Chapter 146: Really domineering, wonderful fate
The general direction was given, the main event was set, and the specific details of the TV station were no longer involved. Giving up is a kind of life wisdom, letting go is a kind of leadership wisdom, Lin Yi asked himself to do a good job.
Jiashi's share acquisition, the work has ended, Julie returned triumphantly, and came to the boss to give an errand. 'Part-time job', after three or two sentences, the focus is still on Paradise Music: "The spare parts supplier has all been finalized, and the Walkman is about to be put into production." ”
The subordinates were resolute, and the boss was quite satisfied: "It's done very well." I didn't go to the groundbreaking ceremony, but when the first product comes out, I will go there and accept it in person. Also, are there any issues that I need to coordinate?"
"Hong Kong's economy is developing rapidly, and the terminals and storage facilities are obviously not keeping up. But the Walkman is a small commodity, and it is not difficult to deal with, and I can handle it myself. The management team of the new company is currently in temporary positions, and I hope that the boss will confirm it as soon as possible. ”
Lin Yi patted his head, this matter must be taken to heart. Vice President, Marketing Director, Chief Financial Officer...... , the executives of Paradise Music, met one by one individually. I didn't hold a conference because of the back-to-back approach, which made it easier to understand the inside story.
A third-party audit was commissioned before the matter was completed. The reason why Lin Yi handled it this way was not because Qiao Anbang was more credible and more alien to Julie, but because the nature of the goods was different.
The cultural industry should be loose but not tight, and if it is grasped too firmly, it is easy to lose its vitality; the electronic industry should be tight but not loose, and standardized production does not require employees to think too much.
Lin Yi remembers very well that when he applied for the job in his previous life, Huawei had a clear requirement: "Employees who have been in the company for less than three years must obey the management and listen to the command, and cannot point fingers at the existing rules." ”
Letting go of management is not the same as herding sheep! The boss wants to set up a good 'stage,' and his subordinates can only perform here; or in other words, lay a good 'foundation' so that the senior executives cannot build things privately.
Fortunately, the Walkman, like the game console, is a light and cheap consumer product. Therefore, the system of Heaven Game, as long as it is slightly changed, Heaven Music can be applied.
After dealing with these things, Julie has a new question: "The Walkman is about to be launched, and our advertising plan, the boss may not be happy to hear it." ”
Lin Yi reassured her: "You have autonomy in the management of Paradise Music. As long as it is for the good of the company, you can rest assured to say it boldly. ”
"The boss became the owner of Jiayi TV, but we wanted to place the Walkman's advertisement on TVB. ”
"Give me a reason!"
"Two years ago, TVB landed on satellite TV and started global live broadcasting. Advertising there can cover the entire Chinese-speaking circle, and the marketing is the most cost-effective. ”
"If you also advertise at Jiashi at the same time, the coverage is a bit repetitive. ”
"More than that, boss. TVB has clear requirements, there is an exclusive agreement in the advertising contract, and they can't sign someone else. ”
"Run Run Shaw, it's really domineering!"
Lin Yi didn't expect that he would meet this tycoon just after denouncing his opponent. The venue was a charity bazaar, invited by the Governor's wife, with the aim of building more parks and protecting the environment in Hong Kong.
Lin Yi was very face-saving and spent 250,000 Hong Kong dollars to buy a graffiti work. At the end of the bazaar, when I saw the 70-year-old Run Run Shaw, I respectfully called Uncle Six.
At the plenary meeting of Jiashi, he ruthlessly cleaned up the ghosts, and then changed his face, not because he respected the old and loved the young, let alone because he had ghosts in his heart.
Before he was reincarnated, Lin Yi attended classes in the Shaw Teaching Building in high school, and after going to university, he studied on his own in the Shaw Library. Eating people with a short mouth and soft hands, in the face of this great philanthropist, he cannot be regarded as an opponent like Atari.
Run Run Shaw is a thin old man with a relatively clear face. Lin Yi's respectful greeting made him pause: "The people who call me Sixth Uncle are usually close people, or employees of TVB, outsiders rarely call them that, let alone competitors!"
Of course, Lin Yi will not mention the wonderful fate, and send three other reasons: "The first free TVB license, the first full-color broadcast in Hong Kong, and the first satellite global Chinese live broadcast." This kind of pioneering spirit is very worthy of my learning. ”
is so humble on the other side, Shao Tycoon also responded gently: "Jiashi's layoffs and salary cuts, I think it's done right, unlike the previous loser." Life always has three ups and downs, how can one wave of climaxes be followed by another climax?"
Lin Yi's face remained unchanged, and he didn't mention the matter of the inner ghost. He also used the same method of commercial espionage, which is really common. Atari Games, the quietly buried backlog of products, was exposed in this way.
Lin Yi made a joke: "I heard that when Boss Shao was young, he was once shipwrecked. Holding a plank, I drifted for a day and a night. I want to take you as a prototype and take a picture of the Oriental Robinson. ”
Run Run Shaw laughed heartily: "This idea is good, but if Boss Lin wants to shoot, I won't give you permission." ”
An old man and a young man talked freely, although they were competitors, they also cherished each other.
However, Shao Daheng did not change his true colors, and warned earnestly before leaving: "Hong Kong is too small to accommodate three TV stations." It's a painful thing to be an opponent of TVB. They survive only because the government wants to avoid monopolies. ”
The other party's domineering, Lin Yi understood it again, but his face did not change. In the media industry, although he is only a fledgling, he has already ranked first in the video game industry. With the support of the latter, Jiashi cannot be trapped in a corner, and it will definitely go to the world in the future.
Respect is respect, competition is competition, after returning to the TV station, Lin Yi found Qiao Anbang, and the two began to discuss countermeasures.
"Since the twenties and thirties, the hand of the Shaw brothers has reached into Singapore. Weaving a network of entertainment industries throughout the Nanyang region. Even in recent years, the relationship between Hong Kong and Taiwan has not been harmonious, and Boss Shao has a way. ”
Director Qiao's introduction made Lin Yi more aware of how profound TVB's heritage is! However, he will not admit defeat: "You and I are both from outside the industry, if you want to deal with it effectively, it is best to invite back the six gentlemen." After all, they come from wireless backgrounds and know their opponents quite well. ”
"It is said that good horses don't eat grass, the six gentlemen were forced to resign, and Jiashi wants to invite them back, I'm afraid it's not so easy. ”
Lin Yi waved his hand: "My idea is not to hire again, but to hire someone as a consultant." Just like outsourcing, you can only get a bonus if you do it well. This kind of program can not only save costs, but also have the effect of external incentives. ”
The big boss personally took action and found the six gentlemen to talk earnestly: "The previous incident was the original boss's eagerness for quick success, not your fault. But public opinion jokingly calls you 'a loser in good art'. As the saying goes, where you fall, you get up. If you want to restore your reputation, you can fight back with facts!"
Shocked by the words, the five people expressed their willingness to serve Jiashi again.
However, the last person has already found a job: "Seeing the truth in the midst of danger, my friends have reached out to help, and I can't just leave now." But in my spare time, I would like to do some work. ”
Lin Yi funded them and set up a small company as an affiliate of the TV station.
