Chapter 398: Opening up the comics section



If Xu Nanxing now intends to vigorously develop this industry, won’t he be able to unearth more outstanding talents in the relevant field?

After all, in Xu Nanxing's view, the period of Hong Kong's most rapid economic development was the 1980s and 1990s. There are at least ten to twenty years left before this period, and this is the time when Hong Kong is accumulating strength and making great progress!

In fact, many comic works appeared in Hong Kong during this era. The more well-known one is "Old Master Q", followed by "Feng Yun", "Chinese Hero", and "McDull" which is loved by children.

In particular, the clip "Do you have fish ball noodles" from "McDull" was extremely popular on the short video platform for a while, making the image of this silly and cute little pig deeply rooted in people's hearts.

So Hong Kong still has good comic works, but it did not seize the opportunity to develop this industry. In the end, it watched helplessly as Japanese comics became popular all over the world, suppressing the comics of other countries and regions. This is really a pity.

Xu Nanxing planned to expand the comics department. Of course, he initially planned to serialize it in the "Fanxing Daily". After the audience response was good, he would bind it into books and sell it.

This was the era of paper books, which was the best period for the development of comics. If it were later when computers and mobile phones became popular, paper books would be on the decline, and a large number of publishing houses would go bankrupt, and the remaining ones would barely survive.

So now is the right time to develop comics.

Xu Nanxing first published advertisements for his signature cartoonist in various newspapers.

Yes, it was published in all the newspapers.

After all, our newspaper, which is not even a month old, has too few readers, so it would be more effective if we place the advertisement in all newspapers.

In addition to posting recruitment advertisements, Xu Nanxing also asked Fu Yaozu to go to places where illegal immigrants gathered to recruit people.

To be honest, there are actually many hidden talents among those who have smuggled in from the mainland, including veteran Chinese medicine practitioners, professors and scholars, descendants of wealthy families, veterans, and other people with certain abilities.

Many of these people are able to rely on their own talents and gradually gain a foothold in Hong Kong over time.

Of course, Xu Nanxing wants to recruit them now before they have just arrived in Hong Kong and have not yet found a way to gain a foothold!

She handed the matter over to Fu Yaozu.

After all, Fu Yaozu also smuggled in recently, so he is quite familiar with this kind of people. With acquaintances, it will definitely be easier to find out information.

This is also the first test Xu Nanxing gives to Fu Yaozu.

A test to see who you are!

There is a saying in the investment world that "investment projects are actually investors."

No matter how promising this project is, if the people who execute it are not good enough, then the project will definitely fail!

Therefore, judging whether a person’s vision is accurate is the most important step in investing!

This is a test for Fu Yaozu!

Xu Nanxing's original words were: "There are so many people sneaking into Hong Kong from the mainland every day. Among these people, there are all kinds of people, and there must be some hidden talents. We are in great need of manpower now. If we can recruit useful people from among them to help us, we can have better development!

You should first ask around and compile a list. If you can be recruited, that would be great. If not, then make friends with them; you might end up interacting with them in the future."

Therefore, Fu Yaozu's first step was to get a general understanding of the personnel structure and general situation of these people who had just smuggled into Hong Kong, so that the boss could recruit people from them.

Fu Yaozu understood that the boss must have a deep background to be able to pay 500,000 Hong Kong dollars in one go to buy his heirloom without hesitation, but the boss just didn't reveal a single detail to the outside world.

Now that the boss wants to collect information about these stowaways, he must be planning to make a big move. So he can no longer be timid. He must get this done and let the boss see his value.

Maybe this information can help him.

When talking about gathering places for illegal immigrants, we have to mention the famous Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong.

Kowloon Walled City is a no-man's land between the Hong Kong government, Britain and the mainland. When the cession treaty was signed, it was stated that this piece of land located in Hong Kong still belonged to China. However, the mainland government did not want to go deep into this area to disturb it or be regarded as a provocation, so it gradually became an anarchic den of thieves.

Most of the people who have smuggled in from the mainland choose to gather here, and those who have committed crimes in Hong Kong will also flee here and settle down. Because there is no law and order here, drug trafficking, smuggling, murder, and robbery are natural and unpredictable.

It is dirty and messy here, with a dense population and more people than houses.

This area of ​​only 26,700 square meters accommodated a population of 50,000 at its peak, with a population density of 1.9 million people per square kilometer, making it the most densely populated place in the world.

The illegal expansion and unauthorized construction here are alarmingly serious. The streets are as narrow as corridors, and the distance between houses is so close that you can hear the breathing of the neighbors next door.

Many houses don't even have windows, like dark coffins. And those houses that are lucky enough to have windows cannot enjoy the sunshine because the surrounding high-rise buildings and houses are so densely packed that sunlight becomes an extremely luxurious here.

When Fu Yaozu first smuggled into Hong Kong, he heard about this place from his companions. Most smugglers would choose to settle here first, after all, the rent here is cheap and the cost of living is low.

But Fu Yaozu didn't dare to do so, because the security here was too bad. He was carrying two heirlooms with him and was afraid of any mishap.
