Zhang Jie took Guo Yang to get off the bus at the bus stop at the entrance of a supermarket, before entering the supermarket, she bought a copy of the Southern Morning News from the newsstand at the entrance of the supermarket, flipped to the second page and pointed to a manuscript and said with a smile: "Director Guo, I still want to do a special topic on green rice today, you see, this is my manuscript yesterday." ”

"Pure natural green rice sells well in Shencheng-" Guo Yang took the newspaper and glanced at the manuscript, "This kind of rice can't see any difference from ordinary rice in terms of grains, but it smells like a zongzi." On the signboard, we saw the introduction of this kind of rice: bamboo fragrant rice is a unique product that cannot be synthesized artificially in the world today, with delicate taste, pleasant fragrance, rich in chlorophyll, cellulose, carotene, vitamins, selenium, iodine, calcium and other trace elements and 21 kinds of amino acids and other components; clear fire and detoxify, strengthen stomach and digestion, calm the nerves and nourish the brain, anti-hypertensive arthritis; the eating method is no need to wash (so as not to lose nutrients), and the same cooking method as ordinary rice......

Guo Yang frowned secretly, and said in his heart, where are you a press release, it is clearly a soft advertisement for the business.

And more importantly, as a reborn, Guo Yang actually knows that this so-called green rice is a gimmick for merchants to deceive people, and the green color "bamboo fragrant rice" that has been popular on the market for a period of time is artificially dyed, which is harmful to the human body.

As if seeing Guo Yang's doubts, Zhang Jie smiled and said: "This is actually the advertiser that our Director An brought to the newspaper, and we advertise to businesses in the form of soft news......"

Even if Zhang Jie doesn't say it, Guo Yang also understands the twists and turns in between. Don't say that businesses will pay newspapers for advertising, that is, reporters Zhang Jie, including Anna, who writes news, will have corresponding "benefit fees".

Guo Yang frowned and said, "Reporter Zhang, is this kind of green rice real or fake? Why do I feel that it is not very reliable, the rice turns green, is it dyed?"

Guo Yang is actually just a test.

Zhang Jie smiled: "How is it possible? Director Guo, this is a pure natural, green rice grown with the world's first-class new technology, with extremely high nutritional value, and has been approved by the relevant ministries and commissions of the state!"

Guo Yang took a deep breath, and said in his heart that he was really talking nonsense with his eyes open...... It is estimated that Zhang Jie will not believe these words.

But Guo Yang knew very well that if he and others came to the Southern Morning Post on the first day, if they pierced this layer of window paper when they first arrived, it was estimated that they would offend a group of people, and they would not be able to stay in this newspaper office in the future.

So Guo Yang suppressed all the doubts, silently followed Zhang Jie into this large supermarket, and went straight to the counter of green rice.

The representative of the merchant had long known that Zhang Jie would come, and immediately greeted him with a few staff members, gave another enthusiastic introduction, and let Zhang Jie take pictures.

Guo Yang glanced at the side, and saw that the price of green rice dyed by this demagogic chemical raw material was as high as 11 yuan and five per kilogram, and he couldn't help but gasp.

Guo Yang didn't know how this deceptive green rice, which endangered public food safety, sold well in Shencheng, but he thought it had something to do with the media propaganda.

Guo Yang opened his mouth several times, but swallowed back the words he blurted out.

Even if he recklessly pierced this layer of window paper, he would not be able to stop the Southern Morning Post from publicizing it, and, judging from the current situation, even if the Southern Morning Post does not publicize it, other media will intervene. This has obviously formed a chain of interests, and the voice of a journalist from the north, if he wants to compete with this kind of interest group, he will not know how to die.

The representative of the merchant surrounded Zhang Jie for a long time, and Guo Yang found out that he had stuffed something into Zhang Jie's bag out of the corner of his eye. Guo Yang stood aside and sighed secretly, it seems that the more economically developed the region, the more completely market-oriented the media, the deeper the temptation of interests and the penetration of capital.

Zhang Jie came over happily, she didn't notice Guo Yang's strange appearance, and continued to introduce the situation of the Southern Morning Post to Guo Yang, from her mouth, Guo Yang knew that Anna's husband Sheng Tao was the deputy director of the advertising department of the Southern Morning Post, no wonder Anna would arrange for Zhang Jie to write this kind of advertising advertorial.

Guo Yang knows very well in his heart that Zhang Jie may not be consumed by profit, regardless of his journalistic conscience for a little profit. First of all, Zhang Jie herself does not necessarily know the harmfulness of green rice, and she has also been bewitched by the merchants.

In addition, this kind of green rice is so popular in the city of Shenzhen that everyone is competing to buy it, and not only the Southern Morning News, but also the trading company that deals in green rice has also put considerable advertising expenses in several other newspapers.

Zhang Jie smiled: "Director Guo, there's a coffee house over there, let's go have something to drink, and I'll write out the manuscript by the way." ”

Guo Yang sighed, didn't say anything, and walked behind Zhang Jie.

Zhang Jie sat in the coffee house, buried her head in her interview book, and concocted a 500-word news advertorial in a short time. Zhang Jie looked at her manuscript and seemed to be very satisfied, so she smiled and pushed it to Guo Yang: "Director Guo, help me see if there is anything wrong?"

Guo Yang smiled bitterly and took it and hurriedly glanced at it a few times, what can this kind of advertorial be like, it is nothing more than an irresponsible touting of the efficacy of green rice.

Guo Yang reluctantly smiled and said: "It's good, Reporter Zhang, there's no problem - but, Reporter Zhang, I personally think that there is no problem for the newspaper to advertise them, and advertising in the form of news is a bit of a problem......

Guo Yang still couldn't help but be tempted.

If it's an ordinary commercial, he doesn't bother to care at all, because it has nothing to do with him. But it is a matter of the safety of the people's table, he knows that this kind of green rice is harmful, and he still has to watch the Southern Morning News publicize it, and he can't get over his conscience.

Zhang Jie smiled disappreciatively: "Director Guo, you have come to learn from the market-oriented reform of our newspaper, but this concept needs to be changed." How can the media be marketized? It is not just the marketization of the system, but also the need to face the market and seize the market, assume responsibility for its own profits and losses, and create economic benefits. If we don't create profits, what will our newspaper staff have for more than 1,000 employees, and what will we rely on to pay salaries and bonuses?"

"In a metropolis like Deep City, to be honest, you can't live on wages alone. Director Guo, I know that your northern media call this kind of advertorial, but for us, this is down-to-earth news - you look at how hot people's sales are? The eyes of the common people are bright, and the things that have been tested by the market are the most reliable, and my manuscript is not exaggerated, but it is a realistic description of the facts, green rice sells well in Shencheng, and has formed a unique food culture, leading healthy eating habits......

Zhang Jie's series of words made Guo Yang speechless.

He knew that if he continued to talk about it, it was estimated that not only would it arouse Zhang Jie's disgust, but even Anna's side would rebound.

They just came to the Southern Morning News, and they didn't know how deep and shallow this matter was, and they couldn't easily open their mouths to make enemies because they were impulsive.

Guo Yang secretly gritted his teeth, calmed down, and said with a smile: "It seems that my concept is too backward and I can't keep up with the rhythm of the metropolis!"

Zhang Jie also smiled: "After a long time, Director Guo will change his concept, to be honest, there is still a big difference between Shencheng and your north, you look at this city, it is changing with each passing day, and there are many people who make money and make a fortune in this city, I also came to Shencheng from the mainland three years ago to work hard, and it is not easy to gain a firm foothold here." ”

Zhang Jie is not a few years older than Guo Yang. After graduating from university, I came to work in Shencheng and have long adapted to the rhythm of life in Shencheng.

Zhang Jie glanced at Guo Yang: "My work today is over, it's still early, otherwise, I'll take Director Guo around?"

Zhang Jie's impression of Guo Yang is actually quite good. At the age of twenty, he is tall and has an elegant face, and at this age he has mixed into the middle level of a newspaper, which obviously shows his own excellence.

Guo Yang smiled: "It's okay, then thank you Reporter Zhang." ”

"Don't be so polite, I see that we are about the same age, and I don't call you your position, you just call me by my name, anyway, we have to get along for half a year, why are you so polite. Zhang Jie picked up her bag: "Let's go, I'll take you to the museum in the deep city to visit." ”

Zhang Jie went to settle the bill, Guo Yang took out a hundred-yuan bill and handed it to the waiter in the coffee house: "I'll come, how can I let the lady break the bill." ”

Zhang Jie giggled: "I didn't expect you to have a pretty manly demeanor, Cheng, you invite me, next time I invite you!"

City C. Bluestar Group.

Shen Xiaoman directly approached Zhou Dingnan, chairman of Bluestar Group, and put forward the idea of replacing the general manager of Bluestar Steel.

Zhou Dingnan frowned when he heard this.

Bluestar Steel has been acquired by Ai Bing and has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ai Bing Group, and in this sense, it is understandable that Ai Bing wants to appoint his own people to take charge of this enterprise.

But Zhou Dingnan always felt that the Zhou family and Guo Yang were a family, and there was no need for Ai Bing and Lan Xing to be so clear. Moreover, the management team sent by Bluestar has been in charge of this company for a long time, and he is worried that it will cause instability in the company if he suddenly wants to change the head of the management team.

Of course, there is another factor: Zhou Dingchuan is Zhou Dingnan's cousin after all, Zhou Dingchuan is the vice president of Bluestar Group, in fact, he has no substantive management authority, his territory is in the steel company, once Ai Bing expells Zhou Dingchuan, Zhou Dingchuan will definitely make trouble.

Zhou Dingnan said softly: "Mr. Shen, there is a sentence that I don't know whether I should say or not. ”

Shen Xiaoman smiled slightly: "Dong Zhou, please speak!"

"To be honest, after all, you Ai Bing Group does not understand business and technology, our team has managed the steel company from the beginning of construction, in order to ensure the normal operation of the steel company, I suggest that it is better to retain the existing management team, so as not to cause problems, don't you say?"

Shen Xiaoman snorted: "We are playing to keep the entire existing team, but we just want to adjust the candidate for the general manager." Because I feel that Mr. Zhou (Zhou Dingchuan) is the vice president of Bluestar Group after all, and he is the general manager of the steel company, which is actually a talent. ”

Shen Xiaoman said it politely.

"There's no problem with that. On the one hand, we Lanxing and Ai Bing are one family, and the family does not speak two words, our people are Ai Bing's people, so why should we be so clear? On the other hand, if Mr. Shen still thinks that it is still not suitable, I can actually suggest that Dingchuan resign from his position as the general manager of the Blue Star Group and concentrate on being the general manager of his steel company!" Zhou Dingnan said in a deep voice.

Shen Xiaoman raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart that Blue Star is Blue Star, Ai Bing is Ai Bing, not to mention that Guo Yang and your daughter are not married, even if they are married, they are completely different things.

The people of the Blue Star Group are the general managers of the companies of the Ai Bing Group, which is unreasonable in any way.

Shen Xiaoman came prepared, so naturally he would not stop there.

She smiled, gave up some kind words, and said directly: "Dong Zhou, I'll tell you a few words of truth too." Ai Bing Group spent one billion yuan to acquire a steel company, if the management rights can not be obtained in their own hands, we actually say that the shareholders will not agree. We ask for your understanding of our difficulties. ”

Pushing Gao Lan out as a shield is Shen Xiaoman's first bargaining chip in the showdown with Zhou Dingnan today. If she still can't get Zhou Dingnan's approval, she has the next step.

Zhou Dingnan frowned: "How much equity does Gaolan Fund have? How much voice can they have? If you insist, what else can she say? Anyway, they are just venture capitalists, not responsible for specific business management!"

Shen Xiaoman slowly raised the teacup and took a sip, she smiled and said: "Small shareholders are also shareholders, and we can't ignore the opinions of shareholders." Moreover, from a management point of view, if we can't even send a general manager to the Ai Bing Group, this steel company will ......"

Shen Xiaoman deliberately paused when he said this, and looked at Zhou Dingnan's face.

With Shen Xiaoman's strong personality and style, she can be so "moved with affection and reason" with Zhou Dingnan, completely because the Zhou family is Guo Yang's father-in-law.

Zhou Dingnan took a deep breath, and then he realized that Shen Xiaoman's attitude towards replacing the general manager was quite resolute. He didn't know if this was what Guo Yang meant. But Shen Xiaoman is the president of Ai Bing Group, and his words and deeds represent Guo Yang, the boss.

Zhou Dingnan's face was calm and said: "It seems that Shen has always made up his mind. In this case, I can't stop it, this is already your wholly-owned subsidiary, you don't want to change the general manager, that is, to replace the entire management team, I can't say anything. However, I still suggest that you think carefully, after all, it is a steel company is not a commercial enterprise, the position of the general manager is very critical, not only to understand management but also to understand technology, are you sure you can select the right talent?"

Shen Xiaoman saw that Zhou Dingnan was alive and smiled: "It's no problem, Dong Zhou, I'm going to dig a middle-level cadre who understands technology from Northern Iron and Steel, there should be no problem." ”

"Northern Iron and Steel, such a large state-owned enterprise, and a middle-level cadre, can you easily dig it up?" Zhou Dingnan didn't believe it at all.

Shen Xiaoman smiled and reached out to gather his own distribution: "Dong Zhou, it's very simple, give him a high salary and corresponding autonomy! I have reached a preliminary cooperation intention with him!"

has said all this, no matter whether Zhou Dingnan is uncomfortable or not, he knows that this matter is irreparable. Zhou Dingnan sent Shen Xiaoman away, and when he walked back to the office, he saw Zhou Dingchuan hurriedly walking over with a gloomy face.

Zhou Dingchuan has obviously gotten the news.

Zhou Dingchuan said in a deep voice: "Chairman, what is Shen Xiaoman doing here? Is it to remove me, the general manager?"

Zhou Dingnan was originally a little uncomfortable because Shen Xiaoman insisted on changing to the person who wanted to change Blue Star, but after listening to Zhou Dingchuan's disrespectful tone, he felt calm. He glanced at Zhou Dingchuan and said lightly: "Yes, what's wrong? Isn't this normal? Bluestar Steel is no longer our company, it is a subsidiary of Ai Bing Group, and it is everyone's decision to use whoever is the general manager!"

Zhou Dingchuan was a little angry: "Chairman, this is an enterprise that we founded single-handedly!" In the past two years, we have worked hard day and night on the construction site, and now it is finally completed, and we have been picked up by others to make a ready-made bargain, which is ...... It's just the beginning, and it's too much to kick us old people away!"

For Zhou Dingchuan, Bluestar Steel is not only power and self-reserved land, but also vested interests. He was in charge of the construction of the entire project for two years, and he made a lot of extra money from the project, which is something that a fool can understand.

Therefore, Shen Xiaoman's first-class revealed the intention of replacing the general manager, and Zhou Dingchuan was anxious, almost jumping off the wall in a hurry.

Zhou Dingnan didn't expect Zhou Dingchuan to realize so drastically. He frowned and said in a deep voice: "Dingchuan, you have to think clearly, people have acquired our business, not picked up ready-made cheap, Ai Bing has spent a billion in cash! If you say this kind of excessive, just say it in front of me, and you are not allowed to talk about it in front of the people of Ai Bing Group! I warn you, our Blue Star and Ai Bing are a family, you don't want to stir up trouble in it...... Since people are going to change the general manager, you should withdraw it as soon as possible!"

Zhou Dingnan was too lazy to talk to Zhou Dingchuan again, and left after speaking, which was a formal statement.
