The next day, Li Zhiwen got up, Li Lizhen and Wen Bixia had already gotten up early to prepare breakfast. Li Zhiwen left home after breakfast, left 1,000 yuan for the two girls, and told them to study the script well.

Because "Shanghai Bund" was filmed for a short time and the task was heavy, Li Zhiwen had not been to Qilin Newspaper for a long time. Fortunately, there was a little mother in the market. In addition, the headhunter company said that he had to go for an interview with a fashion editor from Europe. Besides, the filming of "Happy Ghost" was about to start, and he had to arrange the company's affairs.

When they came to the newspaper, the heads of various departments came to Li Zhiwen to report.

The first one to come was Wang Sheng from the editorial department.

"Sit down." Li Zhiwen said.

"Okay, boss." Wang Sheng sat down and reported: "Boss, after these days of fermentation, the sales of Qilin Daily has reached 180,000 copies, ranking second in Hong Kong newspapers and magazines. In addition, Macau can also be distributed, and the sales have reached 80,000 copies. In addition, the boss's previous instructions to go to peers to poach people has been effective, and 28 people have agreed to join our newspaper."

After listening to it, Li Zhiwen said, "Thank you for your hard work, Editor-in-Chief Wang, I know all the achievements of this period. Have you ever contributed to our newspaper recently?"

"There are, but the articles are written in a mess, not particularly good. We are at a disadvantage compared to other newspapers," said Wang Sheng.

"You still have to focus on poaching people. You can try to poach Wen Rui'an. In addition, I have two outlines of novels here, so you can let the writer create them." After Li Zhiwen finished speaking, he handed Wang Sheng two books, one was "Zichuan" and the other was Huang Yi's "Crossing Rain and Flipping Clouds". Li Zhiwen thought to himself, don't copy Huang Yi from baldness.

"Okay, boss, I'll deal with it now." Wang Sheng left the office after saying that.

The second one to come in was Zhang Ze from "Fashion Beauty".

"Boss, the first issue of "Fashion Beauty" has reached 150,000 copies, but the demand has been strong." Zhang Ze said.

"You did a good job, how is the second issue?" Li Zhiwen asked.

At this time, Zhang Zexing said: "The articles and other articles are ready to be published on time next Monday."

"Who is the cover?" Li Zhiwen asked

Zhang Ze gave the photo to Li Zhiwen, but he saw that the person in the photo was not particularly famous and not particularly beautiful.

Li Zhiwen sighed, and he couldn't blame him. After all, he is not a professional fashionista. It seems that the fashion editor urgently needs it. Forget it, let's take a look at the people recommended by the headhunter company.

Li Zhiwen said earnestly: "Zhang Ze, the second issue is crucial, because the first issue is free. If the second issue is not done well, the magazine will be smashed in his hands. The cover character is not good and it is not outstanding in any aspect, so she has changed."

Zhang Ze asked, "Who will the boss use?"

Li Zhiwen thought about the recent female characters and finally focused his attention on Chung Chuhong. Not to mention this person is a big beauty, but he is the fourth place in Miss Hong Kong. There will definitely be controversy on her cover. If there is controversy, there will be attention. Isn’t this the perfect candidate?

So he said to Zhang Ze: "There is a Hong Kong Miss in this class named Chung Chuhong, who is the fourth place. Please come to see me."

"Okay, boss, do it now." Zhang Ze left the office.

The third one is the overseas mission

"Boss, the issuance networks of Southeast Asia and Japan and South Korea have been basically established and can be accessed at any time." Ren Zhong said.

"Thank you for your hard work, connect Qilin Daily and Fashion Beauty immediately. I want to let our newspapers be seen in Southeast Asia and Japan and South Korea." Li Zhiwen said.

"Okay, boss."

The fourth one came in was Zhou Hui from the Finance Department, also known as Xiaoma.

"Xiao Mom, you're here, do it quickly." As if Xiao Mom came to find Li Zhiwen, Li Zhiwen couldn't be arrogant.

"So too, you opened your own company and didn't even look at it." Xiaoma said.

"Isn't this a little mother in the town? I don't worry." Li Zhiwen said with a smile.

"I'll report it to you first. The company currently has only two newspapers. Needless to say, "Fashion Beauty". It is still in the stage of losing money for promotion. However, "Qilin Daily" has a total advertising revenue of 1.3 million this time, and it has already achieved profitability. In addition, Lin Jianyue, the son of the chairman of Lixin Group, wants to buy "Fashion Beauty" for one year's advertising space. Look at how to deal with it. After all, you said before that we have to sign advertisements every month."

Li Zhiwen thought that his clothing company was about to be established, and Lixin Group had some conflicts with his business, so he could not sell it to him, so he said, "Stop it, Xiao Mom, I came to a clothing company with someone yesterday. At that time, the clothing advertising space of "Fashion Beauty" will be kept for myself, and the clothes worn by the models must also be customized by my company."

"You, the stall is so big, how can you get that much money? Okay, I will reject him." Zhou Hui said.

Li Zhiwen smiled and sent Zhou Hui out of the office. Finally, he could silence for a while. Then he picked up the newspaper on the table and read it. Since he started this business, he would buy all the newspapers in Hong Kong every day, and he would do this even when he was not around.

Li Zhiwen lay on the boss' chair, looking at the newspaper, and suddenly saw in the South China Morning Post that "On October 3, the exiled king of Iran, Mohamed Reza Pahlavi, was seriously ill, and the United States approved him to enter the country for treatment. Iran expressed strong protests, and Khomeini and the left-wing elements asked the king to be extradited to the country for trial and execution."

After seeing this news, Li Zhiwen remembered that due to the Iranian revolution, international crude oil prices soared. In December 1979, the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, which would cause a rush to buy gold. Li Zhiwen read an article in his previous life that said that on New Year's Day 1980, the price of gold per ounce would rise to $650, and at the end of January, the price of gold per ounce soared to more than $850, and the current price of gold is less than $450 per ounce. This is a big deal.

Li Zhiwen sorted out his money. Now he still has about 10 million Hong Kong dollars. He can take advantage of the rise in gold prices and make futures once, and then sell it in January next year when the gold price reaches more than 800 US dollars.

He did it as soon as he said that, Li Zhihao picked up the phone on the table and left it to Zheng Xin to call. After all, he only knew Zheng Xin in stock futures.

"Mr. Zheng, I am Li Zhiwen." Li Zhiwen said.

"It turned out to be Mr. Li. How are you doing recently? What are you doing? " Zheng Xin said with a smile. It's not his fault, because Li Zhiwen had previously analyzed that the stock of Hutchison Whampoa would rise, and Zheng Xin invested a little by himself. Now Hutchison Whampoa has risen from HK$23 to HK$33, so he is particularly concerned about Li Zhiwen's actions. Unfortunately, since Li Zhiwen bought Hutchison Whampoa stock, he has no extra actions, which makes him feel a little disappointed. Now Li Zhiwen is calling again, and there should be a new action.

"It's good, Mr. Zheng, how much has he purchased Hutchison Whampoa stocks now?" Li Zhiwen asked.

Zheng Xin replied: "It has been purchased all of them, because the later period of the Hutchison Whampoa stocks have risen a little, and a total of 1.3 million shares were purchased, which is now worth 42.9 million."

"Thank you, Mr. Zheng, but this is not the main purpose of the call this time. I would like to ask if you have any connections on the Gold Futures Exchange?"

"Mr. Li is optimistic about the rise in gold?" Zheng Xin asked irresponsible.

"Yes, I just saw a report that Iran is in a revolution, and this will definitely affect its own crude oil exports. Once Iran's crude oil exports weaken, international oil prices will definitely rise. You should know that the price of gold has a lot to do with the price of crude oil." Li Zhiwen said.

"Then what does Mr. Li want me to do?" Zheng Xin asked.

"I want to mortgage the stocks of Hutchison Whampoa like last time and then enter the futures exchange." Li Zhiwen said. Although Li Zhiwen knew Liu Cong's phone number, Liu Cong was introduced by Zheng Xin after all. Besides, he also needs Zheng Xin's connections now, so it is most suitable to go through Zheng Xin.

"No problem, I will let my subordinates connect with Liu Cong, but the futures exchange has not started gold futures trading yet. According to internal news, it will probably be launched next year." Zheng Xin said.

Li Zhiwen couldn't wait until next year, and asked anxiously: "How can I buy gold futures in Hong Kong now?"

Zheng Xin said: "Now all major banks in Hong Kong can sell London gold to Hong Kong citizens and earn a handling fee in the middle. For example, our HSBC is a market maker for London gold. If Mr. Li wants to buy it, I can introduce it to you in the center."

"Then I'll thank Mr. Zheng." Li Zhiwen said, fortunately asked Zheng Xin, and it would be bad if he didn't let him go directly to the futures exchange to make a joke.

"It's okay, Mr. Li, come out to have tea together another day," Zheng Xin said.
