Chapter 253 The explosive Oriental Daily
Central, Standard Chartered said:
It was not completely bright yet, a human-powered tricycle rode from a distance, arrived next to a newsstand, and shouted: "Old Liu, it's time to collect the newspapers."
"Here we come." Two people, an old man and a young man, walked out of the newsstand: "Old Wang, you came early enough today, it's only around 5 o'clock."
"I have a lot of work today, and I have opened a new newspaper." Lao Wang looked at the young man and asked, "Old Liu, is this your son?"
"Yes, take your son to experience the hard work of work, so that you don't have to think about studying every day." Lao Liu then asked: "There are many newspapers in Oriental Daily?"
As newspaper owners, they naturally know some advance information. Inside information, such as what new newspapers will be published, especially this time the Oriental Daily, has a vital interest in them.
Lao Wang nodded, then got out of the car and said: "Yes, you have distributed 100 newspapers here. You are really ambitious. It is estimated that the entire Hong Kong distribution is 20,000 to 30,000."
"Almost, come on, let's move together." Lao Liu also stepped forward to help and moved all today's newspapers with his son.
Then the delivery man, Lao Wang, left for the next newsstand.
Lao Liu and his son were packing newspapers.
Xiao Liu asked: "Daddy, how do you put these newspapers?"
Old Liu said: "Put a few copies of all the newspapers on the table in front of the newsstand, and then sell them. Take it from inside;
Look at what is on the table. I visited based on the sales volume in the recent period. The better the sales, the higher it will be placed. ”
said. After finishing, Lao Liu began to place newspapers one by one on the table.
Xiao Liu looked at it for a while and asked curiously: "The colored newspapers are all placed in the front because they sell the best?"
"That's not true." Lao Liu explained: "Our commission is for colored newspapers. The highest, so it is placed at the top. However, if some black and white newspapers have very good sales, they should also be placed at the top.”
“Then this Eastern Daily News also has very good sales?” A black and white newspaper pointing forward.
"No, this is a new newspaper." Lao Liu added: "This newspaper is a bit special. The boss behind it will give us an extra 2 cents commission for a newspaper, so of course it must be placed on the Good location. ’
“Only 2 points?” Xiao Liu felt a little disgusted.
"You bastard, I can't tell you how much money you will make this day, go out and let me see how much you can earn." Lao Liu was a little annoyed and said, "It's okay to just change positions and make 1 more yuan. If you don't make money, you won't make it in vain." "
"Oh, that's right." Xiao Liu nodded and asked: "What if the sales are poor?"
"It's not okay to give a commission. "Old Liu said again Said: "But it's unlikely. Behind this Oriental Daily is Hong Kong China Daily, which has very good content."
"Hong Kong China Daily? It belongs to the post-it king Yang Wendong?" Xiao Liu became interested: " I admire him very much."
"Then just read his newspaper," Lao Liu said with a smile. "The situation is about the same now."
"Okay." Xiao Liu quickly put down what he was doing, picked up the newspaper and started reading. The cover news was: [The birth of the youngest ship king]
"Ship King?" Xiao Liu suddenly became interested again, In Hong Kong, who doesn’t like the rich and powerful shipping king?
Then he turned to the second page, took a look, and said in surprise: "Is this new ship king also Yang Wendong?"
"What?" Lao Liu also walked over and saw After reading the content in the newspaper, he said in surprise: "You are praising yourself? Is it fake? Global level?"
"It doesn't count, right? I think it's true that Yang Sheng is the youngest. I'm the same size." Xiao Liu thought for a while and said.
"That's true." Lao Liu also felt that it made sense, and then said: "Look, at the same age, what is the level of others and what is your level?"
"There are more rich people who are as old as you... "Xiao Liu could only complain in a low voice.
"Get ready to work, it's almost dawn." Lao Liu sighed and said.
After a while, it started to get bright.
A young man came to the newsstand and scanned today's newspaper:
"The youngest shipping king?" The young man immediately became interested after seeing the title on the front page of this newspaper.
Then he looked at the upper right corner of the newspaper and asked the boss: "Oriental Daily? What newspaper is it in? I don't think I've heard of it?"
"This is new. Newspaper." The newsstand owner, Lao Liuxiao, said, "It's very cheap, 3 cents a piece, and the content is pretty good." "Three cents?" The young man picked it up. I touched the newspaper and it felt pretty good.
Nowadays, common newspapers cost 3-5 cents. Some high-end English newspapers or color newspapers may sell for 60, 70 cents or even higher.
Later, he readily gave 30 cents.
"Okay." After Lao Liu took the money, he let the young man take the newspaper by himself, and said: "This newspaper is actually a new newspaper launched by Hong Kong and China Daily, and the content in it is pretty good."
"Hong Kong China Daily? It belongs to the post-it king Yang Wendong?" the young man paused and asked.
He still admires the well-known rich people in Hong Kong, especially Yang Wendong, who started from scratch and successfully became the top businessman in Hong Kong in an environment like squatters. Who doesn't admire this experience?
In addition, they have never forgotten their roots. After becoming prosperous, they also tried their best to create jobs for squatter residents, and often did charity to help poor citizens. This gave them, the lower class people, a natural Good impression.
"That's right." Lao Liu said: "The shipping king in this newspaper is also talking about him. He purchased more than 20 cargo ships at one time and instantly became one of the new Chinese shipping kings in Hong Kong."
< br>"More than 20 ships?" The young man was shocked.
The value of a ship in Hong Kong is equivalent to that of an ordinary building. Even the one in Central is probably not as valuable as some very large freighters.
More than 20 ships are equivalent to more than 20 buildings. It is impossible for an ordinary person like him to buy a house with an area of 1,000 square feet in such a place after working for a lifetime, but others are building as unit.
"Haha, young man, work harder." Lao Liu said with a smile: "Maybe you can become the next Yang Wendong."
The young man shook his head and said: "The boss is joking."
Old Liu added: "There are a few chairs over there. If you are not in a hurry, you can go and sit there for a while."
>"Okay, thank you." After the young man finished speaking, he walked to the chair on the side.
It was relatively early and no one was here yet, so he opened the second page of the newspaper and read the article about the new shipping king carefully.
After a while, he came back to his senses and said with emotion: "It's really amazing. There are more than 20 10,000-ton ships. Although many of them are second-hand, they are not too big if they are paired with their own docks. Problem.”
This article describes in detail Yang Wendong’s layout and advantages in the maritime market, including various ships, the shipyard under construction in Kwai Chung, the maritime academy to train new talents, a large number of his own business orders, etc.
The text is concise and clear. Anyone who can read will be able to get a rough idea of this new shipping company in Hong Kong.
"Maritime Academy?" The young man came to his senses after a while, opened the newspaper again, and saw a description in a small box:
[Anyone who knows common Chinese characters and Men under the age of 30 who have basic English can apply. They can develop swimming, sea weather knowledge, and ship-related knowledge;
Those with a high degree of education can be trained to become senior technicians or managers on board, with a salary ranging from 500 to 1,000. Wait, the subsidy will be calculated separately. 】
"This salary is really not low." The young man was a little excited.
His academic qualifications are not low. He works as an ordinary clerk here in Central and earns about 300 a month, which is naturally much better than many ordinary people. But he knows his own suffering. If he continues like this, he may spend his whole life. Don’t even think about buying a better house in Hong Kong.
But he can't do other jobs. Now it seems that this maritime academy can do it. After 3-6 months of study, he can go to sea to exercise, and he will have a higher income.
It will definitely be harder than it is now, but if your income doubles or even triples or even triples, it will be worth it no matter how hard it is.
"Go back and discuss it with your family tonight." The young man made up his mind. The same thing is happening at newsstands elsewhere.
Many people came to the newsstand to buy newspapers, and they were immediately attracted by the words "New Ship King". In addition, newspapers were cheap, so they bought newspapers one after another.
After reading it, I noticed that there were also three words "youngest", but this is still a very good news.
"Yang Sheng is really amazing. He is so good at industry and real estate. Now he is doing shipping and can become a shipping king."
"Yes, he is only in his 20s. Years old, I will definitely become the top wealthy family in Hong Kong in the future.”
"Yes, I will probably reach the status of Ho Tung."
"Definitely."
"Oh, it would be great if I could marry him, even if I were young"
“Stop being so pretty, you don’t have to be a maid to be a maid?”
“Hahahaha~~~~”
In the office of the chairman of Jinshan Shipping in Admiralty, Hong Kong:
Dong Haoyun said after reading the newspaper in his hand: "What a big deal. I bought 24 ships at once. The scale of Changxing Shipping must be expanded immediately. Three times.”
“Yes, father. "Dong Jiancheng said: "Many of our Jinshan sailors and even captains have been poached recently, because of Changxing Shipping."
"Are many of them gone?" Dong Haoyun frowned. It doesn't matter personally, but if you go a lot, the impact will be huge.
Dong Jiancheng replied: "It's not a small number, but it won't have a big impact. Changxing Shipping should be poaching people from all over Hong Kong, and the British capital is not letting them go. I heard that they are also going to the Gulf. On the other side of the bay, they probably don’t want to offend a certain family.”
"It's impossible for him to care about this." Dong Haoyun smiled and said, "But that's fine. Not caring doesn't mean you have to offend people."
"Yes, and this Yang Wendong also had an affair with Bao Yu We jointly established a maritime academy with him." Dong Jiancheng added, "This maritime academy is for..."
Dong Haoyun waved his hand and said, "No introduction is needed. I know that Bao Yugang has approached me before. , but I didn’t agree.
We can just recruit people, or train some new people internally. It’s too troublesome to set up an academy. Is it possible to set up a navigation university like other countries?” >
If you just teach people how to operate a cargo ship, or how to operate a position in a cargo ship, that is very simple.
But he knew that Bao Yugang's purpose was to cultivate a large number of all-round sailing talents, which was very energy-consuming.
"I think this idea is really good." Dong Jiancheng said: "If it really comes true, then Hong Kong will really not be short of navigation talents."
"Which So easy." Dong Haoyun paused and said, "Even if it happens, we can still recruit people, just like Yang Wendong recruited me today, right?"
"That's right? ." Dong Jiancheng was speechless.
Of course it is legal to poach people. Even if there is any special agreement, it is a matter of losing money.
However, no matter how much you dig out the talents cultivated by other colleges, they will definitely not be able to compare with the number of talents that others can obtain from themselves.
Dong Haoyun looked at the newspaper in his hand again and said: "Although Changxing Shipping, plus It is less than 500,000 tons, but what the newspaper said is right. It is too young, about your age, and it has reached today's scale from scratch.
If it continues to develop like this, it will be a matter of time before it surpasses us. .”
Dong Jiancheng thought for a while and said: "Dad, although Yang Wendong is also very successful in other fields, when he entered the shipping industry, he absolutely relied on banks. This time he was able to buy so many ships at once because of his reliance on HSBC.
Now there are many Rumor has it that Sanders from the Credit Department of HSBC will serve as the next Taipan, and his governing strategy is to have good relations with Chinese capital and is also willing to invest in shipping. I think we can also use this opportunity to develop ourselves. ”
"Well, yes, you're right." Dong Haoyun nodded and said, "Then I have to visit Sanders sometime.
I'm about to go to Japan to place an order. A 50,000-100,000-ton oil tanker also needs the support of banks.”
Although HSBC’s Taipan has no money, he is indeed one of the controllers of Hong Kong’s wealth. From an economic perspective, he is not afraid. From HSBC, I’m afraid the only one is Jardine.
Others, even Ho Tung before, must be polite.
Dong Jiancheng said with a smile: "Then I hope daddy will go well."
"The new shipping king, the post-it king is so awesome!"
"Yes, I remember saying that Yang Sheng was a real estate tycoon before? Why did he become the shipping king again?"
>
"This is called diversification. Look at Yihe, they have hundreds of businesses, and Yang Sheng also has There are only a few.”
“Can Yang Sheng compare with Yihe? The market value of Yihe is close to 2 billion?”
“If you can’t compare with it now, it doesn’t mean that you can’t compare with it in the future. Look at it. Yang Sheng has only been in business for a few years, but Yihe is more than 100 years old!”
"None of this is important. Look at this. The Maritime Academy launched by Yang Sheng is recruiting students. Even if you only know a little bit, you can sign up and work as a cleaner on the ship. You can earn three to four hundred a month."
“Really~”
Yang Wendong’s name is in the news again. Now this name seems to have become the idol of many young people in Hong Kong. Anyone with his name can basically Will trigger hot sales.
It has also become a topic for many people in Hong Kong society.
Everyone admires and admires us, especially the factory of Changxing Industrial, which gives so many people job opportunities.
That night:
In the Hong Kong China Building, Yang Wendong yawned and then watched TV.
It’s just that the programs on Li’s TV station were so boring that they made him want to sleep.
"Are you sleepy? Do you want a cup of coffee?" Bai Yushan asked from the side.
"No, I will go to bed when the sales of Oriental Daily come out. I may not be able to sleep after drinking now." Yang Wendong shook his head and said.
Today is the first day that Oriental Daily is listed on the market. As the boss, he will stay here and wait for the final sales data.
Bai Yushan smiled and said: "It seems that you really value the media."
"Of course, although it doesn't make much money, the importance is very high." Yang Wendong said: "Furthermore, it can also help the development of other industries, especially real estate or supermarket industries."
Although the Hong Kong market is not big, real estate is indeed very powerful. As for other service industries, if they can achieve monopoly The level is also very good;
What’s more important is that by gaining a small cornerstone in Hong Kong and experience in operating this industry, we will also have the opportunity to enter other markets in the future.
"Yes." Bai Yushan nodded. Many people understand this truth, but it is difficult to do well in the media industry.
"Dong dong dong~" At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Yang Wendong looked up and saw that it was Qin Zhiye, so he greeted: "Come in."
After Qin Zhiye walked in , greeted and said: "Yang Sheng, Miss Bai, today's Oriental Daily sales volume has been released, a total of 26,000 copies have been sold."
"26,000 copies?" Yang Wendong asked back: "I remember the highest-selling newspaper in Hong Kong was 43,000 copies, right?"
"Yes, that is also the highest record in one day." Qin Zhiye said with a smile. : "We are a new newspaper. If we can reach 26,000, it is already a very good result."
