Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 38: New Evening News Sales No. 1 (First update, please collect, read, and vote)

Many people did not sleep that night, and many writers in Hong Kong suffered from insomnia. The salary was 30,000 per episode, and two episodes were filmed a day, which meant 60,000.

Sixty thousand!
Six hundred thousand in ten days!
Six million in one hundred days.

Tian Jiahui also suffered from insomnia. It was too scary how much money Li Song made. However, Tian Jiahui comforted himself: This might not have been written by Li Song. Yes, he was just a little kid and didn’t know shit!

Li Song was also a little excited, but only for a moment.

Then continue to bury your head in writing.

The next morning, Li Song woke up and just went out when he heard the newspaper vendor shouting, "Come and buy the New Evening News! Ghost Blows Out the Light has a 10,000-word installment today!"

"Come and buy it, it's free to buy more."

Li Song saw many people buying newspapers, so he bought one too and found that there was an extra newspaper.

With one more newspaper, there are also many more advertisements.

"Tsk tsk, the New Evening News is so conscientious."

"Didn't the New Evening News say it was celebrating Beipai Sanshu selling the TV drama copyright?"

"You're wrong. Uncle Sanshu from the Northern School is still the best. He writes 4,000 words a day and even adds more."

"Yes, I'm going to call and ask the New Evening News to continue adding more chapters."

"Yeah yeah!"

This was actually Li Song's idea. Although there were more chapters, there was an extra newspaper and more advertisements.

This is actually similar to the routine of free novels, with a lot of advertisements in the large chapters.

No one loses out, not even the New Evening News, and not even Li Song himself.

Moreover, the New Evening News will have a big move during the Chinese New Year, which is to add more chapters every day from the Spring Festival to the Lantern Festival.

In the era of online literature, adding more chapters is the most sincere way of expression, and it has a great effect in this era.

When Li Song passed by after buying groceries and having dinner, the newspapers were sold out. The old man who sold the newspapers kept apologizing to the people who came to buy them, while cursing the printing factory for failing, the New Evening News for failing, and himself for failing to prepare more.

Li Song returned home and continued to do his own thing.

In the evening, ATV News reported a piece of news: On January 3, 1980, the sales volume of the New Evening News officially reached the first place in Hong Kong Island, and praised the New Evening News as the most conscientious newspaper, increasing the quantity without raising the price.

Moreover, in the news, the editor-in-chief of the New Evening News announced that the New Evening News will add new chapters of the Ghost Blows Out the Light novel every day from the Spring Festival to the Lantern Festival.

He also said that the New Evening News received more than 3,000 calls today and apologized for those calls that were not answered.

"Shameless!"

"It's a double act!" The boss of TVB was so angry after watching the interview with the editor-in-chief of the New Evening News.

Other newspapers had the same idea when they saw this news, but unfortunately, they had nothing to offer.

Countless reporters in Hong Kong wanted to interview this Beipai Sanshu, and some even used private detectives, because some of the things written by Beipai Sanshu made some people believe that the author had a high level of attainment in Feng Shui.

Although it is stated in the daily novel series that any similarities in the novel's plot are purely coincidental, anyone who knows a little bit about the business knows that this thing is probably true.

But people in this business don’t tell others about it.

However, even in the New Evening News, only a few people knew Li Song's true identity. Now that Li Song was so famous, these people dared not disclose it.

If Li Song sues me, I will be in big trouble.

And there is also a newspaper company, and the directors of the newspaper company are no pushovers.

January 4, 1980, Friday, Yangcheng. Yangcheng leaders, the head of a mysterious department in Yangcheng, Ma Shengli, the old man from the Science and Technology Commission, Liu Qing, Zhang Jianshe from the Oriental Hotel, and Section Chief Zhou.

"Leader, the materials we sent to Kyoto have been verified by experts from multiple departments working overtime and holding meetings overnight. The technology should be real. The next step is to conduct intensive laboratory experiments."

"It is estimated that it will take half a month to get the results. This time I received a task from my superiors to maintain contact and communication with Mr. Li Song." The head of a mysterious department said.

Upon hearing this, the Yangcheng leader nodded and asked, "Didn't anyone send anyone to Hong Kong Island?"

"The higher authorities are also somewhat skeptical about this. Mr. Li Song is young, but he can come up with something like this. I wonder who is behind this?"

"The situation in Hong Kong Island has been very complicated for decades. If we send someone to investigate, it might attract other people's attention. After all, there are so many spies from various countries in that place."

"So the higher authorities are going to wait and see."

"Besides, why would they push a teenager like this to do these things? Wouldn't it be better to find someone older?"

"Also, Li Song has a mainland accent, so we suspect he's from mainland China."

Hearing this, Zhang Jianshe asked, "Could it be because Li Song has a simple background? After all, he's just a teenager, so no one would pay attention to him."

"Even if someone knew Li Song's identity, there would be no way to investigate. If he was older, there would definitely be some traces left behind, relatives, friends, or family members?"

"Huh! This is very likely." The Yangcheng leader nodded.

As long as you want to investigate someone, there is always a way to find him, but a teenager like this would leave very few traces, and if he went to the mainland, there would be even fewer, making it easier for the person behind the scenes to escape.

"So, do we need to protect Mr. Li Song's safety?" Ma Shengli asked.

Zhang Jianshe shook his head: "We need to protect you, but we need to be careful about how we do it. We must not let the people behind Li Song think we have other motives. If they realize something is wrong, then they will stop providing anything to Li Song, and even Li Song will be useless."

"Yeah." Ma Shengli nodded.

In fact, Ma Shengli was a little selfish. After all, Li Song was received by the Science and Technology Commission. The more useful the things Li Song brought out now, the greater his own contribution would be. Within the system, it was nonsense to say that he didn't want to be promoted.

"Li Song's situation is quite complicated, so other units will not be allowed to intervene. You, Lao Ma, will be responsible for the future liaison. Next time we stay in a hotel, you, Lao Zhang, please be careful. After all, there are many people in the hotel and many eyes are around." The Yangcheng leader said again.

"Yes!"

"We will ensure the completion of the mission." Ma Shengli and Zhang Jianshe immediately nodded.

"Let's wait for half a month. We can discuss it again after we have the results. Next time we need to find out Li Song's address in Hong Kong Island." The Yangcheng leader said again.

"Ok!"

"As for Li Song's proposal to build a factory, you should give it some thought, Old Ma. Next time Li Song comes, ask him what he thinks."

"Yes."

"Okay, didn't Li Song say that the drawings would be ready in a month? Let's wait and see..." The Yangcheng leader waved his hand and said.

Li Song in Hong Kong Island actually wants this effect. These people in Hong Kong Island think they are the gloves of the mainland, while the mainland thinks they are the gloves of certain people in the international community.

As long as the benefits are big enough, these people will not investigate themselves.

And by the time they wanted to investigate me, many things were already impossible to check. For example, if I was being watched as soon as I arrived in Hong Kong Island, then it would be difficult to deal with.

Now someone wants to investigate me, but a large group of people disagree. Besides, there is no surveillance in today's society, and all traces of me after coming to Hong Kong Island have long disappeared.

Now that they have vested interests in the mainland, the New Evening News, and ATV, these people naturally want to protect themselves.

"Huh? Old Tian is here?" Li Song was writing a manuscript at home when the doorbell rang. He opened the door and saw that it was Tian Jiahui.

"Mr. Li, the company's relevant procedures have been completed. You can apply for a change of the current registered address after you rent a place. Otherwise, you will have to pay money every year." Tian Jiahui was also respectful and cautious towards Li Song.
