Liu Shengxing now has the decisive and efficient demeanor of an editor-in-chief.
When he saw Lin Yifeng arrive, he gestured for the group to go back and rewrite the manuscript.
After Lin Yifeng sat down at the table, he also looked through the report they had written.
It would have been better if he hadn't looked, because once he did, Lin Yifeng was startled.
The titles of the manuscripts submitted by the group alone impressed Lin Yifeng.
The emergence of Pang Donglai is driven by capital!
A quick glance at the article reveals that it's entirely critical of Pang Donglai's market-disrupting behavior.
The label of "capitalist" that was slapped on Lin Yifeng, in particular, put him under tremendous pressure.
These days, being labeled a capitalist is no laughing matter.
At best, the entire company's reputation will collapse from top to bottom; at worst, the entire company will go bankrupt.
"What made you decide to write this?"
Lin Yifeng frowned.
Liu Shengxing took a drag of his cigarette, looking troubled.
"Don't even mention it, we took over Shuiyun Town the week before last."
"These newcomers, I don't know what they're supposed to do all day, they're just thinking about making big news."
What big news is there?
Liu Shengxing took two more deep drags, stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray full of cigarette butts, and continued to complain.
"Being down-to-earth and focusing on people's livelihood is the mission of our newspaper."
"These guys are all going to be fired tomorrow."
"What the hell is this? It's all of these."
Lin Yifeng smiled but didn't say anything more.
Media control isn't as strict as it will be in the future.
For the sake of news, those newspaper people can fabricate anything.
At worst, they might get fined by the market regulators, but the sales generated by the hype are pure cash. They'll do anything for money.
That's why newspapers with such a conscience as Liu Shengxing's face the predicament of going bankrupt.
Liu Shengxing himself understood this.
Without Lin Yifeng's investment, their newspaper wouldn't be where it is today.
He sat at the table, getting angrier and angrier, and got up to walk over to a few seats in the corner.
A short while later, the people who had written the article picked up their bags and left the newspaper office, cursing and swearing. It was clear that Liu Shengxing had fired them on the spot.
Many newspaper employees around also breathed a sigh of relief.
It's clear that these new additions have significantly impacted the team's atmosphere.
When he returned to the table, Liu Shengxing continued to curse.
"Fuck you, get lost!"
"Get the hell out of here!"
"Who the hell wants them? We don't take people like that."
Lin Yifeng couldn't help but laugh when he saw Liu Shengxing so angry that he was using "family tree" as a punctuation mark.
But it was precisely Liu Shengxing's work ethic that convinced Lin Yifeng that this guy was definitely the right person to manage the newspaper.
At least when the crackdown begins in the future, Minsheng Daily will definitely not be a target; it might even benefit from his success.
After a brief chat, Liu Shengxing suddenly stared nervously at Lin Yifeng.
"By the way, boss."
“Those bastards from the Chongqing Daily came looking for me a few days ago.”
"They said they wanted me fired from the newspaper, boss, do you know that?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yifeng remained expressionless, merely nodding slightly.
Lin Yifeng actually knew about this.
Guo Fengsheng told him over the phone.
The price quoted by the Chongqing Daily was also quite high, boasting a price of one million.
If Lin Yifeng is willing to transfer the newspaper to them, Shancheng Daily is willing to pay 1 million yuan in cash to buy all ownership of Minsheng Daily.
Lin Yifeng was still a bit shocked by the price.
When we bought the Minsheng Daily, it cost less than one-fifth of this price.
Now, a month has passed, and the newspaper's prices have increased fivefold.
If Lam Yat-fung were to sell the newspaper now, he could earn at least 800,000.
Clearly, Liu Shengxing was aware of the price as well. His face was filled with worry as he stared intently at Lin Yifeng, awaiting his response.
Lin Yifeng saw through Liu Shengxing's idea and deliberately raised his voice a little inside the room.
"Don't worry, Lao Liu."
"I bought the newspaper, not to sell it."
"A mere million won't be enough to hurt me."
"If they offer ten million, I might consider it."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room couldn't help but shudder.
Even Liu Shengxing was stunned.
When Lin Yifeng casually mentioned the astronomical figure of one million, Liu Shengxing felt as if he had heard something unbelievable.
Looking at Lin Yifeng's confident smile, his years of experience told him that Lin Yifeng was not lying to him.
Upon hearing this news, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Yifeng didn't care how much money the other party offered.
The newspaper's reputation in Sanyo City and Makino City has now become his most powerful weapon in terms of public opinion.
Leaving aside the issue of value, its impact alone is difficult to quantify in monetary terms.
Lin Yifeng was well aware of the actions of the Mountain City Daily.
The Mountain City Daily has been completely crushed by them. They don't know that the People's Voice Daily is valuable; they know that it is about to die.
If this continues, within six months, the Minsheng Daily will definitely dominate the largest market share among newspapers in both cities.
If this trend continues, the People's Voice Daily may be transformed into a provincial newspaper within a year.
Would Lin Yifeng really do something like selling the newspaper to make money when there's such a great market opportunity?
