Hong Kong Variety Show: Let you eat melons, eat melons on your sister-in-law

Chapter 25 The impact of the magazine "25" and the door-to-door urging
Lin Yao’s traffic diversion was quite effective, and the 8,000 copies of the magazine that were subsequently printed were quickly sold out.

By the way, the magazine "Jianghu" also began to circulate among many people.

The first is the people from Liansheng.

Everyone in Liansheng knows that Lin Yao is the old man of them and Liansheng.

It's natural to support a magazine run by one of our own.

But they were soon attracted by the "A Step into the Past" copied by Lin Yao.

Then a strange spectacle appeared: a group of gangsters who could never concentrate on studying, after work every day, would just hold a magazine and read it.

Either watch the above-mentioned "A Step into the Past" or observe Fei Quan's deeds of rising to power, and then make yourself excited.

Many people in the community saw this business opportunity, especially those of the uncles’ generation.

He couldn't bring himself to go to Lin Yao, so he came to Longgen to beg for money.

Normally these bastards would just come to the stall to ask for IOUs, but now seeing that his subordinate Lin Yao has made the two magazines so successful, they also come to ask for money.

This immediately made Long Gen furious: "Fuck you, normally when I ask you for help, you don't even show up, and now that there's something good going on you're all trying to get ahead of me. Do you still have any dignity left?"

Long Gen has a hot temper and a high seniority in the society. He never shows mercy to these people when he speaks.

After speaking in plain words, the uncles from these societies also looked unhappy.

Fortunately, at this time, Deng Bo suddenly spoke up and said to Long Gen, "Alright, you're out here to make money. If you see something good, you jump on it. Isn't that what gangsters do? What's so strange about that? There's no need to react so strongly, right?"

Then Uncle Deng turned to the other uncles and said, "You guys are the same. You always refuse when I ask you for help, but now you're trying to take advantage of the situation. No one has such a good temper. Besides, this is the younger generation's property, you should also consider your own dignity!"

"The younger generation hasn't even developed yet, and you're all trying to get some benefits. Aren't you a little impatient?"

After being beaten up by Uncle Deng, the uncles from several societies had no choice but to leave in disgrace.

Then Deng Bo said to Long Gen, "What's going on with Lin Yao? Why does he seem to have suddenly become enlightened?"

Long Gen spread his hands speechlessly: "How should I know this? But this kid has been following me since he was fifteen or sixteen! There must be no problem!"

Uncle Deng picked up the magazine. He didn't look at "A Journey to the West" but instead fixed his gaze on Fei Quan's cover. He smiled and said, "This "Jiang Hu" magazine is really well done! If it can succeed, it will be like monopolizing our right to speak in the community."

Long Gen frowned and said, "Is it really that exaggerated? Isn't it an exaggeration?"

"Humph!" Deng Bo sneered and said, "Sometimes, words can kill people! You'll know later!"

"Please make an appointment for Lin Yao to come to my place for a cup of tea when he is free."

Long Gen was a little surprised: "Are you planning to train this kid?"

"That's the idea!" Uncle Deng said after taking a sip of tea, "The club can't be led by a brainless person. We have to choose a smart person!"

Long Gen said with some worry, "But Lin Yao doesn't seem to have any intention of getting involved in the social organization business! Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone out alone to report the news."

Deng Bo said as a matter of course: "Then we must tie him down, otherwise what if he leaves us and flies away on his own?"

"You think the oath you took is fake? Once you join the club, you're a member for life!"

Hearing what Deng Bo said, a trace of worry flashed in Long Gen's eyes.

……

At the same time, West Kowloon Crime Unit.

In the Inspector General's office, Dong Biao was reading "Jianghu" magazine.

I was immediately attracted by "A Step into the Past".

But at this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door, and then Raymond rushed in.

"Sir!" Dong Biao immediately hid the magazine and saluted Raymond.

Raymond said angrily, "How dare you secretly read a magazine at work!" Dong Biao immediately defended himself aggrievedly, "Sir, I'm not being lazy, I'm working seriously!"

"A serious job?" Raymond was a little surprised.

Dong Biao took out the magazine directly, turned to the first page, handed it to Raymond and said, "Take a look at this!"

"Hong Le Feiquan, is he the kid who's been making a big splash on the underworld lately?" Raymond asked curiously, "What kind of magazine is this, and why is it reporting on him?"

Dong Biao smiled and said, "Jiang Hu magazine. We know the editor-in-chief of this magazine. It's Lin Yao, who reported on the Chen Jiaju incident!"

Raymond immediately remembered: "Which kid has the capital to start a business so quickly?"

Dong Biao quickly said to Raymond, "Commander, I think Lin Yao is a real talent. He wasn't too opposed to me asking him to be an informant. I think we can use him to get some information from the society!"

Hearing Dong Biao's words, Raymond's eyes suddenly lit up: "I have an idea!"

"Great minds think alike!" Dong Biao immediately flattered him. "If we can make good use of this kid, our West Kowloon Police Station's crime-solving rate will skyrocket, and those local gangsters won't pose a threat at all!"

"From now on, we have to feed them so that they can have a bite to eat! Otherwise, they will starve to death!"

"As long as we have the key intelligence, we don't have to worry about these societies getting angry!"

Hearing this idea, Raymond pointed out the key problem: "The most important question is, how can we ensure that he won't sell the police intelligence?"

"This... requires a big shot like you to come and talk to him in person!" Dong Biao easily passed the blame to Raymond.

After all, as a leader, you always have to take the blame for your subordinates.

Aren’t I the one who’s cleaning up that bastard Chen Jiaju’s mess all day long?
Raymond hesitated for a moment, then said to Dong Biao: "Okay, then ask him to come back and talk. Remember to be polite!"

Although Raymond looks young, he is very experienced and cautious in doing things.

Otherwise, even if he had a background, it would be impossible for him to become the Chief Superintendent of Police at such a young age.

"Yes, sir!" Dong Biao said immediately and loudly.

After seeing Raymond off, Dong Biao picked up the phone and dialed the number of Lin Yao Magazine.

But no matter how many times Dong Biao called, the magazine's phone was always busy.

"Oh, it seems that I have to go there in person!" Dong Biao was a little helpless. He changed into ordinary clothes and drove directly to Jianghu Magazine.

……

These past two days, the entire Jianghu magazine has been extremely busy.

The magazine was originally quite small, and apart from the two editors, Lin Yao and Yang Siwen, everyone else was just doing odd jobs.

For example, working as a switchboard operator, serving tea and water, processing manuscripts, proofreading, etc.

But no one expected that the new magazine "Jianghu" would sell so well.

Distributors have been pressing for a second issue of the magazine.

There are also requests for updates, countless requests for updates came in like a tide.

Lin Yao had no way to refuse this sweet trouble. The more people asked for updates, the more popular the magazine would be.

So the magazine staff spent most of their time working as call takers.

Even when it gets busy, Lin Yao and Yang Siwen both have to go on stage in person.

There's no way around it; this is the downside of running a small magazine.

However, Lin Yao did not expect that someone would come to urge him to update his work, and the person who came to urge him to update his work was a big shot.
