It turned out that in order to ascend to the sky in one step and sit on the throne of the chairman, Pang Yi not only made a trick against the evening newspaper and stirred up the other party's chickens and dogs, but of course he would not relax his supervision of the Metropolis Daily to generate income.

However, in Tianyang at that time, the influence of the evening newspaper obviously overshadowed the metropolitan newspaper, and many businesses wanted to advertise, of course, the evening newspaper would be the first choice.

Speaking of this, Chai Peng said with disdain: "In order to grab food, Pang Yi asked people to stare at the contract of the evening newspaper - whoever we talk business with, he will send someone to intervene, in addition to giving a lower price, he also gives the other party a kickback!"

In his words, it's called a strategy of taking advantage of the other's strengths. Of course, the old man knew that he was playing tricks, but he still ordered all salesmen not to engage in kickbacks and false invoicing tricks.

In this way, Pang Yi of course took advantage of it, and soon made the advertising revenue of Metropolis Daily exceed that of the evening newspaper.

"At the end of this year, Pang Yi got his wish and ascended to the throne of the group's leader, and the Metropolis Daily also ascended to heaven, under his leadership, it was upgraded and transformed into the main newspaper of the group, and its status jumped directly to the evening newspaper!"

Hearing this, Ma Fei inevitably felt sorry for the old president: This society is really always distorted! Those who abide by the rules always suffer, and those who take advantage of the advantages are always those who violate the rules!

"Since you know that the Metropolis Daily is doing nonsense, why doesn't the old man report it to the above?"

In this regard, Chai Peng's explanation was also very helpless: "Is it useful to reflect? At that time, I only wanted to make money, and I wished that someone could generate income for the unit by any means, but Pang Yi did this, and they just turned a blind eye." On the contrary, the old man did things according to the rules, but they said that he was conformist. ”

Ma Fei could only sigh at this: "Speaking of which, the reality is so cruel. He was a pioneer in the transformation of his unit, but in the end he became a sinner!"

"Isn't it? After Pang Yi took office, the situation became even more serious, the entire unit was in charge of the economy, and the task of generating income was heavy, coupled with the policy tilt, the budget of the evening newspaper was cut again and again, so that the old man could not lead the team to complete the task for two consecutive years! Now it's good, let alone returning to the top of the group, he almost didn't even keep the position of president!"

Chai Peng said that the old president was under the pressure of the group's top management headed by Pang Yi, and carried out his work in accordance with the rules with the evening newspaper, and he also made it clear that he had given up his plan to go up, so he lived a relatively quiet life.

In other words, Pang Yi relaxed the pressure on the evening newspaper only after confirming that his biggest competitor was soft.

Although the old man was soft on the surface, he secretly did not relax for a moment in the investigation of Pang Yi. Because he decided that if someone like Pang Yi led the group, sooner or later there would be a big mess! The old man didn't want to see the evening newspaper he founded go wrong, and of course he didn't want to see the group have an accident, so of course he had to do something......

According to Chai Peng's description, the old president played a trick of lying on his back and trying his courage, on the surface, he obeyed Pang Yi's words and did not compete, but in fact, he was letting several henchmen pay close attention to Pang Yi's every move.

Eventually, they found some clues.

It turned out that after Pang Yi was promoted to chairman, he controlled the power of the entire group - although the control of the evening newspaper and daily newspaper was slightly weaker, but the signboard of the metropolitan newspaper alone was enough for him to fill his pocket!

At this time, the so-called paid news report, through some clever operation, becomes an advertising campaign that meets the regulations. The so-called spending money to buy peace has become safeguarding the interests of customers. The so-called selling of officials and lords to give and receive from each other privately has become the selection of the talented and capable, and the capable live in it......

Gradually, Pang Yi almost turned the top of the group into his own mountain, and regarded Metropolis Daily as his own backyard.

The old man found that Pang Yi had a close relationship with the bosses of several companies, and often met and partyed with these people, and their propaganda advertisements often appeared in the newspapers.

It stands to reason that this kind of private communication is not a violation of discipline, but as long as you pay a little attention, you can find that for several years, there has not been any negative report on these companies in the Metropolis Daily, and even in all the newspapers and magazines of the entire group!

"The most obvious example is one year when there was a quality problem with the property in Guangji Real Estate, which caused a series of complaints and a lot of uproar. At that time, it was the initial stage of Amagi Media Group, and it was also a period of fierce competition between our two units, but when Amagi Business Daily sent people to keep an eye on this matter, Metropolis Daily was stunned and did not move at all!

The reason given by Pang Yi is that this kind of thing should wait for the authoritative appraisal results of relevant departments to come out before intervening, so as to avoid triggering market panic and affecting social stability, and also take the social responsibility of the media as an example.

In short, he made a bunch of high-sounding excuses to settle the matter, regardless of the news of the media. However, at that time, he was very profitable, and everyone's income in the group was rising, which led to his prestige being extremely high, so no one stood up against it.

But the grapevine said that this was the result of the boss of Guangji Real Estate to his crisis public relations. In the end, they successfully survived the crisis of trust through a series of advertorials and advertisements published in Metropolis Daily, and Pang Yi also received a large amount of benefit fees!"

Hearing this, Ma Fei inevitably raised his vigilance: the background he said earlier didn't sound like it was fake, and it could be verified from other places, but this so-called gossip was a bit worth playing.

Chi Chi asked: "So the old man followed the clues of this gossip and began to investigate?"

Chai Peng nodded: "Yes, although he couldn't find any substantive evidence in the end, this didn't prevent him from making a move on Pang Yi!"

He said that the old president wanted to grab Pang Yi's pigtails and sent someone to conduct a thorough investigation of the matter, but the results were not satisfactory - Pang Yi's accounts were done cleanly, and there seemed to be no flaws on the Guangji real estate side, and there was no evidence at all to prove that there was any private transaction between the two of them.

Just when the old man was a little discouraged, Guangji Real Estate had another accident, and a financial manager was suspected of embezzlement, so he secretly went through the procedures for going abroad and absconded directly!

This was also a sensational incident at the time, and it was also spread in the real estate circle, but Guangji Real Estate did not choose to report the case, and it was reported that this was because the manager had many ulterior secrets, and they had scruples and did not dare to make trouble.

"Taking advantage of this moment, the old man finally had a good talk with Pang Yi!" Chai Peng said with a lot of spittle, as if this series of wonderful chess was all seen by his own eyes, "After this meeting, Pang Yi restrained a lot, promised to pay close attention to the news quality and professional style of various newspapers and periodicals, and also relaxed the suppression of the evening newspaper, which has led to many years of peace and quiet, and it is also the reason why Pang Yi still does not dare to be too presumptuous after the old man retires!"
