Chapter 248 Self-made (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

  "True Paper" already has a group of loyal readers belonging to them.

   Among the loyal readers of "Zhenbao", they are divided into two categories. The first category is readers who pay attention to financial news, and the second category is readers who pay attention to entertainment news.

   In terms of finance, Gu Chengxi invited experts from the Department of Economics of the University of Hong Kong to analyze the current financial situation of Hong Kong and report on various industries. These are actually Gu Chengxi's own abilities.

  In terms of entertainment, Li Xiaolong's interview made a good start for "Zhenbao", followed by the interviews with black and white video artists, which also attracted many readers.

  The readers who pay attention to these two aspects can be people from all walks of life, and there are even many intersections.

  As the morning came, many people came to the newsstand and bought a copy of "True Daily".

   "Strange, when did "True News" publish comics?"

  When some people saw the contents of the "Zhenbao" supplement, they all showed suspicious expressions.

  It turned out that the front page of the supplement of "Zhenbao" turned out to be a cartoon like a four-frame picture.

  The first one, the content of the manga, is a rich and luxurious woman with various luxury bags at her feet, and beside the woman, there is a well-mannered man.

  The two still have a conversation.

  Woman: Let's break up!

   Man: Why?

  Woman: We are not suitable!

  When it came to the second picture, the content in the manga was reversed, and it was still the woman, but at this time she no longer had the luxurious clothes on her body, and she looked a little embarrassed, and naturally there was the man.

  The image of the man is a little different, there is a Rolls Royce parked beside the man!

  Woman: So you are rich, so you broke up with me!

   Man: I'm the money that came after we broke up!

   Woman: I don't listen, I don't listen!

  The third picture, this time there is no image of a man in the cartoon, only a woman, a woman sitting at a press conference, surrounded by media reporters.

  Woman: I was abandoned by Chu Jiahu, Chu Jiahu is a scumbag, let's resist him together!

   In the fourth picture, the woman is sitting at the desk in her home, writing something. Beside her, the man has become a ghost state.

   Woman: I want to write about you, I want to write about you!

  Ghost Man: I really got the money after breaking up with you!

   Woman: My name is Dongfang Ri, so I don’t listen, I don’t listen!

  A simple four-frame cartoon, but after seeing it, all the readers of "True Pao" showed knowing smiles, and some even couldn't help laughing out loud.

   "I'm convinced. How did this Chu Huan's head open up to come up with such an idea? I'm afraid the Oriental Daily will be deflated this time!"

  Everyone understood that this was Chu Huan's counterattack against "Oriental Daily", and it was a standard Chu Huan counterattack.

   "This is the counterattack that Chu Huan should have. It makes me happy to see it!"

   These people thought of Chu Huan's performance when he fought back against Huang Yulang.

   "Oriental Daily" editor-in-chief's office!

  The editor-in-chief Hu Zixiong sat there with a gloomy face, his chest undulating slightly, and his thin figure did not have much deterrent effect under such circumstances.

  But it is certain that he is very angry at this time.

  Because in front of Hu Zixiong, there is a piece of "True News", and the place where it is spread is exactly where the four-frame comic is.

   "Chu Huan!"

  Finally, Hu Zixiong gritted his teeth and said Chu Huan's name.

   "Editor-in-Chief, what should we do now?"

   Hu Zixiong's secretary Su Fen asked in a low voice.

In the current situation, even Su Fen can see that Chu Huan has completely resorted to the routine of the previous verbal fight with Huang Yulang again. He didn't respond directly to you at all, but responded to your attack in an unimaginable way. .

  However, the way Chu Huan responded was very eye-catching, and he was very happy to hear it.

  No one can refuse Chu Huan's way.

  As a journalist, Su Fen also understands that Chu Huan has achieved the goal in her heart in this way, which is to successfully make her reputation among the general public has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Especially today, Chu Huan's response to "Oriental Daily" has directly shaped "Oriental Daily" into an image of a scumbag who is greedy for vanity. Regardless of whether "Oriental Daily" itself has such an image, Chu Huan has already It is defined as this image in the comics.

  In this case, those readers, those people in Xiangjiang, also preconceived this matter in the first place.

   This is the same as when the three major newspapers reported that Chu Huan detonated the stock market crash for the first time. Regardless of whether Chu Huan is or not, anyway, we defined it in advance, so many people will think it is!

  An image of a scumbag who is greedy for vanity will not be liked by people, and naturally the "Oriental Daily" will not be liked by people!

  Chu Huan just used a four-frame comic, which was enough to change Chu Huan's image in the hearts of the people in Xiangjiang, and incidentally hacked the "Oriental Daily"!

   "Doesn't he like to sue people? Now we will sue him immediately and sue him for defamation!" Hu Zixiong shouted.

  Su Fen said in a low voice: "Well, we have no way to sue him. In the comics, Chu Huan did not name the woman in the comics and said that the woman in the comics is our "Dongfang Daily". There is no way to sue him!"

   Bang bang bang!

  Hu Zixiong knocked on the "Zhenbao" on the desktop, and said loudly: "He already said it was called Dongfang Day, didn't he mean us?"

  Su Fen could only continue to whisper: "Dongfang Daily is not Dongfang Daily? And if we sue Chu Huan, wouldn't it be just for everyone to read this newspaper? Do you know about it?"

  Hu Zixiong sat there gasping for breath, "Can we just watch Chu Huan slander our "Dongfang Daily"?"

  Su Fen didn't answer this time, because she didn't know how to fight back against someone like Chu Huan who didn't follow the routine.

  You said that if they also fight back against Chu Huan in the same way as Chu Huan, Chu Huan has the entire "Fantasy Comics" behind him, what do they have?

   But if they continue to fight back in the normal way, there is no guarantee that Chu Huan will give some kind of cartoon counterattack later, maybe their "Oriental Daily" will really become the second Huang Yulang in a short time.

  Hu Zixiong obviously thought of this too, "Dig the material, dig it hard for me, if I want to count Chu Huan, I must count Chu Huan!"

  What can Su Fen say, she can only nod her head and send someone to do it immediately.

  Hu Zixiong felt a little relieved.

  Looking at Su Fen who hadn't left yet, she asked, "Why are you still here?"

  Su Fen glanced at Hu Zixiong with some concern, and reminded: "Well, you are going to see a lawyer today, the necessary procedures before the trial, and see if there is any possibility of reconciliation between the two parties!"

The matter of Chu Huan suing the three major newspapers is not just a matter of talking, but the whole prosecution process takes a long time. Even according to the law of Xiangjiang, according to the case between Chu Huan and the three major newspapers, it is necessary to Before the trial, the plaintiff and the defendant have a mediation process, which is to see if the two parties can resolve this matter in private, so as not to waste public resources!

  Hu Zixiong suddenly felt his blood pressure go up, "Mediate? Mediation is a fart, we have settled this lawsuit with Chu Huan!"

  Seeing Hu Zixiong's attitude, Su Fen didn't say anything, reminded Hu Zixiong of the time for mediation, and left Hu Zixiong's office.

   North Point Sing Tao Building!

  Hu Xian naturally also saw the content of "True Pao".

At the same time, Situ Yi, the editor-in-chief of "Sing Tao Daily" is sitting opposite Hu Xian, and said with a complicated expression: "Fortunately, "Oriental Daily" and Chu Huan are on the same page. Know how to deal with Chu Huan's routine!"

  Hu Xian leaned on the sofa, but asked curiously: "What is the relationship between Gu Chengxi of "True Pao" and Chu Huan? Now "True Pao" is almost becoming the official spokesperson of Chu Huan!"

Situ Yi knew a little about Gu Chengxi when the time came, and said, "This Gu Chengxi, who used to be a reporter from "Cheng Bao", had already interviewed Chu Huan when Chu Huan was driven out of the Chu family. , and interviewed Chu Huan many times, the two parties should have had a good relationship at that time."

  Hu Xian nodded slightly, and continued to ask: "Then how much do you know about Gu Chengxi's personal background?"

  Situ Yi thought for a while and said, "I really haven't paid much attention to this!"

   Then Situ Yi asked Hu Xian curiously: "President, is there something wrong?"

  Hu Xian asked with a smile: "I still know something about the predecessor of "True Pao". If the person who bought "True Pao" was Gu Chengxi, then where did this Gu Chengxi get so much money from?

  If it was acquired by someone else, why would the other party trust Gu Chengxi so much to directly mention a not-so-well-known reporter to the position of editor-in-chief? "

  Situ Yi is also a very smart person. After hearing Hu Xian's words, he immediately understood what the other party meant.

   "President, do you mean that the boss behind "True Pao" is Chu Huan?"

  Hu Xian said with a complicated expression: "I just think so, but whether it is specific is still to be investigated!"

  Situ Yi said in amazement: "If the boss behind the "True News" is really Chu Huan, then the game Chu Huan played this time is too big!"

  Hu Xian asked: "By the way, what do you think of this lawsuit between us and Chu Huan?"

Situ Yi said with some embarrassment: "Actually, it's not easy to fight. Chu Huan's lawyer team is too luxurious, and thinking about this matter now, we were indeed a little too anxious at the beginning. Anyway, the detonation of the stock market crash is a big deal. This matter has nothing to do with Chu Huan. I think his legal team will definitely seize this point and attack us desperately.

in addition"

   "What else?" Hu Xian asked.

"In addition, Chu Huan is a bit of a villain. We have seen many businessmen of all kinds in Xiangjiang these years. As the saying goes, shopping malls are like battlefields, and victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs. But in this Chu Huan, since he broke into our field of vision From the beginning, it seems that I have never heard of Chu Huan having any defeats."

   Situ Yi analyzed.

  Hu Xian sighed, and said, "You mean, we must pay Chu Huan ten million this time?"

  Situ Yi didn't reply. Anyway, in his opinion, "Sing Tao Daily"'s winning rate is not very high.

  Hu Xian rubbed the center of her brows, and said: "I see, you can go to your own affairs first!"

  Situ Yi got up and left Hu Xian's office.

Hu Xian was caught in a dilemma at this time. Judging from the current situation, they are likely to lose this lawsuit. If this is the case, they will not only compensate Chu Huan for 10 million mental damages, but also publish in the newspaper Apologize to Chu Huan.

  If he chooses to settle with Chu Huan Ting now, the 10 million mental damage fee may be incurred, but he must still publish an apology in the newspaper.

   In other words, there is a high possibility that "Sing Tao Daily" will publish an apology.

   Of course, if this lawsuit is won, then all worries will be over.

   But can this lawsuit really win?

  At this time, Hu Xian didn't have the confidence.

   Then she looked at the time, and Hu Xian found that it was time for reconciliation outside the hall. Before that, Hu Xian didn't think about going there in person, as long as she asked her secretary to go there.

  Anyway, neither party intends to reconcile outside the hall.

   But now, Hu Xian thought about it and walked out of her office in person.

  The out-of-office settlement was carried out in Luo Decheng's law firm.

   It's just that when Luo Decheng saw Hu Xian coming over in person, he was still a little surprised.

   "Boss Hu, you actually came here in person!"

  Hu Xian said with a smile: "Since it is an out-of-court mediation, the parties should naturally come here!"

  Luo Decheng smiled and said: "So, Ms. Hu is ready to accept out-of-court mediation?"

  Hu Xian said: "Always listen to Chu Huan's conditions."

Luo Decheng said: "That's really embarrassing, A Huan's company still has something to do, and he didn't come over. He means that as long as your newspaper can pay him the mental damage fee and publish an apology in the newspaper, he will withdraw his complaint. The lawsuit of "Sing Tao Daily" is the same for the other two newspapers!"

  Hu Xian asked: "What do people from Oriental Daily and Sing Pao say?"

Luo Decheng said: "The "Oriental Daily" has made it clear that it will not accept Chu Huan's conditions and has decided to go to court with Chu Huan. The "Cheng Bao" side, although it has not clearly stated its position, should not accept it either. Happy conditions!"

Hu Xian nodded slightly, and then said to Luo Decheng with a smile: "Luo Dazhuang, this is not the first time we have dealt with each other, you can tell me the truth about this matter, if our "Sing Tao Daily" is willing to compensate Chu Huan 10 million Hong Kong dollars, but I apologize for not publishing it in the newspaper, what do you think?"

Luo Decheng said helplessly: "Boss Hu, do you think Chu Huan is someone who is short of 10 million? And you and I both know that the importance of this matter is not the 10 million, but your boarding Apologize!"

  Hu Xian was only asking a tentative question. Hearing what Luo Decheng said, she understood the meaning and said, "Okay, I will think about this matter again!"

Luo Decheng reminded: "Although there are still three months before the trial, Boss Hu, if you think about it, you'd better make a decision quickly. I know Chu Huan's character. This person never does things that are uncertain. Most importantly, after this period of fermentation, you and I also understand that the stock market crash cannot be detonated by Chu Huan alone."

  Hu Xian thanked: "I know about this, thank you Luo Dazhuang!"

  In Chu Huan's office in Jiahu Building, a man with a bent over and a sincere attitude came at this time—Ma Shixing from the Distribution Association!

  In fact, Ma Shixing wanted to come to see Chu Huan after what happened at the Yunhai Convenience Store, but Chu Huan didn't meet him immediately!

  By this time, the active persuasion was no longer on Ma Shixing's body.

   "Young Master Huan, what happened before was caused by Huang Yulang, this time we really knew we were wrong!"

  After seeing Chu Huan, Ma Shixing directly and sincerely expressed his mistake.

  Chu Huan put down the pen in his hand, looked at Ma Shixing with a smile, and said, "One Huang Yulang, I don't think it's enough for your distribution association to do something about "Fantasy Comics", right?"

  Although Chu Huan already knew the list of Huang Yulang's "Avengers", since Ma Shixing came to admit his mistake now, Chu Huan naturally needs to know whether Ma Shixing's attitude of admitting his mistake is sincere.

  Ma Shixing's expression changed slightly, but he thought that the energy behind Huang Yulang was too great, so he finally said: "It is indeed Huang Yulang who found us. At that time, we were also obsessed with ghosts. After being bewitched by Huang Yulang, we completely forgot about it."

  Chu Huan pointed to the door of his office impatiently, "It's easy to leave!"

   Ma Shixing's heart suddenly rose with anger. Now that he has been so humbled, Chu Huan is still so arrogant!

   It's just that this anger came and disappeared quickly.

   "Young Master Huan, if you are unhappy in any way, just say so, even if you beat me up, I will have no problem. Please, Young Master Huan, don't argue with us this time!"

  Chu Huan chuckled: "About you? The Distribution Association has cut off the delivery of "Fantasy Comics". If I hadn't contacted Yunhai Chain, you, Boss Ma, are probably already counting money at home, right?"

  Seeing Chu Huan's reply, Ma Shixing hurriedly said: "Young Master Huan is too serious. We just earn some hard money. How can we compare with you, Young Master Huan!"

  Chu Huan shook his head and said, "Okay, you'd better tell the girls on Bolan Street your nonsense, and leave my office now!"

  Can Ma Shixing leave? Nature cannot leave!

The distribution of "Fantasy Comics" is a big business. I have earned this money before, but now it is impossible for Ma Shixing to let it go. Besides, if I solve this matter by myself, Mediterranean Sea and others are afraid. I can no longer allow myself to continue to sit as the president of this distribution association!

  Thinking of this, Ma Shixing could only say helplessly: "Actually, when Huang Yulang came to me, he told me that he was backed by people from the Jardine Keswick family, so I believed his words!"

  Chu Huan nodded in satisfaction. Since he came to admit his mistakes, he should have an attitude of admitting his mistakes. If he was still covering up like before, it would be meaningless.

   "Boss Ma, sit down and chat!"

  Hearing that Chu Huan had changed his attitude, Ma Shixing immediately smiled.

   "Thank you Huan Shao, thank you Huan Shao!"

  Chu Huan waved his hands and said: "Don't thank me first, it is not impossible for me to continue to use your distribution association, but your previous actions have caused me losses, so there must be an explanation for this!"

   Ma Shixing immediately said: "No problem, as long as it can calm you down, you can say whatever you want!"

  Before coming, Ma Shixing was ready to bleed heavily.

  Chu Huan smiled: "To put it bluntly, the root cause of today's situation is actually Huang Yulang's obstruction. Am I right, Boss Ma!"

   Ma Shixing nodded immediately and said: "That's right, it's all because of Huang Yulang's attack on the street. If it weren't for him, how could we have offended you Huan Shao!"

  Chu Huan laughed, and said: "In this case, we have reached a consensus, and the next thing to say will be much easier."

   Ma Shixing had a bad feeling in his heart, "Young Master Huan, what do you mean?"

   "Since Huang Yulang asked you to increase the sales share of our "Fantasy Comics", you are willing to distribute our "Fantasy Comics", so now you should increase the sales share of Yulang Books!"

  Chu Huan preached leisurely.

It turned out to be like this. Ma Shixing originally thought that Chu Huan wanted to let his side bleed heavily and reduce the distribution share, but he didn't expect that now he wanted to use his own way to deal with his own body, so that he could improve "Little Rascal" of sales.

  Huang Yulang, what are you doing to provoke Chu Huan when you say you have nothing to do?

   Are you okay now?

  I know what it means to lift a rock and shoot yourself in the foot!

Although I still think so, at this time Ma Shixing really doesn't want to participate in this matter anymore. They created a cloud sea convenience store for "Fantasy Comics" before. If they target Huang Yulang again now, what if What is it that leads to something else?

"Young Master Huan, you are fighting like gods. We people just want to earn a hard-earned money. After learning this lesson, we really don't have the guts to offend you people anymore. Besides, Huang Yulang has Jardine backing him. "

   "So Boss Ma thinks that I, Chu Huan, are easy to deal with!" The smile on Chu Huan's face disappeared, and he spoke dissatisfiedly.

   "No!" Ma Shixing hurriedly defended: "I really know how ridiculous my previous behavior is, so please forgive us this time!"

  Chu Huan waved his hand and said, "Okay, since Boss Ma doesn't want to do this, then I won't force him, Boss Ma, you should go back!"

   Ma Shixing was speechless, this Chu Huan was really difficult, and if Chu Huan was not satisfied with his answer, he would drive people away.

   How can we talk about this!

   "Then I'll find another time to visit Huan Shao!" Ma Shixing still wants to take another look, to see if he can wait for Chu Huan to calm down, or find some middleman on his side who can make peace for him!

  Chu Huan lowered his head and continued to read the document!

  Ma Shixing left Jiahu Building resentfully!

  When he returned to the tea restaurant, he saw that other members of the distribution association had come here.

  Mediterranean asked Ma Shixing: "How is the negotiation with Chu Huan?"

   Ma Shixing shook his head helplessly and said, "It didn't go well, but don't worry, I will continue to work hard!"

   After finishing speaking, Ma Shixing found that Haidi and the others did not show angry expressions.

   "Everyone, you heard me, I said that Ma Shixing is unreliable!"

  At this time, Mediterranean Sea turned its back to Ma Shixing and preached to other distributors.

   "Mediterranean, what do you mean?" Ma Shixing asked directly.

The Mediterranean turned to face Ma Shixing and said: "What do you mean? It means to tell you that from now on you will no longer be the president of our distribution association. Not only that, but your business will also be given up. From now on, you can no longer set foot in this industry!"

   Ma Shixing was stunned, and then furious: "Mediterranean, do you know what you are talking about?"

  Mediterranean replied directly: "Of course I know, but do you know what you are doing? You were asked to negotiate with Chu Huan, but you are still protecting Huang Yulang and disregarding the interests of our brothers!"

   Ma Shixing immediately said: "When did I protect Huang Yulang? I just don't want what happened at Yunhai Convenience Store to happen again!"

Mediterranean Sea sneered, "That sounds nice, but do you know that before you went to find Chu Huan, those newsstanders in Xiangjiang had already sent representatives to find Chu Huan, expressing that they were willing to bypass us and pick up Chu Huan alone? "Fantasy Comics", if this is the case, do you know what the result will be? The result is that other newspapers will follow suit, and will there still be room for our distribution association to make money in the whole of Xiangjiang?"

   Ma Shixing said: "They dare, they don't even want to get a newspaper without our distribution association!"

"Hehe!" Hai Hai said: "What a big tone, there are so many newsstands in Xiangjiang, we don't care about one or two, now they are united, so can you not care? Or do you want all brothers to Have nothing to eat with you?"

   After all, Ma Shixing miscalculated one thing, that is, everyone is benefiting. Those members of the distribution association had Huang Yulang's compensation before, so there is no loss.

  But those newsstanders are different. They have no one to compensate them. Now that the distribution association has fallen out with "Fantasy Comics" because of their own affairs, they have to bear the losses. This is unacceptable to them.

  So it is naturally impossible for them to sit back and watch this kind of thing happen.

  In fact, Ma Shixing miscalculated one thing, that is, he thought he was the first person to meet Chu Huan's distribution association, but in fact, the first person to see Chu Huan was Mediterranean Sea.

  Although Ma Shixing's people attacked Yunhai Convenience Store and did not hurt Zhu Xiaozhao, Chu Huan would not let him be fine after doing such a thing.

  When he was in Jiahu Building, Chu Huan gave Ma Shixing one last chance, but Ma Shixing didn't grasp it, so now, Ma Shixing naturally lost his position as the president of the distribution association.

   I’ve said it many times before, the distribution association is more like a society. Now that Ma Shixing has lost power, these people are naturally eyeing Ma Shixing’s territory!
