“The real enemy is not that rotten book, nor that machine!
It's a person! It's the person hiding behind the scenes, manipulating all this, who wants to trample me, Lin Huowang, underfoot and drive me out of Hong Kong Island!"
He turned around, his eyes blazing as he stared directly at Gao Qiaohao. "It's not hard to guess who the enemy is... Hong Kong's comics world, Wong Yuk-lang! Shangguan Xiaobao! The Chang Kee printing factory at 76 Fuk Wing Street, Sham Shui Po... And that young master of the Huo family who got humiliated at the door yesterday!"
Lin Huowang's voice was not loud, but every word was like the sound of a hammer:
"They think that by destroying my machines, cutting off my production, and tarnishing my reputation through piracy, they can leave me helpless?
Are we going to just watch the reputation we worked so hard to build for Dragon Jump crumble?
The last trace of smile in his eyes completely disappeared, leaving only the cold murderous look:
"They must have forgotten. I, Kobayashi Tenou... have never been a rabbit to be chased by others!"
"They want to play dirty business warfare? Fine! Then I, Xiaolin Tianwang, will play a big game with him!"
"Piracy is tearing my face off? Then I'll completely crush its face with a hundred more sophisticated, more beautiful, and more explosive comics!"
"The machines are paralyzed and my production line is broken? Then I will find ten or a hundred scattered production lines and make the entire Hong Kong Island my printing factory!
I want to see how many houses Shangguan Xiaobao and Huang Yulang can smash!"
He walked to the desk, picked up a pen, quickly wrote down a few addresses and names on a piece of white paper, and threw it to Gao Qiaohao:
"Do it immediately! First, contact Japan. No matter the cost, urgently airlift five sets of brand new Heidelberg S74 core spare parts to me!"
At the same time, have Central Industrial immediately purchase three new machines of the same model! Ship them to Hong Kong Island! Money is not a problem!
"Second, call Yongsheng Printing in Sham Shui Po, New Arts Printing in Mong Kok, and Lee Fat Industrial in Kowloon City.
Ask their boss if they can take our order and print a special Hong Kong edition of "Dragon JUMP"!
Tell them, the price is 50% higher than the market price!
But you have to start up the machine as quickly as possible! All printing quality must be carried out according to the standards of the Japanese quality inspectors I sent over!
Can they fix ink and paper?
Can they guarantee delivery within three days?
Then I'll pay 30% of the deposit now!
Tell them that if they dare to take this order, they will be tied to me, Kobayashi Tenmo, for the regular printing of Dragon Jump in Hong Kong Island from now on!
"Third, notify Director Su of Chuncheng Film Studio and ask him to coordinate manpower and, even if it means working through the night, rush out a batch of exquisite gifts for the simplified Chinese version of the second issue of 'Dragon Jump'!
Keychain? Sticker? Poster? Character card? Give me a fancy design!
Communicate well with the state-owned factories in the mainland and ship directly to Hong Kong Island!
We will immediately launch an activity at all newsstands and bookstores in Hong Kong Island: 'Report piracy, take photos and collect evidence'!
Any reader who provides effective clues of piracy can receive a free copy of the genuine second issue of "Dragon Jump" and this exquisite gift at our designated location with the evidence!
I want readers who bought pirated copies to tear them up themselves!
We also want to let everyone see what genuine quality is!"
"fourth……"
Lin Huowang paused, a cold glint in his eyes. "Have you prepared the document from last night? Mr. Gao Qiao, I asked you to register the publication number for the new newspaper."
Gao Qiaohao nodded immediately. "Hi! Xiaolin-kun! I spoke with Attorney Wu yesterday. The application for a publication number for the Asia Daily, submitted under the name of Dragon Culture Media (Hong Kong Island) Co., Ltd., is now proceeding. As you requested, we're keeping it very low-key and using the expedited process."
"very good."
Lin Huowang said coldly, "Now, immediately find a few 'trustworthy' tabloid reporters.
No, just find those tabloids that specialize in sniffing out gossip, are bold, and dare to write anything for money, but have no background themselves. Give them some information..."
He lowered his voice, his tone as cold as a venomous snake:
"Tell them...according to relevant people's 'accidental' disclosure...
Someone spotted Mr. Shangguan Xiaobao's right-hand man, Fatty Kun, at the back door of the Wynn Printing Center in Kwun Tong late last night...
At the same time… the latest model of the Heidelberg Speedmaster S74 four-color printing press at Dragon Jump magazine was vandalized. An eyewitness claimed that it was Fatty Kun who did it, and he even took photos of the crime on the spot…”
Gao Qiaohao's eyes lit up instantly: "Xiao Lin-kun! Do you really have evidence of their destruction? If so, we can report it to the police immediately..."
The cold arc of Lin Huowang's mouth reappeared: "Don't worry! I expected them to come and sabotage us, so I deliberately had people squatting and taking pictures to keep evidence.
Don't they think they are chess players? However, they probably forget that chess pieces can bite people.
Shangguan Xiaobao and Huang Yulang smashed my machine, so I'll let them also have a taste of... the feeling of being bitten back!
First, bite these accomplices hiding in the gutter and hurt them! Bite them to pieces! Let their backyards burn and they will be unable to take care of themselves!
Force the masters behind them to decide... should they protect these dirty gloves? Or... make them abandoned pawns!
There's no need to hand the photos over to the police first. Keeping them in our hands will pose a greater threat to them. We just need to spread the news that we have photographic evidence and keep them in constant fear..."
The depressing atmosphere in the living room of Repulse Bay No. 3 has not dissipated.
On the contrary, because of Lin Huowang's murderous yet clear-minded instructions, there was a sense of solemnity as if a storm was about to come.
Gao Qiaohao looked at the young boss in front of him whose cold anger suddenly turned into a raging fire.
Watching him resolve the killing situation step by step and set up an even more dangerous and fierce counter-killing situation, the panic in my heart had long been replaced by an almost trembling awe.
"Hey! Kobayashi-kun! I'll do it right away!"
Gao Qiaohao bowed deeply, and when he raised his head again, his eyes had become extremely firm and sharp.
The sun is shining outside the window.
Inside the window, the horn of counterattack has already sounded.
The storm brought by Repulse Bay is destined not to calm down.
