I haven’t seen Chinese writing reach such a level of immersion and captivation in a long time.”
She paused, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she looked at her husband: “Of course, my dear, my gains are inseparable from you, the living dictionary.
The plight of King Xiaocheng of Zhao, the peril of the hostage Yiren, who later became King Zhuangxiang of Qin, and the complex titles of Qin-era officials... Without your guidance, Governor of Hong Kong, who is well-versed in Chinese history, I would have missed much of the depth of the story and the subtle meaning of the characters' choices."
MacLehose smiled reservedly and accepted his wife's compliment. This was a little pleasure he enjoyed.
However, the topic quickly shifted from the charm of the novel to more core practical considerations.
His fingertips landed precisely on the founder's signature on the newspaper headline - "Kobayashi Tenwang". His eyes suddenly became sharp and deep, with the prudence of seeing through a chess game.
"And this young man... Kobayashi Tenmo,"
MacLehose's voice remained steady, but it carried a weight. "Once again, he has forced me to drastically revise my existing understanding.
I knew he would make a big splash, but I never expected... that this 'stunning' move would be so earth-shattering!
The launch of the Asia Daily is more than just a debut.
It’s a textbook case of market storming!
"Three axes, each axe splits the mountain, with such precision and ferocity that it sends chills down one's spine."
He put down his coffee cup, leaned forward slightly, and began his analysis with clear logic and a sharp gaze: "The first move set off a fireball, competing for attention and anchoring the sense of presence.
The method is sharp and ruthless, targeting the most vulnerable nerves of Hong Kong Island - the secrets of wealthy families and the emotional secrets of celebrities.
He did not hesitate to intervene in the game himself, and with precise guidance, he ignited the dispute between the eldest son of the Huo family and himself over the mysterious Miss Liu Rumeng into a public opinion war that attracted the attention of the whole nation.
Extremely efficient!
The cost was almost zero, and the names "Kobayashi Tenmo" and "Asia Daily" were instantly imprinted in the minds of every Hong Kong citizen in the most impactful way.
This move of "self-pollution and provoking war" may seem extreme, but it is a fatal blow with the lowest cost and highest speed in the competition for basic traffic and media presence.
With just this one battle, the newly born Asia Daily planted an unshakable flag in the crowded newspaper battlefield.
It clears the 'cognitive blind spots' for all subsequent actions."
He sipped his warm coffee, his eyes gleaming like a scalpel. "The second move was even more exquisite, piercing the barrier, sinking and merging.
Novel and profound, directly hitting the core pain points!
He chose an unprecedented and tricky angle—using the most mundane and livelihood-related topics to delve into the grand international political and economic landscape.”
He flipped through the newspaper, pointing to the commentary on the Thai coup and rice prices in Hong Kong, "Look at this headline: 'Has the Thai coup affected Hong Kong's dining tables? Southeast Asian turmoil and the rice in your bowl.'
There is no piling up of obscure terms and no condescending preaching tone.
It brought the dust of a military mutiny in Bangkok steadily into the rice pot where an old lady in Kowloon was cooking porridge, and landed on the bottom of the lunch box where a worker in Kwun Tong was carrying his lunch!
The abstract geopolitics is instantly brought into the daily life of every ordinary citizen.
This topic, which seems to be about everyday life, actually contains profound economic insights.
It has effectively broken down the invisible wall between professional financial and political commentary and the general public, making serious news approachable, tangible and within reach.
Once this move was made, the 'silent majority' - those citizens who were busy making a living and rarely cared about distant current affairs - were also firmly captured by him. His influence far exceeded the underworld secrets that Ming Pao threw out today to attract cultural elites.
This 'sinking' and 'fusion' is absolutely wonderful!"
MacLehose took a deep breath, his gaze finally resting on the magnificent opening of "A Step into the Past," which took up almost two full pages. A look of admiration, akin to meeting a worthy opponent, crossed his face. "The third move is to truly forge a golden anchor and establish a content moat."
This is the real foundation for the long-term success of Asia Daily!
After setting off such a huge fireball with scandals and secrets on the front page, he could still... so calmly drop this real nuclear bomb - this "A Step into the Past"!
“Who would have thought?
Who dares to think?
Rather than getting caught up in a bloody battle with other newspapers over simply breaking news, he stepped out of the fray.
Like Jin Yong in the past, he has opened up a brand new strategic territory that belongs exclusively to him in the field of supplements, which has traditionally been regarded as "adjustments and embellishments"!
In a quiet, almost eerie, yet irresistible way, it steadily and firmly absorbed, precipitated, and converted all the 'traffic' attracted by the first two moves into loyal 'users'!"
MacLehose's tone was filled with unprecedented excitement: "'As long as A Step into the Past is serialized, readers will have to buy his newspaper every day to read it!' This was Jin Yong's secret to building readers' long-term reading habits!
Now it has been learned by Xiaolin Tianwang, which reminds me of the Gusu Murong Fu in "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" written by Jin Yong, who used the same method to repay the other party.
The resumed publication of the serialized "A Step into the Past" is not just a supplement, Delaney, it is a never-ending source made of gold!
An exclusive masterpiece with extremely addictive content!
It can completely transform the massive and impetuous attention attracted by the first two axes into rigid demands of loyalty, dependence and continuous purchases!
