This guy Lin Xingzhi is a well-known financial reporter in Hong Kong Island. He used to work in Ming Pao. That is to say, this guy Lao Lin once hung out with Mr. Jin Yong for a while. Later, that is to say, there was some conflict between his style of doing things and that of the Minbao. In the Evening News, he was considered the deputy editor-in-chief, just one step away from being the editor-in-chief. kind of. This old gentleman is the kind of person who has a single-minded mind. There's a bit of leopard-headed Lin Chong's character that doesn't know how to compromise until the end.
If you say that you have managed to become the deputy editor-in-chief of Ming Pao, you are already considered a fairly high-status job worker in the newspaper industry. If you work for two more years, you might not be able to become an evening newspaper. There is absolutely no problem with being the editor-in-chief or something like that, but later on, I had a little dispute with Mr. Jin Yong because of the style of running the newspaper, so I simply gave up my job and gathered a group of people to start a newspaper of my own called Letter.
Although the Economic Times does not have the influence of Ming Pao, it is still a well-known professional-level newspaper in Hong Kong Island. Lao Lin's original name was Lin Shanmu, and Xing Zhi was Lao Lin's pen name. Of course, when writing, it is normal to have several pen names, including Mr. Jin Yong who writes novels. Who doesn’t have a few pen names? If you don’t have a few pen names and a few vests, you will be embarrassed to tell the outside world about you. Is a writer.
How stubborn is this guy Lao Lin? That is to say, he initially admired Western capitalism and thought that Western capitalism was very good.
But later on when I got older and saw more people, I suddenly found that the Bolsheviks were quite interesting, especially the Bolsheviks with Chinese characteristics. Good form, so he converted to the Bolsheviks again.
So if this old gentleman is not stubborn, he might not be able to compete with Ming Pao based on his writing style and his business ability.
But as for this old man, he does have his own style of doing things. If you have the ability, you have the ability. Whether it is the writing style or the business ability, it is indeed OK, but the one-mindedness is not enough. Not very suitable for doing business or not suitable for growing the business.
Think about it, good guy, your idea of running a newspaper is at odds with your boss, so you just want to give up and go it alone. How is that possible? If you take someone else's salary and don't want to do things according to their wishes, your boss will definitely not tolerate you. Later, Lao Lin led a group of clerks to run the newspaper on his own. But speaking of Lao Lin, he is not very lucky. It is not easy to run a newspaper.
After all, it is already the 1980s. Although it is not particularly difficult to run a newspaper here, it does not mean that just anyone can do it.
Although Jin Yong started a people's newspaper with 70,000 yuan, that was decades ago. It is not particularly easy to run a newspaper now, and Lao Lin himself didn't have much at the beginning. money.
Even if he had some connections when he was the deputy editor-in-chief, you can’t do anything without money.However, Hong Kong Island is a capitalist society and it is almost impossible to make a living without money. Later, for some reason, he found Lide TV through connections.
The former boss of Lide TV here just felt that a newspaper should be given to the TV station as a platform for what happened.
Because in Hong Kong Island, there are actually a lot of people reading newspapers, because not everyone will have a TV set. Don’t think that Hiroshima is a capitalist society, but TV sets are sold There are a lot of them, but poor families can't afford them, and there are also TV sets.
Especially those working in a hurry who don’t like to watch TV, so in the 1980s and 1990s there was quite a market for newspapers on Hong Kong Island.
The boss of Li’s TV Station thought that since our TV station has TV programs, it would be quite interesting to set up a newspaper to supplement some of the channels for the TV station to speak out.
So it happened that Lao Lin, at this time, led a group of people and reached an agreement with Lide TV for some reason, so he founded the Hong Kong Economic Journal in 1973. Unfortunately, Well, to be honest, this newspaper is not particularly marketable here.
In addition, there are many members of the Hong Kong Economic and Daily News, who were recruited from Ming Pao Evening News, so it is normal for Ming Pao to suppress them. Ming Pao is a very famous newspaper in Hong Kong Island. newspaper.
Later in the 1990s, Mr. Jin Yong was worth more than one billion and ranked among the 60 richest people in Hong Kong Island.
You can see how big a newspaper Ming Pao is on Hong Kong Island. In the newspaper industry, it can be said that Lao Lin was judged by Ming Pao and betrayed Ming Pao. Therefore, in such a situation, it is very normal for Ming Pao to suppress the Hong Kong Economic Journal.
A similar situation is that Shao Liushu of TVB suppressed Zou Wenhuai.
Actually, this is a very normal thing. This is industry competition. Although Mr. Jin Yong said in an interview that he had never said that he suppressed the Hong Kong Economic and Trade News, in fact, this kind of statement is unheard of. Just listen, everyone knows whether there is suppression or not.
As for this, there is no need to say anything, just say it directly.
So because of Ming Pao’s suppression, it can be said that the Xin Bao is struggling under this situation. The market conditions were not very good at the beginning anyway, and Lao Lin is also stubborn, so the Xin Pao It is very normal to report a loss at the beginning.
Fortunately, there is also the support of Lide TV Station behind the scenes. Although it is losing money, it is still able to survive because of the support and care of the TV station.
To be honest, Lao Lin is indeed good at writing about finance and economics, and he has some fans. Although the Hong Kong Economic Journal has been losing money for many years, the losses are not big. It can be said that it is within the tolerance of the TV station. , but after all, the TV station is a company and is concerned about profits. If you are always losing money at this time, who can stand this thing?
So yourAfter the previous boss of the TV station left, the Hong Kong Economic Journal was somewhat unpopular with the TV station.
Originally, although the newspaper run by the boss of this TV station suffered losses, the boss couldn’t help but take care of it for the sake of face. But the boss left and a new boss was replaced. In this case, the Economic Times basically became Said he lost his supporter.
So it is very normal to be suppressed by the TV station. Now the TV station likes the fact that he can directly exchange the favor with He Yuzhu for the share of the earth's favor. To the TV station, it seems that the Economic Times is a burden.
Throwing it directly to He Yuzhu is equivalent to saying that throwing away the burden is a happy outcome for everyone, except for Lao Lin, basically this transaction is a happy outcome for everyone.
After hearing this, Lao Lin was very puzzled, or very depressed. So is the financial commentary I write bad?
It is still very popular.
Why abandon me?
At this time, Lao Lin may not know why the TV station abandoned him and transferred the newspaper to He Yuzhu. But there is no way. After all, the TV station behind the Hong Kong Economic and Daily News has been transferred, so at this time, the Hong Kong Economic and Daily News will directly belong to He Yuzhu.
Unless Lao Lin wants to recruit a group of people to start a new business on his own, but Lao Lin is now quite young and has a family with children. He is the kind of person who has a family and a career. If he was asked to drag out a group of people to work alone if he had someone he cared about, he wouldn't have the courage and passion to do it now.
But no matter what, Lao Lin was still very puzzled at this time. , is the kind of person who has a family and a career to worry about. If he were asked to drag out a group of people to work alone, he would not have such courage and enthusiasm now.
This loss is within the tolerable range. It is impossible to say that our newspaper will be transferred to others because of this.
Anyway, He Yuzhu came to visit, so since he is the big boss, Lao Lin can't pretend that nothing happened. After all, he is his newspaper now.
So in the office, some handovers were made under the witness of people from Lide TV Station. At this time, the Hong Kong Economic Journal was owned by He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu looked at Lao Lin and said straightforwardly: "Old Lin, have you ever thought about why your newspaper has been losing money year after year?
This point As an editor-in-chief, you should think about it yourself. If your newspaper loses money every year or two, this is within the tolerable range.
But look at the losses of your newspaper. How long has it been? From half a pill to now, you have been profitable for less than three years. You have been profitable for a little more than two years. As a result, the rest of the time has been a loss. Although the loss is not particularly large, it is undeniable that it is always a loss. Right?
If there is no subsidy from the TV station, I believe youOur newspaper office cannot survive. "Recent transcoding has been serious, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Please use your little hands to exit the reading mode. Thank you
