Chapter 43 Holding "Outside" magazine
After drinking morning tea, Shirley was taken to the entertainment center.
"This girl is so casual in doing things. I always feel bad." Michelle said worriedly as she watched Shirley drive away happily.
"You are worrying about it. What can such a big man do?" Zhang Shaoping said disapprovingly.
"How can I not worry? Her heart is too simple. She thinks about the romantic stories of Prince Charming all day long, and is easily deceived by feelings."
Zhang Shaoping hooked her shoulders and said with a smile: "According to what you say, you really have a sister who is like her! Is our pair romantic enough?"
"Be serious, people are worried." Michelle frowned and said worriedly: "Many people in the circle said that she met Xu Shaoqiang, who was famous and affectionate when filming "High Ghosts" in the first half of the year. For this surname of Xu, she even flew Arong. I was afraid that she would be ungrateful and moved to live with Xu Shaoqiang."
"Who is Arong? Just fly. I think Xu Shaoqiang is also pretty good, unruly and has a very personality. I believe this kind of man, you say he is romantic, but it is probably a bit too much to say that he is lucky." Zhang Shaoping analyzed.
Michelle showed off her eyebrows and asked, "You promised him? What happened to my sister, are you responsible?"
"Uh... I'm talking about the whole, that... there are exceptions in individual cases." Zhang Shaoping smiled. He wanted to slap himself, he was just a slut! He guaranteed that everything was good, but he couldn't guarantee that men would not abandon them all the time.
Mi Xue glared at him fiercely and snorted, "I work with Xu Shaoqiang at Qianli's TV station. I don't know what kind of character he is better than you? Arong, that is, Zhang Guorong, what a good person, I introduced them to him. Hui Mingfei flew Arong, she was so eye-catching... Hum! Hum!" After all, she couldn't say anything about the following words, so she snorted coldly and exposed them.
"What?! Zhang Guorong?" Zhang Shaoping was not calm when he heard this and said bluntly: "So, your sister is really ignorant and ungrateful! Arong, I understand it. Compared with me, they are all peerless men!"
Mi Xue gave him a blank look and said angrily: "Put on your face, you are a big radish in your heart. A Rong is a dedicated and innocent man. Can you compare with him? But——" She changed her tone and her eyes fell on Zhang Shaoping's face, and said: "Since you think A Rong is very good, I will give you a difficult task and find a way to get him back with my sister!"
This task is really difficult! Zhang Shaoping heard it and cramped his mouth and said stutteringly: "This... Arong is very good, but the forced melon is not sweet, that... Xu Shaoqiang can also consider it."
"What are you thinking about? Men are more romantic and not hateful. The most unacceptable thing is that they are frugal and ruthless! No one in the circle has heard of them. Xu Shaoqiang changes women more frequently than clothes, every month, and every year." Michelle said with a machine gun, "And he has his wife and children."
Being lucky and being ruthless is a big problem, but as for wives and children, it is not a problem at all! At least Zhang Shaoping thought so, and he complained in his heart: There were extramarital affair in this era, and there were more male and female stars than many protagonists in later generations. Now Lin Qingxia, Zhao Yazhi, Wang Mingquan, and Li Zi, Li Jiaxin, and Guan Zhilin behind them are all goddess-level.
No wonder Zhang Shaoping had this idea. The concept of Hong Kong in this era is completely opposite to the concept he is familiar with. If people like Huang Zhan and Ni Bang were probably sprayed to death in later generations, they would have been criticized for a long time, but in this era they are famous romantic talented men. No matter how extraordinary things they do, they can be understood as long as they are given the word "talented man".
Sometimes, Zhang Shaoping really doesn't understand. He said that the Hong Kong people were conservative at this time, and they were really conservative. Generally, most women would not spend the night at the man's house until they got married, and they could be said to be as open as jade. He said that they were open, and they were really open. Getting married, divorced, extramarital affairs, and having scandals were as simple as drinking water and eating. If you like it, you would love them boldly and not hide anything.
Therefore, Zhang Shaoping came to the conclusion that physical affair is difficult and soul affair is easy, but when the soul affair reaches a certain stage, physical affair is natural.
"Just agree, and leave this matter to you." Mi Xue didn't know that Zhang Shaoping was already wandering around at this time. Various thoughts flashed through his mind. Seeing that he didn't say anything, he said as if he agreed.
Waking up by the beauty's words, Zhang Shaoping could only swallow the bitter fruit, and said helplessly: "Okay, I'll try my best."
"It's not as much as possible, it's a must!"
"Longnu, you have to make some sense. Even if I convince Arong, your baby sister must nod! " Zhang Shaoping spread his hands and said that this situation is beyond help.
"The eighth sister listens to me the most, I will deal with her." Michelle said with confidence.
"I hope this is the case." Zhang Shaoping said weakly.
Zhang Shaoping is quite unpopular with this. If she really listened to you the most, she would not break up with Zhang Guorong, and you wouldn't know anything about it. She said that her elder brother lost his phone, and when someone with a discerning eye heard it, she knew that this was just a fool to you.
Of course, Zhang Shaoping would do what he promised Michelle seriously, but when he was about to find Zhang Rong, Chen Guanzhong from "Extraordinary" magazine came to the door first.
At Zongheng Investment Company, which settled in Central, Zhang Shaoping was receiving visiting Chen Guanzhong in his office.
Zhang Shaoping asked Chen Guanzhong to sit down, then poured him a cup of tea, and asked him for a while, saying, "Chen Sheng, the place is simple and it is not easy to receive. Please forgive me!"
Chen Guanzhong laughed and said, "Zhang Sheng is humble. Even if you can occupy a place in the Central Ring Road, even if it is a small corner, for me, your root hair is thicker than my thighs."
Zhang Shaoping smiled and said, "Haha, Chen Sheng, you are planning to praise first and then kill!"
"It's time to pull out the wool, of course you have to serve the fat sheep well before you can start." Chen Guanzhong said without changing his expression.
Zhang Shaoping said: "Chen Sheng, you are quite straightforward."
"I am a very easy person to get along with. Zhang Sheng is a cheerful person. I will just say cheerful words. To be more blunt, you should like Zhang Sheng more."
This person is interesting. He has no cultural and cultural disadvantages, but rather has the generousness of the turbulent world.
Zhang Shaoping said seriously: "Chen Sheng, since you have said this, why not say it more thoroughly. Zhang listened carefully."
Speaking of the important matter, Chen Guanzhong said without any ambiguity: "Zhang Sheng, I need to borrow your reputation as the fashion clothing in the Han and Tang Dynasties. You need to borrow our influence among the rich and famous people. Our cooperation between the two families is a perfect match, and each one takes what they need. I am right?"
Zhang Shaoping nodded and said, "That's right."
Chen Guanzhong suddenly changed his mind and asked seriously: "Didn't Zhang Sheng have any other ideas except for introducing a special edition in the magazine "Outside"?"
Zhang Shaoping was sure that he knew what he meant, but he still asked, "What about it?"
Chen Guanzhong said: "For example, invest money in "Extraordinary" magazine and make it bigger. As long as the funds are enough, I have the confidence to shape it into a fashion magazine mainly aimed at the "Yuppeers" of the middle and upper classes."
Zhang Shao smiled calmly and said, "In this way, will the huge influence of "Extraordinary" magazine in the cultural world gradually lose? What I value is its influence on celebrities rather than its profitability. Without influence, for me, it will lose its attractiveness. You won't know this, right?"
"But, magazines cannot stand just by relying on the attention of cultural celebrities. Otherwise, I wouldn't ask for help, just to earn some advertising fees." Chen Guanzhong said with a wry smile.
Zhang Shaoping thought for a while and said, "Do you think this is OK? "The Outside Magazine will do it as expected, so I will continue to inject funds."
Chen Guanzhong rolled his eyes and said bluntly: "Zhang Sheng, I run this magazine not to be a good person but not a seller. What's the use of a good reputation? It's just a loss-making business. If you want to, I'll transfer it to you, I'll take the money and then open a magazine for "Yumpi". Do you think this is OK?"
If you are not here, I want this magazine to be useless! With your fame, you can use it to attract magnetic power and wrap a group of celebrities in. This is the value of "Notification" magazine. Zhang Shaoping rejected Chen Guanzhong's proposal without thinking.
In order to keep Chen Guanzhong, Zhang Shaoping racked his brains to think about how to be both good. Suddenly, he slapped the coffee table with a "slap", and secretly scolded himself for being confused. But when he suddenly came like this, Chen Guanzhong was shocked and thought he was angry.
Chen Guanzhong said tensely: "Zhang Sheng, even if you don't agree with my proposal, there is no need to get angry, right?"
Zhang Shaoping also found that he had lost his composure and hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm rude! I was really rude just now! I was not dissatisfied with Chen Sheng, but I blamed myself for being confused and being stubborn. Since Chen Sheng was doing a big magazine career, why not just do it from the beginning?"
Seeing that it was a misunderstanding, Chen Guanzhong breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "How do you say this?"
"That's how I think, "Outside" magazine can be kept, and I will invest in another fund to open a fashion magazine for 'Yups'. In addition, I also want to establish a specialized magazine for women and men, as well as professional film and television magazines. I will leave all of these to you. What do you think?"
Zhang Shaoping finished speaking in one breath, then looked at Chen Guanzhong with anticipation.
Regarding Zhang Shaoping's amazing words, Chen Guanzhong not only lamented his madness, but also lamented his ignorance. Faced with such a fanatical layman, Chen Guanzhong raised some words and said tactfully: "Zhang Sheng's ambition is admirable, but Rome was not built in one day. It takes time and talent to successfully open a magazine. It is very expensive before opening the market."
Zhang Shaoping smiled and said, "At the high building is rising from the ground, we can build a shelf first, step by step, and build it slowly. After a year of operation, we can naturally open up the road. As for the characteristics, it is easy to handle. There is "Playboy" in the United States, and we can also make a Hong Kong version, and we don't have to be as explicit as it is, and it can be slightly accepted by the Chinese. In short, we learn from foreign countries and then transform locally."
Chen Guanzhong was quite moved when he heard this and said, "Don't you interfere in magazine matters?"
Zhang Shaoping said: "I am the title of president, and you will be the general manager or CEO. However, I am ugly in the front, and I will invest in capital because I believe in you. You are very confident and have a good idea. But if the magazine you run has no improvement in two years, I will ask for another clever one."
