Chapter 379: Azure Rainbow Media, Headline Daily

They kept waiting until Yang Qing and the two people left, then Lin Zeshi and Qiao En excitedly hugged each other.

"Thank you, Qiao En, thank you for introducing me to such a good business."

Qiao En knew this was not his own achievement at all; he was nothing more than a tool.

He, like others, looked down on Lin Zeshi, but he looked at the contract in his hand.

He decided that from now on, Lin Zeshi would be his brother.

The relationship between those two was clearly not ordinary; for money, Lin Zeshi also had to be his brother.

"Fine, fine, Lin, from now on we'll be close comrades and look out for each other."

Lin Zeshi nodded firmly.

"That's right, Qiao En; today I'll treat you to a drink, let's celebrate."

Upon hearing about drinking, Qiao En immediately got excited.

"Lin, we've thought of the same thing."

At this time, a private lawyer is a low-probability event.

The current Gangdao Chinese merchants have not yet noticed the importance of lawyers; only until the 1970s did the value of lawyers become great.

After Yang Qing and Yang Rong went out, Yang Rong felt heartbroken.

"Is spending this much money worth it?"

Yang Qing gave a hehe laugh.

He didn't bother with him.

Instead, he ordered Ahui.

"Go check the bookstore street to see if there are any properties for rent; I want to use it as the office for the newspaper."

Yang Rong, feeling sorry for the money, hesitated and said.

"Son, otherwise let's go to Kowloon; it's cheaper there."

Yang Qing disagreed.

"Let's just go to the bookstore street; there are many literati there, easy to recruit."

"Isn't Ming Pao not far from there?"

Ahui interjected.

"Young master, most printing factories are in the Chenghuang Street area of the West District."

"I think we should go to the West District, not the East District; it's too remote."

Yang Qing laughed hehe and looked at Yang Rong.

Yang Rong glared at Ahui.

"That side is more expensive."

"Forget it, let's just stick with the bookstore street."

Yang Qing quickly found a large warehouse for rent nearby through an agent.

Yang Rong looked at the dilapidated warehouse before him, somewhat unable to understand Yang Qing, and kicked a pile of junk inside.

"This thing, three thousand a month, you really want it?"

"I could easily find you a place better than this."

Yang Qing flicked the contract.

"I've signed a ten-year lease."

"Do you know how expensive this will be in ten years?"

"Moreover, I have the right of first purchase."

"Old man, the price is reasonable here, the location is suitable, the space is large enough; with just a little renovation, it would be a very good office setting."

Industrial-style office, saving money and looking good.

After saying that, Yang Qing again pulled Ahui to get ready to leave.

"What are you going to do? Not Household Chores?"

Yang Qing said while walking.

"Find a company to start renovation; later someone will Household Chores."

Lin Zeshi quickly witnessed Yang Qing's prowess.

The next day he was assigned by Yang Qing to register the media company.

Azure Rainbow Media Limited Company.

And applied for the Headline Daily publication number.

Originally a very troublesome matter, with Yingzi's endorsement, Lin Zeshi made everything much simpler.

Once the company and publication number were issued, Yang Qing again pulled him to draft the employment contract.

Lin Zeshi was exhausted like a dog, he gave a wry smile and complained to Yang Qing.

"Mr. Yang, this job really isn't easy to take on."

Yang Qing gave a hehe laugh.

"Where is money easy to earn?"

"If you don't work hard and I don't work hard, the money will end up belonging to others."

"Don't think about being tired; think about the good side. Now we are tired, but we have produced results."

"In a few days, a fresh newspaper will come out."

"Can't you feel that sense of accomplishment?"

Lin Zeshi muttered inwardly, that's your sense of accomplishment; what does it have to do with me?

Yang Qing seemed to see through his thoughts.

"Do you think this has nothing to do with you?"

"Wrong, totally wrong."

"My success is your success."

"Only if I succeed can you get next year's contract."

"We share weal and woe."

"The better we do, the higher your future pay, and the higher your reputation and prestige."

"When your status rises, your value follows."

"If I fail, think about what will happen to you."

"Without the contract, you'll also get a reputation for being incompetent in business, causing clients to go bankrupt—how will you get by after that?"

"This is an outcome worlds apart, one heaven, one earth."

"Can you say this isn't your business?"

"All this matters more to you than to me."

"Heaven and hell are sometimes just a thought apart."

"Lin Ze Shi is a lawyer, not someone easily fooled."

"But when Yang Qing spoke, he felt Yang Qing was right."

"For Yang Qing, this might be a trivial failure—who let him be a rich second‑generation? He can afford to fail."

"But for himself, it is the moment that decides his fate."

"Mr. Yang, I'm not tired."

"I will surely assist you well."

"Seeing Lin Ze Shi fired up, Yang Qing showed a kind smile."

"A lone blossom isn't spring; shared growth is what love is."

"Wishing us a victorious start."

"Actually hiring editors isn't hard; the hard part is hiring reporters—ordinary people can't do it. Now in Gangdao, ordinary people can't handle this job."

"Yang Qing asked Yang Rong to recommend some sharp youngsters."

"These youngsters, each strong and dark‑skinned, are clearly the sort of tough local toughs."

"Yang Qing was very satisfied."

"Pang Long, Han Ming, Bai Xue, Qiao Feng, Hu Hai—these five are the editors Yang Qing hired."

"All are editors; there is no chief editor—he himself serves as chief editor."

"Chi Ya Su, San Zhi Shou, Shan Ji, Shui Hou Zi, Bao Da Ting, Tie Suan Pan—these six are the reporters Yang Qing found."

"Don't judge by their unsightly looks and odd names; each is a rare talent."

"These people have long mingled in the lower strata; they are adept at gathering information, and very discreet, never touching what they shouldn't."

"They are all local toughs; nothing that happens in Gangdao can escape their eyes."

"Actually, every place has a local who knows a lot."

"They are responsible for gathering information; the five editors write the stories."

"Yang Qing plans to recruit freelance writers for the rest."

"Running a newspaper, Yang Qing actually has no experience, but he knows how Ming Pao got started."

"One Jin Yong made a newspaper."

"Moreover, in the future he can collect many copyright fees—why not?"

"The first novel, Yang Qing took out 'Xun Qin Ji'."

"A novel that overturns ordinary martial arts fiction."

"Nowadays, most Gangdao people come from the inland; many have low education."

"In their eyes, whoever is more badass, whoever can fight well, that's their idol—and also the soil where martial arts novels survive."

"And time‑travel series can further enhance their sense of immersion."

"To become a cheat is everyone's inner desire."

"After seeing Yang Qing's novel, Pang Long was so excited he was beyond compare."

"Boss Yang, I feel I've found my direction."

"Countless thoughts swirled in his mind."

"Yang Qing, however, stopped him."

"Don't rush; let's first check the market, see the feedback, see if everyone likes it."

"For the first week's newspaper, I plan to give away two thousand copies free each day."

"First let people see our newspaper, let them know us, then talk about survival."
