We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

Chapter 455 Judy Foster is Coming to Hong Kong

Chen Zhibai, at the headquarters of "Oriental Daily," was in his office dealing with work matters.

"Knock knock knock." There was a knock on the door.

"The door isn't locked, come in," Chen Zhibai said, looking up at the door.

The door was pushed open, and Wang Zhigang, the head of the Liaison Department, entered.

"President Chen, good news! We have a very high chance of breaking our own sales record this time!" Wang Zhigang looked delighted.

"Oh? What's the news?" Chen Zhibai put down the report in his hand and asked with a smile.

Last night, after making the news of Su Cheng's acquisition of "Oriental Daily" the headline of today's newspaper, Chen Zhibai felt that there was a chance for a big sale.

After all, both Su Cheng and the Ma family are currently popular topics of discussion in Hong Kong.

Therefore, Chen Zhibai, as the new general manager of "Oriental Daily," decided to increase the printing quantity of the latest issue to 600,000 copies.

Because, "Oriental Daily" had previously created a record of over 530,000 copies sold in a single day!

Before the rise of "Xia Yi Literary Daily," this record was almost unbreakable.

Since creating this record, "Oriental Daily's" sales have never surpassed this number again.

So, Chen Zhibai felt that this was a good opportunity to break the record.

And now, it's only noon, so it's impossible to count the complete sales data.

Therefore, he was also very curious as to why Wang Zhigang was so sure that this issue of "Oriental Daily" could break the previous record.

"According to feedback from multiple sales points, at least half of our sales points have sold out of "Oriental Daily" before noon. Basically, breaking the previous record is not a problem at all," Wang Zhigang said with a smile.

The 600,000 copies of the newspaper printed were already sold out by the company last night. Hearing that there was big news, many sales points increased their orders.

As the department responsible for internal and external liaison, the Liaison Department is the first to grasp this information.

"Oh, that's really good news. It's a pity that even if we sell all 600,000 copies of "Oriental Daily," we'll only be breaking our own record, and we won't be able to break the record of "Xia Yi Literary Daily." It's such a pity!" Chen Zhibai said with some emotion.

"President Chen, Mr. Su Cheng has become our boss. I believe that one day our "Oriental Daily" will be able to break the record of "Xia Yi Literary Daily!" Wang Zhigang said confidently.

Previously, the highest sales record of "Xia Yi Literary Daily" was 690,000 copies, almost breaking 700,000 copies.

This record is indeed relatively difficult to break.

However, Hong Kong's population is now growing rapidly, and the increase in population means that demand is getting bigger and bigger.

When "Oriental Daily" was first founded, Hong Kong's population was only 3.9 million.

Now, only 10 years have passed, and Hong Kong's population has reached 4.9 million.

In these 10 years, although Hong Kong's population has not doubled so terrifyingly, it has increased by a whole million people.

This will naturally greatly increase Hong Kong's consumption power.

"I also believe that we will break it sooner or later and regain our title of 'Hong Kong's Number One Newspaper'!" Chen Zhibai's eyes were full of determination.

He has witnessed the journey of "Oriental Daily" from a struggling newspaper with only a dozen employees to Hong Kong's largest news newspaper with thousands of employees today.

Therefore, his feelings for "Oriental Daily" are very deep.

Over the years, he has tried everything possible to increase the sales of "Oriental Daily."

Unfortunately, sometimes some strategies were directly rejected by the Ma family.

Now that "Oriental Daily" has been acquired by Su Cheng, it means that the resources available should be the same as those of the newspapers of Xia Yi Media Company.

Under such circumstances, Chen Zhibai felt that the position of "Oriental Daily" in the news field was basically stable, and there was no longer any possibility of being surpassed by "Xia Yi News Daily."

Sure enough, after another day passed, the sales figures for the previous day came out.

Unsurprisingly, "Oriental Daily's" sales broke the previous record it had created, reaching 587,000 copies, becoming the sales champion of Hong Kong newspapers on that day.

Although "Xia Yi Literary Daily" has now firmly established itself as Hong Kong's number one newspaper, its daily sales do not always reach more than 600,000 copies. Sometimes, during low tides, sales are only 400,000 to 500,000 copies.

Nevertheless, this sales figure is still out of reach for other newspapers in Hong Kong.

If "Oriental Daily" hadn't had some sales points that ordered too much and didn't sell out, it's estimated that breaking 600,000 in sales wouldn't have been a problem.

Su Cheng's acquisition of "Oriental Daily" seemed to have elevated his status in Hong Kong to another level.

After all, the influence of "Oriental Daily" is far greater than that of many companies with higher market values.

According to the arrangements of Namei Entertainment Company, Judy Foster will arrive in Hong Kong on January 15, which was also specially arranged by Su Cheng before.

After all, before New Year's Day, Su Cheng had already promised Judy Foster that he would let her come to Hong Kong to hold a concert.

In name, it is to develop the Asian market, but in reality, of course, it is because Judy Foster misses Su Cheng, her lover.

Of course, this is also a win-win situation.

Today, there are still three days before Judy Foster comes to Hong Kong. Perhaps because she is about to see her lover, Judy Foster has been calling Su Cheng very frequently these days. Sometimes, she can receive two or three calls from her a day.

In the phone calls, Judy Foster always likes to ask, what are some fun things to do in Hong Kong? What are some delicious things to eat? How is it different from cities in the United States?

"This little girl, it's been a while since I've seen her, I miss her quite a bit!" After hanging up the phone with Judy Foster, Su Cheng sat in the car and said to himself, with a smile on his face.

At this time, Su Cheng's Rolls-Royce was passing through the Cross-Harbour Tunnel in Hung Hom, and the signal light on the mobile phone had turned red.

Today, he specially went to Tseung Kwan O to inspect the progress. Now it is afternoon, so he is coming back from there.

After passing through the tunnel, the signal light on the mobile phone quickly turned green again.

A few minutes later, the phone rang.

"Hello, Boss, it's not easy, I finally got through to your phone. Are you free now? I have something to discuss with you." The person calling Su Cheng was Yang Chaoye, the president of Su's Group.

"I'm free, where are you? I'll come find you." Now the car is driving on the road in Causeway Bay, if Yang Chaoye is at the company, it is very convenient to go over.

"That's good, I'm in the office of Su's Group headquarters building, Boss, just come over!" Yang Chaoye replied.
