Chapter 98: The Storm

Xiahou Mingqi will not give much time to the "Operation with the Wind" task force, because this action is only the first action after he came to the newspaper, if even this step is so tortuous and bumpy, then there is no need to do the work in the future, just eat and wait for death. He felt that he was still young and did not want to stay in the Beijiang Evening News for the rest of his life, but if there was a little hope, he still wanted to return to the group.

In addition to traditional media and emerging media, Bac Giang Newspaper Group has more than a dozen newspapers and branches, and is also involved in various industries such as finance, real estate, culture and media.

China's media merger wars are equally brutal.

In Bac Giang province, Bac Giang Newspaper Group is undoubtedly the leader of the local media, except for the monopoly of the provincial news media, almost all the newspapers of more than a dozen prefecture-level cities have been brought under its command, and only two or three prefecture-level media are left to struggle desperately.

In terms of level, Bac Giang Evening News is only a newspaper under Bac Giang Newspaper Group, which is the same as other metropolitan newspapers, evening newspapers, morning newspapers and newspapers in various cities. However, after all, the Bac Giang Evening News belongs to the lineage and is the eldest son of the Bac Giang Newspaper Group, so it has a pivotal position in the entire system.

Because of this, every time the group holds a high-level meeting, the president of Bac Giang Evening News has a tradition of attending. As for whether or not you can enter the group's senior leadership team, it varies from person to person. If the boss of this evening newspaper has strong ability and strong relationships, he will naturally have the opportunity to enter the high-level sequence of the group. In the history of Bac Giang Evening News, there is also a precedent of this kind. But in general, this is very difficult.

Chen Jizhou knew what Xiahou Mingqi was thinking, so he was naturally very anxious. He didn't want to have the whole half-pulled project for the president to review. After weeks of intense and hectic work, he felt that he could come up with a decent enough report to report the progress to Xiahou Mingqi.

Looking at this satisfactory investigation report, Chen Jizhou seems to appreciate a graduation work. If nothing else, "Operation with the Wind" can come to an end. And this may also be the masterpiece of his professional career.

"President, when would it be convenient for you to update you on the progress of Operation Suifeng. ”

"Is there a breakthrough?" Xiahou Mingqi had asked this sentence countless times, but each time it was a disappointing result. He also understands that this is an extremely difficult investigation after all, and it cannot be completed smoothly and overnight.

"Yes, I think...... It's time to wrap it up. Chen Jizhou hesitated, but still said it.

Hearing Chen Jizhou's affirmative answer, Xiahou Mingqi's hanging heart relaxed. This old Chen has always been cautious, and if he can say such confident words, there must be good news.

"Well, I have a lot of work to do during the day, and I don't have time. Let's set a time after work. ”

"Okay, or is it the same as last time?

"Yes. ”

Xiahou Mingqi felt that the last meeting was a successful experience, and everyone spoke freely and was able to find many overlooked problems. Of course, a thousand people have a thousand ideas, and the final decision must be in the hands of Xiahou Mingqi.

This is called democracy plus centralism.

Finally got up to work. During this time, Chen Jizhou repeatedly checked the data and information in the investigation report. Each participant also repeatedly organized the content of the speech in their hearts. The big exam is approaching, and everyone is more nervous than usual.

This time period was so short for Xiahou Mingqi that he couldn't wait to split himself in half to work. The newspaper booth is too big, and he needs to decide everything. During working hours, there is simply no time to think about the macro and strategic aspects of the newspaper.

Ever since he came to the newspaper, this phenomenon has been bothering him. However, Xiahou Mingqi has already formed a set of plans in his heart - after the action with the wind, it is the reform of the newspaper's decision-making mechanism.

He also wants to break through and change, and he also wants to leave his own remarkable achievements in the history of Bac Giang Evening News. But he also understands that everything must be done gradually, and that speed is not enough.

The task force meeting began.

Everyone still sat down in the same order as last time, and this tacit understanding seemed to have become a rule.

Xiahou Mingqi took Chen Jizhou's investigation report. A4 paper-sized material, printed on 100 pages. At a cursory glance, the investigation report was divided into more than a dozen categories, each of which had several subheadings. Chen Jizhou is worthy of being born in writing work, and his content is a bit faceted and the arguments are sufficient.

Writing a report is somewhat similar to writing a research press release, and the secret is only three words: solid, solid, solid.

After Xiahou Mingqi finished reading it, he first made a short opening remark and handed the microphone to Chen Jizhou. Chen Jizhou threw bricks and stones, briefly introduced the progress of the investigation, and then handed the microphone to Xiao Li. This was the most important part of the meeting, and he decided to give the young man a chance.

Xiao Li was young after all, and his hands began to tremble before he could speak.

It stands to reason that the current post-90s and post-00s dare to fight and dare to break through, not afraid of the sky and the earth. But Xiao Li is an exception, he is introverted and doesn't talk much, and can even sit quietly in the office for a day without talking. However, what makes Chen Jizhou appreciate is that this guy works hard and rigorously, which is incomparable to anyone else.

Before starting his report, Xiao Li first cleared his throat and helped his glasses. For a newcomer who has just worked for a few years, being able to be in such a special position at the beginning of the work is a big test in itself. After all, discipline inspection work is all about fighting against violations of laws and regulations, and if you don't have years of cultivation and want to fight them, it's not easy to talk about it.

The so-called Tao is one foot high and the magic is one foot high, which is the truth.

"President, according to what we have learned, in the past four years, there have been 26 cases of illegal expenditures by financial personnel, involving more than 280 yuan, 34 cases of violations of rules and discipline by leading cadres, involving 7 leading cadres, and a number of amounts; and 108 cases of violations of law and discipline by editorial personnel, involving 33 journalists, amounting to about 900,000 yuan. The total amount is about 5 million yuan. ”

"What percentage of the people involved are incumbents?"

Xiao Li looked at the materials, his brain was running rapidly, and he was calculating the numbers, "Among the eight leading cadres, three are current leaders, five have left their posts, and the 33 reporters are all incumbents. ”

Hearing this number, Xiahou Mingqi's face became gloomy, and he understood that a problem had arisen: "Frankly speaking, I had expected the seriousness of the matter, but I didn't expect it to be so serious. ”

Xiahou Mingqi said, staring at Chen Jizhou in a blink of an eye, "Old Chen, you have made a lot of contributions this time. However, you did give me quite a problem. ”

Chen Jizhou smiled a little embarrassedly, "President, I was also taken aback by this result, but the problem of discipline violation has reached this point, and if we don't take effective measures to deal with it, it will inevitably be a big hidden danger for the development of the newspaper." ”

"So what do you think should be done to deal with these problems?"

"Those who violate the rules and regulations shall be punished in accordance with the rules and regulations of the newspaper, those who violate discipline shall be punished according to the relevant disciplines, and those who violate the law shall be handed over to the judicial organs for handling according to law! "Chen Jizhou first moved out of the laws and regulations, there are laws to follow, and how to decide the rest will be handed over to Xiahou Mingqi.

"What day is it today?" Xiahou Mingqi, who was in deep thought, raised his head suddenly, and looked at everyone with scattered eyes.

"Wednesday, the 20th. A task force member replied.

"Wednesday...... After the week passed, the Expo was over. Our report will come to an end," Xiahou Mingqi picked up the paper cup, took a sip of water, and because the water temperature was a little high, he hooked the edge of the quilt with his hand and put it on the table, "Lao Chen, you come up with a deal as soon as possible, but before the end of the World Expo, you must not move." All of you here must remember that all information about this operation must not be divulged to the outside world. ”

"President, what do you think about the punishment plan?" Chen Jizhou understood that he was just an executor, and the decision was in the hands of Xiahou Mingqi.

Xiahou Mingqi was silent for two minutes. After two minutes, he seemed to have made up his mind, and he jerked up from his chair and walked back and forth in the small space. Seeing this, everyone leaned their chairs against the wall and tried to make as much space as possible.

"I wasn't going to make it so early, but for now, it might have been better to make a decision sooner. My idea is that we can solve the problem of non-compliance at the newspaper level, so there is a lot of room for maneuver. Any problem involving the violation of the law is certainly very serious, and there is no need for us to hide it and resolutely deal with it in accordance with the law. ”

As soon as Xiahou Mingqi began to speak, Chen Jizhou quickly picked up a pen and paper as if he had received instructions and recorded it. Seeing this, the others hurriedly opened their notebooks and quickly recorded them.

Xiahou Mingqi paused, "What I'm going to say next, don't remember it, just understand it." In addition, I would like to stress once again that the content of today's meeting is strictly confidential. ”

Everyone quickly nodded in agreement and closed the book again.

"Regarding the issue of journalists' violations," Xiahou Mingqi looked around and continued, "you should make a specific assessment as soon as possible, assess the violations of each journalist, and rank them according to the degree of violations. There are only two levels of violation: general and serious. Those who violate the law in a relatively minor manner will not be dealt with, and those who violate the law in an ordinary degree will not be dealt with. where there are serious violations, punishment measures such as dismissal, transfer, or suspension of pay are to be employed. ”

Although Chen Jizhou didn't squeak, he understood Xiahou Mingqi's intentions very well.

Faced with such a large number of violations of laws and regulations, a smart solution is to generalize. Once the quantitative criteria are too detailed, it is bound to cause confusion.

On the other hand, from Xiahou Mingqi's point of view, dealing with these issues requires both discipline and business. If all journalists are punished for violating the law, what will happen to the newspaper's reporting business? Since things have come to such a point, we can only pay attention to strategy. For those who are not punished for "minor mistakes", the deterrent effect of "killing one to make an example" is also great enough.

"By the way, is the investigation and evidence collection stage of Operation Suifeng about to end?"

Chen Jizhou came back to his senses, "Oh...... At the moment, of course, in my opinion, if I look into it again, there may be more questions coming to the surface......"

Before Chen Jizhou finished speaking, Xiahou Mingqi couldn't wait to shake his hand, "Check or check, pick up the key points to check." If it's not a serious problem, don't look it any further. The law does not hold the public accountable. ”

"That's good. ”

"While continuing the investigation, we will form a handling opinion as soon as possible. ”

"Okay," Chen Jizhou recorded, as if he had thought of something, "By the way, president, what about the question of Xiangbei?"

"If you don't say it, I'll forget. Xiahou Mingqi patted his head, "According to the process, those who should provide materials to the judicial organs will provide materials." Uh, by the way, how many years has he been in prison?"

Chen Jizhou thought for a while and replied, "It should be about two and a half years, and there is still more than a year to go to prison." ”

"This is a mistake we have made, we must face it, we must admit it!" Xiahou Mingqi said.

Qu Changguo did not join such a high-level task force, so he naturally felt lost in his heart, and he even lost interest in meeting Ruan Yiyi. It's too difficult for a man, and if you let a man serve a woman with a day's pressure and exhaustion, it will inevitably taste like exhaustion.

Ruan Yiyi is a considerate woman, and naturally knows the importance of maintenance for a middle-aged man, and it is also a man who is useful to herself.

She dragged her friends to get some maca, all of which were made in authentic Yunnan, this woman was fair, the men in the family and the men in the wild each bought one, impartial, and treated equally.

Qu Changguo looked at this bag of maca full of fires and couldn't cry or laugh, this slut, how can Lao Tzu still have the heart to eat these? Besides, where do you let me put it? Put it at home, put it in the office, put it in the car? Isn't this looking for death?

What the is this tonic? It's poison! But it can't be helped, you have to eat it. It's just that I can't do this job, I'm not in the mood!

"Not in the mood? ”

Ruan Yiyi left behind a sentence full of imagination.

Qu Changguo couldn't sit still, not because the power of this medicine was too great, but because he felt that the situation in front of him was too unfavorable for him to sit still.

He couldn't help but make that mysterious call, and the two made an appointment to meet at the cross-river bridge on the outskirts of Hedong City.

"Why do you see you in this place every time?" Qu Changguo was in an irritable mood, and every time he came to this place, there was nothing good about it.

"Shall we see you at the newspaper office?" asked the man in black. The man in black didn't hear it loudly, and he was twenty years old. Every time they met, he was dressed like that: black with a hat, black baseball cap, black mask, black pants, black sneakers.

"Isn't it hot for you to wear so much?" Qu Changguo asked again, "Besides, it's so dark, who knows us." ”

"You've talked a lot today. I can tell you're in a bad mood. ”

"They're secretly carrying out an operation, I don't know the specifics, but it should be related to the previous case. I saw a string of names on the blackboard in Chen Jizhou's office, all of which were parties. Qu Changguo got to the point.

"You mean the new president?"

"Yes. ”

"I've told my boss all these things, don't worry, it's all under control. ”
