Reborn Tycoon Rise

Chapter 36 Database

The typhoon comes and goes quickly. After a few rains, the weather begins to clear up for a long time, and the temperature outside has also eased a lot due to the recent arrival of the typhoon, and is no longer so muggy.

It was around nine o'clock in the morning on the fourth day after I received the call from Mingpao.

Xu Zhi was sitting in a taxi heading to the Ming Pao headquarters in Chai Wan. The car passed through a cluster of high-rise buildings, passed through the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel, and soon passed by the Central Ring Road and arrived at the Ming Pao Building.

It had been several months since the last time I came to Ming Pao. I passed the security below and arrived at Ming Pao's floor.

Xu Zhi came to the front desk directly: "I made an appointment with you, Director Shen. My surname is Xu."

The girl at the front desk looked at Xu Zhi and felt that she looked familiar, but her professional quality was still very high. She immediately flipped through the documents and made another call. After a while, she hung up the phone and said: "Hello Xu Sheng, Director Shen is currently here. I have a meeting, I wonder if I can wait for a while.”

"Okay." Xu Zhi nodded. In fact, he came a little early. Although a typhoon had just passed outside, as long as the sun came out on this day, it would not get much cooler, so he came out a little early.

After the lady at the front desk checked the document, she immediately walked out and said with a smile: "Xu Sheng, please come with me."

Following the front desk, I passed several office areas of Ming Pao. The last time I came here, I just went directly to the reception room at the door. This time, we have entered the core area of ​​Ming Pao. The space of the newspaper office is much larger than that of Jiahe Daily, and the density of personnel and work inside is also much higher. Everyone was busy and even if they moved around, they would do so at a trot and a slow pace.

Soon, the front desk took Xu Zhi to a sofa next to the director's office and said to Xu Zhi: "I'm sorry, I can't enter the office even if the director is not here. Xu Sheng can wait here for a while. I don't know if Xu Sheng is drinking." Coffee or tea?”

Xu Zhi smiled and said, "Thank you, just tea."

"Okay!" The front desk immediately prepared to go.

Xu Zhi looked around, walked to a bookshelf, and flipped through it. They were all kinds of newspapers neatly classified according to date, including Mingpao Evening News, Mingpao Weekly News, etc. At a glance, they all appeared to be from this year.

"Our Ming Pao will place all newspapers here every year for everyone's reference. After each year, all the information will be archived and collected so that future generations can inquire about the social affairs of that year. What does Xu Sheng think?"

The voice behind him startled Xu Zhi, and he turned around. A man of half a hundred people stood behind him, and asked, "Are you Director Shen?"

The visitor smiled and said: "Yes, Xu Sheng is really young!"

Xu Zhi asked: "Isn't Director Shen in a meeting? He's back so soon."

Shen Baoxin waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's just a routine meeting every day. I'm almost dozing off. When Xu Sheng comes, of course I have to take the opportunity to come out!"

Xu Zhi asked: "Have these newspapers been stored since 1959?"

Shen Baoxin shook his head: "No, it probably started in 1962. Our Ming Pao didn't develop smoothly at the beginning. It wasn't until we got on the right track in 1962 that we started to store all newspapers. In fact, not only Guangming Pao, but other newspapers such as Oriental Daily, Ta Kung Pao, etc. are also available.”

Xu Zhi nodded. He actually wanted to read all the information, although he now knew many time points. But knowing it doesn't mean you can use it. Many details of specific events come from some later generations' materials, which may not be the same as real history.

After thinking for a while, Xu Zhi finally asked: "Director Xu, can you lend me these newspapers?"

Shen Baoxin was stunned for a moment and said, "All of them?"

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "Yes, let's start from 1970! I don't know if it is convenient."

It doesn’t make much sense to read the newspapers from earlier. The last few years will suffice.

Shen Baoxin thought for a while and shook his head: "No, if Xu Sheng specifies which day's newspapers he needs, I can arrange for someone to find them. But there are too many newspapers from several years ago. We have already sealed them. It's no big deal. It won't happen." Feel free to move."

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "I'm sorry, that's okay, I just wanted to take a look."

Shen Baoxin said: "There is nothing I can do if I really want to see it, but I have to ask first which aspect Xu Sheng wants to see."

Xu Zhidao: "Economically speaking!"

Shen Baoxin smiled and said: "There is a way. I can arrange a copy machine, and then have people pick out all the economic newspapers in the Ming Pao, and then copy them into a volume and send it to Xu Sheng, but the cost must be borne by Xu Sheng Responsible."

Xu Zhidao: "This is quite troublesome and a waste of time."

Shen Baoxin smiled and said: "It seems that Xu Sheng still doesn't understand one thing. Time is more important to us than money. If I agree to lend you all the newspapers, how long will it take you to find what you need?" Where’s the information?”

Xu Zhi thought for a while and said: "For a long time, I originally planned to read it when I had free time."

Shen Baoxin said: "If Xu Sheng achieves something in the future, he will understand this truth. Instead of wasting his time, it is better to spend money to solve the problem. Efficiency is the most important, and free time is even more precious. Rest is the most important thing." Rare."

Almost all the rich people of later generations have private jets for themselves. This is not for luxury, but really just to save time, because many meetings and investments are made against time. If you waste a few hours waiting for a plane at the airport, you may lose millions of dollars or even more. More.

"Then how much would it cost to arrange for someone to prepare these materials?"

Shen Baoxin replied: "I don't know either. I have to ask a professional."

Xu Zhi asked: "Does Mingpao have this kind of business?"

Shen Baoxin smiled and said: "Yes, in fact, many writers who write economic stories, celebrity biographies, and regional economies have to check a lot of information. This information actually exists in newspapers published every day. Several major newspapers in Hong Kong have this need. However, It rarely provides external services and is usually used by insiders to search for information."

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "So that's it, I understand."

Shen Baoxin nodded and said: "This is a small matter. I will talk to the people below later. You can contact me individually for details. Please go to my office to talk about it."

"good!"
