Chapter 285： Gains from the London trip (1/2)
”Wenhan, I took a look. Generally speaking, the work is well done! Keep it up!”
Xia Yu put down the watch in his hand and said with a satisfied smile to Yan Wenhan.
Hearing Xia Yu's affirmation, Yan Wenhan smiled happily, and quickly said modestly: ”Thank you, the boss, for the praise, I will definitely continue to work hard.”
After speaking, Yan Wenhan showed a dazed expression and said, ”Boss, there is one thing I want to report to you.”
”Go ahead!”
Xia Yu leaned forward on the table with his arms crossed and looked at Yan Wenhan with scorching eyes.
”Boss, it's about Sing Tao News Corporation.”
As soon as Yan Wenhan finished speaking, Xia Yu raised his brows, thinking that he almost ignored this matter.
Think about it carefully. Before leaving Hong Kong, Sing Tao News Group had announced the abolition of Sing Tao News Agency. After that, the four major newspapers that Jiuding News had just acquired, Sing Tao News Group’s Sing Tao Daily and the English Standard. ”It should be shocked by reason, and the situation is definitely not good.
Xia Yu had been able to foretell the future of Sing Tao News Group before, so he didn't put it in his eyes. Had it not been for Yan Wenhan in advance, Xia Yu might have overlooked it.
But in any case, the only thing that can be regarded as a rival in Xiangjiang and even the Southeast Asian market is Sing Tao News Corporation, although this qualification is a bit reluctant.
Now Yan Wenhan suddenly said that something about Sing Tao News Group needs to be reported. What unexpected situation did he get?
”What happened to Sing Tao News Corporation?”
Xia Yu's spirit shook slightly and couldn't help asking.
”Boss, if this is true, it will be good for us and not good for Sing Tao News Corporation. There is a newspaper in a drawer on the table. You can pull it out and take a look.”
Yan Wenhan explained a little.
Xia Yu pulled out the drawer on the right side of the desk and found that it was a newspaper, and then took it out. The **** headline on the front page made Xia Yu's eyes stare slightly and immediately became interested.
”Heavy! ”Sing Tao Daily” suspected sales fraud! Advertisers are afraid of heavy losses!”
Xia Yu opened the newspaper and read all the article, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
The tone used throughout this article is convincing, but there are no key pictures and data, etc., which makes people wonder whether the newspaper really got inside information or just gossip.
After all, it is a third-rate tabloid, and Xia Yu really doesn't believe it.
Seeing Xia Yu's expression, Yan Wenhan knew Xia Yu's thoughts, and he immediately explained it.
”Boss, it's actually possible!”
”Since you left Hong Kong, our four newspapers began to explode. At first, the sales of ”Sing Tao Daily” and ”English Standard” fell steadily, but after less than five days of decline, the decline was gradually stopped. Occasionally there will be a day or two of sales increase, and I am puzzled.
”After the people below gave me this newspaper yesterday, I didn't believe that Sing Tao News Group would do such a thing at first, but thinking about their situation, the previous puzzles were explained, the more I thought about it. I feel that ”Sing Tao Daily” sales are fraudulent.”
”I have now sent someone to investigate secretly, and I have also sent someone to contact this small newspaper to see if I can get the key information.”
After listening to Yan Wenhan's report, Xia Yu was silent, thinking about the logic.
According to what Yan Wenhan said, ”Sing Tao Daily” might actually have fraudulent sales. For the strength of his own newspaper company, Xia Yu firmly believes that no one is an opponent.
However, under this embarrassing situation, it is an abnormal thing that the ”Sing Tao Daily” that has not changed, or regressed, can stabilize sales and occasionally increase sales.
