Chapter 5: Giving you a chance to remove me from power

After Xu Mingzhang introduced Xu Qing in the office area of the newspaper and publishing staff, he and Xu Qing came to the conference room, while Chen Huiyun and the bodyguards stayed outside the conference room.

In the conference room sat the management of Carney Media, and when these people saw Xu Mingzhang coming in, they immediately got up to say hello.

Xu Mingzhang walked to the end of the conference table, pressed his hand, and these people sat down.

"Today I am here at Carney Media to announce one main thing. Xu Mingzhang paused, pointed at Xu Qing and said, "This is Xu Qing, the new general manager of Carney Media. ”

Xu Mingzhang applauded after speaking, and the reaction of those employees was the same, these managers were also stunned for a moment before applauding, and the applause was much smaller than that of the employees.

"Jiang Lu was demoted to deputy general manager of Carney Media because he slept in the office, and his salary remained the same, and Mina was given a serious warning because he was not dressed properly and smoked in the company's non-smoking area, Jiang Lu, Mina, do you have any objections?"

"I have no objections. Mina immediately stood up and replied.

"I have no objection either. Jiang Lu replied a little frustratedly,

His punishment is more severe than that of Maina, although the salary is still the same as before, but he has nothing to say, he is the general manager of Carney Media, he has the most credit, and he has the most to bear for mistakes.

Xu Mingzhang whispered in Xu Qing's ear: "Ah Qing, I'll leave it to you next." ”

After speaking, he patted Xu Qing on the shoulder, waved his hand, and let Xu Qing walk out of the conference room by himself without sending it.

Xu Qing watched his father walk out of the conference room, and then sat in the place where his father was sitting, looking around at the management of Carney Media.

There are 5 male managers and 1 female manager, a total of 6 people, and these people are not in a good mental state, as if they haven't woken up.

What he saw this morning made Xu Qing have a very bad impression of Carney Media, but now Xu Qing will not move the company's people.

Because all these people are dismissed, the re-recruited people want to familiarize themselves with the internal and external situation of the company, and they can't complete it in a few months.

Xu Qing's time was very urgent, and he couldn't accept a delay of a few months.

What's more, these people still have some ability, because grandpa does not require the company to make a profit, and these people treat the company as a nursing home.

Now is the time to put pressure and motivation on these people, and Xu Qing will dismiss or promote them based on their performance in the future.

"Let's introduce ourselves first, starting with Jiang Lu. Xu Qing said slowly.

Jiang Lu stood up and briefly said his name and position, and the other people's self-introductions were similar to Jiang Lu's.

Xu Qing carefully looked at the expressions of these people when they spoke, and found that everyone's expressions were different.

Worried, disdainful, fearful, indifferent all kinds of expressions, the expression of disdain is shown by a tall middle-aged white man.

This middle-aged white man, Johansen, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, said the least when he introduced himself.

It seems that even if Xu Qing is the boss's son, he can't suppress the management of Carney Media.

"I also introduce myself, Xu Qing, I am the son of your boss, and I can become the general manager of Carney Media because I am the son of the boss.

I am currently studying computer science at Stanford, and this is because my grandfather donated $1 million in cash and $500,000 in books to Stanford.

By the way, the $500,000 book was published by Carney Press. ”

The managers of Carney Media were stunned when they heard Xu Qing's self-introduction, they had never seen such a self-introduction, and said so directly that they became the general manager by virtue of their connections and were admitted to university.

Xu Qing ignored the reactions of these people, and continued:

"You all know that I'm a gentleman, you may despise me, a gentleman also wants to manage the company well, playing with women is what you're good at, go back to the nightclub!

It's true that I don't have any experience in managing companies, and any of you have more experience than me, and you may be thinking about how to set up me as a gentleman in the future. ”

When Xu Qing saw him say this, the faces of several people changed, and when they saw Xu Qing looking at them, they hurriedly lowered their heads.

"To be honest, Carney Media, which has assets of just over $2 million, I didn't pay attention to it at all, if it wasn't for my grandfather's support for Carney Media, it would have gone out of business a long time ago.

Moreover, Carney Media has no potential, and in the three years since its establishment, it has lost more than $600,000 in total. It doesn't matter if you don't have potential, the terrible thing is that all the people in the company are mediocre.

The general manager of the company sleeps in the office, the sales manager smokes in the non-smoking area, and the employees play during working hours. ”

Before Xu Qing's words were finished, angry expressions appeared on the faces of these people, and Xu Qing's words were belittling them.

"You may not be convinced by what I said, you may not be convinced that I have said that you are useless, and you may not be convinced that I am a gentleman who is pressing on your head.

Whether you are convinced or not, I have become the general manager of Carney Media, but I am not an unreasonable person, and I will give you a chance to remove me from power.

In the three months from now, if I don't make Carney Media more than $10 million in profits, I will voluntarily resign. ”

Xu Qing's words were like a shock, these people looked at Xu Qing in disbelief, and when they saw Xu Qing's serious expression, they weren't joking!

Does Xu Qing not know about the situation of Carney Media? In the three years since its founding, Carney Media has lost more than $600,000 in total, with an average annual loss of $200,000.

From a company that loses $200,000 a year to a company that makes more than $10 million in three months, such a big contrast makes it difficult for them to believe Xu Qing's words.

Some people simply showed very disdainful expressions, a gentleman who didn't know the height of the sky.

Some people have a pessimistic expression, being led by people who talk big like this, Carney Media will soon go bankrupt, they will lose their jobs, and now the unemployment rate in the United States is high, and it is not easy to find a job.

"My words have been spoken, and it is impossible to take them back, and I now regret a little if I didn't achieve what I said after 3 months.

Should I add a layer of armor to my face so that I can continue to sit in the position of general manager with a cheeky face? ”

These people all laughed when they heard Xu Qing's words, they were amused by Xu Qing's words for the first time, and since Xu Qing spoke, the conference room has been in a depressed atmosphere.

"Okay, the goal has been set, whether it can be achieved, we will wait and see, but I hope that in these 3 months, you can seriously complete my requirements, do not drag your feet, do not play tricks. Xu Qing warned these people.

These people immediately assured Xu Qing that they would do their job seriously, but they didn't think so, they had no confidence in the goal Xu Qing said at all.

In their opinion, it is impossible for Carney Media to achieve its goal without playing tricks, and after 3 months, this arrogant and arrogant kid will get out.

"Jiang Lu, please introduce the current situation of Carney Media. Xu Qing said.

"Carney Media now has 6 managers and 49 employees, including 32 newspaper employees, 11 publishing house employees, 3 sales, 2 finance and 1 front desk. Jiang Lu replied.

When Xu Qing heard about the personnel situation of Carney Media, he only felt a headache, with few employees and chaotic departments.

Things like finance, administration, and front desk are shared by newspapers and publishers.

The consequence of sharing was all kinds of chaos, and my grandfather once wanted to split the newspaper and the publishing house into two separate companies.

But the newspaper and the publishing house had only a few dozen employees combined, so they gave up the idea of splitting up, and the chaos continued.

"How many books were sold last year?"

"Last year's book sold 90,000 copies, which is Carney Media's current sales record, and so far this year, the book has sold 30,000 copies. ”

"How much does the newspaper sell every day?"

"6000 copies. ”

"Where do you get the newspaper?"

"Mainly in the East Bay and the peninsula. ”
