Chapter 17 Deployment
Early the next morning, Xia Yu rushed to the newspaper office, and when he passed by the newsstand, he bought a stack of newspapers and read them while walking.
Xia Yu mainly reads the content of the financial and commercial sections and current affairs sections of various newspapers, as for other entertainment gossip and people's livelihood news, he skips it directly, and now he has no time to pay attention to these miscellaneous things.
Looking at it, Xia Yu suddenly stared, stopped and browsed carefully.
"Hong Kong Island Daily was bought as a toy by a teenager?"
"Yesterday morning, the 42-year-old "Island Daily" suddenly announced that it would completely cease publication, and the new newspaper was called "Jiuding Daily," which aroused the attention of the industry...... The newspaper was already half-dead, and it was foreseeable that it would soon be closed down......"
After reading this report, Xia Yu showed a sneer: "Am I being despised? It seems that I was really born to make a mistake with "Oriental Daily", and I have the energy to notice that the "small role" of "Hong Kong Island Daily" is coming, hehe, since I have stretched out my face, will I not give them face if I don't slap it?"
"Heh, let's see, see if it's going to go out of business!"
Xia Yu snorted coldly, then stopped paying attention to this content and continued to walk towards the company.
Soon after, Xia Yu arrived at the company, and after being busy for a while, all the employees had arrived.
Xia Yu called in Liu Zhong's seven people and listened to their report on the progress of yesterday's work.
After the seven finished speaking, Xia Yu frowned slightly, and was in a bad mood.
Yesterday, for a day, the newspaper was operating normally, and the internal reform was carried out in an orderly manner, which did not disappoint Xia Yu.
But only Liu Zhong's task of recruiting seven people hit a wall, and the seven only recruited a few new employees, and most of the peers who contacted them said that they wanted to consider it.
Although this situation was expected by Xia Yu, after all, outsiders did not know the specific situation of the newspaper, and they still looked at it with the old eyes, so it was inevitable that they would weigh the pros and cons, and they did not want to work in Jiuding Newspaper Company, which seemed to have no development, but when it really happened, Xia Yu was still a little unhappy.
"Forget it, I also know your difficulties, continue to recruit people for me in the past few days, spread the news of recruitment first, and the situation will improve in a few days!" Looking at the seven people who were a little apprehensive, Xia Yu smiled and comforted them, after all, it can't dampen their enthusiasm, and they can't be blamed for this uncontrollable factor.
Hearing Xia Yu's words, Liu Zhong and the seven of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but they were a little puzzled in their hearts about what the boss meant when he said that it would get better in a few days, and they couldn't figure it out, so they could only guess if the boss had any way to solve it.
"Now I will begin to plan for today's and tomorrow's work, you should carefully remember, whether "Jiuding Daily" can become an instant hit depends on your implementation. Xia Yu said solemnly.
"Zhao Cheng, at four o'clock in the afternoon, you have to get the first issue of "Jiuding Daily" sample out for me and hand it over to me for review, Sun Xin, your news department actively cooperates. ”
Hearing Xia Yu's order, Sun Xin and Zhao Cheng nodded heavily and took the order.
"Zhang Lei, because there may not be enough manpower, the task of your printing department is very heavy, and I have only one request, before the newspaper is delivered tomorrow, 100,000 copies of the newspaper must be printed!" Xia Yu stared straight at Zhang Lei, the head of the printing department, and said.
"100,000 copies?"
Hearing this amount, the seven people who were doing it were all startled, and looked at Xia Yu with round eyes, and a few of them couldn't help but swallow their saliva, wondering if the boss was wrong, and said one more zero.
That's 100,000 copies, and two days ago, the daily print run of the newspaper was only 3,000 copies, which is more than 30 times more than 30 times all at once, which is really a bit scary.
They couldn't figure out how to sell so many newspapers when they printed them!
"Okay boss!" Seeing Xia Yu's serious face and making sure that the boss was not joking, Zhang Lei's mouth opened, and finally swallowed the question back into his stomach, and nodded in agreement.
"I know you have doubts, if you have any questions, you can ask them now, and after asking them clearly, you will implement them seriously. Xia Yu glanced at the seven people, thought about it and said.
"Boss, we printed 100,000 copies, will it be too much?" Maybe it won't be sold......" Sun Changfa, the head of the distribution department, said cautiously, he saw that the boss Xia Yu was serious, not like a joke at all.
But that's 100,000 copies! And he was the head of the circulation department, in charge of the distribution of the newspaper, and he was now feeling a lot of pressure, and he didn't know how to get the 100,000 copies out of the newspaper, and in his opinion, he worked hard, and it would be good to have a maximum of 5,000 copies, and 100,000 copies seemed to him an impossible task.
Hearing Sun Changfa's question, Xia Yu nodded and did not answer, then looked at the others and said, "What about you, if you have any questions, in order to save time, let's talk about them together, and then I will answer them in a unified manner." ”
Several people looked at each other, and finally Huang Wenshan, the 37-year-old head of the advertising department, spoke: "Boss, if 100,000 copies are printed according to what you said, will the advertisements that were made in our newspaper office still be published?"
Xia Yu nodded to indicate that he understood, looked at the others again, and asked again, "Do you have any other questions?"
The seven of them all shook their heads, and they were all a little worried in their hearts, thinking that Xia Yu was going to lose his temper.
Although Xia Yu is only 16 years old, they are younger than some of their sons, but after these two days of observation and getting along, Xia Yu has established a certain prestige in their hearts, so they are still a little afraid of Xia Yu at this moment.
Seeing this situation, Xia Yu smiled and said: "Huang Wenshan, don't worry about advertising, our "Jiuding Daily" will not publish advertisements during this time, the agreement signed before will be invalid, and the losses that should be compensated to advertisers will be compensated, Liu Zhong, you cooperate and do a good job of registration." ”
"Okay, boss!" Liu Zhong and Huang Wenshan hurriedly agreed.
"As for the number of prints, this is non-negotiable, it can only be more than 100,000 copies, it can't be less than 100,000 copies!" Xia Yu said directly.
Hearing Xia Yu's words, Sun Changfa's heart was wow cool and cool, and he felt full of bitterness, but he didn't dare to refute Xia Yu, so he could only say astringently: "Understood, boss." ”
"Haha, don't make up your mind so quickly, I didn't say that you want to sell these 100,000 newspapers, of course I know that it is impossible to sell them, but what if it is given away for free?" Seeing the miserable appearance of Sun Changfa being hit and the confidence of others was also hit, Xia Yu saw that the heat was almost over, and it was time to reverse his heart, so he suddenly smiled.
"Send?!"
When Sun Changfa and the seven people heard Xia Yu's words, they were stunned, it was the first time they had heard that newspapers were delivered for free, and it was 100,000 copies as soon as they were sent, in their concepts, this was completely impossible.
In the history of Heung Kong Newspaper, there has never been such a large number of free newspaper delivery cases, and occasionally there are a few cases of newspapers that want to rely on free delivery to attract attention, and they will stop in time after a few days.
Therefore, in the eyes of the industry, it is impossible to succeed in delivering newspapers for free, and it will also provoke collective suppression from peers, after all, it is smashing everyone's jobs.
They can't understand how the boss could think like this!
With so many reversals in a short period of time, they were completely confused, and they couldn't figure out what the boss Xia Yu was planning to do.
Because of this, the seven people all looked at Xia Yu in a daze, waiting for him to solve their doubts.
