In a private house somewhere in Kowloon, an old woman walked upstairs with an ordinary-looking young man carrying a box and package.

After going up to the third floor, the old woman pointed to the row of rooms in front of her and said to the man: "Xiaoma, there are only a few rooms left that have not been rented out now, 307, 309, 310, 311, the size is about the same, the price is the same, you can choose whatever you want!"

"Grandma, can I go in and have a look?"

The man called the pony asked softly, as if the smile he was squeezing out was very stiff because he didn't smile often.

"Of course, I'll open the door for you. ”

Grandma said kindly, then lifted a bunch of keys in her hand, found the corresponding keys, and opened all the doors of the four rooms.

"Take a good look at it, ponies. ”

After Grandma finished speaking, the man named Pony nodded at her, then entered 307's room and began to observe.

Then, he looked at a few other rooms, and when he came out, he said to Grandma: "Grandma, I'll pick this one 307, and I'll rent you half a year's room first." ”

Seeing that the pony began to pay for it, Grandma nodded with a bright smile, "Okay." ”

"That's right, come, the key is for you. ”

After counting the bills, Grandma happily handed the key to the man and prepared to go downstairs.

"Grandma, wait a minute. ”

The pony stops Grandma as she tries to leave.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else going on with you?"

Grandma asked suspiciously.

"I just want to find out who my neighbors are, and be mentally prepared to meet when the time comes. ”

"Who live in 306 and 308?"

Pony asked softly, and in order to keep Grandma from thinking, he also explained it.

Grandma showed an expression of understanding, thought for a while and said to him: "The one who lives in 306 is a girl, named Li Qian, she is very beautiful, she has just lived for half a month, I heard that she just graduated from college before, and she has found a job not long ago." ”

"Song Bo, who lives in 308, has been living for more than a year, is a waiter, he is a very warm-hearted person, you will definitely be able to get along well. ”

Pony nodded and said, "We'll get along." ”

"By the way, Grandma, it's noon now, why don't you see them come back?"

Pony asks casually again, a puzzled look on his face, but the glint in his eyes shows that he cares about the issue.

Grandma didn't notice anything wrong, and said indifferently: "Xiao Song didn't come back at noon, as for Li Qian, when I saw her packing up her things a few days ago, she said that she went abroad, and it is estimated that it will take a month or two to come back." ”

Hearing Grandma's words, the man's eyes became deep, and he regained his calm in an instant, nodded and said, "I see, it doesn't matter, it's okay to get to know her when she comes back, Grandma, you have something to do, you can get busy first, I'll clean up the room." ”

"Okay, you clean up slowly, I'll go down first, and if you have something, come downstairs to find me. ”

Looking at Grandma's rickety back, the man named Pony looked at the closed door of 306, his brows furrowed slightly, and his fists couldn't help clenching.

"How could it be so unfortunate that Xiaoqian actually went abroad, and it will take a month or two, so when will it be. ”

"I've been waiting for so many years, and I don't care about the past month or two, so let's wait for now. ”

It's just that Xiaoqian actually got a job after graduating from college and went abroad with her, so you have to check the background of that company carefully, so as not to be deceived by someone. ”

Looking at the closed door again, the man named Pony walked into his room and began to clean up.

......

At the headquarters of Sing Tao News Group, Chairman Hu Xian sent the two out of the gate, and watched the two of them leave in the car, the smile on her face immediately disappeared without a trace, and her expression became heavy, as if someone owed her millions.

Seeing the chairman standing at the gate for a long time, the other employees in the company also began to panic, and the senior executives accompanying Hu Xian mustered up the courage to remind in a low voice: "Chairman, why don't we go in first?"

Hu Xian turned his head to look at the reminding subordinates with some mechanical version, his bloodshot eyes, and his yellow face still looked yellow after being dressed, so that his subordinates did not dare to look at it, and unconsciously lowered his head.

After a few seconds, Hu Xian said in a heavy tone: "Summoning the high-level officials to the conference room, and the meeting will start in ten minutes." ”

Soon, one by one, the high-level executives entered the conference room one after another, and when they saw the chairman sitting on the chair, everyone looked at each other, all of them were in a heavy mood, and they sat silently, not daring to talk to each other.

As for the purpose of Chairman Hu Xian summoning them over for a meeting, they can also guess, who made the company worse during this time?

Especially in the past few days, the sales of the four newly acquired newspapers under the Jiuding Newspaper Company have been getting higher and higher day by day after the revision, such as the "Daily Daily", which had only 20,000 copies four or five days ago, and yesterday's latest sales have doubled to 40,000 copies, and the growth rate is still rapid.

Jiuding newspaper Gao Guin made rapid progress, as the target of the Sing Tao News Group, the situation is getting worse, its "Sing Tao Daily" and "English Standard" sales have been impacted, especially "Sing Tao Daily", "Nanyang Siang Daily", "Sin Chew Daily", "Fengyun Daily", "Jiuding Daily", "Tiantian Daily" and other five newspapers jointly targeted, sales fell more and more severely, everyone in the company was panicked.

And today, even more bad news is coming, the people from Hang Lung Bank actually came, and the intention is self-evident, that is, after seeing the current situation of Sing Tao News Group, they came to remind the bank of the loan.

This situation of the company, everyone sees it, but there is nothing they can do, because if there is a way, they would have come up with it a long time ago, and meetings like this have been held at least ten times, but each time no effective measures can be discussed.

"Have you all arrived?"

Hu Xianqiang cheered up and asked.

"Chairman, everyone is here. ”

The editor-in-chief, who was sitting on Hu Xian's left-hand side, said.

"Then close the door and have a meeting!"

Seeing that the last person had closed the door, Hu Xian sighed and said, "Now we have really reached the most dangerous moment, this time, we have to find a way to get out no matter what." ”

Although Hu Xian is very depressed, but the attitude of speaking is very resolute, she has reached the point of exhaustion, she must come up with a way, absolutely not like so many times before, every time there is a meeting, time is spent, but in the end there is no effective measure.

borrowed tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, recruited people on a large scale, and built the Sing Tao News Agency, but it is a pity that the Sing Tao News Agency, which was pinned on high hopes, did not play a role, and the money was wasted.

Not only that, the Sing Tao News Agency, which has only been built by half of it, is now unable to advance or retreat, and it is impossible to come up with the money to continue to build, but if it is not continued, the current Sing Tao News Agency is a waste, and the daily wages and expenses of the huge new personnel are a huge amount.

However, the company can only generate revenue from "Sing Tao Daily" and "English Standard", but now the sales of the two newspapers have been declining, and advertisers have terminated their contracts, resulting in a sharp decline in revenue.

She now has completely given up the idea of competing with Jiuding Newspaper Company, she just wants to keep the foundation left to her by her father Hu Wenhu, so that the company can continue to operate and not disappear in her hands.

"If you can't think of it, just stay here for the night, and I'll accompany you!"

After a long time, seeing that everyone was still thinking and meditating, but no one put forward opinions, Hu Xian's face became more and more gloomy, she was completely ruthless, in order to prevent the company from going out of business, she had to have a feasible way.

As soon as Hu Xian's words came out, everyone's faces changed, knowing that the chairman was really a little out of her mind, it seemed that her pressure was really unbearable!

"Zhang Feng, you say!"

Seeing that Zhang Feng, who was managing finances, kept changing, and finally became calm, as if he had an idea, Hu Xian said commandingly.

"Boss, now the situation is grim, if you want to solve the problem, it is nothing more than to open up sources and reduce expenditures, and it is too difficult to open sources, so start with throttling. ”

Zhang Feng didn't squint and said unceremoniously.

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the audience was shocked.

Do you want to cut their wages? How can this be done?

Seeing that everyone was staring at Zhang Feng tightly, Hu Xian could probably guess what they were thinking, and she hurriedly asked, "How to throttle?"

Of course Zhang Feng is not crazy, cutting their wages is also cutting his own wages, so his throttling means something else.

"Now our news agency is a chicken rib, or worse than chicken ribs, my suggestion is to sell the Sing Tao News Agency, if you can recover a little cost, even a little, if no one wants it, then dissolve it directly, less than 200 people and major offices, our expenses will be reduced a lot. ”

Zhang Feng said expressionlessly, his face was very ugly without looking at it, An Yubin, who was in charge of the Sing Tao News Agency.

Except for An Yubin, who looked at Zhang Feng with an almost murderous gaze, everyone else secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looked at An Yubin with some pity, and watched coldly without caring about themselves.

In fact, they are very clear about the company's problems, they are not unaware of the Sing Tao News Agency's drag on the thing, and now the company's debts, many of which are brought by the Sing Tao News Agency, and most of the monthly losses are also brought about by the huge new personnel system of the Sing Tao News Agency.

Especially in foreign offices, there are many foreign employees, where the salary expenses are much higher than those in Xiangjiang, and a foreign employee's monthly salary is enough to pay the wages of several local employees in Xiangjiang, but there is no way, who makes the living standards of European and American countries much higher than Xiangjiang!

Although they all knew it, they didn't want to offend An Yubin blatantly, so although many people had ideas, they didn't say it.

But since Zhang Feng is willing to offend An Yubin and cut him down, they are naturally very supportive.

Looking at An Yubin, who had an ugly face but didn't say a word, and then looked at everyone's attitudes, she thought of the expectations she had had, and then thought of the utter disappointment, as well as the threatening words of the people at Hang Lung Bank, Hu Xian finally closed her eyes.

Seeing Hu Xian's actions, it seems that he has finally decided, this moment has finally come, even if he tries his best to save it, but unfortunately the Sing Tao News Agency just doesn't get better, it doesn't work, and he can't help it.

An Yubin shook his head self-deprecatingly, he had nothing to say, he was not the kind of person who would not admit it, he did things alone, he admitted it! No matter what, he has an unshirkable responsibility, and the facts have proved it!

"Sing Tao News Agency, cut it......"

Hu Xian slowly opened her eyes and looked at An Yubin, who was already ready, she endured her heartache and slowly spoke.

An Yubin laughed silently, lowered his head, and said nothing.

Actually, An Yubin is uncomfortable, why is Hu Xian uncomfortable?

Her heart is dripping blood, the 10 million Hong Kong dollars that mortgaged the 25% stock loan have been lost, and this is a wrong strategic decision she made, which has brought a crisis to the company, how can she not suffer?

Now that she said that she had cut the Sing Tao News Agency, she was admitting her mistake in disguise and slapping herself!

So for An Yubin, who disappointed her, she didn't want to say anything anymore, if she didn't do a good job, she didn't do a good job!

Hu Xian retracted his gaze, continued to look at Zhang Feng, and said, "Throttling can't solve the problems you are facing now, what else can you do?"

Throttling is just cutting expenses, but now that Hang Lung Bank is collecting debts, Sing Tao News Group has only two ways to go, either to repay the money, or to let the bank see that it is profitable and give up debt collection.

Other than that, there is no other way!

So now, even if the Sing Tao News Agency is cut, the problem that gives her a headache has not been solved, and the most fundamental problem is the decline in sales and the sharp decline in advertising revenue is the key.

The decline in advertising revenue was caused by the decline in newspaper sales.

Therefore, it is necessary to solve the problem of declining sales, so that advertisers will not run away and increase advertising revenue!

It's just that this problem has been thinking about it for more than a month, and there are no less than ten meetings, but they still can't solve it, and they can't help it!

Everyone is helpless, is there really no way to go home tonight? Want to spend the night in the conference room?

Hu Xian's gaze swept in front of everyone, and at this moment, she suddenly found that Yu Hang, the minister of issuance, glanced at her, as if she wanted to stop talking.

Hu Xian was overjoyed in his heart, and asked expectantly: "Yu Hang, you say!"

Yu Hang hesitated for a moment, then took a preventive shot first and said, "Boss, this is a crooked trick of mine, it may not work." ”

"I don't care if I don't have any crooked tricks, as long as I can solve the problem!"

Hearing that Yu Hang really had a way, Hu Xian was excited and immediately said.

The others also looked at Yu Hang.

"Then I'll say it. ”

"Advertisers will go because newspaper sales are declining, so why don't we let sales not decline?"

When Yu Hang said this, he suddenly shut up, not wanting to say any more, it seemed a little taboo.

Most people were confused, only a few people's faces changed, and they guessed what Yu Hang's so-called crooked trick was, they had thought about it before, but they didn't dare to say it, after all, this crooked trick was too risky! If the incident happened, none of them could afford to take this responsibility!

"Go on!

Yu Hang suddenly didn't say anything, which made Hu Xian very uncomfortable, and immediately urged.

Looking at the chairman's expectant gaze, Yu Hang sighed in his heart, regretting that he shouldn't have talked too much, but the matter has come to this point, and he can only go one way to the dark.

"Boss, we can artificially keep newspaper sales from falling. ”

When Yu Hang said this, if others didn't understand, it would be really stupid, but they didn't expect Yu Hang to be so bold.

"Are you trying to fake sales?"

Hu Xian blurted out, looking at Yu Hang with his eyes, Yu Hang is taking the credibility of the newspaper to make a bet, if it is exposed, the price is too great, and it is very possible to stop publication!

Hu Xian wanted to be angry, but looking at Yu Hang's worried expression, Hu Xian's anger that had finally gathered disappeared in an instant.

That's it, Yu Hang is also for him, and he also said before that it was a crooked move. Hu Xian said secretly

"Is there anything else anyone else can do?"

Hu Xian stopped mentioning the topic, as if it hadn't happened, he looked at the others.

This time, Yu Hang also lowered his head and honestly didn't say a word, not wanting to be a head bird again.

It's a pity that Hu Xian was disappointed again, and the executives under her were still as dumb as the previous times, and her little patience was quickly worn out.

Until ten o'clock in the evening, there was still no result, Hu Xian collapsed weakly on the chair, her complexion changed several times, and finally regained her calm, and said lightly: "Dismiss the meeting!"

Hearing these three words, everyone was suddenly shocked, and then nodded at Hu Xian in tacit understanding, and walked outside silently.

Just when Yu Hang wanted to go out, Hu Xian suddenly said, "Yu Hang, you stay for a while." ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Yu Hang was very surprised, but even the other executives who walked outside were shocked, and their eyes exchanged glances, and then they all deliberately accelerated their pace and left the conference room.

"Chairman. ”

Yu Hang stood in front of Hu Xian with some apprehension and said tremblingly.

"Tell me your suggestion in detail. ”

Hu Xian said expressionlessly.

Yu Hang's eyes widened, suppressed the horror in his heart, calmed his mood, and began to say: "Chairman, we can ......"

Until Yu Hang finished speaking, Hu Xian's expression did not change in the slightest, which made Yu Hang feel uneasy.

After a long time, Hu Xian said slowly: "I'll leave this matter to you, remember not to leak it!"

"Yes!"

Yu Hang immediately responded.

After Yu Hang left, Hu Xian slumped weakly on the stool, made the decision just now, and had drained all her strength.

She also doesn't want to gamble on the fate of the company, but that's the only way, if you don't fake, the company will definitely go out of business, which is a matter of time, but if you fake, as long as it is not discovered, the crisis will be temporarily lifted, and she will have more time to think of other ways to solve it.

Now, she needs time!

There is no other way to harm each other!

"Father, bless me......"

Hu Xian crossed his hands in front of his chest, closed his eyes and prayed secretly.
