Chapter 23 Level and Elegance

Yin Zhaotang put out his cigarette and raised his hand to signal, "Stop, Boss Xian, I'm a legitimate businessman. If you want to deal with grudges in the underworld, turn left and look for the reward for the initials. If you want to deal with commercial crimes, turn right and look for the ICAC and the Chief Justice."

"Boss Xian just said that he likes me to talk business as usual, right?"

Xian Youliang nodded embarrassedly, stood up and said, "I'm sorry, Boss Yin, I said too much."

"Let's put aside the trivial matters. A sample book will be sent to you in two days. If there is no problem, we can print it in large quantities. Please leave me the company address."

Yin Zhaotang took out a business card from his shirt pocket and placed it on the table: "If you have any questions, call the company or my pager."

Xian Youliang picked up the business card, took a polite look at it, and found that there was no long string of impressive-looking titles on it, just a simple one-line introduction.

General Manager of 91 Magazine Company.

"OK." He nodded and put the business card in his pocket.

Seeing Yin Zhaotang get up to leave, he hurriedly followed him and walked him all the way to the factory gate.

Yin Zhaotang and A Le each rode a motorcycle, driving on the bumpy driveway in Kwun Tong. When they passed the Garden Building, they went upstairs to the old house to rest for a while, and left one thousand Hong Kong dollars in the iron box for change on the table.

At this time, his mother Tao Xiumei was still working as a waitress in a restaurant, so it would be strange if she was at home. But ever since he went out to make money in the underworld, his relationship with his mother has become just ordinary.

After all, his father was a gangster who could kill himself at any time. It would be strange if he could treat gangsters well after a few days of living a good life after marrying in. But the family had been in a tight financial situation in recent years, and a thousand yuan was enough to make her happy for a long time. When the magazine sold well, she could buy a house and move out of the Garden Building.

By then, my mother and Jiahui will live in one apartment, and he will live in another, and they can live a carefree life all day long.

But when he returned to the rental house in Kowloon, his face was not good. Jiang Hao, who came after hearing the news, looked like Dan Tart and his left hand looked like his parents had died.

He took a few bottles of soda with his left hand, pried off the iron caps one by one, and placed them on the table, saying, "Don't bother thinking, you'll know whether "Big Wave" was a joint effort between Jixiang and Dong'an Society."

"definitely is."

Jiang Hao said confidently: "Jixiang has been collecting money from the stinky mouth. He knows the effect of free magazines in attracting customers. I heard that the boss wants to start a magazine company."

"It's easy to guess that it's a pornographic magazine that prints photos of beautiful women. They copied our magazine and published it in advance, so that they can be the first to create it and cut us off!"

Without the title of a pioneering magazine, 91 Men would be missing a big gimmick.

Historically, it was one year after the publication of "Dragon Tiger Leopard" that similar magazines appeared on the market. It had the monopoly for a whole year, and subsequent pornographic magazines could not catch up with the status of "Dragon Tiger Leopard".

But most pornographic magazines are profitable. Until the Hong Kong Publishing Association introduced a publication rating system, pornographic magazines still accounted for half of the sales of paper media.

Therefore, "91 Men" does not have to worry about limited sales, and the male market can definitely accommodate two sex magazine companies.

But you can earn 1.5 million a month, why only 1 million?

The brothers really couldn't stand this anger. Egg Tart gulped down two gulps of soda and vented his dissatisfaction: "Brother Tang, if Jixiang is the boss like this, there's no need to follow the rules of the underworld."

"According to Ah Le's suggestion, we should first kill La Jiang from Dong'an Society, burn down their magazine office, and call Boss Xian from the printing factory. Maybe we can lower the cost price."

Ah Le nodded: "Boss Xian is obviously very dissatisfied with La Jiang. Killing La Jiang can not only maintain the sales of the magazine, but also do Boss Xian a favor."

"It's a sure win, Brother Tang!"

If in the 1950s there were three or four newspapers with sales of over 100,000 copies on the market at the same time, and more than 50 newspapers of all kinds, then a favor from the printing industry bosses would indeed be worth a lot.

But the world is cruel and the industry is in recession. What do the bosses in the industry mean?
If you want to count their favors, be careful that it is a blank check. Yin Zhaotang, who has seen the world, is not like Ah Le and his friends, who are easily persuaded by a word. It's free! If you have the guts, give out a bonus of hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, and a professional knifeman will come to do the work immediately.

Yin Zhaotang pondered and said, "Don't be anxious. Be careful of being ambushed. I just called the neighbors in the New Territories and found out that the printing factory is called Shenghui. More than 30 workers have already started printing."

"I spent two hundred yuan to buy a copy, which will be returned to me tonight. Let's see the quality of the magazines across the street first. In addition, we must first find evidence to prove whether Jixiang has colluded with Lajiang from Dong'an Society. Otherwise, Jixiang is our family protection boss, and if we report him to Uncle Longtou Mao, we will suffer. Slandering elders is against the rules of the sect."

Ah Le was not convinced and cursed: "What era are you in? Why are you still talking about the Hongmen Thirty-Six Oaths?"

Yin Zhaotang glared at him and said, "Ah Le, you think the rules of the underworld restrict you, don't you know that the rules are used to protect the weak?"

"To be a small person, you must first learn how to use the rules."

Jiang Hao stood up and said, "It was Jixiang who broke the rules first."

"Yes, so we have a reason to defeat Jixiang. If you violate the rules of the martial arts world, you will be beaten with three swords and six holes, but if you are within the rules, killing someone is not a crime!"

Yin Zhaotang paused and tried to appease the crowd: "La Jiang is the head of the Mawei Baojia. He has always been jealous of our customer-bringing business and has already learned from us to distribute free magazines in Guangdong Province."

"As long as you are willing to use your brain and observe the market, you can come up with the idea of ​​publishing a pornographic magazine."

"You can't kill Jixiang with just this. If you don't get the spicy ginger, even if you kill Jixiang's whole family, you won't make a penny more."

Jiang Hao, A Le, Dan Ta, and Zuo Shou replaced their approval with silence.

Yin Zhaotang took a sip of soda and looked at everyone: "Make money first. Once you make money, you can skin anyone you want and pull out their tendons!"

Rong Jiahui peeled the apples, cut them into small pieces, and served them on a fruit plate.

"Jiahui, good girl~"

Jiang Hao touched her head and smiled.

night.

Yin Zhaotang got the first issue of "Big Wave" magazine and flipped through it in the bedroom. The photo of Liang Zhenni sitting in the bathtub with her body wrapped in foam was indeed very tempting.

As a porn star who is famous for "taking off her clothes in every movie", the third-level movie "Emmanuelle of Hong Kong" in the past two years also sold well, and she is considered to have a certain degree of fame.

When a passerby sees a magazine cover at a newsstand, there is a high probability that he or she will pick it up and read it, but the person who took the photo may be a photographer hired at a high price.

The composition, color and artistry are all good, but it’s lame for body art in pornographic magazines!
There is no need to circumvent the publishing association or disguise it as body art. It should be something eye-catching.

La Jiang had some brains, but not much. He thought of inviting a porn star to be the cover girl of the first issue, which conflicted with the historical founding method of "Long Hu Bao".

But "Dragon Tiger Leopard" is more straightforward than his, just stripping naked.

If he had no competitors, he might be able to replicate 91% of the first issue sales of "Dragon Tiger Leopard", but the cover of " Men" would be even more explosive.

You should know that the issue with the highest sales of "Dragon Tiger Leopard" was not the one with photos of porn stars in the first issue, but an issue that directly used a close-up of the model's "secret garden" as the cover!

It even caused heated discussions throughout society at the time, and many newspaper writers criticized it, but it couldn't stop the record-breaking sales of "Dragon, Tiger and Leopard". The more it was criticized, the more money it made.

All you need to do is type a line of small, fly-sized words at the bottom of the cover: This picture was taken for the promotion of health and hygiene knowledge, thanks to the model Susu for dedicating herself to medicine.

Yin Zhaotang doesn't need to pay attention to rumors from the outside world. No matter which direction the wind blows, he believes from the bottom of his heart that the picture is elegant!
