However, over the past six months, Mingbao companies' reactions to the price reduction craze of Xiangjiang newspapers have been a bit strange, except for "Tiantian Daily"

Except for the symbolic gifts at the beginning, there were almost no discounts, and it was quite steadily sitting on the Diaoyutai.

If you count it carefully, under such circumstances, the sales drop has not exceeded the losses of your peers, which is already a success.

Faced with this situation, other newspapers also understand it very well.

Holding Star TV and backing Lin's Pictures, Mingpao Enterprise has long become a comprehensive media group, and has widened the gap in position with other newspaper companies in Xiangjiang.

Price cuts can at most erode the market share of Mingbao's enterprises' paper media, but they cannot shake their foundation at all.

Last year, Star TV's advertising profit reached HK$1.245 billion, while last year, all listed companies in Xiangjiang Press had a total profit of only HK$1.75 billion, excluding Mingpao companies.

With the giant-like Starry Sky TV, Mingpao Enterprise has become an invincible place in the Xiangjiang media industry.

Mingpao Enterprise cooperates with Star TV and is called an aircraft carrier in the media industry of Xiangjiang.

The report from Apple Daily is already full of sensation, and the content is guided everywhere and implied, and it is directed down three ways.

Once released, it immediately became a hot topic among many people in Xiangjiang.

In the early years, gossip newspapers such as "New Night News" reported the news about Lin Chaoyang and Maggie Cheung. Now this news has been scrapped up again in the newspaper, and many people believe it.

One is recognized as the richest woman in Xiangjiang, and the other is a beautiful and charming female star. Among the luxury houses on Deepwater Bay Road, the most important thing is that they can live in peace. Many people can't help but envy Lin Sheng's blessings.

Apple Daily is a fledgling company, and has angered a group of peers with its radical marketing strategies and bottomless reporting methods. Now that it is coming to teach Tao Yushu's tiger beard, it is naturally relying on it.

Li Jiying was from Guangdong. In the 1960s, she smuggled into Xiangjiang and worked in 14K as a 49-15 boy, responsible for transporting Baibai. Because she never made any mistakes in her work and was good at flattering, Li Jiying was soon valued by her elder brother and promoted to "demolition of the house".

"Demolition of the house" is a distributor. It can not only make a difference, but also no longer have the risk of being arrested and severely sentenced. This has also become the starting point of Li Jiying's career.

Later, he got the right to sell "Two Lions Step on Earth" and earned his first pot of gold, and was nicknamed "Da Ma Li".

Fatty Li, the du peddler in "Young and Dangerous", is an allusion to him.

In the 1980s, the Hong Kong government increased its crackdown on crimes, and Li Jiying began to wash away the whitewash and went ashore. He set up a copycat garment factory in Sham Shui Po District and started a clothing business.

Then he founded the Giordano brand, taking advantage of the booming mainland economy and successful transformation, and earned a huge fortune.

The success of the clothing company allowed Li Jiying to make money, but this was far from enough for him. With profit, he also wanted to be famous and become a real upper class person.

Li Jiying thinks that transformation to media is a good business, which can make money and get a name.

So he decided to sell all the shares of Giordano in his hands, and then make every effort to enter the newspaper industry and transform again, hoping to become a media tycoon.

He is very rich and has a very bad background. He has a group of mahjong-sex brothers. This is why Li Jiying is rampant in the newspaper industry in Xiangjiang. Otherwise, he would not be able to deal with the difficulties of the Ma family of the Oriental News Agency, which also has a background.

The news reports of Apple Daily have attracted heated discussion among citizens, and gossip in the streets and alleys are endless.

Gossip news about the wealthy class in Xiangjiang has always been the focus of public attention. Tao Yushu has mostly been in the economic pages in the past, but now it appears in the gossip pages, which is indeed a bit undecent.

Seeing such news, Tao Yushu was angry, but it did not happen.

In the past six months, Apple Daily is in the limelight. Although there are many enemies, Li Jiying's strength can still be rampant for a while, which shows how strong his strength is.

Treating scumbags like Li Jiying, ordinary methods are useless. You have to hit a snake seven inches.

Tao Yushu asked people to spend some time investigating Li Jiying and found that in the past six months since the rise of Apple Daily, Li Jiying attracted a group of 14K younger brothers to be responsible for the distribution of newspapers, forcing them to sell newspapers and magazines in the "protected area" to sell Apple Daily.

Obviously, Li Jiying did not give up on the H-squamous resources and illegal and criminal behavior because of whitewashing. With the personality of a person like Li Jiying, such a choice is also reasonable.

It’s good that you didn’t give up, it’s just right for Tao Yushu to have a wish.

Li Jiyingruo has really completely cleaned up, but she is still not able to settle the score.

As the twelfth lunar month came to an end, Lin Chaoyang and his family returned to Beijing to celebrate the New Year, and Xiaoliubukou East Courtyard became lively for a long time.

"Ohhh! Ohhh! Look!"

Tao Yucheng turned the "Yanjing Youth Daily" in his hand, grinning, "Why is this a mess? The good things used to be so close, they broke up when they say they break up, and they get married when they say they get married."

He was talking about Gong Li's announcement of her formal marriage with Singaporean businessman Huang Hexiang. Yesterday, Gong Li announced the news that her marriage today appeared in major domestic newspapers.

Zhao Li asked curiously: "Aren't she with Zhang Yimou?"

"The two of them had a fuss when filming "Shake and Shake". The Shandong girl was better off, just split and get married when she said she was married." Tao Yushu said in emotion.

Zhao Li glanced at him sideways, "I feel quite regretful when I hear what you mean?"

Tao Yuzhen became alert, "What do I have to regret? It has nothing to do with me."

After saying this, he immediately turned to Lin Chaoyang and said, "Chaoyang, "The Opium War" will start filming after the Chinese New Year. Don't you show your face when it starts?"

The topic was a bit stiff, but Lin Chaoyang continued, "Let's see if there is time."

Tao Yucheng is one of the members of the planning team of "Opium War" and is mainly responsible for casting, which is also his area of ​​expertise. The members of the planning team also include director Ann Hui and artist Lee Xian.

"Opium War" invested 100 million yuan, not only breaking the investment record of mainland movies, but also greatly increasing the upper limit.

Looking at the scope of Chinese movies, only the "Flying Eagle Plan" that Cheng Long had seriously overspent at his peak can be compared with it.

As long as you are an actor, there is nothing you don’t want to star in, not to mention that the directors are Xie Jin and Zhang Yimou, who are simply the kings of Chinese movies.

In the past few months, Tao Yucheng has been a hot casting team, and has been overwhelmed with invitations to dinners. Many people have visited them specifically, asking people to say good things and give gifts, and doing everything they can. Just to be able to play a role in the movie, Tao Yucheng is so worried.

The two were chatting about the movie. The phone ringing at home rang. Dongdong hurriedly ran over to answer the phone, said a few words and put down the phone, ran over to Lin Chaoyang and said, "Dad, look for you."

Lin Chaoyang got up to answer the phone. It turned out that the call was Hong Zicheng of Yanda.

He was very good with Hong Zicheng when he was in school. He would meet and chat every time he went back to school, but he rarely contacted him.

It belongs to the mode of getting along with gentlemen in a quiet way.

Therefore, when Hong Zicheng called during the Chinese New Year, Lin Chaoyang was naturally curious about the reason.

"It's not convenient on the phone. If I have time, I'll go to your house to have a detailed chat."

Hong Zicheng did not tell the reason on the phone, but also wanted to visit him, which made Lin Chaoyang even more curious.

After hanging up the phone, Tao Yucheng said, "I guess Yan Da is anxious."

"What's the hurry?"

When Tao Yumo was in contact with his family, he talked about the news that Lin Chaoyang Literary Research Association was going to be established in the United States. Tao Yucheng usually helped Lin Chaoyang promote it when he was talking to people at Yanda.

"It should be spread now. Japan and the United States have established your literary research association. Do you think they can't be in a hurry?" Tao Yucheng said with a smile.

The next day, the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Hong Zicheng came to Xiaoliubukou Hutong and brought Sun Yushi with him.

Sun Yushi is also a professor in the Chinese Department. He became the head of the Chinese Department a few years ago. He just retired last year and still makes use of his remaining energy in the school.

As Tao Yucheng said, Hong Zicheng and Sun Yushi sat down and chatted for a few words, and then turned the topic to the literary research association and asked Lin Chaoyang to verify the authenticity of the news that Yale University was about to establish the Lin Chaoyang (American) Literary Research Association.

The Lin Chaoyang (Japanese) Literary Research Association was established ten years ago. Many people from Yan University were a little surprised when they learned about this news.

Lin Chaoyang, a Chinese writer, could actually make Japanese scholars have such great research interest.

After the initial surprise, this incident did not cause much trouble. Everyone just thought that Lin Chaoyang's works were very in line with the appetites of Japanese readers and scholars.

No one expected that many years later, everyone would hear news about the Lin Chaoyang Literary Research Association again.

And this time in the United States, the leading university in the United States is Yale University.

After the news spread, it immediately became a hot news in the Chinese Department of Yan University.

In the past, when the Lin Chaoyang Literary Research Association of Japan was established, everyone can attribute this situation to the Japanese's preference for Lin Chaoyang, but now even famous American schools have participated, which has to make everyone think deeply.

Some of the Chinese people have some bad problems. The most typical example is that they respect the past and suppress the present. Everything left by their predecessors is good. Contemporary things are often difficult to get publicly charged evaluations.

This problem is the same in literature. As a contemporary writer, Lin Chaoyang is no matter how popular he is, he cannot be compared with his predecessors, let alone treat him and his works as research objects.

But now not only Japan, but also famous American schools regard Lin Chaoyang as an object of study.

This encounters another bad habit of Chinese people. Foreign monks can recite scriptures.

Since foreigners, especially Americans, think it is good, there must be some advantages that we have not discovered, and we must study them carefully.

This wave is negative and negative!

"It's true that this is the case. The person who took the lead still studied in our school back then. Do you have any impression of Fei Nengwen?" Lin Chaoyang said.

Sun Yushi reacted quickly and said in surprise: "Is it the double doctor of Harvard and Yale?"

"That's right."

To put it bluntly, there are basically only three reasons for studying in China in the 1970s and 1980s. Either they really love Chinese culture, for political purposes, or because of their poor conditions.

International students from prestigious schools like Fei Nengwen and have double doctoral degrees are extremely rare in the United States, not to mention that he has also come to China to study abroad. People from Yan University cannot have a deep impression of him.

Sun Yushi and Hong Zicheng didn't expect that Fei Nengwen would have something to do. They thought about it and felt happy. Fei Nengwen had also studied at Yan University.

Not to mention Lin Chaoyang, not only is he an employee of Yan University, but his father-in-law's family is also from Yan University.

If this matter is said, it can be considered a good story.

However, the two of them had no time to be happy. They asked about the details of the founding of the Literary Research Association of Japan and the United States, and Lin Chaoyang explained what he knew.

After chatting, Sun Yushi pondered silently, and Hong Zicheng said:

"Chaoyang, you are our own people, so I won't hide it from you. The establishment of the Lin Chaoyang Literary Research Association in the United States has greatly stimulated our Chinese department.

Now, both the United States have established your literary research association, which fully demonstrates the literary and academic value of your works.
