Chapter 200 Kate as a Peacemaker
Although Jin Yong's novels are well written, he is not the kind of eloquent person.
Without going around with Zhang Lang, he started by greeting him and said his purpose, "Zhang Sheng, I don't know if you have time. I'll treat you to afternoon tea..."
"Well... OK! Then let's see you in Peninsula Hotel in the afternoon!" Zhang Lang hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed.
He has always had ideas about Ming Pao.
In the last life, Jin Yong sold Ming Pao to Yu Pinhai in 1992.
In this life, Zhang Liang has been waiting for the opportunity to take Ming Pao into his pocket.
Under the leadership of Jin Yong, Mingpao is a clear spring in the turbid current.
Ming Pao focuses on editorials and takes the route of seeking truth and being pragmatic, and never reports gossip news or pornographic news.
It has a great influence among the intellectuals in Xiangjiang.
It is one of the most credible newspapers in Xiangjiang.
Zhang Lang knew almost what he knew about Jin Yong suddenly looked for him and hesitated and refused to say on the phone.
With Zhang Lang’s current status, if Jin Yong had something to ask for, he really couldn’t say it on the phone.
Jin Yong is just not good at speaking, not that he does not understand the worldly ways.
"Boss, Baron Kate is here!" Shi Lina came in to report.
"Please come in..."
Zhang Lang said as he stood up to greet him.
The Governor still has to give his face.
"Haha! Zhang Sheng, take the initiative to disturb..." Baron Kate walked in with a laugh.
"Welcome to Baron Kate to fight..." Zhang Lang laughed and stretched out his hands.
After getting Baron Kate to the reception area, "His Excellency Baron, have tea or coffee?"
"Come on a cup of tea! I like China's Longjing tea!
I am here today to thank Zhang Sheng for his strong support in the matter of Jiulong City.
In addition, seeing that Zhang Sheng is busy, he asked his family to transport a few good horses to Xiangjiang for Zhang Sheng to choose from!"
"Supporting government work is what we businessmen should do, and you also know that my wife is a doctor, and there is a Fude Hospital in mainland Hong Kong...
I have always wanted to open another large charity hospital in Xiangjiang.
A charity hospital specializing in serving poor citizens who cannot afford to see a doctor.
Speaking of which, I also want to thank the Governor for being able to make this happen.
Otherwise, it would be really not easy to find such a suitable place in Xiangjiang!"
"Zhang Sheng, in your Chinese language, you are really a bodhisattva's heart!"
“Haha, thank you for the compliment, but I prefer the word mercy!
In our China, there are two beliefs: Buddhism and Taoism. I am a Taoist descendant, so I cannot be described as the heart of a Bodhisattva." Zhang Lang explained with a loud laugh.
"Ah! Sorry, I don't know, it turns out that Zhang Sheng is a Taoist heir..." Baron Kate quickly apologized.
In foreign countries, faith is a very serious matter. Once faith is involved, you will be very cautious.
"Fortune refers to the gods and gods in our Chinese Taoist myths and legends, and the righteous gods of blessings and virtues.
The God of Fortune is the patron saint of my Fortune Group.
My Fortune Group is also a believer of Fortune God, and is the spokesperson for Fortune God walking on the earth!" Zhang Lang explained seriously.
"Zhang Sheng, I came here this time. In addition to the above two things, there is another thing that is also entrusted by someone..." Although Baron Kate had an inexplicable likes Zhang Lang for the Ford Group, he was a Christian and did not want to discuss the issue of faith with Zhang Lang, so he changed the topic.
"oh?"
"The Sun, I know that he offended Zhang Sheng, even if he went bankrupt, he deserved it, but... you know, our Kate family is not in a good situation now and needs support...
I wonder if Zhang Sheng can give him face and let the Sun go!”
The Sun is one of the most popular newspapers in the UK and one of the most infamous.
The Sun and Ming Pao are in contrast to the newspaper-running policy. The Sun's method of reporting news is rough, unprofessional, and is not neutral. It often uses sensational techniques to stimulate sales. The readers of the target are basically people with limited academic qualifications and knowledge, which meets people's low-level needs.
For news clues, the Sun paid money to bribe the police, eavesdropped on and tracked everything.
The most famous Sun's "Three-Page Girl", refers to the Sun's third-page girl. It was originally just a photo of a famous model, but later it turned into a ** that appeared every day.
"Baron Kate, your family's rise cannot pin hopes on a notorious business like News Corp.
If you actually need financial support, you can find me!
If you need support in your business, you can also find me!
On the contrary, if you get too close to a company like News Corporation, it will have a bad impact!" Zhang Lang did not respond to Baron Kate's words, but instead persuaded Baron Kate to stay away from News Corporation.
"Zhang Sheng, thank you for your support. Maybe you don't understand the strength of the Merckdo family...
I'm also doing your own good, it's not good for anyone if it's a big deal!"
"Haha, so what? Isn't it just that there are a few newspapers and TV stations.
Isn’t it just that there is no bottom line in doing news?
If he dares to speak nonsense, I will teach him how to speak!" Zhang Lang said disdainfully.
The Merckdo family is not the family of media tycoons in later generations.
Not to mention now, even in later generations, News Group has a market value of 40 billion US dollars and a personal asset of 10 billion US dollars, Zhang Lang can't see it.
To put it bluntly, the bonus he paid to Ye Xiaoxian and his team was higher than Merck's.
"Zhang Sheng, there is an old Chinese saying that harmony is the most important thing..." Baron Kate wanted to continue to persuade.
"Baron Kate, don't worry about the Sun anymore. You can't care. The Merckdo family wants to fight, so let's try it!" Zhang Lang waved his hand and interrupted Baron Kate's words.
Baron Kate's peacemaker was very failed. Not only did it not work, but it made Zhang Lang make up his mind to deal with the Sun first.
Kill the monkey to scare the chicken.
Seeing that Zhang Lang was impatient, Baron Kate did not dare to continue persuading him.
Whether he, as the governor, can be regarded as a stable governor, depends entirely on Zhang Lang's support.
He would rather offend the Merckdo family than offend Zhang Lang.
One can only give him some trouble, and the other is that he really wants to die.
How to choose?
No need to choose at all.
I must stand on Zhang Lang's side.
"Haha, when will the little foal arrive in Xiangjiang?" Zhang Lang smiled and changed the subject. He didn't want Baron Kate to be too embarrassed.
After all, I get along with Baron Kate now, and Baron Kate is also a tactful person.
Zhang Lang didn't want to change to the governor.
There are still twelve years before Xiangjiang returns, so Xiangjiang will be replaced by the governor, or in a state of no governor.
The country will not agree.
Stabilizing and stable handover are what domestic expectations are.
"It's almost there, I'll be in Xiangjiang in another week or so!
Chapter completed!
