So that's how it is...
After listening to her husband's firm analysis, Ms. Deng Liping did not speak for a long time.
She picked up the newspaper again and looked through the descriptions and pictures about the tragic situation of "Dragon Jump". Her regret for Kobayashi Tenno became even stronger.
She sighed softly, with a tone that was almost pitiful: "Oh my God... such a talented young man, even the Huo family, the real owner, didn't really make a move. Just the local tyrants in the territory where he wanted to break in and trample on them fought back desperately, and he was already in such a state of humiliation and powerless to fight back?
My dear, this... this is too..."
She shook her head and found an adjective, "Too fragile!
It's so vulnerable!
You said before that you wanted to see a fight between dragons and tigers, the Huo family versus that dragon from Japan?
Now it seems like it was just a one-sided massacre, with the small fish being torn to pieces by the fish and shrimp in the big pond. What's so exciting about it? It's so boring."
She completely lost interest in the "economic struggle" that her husband was keenly observing, feeling that she had already seen the ending in advance.
Sir Murray MacLehose still had that mysterious smile on his face and did not comment on his wife's evaluation.
He glanced at the TV, and the news had already switched to other content.
Ms. Deng Liping's sympathy stems more from her pity for Kobayashi Tenmo's personal image. She continued her analysis:
“You see… this situation is even worse now.
It was not easy for him to use "Dragon Jump" to seize the already crowded print media market in Hong Kong Island. What's more important is that his identity is so sensitive - a Chinese with Japanese nationality!
How embarrassing is this in Hong Kong Island today?
Hong Kong society itself is complex, and his Japanese background will naturally make him lose a lot of sympathy and support.
unless……"
She recalled the embarrassing incident involving Peter Ho in front of Gate 3 at Repulse Bay, “Unless there’s another unexpected incident like the last one that caused such a stir.
Otherwise, which newspaper or media outlet would dare to withstand the heavy pressure, risk offending local tycoons, or even be involved in "standpoint issues", and publicly stand up to speak for Kobayashi Tenmo, an "invader" from Japan?
He can't even make a sound, so how can he fight back?"
She had almost made a conclusion that Kobayashi Tenwang had no chance of turning the situation around.
The fate of a loser without a mouthpiece and trapped on an isolated island is already doomed.
However, to Deng Liping's surprise, Sir Murray MacLehose not only did not agree with her analysis, but waved his hand casually, with a gleam in his eyes that said "You underestimate me too much."
"Honey, what you said about his identity, the media's attitude, and how no one would speak up for him..."
MacLehose said slowly, "I believe that young Mr. Xiaolin had anticipated this from the very beginning!
He understands this better than anyone else.”
“Expected?
Did you anticipate being left alone?"
Ms. Deng Liping was even more confused. "What should he do then? Just sit there and wait for death?"
"He certainly won't sit still and wait for death."
MacLehose's smile deepened, with a hint of anticipation as the game entered a new phase, "No one else will speak up for him?
It’s simple, he will immediately have his own voice and make his own strongest sound!
Because... he's going to publish his own newspaper soon!"
"God! Oh my God!"
Ms. Deng Liping exclaimed in surprise, her elegant posture instantly broken. She sat up straight and leaned forward, her eyes filled with disbelief and immense curiosity.
"Is this true?!!! He...he actually has such ambitions?
In such a precarious time?
What newspaper is it?
Tell me now!
It’s not enough to run a comics club, so you start a newspaper when the magazine is about to go bankrupt?
This young man's work is so crazy and unexpected!
What is he going to do?
Seeing his wife's reaction, MacLehose was clearly very satisfied. He slowly revealed the answer: "The name has been decided: The Asia Daily."
He noticed the shock in his wife’s eyes and continued to explain, “It was very fast and very secretive.
Just a few days ago, he quietly acquired a small daily newspaper, the Kong Island Evening Post, which was poorly managed and on the verge of bankruptcy through an agent.
After the acquisition was completed, a formal application for name change and revision was immediately submitted to the Hong Kong government's Press and Publication Administration.
As far as I know, the Information Office has officially approved the application this afternoon.
Tomorrow at the latest..."
MacLehose raised his hand and pointed to the brightly lit city below the mountain, “Tomorrow morning, you will be able to see this brand new inaugural issue of the Asia Daily on newsstands throughout Hong Kong!
I'm curious about what kind of powerful attack he will deliver in this inaugural issue to reverse the decline of Dragon Jump.
It is no coincidence that this newspaper was launched at this time. It is a clarion call for counterattack!
MacLehose was full of anticipation; he liked this kind of unexpected trick.
"Asia Daily...acquired the Hong Kong Evening News...you'll see it tomorrow..."
Ms. Deng Liping murmured repeatedly, and the regret and sorrow on her face disappeared, replaced by an expression mixed with shock, excitement and extreme anticipation.
Her fingertips tapped unconsciously on the armrest of the sofa.
“Oh my god, this is so exciting!
It turns out he never gave up!
