Chapter 211: The End of Hong Kong Island

"This article draws heavily on books such as "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty", "The Biography of Tripitaka Master Ci'en of the Tang Dynasty", "The Poems of Tripitaka of the Tang Dynasty", as well as biographies of folk storytellers. Based on this, a traditional myth is written story."

In the office of the chairman of "Ming Pao", after Zhong Qu got the manuscript, he read it for two hours before putting it down. Zhang Qing said to him.

Zhong Qu did not make a sound, but closed his eyes to rest. After another five minutes, Zhong Qufang opened his eyes and said to the editor-in-chief Shen Bin who was still reviewing the manuscript: "A Bin, I did not choose the wrong successor. Man, you didn’t make the wrong choice!”

Shen Bin raised his eyes, glanced at Zhong Qu, and then at Zhang Qing, who looked pale, and sighed: "Yes, who can deny Qingzi's talent? Just with this "Journey to the West" 》, even those serious literati who look down on martial arts culture will have nothing to say. The integration of the strange stories that have been circulated for thousands of years into a book is already considered a merit for traditional culture !”

Zhong Qu looked at Zhang Qing and said happily: "I was so worried that you would be addicted to the entertainment industry. After all, in that circle, there is a lot of money and wealth, and there are many beauties. But writing stories and doing knowledge require time to calm down and accumulate accumulation. No. I thought that you had never relaxed yourself. I read in the newspaper that on the first day you came to Hong Kong Island, you went out to the bookstore and bought a lot of books. Those people also laughed at you for pretending. There are so many beauties around you at your age, and Kung Fu studying? Now it seems that you have indeed been studying."

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "I am still a student, so of course I focus on studying. After I finish this time, I will go back to study."

Zhong Qu laughed and said: "Qingzi, I envy you so much! With Miss Zhao here, you can do whatever you want, including reading and studying. If others can't, I can't! Because around me There is no capable Miss Zhao."

Shen Bin looked at Zhang Qing and said: "Sing Pao and Hong Kong Financial News both sent people to the mainland to find out about you. Their reports said that you have many industries in the mainland, including three factories and dozens of stores. , you just want to leave such a big fortune and go study?"

Zhang Qingdao: "I don't understand management and have no experience, so how can I manage it? At present, the reform of state-owned enterprises in mainland China is in full swing, and a large number of talents with management experience are flowing out, which can just promote the development of the private economy. I am lucky, I have a lover who is my high school teacher Help select which talents can do things and which ones can be officials."

Shen Bin shook his head repeatedly and said: "If you do it this way, the initial stage of your business will be fine. If a big company continues to do this, it will definitely be a mess!"

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Yes, fortunately, we are still in the initial stage of creation. Start working first, and then gradually regulate it. Sister Zhao has spent a lot of money to hire Hong Kong business elites and Western consulting companies that specialize in formulating systems for large companies. , went to the mainland, and worked with mainland business managers to develop a set of company articles suitable for the large company system of mainland enterprises. It cost one million US dollars and lasted three years to formulate it based on the specific conditions of the mainland. I don’t know if it will work. Let’s try it first. Let’s do it.”

Hearing what he said, Shen Bin was speechless. Zhong Qu laughed and said: "There should be no mainland enterprise that is willing to spend so much money to establish a system to restrain itself."

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Anyway, it's not a restriction on me. I'm only responsible for writing some things and occasionally making decisions. Most of them have nothing to do with the company."

Shen Bin suddenly understood that the purpose of Zhang Qing's words might be to reassure him. He took the initiative to ask: "Does Qing have any requirements for changes in the newspaper industry?"

Zhang Qing shook his head and said: "As long as you can really insist on fairness, neutrality, and seeking truth from facts, the newspaper industry's one-stop system and personnel will remain the same. The foundation laid by Zhong Sheng is very good. I will not think too highly of myself and think that I can come up with something." A smart idea, better than the decades of experience and wisdom of Zhong Sheng and Jiu Shu. However, if I think that the news reported by "Ming Pao" deviates from fairness, neutrality, seeking truth from facts, and can provide evidence, at that time , I hope Uncle Jiu that you can act fairly."

At this point, after all, the acquisition has not been completed yet. He told Zhong Qu again: "I took out this manuscript for another purpose, which is to ask Zhong Sheng to help polish it and rewrite it into a script, a TV script. .After completion, Zhong Sheng and I signed it together."

Zhong Qu was surprised when he heard this: "Why is this? Qingzi, I have been writing for many years."

Shen Bin thought he understood, and said with some emotion: "This book may not be a big hit at first, but as long as it is promoted properly, it may be more widely spread and more literary than ordinary martial arts works, and it may be remembered for many generations. Qingzai Is this to thank Zhong Sheng?"

Zhong Qu shook his head and refused: "How can I be a person who is just trying to gain fame? It's impossible."

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "I didn't have this intention. I just wanted to use Zhong Sheng's reputation and status in the Chinese world to promote the book as quickly as possible. Otherwise, this manuscript would be released under my personal name, but the vernacular text , launched under the joint names of me and Zhong Sheng. I also hope that "Ming Pao" can find a cartoonist and adapt it into a comic."

Zhong Qu asked in confusion: "Why are you so anxious?"

Zhang Qingdao: "The cultural export of the United States is so powerful that it is conquering cities and territories in Asia with almost overwhelming force. In the past ten years, the highest box office of a mainland movie was the American movie "Truth and Lies" released the year before last, with 10.5 billion. The second place is "The End of the World" released last year, with a box office of 96 million. In addition to Hong Kong Island, Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea and even the Gulf have been conquered by Hollywood blockbusters. Hong Kong Island... the last stronghold is also in danger. It is only a matter of time before it is breached.

I’m not saying that I want to compete with American imperialism on my own, that’s wishful thinking, but I’m also willing to do my best to contribute to the continued shine of Chinese traditional culture in Greater China, so that it won’t be too bleak.”

Before Zhong Qu spoke, Shen Bin was moved and praised repeatedly: "Qingzi, you are so ideal! I support you. Zhong Sheng did not choose the wrong person. You are the best successor to "Ming Pao"!"

Zhong Qu picked up the manuscript and looked at it for a few more times, then nodded and said: "Yes, I should support it, but I am old, and I am doing it alone. I don't have enough energy, and I am more than willing but not strong enough. It is inevitable that there will be omissions. It is better to invite more people." I am a good friend and will work together to get this thing done.

Qingzi, this road is difficult."

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "It's easy to make money, and it's easy to enjoy it, but what's the point? There are always some challenges in life, so do something meaningful."

Zhong Qu laughed and said: "Okay! You and I are very similar. We both have a romantic martial arts spirit in our bones. In order to adhere to the style of writing, "Ming Pao" has pushed away countless commercial advertisements, and the style of writing is not in line with "Ming Pao" Manuscript. To me, this is something meaningful.

By the way, you have so many things to do, so many factories to expand, and you are still eager to spend so much money to buy Ming Pao stocks... Do you have the money to spare? If not, I can lend you some."

His love for talent is getting stronger and stronger.

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "That's not necessary, I can still hold on now, and the settlement of royalties from other places has not been completed yet. It is really not enough, so I will ask Zhong Sheng again."

Zhongqu waved his hands and smiled and said: "This is a lie. You are noble and proud in your bones. How could you ask me to say this... Well, I will give you 30 million to use, and treat it as advance payment of royalties from other places. Waiting for overseas settlement.

After you're done, just deduct it from it."

Zhang Qing felt a little embarrassed and said, "Zhong Sheng, it's really enough for now."

Zhong Qu shook his head and said: "No need to say it anymore. "Sing Pao" has already calculated that even if you don't lose money on your concert, you won't make much money. Mainland China... probably won't be able to support you financially. Qingzi,

Don't refuse anymore. With your talent, these are not problems. Am I still afraid that you can't afford it?"

Zhang Qing nodded and said, "Thank you Zhong Sheng."

Although the current capital chain is not tight, it is indeed not abundant.

With an extra 30 million, it would be much easier...



January 12, 1997.

Hung Hom Sports Center.

The 12,500 seats were packed.

Thanks to Zhou Yanyan's reputation, the entire stadium was surrounded by roses and pink balloons.

It also made this concert more topical and legendary.

The popularity of "The Condor" caused a huge sensation in Hong Kong Island. It has been at least ten years since there was no TV series in Hong Kong Island with a ratings of over 70%. After all, it was not ten or twenty years ago.

Because of this, many film and television superstars attended today’s concert.

Qiao Beiyan, Zhong Qu, and even the Macau gambling king came in person, and the president of the Zhonghua Branch came personally.

Hong Kong media later reported that it was this concert that started Zhang Qing, a mainland teenager, on his path to becoming a tycoon!

After Hua Die and many guests sang, the audience was filled with singing fans (s) and fans (p) shouting Zhou Yanyan's name.

This name of a rural girl that even sounds a bit tacky, filled the night sky of Xiangjiang.

When Zhou Yanyan wore the ethnic costumes of Western Xinjiang and performed a solo dance that triggered a tsunami of cheers and countless "encores" that could not be silenced, she came on stage again, but it was Hehua Butterfly, Hu Quan and the four kings of Hong Kong Island, the three biggest singers in the 1980s.

Superstars, including Sun Kuohai, Li Qifa and other film and television superstars.

The fans at the scene were so happy that they almost fainted. When the screams broke through the sky, a sweet and clear singing voice came:

Zhou Yanyan: "Gently wake up your sleeping mind and slowly open your eyes."

Yan Ruomei: "Look at this busy world, are you still spinning around lonely?"

Flower Butterfly: "The spring breeze is incomprehensible to the style and blows the hearts of young people."

Gao Zehuan: "Let the tears on yesterday's face dry with memory."



Another beautiful new song, sung by celebrities from all walks of life and broadcast live on TVB, the entire Hong Kong Island was captivated by it today.

In the VIP room, Zhang Qing was sitting with several big shots. After hearing this song, Zhao Bei, the president of the Hong Kong Branch of China News Service, even happily patted Zhang Qing's arm and said three times: "Okay, okay

,OK!"

Macau gambling king He Quan smiled and praised: "There are so many geniuses in China! Qingzi, come and meet me, this is my daughter He Meiqiong."

Zhang Qing and the beautiful young woman who looked to be in her twenties nodded slightly. The woman probably thought he was a young man and smiled and said: "Qingzi, just call me Sister Pansy. I really like your songs."

Zhang Qing thanked her with a smile and took the business card she handed over.

Li Fangjie said with a smile: "Young people should keep in touch with each other!"

He Meiqiong heard the voice and it was so funny that she said angrily: "Aunt Fang, Qingzi is younger than my little brother!"

Li Fangjie covered her mouth and smiled and said: "What age are you at? You are less than ten years older. My sixth brother is thirty years older than me!"

In fact, at this time, the marriage between He Meiqiong and the son of the Hong Kong shipping king was still there, but it was only in name only.

Qiao Beiyan ignored these irrelevant topics and said regretfully: "Qingzi, I will go back to the mainland tomorrow. I don't know when I will come back."

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "June, before July 1st."

Others only said that he wanted to see the return, but Qiao Beiyan had some guesses and narrowed his eyes...

After chatting with several tycoons for a few more words, Zhao Qiang came in and whispered: "The second young master of the Yu family wants to talk to you again. He said he is very sincere and can talk about everything..."

Zhang Qing shook his head and said, "Tell him it's not necessary."

He Meiqiong may have heard of something and said with a smile: "Yu Tiancheng is Yu Shixun's most troubled and beloved son. He may be the successor of Hutchison Whampoa."

Zhang Qing chuckled and said: "Is the successor of Hutchison Whampoa great? Sister Pansy, let's get to know each other again. I am the successor of socialism. No one will be surprised."

All the big guys in the VIP room laughed loudly.
