Chapter 23: Changing Hands Every Day
Jiang Ran acquired "Tiantian Daily" from Liu Tianzhi on July 16, and Jiang Ran came to Tiantian Daily on the day the acquisition was completed. When Jiang Ran arrived at the newspaper office, the newspaper had just received the news, and the employees were panicking, although the normal operation of the newspaper was maintained with the efforts of the newspaper's management, but the employees were talking a lot, and the work efficiency was extremely low.
After "Tiantian Daily" was acquired by Liu Tian, the newspaper's sales were able to come back to life, and Wei Jianbang made great contributions to advertising and commercial operations, but in addition to Wei Jianbang, the role of Zhao Hongjun, the boss of the newspaper, should not be underestimated. Now Wei Jianbang and Zhao Hongjun are also discussing the change of ownership of the newspaper in the company, and the two are Liu Tian's confidants, and they got the news that Tiantian is about to change hands from Liu Tianzhi two days ago.
"Abang, what do you think, today Mr. Liu is going to officially sell the shares of the newspaper, I heard that the new boss is a young man, our newspaper has finally developed to the current results, I hope this change will not affect the sales of the newspaper. Zhao Hongjun sat opposite Wei Jianbang and said worriedly.
"Mr. Zhao, what are you worried about, the new boss is here, you always have to do the work, we have been operating every day for three or four years, and the circulation is getting better and better, even if the new boss comes, we will consider our opinions. Besides, if we really don't do what we want, it will not be easy to find another job with our skills and our current reputation in the newspaper industry. Wei Jianbang held a cigar in his hand and said with a nonchalant expression.
Zhao Hongjun saw Wei Jianbang's indifferent expression, and wanted to persuade him, but as soon as the words came to his mouth, the phone on the "bell-bell" desk rang.
"Hello, this is the editorial office of Tiantian Daily. Zhao Hongjun grabbed the phone and said.
"Hello, is it President Zhao Hongjun Zhao? I'm Jiang Ran, I have just reached a deal with Mr. Liu Tianqiao on the "Tiantian Daily", and now I am on my way to the newspaper, you can inform the management of the newspaper, the newspaper will hold a meeting at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, I want to get to know you. A young-sounding voice came from the other end of the line.
"Okay, Mr. Jiang, I'll inform the management of the newspaper right away. After Zhao Hongjun knew what the other end of the phone meant, he stood up and said with some gaffe.
"Thank you Mr. Zhao, we'll see you later, goodbye!"
"What's the matter, Mr. Zhao? You don't lose your temper easily. Wei Jianbang asked strangely.
Zhao Hongjun took a deep breath and said to Wei Jianbang: "It's changing hands every day, the new boss is on the way over, and the meeting will be held at three o'clock." ”
After Zhao Hongjun finished speaking, he didn't look at Wei Jianbang's reaction, and immediately grabbed the phone to inform the secretary, "Inform the middle-level and above managers to start the meeting at 2:50, and they must not be absent and late without special reasons, and tell them that the new boss will arrive soon." ”
After Zhao Hongjun hung up the phone, he stood up and said to Wei Jianbang: "Abang, let's go to the door of the company to greet you." ”
Although Wei Jianbang didn't care what he said at first, after all, "Tiantian Daily" was developed step by step from bad to good through their efforts, and Wei Jianbang was not willing to leave Tiantian until the last resort, and when he heard Zhao Hongjun greeting him, he immediately stood up and came to the door of the newspaper office with Zhao Hongjun to wait for the new boss to arrive.
In the anxious waiting of Zhao Hongjun and Wei Jianbang, twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, there was a soft sound of "ding" from the elevator, Zhao Hongjun and Wei Jianbang hurriedly looked over, and as the elevator door opened, three people came out of it, the first one was a young man in his early twenties, followed by two middle-aged people, a man and a woman.
When Zhao Hongjun and the two were a little uncertain, the middle-aged woman stepped forward and said to the two, "It's President Zhao and Director Wei, right?" After getting the confirmation of the two, he turned around and introduced the young man to the two.
"Mr. Zhao, Director Wei, this is Mr. Jiang Ran, the founder and chairman of Ranfeng Audio-Visual Company, and Mr. Jiang and Mr. Liu Tianjiao reached the equity change procedures on "Tiantian Daily" today. ”
Jiang Ran kept smiling and waiting for Sister Fang to introduce herself, until Sister Fang finished introducing herself, she stepped forward and said to the two: "President Zhao and Director Wei met for the first time, I am Jiang Ran, and the two of you have been waiting for a long time." ”
"Mr. Jiang, hello, I am Zhao Hongjun, this is Director Wei Jianbangwei, I am honored to meet you. Zhao Hongjun said humbly to Jiang Ran, then stretched out his hand to guide Jiang Ran into the company, and he accompanied Jiang Ran and said to Jiang Ran: "Mr. Jiang, the company's middle-level and above managers have been notified in advance and are now in the conference room. ”
Jiang Ran nodded to the staff who secretly looked at him out of curiosity as he walked, and after hearing Zhao Hongjun's words, he said, "Then let's go to the conference room, I will meet with you first, so as not to affect the normal publication and distribution of the newspaper." ”
Pushing open the door of the conference room, there were about ten people sitting around the conference table, and when I saw Zhao Hongjun and Wei Jianbang accompanying the three of them in, I knew that the new boss was coming, and I stood up in unison. Zhao and Wei let Jiang Ran go to the top, and waited for Jiang Ran and the three of them to sit down before pointing and introducing: "Colleagues, this is Jiang Ran Jiang Dong, the founder of Ranfeng Audio, and Mr. Jiang is also the owner of "Tiantian Daily" from today onwards. Everyone welcomes Mr. Jiang's arrival!" After speaking, Zhao Hongjun was the first to applaud.
After the applause stopped, Zhao Hongjun introduced Jiang Ran to the editor-in-chief of the "Tiantian Daily" and the responsible persons in charge of finance, administration, publicity, and distribution. After introducing all the management personnel, Zhao Hongjun said: "Next, I would like to invite Mr. Jiang to speak to you. ”
Jiang Ran sat at the top of the conference room, put away the smile on his face, and said: "Mr. Zhao has just introduced, my name is Jiang Ran, and I am the owner of "Daily Daily" from today onwards. In five years, the newspaper has grown from a circulation of less than 10,000 to more than 90,000 copies now, which is a rare achievement in the entire Hong Kong newspaper industry, and it is also a reflection of our ability to work as a team every day. After I take over the newspaper, I will not make any new adjustments to the management of the newspaper for the time being, but this does not mean that I will not make any requirements for your future achievements, and I hope that we will develop better every day in the future. In my concept, there is never the best, only better, and I hope that we at the Daily Daily will always be better tomorrow than today, not yesterday was already good, and then today we can lie down on yesterday's results and sleep a lot, if this really happens to the newspaper, then I want to tell you that it will be a pity, both for you and for me. ”
Jiang Ran paused here for a while, and then said: "You may not know me well, I started last year to set up the first audio-visual book rental and sales store of Burning Feng Audio, which developed from April last year to the end of the year to have 15 chain stores in Hong Kong; in March this year, I invested in the film "Ghost Horse and Wisdom Multi-Star" directed by Tsui Hark, which won 13 million box office in Hong Kong, and the fashion magazine "Oriental Charm" that I founded at the same time as the movie was released The inaugural issue has a circulation of more than 200,000 copies in Hong Kong, and the latest issue may have a circulation of 300,000 copies. I don't say this to show off anything to you, I just want everyone here to know that my Jiang Ran's career is developing at a high speed, and I also very much hope to use your strength to develop the "Daily Daily" and make her an important part of my own career, if you do this, please believe me, I am not a stingy person, you will get a reward that matches the results of your hard work, whether it is money or status, I can give it to you, as long as you have the ability to take it, I welcome it at any time. ”
After speaking, Jiang Ran turned his head and looked at the management of the "Daily Daily" in the conference room, looked at their faces blue or white, or sighed or doubtful, and finally said: "Today is a meeting, everyone has a preliminary understanding when they meet for the first time, and if you have any doubts or suggestions in the future, I welcome everyone to come to me, and we will discuss together." Okay, today's meeting will be carried out here first, everyone back to work, please appease the following employees, tell everyone, let everyone work hard, of course, including you, if everyone's work is satisfactory to me, I will wrap a red envelope at the end of the year to reward everyone, last year I distributed a red envelope in Ranfeng Audio, this year I hope that in the first year I get the "Daily Daily" can be a good start. ”
After all the people went out, Jiang Ran said to Zhao Hongjun and Wei Jianbang: "Mr. Zhao, Director Wei, in addition to the financial audit of your specific work in the "Daily Daily" in the future, I will not interfere in other matters for the time being, but I hope that in the general direction, the newspaper can cooperate with the development plan of the head office, and at the same time strengthen cooperation with other companies under my umbrella, channel resource sharing, and maximize the use of resources." ”
"Please rest assured that Mr. Jiang will definitely strengthen the ties with other brother companies and deepen the cooperation between them to maximize the benefits. After Zhao Hongjun and Wei Jianbang heard that Jiang Ran would not interfere with the management of "Tiantian Daily", they hurriedly assured.
