Chapter 54: The Handle

When the dust settled on the construction of the radio and television station, Liu Hong began to consider the issue of the leadership group again. Although the municipal party committee has already allocated all the team members to the main station, some people in the team do not meet Liu Hong's wishes.

As early as the late 1990s, after the Municipal Party Committee appointed Liu Hong and others as deputy county-level cadres in the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television, it withdrew the right of the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television to appoint cadres at the deputy department level.

Liu Hong's biggest headache is Kang Jiangchuan, the deputy director in charge of news.

Kang Jiangchuan graduated from the journalism department of a prestigious university, started as a front-line reporter at a radio station, and successively served as deputy director and director of the news department. When Liu Hong was transferred to the head of the Cultural Bureau, and the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee promoted Cao Jianhua to the director of the TV station, he was also promoted to the deputy director of the Anxi TV station.

Kang Jiangchuan is only in his early 30s, diligent and studious, skilled in business, and likes to innovate, which has won the appreciation and reuse of Deputy Mayor Ye Peiying. However, Kang Jiangchuan also has his own weaknesses, he is arrogant, self-serving, sometimes lacks a sense of the overall situation, and often sets up sensitive topics in news programs without authorization, and was once seriously criticized by the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee.

One day, the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee called and asked to set up a column entitled "Talking about the Past Five Years" in the "Anxi News" to publicize and display the brilliant achievements made by the current Municipal Party Committee in party building, urban construction, and mass life in the past five years. However, for several days, the television station did not make any movement. Anthy News continues to conduct interviews and reports in accordance with its own propaganda plan.

When the propaganda minister saw that his decree could not be carried out on the radio and television station, he was furious, grabbed the phone and severely criticized Liu Hong.

Liu Hong, who was full of ambition, was criticized by his superiors, and his face became crooked with anger.

She immediately called Kang Jiangchuan to the office and shouted: "Kang Tai, why is there no shadow in the report on the achievements of the past five years? Why is there no column for "Talking about the Past Five Years?" Then what do you want to do? Do you want the TV station to close down or do you want to kidnap the leadership group with your own will? You say, you explain it clearly to me!"

Kang Jiangchuan replied nonchalantly: "July 1 has just broadcast the achievement report for 5 years, and it hasn't been more than two months, will anyone watch it again?"

Liu Hong angrily reprimanded: "Are you the director of Taiwan or am I the director of Taiwan? Listen to you or to the minister of propaganda? After 10 years of journalistic work, how did you become so free and careless and have no political consciousness at all?"

Kang Jiangchuan saw that Liu Hong was angry, so he said with a soothing cheek: "News programs eat leftovers every day, and the audience is not a fool. Okay, I'll open a column for you tomorrow, okay?"

Liu Hong slapped his hand on the table with a "snap" and shouted: "Open a column for me, are you the director of the station for me Liu Hong?" Let me tell you, Kang Jiangchuan, a special column must be unconditionally set up in today's news, and the headlines must broadcast reports on achievements. Otherwise, you will go to the municipal party committee to take the blame and accept the serious punishment of the organization!"

Kang Jiangchuan walked away.

Liu Hong then telephoned the propaganda minister to admit his mistake: "Minister, you are right in your criticism! After receiving the instructions, our deputy director in charge of news did not convey the instructions to me, nor did he make timely arrangements. This responsibility rests with me. I pledge to resolutely obey the correct leadership of the Propaganda Department and never repeat such mistakes. Tonight, the first report will be launched, and I would like to ask the minister to correct it. ”

After listening to Liu Hong's words, the propaganda minister's anger also disappeared by half, and his attitude eased a lot: "Liu Tai, you must pay good attention to the construction of the work style of cadres and workers, otherwise the municipal party committee and government will not rest assured. ”

Liu Hong agreed again and again.

Liu Hong immediately convened a meeting of the Taiwan leading body and middle-level cadres to study the documents, rules, and regulations on political discipline and propaganda discipline, and repeatedly stressed that all actions should be subject to commands and that one should not make one's own opinions.

That night's "Anzai News" broadcast a column of "Talking about the past 5 years" on time.

The fact that the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee did not call shows that they are satisfied with the report, at least there is no problem with the content.

Liu Hong was relieved at this time.

Within two days, Liu Hong received a call from Director Meng of the Anxi Industrial and Commercial Bureau: "Liu Tai, hello? There is something I want to trouble you, today a reporter from your station brought a customer to the industrial and commercial bureau to report the problem of one of our industrial and commercial offices. I've promised to give them a solution. As for the matter, we should not report it, because we have already recommended the advanced deeds of this industrial and commercial office to the State Administration and are ready to set an example for the national industrial and commercial system to follow. However, your reporter insisted on covering the report, and said that he would ask you when he returned. You just raise your hand, the relationship between our two families is usually not bad. ”

Liu Hong said politely: "Hello, Director Meng! I don't know what you said yet." Don't worry, I'll take care of it. Thank you for your great support of our advertising over the years. Don't worry, what's this little thing? I'll let you call me personally. ”

Meng Buyuan still told uneasily: "I know that you are a busy person, please pay attention to this matter in your busy schedule!"

Liu Hong smiled heartily and said, "Director Meng, you can put 10,000 hearts." That's a big deal for me. I'll deal with it now. ”

After Liu Hong and Meng Buyuan finished talking on the phone, they immediately called Xiao Luo, the news editor of the day, and arranged: "Xiao Luo, did you have any report criticizing the industrial and commercial office today? Yes? You took down that report for me. Remember, in the future, all reports on public opinion supervision involving the industrial and commercial and taxation departments must be reviewed by me, otherwise they will not be broadcast. ”

Xiao Luo replied: "Okay, Liu Tai, I'll withdraw now." ”

After the "Anzai News" broadcast the headline achievement report that night, the second news item was the one that criticized the industrial and commercial office.

Liu Hong, who was watching TV, was so angry that he was about to suffocate.

As soon as she grabbed the phone, she asked the news editor Xiao Luo: "Xiao Luo, what's the matter? I called you specifically to tell you not to be on this news, don't you remember? Do you have ears on the soles of your feet?"

Xiao Luo replied tremblingly, "Liu Tai, I remember your words. It was Kangtai who had to let it go. ”

Liu Hong raised his voice and asked, "Why did Kang Tai make this report?"

Xiao Luo let out a cry and said, "Because the customer who complained is a friend of Kangtai." ”

Liu Hong was so angry that he threw the microphone on the table.

In order to do a good job in Kang Jiangchuan's ideological work, Liu Hong talked to him many times, but because Kang Jiangchuan was always unconvinced by Liu Hong's amateur education and strong practices from the bottom of his heart, he not only refused to admit his mistakes, but also defended himself with the so-called foreign media's practices, and his tone was full of disdain and contempt.

Liu Hong saw that Kang Jiangchuan did not have the slightest repentance and belonged to the incurable diehards, so he decided to teach Kang Jiangchuan a good lesson, and he must break the fixed thinking in his mind, so that he would be completely defeated, otherwise there would be no peace on the side of the main station.

From then on, Liu Hong indiscriminately vetoed all things proposed or arranged by Kang Jiangchuan, and resolutely supported everything that Kang Jiangchuan opposed. Seeing the wind and steering the rudder, the other cadres blindly followed Liu Hong and Kang Jiangchuan to oppose him.

Kang Jiangchuan is not Liu Hong's opponent at all. Except for the arrogance of his body, where did he have any way to deal with it. After a few rounds, he was physically and mentally exhausted, disheartened, and had no intention of fighting anymore.

On September 9, the Municipal Party Committee held a meeting in the auditorium to commend outstanding teachers and celebrate Teachers' Day. He Yuntian, secretary of the municipal party committee, attached great importance to this conference, not only led four sets of teams to participate in the conference, but also personally presented awards to outstanding teachers.

Who knows, the TV reporter sent by the news department of the main station took a tape that should have been scrapped when the magnetic powder fell off in a daze, and the images taken back were all white paths, and there was no way to edit a complete piece of news.

Kang Jiangchuan had no choice but to use the announcer's image to broadcast the content of the news, and did not broadcast a single picture of the meeting.

Liu Hong immediately seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to convene a small meeting of the General Assembly to seriously criticize the Ministry of Information, stressing the need to investigate the ideological root causes of major mistakes and the responsibility of the leadership, and pointed the spearhead directly at Kang Jiangchuan, the leader in charge of the news, and also made a detailed report to Vice Mayor Ye Peiying on this as a major political accident.

After learning of this incident, He Yuntian criticized the main station, but he explicitly instructed the main station not to deal with the reporters involved, but to conscientiously draw lessons and lessons, strengthen the education and training of the news team, and avoid repeating such mistakes in the future.

Liu Hong suppressed He Yuntian's instructions and refused to convey them to the team, and still did not forgive Kang Jiangchuan, and the small meeting of the conference must mention this matter, and ordered Kang Jiangchuan to suspend his post for reflection and make a profound examination.

One day, Liu Hong held a special team meeting to discuss the issue of Kang Jiangchuan. She first spoke to criticize Kang Jiangchuan, setting the basic tone for the meeting.

Wu Shifei continued Liu Hong's topic and said: "Liu Tai's criticism is very correct. Comrade Kang Jiangchuan, as deputy director in charge of news, has a weak political awareness and is not politically sensitive, and now he needs to reflect on it. I agree with Liu Tai's handling opinion. ”

Liu Hong saw that the other team members were silent, so he asked to speak one by one.

Cao Jianhua, Zhou Zheng, Xiang Dang, and others expressed their support for Liu Hong's decision, and hoped that Kang Jiangchuan would correctly understand his own problems and correct his mistakes at an early date.

People are not as good as heaven. Kang Jiangchuan originally planned to overthrow Liu Hong and change the dynasty to become the director, but he never expected that his handle would fall into Liu Hong's hands, and he had no power to fight back.

Except for the sympathy of Yang Li, Du Juan and a few hardcore followers, he could no longer find anyone to support him.

In desperation, Kang Jiangchuan found the head of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee and Ye Peiying, and resolutely asked to be transferred from Anxi Radio and Television Station.

In the end, the municipal party committee arranged for Kang Jiangchuan to go to the Anxi City Federation of Literary and Art Circles to replace Yu Siwei, who was about to retire, as the chairman, which was temporarily disappeared from Liu Hong's eyes.

She immediately had a heart-to-heart talk with Cao Jianhua, hoping that he would take charge of radio and television news programs.

Cao Jianhua was bored with cumbersome administrative affairs, because he was the director of the station and had no choice. Now that he heard that he was going to be in charge of the news again, he was naturally very happy in his heart, and he agreed to come down.

At the end, Liu Hong specially instructed: "Cao Tai, I am most relieved that you are in charge of the news." However, the responsibility for propaganda is now much heavier than before. I hope you must understand the intentions of the municipal party committee and the municipal government and help not to add to the chaos. All reports involving the leaders of the municipal party committee and government and the supervision of public opinion must pass through this hurdle of mine. ”

Cao Jianhua raised his eyes and stared at Liu Hong for a long time, then nodded slowly.

Liu Hong, who won the victory, was once again convinced of his extraordinary energy and unparalleled fighting spirit.

At the end of the year, Liu Hong was awarded the title of "Broadcasting Director", and also became the winner of the "May Day Labor Medal" in Hexi Province and the director of the top ten radio and television stations in the country.
