Chapter 382 'Ming Pao' Privatization

Early the next morning, Sun Kuohai's wife Li Meijiao brought Sun Xiaoming to meet Zhang Qing's parents.

He asked Sun Xiaoming to call his grandparents, which almost frightened Zhang Guozhong and his wife.

The age calculation is wrong...

Fortunately, Qi Juan explained in time and learned that it was Sun Kuohai's wife and children, and she immediately became enthusiastic.

As for the godfather, godfather, etc., they all think it is nonsense and not worth mentioning...

But Sun Xiaoming pestered Zhang Qing: "Godfather, hello Baguan! My dad said that "Home Alone" has been a hit in the United States, and the global box office has exceeded 200 million U.S. dollars. None of his best movies have such high sales

box office!”

Qi Juan smiled at Zhang Qing and said, "We also went to see it. It was pretty good and quite fun. Shanshan liked it and laughed so much that she couldn't breathe."

Liu Shanshan seriously suggested: "Zhang Qing, you might as well go to the United States with us. I read an analysis in the newspaper and found that the North American box office of "Home Alone" was at least 250 million, and the global box office may be upwards of 400 million.

It can exceed 500 million! Add in the messy copyright income, and you can earn 200 million US dollars from a movie! The two albums combined seem to be more. In the movie and the album, you didn't show up, and you earned more than you did in China.

It takes two or three years of hard work. "Once Upon a Time" is so popular, you can make less than a fraction of what you make in the United States."

"Money, money, money, how come you are thinking about money at such a young age? If Zhang Qing only wanted to make money, he wouldn't do these things."

Li Suzhi criticized with a very serious expression.

Liu Shanshan pouted and said, "That way Zhang Qing can come to the United States to accompany Juanzi."

Li Suzhi's tone softened and said: "You are still so young, why are you so anxious? Look at Zhang Qing, how many things he has done with his head down, do you think it is just because of his genius? You can't imagine how much effort he has put in behind the scenes? He still spends all day long

Haha. When Zhang Qing becomes a great entrepreneur in the future, and Juanzi takes over Tianhong, what will you do? You are still laughing and joking around. Take advantage of the rare opportunity now, seize the opportunity to improve yourself, participate in it, and make achievements. It is a leap.

.”

Qi Ping was gentler and said with a smile: "Shanshan, if I didn't regard you as my biological daughter, my aunt wouldn't be so straightforward with you."

Ordinary students, even international students, would never be able to participate in high-level affairs of a multinational group at this age. This is indeed an opportunity for a life leap.

Qi Juan hugged the dejected Liu Shanshan and counterattacked: "You have worked very hard, okay? Not everyone wants to be successful. If you live a normal life, you will be very happy."

Liu Shanshan was dissatisfied: "Juanzi, I want to become famous..."

Sun Yuehe couldn't hold it back and laughed. Then she felt embarrassed and turned around to teach Zhang Lan, who was snickering: "Why are you laughing? What your aunt said makes sense. Go back and read quickly. If you don't learn well, go home."

Feed the pigs!”

Sun Xiaoming burst out laughing, then quickly covered his mouth, holding back his face and ears.

After watching it for a long time, Li Meijiao said with emotion: "Compared with you, my education of Jesse is too unwise."

Li Suzhi smiled and said: "Your family has a Western-style education. It's hard to say which one is better."

Zhang Qing winked at Qi Juan and said, "Mom, auntie, why don't you go shopping in Central today? Sister-in-law, if you have time, come with us?"

Li Meijiao said happily: "Of course I'm free! Your eldest brother called me back from the United States and told me to do my best as a landlord, otherwise I won't be spared!"

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Just in time, Aunt Six will be here soon. But 'the ugly words come first', sister-in-law, you can't pay the bill!"

Li Meijiao was unhappy and said: "What are you talking about? It's not easy to come to Hong Kong Island... Forget it, I don't want you to tell me, we women go shopping, you should stop taking care of it! Besides, if you can take care of me, you can also take care of Aunt Fang?"

"

Li Suzhi smiled warmly and said: "Zhang Qing, go and do your work. We are not old enough for you to take care of us."

Qi Juan suggested: "Let Shanshan follow, she will hold my card."

Liu Shanshan: "..."

Qi Ping was surprised: "What are you doing?"

Qi Juan chuckled and said: "Zhang Qing has to talk to people today. There are some American matters that I have to come forward, otherwise it will be even more troublesome if I go to the United States."

Liu Shanshan: "..."

Zhang Qing then told Zhou Yanyan: "Take Xiao Lan to the TVB China Star Recording Studio to record "Ode to the Pear Blossom" and prepare it for broadcast. We only have three days."

Zhou Yanyan nodded in agreement.

"Godfather, and me!"

Sun Xiaoming said anxiously, he didn't want to go shopping with a group of old aunties carrying bags.

Zhang Qing said: "You and the two grandpas are going out to sea for fishing?" He then explained to everyone: "Uncle Six has a yacht parked at the pier in front, and Uncle Qi and my dad can go out to sea for fishing."

Sun Xiaoming laughed twice and said, "Aunt Yanyan, Sister Xiaolan, I, are you going to go to TVB?"

Zhang Qing didn't bother to correct the seniority issue and said: "It's up to you."

Li Meijiao knew her son better and warned: "Jesse, don't cause trouble. Don't cause trouble to your godfather."

Sun Xiaoming waved his hand and said: "Okay! No way!"

Zhang Qing said to Qijuan: "Then let's take the first step and accept an interview with Ming Pao."

Qi Juan winked at Li Suzhi and others and left happily.



Peninsula Hotel.

It is true that he was interviewed by "Ming Pao". Zhang Qing is now considered the number one celebrity in Hong Kong Island. Based on his status as a writer, musician, and filmmaker, he is definitely a predator-level presence in the Hong Kong Island entertainment circle.

In addition, he was born in the Mainland and has a series of legendary life experiences, making him very popular.

If you just come to a hotel and book a room, it's easy for the tabloids to do whatever you want.

It's different when there's serious business...

When he and Qi Juan arrived, they "just happened to" meet a reporter from "Ming Pao" at the door. It was actually the editor-in-chief Shen Bin who led the team.

Seeing that there was a camera, Zhang Qing waved his hand and said: "Uncle Bin, I won't report it."

Shen Bin insisted: "Qingzi, do you think your photo has not been published in the newspaper? How is it possible! Other newspapers have published your photo, but not our own newspaper?"

Zhang Qing had no choice but to agree, but Qi Juan would definitely not be allowed to be photographed, even though her photos had already been published in newspapers...

"Why aren't you in the lobby?"

After entering the hotel and going directly to the presidential suite on the top floor, Shen Bin asked strangely.

Zhang Qing shook his head and said: "Don't do it in public places and disturb others."

Shen Bin immediately looked at him with admiration, and the female writer following him also smiled and nodded.

After you get to the top floor, you can even directly overlook the Victoria Bay sea view from the large floor-to-ceiling windows.

After sitting down, Qi Juan took out water from the refrigerator to entertain the cameramen and others.

I made tea again and gave it to Zhang Qing and Shen Bin.

After Shen Bin thanked her politely, he praised: "What a talented man and beautiful woman."

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "Uncle Bin, I've praised you so much. Why did you come in person? Isn't it just an interview?"

Shen Bin sighed and said: "I came here in person because before the stock market crash, you told me that the financial crisis would come and asked me to sell you the shares of Ming Pao. I didn't believe it at first. The Hong Kong government's foreign exchange reserves

With nearly 90 billion U.S. dollars and trillions of funds flowing in the stock and foreign exchange markets every day, how could Johnson and the others be able to attack Hong Kong Island? But I didn't expect that he would actually leverage Hong Kong Island's finance.

The Hang Seng Index has dropped from a high of 16,000 points to 9,000 points now, which is a drop of nearly half. So today I want to ask you, is this financial crisis over?"

The female writer on the side has already started jotting down quickly with a pen.

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "Uncle Bin, you should know in your heart that Johnson's brief retreat was not really giving in and leaving, but going to eat blood elsewhere. Can't Hong Kong see the tragic situation in South Korea? They

Draw new ammunition from South Korea and prepare to turn around and capture Hong Kong Island."

Shen Bin hesitated and said: "The situation in South Korea and Hong Kong Island is not the same. Their foreign exchange is not much, but their foreign debt is as high as ten times the foreign exchange reserves. Looking back now, South Korea's death was not unjust. But Hong Kong Island

It’s different…”

Zhang Qing shook his head and said: "It's no different. To the Wall Street hedge fund forces represented by Johnson, it's just fat under the lip. After South Korea has finished eating, it's almost time to start again."

Seeing what Shen Bin wanted to say, Zhang Qing waved his hand and said: "Uncle Bin, we don't want to discuss this topic too much. For people who are lucky, no matter how much discussion is useless, they won't believe it."

Shen Bin's face was a bit ugly, and he looked very bad. It was obvious that most of his family's fortune was probably in the water, but at least he still retained his dignity as a scholar. After cutting his hair, he asked: "One last question, according to your speculation

, where will the Hang Seng Index probably reach?”

Zhang Qingdao: "It's hard to speculate on this, but judging from Johnson's ferocity, he probably won't be satisfied unless he smashes ten thousand points...Uncle Bin, how many did you put in?"

Shen Bin looked a little gray and shook his head: "How much can I bet on? It's just that the stock price is lower. When it rises, it will come back. It's just...sigh."

The female lead writer said for him: "They are the editor-in-chief's son and son-in-law. They used leverage to speculate in stocks and lost money so much that they had to sell their house."

Shen Bin smiled bitterly and said: "Qingzi, I'm selling my shares in Ming Pao, will you still take over?"

No matter how much I love "Ming Pao", I can't let my whole family go bankrupt.

Zhang Qingdao: "Of course. But Uncle Bin, if you need money, I can lend you a sum first."

Shen Bin shook his head and said: "No need, it's not a small amount. Qingzi, I still have 40 million shares of Ming Pao stock in my hand. The current market value is one yuan and two shares. You can just calculate it according to the market price..."

When Zhong Qu sold it, one share was priced at NT$2.60, and the 180 million shares were nearly HK$500 million.

Shen Bin is the editor-in-chief of Ming Pao and holds 10% of the shares, but the stock price has been cut in half.

Zhang Qingdao: "Uncle Bin, for the 40 million shares in your hand, I will give you 80 million...you don't have to refuse! I have a request. I just hope that Uncle Bin will continue to be the editor-in-chief of "Ming Pao" and continue to uphold justice and neutrality.

The concept of fair newspaper running. After acquiring your shares, Du Juan Culture will preside over the delisting and privatization. From now on, "Ming Pao" does not even need to account for shareholders, does not need to worry about absolute sales, only seeks fairness

Strict principles for running newspapers. I hope Uncle Bin can help me take on this important task. For others, I'm afraid they won't be able to withstand too much pressure."

Shen Bin was so moved that he held Zhang Qing's hand and said excitedly: "Qingzi, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Then today’s interview began: “Why do you write English songs and make American movies?”

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "It's very simple. I just want to tell our audience that they are no worse than Western audiences. You see, I am a Chinese musician and filmmaker, and I just write a few English songs and two English movies. It's the same."

It can make American audiences like it and chase it crazily.

Therefore, our audience no longer needs to belittle themselves and feel inferior after watching a domestic movie, or feel how amazing they are after watching an English movie and listening to a few English songs.

There is no distinction between high and low culture. Eastern and Western cultures each have their own charms.

So I hope that in the future they will no longer feel inferior because they have appreciated domestic works, let alone be proud of appreciating foreign works.

Let me tell you with facts, at the cultural level, everyone is the same!"

This was the first time that Shen Bin saw Zhang Qing's humble and conceited heart hidden under his humble surface...
