Chapter 540 Lin Tao Yushu(2/3)

Or acquisition is not a good choice, and Hu Xian has not reached the end of his life and will not easily sell the basic market."

Her analysis makes sense, but it's a waste of time to say it. Lin Chaoyang never aims to understand her.

He asked again, "What are you interested in?"

Tao Yushu laughed, "I like it's useless, I'll be willing to sell it."

Then she said, "Mingpao companies now lack an English newspaper, and Hu Xian's "Tiger News" is a good choice."

"Tiger News" is one of the three newspapers that Hu Xian inherited from his father, and is in Xiangjiang in addition to "South China Morning Post"

The most influential English newspaper outside.

In terms of emotion and reason, Tao Yushu's idea is indeed a bit unrealistic.

"If you want to buy the Tiger News, it is better to buy the South China Morning Post." Lin Chaoyang said.

Tao Yushu thought he was joking. The South China Morning Post was acquired by Murdoch's News Corporation in 1987 and was also successfully listed on the Hong Kong stock market this year, with a market value of more than HK$3 billion.

Mingpao companies are incomparable to Murdoch's News Group, so Tao Yushu doesn't think she can acquire the South China Morning Post, which has the support of News Group.

"Who can tell this kind of thing accurately? Three years ago, can you think that Hu Xian is in debt now?" Lin Chaoyang said.

"That's right, it's great if there's a good opportunity to acquire it."

The sales volume of the South China Morning Post is around 100,000 copies. In terms of sales alone, Xiangjiang cannot be considered a big newspaper.

But it has an advantage that other major newspapers in Hong Kong are incomparable to. As a pure English newspaper published in Hong Kong, the South China Morning Post has a long history and is positioned very high-end. It is the most influential English newspaper in the entire Asia.

Although the circulation is not large, it is the best in the Xiangjiang Press.

The profit of the South China Morning Post exceeded HK$200 million last year, while the profit of Oriental Newspaper, which claimed to be circulating over one million copies, only exceeded HK$200 million.

"If we can really acquire the South China Morning Post, our news portal plan will definitely be implemented more smoothly." Tao Yushu imagined it.

"You can't get fat in one bite.

It doesn’t matter if there is no English newspaper now. The biggest advantage of the Internet is that although it is dependent on reality, it can be separated from reality to a certain extent.

Let's do it step by step."

Tao Yushu nodded, "You are right, let's do the summary first."

The Internet was born in the United States in 1969.

But at that time, I was still using ARPANET network, which was equivalent to a large area network, requiring continuous expansion of nodes.

It was not until 1981 that the Arpanet network connected 213 hosts.

During this period, some other networks appeared in the world, such as CSNET and NSFNET funded by the National Science Foundation.

These networks use TCP/IP protocol to communicate and gradually form a global Internet.

But the scale is still extremely limited.

Until 1989, last year, British scientist Tim Berners Lee invented the World Wide Web,

This simple and powerful concept has brought explosive growth and widespread popularity to the Internet.

Just this year, the Chinese University of Xiangjiang is already planning to establish the first Internet connection in Xiangjiang and also migrate the .hk domain name server from the United States to Xiangjiang.

According to exchanges between Lin Chaoyang and Kao, this plan will be completed in January 1991.

Under Lin Chaoyang's "popular science", Tao Yushu is full of interest in the brand new Internet.

Lin Chaoyang did not dare to popularize Tao Yushu too much. He just told her the concept of "news portal", which made Tao Yushu fascinated.

Tao Yushu is intoxicated by Lin Chaoyang's "imagination" and has no lack of motivation to execute.

In this family, Lin Chaoyang has always been responsible for talking and she is responsible for doing things.

She discussed with Lin Chaoyang and felt that she could try to intervene in Internet news in the form of news summary first.

Anyway, Xiangjiang has not even connected to the Internet now. Even if it is connected, there will definitely be pitiful few users in the past few years.

This kind of operation is definitely a loss of money, just treat it as a pre-standard position. If the Internet industry can really develop in the future, then the benefits will definitely be indispensable.

The specific implementation method is to establish a separate online news department by Mingpao Enterprise and establish an online news publication, which is temporarily Chinese and English bilingual.

Aggregate important news across Asia in the frequency of weekly issues and then send it to subscribers around the world in email.

Tao Yushu has named this online news publication "Asian News Summary".

Just listening to the name is full of style.

Tao Yushu has also thought about it. If he really wants to build a news portal in the future, it will be called Asia News Network.

To accomplish big things, you must have a pattern.

This name has a very pattern.

A few days later, Christmas is coming, and Lin Chaoyang plans to take Tao Yushu out to spend the two-person world, and has been waiting for Tao Yumo to come back from get off work to take care of the children.

As a result, after waiting for a long time, he didn't see Tao Yumo coming back, so he had to call Sugar Games.

"What are you busy with? Why haven't you got off work yet?"

"Just busy with work!" said Tao Yumo.

Hey, Lin Chaoyang felt that the sun was coming out from the west today.

Usually I go out late and come back early, but when I get to the company, I just play games and have morning tea. Is there a job?

"You come back first."

"What are you going back?"

"Take a child!"

Tao Yumo asked angrily: "Today Christmas, do you ask me to take care of the children? What are you and your wife doing?"

"You'll take care of us. If you take them out for fun, I'll reimburse the expenses and overtime pay."

In normal times, if Lin Chaoyang wants to give "overtime pay", Tao Yumo will do it, but today she does not act very abnormally.

"Did I send you the little overtime pay?" After saying this, she hung up the phone.

Lin Chaoyang was holding the phone and couldn't touch his head. What's going on?

My sister-in-law didn't come back, so Lin Chaoyang brought the two children with him. After meeting Tao Yushu, he told Tao Yushu about his sister-in-law's abnormal behavior today.

"You really don't care about her!"

Tao Yushu gave him a picture of "Xinbao", and Tao Yumo's interview was posted on it, and there was also a photo of it.

"Yu Mo is quite handsome, but this smile is a bit too stupid."

Lin Chaoyang commented and asked again: "She was interviewed and signed up for the newspaper. Why did she add to the class?"

"I guess I was inspired," said Tao Yushu.

It’s not that right? My sister-in-law usually acts so salty, and she strives to improve in just one interview?

Listening to his suspicion, Tao Yushu spread his hands, "Who knows?"

It is indeed not very common sense that the two elder sisters are one of the king of scrolls and the other is the king of scrolls. Could it be that an interview activated the hidden king of scrolls in my sister-in-law?

Lin Chaoyang felt that his thoughts made sense, but it remains to be seen. What if it was three minutes of popularity?

In a blink of an eye, New Year's Day has passed.

"The World" produced by Lin's Film has been rampant in the Xiangjiang film market for half a month, but it looks like it is not at all tired.

The cumulative box office has reached HK$26.5 million, and breaking the 30 million mark is a foregone conclusion. The only suspense is whether there is a chance to exceed 40 million.

Now, the box office is still harvested with nearly one million yuan a day, squeezing the living space of many films released during the Double Anniversary period.

The reason for this situation is, on the one hand, because of the strong appeal of "Zonghe Four Seas" and the excellent quality of the film, and on the other hand, it is also because of the old rival Jiahe and Xinyi City.

There is no need to mention Xinyi City. The entire company is completely disorganized and no longer as brave as it used to be.

Jiahe now only has Cheng Long as the pillar, and Cheng Long's new film "Flying Eagle Plan" is still in intense post-production.

As 1991 approaches, Lin's Film Group dominated the film industry with a movie "On the World" and also announced to the market its current strong position in the Xiangjiang film industry.

Recently, the news that Lin's Pictures will be on the market is rumored, and many entertainment weekly magazines have reported various rumors about Lin's Pictures' coming soon.

Some say that Lin's Pictures will go public in March, some say that Lin's Pictures will take out tens of millions of shares for its directors, screenwriters, and actors to subscribe. Some say that Lin's Pictures will make several big cast movies after it goes public.

With the blessing of the popular sales of "Zonghesisi", the spread of various gossips has become more and more fierce, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

At this moment, Xiangjiang Political and Economic Weekly suddenly released the 1990 Xiangjiang Billionaire Ranking.

Since the 1980s, Xiangjiang's financial newspapers and magazines have liked to make such rich rankings. The purpose is nothing more than to attract attention, attract readers' attention, and thus promote publication sales.

Previously, media such as Ming Pao and Xinbao have mostly used family consortiums as units.

Moreover, the targets calculated are the market value of the company controlled by the family consortium, and the wealth will not be quantified to individuals.

People in Xiangjiang read these information in newspapers only to calculate the wealth of the rich.

The Chinese people pay attention to wealth and do not reveal their wealth in full, which is definitely an offensive thing.

Some larger media won't do this easily.
