In the era of fetal wear, she became the first socialite in Hong Kong
Chapter 111: Xinmeng Newspaper
Fu Ziyan is also steadily moving towards the peak of her career, heading towards the top of the mountain to experience the legendary "it's lonely at the top".
Now, she is going to Xinmeng Newspaper to inspect the newspaper's current situation and meet with the editor-in-chief Zhang Boyue.
The commercial building where the Xin Meng Newspaper is located is at 253 Hennessy Road, Wan Chai. It has a total of 18 floors. The Xin Meng Newspaper is on the eighth floor, and the Xin Meng Publishing House is on the ninth floor.
Like the Xin Meng Newspaper, this commercial building is also owned by Fu Ziyan. It is one of the three buildings she bought when the pound depreciated in 1967.
The convoy slowly stopped in front of the building.
A moment later, the bodyguard of the first car got out, walked to the back door of the second car, and respectfully opened the door.
Fu Ziyan wore a slim-fitting dress with a beige lapel and black beading. She only wore a Patek Philippe haute couture watch on her wrist and no other jewelry.
She stepped out of the car gracefully, her posture elegant. Four bodyguards surrounded her, and her assistant, Meng Tiao, flanked her. She walked into the building and took the elevator directly to the eighth floor.
As soon as Zhang Boyue got the news, he went to the elevator to greet her, "Ms. Fu, it's my turn to meet you. Thank you for coming." He respected Fu Ziyan very much. There was nothing he could do about it, because she was the God of Wealth and the big boss of the newspaper.
The market wasn't doing well in those years, but thanks to Miss Fu's investment, the newspaper was saved from bankruptcy, and he was also saved from unemployment. Fortunately, he lived up to Miss Fu's trust, and within a few years of the investment, the newspaper quickly recovered and was poised to become one of the top newspapers in Hong Kong.
Fu Ziyan was also very satisfied with Zhang Boyue. The money she invested in this newspaper came entirely from her monthly pocket money. For her, it was just a small investment, but she was able to gain a newspaper that was about to become a first-tier newspaper. Such a surprise was thanks to Zhang Boyue, this capable man.
She spoke gently, "I haven't been to the newspaper office for a while, so I'd like to take this opportunity to come."
In Hong Kong, where land is at a premium, the Xin Meng Newspaper's office isn't small, occupying an entire floor of a building, a full 3,200 square feet. Glass doors divide it into a data room, the editor-in-chief's office, a large open office, and a tea and coffee lounge.
The large office is further divided into the editorial area, administrative area, and financial area. The editorial area includes the editors of the two publications, Huazhang Wenkan and Xinmeng Daily.
"Hua Zhang Wen Kan" was the magazine that initially attracted Fu Ziyan to invest. It published essays and novels and had a large base of old readers.
The Xin Meng Daily is not inferior. In fact, the Xin Meng Daily, named after the newspaper, is the newspaper's first publication. It is an entertainment newspaper that focuses on entertainment news and novel serials.
As Zhang Boyao entered the newspaper office, Fu Ziyan saw that in the large connected office, employees were busy coming and going, each doing their own job, answering calls, fiddling with cameras, printing faxes... They were so busy that they had no time to pay attention to her, the boss they rarely saw.
Fu Ziyan was quite satisfied with the employees' busy and orderly work, but she also emphasized the importance of combining work with rest to ensure their physical and mental health. She specifically instructed Zhang Boyue, "The newspaper is thriving, but employees' overtime pay and bonuses must not be reduced."
She is not a black-hearted capitalist!
He then turned his head and instructed Meng Tiao, "Call the Sweeter store and have them drive the ice cream truck over. Then contact Xu Ji and order afternoon tea for everyone."
Meng Tiao nodded, "Okay, Miss."
Zhang Boyue was so close that he couldn't have failed to hear it. He smiled and said, "Miss Fu, you're so thoughtful. It looks like we can all enjoy a feast today thanks to you."
With the weather so hot, most people would enjoy ice cream to cool down. However, not everyone is willing to eat ice cream; some people may not be able to eat something cold due to health reasons. This arrangement is a win-win for both parties, and Xu Ji's dim sum is not cheap.
Normally he wouldn't spend the money to buy Xu Ji's dim sum. It was only because his daughter pestered him to eat at Xu Ji's as a reward that he took his daughter there twice.
Thinking of this, Zhang Boyao smiled even more. He could take this afternoon tea home to his daughter. The little girl would definitely stick to him and praise him as the "best dad."
Fu Ziyan followed Zhang Boyue into the editor-in-chief's office, flipped through the sales report Zhang Boyue had brought, and praised him warmly, "You're running the newspaper very well. I'm very relieved."
Putting down the report in her hand, Fu Ziyan turned around and sat on the reception sofa, feet together, back straight, gestures elegant and calm, her expression still gentle, but her aura was fully revealed, "Now we can talk about the real reason you asked me to meet you."
Zhang Boyao's expression froze, and he spoke seriously, "Ms. Fu, I think we can start another fashion publication. A women's magazine focusing on fashion, beauty, health, and lifestyle."
Fu Ziyan's expression remained unchanged as she looked up at him, "You want to publish Hong Kong's first fashion magazine?"
"Yes."
"Show me the plan."
Zhang Boyue was delighted, knowing that Miss Fu was interested, and quickly handed over the documents.
Fu Ziyan lowered her head and read the plan without saying a word.
Zhang Boyue sat on the sofa opposite Fu Ziyan with a nervous heart. Fashion magazines had not yet been published by any newspaper in Hong Kong, so it was reasonable for Miss Fu to disagree.
After all, no one can predict whether being the first to stick out will lead to being shot or gaining the upper hand.
It seemed like an eternity had passed before Fu Ziyan's clear voice rang out, "Okay."
Zhang Boyue felt as if he was listening to the sound of nature and felt relieved.
In fact, Fu Ziyan was not as unwilling to be the first to take the lead as Zhang Boyue thought. When she heard Zhang Boyue talking about fashion publications, she knew that this would be the next trend, and her identity would be extremely convenient for the creation of a fashion magazine.
You'd be a fool to disagree!
"You can start recruiting. I'll have Meng Tiao introduce you to the luxury brand to discuss cooperation. I'll invest 300,000 yuan in this magazine upfront."
Zhang Boyue was overjoyed. Three hundred thousand was a lot! It was enough for him to set up a whole new team. With Miss Fu's connections, everything was ready. All he needed was the right momentum.
"Ms. Fu, don't worry. I will carefully select talents and will not let your investment go to waste."
Fu Ziyan smiled and said, "I believe you."
As soon as Fu Ziyan left the newspaper, Zhang Boyue became excited and started to busy himself with the establishment of the new magazine.
Miss Fu trusts him so much, he must not let her down!
There are many good horses, but there are few good horse trainers. Miss Fu is his good horse trainer.
Fu Ziyan left the newspaper office but did not leave the building. It was a rare opportunity for her to come here, so she had to go to the ninth floor to check on the situation of the publishing house.
She bought this publishing house after gradually investing in it until she acquired the Xinmeng Newspaper in full. She also bought a printing plant and a paper mill in order to form an industrial chain.
The publishing house also has business cooperation with Dianmao Company, which my father took over a few years ago.
Xinmeng Publishing House will publish the completed popular serial novels in "Xinmeng Daily" and "Huazhang Literary Magazine", such as "Today I Show You" and "Faith". These two novels are really well written, and Dianmao Company has signed the film and television copyright to make the wonderful excerpts into movies.
The box office was also very good, with the former earning 900,000 and the latter 1 million.
That was a million-dollar box office hit in 1969, making it Hong Kong's first million-dollar film. Although it was soon dethroned by "One-Armed Swordsman," which grossed 129 million, it was certainly widely reported in the newspapers at the time.
Probably because she was in a hurry to see Qiao'er today, Fu Ziyan just arrived at the publishing house and ran into them signing a film and television contract with Dianmao Company.
The scene was quite interesting. The editor-in-chief, legal affairs officer, and project manager of the publishing house all called her "Boss", while the person in charge and legal affairs officer of Dianmao Company also called her "Miss".
Fu Ziyan smiled and nodded, "Hello."
Unlike before, the contract signed this time is for a costume martial arts drama that will be remade into a TV series.
In 1967, Fu Qiyuan partnered with Shaw Brothers to bid for the wireless television broadcasting rights, establishing Hong Kong Television Broadcasting Company Limited, the infamous TVB that even Fu Ziyin knew. The costumed martial arts novel that Dianmao had signed on for was to be broadcast on TVB.
This was also the first contract Xinmeng Publishing House had signed for a TV adaptation, so it was of great significance, and Fu Ziyan had no intention of interrupting. Seeing that the editor-in-chief seemed interested in finding someone to replace her, she declined, "You go ahead and do your thing. I'll just take a look around."
Like the newspaper office downstairs, the employees of the publishing house also have their own responsibilities. Fu Ziyan also looked at a few financial reports and recent work summaries, then turned around and left with Meng Tiao.
When we left, the ice cream truck and afternoon tea arrived.
Since the newspaper employees had some, the publishing company employees would naturally have no shortage of copies. Meng Tiao was thorough and specifically asked for a few extra copies to be sent as backup, so the Dianmao employees who came to sign the film and television contract also had some.
Fu Ziyan heard the cheers of the employees inside.
"Yeah, it's Sweeter! I had it last time when I was shopping with my bestie. It was amazing. The only downside was that it was too expensive."
"Not only Sweeter, but also Xu Ji. The boss is generous!"
"Rumor has it, Sweeter is also owned by our boss!"
"Be gentle! The boss hasn't gone far yet. Hey, isn't Sweeter a chain brand from America?"
"One day, I went on a date with my girlfriend to Sweeter, and I heard the store manager call our boss 'Boss'!"
"Hiss!" He gasped. "From what I know, Sweeter has already opened several stores in various Southeast Asian countries. Such a large chain brand is actually owned by our boss!"
"I think our boss just turned fifteen. Tsk, when I was fifteen I was still working hard to get into Hong Kong University!"
Fu Ziyan couldn't hear more clearly. She just had more sensitive hearing, but she was not a "goddess" who could hear even after entering the elevator.
However, this alone was enough to make her secretly happy.
Hehe~ That’s right, she is Miss Fu who is great at investing!
The newspaper he invested in because of chasing updates is thriving, and the ice cream shop he invested in because he liked the taste of that ice cream while traveling has become popular from North America to Southeast Asia and is considered a big name in the ice cream industry.
Her financial luck seems to be maxed out, and she makes money on everything she invests in. No wonder her uncles in the business world praise her as "better than her master" and the second Midas Touch.
The first Midas touch was, of course, her father, a wealthy and wealthy man who seemed to be possessed by the "male protagonist of a male novel on Qidian". Before he recognized his daughter, the outside world said that Fu Qiyuan's only regret was that he had no wife and no children.
Therefore, there are many people who are secretly happy. No matter how perfect you are, you are still alone.
Then, they knew that Fu Qiyuan had acknowledged Fu Ziyan as his daughter.
Everyone: Just a girl!
Later, they discovered that Fu Ziyan, the only daughter adopted by Fu Qiyuan and loved by everyone, was not inferior to Fu Qiyuan in investment.
Everyone: Smiling on the surface, but MMP in the heart
It seems that two generations have been suppressed by Fu Qiyuan and his daughter, allowing them to dominate the world!
Fu Qiyuan and Fu Ziyan naturally knew what these uncles from big business families were thinking.
But who cares?
Well, Fu Ziyan hasn’t yet reached her father’s level of being unmoved and calm, but she is still very happy in her heart. However, she has not forgotten her father’s warning, “All the past is a prologue.”
Past successful investment experiences can be a prologue, but gossip you learned a few days ago cannot be a prologue.
Coming down the elevator from the publishing house, Fu Ziyan ran into Lin Yunya, who had just graduated from the University of Hong Kong this year and was here for an interview in this building.
Wearing a white V-neck shirt and a black skirt, with casual makeup and a Chanel 2.55 Flap bag in hand, she smiled and said, "Sister Fu, what a coincidence, you are here too!"
"Sister Lin, are you done with your work? Last time I mentioned inviting you out to play, but it's better to meet by chance than to invite you. Why don't you come with me to the snack shop for a bite to eat?"
The snack shop refers to the one invested by Fu Ziyan and run by Shi Ye. It is a shop that sells special snacks from all over China. There are many varieties and the taste is exquisite. Fu Ziyan herself also likes to eat at that shop.
Lin Yunya naturally nodded in agreement.
As soon as the lean meatballs with seaweed and shrimp skin were served, the steaming hot air spread to her cheeks, and Fu Ziyan's mood also became relaxed.
At this moment, there is only delicious food.
Lin Yunya has a high emotional intelligence and is very good at observing people's words and expressions. Seeing that Fu Ziyan was interested in the bowl of lean meatballs in front of her, she said nothing and just quietly savored the delicacy in front of her.
They almost finished eating at the same time. When Fu Ziyan got a tissue to wipe her mouth, she spoke, "I just had an interview for a secretary position at a foreign trade company on the 13th floor. I met a very strange interviewer. It really opened my eyes."
"He said to the man in front of me, 'Your height makes me uncomfortable, please leave.' He said to the girl in front of me, 'Your dress doesn't suit my taste, please leave.' Then, he pointed at my handbag and said, 'Your handbag is dangling in my eyes.'"
"There are only three people interviewing today. I doubt he wants to be interviewed at all."
Fu Ziyan was amused and suddenly remembered that Lin Yunya also grew up surrounded by luxury goods and majored in literature in college, which was quite suitable for the position in the fashion magazine that the newspaper was recruiting for.
So she made an invitation, "The newspaper under my name is going to launch a new fashion publication. If you are interested, Sister Lin, you can give it a try." Out of respect for Lin Yunya, Fu Ziyan did not ask for exemption from the interview.
Then he chuckled and teased her, "Don't worry, the interviewer this time will definitely be normal!"
Lin Yunya was also quite interested after hearing this. She grew up in a wealthy family and was good at writing. The work of a fashion magazine seemed tailor-made for her.
It doesn't matter how high or low her salary is. After all, she owns two buildings and shares in an instant noodle factory. The dividends and rent she receives every month are enough to live a life of ease and comfort.
But she works to integrate into society and realize her own life value, rather than living a mediocre life by collecting rent and dividends, then getting married and having children, and becoming mediocre.
"Then I would like to thank my future boss for his appreciation." Lin Junya smiled gently.
"I should thank Sister Lin for her strong support."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
