Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

As the president of "Shimbunday", Asai Arizawa has been working hard to support the operation of this newspaper over the years. But unfortunately, as Neon's newspapers become more and more popular, small and medium-sized newspapers simply cannot compete with those newspapers.

For large newspapers, the circulation of Newsday is shrinking.

Although Arisawa Asai really wants to continue to support the publication of "Shimbunday", some things cannot be done by just thinking, they must rely on strength.

"Newsday" has a total of thirty-seven employees from top to bottom, and there are twelve employees stationed in the Osaka branch, which adds up to nearly fifty people.

Among these people, there are twelve managers, and the rest are editors, reporters and other staff.

The monthly salary expenditure alone is as high as tens of millions of yen, and the combined salary and benefits will cost at least several hundred million yen in a year.

In the past, when the daily sales of "Newsday" were good, these were not a problem, but once the daily sales of the newspaper shrank, not to mention benefits, even the payment of wages became a problem.

This does not include office rent, water and electricity bills, commuting fees, etc., which add up to a large amount of money.

Under such circumstances, cutting expenditures will definitely start with some basic daily consumption, such as water, electricity and commuting, which are declining year by year.

But with this method of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, increasing revenue is the most important means, and reducing expenditure will not actually be of much help to Newsday.

So when Arisawa Asai received an offer from Readers Times to acquire Newsday, his first reaction was that he didn't want to sell it, but he quickly calmed down and told the other party that he was willing to talk.

In fact, everyone can see the current situation of "Shimbunday". This is not a question of whether Asai Arizawa is willing or able to persist, but it is simply impossible for him to refuse the acquisition of "Reader Times".

Because if he rejects the acquisition proposed by Lin Daoqiu, there will be no loss to Lin Daoqiu, because "News Daily" is not an influential newspaper in Neon. It is only a medium newspaper at best, with a certain

A large number of readers, but how big the influence is is probably a matter of opinion.

For the first meeting, Lin Daoqiu chose a golf course in a scenic resort area.

Perhaps it was the social etiquette he learned from North America, but Lin Daoqiu felt that the people in Neon respected North America so much, and if he dealt with them in North America's way, these people would be very happy.

In fact, Asai Arizawa is also a person who likes to play golf for socializing. Arisa Asai is naturally very happy about Lin Daoqiu's invitation. After all, this is a project that he is good at and likes.

Very few people know about this meeting between Lin Daoqiu and Asai Arizawa, and even if someone knows it, it will not cause any big disturbance. Maybe many people can guess what the two people talked about when they played together, but here

In such an open environment, no one should think that they are talking about anything very confidential, right?

"Mr. Asai, this is Mr. Lin Daoqiulin, the president of "Readers Times"."

After Ariza Asai arrived at the golf course, he was immediately brought to Lin Daoqiu.

Ariza Asai, who was already in his fifties and had gray hair, looked at Lin Daoqiu who looked like he was only in his twenties. He was completely stunned for a moment.

Even though he had heard of Lin Daoqiu before and knew his all-powerful deeds in the neon film market, this was the first time he stood face to face with him and looked at him like this. Asai Ariza could not help but be attracted by Lin Daoqiu's youth. I was shocked.

At his age, he was still a deputy editor in "Newsday", but Lin Daoqiu has become an internationally renowned film and media tycoon at this age. This person is really incomparable.

"Hello, Mr. Lin, my name is Arisawa Asai. Nice to meet you. Please take good care of me when we meet you for the first time."

Asai Arizawa stretched out his hand towards Lin Daoqiu, and then the two shook hands.

"Mr. Asai, you're welcome. I think that if one of us has to take care of the other, it should be you who takes care of me. You have run Newsday for many years and have a pivotal position in the neon newspaper industry. I am I still need to learn more from you in this regard.”

Lin Daoqiu's words were very nice. He directly raised Asai Ariza's status to a big shot in the neon newspaper industry from the very beginning. Although these words sounded very nice, Asai Ariza was also very happy to receive such praise from Lin Daoqiu, but I believe Arizawa Asai should know what the truth is.

If he was really an important figure in Neon's newspaper industry, he would not have thought of selling Newsday, because it would be difficult for him to continue to support the operation of this newspaper.

However, since Lin Daoqiu praised Asai Arisa in this way, Asai Arisa had to return the courtesy compliment.

"Mr. Lin is really honored. The status of "Newsday" today is due to the efforts of colleagues in the newspaper. I actually didn't do anything, but I have heard a lot about Mr. Lin's deeds before, and Lin If you compare me to this, sir, I am nothing at all. Speaking of which, I really envy you."

What Ariza Asai said is all the truth, because in his opinion, no one in the neon film industry has been able to achieve or come close to the achievements achieved by Lin Daoqiu at this age.

Even Arisawa Asai feels that no one will be able to achieve Lin Daoqiu's achievements and status in the future, because this is a feat that has never been achieved before or since.

Just one "Godzilla" is enough for Lin Daoqiu to leave his name in the history of Neon movies for future generations to worship. If Lin Daoqiu is a Neon man, then he will definitely be known as a Neon man. There is no doubt that he is the father of special effects movies, but unfortunately he is not.

"Every walk of life has its own outstanding talents. There is no need to compare with each other. One of the purposes of my coming to Neon this time is to open a branch of "Readers Times". Now my purpose has been achieved. Half, the other half now is to let Readers Times gain a firm foothold in Neon..."

"Mr. Asai, you are a veteran in the newspaper industry, and Newsday is also a very influential newspaper in Neon. If possible, I hope you can come and help me. What do you think?"

Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Asai Arizawa suddenly froze in place. Lin Daoqiu was not here to talk to him about the acquisition of "Newsday" today, so why did he suddenly want to recruit him? What on earth is this? What's going on?
