Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

Among the younger generation, not many possess this ability to cultivate inner strength.

Even fewer people can achieve this level of success at this age.

"Your novels are well-written, showing the style of a master!" After a few cups of tea, Shao Renling slowly explained his purpose: "I want to buy the film and television adaptation rights to your three novels, so that TVB can make them into TV series."

The Shao family owns the largest television station and the largest cinema chain in Hong Kong, and they have an extremely strong interest in the film and television adaptation rights of their novels.

The film and television adaptation rights to Jin Yong's works are in the hands of Shao Renling.

Therefore, Xiao Shan was not surprised that Shao Renling wanted to buy the copyright.

However, Xiao Shan shook his head: "These three novels are not yet finished, and the plot may deviate in the future, so they may not be suitable for adaptation into film and television versions!"

Xiao Shan plans to make movies and TV series in the future, so why would he sell the film and television adaptation rights to the novel?

“One million? We’ll buy it!” Fang Menglan, who hadn’t spoken before, suddenly said.

She was asking the question on behalf of Shao Renling. There were some things that were not appropriate for someone of Shao Renling's status to bargain with a junior.

Xiao Shan couldn't help but grin: "You think I'm a beggar?"

Three novels, and you want to buy the film and television adaptation rights for just one million?

"How much do you want? Name your price." Fang Menglan appeared extremely arrogant.

Asking for exorbitant prices and then negotiating on the spot, since she's not the one who ultimately makes the final decision.

Xiao Shan shook his head and said, "I don't lack money, and you can't afford the price!"

Shao Renling knew that Xiaoshan was not short of money, but having some was better than having none.

Once the three novels are completed, they will be printed as physical books and sold.

TVB's adaptation of the three novels into film and television series will significantly boost the sales of the novels.

Why refuse a win-win situation?

Soon, Shao Renling thought of a possibility and couldn't help but take a closer look at Xiaoshan in front of him.

This guy from the mainland has quite the ambition!

“Let’s go!” Shao Renling knew very well that there was no need for the two sides to continue talking.

"Sixth Brother?" Fang Menglan couldn't help but ask after leaving the Peninsula Hotel and getting into the car.

Shao Renling pondered, "This Mr. Xiao is too ambitious. He doesn't sell the copyright because he wants to film it himself!"

"Film it yourself? It has to fetch a good price first." Fang Menglan immediately understood what was going on.

To everyone's surprise, Shao Renling shook his head and said, "He does want to film it himself, but I'm afraid he won't sell the finished product."

"Not selling? Then he is..." Fang Menglan suddenly imagined a possibility and her eyes widened. "Could it be that he also wants to buy a TV station?"

"Why can't I buy it myself?" Shao Renling retorted.

Without a solid foundation, it's impossible to run a television station.

However, Xiaoshan now owns Taishan Newspaper Group, which gives it the necessary permits.

Given the current development trend of Taishan Newspaper Group, its expansion is inevitable.

Next, they will enter the broadcasting field, and then influence the audio field through broadcasting, eventually acquiring a television station and completing the closed loop in the media industry!

"This guy gets delusional after achieving a little success!" Fang Menglan sneered disdainfully.

Want to complete a closed loop in the media industry?

What a joke!

Xiaoshan's entire company doesn't even have a thousand employees yet, so how can they talk about a closed-loop media ecosystem?

Despite the Shao family's immense wealth and Shao Renling's lifelong struggle, he only managed to become a tycoon in the entertainment industry, failing to complete the media loop.

It wasn't that Mr. Shao didn't want to complete it, but rather that he lacked the ability to do so.

It's incredibly difficult to excel in every field!

Shao Renling didn't say anything about Fang Menglan's disdain.

Because he also doesn't think Xiaoshan can complete the media closed loop.

The newspaper industry alone has not been properly managed; Taishan Daily has only become the number one in daily sales, and the new newspaper upstart has not yet transformed into the newspaper industry leader.

However, judging from Malaysia's attitude, it is highly likely that they will choose to back down.

But even if you become a leader in the newspaper industry, the road in the publishing field will not be so easy.

Those three novels alone won't work.

Furthermore, once Taishan Media Group has completed these areas, the first thing it should explore is radio stations.

Only after achieving success in digital media and audio will they then target television stations.

This road is not easy to walk; every step is fraught with difficulties!

Shao Renling also wants to see how far Xiaoshan can go!

"I was underestimated!" Xiao Shan thought to himself as he watched Shao Renling leave.

Since Xiaoshan has chosen to cause trouble in Hong Kong, it's natural that it's going to make a big splash.

Otherwise, he might as well stay in Beijing and stay with his wife and children!

Xiaoshan chose to target the media industry first because the media controls public opinion and has influence and credibility far exceeding its own size.

Xiaoshan knows too many ways to make money!

Without this power, the wealth you earn will be coveted by others.

Moreover, there are always many people in society who are envious and will harbor malicious intentions when they see others making a lot of money. They will openly or secretly cause trouble and try to take advantage of others.

Xiao Shan has no family protection, is unwilling to share his own interests, and is unwilling to easily shake his supernatural abilities, so the best way is to possess a weapon himself.

This weapon is the media!

If someone tries to force Xiaoshan to relinquish its interests through underhanded means, the media can be used to retaliate and embroil the other party in controversy.

If it's a fair and square competition, Xiaoshan isn't afraid of anyone; everyone should compete fairly.

Now that the Taishan Daily has gained significant influence, it is powerful enough to protect interests exceeding its own size, so Xiaoshan will naturally not give up the opportunity to expand its influence.

The following day, the Taishan Daily published a statement from Xiaoshan refuting the rumors that had been spread by Malaysia.

Hu Xian of Sing Tao Daily was very angry after reading the statement from Taishan Daily.

In order to strike at her enemies, she did not hesitate to ally with the Taishan Daily to jointly suppress the Oriental Daily.

I thought the Ma family would be badly hurt, if not completely wiped out, but I didn't expect the Taishan Daily to take the initiative to dispel any suspicions against the Oriental Daily.

What angered Hu Xian the most was why the Taishan Daily did not inform her, its ally, in advance of making such a decision.

Is it preparing to make peace with Oriental Daily News?

Fook Wan Toys Factory, Kowloon Industrial Estate.

"Mr. Xiao, what do you think of my factory?" Wang Ziming, the owner of Fuyun Toy Factory, asked cautiously.

After inspecting the factory's operations, Xiao Shan analyzed several documents.

The occasional furrowing of his brow made Wang Ziming's heart pound.

Recently, due to the rise in the price of plastic raw materials, plastic toys have experienced sluggish sales after their prices also increased.

Fuyun Toy Factory could no longer hold on, so Wang Ziming decided to sell and transfer it.

With such a large factory, the daily wages of over two hundred workers are a significant burden. Selling it sooner would reduce potential losses.

The factory, equipment, and workers are all fine. Xiaoshan doesn't have high requirements for equipment, and the quality of the workers is not yet apparent.

Although the land belongs to Fu Yun Toy Factory, it can be purchased along with the land.

However, there is no vacant land nearby, which is not conducive to the expansion of the toy factory.

In Xiaoshan's future business empire plan, factories are the most essential component.

Scattered and disorganized operations are not conducive to management; it would be best to unify them into a single industrial zone.

"That's settled then! I'll buy the land as well, seven million Hong Kong dollars. Let's sign the contract now!" Xiao Shan wasn't one for idle chatter. He'd rather spend more time thinking about how to develop the business than haggling.

“Okay, okay!” Wang Ziming nodded without hesitation.

After both parties signed the contract, Wang Ziming took Xiao Shan to meet with the workers.

After gathering all the workers in the factory's auditorium, Wang Ziming spoke first: "Everyone, please be quiet! Fuyun Toy Factory has been fully acquired by Mr. Xiao, who is sitting next to me. From now on, Mr. Xiao will be the new owner of the toy factory. Now, please welcome Mr. Xiao to speak!"

Upon hearing Wang Ziming's words, the workers below the stage began to stir restlessly.

Xiao Shan stepped forward, and immediately all eyes were on him: "It's a pleasure to meet you all! I am Xiao Shan, your new boss. Effective immediately, Fuyun Toy Factory will be renamed Taishan Toy Factory. All positions will remain unchanged for the time being, but salaries will be increased by ten percent."

Upon hearing Xiao Shan's words, the workers below the stage cheered loudly and applauded continuously.

I came out to work just to earn a salary.

As for how much money they make from production and sales, that has absolutely nothing to do with them.

Hong Kong people are very practical!

Once the workers quieted down a bit, Xiao Shan looked at a middle-aged man beside him and said to the workers below the stage, "This is You Kebin, the general manager of Taishan Toy Factory. Please welcome Mr. You to the stage to speak!"

You Kebin was a professional manager that Xiaoshan recruited through a headhunting firm.

"Hello everyone, I'm You Kebin!" You Kebin stepped forward and looked at everyone, saying, "Starting tomorrow, Taishan Toy Factory will be going all out to produce a new toy—the Rubik's Cube! We'll be expanding production capacity to give everyone more opportunities to earn overtime pay..."

When the workers heard about working overtime, they were not only not annoyed, but became even more excited.

The Hong Kong people's love for money is on full display.

For several days in a row, Taishan Toy Factory was making a lot of noise.

They successively acquired two plastic toy factories, and during the integration process, they continued to produce square plastic blocks.

Despite not having a single decent product, the company is making every effort to establish connections with various toy distributors.

It's really hard to understand what's going on.

Only Xiaoshan knows how popular Rubik's Cube will become!

We can produce more stock now and assemble them once the international patent application is approved.

The Heavenly Court Monthly was finally launched amidst great anticipation, and it received unanimous praise from the market.

The serialization of "My Heroic Husband" and "Joy of Life" in monthly magazines has once again ignited readers' enthusiasm.

Due to the large number of words in the monthly magazine, many publishers have contacted Taishan Newspaper Group, wanting to sell it to Taiwan and Southeast Asia.

This is precisely where Taishan Newspaper Group's foundation is weak!

Taishan Newspaper Group has now established itself in Hong Kong, but it has no distribution channels in Taiwan and Southeast Asia.

For Xiaoshan to expand the influence of Taishan Newspaper Group, establishing distribution channels in Southeast Asia is essential!

Chapter 594, Taking the Family to Hong Kong! (Please Subscribe!)

But if that's the case, then we'll have to deal with Sing Tao Daily.

Taiwan and Southeast Asia are now regarded as Sing Tao Daily's backyard.

However, Xiao Shan is not in a hurry now. Anyway, once Da Ma and Xiao Ma flee to Taiwan and he acquires Oriental Daily News, Sing Tao Daily won't be able to keep up for long!

December arrived, and the international patent for the Rubik's Cube was finally granted.

Xiaoshan originally planned to start producing Rubik's Cubes immediately.

However, considering that the Lunar New Year was approaching and he would have to go back to Beijing to celebrate with his wife and children, Xiao Shan gave up the idea.

I plan to start producing Rubik's Cubes after I return to Hong Kong after the Lunar New Year.

In mid-December, Xiao Shan handed over the affairs in Hong Kong to Tu Feiding and others, and then returned to Beijing.

After a lively New Year in Beijing, Xiao Shan brought Ding Qiunan and their two children to Hong Kong.

The main reason Xiao Shan brought his family along was that he was worried that he would become estranged from his children if he wasn't by their side.
