Hong Kong Island Old Events

Chapter 93 Becoming Bigger and Stronger

He Dingxian thought about many answers in his mind, including the worst answer, but he never expected that Ah Hao would rush to the street and bring him a durian!

Attack your mother!

You understand me so well!

He Dingxian stood up with a smile, took off the ax from Huang Jun's waist, took the durian to the table, and struck the ax at the gap.

"Bang!" The durian was split in half, and he immediately opened it with the tip of an axe, divided the durian into pieces, and waved happily: "Why are you standing there, let's eat together."

"Brother Xian, what the hell is going on?" Lardboy pinched his nose and looked confused.

Ax Jun introduced from the side: "It's called durian. Ahao and his Singaporean boss are selling it. Although the taste is a bit strong, it tastes pretty good. I've eaten several in Thailand."

He Dingxian nodded: "This is a specialty of Thailand. The earliest place of origin seems to be Malaysia and Myanmar. It is cultivated on a large scale in Thailand. It is very good."

When Lardboy saw the big boss enjoying his meal, he looked happy and frowned: "You eat shit."

"Hahaha." Ax laughed loudly.

Durian has just become a new type of fruit in Southeast Asia these days. It is a new generation of competitive products after bananas and pineapples. It has also been widely promoted by fruit merchants in Europe and the United States, and has gradually become popular. It is easy to transport, has good taste, and is highly nutritious, so it is very popular in the market. .

This is different from selling bananas to the market at a low price. Durian ripens only once a year and is difficult to pick. It is destined to be a high-priced fruit once it is on the market!

Fruit stall owners in Singapore, in order to make profits and follow the market trend, must do a big durian business.

He Dingxian thought it was funny that Ah Hao went to sell durians, but when he thought about it carefully, it made sense: "If you have money, why don't you make a bastard!"

"If you can make money from the fruit bar, who will make white flour?"

"Ahao did not disappoint me."

After eating this durian, he has decided to make use of Wu Shihao.

Wu Shihao didn't have the capital to take advantage of the durian boom, but he did. He could use the money to let Wu Shihao set up a fruit farm and start a fruit trading business.

You know, Southeast Asia is a unique treasure land. It produces the best tropical fruits in the world and the cheapest artificial fruits in the world!

Currently, durians are not grown in China or in Hawaii. Even if they are grown in the future, they will only be Thai products. Now they are in the European and American markets, and in the future they will be in the world market!

Seeing that the boss enjoyed eating it, Lard Boy got used to the smell. He picked up a piece of fruit pulp and took a few bites. His expression turned out to be a bit shocked: "It tastes like batter!"

He Dingxian was surprised by the description of batter. Most people would say ice cream, but where do they think they are qualified to eat ice cream?

I couldn't even imagine the taste of ice cream, and I couldn't help feeling a little emotional. After eating, I said, "Ajun, next time you go to Thailand, help find Ahao."

"Ask him to take some time to go back to Hong Kong Island and bring back a batch of fruits. I think this business can continue on Hong Kong Island, and maybe it will be profitable."

Ordinary people can't afford durian, but ghost guys can still eat it.

Ax Jun nodded simply after hearing this: "I understand, boss."

"Do you have anything to do tonight? Let's stay for dinner together?" He Dingxian asked out loud, also wanting to establish a good relationship with Ax Jun. He also had a future working under Miss Chu. Ax Jun hesitated for a while and then said: "Sorry, boss, I haven’t been home for a month..."

"It's important to go back home and spend time with your family." He Dingxian showed understanding and smiled happily. Ax Jun nodded gratefully: "Okay, I will meet the new brothers selected by the company by the way."

"You are already the head of the brothers of the company. I can rest assured that you will take charge of the situation in advance."

People like Ax Jun just seize the opportunity and rely entirely on their own business. And because they don't have a title or identity, they don't need anyone to hold the position, and they can secure their position as the leader of the brothers by themselves.

He Dingxian and Chu Yunnan were both bosses who worked for him and supported him. All he had to do was work hard.

After Ax Jun left, Lardboy said with warning: "I can't imagine that Ah Hao would be willing to sell fruit when he ran away to Singapore after doing earth-shattering things in Hong Kong Island."

"Is it earth-shattering?" He Dingxian first asked: "If it is earth-shattering, everyone will bow to him. How could he end up running away?"

"When a person leaves his hometown, he is like a child who has lost his mother. He will be bullied everywhere. To be honest, I didn't expect that my fellow Singaporeans would actually take him in. Maybe they are short of manpower. He can get a fruit stall and fetch water. It’s already good, what else can I do?”

"Although Ah Hao is not from Hong Kong, brother, his reputation is all in Hong Kong Island...otherwise he wouldn't think of coming back. Now let him come back secretly for a visit, and then go to Thailand to be responsible for importing fruits. As long as he doesn't show his face, we will It can be covered up." The limelight of Liu Fu's death has indeed passed.

However, Lardboy's tone was still cautious: "Brother Xian, I think people like Ah Hao are unwilling to be lonely and lead a group of brothers to Nanyang. Will they bend down and work for others?"

"He has held a gun before! Be careful!"

He Dingxian narrowed his eyes when he heard this and said loudly: "In short, Ahao is my brother. If he says he sells fruit, I have to believe him. If he says he wants to come back, I have to help, but our company cannot have a brand name. You can't take advantage of others, you are the general manager! You have to be responsible!"

Lardboy looked solemn: "I'm responsible!"

"By the way, how was your discussion with the two editors at the newspaper?" He Dingxian suddenly asked about another matter. Lardboy smiled bitterly and said: "It's not easy to talk about. The one named 'Liang Huiru' has some intentions. But the person named 'Yao Fulan' is very cool and doesn't pick on us at all."

"Liang Huiru" was Liang Yusheng's pen name when he was the editor of "New Evening News", and "Yao Fulan" was the pen name of Cha Niangyong when he was the editor-in-chief of "New Evening News".

This year, Liang Yusheng is editing the supplement "Arabian Nights" of "The News", and at the same time, Cha Niangyong is in charge of the "Afternoon Tea" supplement of "The News".

"Xinwen Bao" is affiliated to "Ta Kung Pao". It is a new supplementary newspaper created just last year. It specially appointed a group of young and talented writers as editors.

Among them, two of the "Four Great Masters of Martial Arts", "Jin" and "Liang", are working together in the same office and using the same desk.

One of "Wen" and "Gu" is still in school, the other is not yet born, and they are both people who have lived abroad for a long time. The most famous and oldest ones on Hong Kong Island are "Jin" and "Liang".

He Dingxian relied on "The Book of Dogs" to build the newspaper, and sales are steadily increasing step by step. It can be said that the foundation of "Oriental Daily" has been laid firmly.

But how to make Oriental Daily bigger and stronger? These four words will become the largest-selling newspaper in Hong Kong!

Let us also say that under the leadership of the Ma brothers, "Oriental Daily" once held the position of No. 1 in Baotang for 31 years, beating "Sing Tao Daily", "Ta Kung Pao" and "South China Morning Post" all to the ground.

The single-day sales reached a peak of more than 530,000 copies, and the readership exceeded 3.4 million, which is why it is far ahead of other newspapers.

The essence lies in the word "Daily".

There is no way that He Dingxian has a worse vision than the Ma brothers. He understood early that the "Daily News" wanted to make money. The biggest difference from the "Business Daily" and "Zihua Daily" was that it needed "more material". In short, the guests When you open the newspaper in the morning, you have to see the latest news. "One day's news" is the essence of the "Daily News".

In Hong Kong Island's current "daily" publications, the latest news is limited to Hong Kong, most involving Macau, and some British news.

There is a huge gap in the market!

Historically, "Oriental Daily" relied on "quickness, accuracy and ruthlessness" to go out, claiming to take over the world's affairs without leaving home. It was known as the "dragon gate array". There are horse scriptures and supplementary novels, as well as "positive opinions" that criticize current ills, "Kung Fu Tea" said by famous speakers, as well as news from the mainland, Hong Kong and Macao, cross-strait, Britain, the United States, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.

From the earliest one folio to one and a half pages, and then to the addition of supplements at the end, the report can be described as comprehensive and informative.

The biggest weapons are the special correspondents stationed in major cities around the world, including the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Australia, the offices in Beijing and Shanghai set up on the mainland, and the interview stations around the world.

But at that time, the Ma brothers relied on the money they earned from selling flour and had enough money to pay reporters. They were able to grow bigger and bigger and invest heavily.

The social environment is another ten years later. Many news stations in the mainland, at home and abroad are open. Following the general trend and reporting international news a few times, newspapers can naturally ride on the trend and be accepted by the general public. The more types of reports, the faster the audience will be. Naturally, the bigger the group is, the more readers will love to read it. This is why the Flour Newspaper can stand up despite being scolded.

The "Dragon Gate Formation" is one of the most effective and simple methods, just like the Internet street writers of later generations who update tens of thousands of words a day.

In a sense, it also has the effect of the "portal website" of later generations. Even if it is to kill time, readers like to read newspapers with more words and more categories.

He Dingxian understands the truth, but it is of no use, because in terms of the current international situation, it is difficult to obtain press cards in different countries. Some are not available at all, and some require a lot of money. The social situation is "dreary" than it will be ten years ago. "a lot of.

Secondly, when reporters are sent to some places to conduct interviews, they need to have a stance. If the stance is not good, there will be no need to talk if they can’t get on the line.

Finally, it costs money to send so many reporters and set up so many interview stations!

He Dingxian didn't have that much money at all, nor did he have enough status to stand up, let alone get a press card from a major country, so the circle came back again. The newspaper must make money first, make big money, and everything will be easier in the future.

Once the sales of "Oriental Daily" can reach more than "3,000 copies", in the current era, it will be considered a mouthpiece.

At that time, no matter whether it is for the Chaoshan Gang, for the police force itself, or for justice or current affairs, everyone will be qualified to speak out.

More people will come to him and ask for his help. "Oriental Daily" will become a more important thing in his hands than movie stores and paper mills.

No one can resist occupying the position of public opinion... Then he can open the door to receive customers...

The question is, how to increase sales to more than 3,000 copies? He Dingxian decided to ask the ready-made "four famous people" to take action for him, because finding wage earners was undoubtedly the most labor-saving and cost-effective way. In fact, "martial arts novels" in Hong Kong Island have a long history, and there were many in the previous dynasty. Literati made a living by writing novels. In the 1930s, the martial arts novels in the "Once Upon a Time" series were sold well in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

What really made martial arts popular in Southeast Asia was a competition between "Wu Gongyi" and "Chen Kefu" in Haojiang in the 1950s.

In the final analysis, articles should be combined with current events. If current events are hot, then relevant articles will be hot. "Martial arts novels" also started by riding on other people's popularity. What happened to He Dingxian's "martial arts novels"? Everyone is out to sell, no one is better than anyone else!

Who are Wu Gongyi and Chen Kefu?
