A century-old wealthy family that rose from Shanghai

Chapter 130 1929 years

Time flies, and it is already 1929.

In a room at the Oriental Newspaper Office, Chen Guangliang was followed by more than 30 reporters who were receiving training.

"There are four phones in this room, dedicated to accepting news submissions and tips. Our reporters are on call 24 hours a day. Because, often in the dark, society's darkest side emerges—violence, pornography, crime. As journalists, we have a responsibility to peel back the moonlight's veneer. These are always the topics that matter most to people."

At this time, he was teaching these journalists that any means should be used for the sake of news.

Of course, getting the news is one thing, but whether or not to publish it in the newspaper needs to be decided by the editorial team. For some sensitive matters, the newspaper naturally has to weigh the pros and cons.

At least if there is direct negative information about the "three major gangsters", it is better not to publish it in the newspaper; but if it is a crime scene of the Qing Gang, it can be published as well, just don't mention "Qing Gang", and replace it with "gangster".

A reporter asked, "Manager Chen, how can people be on call 24 hours a day?"

Chen Guangliang smiled generously and said, "You seem to be in your 20s. Have you achieved financial freedom?"

The reporter then asked: "What is financial freedom?"

Chen Guangliang replied: "That means not worrying about money."

The reporter replied: "Then of course we haven't achieved financial freedom."

Chen Guangliang began to paint a picture, saying, "Since that's the case, since we're still young, why not work hard for this goal? So what if you're on call 24 hours a day? If you develop the skills to become a 'reporter king,' wealth will naturally follow. Journalists make their living from news, but news doesn't automatically come to you. Let me give you an example. I know a certain female celebrity who eloped with a young man at the age of sixteen. Now she's a big star, while the young man has been kicked out. Just think about it, how much news can be dug up and fabricated? When citizens see news like this, how can they not take a second look?"

One reporter actually said, "Isn't it immoral to dig into people's privacy?"

Chen Guangliang bluntly stated, "If you want morality, just ignore what I said today. But if you want a bright future, financial freedom, then put morality aside and work hard to uncover the truth about this world! That's what journalists should do!"

The vast majority of reporters listened and were very excited!

A very small number of people will figure it out sooner or later.

They are all local journalists in Shanghai and its surrounding areas, and play an important role in the news content of Oriental Daily.

As for national news, and even overseas news, the only way to get it is to purchase it. Of course, as long as the Oriental Daily maintains a stable circulation of over 20,000 copies, we will naturally arrange for stations in major cities across the country.

Chen Guangliang provided each reporter with a bicycle to facilitate their arrival at the scene. In special circumstances, they could also use cars to reach the scene.

After training the reporters, Chen Guangliang returned to his office.

Recently, he has devoted half of his energy to the Oriental Newspaper.

At this time, Huang Chunsun walked into his office and reported, "Manager Chen, the sales of the Commercial Daily have recently increased by a full 2,000 copies. I'm afraid that when the Oriental Daily is first published, it will reach 10,000 copies."

The original "Business Daily" maintained a sales volume of 5,000 to 6,000 copies a day. After Chen Guangliang took over for a little over a month, sales began to increase.

First, the layout was changed. The Business Daily also adopted the "digest article" format and gave up the length of the long article. Secondly, the scope was expanded. Not only were new reporters added, but news was also purchased.

Chen Guangliang looked up and said, "A week before the launch of Oriental Daily, we placed an advertisement in Commercial Daily: first, to promote Oriental Daily, and second, to announce that Commercial Daily would return to being a commercial newspaper."

As a result, the momentum of the Business Daily may be interrupted again.

Huang Chunsun said, "Why don't we allocate some funds and invite business and economic talents to save the Commercial Daily?"

He is considered a "three-generation veteran". He was the director of the advertising department of the "Business Daily" during Fang Jiaobo's period, and a partner and assistant manager during Hong Yanbin's period. Now he has also been entrusted with an important task by Chen Guangliang and serves as executive assistant manager.

Chen Guangliang decisively said, "No, we will put all our energy into Oriental Daily. As long as Oriental Daily succeeds, it will be easy to feed back to Commercial Daily in the future. If we get distracted from the beginning, we might not be able to take care of both things at the same time."

"I understand," Huang Chunsun said decisively.

Only then did he understand how powerful this young man was. He could just give up on a newspaper with tens of thousands of copies sold.

You know, if their sales volume could have reached tens of thousands, they would not have sold the Business Daily.

"dong dong"

"Come in"

The person who came in was a reporter, about 27 or 28 years old, and had been in the industry for three or four years.

"Reporter Wang, what do you want?"

Wang Chunhua glanced at Huang Chunsun, then said, "Boss, can I follow up on that female celebrity news material you just mentioned?"

Seeing this man's understanding, Chen Guangliang readily said, "Okay, but I can only remind you that the female celebrity I'm talking about is Ruan Lingyu. Also, I have a few requirements for this story: First, the target should be Ruan Lingyu's boyfriend, not a weak woman. Second, since you've volunteered, the company will provide you with a camera and an assistant reporter. If you can capture good footage, we'll publish it in the Oriental Daily News when it launches."

In order to boost the sales of Oriental Daily News, he was willing to be the bad guy and even resorted to the paparazzi tactics. Of course, this was also to help Ruan Lingyu end the relationship early.

When Wang Chunhua heard this, he quickly said, "Thank you, boss, for your cultivation."

He just wanted to do something big now, so he mustered up the courage to ask his boss for information.

After Wang Chunhua left, Chen Guangliang said to Huang Chunsun, "Everyone likes to watch the excitement, especially when celebrities are making noise. That's why this kind of news is called 'gossip news.' It's one of the best sources of news." Huang Chunsun sighed and said, "I've learned a lesson."

From the very beginning, everyone knew that Chen Guangliang was more like a businessman than a newspaper publisher.

In the evening, Chen Guangliang returned home and had dinner with his family. His second uncle and his family were also there.

Chen Guangliang took the opportunity to say, "Second uncle, second aunt, our family will be moving to Happy Home on the 9th of this month."

He rented the floor invested by his good friend Zhu Guangsheng, paying a transfer fee of 600 yuan and a monthly rent of 50 yuan.

Because Zhu Guangsheng, as a grain merchant, had purchased a two-story Western-style building with the idea of ​​investment in mind.

After hearing this, Yang Qingshan said, "Okay, this is a good thing. After all, there is no water or electricity here, so it's not suitable for a big boss like you to live in."

Although his nephew told him suddenly, he didn't think it was strange.

Instead, my second aunt said reluctantly, "Isn't your western-style building going to be completed this year? Why are you still renting a house?"

She tried her best to let her daughter serve her cousin, but half a year passed and the nephew refused to touch her daughter. It seemed that she could not enjoy the wealth and glory anymore.

Chen Guangliang replied, "After the construction is completed, the Happy Home will be yours to live in."

Currently, Yang Qingshan is in charge of the 'Commodity Wholesale Department', with a monthly salary of 60 taels (not more than He Xiangdong), and he also invests in rickshaws, receiving a monthly dividend of 40 taels; his second aunt is in charge of cooking 'work meals' at the Changjiang Car Dealership, with a monthly salary of 40.

The family does not need money to live. Chen Guangliang's mother Yang Hui provides some support for meat and vegetables, and Chen Guangliang pays the tuition for the two children.

So, Chen Guangliang is still very good to his second uncle's family and has not forgotten his roots!
They moved into the "small Western-style building" in March and April this year, and naturally they would not forget their second uncle's family, who happened to live in the house they were currently renting.

When my second aunt heard this, she immediately laughed and said, "I never dreamed that there would be such a day. I'm afraid your second uncle and I can't even afford the rent with our income!"

Yang Qingshan immediately glared at his wife, meaning that you said this because you are not satisfied with your salary?
My second aunt quickly added, "I mean, the rent there is very expensive, right?"

Chen Guangliang smiled and said, "I pay the rent annually, and I'll pay it for you in the future. Don't worry, just supervise Xiuying and Xiaohu's studies. I'm also counting on these younger brothers and sisters to come and help me one day."

We are all family, and if someone has some ability, he or she will definitely be entrusted with important tasks.

Yang Qingshan immediately said to his children, "Did you hear that?"

"heard it"

Compared with his cousins ​​Yang Xiuying and Yang Xiaohu, Chen Guangliang certainly loves his own younger brother Chen Guangcong more.

However, Chen Guangcong also has something that gives Chen Guangliang a headache. This kid is obedient and good at studying, but he is timid and introverted.

Compared with Yang Xiuying and Yang Xiaohu, they are more like city kids. Although they are poor, they have seen the world. Although Chen Guangcong has a rich brother, this brother seems to be very strict, which makes his character not enough.

Thinking of this problem, Chen Guangliang said, "In addition to making up for the lessons and studying during this winter vacation, Guangcong, you can go to the rickshaw repair shop and help out. Learn how to repair rickshaws from them and gain some experience. Merely studying won't do!"

Anyway, he is almost fifteen years old, so let him take time to go to the car dealership to learn and get in touch with people in society.

Chen Guangcong agreed without even thinking: "Yes, big brother!"

Nowadays, Changjiang Car Dealership often needs repairs and maintenance because some of its vehicles are old.

Learning this basic skill is also a skill.

At night, Yang Qingshan and his wife slept in bed.

"From now on, don't try to convince Xiuying to become her cousin's concubine!"

The wife immediately said: "What are you talking about? What's wrong with being Guangliang's concubine? He has built such a huge family business in just two years. There is no hope of becoming the main wife, and we can't be a concubine either. We were good to him in the beginning, so we should consider this favor, right?"

Yang Qingshan immediately lectured him, "That's the wrong mentality you have. If you keep going like this, Guangliang will really hate us. I've already said I don't like Xiuying, so don't try to match her up with me. If you want to use the past to blackmail her, you won't even be able to be relatives anymore. I think you should just go live in Fangua!"

The wife was startled and said quickly, "Is he really so heartless?"

Yang Qingshan glared at his wife fiercely and said, "They haven't been nice enough to us yet, and you're the one trying to push it further. Don't be annoying, understand?"

This finally scared my wife.

"Oh, I won't get involved in it anymore!"

In a few months, I will be able to live in a villa. Just thinking about it makes me happy.

What's more, now their family can save hundreds of dollars every month, and their lives are getting better and better.

So, don’t do things that annoy others.

If a man can control his lower body in the past six months, it fully demonstrates that he is not interested in this woman, so my second aunt felt relieved after thinking about it. Although she can no longer enjoy the great glory and wealth, she still has to keep the small glory and wealth.
