Chapter 407: Broken Hands, Broken Hands, Broken Hands
"In my company, there is a respectful uncle named Li Xiuxian, as well as new-generation leaders like Xu Jiaqiang, and stackers like Xi Mitian who are in contact with all kinds of people."

In the ward.

Zhai Yuan took the apple that Chen Jieyu had peeled, took a bite, and said thank you, sister-in-law, with a smile.

Then he said to Ma Rongcheng: "But they have been trying to find out who did it to you. This matter was kept very secret."

Ma Rongcheng said confidently: "I'll bet my hands that his eldest disciple must be Qi Wenjie."

Zhai Yuan said with interest: "I hope you can expose him and make the rival company fall into negative news, which will be beneficial to my two-spined newt. Do you want me to help you arrange a channel for you to speak out?"

"Mr. Zhai is really straightforward." Ma Rongcheng smiled helplessly and sighed, "It's a pity that there is no evidence. What will happen if I expose it? Instead, people will think that I am being persecuted and delusional."

"So what are you going to do, find someone to chop it back?"

"Oh, I won't do such a stupid thing, like a reckless man fighting and killing people."

Any businessman with a normal mind would not wade into the muddy water of the gang. Only the punks who haven't gotten out of the water yet would jump in headfirst.

Ma Rongcheng is obviously the former.

Right now, public opinion overwhelmingly supports him. If Huang Yulang's people are attacked again, it will obviously turn into a dog-eat-dog situation where neither side is in the right.

Ma Rongcheng pushed his gold-rimmed glasses down his nose and gritted his teeth, saying, "I want to take advantage of this public opinion to start my own comics company, make it the largest in Hong Kong, and trample Qi Wenjie into the mud in the publishing business!"

Zhai Yuan shrugged without comment, thinking that Ma Zai's words were a little too naive.

"Although the business world is like a battlefield, you are the most popular star in the Hong Kong comics circle today."

Zhai Yuan said slowly, "But if you leave the Yulang Group, how many fans can you take with you? No matter how high the quality of your work is, you are the only main writer in the entire company. The number of works produced by the Yulang Group is so large that you can't even hold your head up. Besides, the quality of people like Huang Yulang and Niu Lao may not be inferior to yours."

Ma Rongcheng was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Mr. Zhai, do you still want me to join your two-spined newt?"

"I'm used to being a hands-off boss. If you're willing to switch gears, you'll be Qi Wenjie of Yulang in Ercili. Why would I bother going out and raising the flag?"

Zhai Yuan said arrogantly, "Besides, I am now entering the comics market. No matter you, Shangguan Xiaobao or Yulang Group, no one is qualified to be the first. We can only compete for the second position. In the future, it will not be you who tramples Qi Wenjie into the mud, but me."

Ma Rongcheng fell silent again, and this time the silence lasted even longer.

He didn't think these words were arrogant, Zhai Yuan did have something to rely on.

He even got the authorization for the Japanese comics that Huang Yulang couldn't get, and he had won half of the market before entering the market. At present, the only shortcoming of Ercili is the main writing and drawing, but from Zhai Yuan's leisurely attitude and the fact that he didn't even attend the company's opening in person, it is obvious that he doesn't take the shortcomings in the eyes of outsiders seriously at all.

"Comics are good, novels are good, readers are interested in the story, not the writing style or the painting style."

Zhai Yuan spoke again, breaking the silence: "What a coincidence, people say that I am the king of bridge kings, and I have no shortage of stories. Today is our first official meeting, so I'll tell you a story. But if you want to use my story, remember to take the initiative to work at Ercili after you recover, otherwise I will sue you for copyright infringement."

Ma Rongcheng looked up in surprise.

Even if you are the king of bridges, you can't be so confident, right? I have a bridge team under me. Do you think you can attract me to join you with just a story?

Ma Rongcheng didn't believe that Zhai Yuan could come up with a scene that would make him reluctant to let go.

Zhai Yuan didn't care about his attitude. After telling the story, it didn't matter whether Ma Rongcheng was willing to join the two-spined newts. At most, he could find a new artist to draw the picture.

Anyway, I'll do NTR to you in person first.

In the strange atmosphere of the ward, both of them had their own thoughts.

Zhai Yuan considered for a moment, then smiled and said, "The story goes that there was a gang in the martial arts world called Tianxiahui. In order to unify the world, the gang leader Xiongba recruited forces from all sides, and those who followed him prospered while those who rebelled against him perished. Later, Xiongba got the advice of the divine fortune teller, 'How can a golden scale stay in a pond? Once it encounters wind and clouds, it will turn into a dragon.' He recruited two capable generals, Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun, and finally achieved hegemony. Unfortunately, Xiongba was insidious and cunning, and he would discard his subordinates after using them. He first kicked Nie Feng out, and then cut off Bu Jingyun's right hand... Qin Shuang had both his hands cut off by Xiongba... The First Evil Emperor cut off both his hands... The Second Sword Emperor cut off his arms... Xiongba cut off his fingers... Jue Wushen had his right hand cut off... The Boxing God had his right hand cut off... Wuming had his right hand shattered..."

Ma Rongcheng: "..."

…………

Xiong Ba is Huang Yulang? Nie Feng is Shao Jie who was kicked out of the house, and Bu Jingyun is Ma Rongcheng who had his right hand cut?

You can speculate whatever you want, but it is impossible to say that Ma Rongcheng did not have his own agenda when he later created "Feng Yun".

But now this story has become Zhai Yuan's original creation.

From the time his henchman was beheaded to the time he created this story, it took no more than 24 hours.

Our President Zhai is so awesome!
"I have the impression that the Hong Kong comics market has been diluted by the impact of Japanese comics. Even "Wind and Cloud" can't sell as well as "Chinese Hero" in the past two years."

The next day,

Zhai Yuan came out of Ercili Comics Company and took a car to another newly opened Good Voice Record Company. When he went downstairs, he thought about Hong Kong comics and thought, "But Fengyun is still a classic IP after all, and it has a great influence later. If Ma Rongcheng refuses to join Ercili, he can leave this work as compensation."

Compensation for what?
Naturally, even though President Zhai condescended to invite him personally, the other party still refused to show his favor.

Get in the car.

Zhai Yuan leaned back on the cushion and shook a copy of this morning's Ming Pao in his hand.

The front-page headline is a follow-up report on the attack on Ma Rongcheng.

'The Yulang Group published a notice in all major newspapers in Hong Kong today, stating that the group will reserve all legal responsibilities for the reports on the Ma Rongcheng incident. Huang Yulang himself has not expressed any opinion on the matter...'

I turned the page and saw that the same thing was still being reported. It seemed that nothing big happened in Hong Kong at the beginning of this month.

"According to insiders, in the case of Ma Rongcheng being attacked, Huang Yulang was actually put on the stage to eat the dead cat. The real murderer is someone else, and the henchman was just used as a sacrifice to attack the Yulang Group..."

This report did not name anyone, but it told the story of Shangguan Jinhong and Xiao Li Flying Dagger. It almost told the readers that it was Shangguan Xiaobao who hired someone to hurt someone.

Even a major newspaper like Ming Pao still uses a pseudonym to save face. Based on Zhai Yuan's understanding of the media, he is sure that the gossip tabloids outside have already put the blame directly on Shangguan Xiaobao.

“I didn’t expect there are people like me who are fans of conspiracy theories.”

Zhai Yuan smiled and turned another page.

'There are rumors that a new star in the film, stock and music circles entered the comics industry, so he fabricated the attack on Ma Rongcheng to attack his competitors and threaten his henchmen to leave. From the past record of this new star, it is not difficult to see that he will stir up disputes when he enters any industry. He also has a close relationship with a local community and produced movies together. It can be seen that the rumors are not groundless...'

Zhai Yuan: “…”

This is a bit embarrassing. How can you be caught up in the war while just watching the show?
Judging from Zhai Yuan's experience in the entertainment industry, this method of using new topics to divert attention one after another was definitely not revealed by the so-called "insiders", but was mostly used to throw smoke bombs to cover up the truth.

It's obvious who is hyping this up.

"Damn Huang Yulang!"

Zhai Yuan crumpled the newspaper into a ball and cursed angrily.

Boss Zhai, who has always valued harmony, silently took note of Huang Yulang in his heart.

We met each other in the mountains and rivers, and you will have trouble in the future!

Another thing,

After a month of mediation in Taiwan, the "September 1st Daily" successfully obtained its first issue on the other side of the strait.

Zhai Yuan holds the power and leaves all the publishing and distribution to the people arranged by Mark Simon. He does not interfere with any content and allows them to write whatever they like.

On the first day of the trial release of the "Jiuyi Daily Taiwan Edition",
The method used is still the same as that used by Ou Xi Hei Jin to promote Li Zhiying's "Forbidden Fruit Daily". I sell it at a loss. Others sell it for one dollar, but I don't even want fifty cents. I just take a newspaper for twenty cents.

The people arranged by Mark Simon worked hard, like troublemakers, launching a new round of price war in Taiwan and cultivating mouthpieces.

The only strange thing is that the officials from Taiwan gave the green light throughout the whole process, and were particularly enthusiastic towards the Americans than usual. They did not care about Zhai Yuan's previous actions at all, and were extremely weak in their knees.

It wasn't like this in the past, and it won't be like this in the future, but I'm particularly diligent during this period of time.

Although Formosa is weak to America, Mark Simon, a CIA agent, is not worthy of such respect.

There is something strange about the attentiveness.

"Forget it, let's not think about these complicated things. Anyway, the September 1st Daily has obtained its first issue in Taiwan, and we will get another region this year. From now on, we can go our separate ways."

Zhai Yuan was not sure where Ouxi would arrange for their newspaper to develop next.

But it doesn’t matter. Taking over the first issue of any country is just a bonus. We’re going to fall out next year anyway…

Zhai Yuan suddenly thought of Situ Mingzhu's face, which was full of wrinkles when he smiled.

Tear the shapi face!
The car slowly stopped downstairs of Jiuyi Entertainment.

Zhai Yuan cleared his mind of distracting thoughts.
Get off the car and go upstairs.

After eating vegetarian food for a month in Taiwan and having arranged everything else in advance, Boss Zhai now misses Girls' Generation very much!

(I have to catch the high-speed train tomorrow morning, so I need to pack my things first.
