Stock buyback day.

Early morning, Wan Chai streets——

Entering the Spring Festival holiday, many people stay at home early in the morning and don't have to go to work to get a good night's sleep.

Although Hong Kong was ruled by British ghosts at this time, traditional holidays such as the Spring Festival still had to be observed. It was just a pain for the patrol police that they were not allowed to rest even during the holidays and were still patrolling the streets.

In response to Shi Zhijian's stock buyback, major newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong also gave extensive coverage.

"Is it because of wealth and unkindness, or is it love and justice? This newspaper continues to pursue the "Shi Zhijian stock buyback incident"!"

“From a cop to a tycoon, Shinhwa Group CEO Shi Zhijian’s business philosophy is to keep your promises!”

Among these reports, some people praised Shi Zhijian as a responsible person and a role model for many Hong Kong businessmen to learn from; there were also many doubts that Shi Zhijian was just showing off his personality and only talked the talk without doing anything!

Of course, since they are media people, most of them remain neutral until the matter is resolved. Even if they raise questions, they will leave themselves a way out.

To make a newspaper, you must have an industry conscience!

However, amidst these doubts, one newspaper launched a large-scale "personal attack" on Shi Zhijian personally, calling him a "black-hearted ghost", a "treacherous villain" and a "black-hearted capitalist with blood on his hands"!

This newspaper was newly established last year - "Oriental Daily"!

…

As Hong Kong's economy develops and citizens' demand for information increases, competition in the newspaper industry has gradually become fierce.

Hong Kong's "Ming Pao", "The Tiger", "Ta Kung Pao", and "Sing Tao Daily" are known as the "Four Kings" in the industry, and no one can shake the sales of these four newspapers.

The newly established "Oriental Daily" last year wants to get a piece of the pie and challenge the authority of these four major newspapers.

Unfortunately, facts have proven how difficult it is for "Oriental Daily" to achieve sales breakthroughs without a readership base.

Helpless, the newspaper had no choice but to go down the wrong path and open a "Horse Book" column, a "Zihua" column, and a "Stable" column in the newspaper, which can be said to be full of pornography, gambling and drugs.

Soon, the newspaper was seized by relevant Hong Kong authorities and ordered to make rectifications.

The "Oriental Daily" had just unblocked and happened to encounter the "Ricci Construction Delisting" incident. Without saying anything, the newspaper directly published a series of black materials, all of which targeted the young tycoon Shi Zhijian who was at the forefront of the limelight.

For a time, "Oriental Daily" relied on slandering Shi Zhijian to increase its sales and even rivaled "Ming Pao".

…

"Oriental Daily"——

In the president’s office——

As the founder of this newspaper, the boss Ma Xiru, who is known as the "dragon brother and tiger brother" of Xiangjiang, is fat and fat, smiles as if he is harmless to humans and animals, and personally brews a cup of Longjing tea and delivers it to the guests.

The second eldest child, Ma Xizhen, has a strong body and a domineering appearance. I can't stand it at the moment. How can the two brothers say that they have status and status in the world, why should they bow down to this person? Pu, your mother!

As we all know, the Ma brothers, like the lame tycoons, made their fortune by fishing for side jobs. One of the two brothers has a smart head, and the other has a strong fist.

The two Ma brothers fled to Hong Kong when they were young and worked as coolies on the docks but were bullied. Fortunately, the Chaozhou boss Wang Laoji helped them and adopted them as adopted sons.

After the two brothers grew up, they gradually took over their adoptive father's business and became gang bosses as famous as Lai Hao.

Looking at the guest again, he has a thin face, bright eyes, especially the aquiline nose, which makes him look very shrewd.

The reason why the boss, Ma Xiru, is very respectful to this person is because he is none other than Lei Luo, the famous police tycoon in Hong Kong.

"Boss Ma, do you know why I came to see you today?" Lei Luo asked.

Before Ma Xiru opened her mouth, Ma Xizhen, the second child, said angrily: "Is it a fee? How much more do you guys want to add?" As he spoke, he took out a cigarette and bit it on his mouth.

Luo shook his head before lighting the cigarette with banknotes.

"Second brother, how dare you talk to Inspector Lei like this?" Ma Xiru scolded Ma Xizhen.

"I'm telling the truth, and I'm not wrong!" Ma Xizhen crossed her legs and shook them with disdain.

Lei Luo seemed very calm and didn't care that one of the Ma brothers was a good guy and a bad guy.

"I'm not here for fees!" Lei Luo said, "I don't need to take action on such trivial matters."

Ma Xiru hurriedly shook the fat on his face and said: "Of course! Of course! Inspector Lei, you are a very busy man. Just let your subordinates, Chen Xijiu, do such small things!"

The good tea was pushed in front of Lei Luo, "Drink tea first!"

Lei Luo picked up the tea bowl, scraped the tea foam with the tea lid, and put it down gently. He seemed to be very satisfied with the attitude of the eldest Ma Xiru. As for the second eldest Ma Xizhen, he really didn't take it seriously. He was a big-headed and stupid idiot.

one!

"I came to you because of the Oriental Daily you recently founded!" Lei Luo said.

"Huh? Could it be that Inspector Lei is also interested in starting a newspaper?" Ma Xiru pretended to be confused, "If that's the case, we two brothers are willing to give you a share of the shares for Inspector Lei to invest in!"

Lei Luo laughed, no wonder everyone said that Ma Xiru, the boss of the Ma brothers, was nicknamed "Ghost Horse"! He is really cunning!

"But the newspaper business is not easy to do!" Ma Xiru sighed, "I thought that we two brothers could earn a living by making newspapers and no longer engage in illegal activities, but I didn't expect the competition in this industry to be so fierce! We

The two brothers had little education, little reading, and little literacy. They published some horse scriptures, calligraphy books, etc. in newspapers, but in the end they were shut down again. How miserable!"

Lei Luo directly threw the tea bowl he was holding on the table, with a little more force, bang! The water in the tea bowl splashed out, hitting the back of the boss Ma Xiru's hand!

Ma Xizhen's face changed while holding a cigarette in her mouth. She dared to demonstrate in front of the two brothers. Lei Luo didn't take them seriously!

However, Ma Xiru's expression did not change and she still smiled and said: "It doesn't matter! Inspector Lei didn't do it on purpose! He just wet the back of his hand and wiped it clean!"

While talking, Ma Xiru took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped the back of her hand. She looked at Lei Luo again and said, "Inspector Lei, this is Longjing tea. It clears away heat and eliminates internal heat. Drink more! I think you seem to be very angry!"

"I'm very angry!" Lei Luo no longer hides it, this Ma Xiru is like a dough, no matter how hard he fights, "Shi Zhijian is my brother-in-law! You let the newspaper smear him, just don't give me Lei Luo face!"

I don’t want it to happen again!”

"Wow! So Inspector Lei is here because of this matter? I'm so innocent!" Ma Xiru exclaimed, "Although I am the president of the newspaper, as I said just now, I don't know how to run a newspaper! We two brothers

They all have little education, and they are just pretending to sit in this seat! In fact, all newspapers and periodicals are run by the editor-in-chief, deputy editor-in-chief and others! Do you want me to call them over? They are all powerless literati. If you do

If you can’t help it, I’ll give you a beating! I’m sure your nose will be bruised, your face will be swollen, your skin will be bruised and your flesh will be bruised!”

Lei Luo was almost mad at this Ma Xiru!

In the past, Lei Luo would not have looked down upon the Ma brothers at all. At that time, Lei Luo had Lai Hao, a "big knife" that he could wield very smoothly and could completely sweep away other gangs. However, since he alienated Lai Hao,

It became difficult to find a replacement, so even though Lei Luo was promoted to chief inspector, he did not treat the Ma brothers as hard as before.

But Lei Luo was Lei Luo after all, and he immediately sneered: "Boss Ma, I don't have time to play riddles with you!" He stood up and pointed at Ma Xiru's nose, "From today on, if I see another sentence in your newspaper that slanders my brother

, I will let you rush to the street!"

"What did you say?" Before Ma Xiru could do anything, the grumpy Ma Xizhen stood up and said angrily.

Lei Luo turned to stare at him, his eyes like a falcon: "What, you don't accept it? Do you want to give it a try?!"

"Sit down!" Ma Xiru ordered his brother.

"Brother..."

"I asked you to sit down!" Ma Xiru's tone became stern.

Ma Xizhen had no choice but to relent and sat down with some resentment.

Ma Xiru stood up with a smile and greeted Lei Luo respectfully: "I, Mr. Ma, will remember what Inspector Lei just said! I promise you, this will never happen again!"

Lei Luo snorted coldly: "You can do it for yourself!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked away.

With a bang, the office door was slammed shut.

Ma Xizhen couldn't help but stood up and cursed: "Fuck you, Lei Luo! Others are afraid of you, but I'm not afraid of you! Do you really think you are a big boss and everyone around you has to listen to you? I'm your mother-in-law!"

"

Ma Xiru held the tea bowl and sipped the tea lightly, ignoring the young man's scolding Lei Luo. It was not until Ma Xizhen got tired of scolding that she said: "Interesting! I didn't expect the rumors in the world to be true, and that the relationship between Shi Zhijian and Lei Luo would be so strong.

!”

Ma Xizhen turned to look at her elder brother, "Boss, how long has it been and you are still thinking about this? Our newspaper sales have just gone up, are we going to die out like this?"

"Wow, my younger brother loves to learn, and he also understands the four-character idiom 'Quiet the flags and drums'!"

"Brother, please stop making fun of me!" Ma Xizhen threw the cigarette on the ground and crushed it with her foot, frowning, "The big water pipe behind us ordered us to discredit Shi Zhijian, are we going to stop like this?"

"What should we do if we don't stop?" Ma Xiru spread her hands, "You can see that Lei Luo is going crazy. If we continue to do this, we will get burned!"

"Then how do we account for the big water pipe?"

"Explain? Do you need it?" Ma Xiru blinked, "He doesn't even dare to show his true face, so we're going to give him an explanation!"

Ma Xizhen still wanted to speak, but Ma Xiru interrupted him and said: "Stop talking! Let's watch the show!"

…

Hongji Real Estate Company.

Li Zhaoji, a Hong Kong real estate tycoon, hung up the phone and rubbed his eyebrows with his hands. He felt very tired.

The phone call just now was from Ma Xizhen, the second eldest brother in "The Ma Brothers".

Ma Xizhen told Lei Luo's visit in detail on the phone. She also said that her boss Ma Xiru was timid and kowtowed to Lei Luo, which he didn't like, etc. She hoped that Li Zhaoji would give them more opportunities.

The two brothers advanced to the top and were no longer constrained by Lei Luo's control.
