After eating a sumptuous Chinese meal in "laughter and tears", Wang Peng, the general manager of Xu Qing Xujia Restaurant, and the head chef chatted for a while, left the restaurant, and came to Sunlight Group.

Looking at the spacious and bright office, Xu Qing was in a good mood, and after turning around in the comfortable boss chair, Xu Qing said to Aiben:

"Eben, now that the office space of the game company has been decided, the next step is to recruit managers and employees for the game company.

In the past few days, you have to go to several places where talent is concentrated to post job advertisements, such as Silicon Valley, where there are many talents, and you can also let headhunters look for talents.

For the recruitment of ordinary employees, you and the personnel department of the Sunlight Group are in charge, and you notify me of the signboard of the management, and I will interview in person. ”

After talking to Eben, he called someone from the Sunlight newspaper office to the office.

At present, Sunlight has more than 20 managers and more than 200 ordinary employees, making it the largest subsidiary of the sunlight group.

Xu Qing's office was big enough, and a few chairs were moved, and more than 20 people held meetings directly in Xu Qing's office.

Unless there is something important, Xu Qing generally does not hold meetings in the conference room, it is too serious, and Xu Qing does not like that atmosphere.

Meetings are just a means, and if you really want to solve things, you need more to be able to do things in the company, changes in the market and other factors.

So Xu Qing didn't care if the meeting was in the conference room or the office.

After a few simple opening remarks, Xu Qing asked Johansen, the general manager of the Sunlight newspaper:

"Johansen, tell me about the current situation at the newspaper. ”

Johansen sorted out the information in his hand and said:

"Boss, let me start with the overall situation, now there are 23 managers and 262 employees in the newspaper, including 105 journalists.

The newspaper's news gathering capacity is much higher than before the integration, and it is also welcomed by users, the rate of user churn has dropped to the industry average, and new users are mainly attracted by news content.

Then there is the situation of the "Bay Area Times", which is positioned as a newspaper that focuses on political and economic news content, reports authoritatively, truthfully, and is trusted by users.

There is also the case of "Carney Daily", the newspaper's positioning of "Carney Daily" is mainly leisure and entertainment content, mainly reporting on some celebrity affairs, interesting anecdotes happening in various places, and serialization of novels.

Because the Carney Daily previously serialized "Angels and Demons," and now many people submit novels to the newspaper, the Carney Daily has become one of San Francisco's most famous serialized novels. ”

Xu Qing listened carefully to Johansen's work report and said, "Have you done all the things with the original "Bay Area Times"?"

"There are still some things that are still being worked on, but they are all small things that will be solved soon. Johansen replied.

"You guys are doing a good job, if you have any difficulties, bring them up now, and you won't wait for them to expire. Xu Qing joked.

"We wanted to expand the distribution network of the newspaper, and now the Bay Area Times and Carney Daily have a combined circulation of about 100,000 copies, which is one of the largest circulation newspapers in the San Francisco area.

However, the distribution network of newspapers is mainly concentrated in the Bay Area, and we believe that it is time to expand the distribution network outward, which is more conducive to the development of newspapers. ”

"It takes money to expand the distribution network, right? Xu Qing saw Johansen's intentions at a glance.

"Well, it takes a sum of money. Johansen laughed.

"Today I will ask the finance department to give the newspaper $3 million, is that enough?" Ms. Xu said.

"Enough, with this money, the circulation of the newspaper will definitely be able to increase further. Johansen was beaming when he heard the $3 million.

"The newspaper is the top priority of the Sunlight Group, do you have any questions about reporting any difficulties to me in a timely manner?" asked Xu Qing.

Then several newspaper managers said a few problems, Xu Qing solved them one by one, and then dismissed the meeting.

Xu Qing rested in the office for a while, and then called the people from the Sunlight Press to the office for a meeting.

Sunlight has fewer managers than Sunlight, with more than 10 people in total.

With the same simple opening sentence, Yang Jin, the general manager of Sunlight Publishing House, began to report to Xu Qing.

"Boss, the publishing house now has 12 managers and 136 ordinary employees, and the main focus of the publishing house is on things related to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, as well as publishing other books.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone has sold 20 million copies in the United States and 15 million in other regions.

Among them, sales in the United States are declining, and I suggest that in a few months, you can withdraw from the sequel to Harry Potter. ”

"I have my own idea about the Harry Potter sequel, you can tell me about the publication of other books. Xu Qing said suddenly.

"Because of the popularity of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", Sunlight Publishing has a certain reputation in the United States and the world, and many authors have submitted articles to the publishing house.

In the past month, the publisher has received thousands of submissions, and after many screenings, we have selected 10 manuscripts for publication, and these manuscripts are now being typeset. Yang Jin replied.

"Well, do you have any questions?" Xu Qing asked these people as usual after listening to Yang Jin's report.

"Nope. ”

Now Sunlight Publishing House is the most profitable subsidiary of the Sunlight Group, and its name is also large, so they don't have to worry about not receiving good manuscripts, so they will hardly have any problems if they do their jobs step by step.

After the people from Sunlight Press left the office, Xu Qing stretched comfortably, sat back in the boss's chair, and then typed some words on the computer.

Today, he held a meeting with Sunlight Newspaper and Sunlight Publishing House, so that Xu Qing has a clearer plan for the future development of these two subsidiaries.

There is no doubt that Sunlight Publishing is currently the most profitable subsidiary of the Sunlight Group, but in Xu Qing's mind, Sunlight Newspaper has a heavier weight.

Sunlight Publishing House will not have much potential, and Xu Qing will not spend too much energy to make it a large international publishing house.

Because the publishing industry is small in profit and influence, even a large publishing house like Random House in later generations is very average.

Xu Qing's requirements for the development of sunlight publishing house are to follow fate and not interfere, if these people in the publishing house can strengthen the publishing house, it is naturally the best, it doesn't matter if they can't, as long as they don't go out of business.

As for the Sunlight newspaper, Xu Qing will try to make it grow and become a newspaper with global influence.

It is important to grasp public opinion in any era.

There is a big newspaper that belongs to Xu Qing, Xu Qing can use it to make a sound, and at that time, the protective layer on Xu Qing's body will be thicker, and he will not let others take it at will.

Throughout the afternoon, Xu Qing was in the company to handle affairs.

Xu Qing, who hadn't worked like this for a long time, only felt mentally exhausted and had back pain.

The boss is not so easy to be.
