Chapter 672 The Establishment of the Chinese Martial Arts Association

Even though Shen Bi was a top genius who could gradually transform HSBC, a city-level bank, into one of the top ten banks in the future, his own achievements in the future would certainly be higher, so at this time, a moderate warning was necessary, even if they really fell out;
He was preparing to take action against Jardine Matheson, and the only ones who had the ability to intervene were HSBC and the Governor of Hong Kong. Naturally, he could not say the same thing to the Governor of Hong Kong. However, in theory the Governor of Hong Kong could not intervene directly, so in the end he asked HSBC to step in.

However, HSBC is not without autonomy in front of the Hong Kong government. Although it cannot refuse, if it is really unwilling, it can actually be perfunctory even if it does not work hard;

Now that he has chosen to hand it over to Shen Bi, Yang Wendong no longer thinks about it. If HSBC really intervenes, he will just have to fight it out.

1972 was a very busy year in Hong Kong;
In addition to the previous events of Hutchison Whampoa Drinks Milk and Hutchison becoming the major shareholder of HK Electric, another major event also happened in September. However, in terms of influence, it was far less than the previous two. However, it had a huge impact on many people in Hong Kong, and even all Chinese people. That was the official end of Jin Yong's writing career.

In early September, after the serialization of The Deer and the Cauldron ended, Jin Yong officially announced his retirement from writing.
Because of Yang Wendong's existence, the novels written by Jin Yong in the past ten years are somewhat different from those in history. Among them, "Xia Ke Xing" is gone, but there is one more book "Flying Fish Order";
It mainly tells the story of the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty. The protagonist is an orphan of the Jingnan Rebellion. In order to avenge his parents and family, he practices martial arts hard, becomes a martial arts master, and sneaks into the Jinyiwei with the intention of assassinating Zhu Di.

But there are also many masters in the court, and the setting of Yao Guangxiao is somewhat similar to "fantasy". He can predict crises, causing the protagonist to fail and get injured. Later, by chance, he met the current crown prince Zhu Gaochi, and was influenced by his character and his concern for the world. At the same time, he also learned about some of Zhu Yunwen's incredible operations, and his thoughts of revenge were also disturbed.

Later, the northern grasslands invaded the Central Plains, and the martial arts sects combined to cooperate with Zhu Di's army. Under the general trend, the protagonist naturally participated in it and also encountered the grassland's number one master, who was the descendant of King Jinlun, and his Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu was superb. Even if the martial arts people united, they suffered heavy losses;
The protagonist was also seriously injured, but he accidentally got help from the descendants of the Condor Heroes, and practiced the "Nine Yin Manual" and "The Palm of Sadness" and other peerless martial arts, defeated the powerful enemy, and helped the Ming army to defeat the Alutai tribe. However, Zhu Di died during the expedition, and the protagonist's revenge for the Jingnan Rebellion was not avenged.
Later, Zhu Di's second son, Prince of Han, attempted to rebel, sparking an internal war in the Central Plains. At the same time, the threat from the grassland always existed. For the sake of world peace, the protagonist also helped Zhu Gaochi and destroyed the logistics troops of Prince of Han Zhu Gaoxu. Zhu Gaochi used various benevolent policies to influence Prince of Han's subordinates, and finally realized the return of weapons to the warehouse, and the world ended in peace.

In the end, the protagonist lived in seclusion with his beloved woman~~
The story here has slightly changed history, but this is normal. After all, other Jin Yong novels have also changed a lot. As long as the story is exciting and in line with the general direction of history, it is fine.
This book was written in 1968. When Yang Wendong first learned about it, he was overjoyed. His influence also allowed him to read new Jin Yong novels. Even in the next hundred years, countless Chinese people will have new TV series, which is also a good thing.

Yang Wendong has been following the content of this book, and he is so fascinated by the characters and plot.

Not only Jin Yong, Gu Long was even more influenced by him. Many of the novels he wrote were completely different from the original historical ones, and there were many more of them.

TVB and Changxing Film Company adapted many TV series and movies because of these two people, and achieved very high results. Of course, these two people also received very generous rewards;

Especially Gu Long, because he had started a family in Hong Kong and did not hang out with many gangsters as in the past, his life became normal and he did not drink too much. In addition, Changxing Group conducted annual physical examinations for its employees, so he was fine and did not have any liver disease.
If there are no accidents and he suffers from some serious illness by chance, it will not be difficult for him to live to the new century. This may also bring more works of martial arts to Hong Kong and even China.

It can be regarded as making up for a regret of many people in previous lives.

On October 10, Yang Wendong invited Gu Long and Jin Yong to a banquet and had a picnic on a flat grassland on Lion Rock in Hong Kong. It was not only the three of them, but also their families, so it was a large-scale family picnic.

The ingredients were also abundant and many people were preparing them. Yang Wendong, Gu Long and Jin Yong were chatting alone on the side. When the food next to them was ready, someone would bring it over.

"Don't be polite, Mr. Xiong and Mr. Zha, these are not top-notch ingredients." Yang Wendong said with a smile.

Nowadays, people with money can naturally afford all kinds of expensive food, but in fact there is no need to do so. Normal meat, fish, shrimp, vegetables and fruits are enough for people's nutrition. Even many top-quality ingredients are just rare and hyped to be expensive. But when it comes to nutrition, they may not be better than the cheapest eggs.

What modern people generally lack is not nutrition, but too many delicious foods, which make their bodies unable to bear it and become "weak".

Jin Yong smiled and said, "Okay, I won't be polite either."

After some delicious food and some small talk, Yang Wendong asked, "Zhasheng, after you stop writing, are you going to devote yourself to running Ming Pao?"

Jin Yong nodded and said, "Yes, I am ready to run Ming Pao with all my strength."

"It's a pity that Hong Kong and the entire Chinese community will lose a lot of wonderful novels." Yang Wendong said with regret.

It is indeed true. If Jin Yong can write a few more novels, then billions of people in the mainland will have a better spiritual life in the future, which will also help the economy to some extent. "Isn't there Xiong Sheng? Some other novelists are also good." Jin Yong smiled and said, "It's not that I don't want to write, but I'm really too tired;

Although writing novels does not require movement and may not be as physically demanding as other jobs, it is still very energy-consuming. Over the years, my health has been getting worse and worse. I saw a Chinese doctor, who also said that thinking too much can lead to illness. This is not an obvious disease, but a general weakness. Many famous emperors and great scholars in ancient times died in this way.

For the sake of my health and my family, I have no choice but to stop writing.”

Gu Long Xiong Yaosheng also nodded and said, "Yes, I often feel very tired, and my thoughts in recent years are not as good as when I was in my 20s."

"So that's what's going on. I understand." Yang Wendong nodded.

Although I don't know much about Chinese medicine, it seems that many scholars in ancient times died due to writing books for a long time. Excessive thinking, long-term concentration, huge mental exercise, and lack of relaxation can also damage the body's vitality.

In fact, the same is true for company management. If you get too involved, it will be very tiring. It is probably the same for ancient emperors.
As for Yang Wendong, he fully delegated power very early on. Although sometimes his subordinates might not do things completely according to Yang Wendong's wishes, resulting in less profit, he gained a healthy body, time to cultivate himself, and accompany his family's growth, which was still worth it. After all, there is actually not much difference between 100 billion and 90 billion, but a little physical discomfort can make a completely different difference.

Jin Yong continued, "Age is also a factor. After all, I am old. If I think about so many characters and plots, my brain won't be able to think anymore. Haha."

"The characters in Zhasheng's novel are indeed fascinating. I toast to you." Yang Wendong raised his glass and smiled;

In his previous life, he had read many online novels, but there were very few that could write a brilliant story about the protagonist. Such novels were generally not bad, and were considered excellent.

If the heroine is well-written and there is no toxic plot, 10,000 subscriptions is basically enough;

If you write several supporting characters well, so that readers can remember multiple characters after reading, then you are definitely at the platinum level;
In Jin Yong's novels, The Legend of the Condor Heroes, people can remember dozens of characters, each of whom is flesh and blood and has a story, which can be clearly written in less than a million words, such as the loyalty of the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, the love of Mei Chaofeng, the tortuous love story of Yang Kang and his wife, the martial arts of the Five Great Masters of the Central Plains, the incompetence of the Seven True Immortals, the Old Naughty Boy, the love triangle between Yideng and Yinggu, the loyalty of Wanyan Honglie, and so on and so forth;

This is basically the case in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, and The Return of the Condor Heroes;

Jin Yong also raised his glass and said, "Mr. Yang, you are too polite."

After finishing the drink, Yang Wendong suddenly said: “Zhasheng, Xiongsheng, I have an idea. You two are also the top stars in the Chinese martial arts world today. You have written many wonderful novels and are very famous;

But due to limited energy, it is not as good as before, so how about setting up a special martial arts novel organization?"

"Martial arts novel organization?" Jin Yong and Gu Long looked at each other and asked, "What kind of organization?"

Yang Wendong said: "It is to encourage more talented people to write novels, or to properly cultivate some people who have some talent but are not yet at the level of being published in newspapers;
There are many such people in Hong Kong, who give up because they can't make money, which is really a pity, so I want to set up such an organization to assist these people, to cultivate more martial arts novel writers for Hong Kong and the entire Chinese world, so that the works they create can also be read by more people. "

"That's a good idea." Jin Yong thought for a moment and said, "What's the name?"

Yang Wendong said, "Let's call it the Chinese Martial Arts Association. You two can be the president and vice president of the association. You decide how to run it, and I'll provide the funding. How do you think?"

"Chinese Martial Arts Association? This name is quite domineering." Jin Yong said with a smile.
