Mixed in 1980

Chapter 156

Chen Fan tapped the table lightly as he thought. There was nothing wrong with the plan Qiu Wenxin came up with, and he couldn't overturn the plan just because he was unsure.

This plan would not necessarily fail. The reason why Chen Fan felt unsure was because he did not understand Hong Kong in the 80s.

I don’t know how people of this era and this region accept that period of history.

After thinking for a while, Chen Fan said, "The plan is very good, and there is generally no problem, but based on this plan, we can do something more fancy."

Looking across the conference room, Chen Fan asked, "If a movie is released now and the authorities want to ban it, will you watch it?"

There is a saying that the more you ban something, the more popular it becomes!

There are many such cases in the film market, such as Zhang Yimou's "Ju Dou" and Xie Jin's "Furong Town", as well as Western films such as "A Good Holiday" and "Paths of Glory".

To the extent that, at some point, many movies that had clearly passed the censorship had to be advertised as being banned in order to increase attention and arouse the curiosity of the audience.

The same is true for the book market.

Whether in the past or in the future, there have been many banned books, but the more they are banned, the more curious the readers become, and the stronger their rebellious psychology becomes, and they will insist on reading even if they are not allowed to.

Even "Dream of the Red Chamber" was banned during the Qing Dynasty, but the more it was banned, the more curious people became, and the more widely it spread.

A planner raised his hand and said, "Boss, I understand what you mean, but here in Hong Kong, the book review is very lenient, and anything that touches the borderline can be published. If you want to ban a book, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do so."

"In such a relaxed environment, there are still books that are banned. Will readers be more curious about what kind of content is likely to be banned?"

Chen Fan's words quieted the meeting room.

This is indeed the truth. If it is banned even though it is so lenient, this book must contain extraordinary content, or in other words, very stimulating content.

"The key issue now is to make readers believe that this book is banned, which means to connect it with reality and create a point of belief."

Chen Fan asked someone to push a small blackboard in and wrote two words directly on it.

England! Hong Kong!
He also wrote the word Thatcher under England: "Is everyone familiar with this old lady? Do you know what she has been doing recently?"

Chen Fan wrote two more words below, Thatcher's idea, and privatization: "You watch the news, right? Are the British devils doing this?"

"If you want to promote privatization, you need money. Only when the market has money can it take over state-owned enterprises. But the British devils are facing severe inflation now. Where can they get the money?"

"To put it bluntly, the middle class in England now use newspapers to go to the toilet. Even if you throw them into a frying pan, you won't get much oil out of them."

"If you want to make money, there's only one place!"

Chen Fan connected privatization and Hong Kong with an arrow, and wrote two words in the middle of the arrow: bloodsucking!

"Besides Hong Kong, where else do you think the British can get money from? If Thatcher wants to carry on, she must suck blood from Hong Kong, the blood of the Hong Kong people."

Chen Fan's words stunned everyone in the office. They were just ordinary people, who would pay attention to these things? Even if they paid attention, they would not think of these.

Looking back afterwards, it's okay to talk about it in hindsight.

"Which sector do you think the British devils will suck blood from in Hong Kong?"

"Property market!" Li Hongying had a cold face and couldn't help shivering even in the middle of summer.

Hong Kong's property market is too abnormal, especially in the past two years, prices have been skyrocketing. Take the Federal Building and the International Building as examples. They were sold twice between August 1980 and January 8, and the selling price increased from 1981 billion yuan to 1 billion yuan.

In less than half a year, the price doubled.

But only half a year has passed, and houses in Hong Kong have become difficult to sell. It is a typical case of having a high price but no one is willing to buy.

But the Li family has invested a lot of money in the real estate market. Once the real estate market collapses, the Li family will definitely suffer huge losses, and may even lose half of their fortune.

"Sister Ying, have you invested money in the property market?"

"Let's talk about it after the meeting." Li Hongying clenched her fists, trying to suppress her inner irritation.

Inflation in Britain is indeed very serious, and privatization is indeed being carried out. As Chen Fan said, if they want to push forward privatization, they can only suck blood from Hong Kong.

Only wealthy Hong Kong has enough funds to help Britain recover.

Then the property market will be in danger!

Chen Fan nodded gently: "Just as Mr. Li said, it's the property market. Everyone knows how much the Hong Kong property market has risen in recent years."

"Who made the money behind the property market boom? Undoubtedly, it was British capital, and what awaits the Hong Kong property market is bound to be a sharp drop and collapse."

"After the collapse of the property market, what is the way out for Hong Kong? This is the point I want to make. Where is the way out? Hong Kong people need to find a way out."

"What is the book "Awakening Age" about? A group of people who have awakened and are looking for a way out for China. Can everyone understand it?"

The previous planner raised his hand again: "Mr. Chen, what you mean is that the British want to suck blood from Hong Kong, but are afraid that the Hong Kong people will wake up and find a way out, and "The Awakening Age" can wake up the Hong Kong people, so the British want to ban this book?"

Chen Fan slammed the table and said, "Right, that's the logic. So the entire propaganda plan should revolve around Thatcherism, British privatization, and the Hong Kong property market, and then lead to the book "Awakening Age". These four points must be combined."

"Today's meeting ends here. Everyone go back and think about it and come up with a specific promotion plan. We will meet again next Monday to discuss it."

Chen Fan sent everyone out, leaving only Li Hongying, Xu Jinqiu, Zeng Ali and Zhao Yuanyuan in the conference room, all of whom were close friends. "Xiao Fan, when do you think the Hong Kong property market will collapse?" Li Hongying clenched her fists, her teeth chattering.

"next year!"

"There is still some time, so it should be in time to make a deal. Xiaofan, can the promotion and release time of 'Awakening Age' be postponed? I need time to sell the property." Li Hongying pleaded.

According to Chen Fan's publicity and promotion ideas, the real estate market must be used as a starting point. If things go wrong, it will trigger a chain reaction and cause the real estate market to collapse prematurely.

Chen Fan naturally would not object. The later release of "Awakening Age" would not have much impact, but for Li Hongying and the Li family, this was a life-saving time.

Li Hongying thanked him and left in a hurry. The first thing she had to do was to investigate the whereabouts of the real estate funds. Only with sufficient evidence could she convince her family to sell the property.

"How come you think of so much?"

Zeng Ali looked at Chen Fan strangely. Most of the time, this man was shrouded in a layer of mystery. Just as he said, he was like a grocery store that knew a little bit about everything.

But just some understanding?

Being able to connect information about Britain with Hong Kong is something that not everyone can do.

There is also his book "Chen Fan Sees the World", which is a real look at the world, and his knowledge covers countless countries.

But he has never been abroad!

This is the most difficult part to understand.

"If you think about it, you will find it."

Chen Fan responded casually. He couldn't tell him that he had lived two lives and experienced the era of information explosion.

I'm afraid I'll be considered a psychopath.

If something cannot be explained clearly, it is better not to explain it.

Zeng A Li could only roll her eyes. Chen Fan even argued with her: "No wonder you don't have a partner. Seeing such a good plan, you can't provide any emotional value except for the fact. Qiu Er, show me one."

Xu Jinqiu kissed Chen Fan on the face: "Every time I see the way you solve problems, I think you are amazing. It seems that no difficulty can stop you. In the field you are good at, you are simply an expert."

Zeng Ali's face turned black. This couple is so damn disgusting.

Chen Fan raised his eyebrows and said, "Yuanyuan, show it to me too."

Zhao Yuanyuan hehe!
"I'll give you a bonus later."

Zhao Yuanyuan nodded: "Brother, in your field, you are simply a genius. You are not only my pride, but also my role model!"

Zeng Ali gritted his teeth, feeling like he was being stabbed in the back by the whole world, and slammed the table: "I'm taking a leave and going home. Bye!"

"Let's get off work early today and go back." Chen Fan smiled and followed.

Xu Jinqiu and Zhao Yuanyuan walked faster and caught up with Zeng A'li, holding her arms on both sides, turning into flatterers and coaxing her into submission in no time.

However, he still didn't look happy towards Chen Fan.

When they got home, Zeng Ali didn't cook. She even pulled Xu Jinqiu and stopped her from going to the kitchen. Her meaning was obvious: Chen Fan had to cook the meal, otherwise she would not be able to get over it.

She had never seen such a bastard thing.

So irritating!
When I was pursuing Xu Jinqiu before, I thought that he had many tricks to pursue girls, but I didn’t expect that he had just as many irritating tricks, and he could use them in many different ways.

Chen Fan smiled and had no choice but to cook.

After cooking a table full of delicious dishes, he brought out the wine: "Tomorrow is the weekend, and you don't have to go to work. Let's drink and relax today."

Zeng Ali hummed and glared at Xu Jinqiu and Zhao Yuanyuan. His meaning was very clear: you two have to stand on the same line with me: "Then drink some!"

There is no one in this room who can hold his liquor well.

Even if you drink beer in the summer, you can't drink much. After four bottles of beer, Zhao Yuanyuan fell down first and was carried back to the room by Zeng Ali and Xu Jinqiu.

Chen Fan suggested that we leave it at that for today.

Zeng Ali and Xu Jinqiu also drank four bottles each, their faces flushed. As for Chen Fan himself, he drank six bottles together and felt a little drunk.

"One of us must fall today!"

Zeng Ali refused outright, poured a glass of wine, and clinked glasses with Chen Fan. She felt that she would not be able to swallow the anger she had today unless she got Chen Fan drunk.

He was in a daze and didn't know whether Chen Fan fell down first or he fell down first. When he woke up again, Zeng Ali felt a little confused.

Where am I?
It seemed like he was in someone's arms, with someone's arm under his head and a hand covering his chest.

Zeng Ali shuddered and woke up instantly. She suppressed her shyness and dared not make any sound. She wanted to get up quietly, but was held even tighter.

PS: The second update is here, I will take down Zeng Ali, do you guys have votes?
