Chapter 46: Sunlight Group
Xu Qing was the last to walk into the conference room, which today was filled not only by the original Carney Media, but also by the management and staff of the Bay Area Times.
Looking at this crowd of people, Xu Qing has a sense of accomplishment, and in just a few months, he has turned a company that is about to collapse into a thriving potential company.
Although he used the method of copying books that many reborn people despise to achieve his current results, he also put in a lot of energy.
Well, copying books is really shameless, Xu Qing doesn't plan to copy books in the future, so he still takes things seriously.
Xu Qing retracted all kinds of messy thoughts in his heart, walked to the podium, and scanned the people in the audience with his eyes.
The originally noisy conference room slowly quieted down, and the people in the audience looked at Xu Qing with warm eyes.
For them, Xu Qing is not only a boss, but also an inspirational role model.
From a gentleman who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, he took the initiative to take over a company that is about to collapse and has no development potential, and in just a few months, it has become a company with a profit of more than tens of millions of dollars, and he is also a big writer who is popular all over the United States.
Follow such a boss, and you don't have to worry about the future of development.
In particular, the personnel of the "Bay Area Times" learned that they were acquired by Xu Qing, and very few people left.
They are in the media, and they have a clear understanding of Xu Qing's various information, they recognize Xu Qing's ability, and think that Xu Qing has great potential.
People go to high places, and these people naturally understand this truth, so most of them stay.
Xu Qing cleared his throat, tried the microphone, and after confirming that there was no problem, he said:
"Colleagues, good morning, today is the first time that so many colleagues are in a meeting together, I counted, there are more than 400 people, which makes me a little scared,
I had never spoken in front of so many people, and I was afraid that my tongue would tremble and I would not be able to speak before I went on stage, but fortunately I was able to speak fluently.
This is because when I see your faces, I am not afraid, no one present is more handsome than me, what am I afraid of, I am handsome and I have courage.
Well, the above is a joke, many people are still more handsome than me, especially the beautiful ladies, I have been smitten by you. ”
Xu Qing used some language that suited his age and some of the languages he saw on the Internet in his previous life to comprehensively say this opening sentence.
When Xu Qing spoke the opening speech, the people in the audience had already burst into very warm applause several times.
They like Xu Qing's opening remarks very much, humorous and interesting, and few people in the workplace will like the leader's speech to be boring and boring.
The speaking style is representative of the speaker's personality, and working under a humorous leader is far more interesting than a serious and demanding leader.
Xu Qing looked at the reactions of the people in the audience, knew that the opening remarks this time were successful, pressed his hand, and the conference room returned to calm, and continued:
"The purpose of today's meeting is clear to everyone, Carney Media has now been spun off from Carney Group and become an independent company.
The company's staff has also increased several times, and the Bay Area Times has been acquired, so it is now necessary to consolidate the company.
This integration will create new companies and new divisions, and many of you will have a change in your position. ”
Xu Qing paused when he said this, and there was a small discussion in the audience, which was soon calm and calm, and everyone looked at Xu Qing intently, and what Xu Qing said next had a great impact on them.
A new company, a new department, a change in positions means new opportunities and new challenges, and some people think in their minds that they may be able to get a promotion and a salary increase in this consolidation.
"First of all, I would like to announce that Carney Media has changed its name to Sunlight Group, hoping that our company can be like sunshine, full of strength and warmth, which is also our company's philosophy.
The Sunlight Group is the parent company and has several subsidiaries.
The original Carney Publishing House was changed to Sunlight Publishing Company, whose main business was to publish novels in various mainstream languages and genres, hoping to one day become a large publishing house like McGraw Hill.
The original Carney Newspaper merged with the Bay Area Times and became Sunlight Newspapers, which mainly distributed English-language newspapers in California, mainly with news content supplemented by serialized novels.
And then gradually expand the scope of circulation, hoping that one day in the United States, no, it should be the whole world to see the presence of the Sunlight newspaper, just like Mercado's News Corp., all over the world.
There is also a newly formed Sunlight Film and Television Company, whose main business is to invest in movies, TV series, variety shows, etc., and of course, I also hope that it will become the new giant of Hollywood. ”
Xu Qing paused again, this time there was less time to pause, because Xu Qing said a bit more information, and the people in the audience needed time to digest it.
The discussion sounded again, Xu Qing said that the film and television company was something they didn't expect, and some people couldn't help but worry that the film and television industry is a very money-consuming industry with a high probability of loss.
Moreover, Hollywood has always been controlled by several giant companies, and it is difficult for foreign forces to enter.
They are worried that Xu Qing will shift the company's focus to film and television companies, which is very detrimental to newspapers and publishing houses.
Their worries are not unfounded, Xu Qing used to be a gentleman who liked to play with women, and Hollywood beauties have always been very good.
If Xu Qing opens a film and television company because he wants to soak those beauties, the prospects of newspapers and publishing houses are very bad, and the future of these people is also miserable.
Fortunately, Xu Qing's hearing is good, and hearing what they are talking about in such a noisy voice, Xu Qing is a little speechless, clapping his hands and saying:
"Don't worry, the current focus of the Sunlight Group is still on publishing houses and newspapers, and the film and television company is now a framework, and there are no personnel.
I'm not going to put too much money into it in the short term, and I won't affect the development of publishing houses and newspapers, so I'm going to announce the main positions in the Sunlight Group. ”
The managers sitting in the front row heard Xu Qing's words, their waists straightened, their hands were placed, and Xu Qing's next words were related to their future.
"Jiang Lu, President of Sunlight Group, Britton Johansen, General Manager of Sunlight Newspaper, Yang Jin, General Manager of Sunlight Press, Cedric Mainer, Sales Director of Sunlight Group, Charlie Black, Human Resources Director of Sunlight Group......
Xu Qing announced dozens of new management positions, some newly added, some promoted from rank-and-file employees, and some former executives at the Bay Area Times.
After announcing the personnel changes, Xu Qing said that the office location, the original people of the "Bay Area Times" will move to the Grie Building, and the office area will continue to expand, Xu Qing will rent half of the 20th floor of the Glee Building.
Then the new managers spoke, and the meeting just ended at 12 o'clock in the morning, and all the staff of the company had a dinner together.
The completion of the company's integration is also a new opportunity and a new challenge for Xu Qing.
