Chapter 215: It's all good news
While Jiang Ran was busy dealing with the different concerns of relatives and friends, "Tiantian Wenhui" benefited from Jiang Ran's "Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms", and the good news continued.
On the first day of the distribution and sale of "Tiantian Wenhui", more than 20,000 copies of the magazine were distributed from the Tiantian Publishing Company through various channels, and nearly 8,000 copies were sold on the same day.
For a literary magazine that had just been launched, sales were quite good, and on the second day, from the feedback from readers, the quality and recognition of the magazine, which had been in preparation for nearly a year, was also quite satisfactory.
Among the hundreds of readers surveyed, nearly 60 percent were satisfied with the magazine and had the desire to continue subscribing, while only a small half of the remaining almost 40 percent of the readers were dissatisfied with the quality and taste of the magazine and made it clear that they would not subscribe to the magazine again in the future.
"Mr. Zhao, overall, yesterday's magazine sales and readers' feedback were within our expectations, and even slightly better than we expected. Zhao Junjue reported to Zhao Hongjun with a smile on his face.
Zhao Hongjun is also in a good mood now, judging from the current situation, as long as there are no major problems, there is no problem with the first shot of "Tiantian Wenhui", and after nearly a year of preparation, there has finally been a relatively successful result.
"Yes! It seems that our work has not been done in vain, whether it is for the employees below or for the group, we can hand over a qualified answer sheet. Zhao Hongjun said with a smile.
Then he put away the smile on his face and said: "Of course, it's only the first day, and there is still half a month to go, and we have to continue to follow up on the propaganda and keep this good start all the time." In addition, we should also pay close attention to the feedback of readers, improve the shortcomings and deficiencies of the next issue of the magazine, and strive to make better results. ”
After listening to Zhao Hongjun's words, Zhao Junjue nodded, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, I think that today and even in the next few days, there should be a small peak in the sales of our magazine, so you can rest assured." ”
Zhao Hongjun looked at Zhao Junjue suspiciously, frowned and said, "Junjue, you can't be arrogant and careless." You know, a good beginning, if the end is anticlimactic, it is not easy to explain. ”
When Zhao Junjue heard this, he immediately put away the smile on his face, looked at Zhao Hongjun cautiously, and explained in a low voice: "Mr. Zhao, in today's media, because of Mr. Jiang's poem "Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms", there have been many comments, which has also given our magazine publicity in disguise, so I judge that in the next few days, the sales of the magazine will usher in a peak. ”
After Zhao Hongjun listened to Zhao Junjue's words, the expression on his face softened slightly, and he said, "Oh, yes? I haven't had time to read the newspaper today, so I really don't know." ”
Zhao Junjue's judgment was very accurate, and in the following days, the media carried out various interpretations of Jiang Ran's poems. Some people say that he started a business as a young man, experienced the prosperity of the world, was disgusted with the chaos of the red dust, and wanted to become a monk; others say that he was emaciated by the Taiwan authorities and wrote this poem with a feeling of emaciation.
Anyway, all the media predicted in the end that Jiang Ran may have a misanthropy and may relax the management of the Ranfeng Group's huge business in the future.
And Jiang Ran himself was naturally very atmospheric when he saw these remarks at the beginning, but later, when he saw the sales data of "Tiantian Wenhui" reported by Zhao Hongjun every day, Jiang Ran smiled and was silent, as if he acquiesced to the media's speculation.
In fact, in the following period of time, the reason why the Hong Kong media has been grasping this topic to report is inseparable from the promotion of Zhao Hongjun and others of Ranfeng Group.
When the first issue of "Tiantian Wenhui" was getting better and better, Jiang Ran received Wei Jianbang of Longhaw Par Company in his office, and he came to report to Jiang Ran on the operation of Longhaw Par in 1983 and the work plan for 1984.
In the office, in addition to Jiang Ran and Wei Jianbang, Jiang Ran also called Ran Dong over, because Jiang Ran planned to gradually transfer Longhubao Company to Bluestar Investment.
Wei Jianbang naturally knew Ran Dong and knew that he was now the person in charge of Bluestar Investment, and when he saw him appear in Jiang Ran's office, he had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Hello Mr. Jiang!" After Wei Jianbang came in, he first bowed to Jiang Ran to say hello, and then he turned to Ran Dong and greeted him with a warm smile: "Mr. Ran is also here!"
Jiang Ran waved his hand, beckoned Wei Jianbang to sit down, and then said directly: "Mr. Wei, don't be polite." I called Ran Dong today because after the New Year, I plan to hang Longhubao under the banner of Bluestar Investment, after all, my own experience is limited. In the future, everyone will be their own people, and I called Ran Dong today just to let him listen to it together, which can be regarded as understanding the situation of Longhubao in advance. ”
Jiang Ran said and looked at Wei Jianbang's somewhat stiff smile, and then reassured: "Of course, in terms of operation, it mainly depends on the management of Mr. Wei, and Bluestar Investment is mainly responsible for helping you improve the financial norms." ”
Wei Jianbang from the bottom of his heart, he definitely didn't want to have one more supervision and management company in the company, after all, in the past, although Jiang Ran was the boss of Longhubao Company, Jiang Ran's main focus was on Ranfeng Group, so Wei Jianbang in Longhubao Company can almost be said to be a person.
However, now Jiang Ran has put Longhubao Company under Bluestar Investment, although Jiang Ran said it well, it is only financial supervision, but in terms of company operation, that point can be separated from finance.
Wei Jianbang felt a little tired in his heart, but there was nothing he could do, after all, Jiang Ran's approach was understandable, and it was normal for such a big company to be supervised.
"Mr. Ran, I will work under your leadership in the future, and I want to ask for your support. Wei Jianbang quickly adjusted his psychology and greeted Ran Dong again with a smile.
We don't have the problem of leading or not, we support each other and make the company bigger and stronger together. Ran Dong said with a smile.
"Okay! In the future, you will have time to familiarize, now Mr. Wei will introduce the company's situation first. Jiang Ran interrupted the politeness of the two.
When Wei Jianbang heard this, he put away the smile on his face, turned to Jiang Ran Zhengse and said: "Last year, our company mainly focused on "Dragon, Tiger and Leopard" magazine and Dragon Tiger and Leopard Film and Television. ”
"Last year, the distribution and sales of Dragon, Tiger and Leopard magazine expanded from Hong Kong to the whole of Southeast Asia, with sales growing from 300,000 copies per month to nearly 800,000 copies per month, and profits increasing from more than 300,000 Hong Kong dollars to nearly 800,000 Hong Kong dollars. The total profit of the magazine alone reached 6.7 million Hong Kong dollars. ”
Jiang Ran nodded with satisfaction with the profits of "Dragon, Tiger and Leopard" magazine, although it cannot be compared with the hundreds of millions of profits of Ranfeng Group, but it is just a magazine, and it is already quite good to have such profits.
Wei Jianbang saw that Jiang Ran only nodded at the profits of the magazine, and there was no other reflection, and thinking about the profits of Ranfeng Group, he was suddenly a little frustrated.
But now is not the time to be frustrated, Wei Jianbang paused slightly, sorted out his thoughts, and then reported: "In addition to magazines, we produced a total of three restricted films in 1983, which achieved a total of more than 15 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office in Hong Kong, plus overseas and video distribution income, a total of nearly 10 million Hong Kong dollars for the company. ”
When Wei Jianbang said this, a trace of smugness flashed on his face, and Jiang Ran's face finally showed a smile. In 82, he invested 2 million Hong Kong dollars in Longhaw Par Company, and now more than a year has passed, seven or eight times the income, how can he not laugh.
"Very good!Mr. Wei, you are fortunate!" Jiang Ran said with a smile.
Wei Jianbang also completely lost the trace of frustration just now, and said reservedly: "Mr. Jiang has won the award." Such achievements are inseparable from the support of Ranfeng Group. ”
Jiang Ran nodded, and then asked, "What are your plans for next year?"
Wei Jianbang looked at Jiang Ran and Ran Dong and said: "Next year, we will mainly focus on consolidating the magazine and film sections, and on this basis, we will strive to create another magazine and publication." ”
Jiang Ran was noncommittal about Wei Jianbang's plan, but said: "You can decide for yourself according to the company's capabilities. But I suggest you learn from the American playboy and make Dragon, Tiger and Leopard a brand. In addition, it is necessary to further expand the company's business chain and increase profit points. ”
"Yes, Mr. Jiang. Wei Jianbang replied.
Jiang Ran nodded, and then said: "Last year's profit, in addition to the year-end bonus for the company's employees, leave another 10 million as the company's development funds for next year, and take out the rest for dividends." The 30% bonus promised to your company's management must be cashed out. ”
Hearing this, a bright light flashed in Wei Jianbang's eyes, and he said happily, "Thank you, Mr. Jiang." ”
"Don't thank me, you deserve it. Jiang Ran said with a smile.
"That's right, Mr. Jiang. I heard that Ranfeng Group has a year-end event this year, do you think we can participate together?" Wei Jianbang suddenly asked.
