Chapter 930 0918 [Who Is the Hero?]
"Mr. Du, is everything you said true?"
"Mr. Du, are you really willing to bear all the reconstruction costs?"
"Mr. Du, is our salary really tripled?"
For a time, these originally reserved literati could no longer hold back and started asking questions.
The two bosses, Jin Yong and Shen Baoxin, were stunned. They never expected that these colleagues, who had sworn so arrogantly just now, would now reveal their true colors, and would actually put aside the righteousness for the sake of "petty profit".
Du Yongxiao had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions. He turned the lighter in his hand and said, "Although I, Mr. Du, am not an earth-shattering big shot, I am still somewhat famous. Do you think I would make fun of my reputation? Besides, I am now the No. 1 celebrity in Ming Pao Shareholders, for me, Ming Pao is better than anything else, and you are all indispensable assets of Ming Pao. Let me ask, how will Ming Pao operate without you?"
"Mr. Du is so kind and righteous!"
"Yeah, I didn't expect Mr. Du to take us so seriously. It's just that we are narrow-minded!"
Everyone was talking again, but this time it was not criticism of Du Yongxiao, but praise.
Listening to these words, Jin Yong and Shen Baoxin felt that their literary character was gone, and all the benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust were bullshit!
"Mr. Du, I just discovered today that you are such an outstanding person."
"Yes, there are many entrepreneurs in Hong Kong, but people as magnanimous and generous as Mr. To are rare!"
"That's why I said from the beginning that Mr. Du is like a dragon or a phoenix among people. With him leading Ming Pao and leading everyone to develop, we will definitely succeed!"
The words of praise grew more and more intense.
The grasshoppers who were originally sitting on the wall and watching quickly took advantage of the situation and began to praise Du Yongxiao. What's more, some directly expressed their loyalty to Du Yongxiao.
When Jin Yong and Shen Baoxin saw this, they felt that these people had no dignity at all, and they felt that the situation was over. The newspaper empire they had built with their own hands was about to be handed over to others, and they felt indescribable the sadness in their hearts.
"Thank you all for your love. Mr. Du deserves it!" Du Yongxiao stood up and hugged everyone, "But one thing needs to be explained. In the future, I will not lead everyone to the light and lead Mingbao to prosperity, but there will be something else. people."
"Uh, what do you mean?"
Everyone was stunned and looked at Du Yongxiao in confusion.
"Mr. Du, please make it clear, aren't you the one leading our team?"
"Yes, Mr. Du, we all admire you very much!"
When Jin Yong and Shen Baoxin saw this, Lao Gao immediately frowned and felt sick in his heart.
Before, this group of people unanimously opposed Du Yongxiao and Du Yongxiao's control of Ming Pao. Now that they have expressed their attitude and said that they do not know how to manage Ming Pao, these people have gone up to flatter others and insist that Du Yongxiao be in charge.
"The specific situation is this..." Du Yongxiao explained with a smile, "I am already busy with my work. In addition to being the police commissioner, I also have to manage and manage the Du Group, which has many businesses. I really I am so busy that I am often unable to do anything..."
"In addition, I am not a newspaper person and know nothing about running newspapers. I have only invested in Oriental Daily and Sing Tao Daily and gained some investment experience, so I dared to invest in Ming Pao this time..."
"Originally, I can rest assured that Ming Pao has elites in charge, but I am even more worried that some people with ulterior motives and evil intentions will take the opportunity to disrupt Ming Pao, ignore the development of Ming Pao, and avenge private revenge... For this reason, I decided to decentralize power and give a person Let the person I trust serve as the leader of Ming Pao, and let him follow everyone to learn and make progress together..."
Du Yongxiao's words were actually very straightforward. He wanted to find an agent to control Ming Pao to prevent some people from causing trouble and regaining power.
Since those who make newspapers are all literati, a common problem among literati is that they like to fill their brains, like some conspiracy theories, and feel that they are smarter than everyone else.
So these smart people all looked at the people standing behind Du Yongxiao.
First of all, Barrister Brando was excluded from their succession. Is this a ghost guy or a ghost lawyer? As the saying goes, a ghost guy is reliable and a sow can climb a tree. A shrewd person like Du Yongxiao will never trust this guy. Gui Lao, leave this big stall of Ming Pao to the other party.
Then they looked at Zhuang Dingxian, who was standing on the right side of Du Yongxiao. They remembered that this young man seemed to be at the level of police superintendent. At this level, he could take a step up in his official career, and he would never go into business halfway.
What's more, this young man named Zhuang doesn't seem to have a liberal arts background, and his cultural level is still some distance away from that of a newspaper man.
Then, they looked at Yan Xiong together.
Everyone’s first impression is that it’s him!
Yes, at this moment everyone thinks that Du Yongxiao will hand over the Ming Pao industry to Yan Xiong.
The reason is simple-——
First of all, Yan Xiong is Du Yongxiao’s godson. Who is closer to him than this?
Secondly, Yan Xiong used to be one of the four major detectives, and he was in charge of hundreds of police officers. He was known as the Smiling Tiger, and he was good at management, so he would definitely be able to intimidate the police.
Finally, Yan Xiong understands English and has a pretty good cultural level. The most important thing is his age and qualifications, which can be convincing.
As for the other people around Du Yongxiao, only Huang Ying was left.
But these literati didn't even think about it and just passed her over. The reason is very simple: she is a woman!
The Hong Kong literary world is actually very clear about the differences between men and women. Although it cannot be said to be "discriminatory", it still believes that "a woman's lack of talent is a virtue" when it comes to women, and believes that such women are the best.
To put it bluntly, Hong Kong literati are actually deeply influenced by traditional Confucianism. This is the main reason why Western culture could not penetrate Hong Kong until the late 1980s and 1990s.
Therefore, even though Huang Ying stood behind Du Yongxiao and stood close to her, no one regarded her as the heir to this election.
Thinking of this, everyone almost came to the conclusion that the successor Du Yongxiao would choose this time must be Yan Xiong.
Immediately some smart people stood up and said: "Mr. Du, we understand! We know that you are busy with all kinds of business and can't spare time to take care of Ming Pao, but it doesn't matter. We believe that the capable person you have chosen will be able to lead Ming Pao. Lead us to ride the wind and waves and create greater glory!”
"Yes, Mr. Du! We think Inspector Yan Xiongyan is worthy of a big job! Not only is he senior, he is also good at management. The most rare thing is that he is very loyal to you..."
"Inspector Yan Xiongyan is very good!"
"You're right, I support Inspector Yan's selection!"
"Congratulations to Inspector Yan for leading Mingbao!"
Everyone expressed their opinions one after another.
Jin Yong and Shen Baoxin also felt that Du Yongxiao would definitely recommend Yan Xiong as the president of Ming Pao.
I feel sad when I think that Ming Pao, which they founded with their own hands and always have a sharp writing style, will be managed by a "big boss" who has been a policeman.
"Sorry, everyone!"
Just when everyone expressed their opinions, Jin Yong and Shen Baoxin were dejected, Du Yongxiao suddenly spoke.
"Maybe I didn't express my meaning clearly. I am going to recommend taking over Ming Pao. The person who will take over Ming Pao on my behalf is——"
Du Yongxiao smiled and gestured to Huang Ying standing beside him: "Huang Ying, Miss Huang!"
boom!
The whole place exploded.
Everyone looked at Huang Ying in disbelief.
Jin Yong and Shen Baoxin even opened their mouths and stared.
They never dreamed that Du Yongxiao would make such a decision.
"Did I hear correctly?"
"Why is it her?"
All kinds of surprises and doubts came out.
For these self-proclaimed literati, Du Yongxiao's decision was simply unbelievable.
Du Yongxiao looked at the fierce reaction of everyone and sneered in his heart, but remained calm on the surface: "Why, do you have some misunderstanding about my decision? Do you think girls cannot take on big responsibilities? Do you think women cannot be the person in charge of Ming Pao?"
Du Yongxiao's words immediately calmed down the scene. Everyone looked at Du Yongxiao and knew that he was angry.
"Amu Pu, you all said you would respect my decision just now. No matter what I do, you all support me strongly. But now, I just proposed that the person I trust most around me should be the person in charge of Ming Pao. You saw that she is a woman. , They all chirped and thought the sky was about to fall, what do you mean?"
No one dared to speak, and they all lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Du Yongxiao's unruly eyes.
Du Yongxiao glanced around with domineering eyes and continued: "I know what you are thinking. You are pretentious and think that you are scholars, but you don't take women into your heart. You think that women are just vassals and deserve to be at your mercy for the rest of their lives! But! Now, I want a woman to stand up and lead Ming Pao and lead you. The reason is very simple. I trust her and I trust her ability even more! I think she can lead everyone to lead Ming Pao to the bright future. Who is against this! ?”
Some people couldn't bear the depressing atmosphere pushed by Du Yongxiao and wanted to raise their heads, but Du Yongxiao glanced over, and the courage he mustered up quickly dissipated in the other person's eyes, and he hurriedly lowered his head a little lower!
Huang Ying, who was standing next to Du Yongxiao, had a different feeling at this time.
From the very beginning when Du Yongxiao decided to let her be the person in charge of Ming Pao, she had already made the decision to resign from the position of inspector, intending to transform from an excellent female inspector into an excellent newspaper person.
In fact, she is still somewhat resistant to this. After all, her favorite profession is the police, but for the person she loves, for Du Yongxiao, she is willing to give everything and exchange her favorite job for it.
Only now did Huang Ying understand how much decision Du Yongxiao had made in order for her to lead Ming Pao and to allow her to ascend to the leadership position of Ming Pao.
Not to mention anything else, Du Yongxiao was able to overcome all objections and push her to become the president of Ming Pao based on the situation in front of him, which seemed to withstand tremendous pressure.
In Huang Ying's eyes, no one thinks highly of her or trusts her at this time. Only Du Yongxiao dares to be the enemy of the world and stands firmly on her side. This kind of trust makes Huang Ying feel unspeakable. Feel……
After waiting for a while, no one spoke. Du Yongxiao snorted, turned around, took the windbreaker from Huang Ying's hand and put it on himself. Finally, he looked at everyone in the field: "I have made up my mind, even if you object, it will be invalid! You know, Miss Huang Yinghuang's appointment as the person in charge of Ming Pao officially takes effect from today. As for your salary being tripled and you are willing to stay, I applaud you and welcome you. If you want to leave, I also applaud you in farewell - After I have finished speaking, does anyone agree? Any objection?"
"Ahem, this... I agree!"
After hearing Du Yongxiao's harsh words, someone finally took advantage and had the courage to speak.
"I feel that although Miss Huang is from a woman's family, women are not necessarily inferior to men. What's more, in ancient times, Hua Mulan joined the army on behalf of her father. Girls are still very sharp. Many times, we men can't do things, but they can do it! So! In my opinion, Mr. To’s decision is wise and pioneering, and can lead the Hong Kong women’s movement to further develop and integrate with the international community!”
This man was so impassioned that he said all the words of praise that could be said.
He looked at Du Yongxiao with great anxiety, not knowing whether what he said was right or wrong.
Others looked at him with disdain, their eyes full of disgust.
"Are you...Ming Pao editor Pan Yaoming?" Du Yongxiao looked at the other person and narrowed his eyes.
The man looked surprised: "Mr. Du, do you know me?"
Of course Du Yongxiao knew the other person, because in his previous life, he was the first person after Jin Yong to lead Ming Pao out of trouble.
In the last life, Mr. Jin Yong, also known as Mr. Cha, invited Pan Yaoming from Sanlian Bookstore to the "Ming Pao Monthly" he founded to be the editor-in-chief through a cultural figure in Hong Kong. After getting rid of the newspaper business, Mr. Cha chose to publish articles in Ming Pao Monthly, and he trusted Pan Yaoming very much.
In this regard, Pan Yaoming has always declared: "I have always respected him very much and am grateful for his kindness."
During the process of working with Mr. Cha, Pan Yaoming was deeply impressed by his work and management methods: "He takes his work very seriously and has the wisdom to use people. He does not trust people when he hires them, and he does not use them when he doubts them. This gives everyone a lot of room to perform."
Pan Yaoming recalled that Mr. Cha was a very knowledgeable person. Every time he goes on a business trip, he searches for books in airport bookstores and reads extensively.
Pan Yaoming said that in the mid-1990s, Mr. Cha wanted to put down his newspaper business and switch from martial arts novels to historical novels. Unexpectedly, he fell seriously ill not long after he quit the business of "Ming Pao". After major surgery, his health deteriorated, which affected the creation of his works.
"Mr. Cha has never fulfilled his wish to write historical novels, which has become a big regret for him."
"The last time I saw Mr. Cha was two or three years ago, when his health was much worse than before." Pan Yaoming said that until this time he heard the news of Mr. Cha's death, he was shocked and sad. "There has been false news of his death before, and I would rather believe that today's news is also false."
This man has passed away, and all that is left to people are memories. Regarding Jin Yong, Pan Yaoming's evaluation is very firm: "There will not be another person like Mr. Cha within 500 years."
It can be seen that in the previous life, Pan Yaoming was a staunch admirer and supporter of Jin Yong, but now he has chosen to "abandon the darkness and join the light" and stand on Du Yongxiao's side.
"Editor Pan, thank you very much for your support!" Du Yongxiao said with a smile, "After all, there are very few people like you who understand justice and have no prejudice against women! In my opinion, you are the kind of person who deserves praise People! Now, in order to consolidate the high-level culture of Ming Pao, I have decided to promote you as the vice president of Ming Pao and run Ming Pao together with Ms. Huang Ying. Is it okay?"
"Uh, what?" Pan Yaoming was startled and looked at Du Yongxiao in disbelief.
Others were even more shocked.
What, vice president?
Who would have thought that Pan Yaoming would be promoted to vice president immediately just by expressing his support for Du Yongxiao? It would be even more explosive than being promoted to three levels in a row!
"Why, aren't you willing?" Du Yongxiao asked with a smile.
"No, no, no! I do!" Pan Yaoming was excited and incoherent, "I am willing to participate in the grand event with Miss Huang, and I am even more willing to lead the team towards the light!"
Pan Yaoming hurriedly expressed his position, fearing that Du Yongxiao would regret it.
"That's good, since this is the case, the overall situation has been decided! From today on, Ms. Huang Ying will serve as the president of Ming Pao, and Mr. Pan Yaoming will serve as the vice president. The two will lead the development of Ming Pao together!"
After saying that, Du Yongxiao turned to look at the others: "Does anyone else want to speak?"
Seeing Huang Yaoming rocketing into the sky just because of one word, the others didn’t hesitate anymore——
"I support Miss Huang!"
"I support it too!"
"A woman can hold up half the sky! Miss Huang Ying can definitely do it!"
After realizing it, these people started hugging the horse's legs crazily.
Du Yongxiao smiled, put on his windbreaker and walked towards the conference room. When he passed by the martial arts master Jin Yong, he stopped and turned to look at the other person who lowered his head and said nothing: "What's wrong, Mr. Cha, are you unhappy?"
Jin Yong didn't know what to say.
If you say it harshly, it will appear that you are narrow-minded, if you say it with a crown, it will appear that you are hypocritical.
Du Yongxiao breathed out, "Although Ming Pao was founded by you, times have changed. If you want Ming Pao to continue to survive, then the best way is to continue to stay here..."
"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who will retaliate against a villain, nor will I exclude you for some reason. On the contrary, you are a great talent, and it depends on whether you are willing to continue to shine for Mingbao!"
"That me..." Jin Yong pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.
Du Yongxiao's eyes were fixed on Jin Yong's face: "Don't say much, just do what you want!"
After Du Yongxiao finished speaking, he walked outside and casually ordered: "Huang Ying, you will be in charge of Mingbao from now on. You stay here to get to know everyone. You know, if anyone dissatisfied with you, feel free to come to me, I am Du People are best at killing people, setting fires, and getting fired!”
Although Du Yongxiao's words were somewhat joking, they were full of deterrence!
After all, his reputation as "human massacre with bloody hands" and "street cleansing tiger" is by no means in vain!
"Got it, Mr. Du!" Huang Ying, who was beautiful and gentle, followed Du Yongxiao and said.
She stood at the door and looked at the back of the tall man who walked out of the door, her eyes full of admiration and fascination. Then she turned her head and looked at the people in the meeting room who were still silent at this time---
What is a man?
What is a hero?
This is it!
