Chapter 797 Mysterious Gift

9days ago Celebrity fiction 8
Compared to buying the TV copyright of Jin Yong's drama, Kang Jianfei wanted to buy Jin Yong's "Ming Pao". Last year, Jin Yong revealed the intention of taking over "Ming Pao".

Unfortunately, Kang Jianfei's political stance is too clear, while Ming Pao's position is to strictly adhere to neutrality. Jin Yong will definitely not be able to sell Ming Pao to him.

Although the possibility is not great, Kang Jianfei still wants to talk to Jin Yong in person and try to see if he can buy the copyrights of "The Legend of Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

After all, the Li Ruotong version of Li Ruotong, who became popular in Asia in the original time and space, is a pity not to be photographed, and the ratings can be made with just advertising fees.

After becoming her own woman, although Weng Meiling became a top star in Feng Huáng Station with her own help, she always lacked a work that could make her famous.

Although "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was filmed by TVB, in Kang Jianfei's opinion, the version of He Chaoqiong is still lacking in spirituality than the version of Weng Meiling.

The news that Jin Yong planned to retire was reported two years ago on the 30th anniversary of the founding of Ming Pao. He suddenly announced at the tea party that he would resign as president and remained only as chairman of the board of directors of Ming Pao.

As soon as this news came out, more than 10 consortiums came to discuss the acquisition of the equity held by Jin Yong.

Those who want to acquire Ming Pao include: Hong Kong's acquisition of Leung Botao, the boss of Belle Group, Hong Kong version of Playboy Zheng Jinghan, British newspaper tycoon Maxway, Hong Kong's chief chaebol Li Ka-shing, Jardine Wong Foreign Company, Australian media king Murdoch, South China Morning Post major shareholder, Japan Tokuma Bookstore, and Yu Pinghai, general manager of Zhicai Company.

But two years have passed, and Jin Yong still has not sold Ming Pao, and he is not even too lazy to ask for the price.

Not only that, Ming Pao Group even went public a few months ago.Jin Yong shouted to retire and listed the company in his hands, which made outsiders even more confused.

After many acquisition teams hit a wall, they gave up the idea of ​​acquiring Ming Pao, because it was not a matter of money at all. Jin Yong's intention was to find a suitable heir to carry forward the spirit of Ming Pao.

This heir must be young and promising (under 40 years old), and must be appreciated by Jin Yong, and be consistent with Jin Yong's philosophy of running a newspaper.

After the consortium and the rich tycoon withdrew, one person persisted, that is Yu Pinghai, the consultant of Japan Tokuma Bookstore.

This person's career experience is also quite legendary. He was originally just a Feng Huáng man studying in Canada. After returning to Hong Kong, he worked as an editor and columnist in media such as Xinbao and Financial Daily.

Six years ago, Yu Pinghai persuaded his friend to invest 800,000 yuan to establish Zhicai Consulting Management Company, and he was the only one in the company, from the general manager to the employee.

In just two years, Yu Pinghai successfully listed Zhicai Company, and its market value soared to HK$600 million.

Although it is more than HK$600 million, it is only a little money compared to any chaebol who wants to acquire Ming Pao.

What's more, Yu Pinghai is just the general manager of the listed company, and the real major shareholder is his partner friend.

But Yu Pinghai is the person who has the most hope to take over Ming Pao. He has been making Jin Yong happy for the past two years, accompanying Jin Yong to watch operas, play chess, eat hairy crabs, and discussing his ideals in running a newspaper.

In addition, Yu Pinghai looks a bit like Jin Yong's dead son, and the two get along very well, and even walk around during the Chinese New Year and holidays. Now he is almost like Jin Yong's godson.

If Kang Jianfei wants to acquire Ming Pao Group, he must clear the obstacle of Yu Pinghai.

Although Oriental Media already has newspapers and magazines such as "Tiantian Express", "Tiantian Daily", "Financial Daily", and "Qingxin Weekly", each journal has a different audience group, and the influence of "Ming Pao" in the Hong Kong middle class is urgently needed by Oriental Media Group.

Check the house.

Yu Pinghai held a black piece in his hand, and looked at the crisscrossing chessboards and was undecided. One of his big dragons was about to be eaten by Jin Yong.

After thinking hard for more than ten minutes, Yu Pinghai finally gave in and gave in and exclaimed: Mr.'s chess skills are getting better and better, and I can't even catch up with it.

Jin Yong smiled and taught his philosophy to Yu Pinghai: You must have a view of the overall situation when playing chess, be far-sighted, and not only see immediate interests.

Yu Pinghai turned the topic to Ming Pao and said: What sir has taught me is that I think the same is true for newspapers and magazines.The most obvious counterexamples are the Oriental Daily and One Weekly, both of which ignore morality for the sake of immediate sales.A newspaper publishes popular articles, and a magazine attracts readers' attention by secretly filming and leaking information. Such a publication is not worth mentioning.

A child can teach you!

Jin Yong was very satisfied with Ping Hai's understanding, and he said: That's exactly what it is.Kang Jianfei's "The Legend of Qin" was first invested in Ming Pao, but I rejected it. Later, the sales of "Oriental Daily" increased by tens of thousands of copies because of "The Legend of Qin", but I did not regret it at all.Why?Because there are too many romantic plots in "The Legend of Qin" that are inconsistent with the positioning of "Ming Pao".

Dingling...

The phone in the study suddenly rang. Before Jin Yong could stand up, Lin Leyi, who came in with the refreshment, answered the phone: Hello, hello, this is Cha Mansion, who... Well, okay, I'll ask you for a while, please wait...

Lin Leyi covered the microphone and said to Jin Yong: Kang Jianfei wants to invite you to have afternoon tea and ask when you are free.

What did he ask me for?Jin Yong thought for a while and said, telling him that I have time tomorrow afternoon.At three o'clock in the afternoon, Longfeng Tea House.

Lin Leyi gave a reply as Jin Yong meant, picked up the tray and left the study room.

Jin Yong is old and doesn't move much in the refreshment.Yu Pinghai ate it without hesitation, just like his own family, and asked: Sir, Kang Jianfei is very familiar with you?

I just saw it a few times, Jin Yong shook his head and suddenly said, "By the way, you go with me tomorrow, and you two young handsome men will contact each other."

Is it appropriate for me to go?

Yu Pinghai actually wants to know Kang Jianfei very much. The Zhicai Consulting Management Company he manages has many cooperation needs with Kang Jianfei's companies. Taking advantage of Kang Jianfei is a good opportunity to expand the company's business.

Jin Yong obviously regarded Yu Pinghai as his nephew. He smiled and said: It's just a afternoon tea, nothing is inappropriate.

Jin Yong didn't take this seriously, but Kang Jianfei was surprised when he saw Yu Pinghai. He didn't expect that Jin Yong and Yu Pinghai were so close.

Even my own son is rarely brought by my side to private appointments.

Hello, Mr. Cha.Kang Jianfei glanced at Yu Pinghai, then shook hands with Jin Yong with a smile.

Jin Yong smiled and said: Mr. Kang, don’t you mind drinking tea with one more person?

If you are friends worth making, I think the more the better.Kang Jianfei said something in his words.

Jin Yong did not think much and introduced: This is Yu Pinghai from Zhicai Consulting Company.

Kang Jianfei smiled and said: I have long admired the name.

Yu Pinghai said: If you dare not take it, Mr. Kang is worthy of his reputation.

Kang Jianfei wanted to buy Ming Pao last year and sent someone to check the old secrets of Yu Pinghai, a competitor. Recently, he got amazing news, so he decided to ask Jin Yong to come out and talk.

After sitting down, Jin Yong asked with a smile: I heard that Mr. Kang is filming a new film that cost 400 million yuan. Why do you have time to come out for tea with me, the old man?

Kang Jianfei said truthfully: The shooting base is being built, and the actors have not yet been in place. I guess it will take two months to start the filming.

I watched the movie version of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" and it was filmed very vividly. I heard that the movie cost more than 100 million yuan?

Although Jin Yong disdains "The Legend of Qin", he likes the novel "The Legend of the Tomb Robbers".

Kang Jianfei nodded and said: With the promotional cost, it is indeed more than 100 million.

The two chatted for a while and then talked about "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer: The Oriental Invincible" filmed by Tsui Hark.

Jin Yong himself was very dissatisfied with this movie. He blamed Tsui Hark for being too outrageous in front of Kang Jianfei, saying that he would never hand over the copyright of the novel to Tsui Hark again.

Since the topic has already talked about the novel, Kang Jianfei said: Mr. Cha, I actually asked you to have tea today because I wanted to buy the copyright of the TV series "The Legend of Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Jin Yong said strangely: Even if Feng Huángtai wants to remake "The Legend of Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", you don't have to come to talk to me in person, right?

Kang Jianfei laughed and said: No one can tell anyone who comes, so I have to try my luck by myself.

Jin Yong took a sip of black tea and said: Mr. Kang, you made me feel embarrassed.

I know that Mr. Cha and Daheng Shao have a good personal relationship, so I gave you a special gift today. Kang Jianfei handed over a file bag to Jin Yong. If Mr. Cha thinks that such a gift is heavy enough, then let's talk about the TV copyright of "The Legend of Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Jin Yong curiously took apart the document bag, which contained more than ten pages of thick printing paper.

Yu Haiping also wanted to know what was inside, but he could only suppress his curiosity and not peek at it, and silently drank tea to observe Jin Yong's reaction.

Jin Yong's expression was initially confused, and then his eyes suddenly glared, as if he saw something that surprised him.

Jin Yong slowly frowned and looked down with a gloomy face. When he finished reading the information, his hands were trembling with anger.

Jin Yong was still very cunning. He quickly suppressed his negative emotions, put the information back into the file bag, and asked Kang Jianfei: Are these true?

It was true. Kang Jianfei smiled and looked at Yu Pinghai next to him, saying, If Mr. Cha didn't believe it, he could spend money to hire a private detective to investigate, and then the truth would naturally be revealed.

I will ask someone to investigate, and I believe Mr. Kang will not be able to break the panic if he pokes.

Jin Yong put away the file bag and said: I have accepted this favor. I will sell you the TV copyrights of "The Legend of Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to you for 1 Hong Kong dollars.

Kang Jianfei said: Let’s negotiate according to the normal market price.

Jin Yong shook his head and said: This is my favor from Mr. Huan Kang, please do not refuse.

OK, Kang Jianfei stood up and said, it was a bit inconvenient today. I would like to discuss something with Mr. Cha and discuss it in detail later.

Jin Yong also stood up, shook hands with Kang Jianfei and said: Let’s talk about it another day.

The two left the teahouse one by one, and the whole process seemed to be a puzzle, which made Yu Pinghai on the side confused and didn't know what was going on.

Yu Pinghai followed Jin Yong and asked: Sir, is the west given to you by Kang Jianfei very important?You actually gave him the copyright of the TV series "The Legend of Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Jin Yong nodded with a look of water and said: It's very important. Not to mention "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", he asked me to give all the copyrights of the TV series of 15 novels.
