be longer than that of ordinary employees.

After Su Kui and Wang Fengyun came in, Liu Zhicheng said directly: "Lawyer Wang, I have several investment and mergers and acquisitions recently. You must follow up with all your strength and control the legal risks. One of them has been handed over to Huo Haiqing."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Liu, this is my duty." Wang Fengyun immediately assured.

"Well, Manager Su, I want to acquire a newspaper. Can you help me find out if there is a suitable one?" "Okay, Mr. Liu, I just want to know about this newspaper. Do you have any requirements?" Su Kui was not sure about the scale of the acquisition target, so he had to ask Liu Zhicheng to clarify, so as not to misunderstand his boss's intentions.

"My goal is to acquire a second-tier popular newspaper. Please inquire about it first and report back at any time."

Liu Zhicheng did not have too many requirements for the scale of the newspaper. With the support of capital, he did not believe that he could not run a newspaper well.

"Understood, Mr. Liu."

Liu Zhicheng chatted with the two of them about some people and things related to company management before concluding this work arrangement.

This year's New Year's Eve was on February 2th. Liu Zhiben originally thought that nothing would happen before the Spring Festival. Unexpectedly, just a few days later, Su Kui brought him news that a newspaper was sold. This surprised him a little. He didn't expect to get the news so soon.

Su Kui recommended a newspaper to Liu Zhicheng that could be acquired - Tiantian Daily, which was founded by the Wei family of Hong Kong's Ertiantang Pharmaceutical Factory in 1960.

Tian Tian Daily is a comprehensive daily newspaper that mainly publishes horse racing news and entertainment gossip. After more than ten years of development, its sales volume has gradually ranked among the top ten newspapers in Hong Kong.

Moreover, in history, Tiantian Daily reached its peak in the 20s and s, with sales reaching more than copies, making it the third largest newspaper in Hong Kong.

Tian Tian Daily is a newspaper in Hong Kong with a relatively rough history. It has changed hands several times. Although it has changed hands several times and created new glories several times, it could not escape the wheel of history in the end. It was announced to cease publication in the new century, and the curtain came to an end.

The purpose of the Wei family's initial establishment of the newspaper was to promote the products of their own pharmaceutical factory and advertise their own medicines. For the current Wei family, the Tiantian Daily is not something that is not for sale.

Anyway, the reputation of the Ertiantang brand has been established in Hong Kong. In addition, Hong Kong has just experienced a business crisis and the economy is in recession, so it can be sold as long as the price is right.

When Liu Zhicheng heard Ma Kui's report, he decided to acquire Tiantian Daily without much consideration and immediately sent an acquisition team led by Wang Fengyun to purchase Tiantian Daily.

When Wang Fengyun came to the door and expressed his intention to acquire Tiantian Daily, the Wei family did not put up too many obstacles. On the premise that both parties were willing, the acquisition negotiations went very smoothly.

After three days of friendly negotiations, the two sides reached an agreement to purchase all of its shares for HK$1.8 million. From then on, Tiantian Daily became Liu Zhicheng's property.

The management of a newspaper requires a certain degree of professionalism and is rather cumbersome. For example, Liu Zhicheng cannot manage the newspaper himself, as he has to hire a professional manager to manage the newspaper, such as controlling the content, developing new users, and consolidating old users.

Liu Zhicheng is quite satisfied with the current management of Tiantian Daily. Under their management, the newspaper is thriving and has achieved great results continuously, but it is still far from meeting his expectations.

Liu Zhicheng has only one requirement: No. 1 in sales!

Therefore, Liu Zhicheng decided to hold a meeting in person at the newspaper office before the New Year. It was not only a meeting, but also a mobilization meeting on "sales" and a year-end summary meeting.

　The contract has been signed, so readers can collect it with confidence.

　　Please collect, recommend, vote for monthly ticket, and ask for compensation!
