"You're going back to the mainland?" Shen Zhenghui's secretary, Wang Di, a senior assistant to ATV, said in a panic, "Chairman, I hope you can think about it, after all, we have so many things to do now, and the New Year's program has not been recorded yet." ”
"Okay, the organizational structure of the TV station has been set up, and the future work will be handed over to Director Wang Yu, just report to me on the important matters." Shen Zhenghui patted Wang Di's shoulder with his hand, "I've worked hard for you this time." ”
"No, Chairman Shen, there are a lot of things you still have to decide!" Wang Di continued to persuade, "Now we haven't straightened it out yet, and we all need you to make decisions. ”
"Give it to Wang Yu, what does the director do?" Shen Zhenghui said casually.
Wang Di finally dispelled the idea of continuing to persuade Shen Zhenghui to stay, and asked with some trepidation, "Can I ask you what you are going back to the mainland for?" Is there anything I can contact you directly? ”
"Of course, it's going home for the New Year!" Shen Zhenghui was a little strange, "But you can't do it, although your home is also in Hong Kong, you may not have time to take your vacation during the Chinese New Year." Shen Zhenghui smiled, "It's hard work, I'll give you a big red envelope when the time comes." ”
"Go home for the New Year?" Wang Di had an expression of disbelief.
"Yes, my hometown is in a small county, and I didn't go back last year, I was scolded by my parents, and I have to go back to accompany my grandmother this year anyway." Shen Zhenghui replied, "After that, I will go to Pingjing to participate in this year's two sessions." It is estimated that it will be in April or May when I return to Hong Kong. As he spoke, he sighed again, "Maybe there will be a lot of things going on in Japan by then." ”
Wang Di felt that she could not understand the young chairman's thoughts, even though she was still very young. But as a native of Hong Kong, she still feels that her boss from the mainland is a little too mysterious. Of course, this mystery is the impression under the halo bonus, he took out more than a billion cash to buy ATV, even if most of it is a loan, which is very remarkable, for a business society like Hong Kong. Having a billion dollars in credit is also a remarkable achievement. On top of that, he seems to have a strong relationship in Japan, and he has almost no trouble with Japanese business partners. Then, ATV became completely new in a short period of time, with new channels and programs launched one after another, and channels in different categories began to achieve stable ratings, and "The Voice of China" detonated the whole city. If it weren't for these halos, in Wang Di's eyes, Shen Zhenghui would just be a local trench with a little money. But with these halos, he has really become a boss on an equal footing with bosses at the level of Li Jiacheng, Chen, and Liu, not to mention that he still has a director's halo.
Wang Di is determined to stay in ATV and serve as the secretary's chairman, on the one hand, because she is very familiar with the situation of ATV, and on the other hand, because the position of the chairman's secretary is very attractive to her, whether it is the treatment or power, she herself is capable. At the same time, he is also ambitious for the workplace. When she took up this position, she was mentally prepared to be the unspoken rules of the chairman. But. What the chairman did seemed to be completely unexpected, beyond her own thinking, and the various whimsical methods she originally conceived to save ATV were far less wonderful than Shen Zhenghui's work, but from a business point of view, Wang Di's view of the chairman she served was very different from the mainstream of gossip - her two deepest impressions were that Chairman Shen was rich in capital and creative.
Be creative. Therefore, it can attract the audience with novelty, and because of the abundant capital, it can support the realization of creativity. So in hindsight, Shen Zhenghui seems to have no edge in his heavy sword, and he is not coincidental. But a professional who is well-versed in the television industry can't do better than him under the same conditions. It's no wonder he's the highest-grossing director in Asia, and that's a combination of commercial and artistic prowess.
Wang Di is very glad that he did not resign or leave or change jobs with his senior management colleagues, if he does, he really doesn't know where he will regain his qualifications! But she was a little disappointed, Shen Zhenghui completely treated her as a subordinate, without any further hints, which made her a little apprehensive. So when Shen Zhenghui said that he wanted to return to the mainland, and what he asked of her was only to be a good relayer of information, Wang Di instinctively felt a kind of crisis. Especially after participating in the specific power structure of the current ATV.
Wang Di knows that the people who really control ATV's shares are basically not involved in the usual management except for Shen Zhenghui, Shen Zhenghui has set up the position of director in ATV, which is equivalent to the general manager or CEO, and will be responsible for the daily operation and management of ATV, but he has no shares, at least now. If Shen Zhenghui is not satisfied with the director, he can directly let him go. But if Shen Zhenghui also begins to ignore the specific things of ATV, and just listens to the report of the affairs of the important dà - after all, he has other identities and careers, then Wang Di's own existence is very embarrassing, her status in the TV station is completely based on the fact that she is Shen Zhenghui's administrative secretary, if Shen Zhenghui does not arrange her internal position in the TV station, then she is just Shen Zhenghui's eyes and ears.
That's why Wang Di is so sensitive to Shen Zhenghui's departure, she has thought a lot about these issues before.
"During the time I was away, you temporarily served as an assistant to the director." Shen Zhenghui said, after hearing this, Wang Di finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I have already told Director Wang about this matter, and he will arrange your work." ”
Wang Di suppressed her joy, the results of her hard work during this period of time let her know that the so-called assistant director is a natural candidate for deputy director, and in her capacity, she will be even much more nourishing than the average deputy director, at least she has the privilege of directly contacting Shen Zhenghui, "I don't know what kind of work it is mainly about?" ”
"It's supposed to assist the work of the Artist Department." Shen Zhenghui replied, "This job is not easy, in the next few years, we will have to spend a lot of effort to cultivate our own talents, and the people we have recruited must also be carefully screened." It's stressful, how do you feel? ”
"Me. I love the challenge. Wang Di felt as if he was overwhelmed by happiness, and at this time he tried to control his expression, "Thank you, Chairman Shen." ”
"This is your watch," Shen Zhenghui waved his hand, "but let me remind you of the future development of ATV." The artists we deal with are definitely not limited to Hong Kong, or even Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, the mainland, Japan and even Europe and the United States will be the objects of our dealings, you are very young, I hope you can give full play to this advantage, your vision can be open enough, and your vision and mind must be open enough. ”
"Is this a hint that I don't want to go against the high-level from the mainland?" Wang Di thought to herself, but she showed a modest smile on the surface, "Thank you, Chairman Shen." I know. ”
"Okay, you go and meet Director Wang, and do a good job of preparing for your new position." Shen Zhenghui said, "As I said earlier, it is still part of your work to report to me that there are important things, and I hope you don't forget it." ”
Does that mean I should be a good eyeliner? Wang Di thought to himself, nodded humbly, and then walked out.
Shen Zhenghui sat down on the sofa again. He took a good breath and rubbed his face. It was only a little bit of relief from the tense atmosphere of the past few months.
To be honest, the experience of the past few months has given him the illusion that life seems to be illusory. Yiqiē things are developing too fast, too concentrated, and the effect is too good, and sometimes he can't help but want to pinch his face. Even with his identity as a traverser, he is still a little unaccustomed to things going so smoothly. Now I throw all the qiē to my subordinates, and then run back to my hometown, and observe from a distance that there is a behemoth of my own on the land of Hong Kong, maybe there is a little sense of reality.
It was at this time. His phone rang.
It was Wang Anping on the other end of the phone, and she asked bluntly, "When will you come back?" ”
"Just these few days," Shen Zhenghui was a little puzzled, "I will go back to my hometown first, and then go to Pingjing for a meeting after the New Year." ”
"Don't go to Pengcheng," Wang Anping said, "You should go to Pingjing first." ”
"What's the matter?"
"Good thing," Wang Anping couldn't help but smile, "The leader wants to meet you." ”
"Good thing?" Shen Zhenghui repeated.
"Of course it's a good thing," Wang Anping said in an aggravated tone, "You have a different identity now, you are a media tycoon, and the role of Merck is the same, and the leader naturally values you unusually." She added, "Compared to your director's status, the chairman of the TV station is naturally of a higher level, and the leaders want to meet you before the two sessions, not even publicly, which is great news." ”
"I don't think I've made anything!" Shen Zhenghui was slightly nervous.
"Don't worry," Wang Anping comforted him, "The leader wants to see you, mainly because ATV has come back to life and regained its influence in Hong Kong, so you will naturally enter the field of vision of the United Front Work Department." Your actions are so big that many people use you as a reason to cite their political ideas. But don't worry, you just have to do it your own way, and don't worry about the other mess, and those people's hands won't reach out to you......"
Putting down the phone, Shen Zhenghui couldn't laugh or cry, he just dropped a child at random in Hong Kong, and he didn't expect it to become a sweet treat.
As soon as he put down the phone, there was a knock on the office door, and after saying that he came in, Wang Di walked in with a smile on his face, "Chairman Shen, Mr. Dong called you and hoped that you would call him back." ”
"Which Mr. Dong?" For a moment, Shen Zhenghui was a little dazed.
"It's the Chief Executive!" Wang Di said, "Mr. Dong wants to invite you to dinner." ”
"Huh?" This was unexpected by Shen Zhenghui, he and Chief Executive Dong had also met in public, and Mr. Dong also praised ATV for doing a good job on the surface. However, since the parade on July 1, 2004, Mr. Dong has been a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day, and at this moment he suddenly found himself to eat, if it is now 97 or 98, Shen Zhenghui may be excited, but now it is 2005, and in two months, Mr. Dong will step down from the post of chief executive to take up a false post in the CPPCC, and Shen Zhenghui does not know what the idea of this fight is.
But obviously, it is not a bad thing to befriend him at this time, and the leaders of Hong Kong from now on are not as good as one crab, and they go straight downhill with Hong Kong. Although Mr. Dong did not make any achievements during his administration, from the perspective of those who came after him, many of his ideas are worthy of recognition, but the power of Hong Kong real estate developers is too strong. Hong Kong people are generally short-sighted and can't bear the pain for a while. But then again, the truly highly developed capitalist society cannot endure the pain for a while, until the pain is unbearable in the end, and China is currently on this road of no return.
"Give me his phone number and I'll call him back personally."
Wang Di's excitement was obviously not because a big man like Mr. Dong called in person. When she gave Shen Zhenghui her phone number, she asked a little playfully, "I heard that Mr. Dong is about to resign, wouldn't it be much better if he left Hong Kong." ”
"Childish." Shen Zhenghui glared at her, "Whether Hong Kong is good or not is an economic issue, don't understand it as a political issue." ”
Wang Di saw that Shen Zhenghui was not reprimanding him seriously, so he stuck out his tongue, revealing the posture of his little daughter, as if he was seducing Shen Zhenghui.
There was nothing new in Mr. Dong's reply. After Shen Zhenghui expressed his respect for the chief executive, Mr. Dong said that he was preparing for the two sessions, and that Shen Zhenghui, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), was a colleague in Hong Kong, and he should have come to visit but did not, so he took this opportunity to invite Shen Zhenghui to talk about it, hoping to consult Shen Zhenghui on certain issues in Hong Kong. The reasons are all legitimate, but Shen Zhenghui can't believe that this is Mr. Dong really preparing for the identity of vice chairman in advance, and he can only politely say on the phone that he should visit Mr. Dong himself. Thank you Mr. Dong for the invitation, he will definitely be invited.
The two of them don't know each other very well. After a few words of gossip, he hung up the phone. Wang Di on the side was very excited and stared at Shen Zhenghui after speaking. seems to be deliberately pretending to be immature, "Mr. Shen, is he quitting and going to be the vice chairman of the CPPCC Party?" ”
Shen Zhenghui glanced at her, almost helpless about this kind of use of female identity. "Go and do things, some things are not as simple as you think."
Wang Di finally restrained his expression, nodded honestly and prepared to go out, and then was stopped by Shen Zhenghui, "Help me prepare a gift." When the time comes, I will bring it to Mr. Dong. ”
"What to buy?" Wang Di asked honestly.
It's not good to buy a gift if it's light, and it's not good if it's heavy. Shen Zhenghui thought for a while and said, "Help me buy a bottle of red wine and prepare a bouquet of flowers, I'll help me pay in advance first, and I'll reimburse you privately when the time comes." ”
This personal task suddenly boosted Wang Di's enthusiasm, "Chairman Shen, do you want me to accompany you to Mr. Dong's dinner?" ”
"For a private dinner, I'll just go alone." Shen Zhenghui shook his head, although he didn't know what Dong Te wanted to say to himself, but obviously it would be easier for him to go to the other party alone.
The reality really confirmed Shen Zhenghui's thoughts, and Chief Executive Dong entertained Shen Zhenghui at home, although the food was no worse than that in the restaurant outside. At the same time, Chief Executive Dong saw that Shen Zhenghui came alone, and he didn't even bring the driver into the house, and he obviously looked in a good mood when he greeted Shen Zhenghui.
After receiving Shen Zhenghui's red wine and flowers, the old gentleman also expressed his gratitude, and did not seem to attach much importance to the gift.
"Please be seated." "I want to have a good chat with you," he said. ”
The other party's attitude made Shen Zhenghui a little surprised.
"Mr. Shen, I have actually been famous for you for a long time," he said, "I have carefully read the proposal on film that you put forward when you first attended the CPPCC meeting, and it can be said that every word is fine, if Hong Kong can have a talent like you, our Hong Kong film industry will definitely not be reduced to what it is now." ”
"You've won a prize." Shen Zhenghui hurriedly replied, "This, sometimes the general climate cannot be changed by manpower, and people's analysis and planning still need to rely on the general trend, otherwise, it will be in vain to spend a lot of resources." ”
This sentence seemed to hit the psychology of Chief Executive Dong and made him begin to sigh.
This was a rather private banquet, and there was no one present except Mrs. Dong. Originally, Shen Zhenghui thought that he could see some of his peers, but now it seems that Mr. Dong has very personal things to say to himself, but on the other hand, what point does he value the other party so much, and the first invitation is such a scene?
"A few months ago," Mr. Dong patted his head, "oh, old, it wasn't just a few months ago, or last month, I was in Macau. He was slightly sad, "I was criticized by Chairman Hu in person, saying that I didn't do a good job in Hong Kong." ”
"Things in Hong Kong are more complicated," Shen Zhenghui comforted him, "sometimes I only see things on the surface, but I don't see the intertwined things below. ”
Mr. Dong showed a relieved expression, "Although I know that you are comforting me, I am still very happy." ”
Mrs. Dong enthusiastically introduced the dishes to Shen Zhenghui, and at the same time said with a little complaint, "What are you talking about to the guests?" ”
Mr. Dong smiled and asked with a slightly thoughtful expression, "Mr. Shen, you also used to do real estate?" ”
Shen Zhenghui felt a little in his heart, "I did it when I was in Pengcheng before, but then I felt that it was boring to do this, so I went to Japan to make a movie." ”
"You're brave!" Mr. Dong said with a slightly surprised expression, "Real estate is the most profitable industry, and you actually left it behind and changed careers?" ”
"I can't say that," Shen Zhenghui probably knows what Chief Executive Dong is looking for himself, "I don't have to make less real estate to make movies, and the real estate industry is facing a reshuffle at any time, and if you are not careful, it will be the result of losing everything." He smiled, "Of course, getting the plate too big to tip is another story." ”
Mr. Dong also laughed, "Do you have cooperation with the Li family?" ”
"It's just understanding, not cooperation." Shen Zhenghui replied.
Mr. Dong's eyes lit up. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
