Chapter 223 Capture
Here in Xiangjiang, compared to other industries, the wages of printing factory workers are already low, but even so, a worker's salary is tens of thousands of yuan a month. .
Compared with this place, the wages in Pengcheng across the river are naturally much lower.
Doing the same job, the printing factory workers over there earn only a few hundred dollars a month, and it is very rare to make more than a thousand dollars.
If you really want to find a suitable printing house to help print newspapers, it is naturally a very good and wise choice for Tiantian Newspaper Industry.
However, not long after Jiang Yao made this suggestion, a group of managers headed by Gao Hongsheng looked at each other, and someone had already spoken and gave some different opinions: "Boss, here in Xiangjiang, speech is relatively free."
“The content published in our newspaper is reasonable and legal here, and there is nothing inappropriate about it. But if it is placed in Pengcheng, there will definitely be a lot of illegal content.”
"Although our newspapers are only distributed in Xiangjiang and will not flow to the federal government, even if they are just printing, they are still subject to a certain degree of supervision."
"The labor there is cheap. We naturally know that printing newspapers there can minimize the cost.”
“However, the relatively regular printing plants there are worried that their factories will be blocked due to content violations, so they are not willing to accept this payment at all. Order.”
"Small, workshop-style printing plants or black shops may not mind this, but it's hard to guarantee the quality of newspapers..."
When Jiang Yaozhen made this suggestion just now, he didn't think much about it.
But now, after hearing what this person said, he felt that this was indeed the truth.
Some of the content published in newspapers here in Hong Kong is often quite taboo. Comments criticizing senior officials of the Hong Kong government often appear openly in newspapers and periodicals.
Looking at the Federation, the most important criterion for whether a piece of news can appear in newspapers is whether its speech is politically correct.
By the standards there, if you look at the Daily Daily, you can easily find a bunch of illegal things in the daily content.
It seems reasonable that the regular printing houses over there would be scrupulous and unwilling to help Tiantian Daily print newspapers.
“The reconstruction work at the printing house cannot be completed in a short time.”
“The distribution of newspapers and periodicals can only be stopped for three to five days, but it must not be delayed like this forever. Go down.”
“The regular printing factories across the street are not willing to accept our orders, so it’s better to find those small black factories. The quality of the newspapers is slightly worse than being closed forever.”
"In addition, the printing factory here in Xiangjiang is not willing to cooperate with us, right? Then buy it directly. As long as the money is available, there will always be someone willing to sell it."
"Of course, I am just suggesting how to do it. It’s up to you, Mr. Gao, to control it yourself.”
With hundreds of millions in cash in hand, Jiang Yao naturally sounded wealthy.
After a few words of explanation, he changed the topic and continued: "What about the newspaper association? What's going on? Our daily newspaper industry has not joined it?"
"Still sanctioning us? Are all members boycotting us? Or are certain newspapers leading this matter?"
Even though he is the boss of a newspaper group, he just provided a sum of funds.
He didn't pay much attention to the news in the newspaper industry. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked such a question at this moment.
“Boss, more than 90% of the newspapers in Hong Kong are members of the Press Association.”
“In the association, there are large newspaper groups such as Daily News, Oriental Daily, Apple Daily, etc. , all occupy a certain position. The association's sanctions against us must have received their approval."
"At the beginning, not long after our Tiantian Daily was established, we had already applied to join the Press Association. .”
"It's just that our application was rejected several times by the Press Association on the grounds of issuance violations."
With a look of helplessness, Gao Hongsheng sighed and said with emotion.
Before taking charge of Tiantian Newspaper Group, he had been working in the newspaper industry for nearly ten years and was considered a veteran in the industry.
Using high rebates as a strategy, in addition to burning more money, can indeed enable his own newspaper to open up the market as quickly as possible. Gao Hongsheng certainly knows this.
But he also knows that for the industry, Tiantian Daily’s move is simply destroying the market, which is no different from directly flipping the market. It will definitely attract the hostility of many peers.
Just like now, in terms of sales, they are already the second in Hong Kong. Not only are they shut out by the Press Association, but the association has also ordered the association to impose sanctions on them.
"Reject us to join? Then we will play our own game, and if we don't join, we will."
"I abide by the business order and do business in a disciplined manner, but they are playing dirty tricks with me. That's up to them."
"Whether it's the Oriental Daily or the Sun and Moon News, this time the printing house was set on fire, don't let me find out that it has anything to do with them, otherwise, I will. I will let them know what I, Jiang, will be like if I don't obey the rules."
With a calm face, Jiang Yao snorted coldly.
In terms of the operation of the newspaper group, except for investing 100 million, he basically had little control over it.
His newspaper was really going to close down due to the failure of business operations. Apart from being a little distressed, he seemed to be just like that.
But now, my newspaper is running well, but it has attracted pressure from others. In order to make it difficult for the Tiantian newspaper industry to survive, I have even resorted to such dirty tricks as arson.
The so-called uncle can tolerate aunt but not, Jiang Yao cannot bear this kind of thing no matter what. After having a general understanding of the situation of the newspaper group, he did not stay in the conference room for long.
After all, he is not good at business, and he also knows nothing about crisis public relations.
When it comes to newspaper printing, I finally put forward a suggestion that I thought was pretty good, but because of something I didn’t consider, it was quickly and reasonably rejected.
How to deal with the burning of the printing factory? Professional matters should be left to professionals like Gao Hongsheng to consider.
If Jiang Yao continues to stay here, it will only affect the performance of his subordinates.
After greeting Gao Hongsheng, Cheng Feier and others in the conference room, he walked out of the conference room and left directly.

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.
It was around eight o'clock in the evening, near Tsuen Wan, on an abandoned construction site near the beach.
A concrete mixer truck was buzzing non-stop, with a cigarette in his mouth and a soldier like a golden sword sitting on an abandoned stone pier.
Several of his Changmao Sens were waiting around him, with him as the center.
“Brother Xiong, it was Liang Zaidong who took the lead in setting fire to the printing factory, and I just chipped in. That matter really has nothing to do with me.”
“What are you asking me about? , I already said, for the sake of my cooperation, please go around me this time!”
“I have a grandma to support at home, and a younger sister who is in middle school. I really I can't die!"
On the ground a few meters away from the soldier, a young man looked like a slug. His legs were dripping with blood. He could no longer stand up. He was leaning on the ground with his elbows, begging for mercy. While kowtowing repeatedly to the soldiers.
"You were one of the five people who set fire to Tiantian Printing Factory, right?"
"Although you didn't start the fire, you were one of the people who poured gasoline into the factory, right?" "
"That's it, you have the nerve to say you are innocent?"
"Hiding at the end of Shixia, do you think I can't find you? I can tell you for sure, not only You, Liang Zaidong, Da Tou Jian and Guang Tou Hui, don’t even think about running away.”
Spitting on the ground, Bing Zai stood up and faced the man a few steps away. Chang Maosen waved.
After taking a steel pipe from his hand, he walked up to the young man in a few steps and hit the steel pipe hard on his knees.
With his brute strength, when these steel pipes came down, all the bones in the young man's knees were broken, leaving only a little flesh and blood still connected.
"Boom, boom, boom..." The roar of the locomotive engine came from far and near, falling into the ears of the soldiers.
After the car drove nearby, Jiang Yao stopped the car. He took off his helmet and jumped out of the car.
"Uncle Yao!" Dropping the steel pipe in his hand, the soldier immediately rushed forward.
"Yeah!" Jiang Yao nodded and took a few steps forward. He pointed at the young man whose face was covered in blood and could no longer see clearly on the ground, and continued: "Is this the little brat who set fire to my factory? "
"This guy is nicknamed Mountain Dog. He is one of the five people who set fire to the Tiantian Printing Factory."
After kicking the kid, the soldier continued: "He. I hid at the end of Shixia with another accomplice. My men were not familiar with that area, so I captured one of him and the other one ran away."
"Whether it was him or the other handsome guy. Dong Tai Tou Kin and others are all mixed with old and new people, and they are followed by Brother Dazhong from Tsuen Wan.”
……
From this mountain dog's mouth, the soldier obviously found out a lot of things.
In front of Jiang Yao, he told all the information he had.
“I don’t care where they are. If they dare to burn my factory, they must be prepared to die.”
“It’s enough to catch one of them, and no one else can escape. "
"My little brother has caused trouble, so Brother Da Zhong in Tsuen Wan cannot possibly let Scar Liu take action and kill him directly without knowing anything about it."
"Besides, the leader of Xinji is Boss Xiang, right? Get his contact information, and I'll ask him directly for help."
Looking away from the kid on the ground, Jiang Yao ordered in a deep voice.
With his method, it is actually easier to kill a few people, but it seems too low to do it personally for any trivial matter.
Instead of directly killing Scar Liu and the others, he would instead use them for his own purposes, just so that he could save some energy when doing dirty work?
I threw 20 million to Scar Liu and the others, which cost their lives.
From Jiang Yao's point of view, if they take action on such a trivial matter, there will definitely be no problem.
