"You're the general manager?"

Hong Dali looked at his son Hong Baowei in surprise, but he didn't expect to hear the good news as soon as he got home, which made him very happy, and hurriedly asked, "Which department is the general manager?" It seems that your new boss is good and good to you. In the future, we must be careful about things at work, and we must not make mistakes. ”

Kang Xin, who had just washed his hands from the kitchen and sat down at the dining table to eat, also looked at his son Hong Baowei with surprise and pride, although he did not speak, he obviously supported her husband Hong Dali's words.

"Some time ago, I didn't get promoted, and you said that the new boss was too bad and had no vision. Now as soon as your son becomes the general manager, he immediately changes his words and says that the new boss is very good, this change is too big, right? ”

Hong Baowei was slandered in his heart, and soon said with a wry smile: "It's not the general manager of which department of ATV, it's the general manager of a newspaper newly acquired by ATV, Xiangjiang News, who just took office today." ”

"It's not ATV's department manager." Kang Xin's face immediately showed great disappointment.

"Xiangjiang News? Does Hong Kong have this newspaper? How I haven't heard of it. ”

Hong Dali frowned, carefully recalled the Xiangjiang newspapers he knew, and did not recall any memories of the "Xiangjiang News", his face immediately sank, and then said angrily: "What a fart!" ATV: This is sending you out! Your boss is really blind, you are a great talent who doesn't know how to use it, and you have been assigned, you deserve to be better than TB TV, and it will definitely go out of business in the future, so I'll wait to see a good show......"

"Dad, before Zhao Sheng acquired ATV, ATV was already no match for TB TV, right?" Hong Baowei was speechless for a moment, and then explained: "Also, Zhao Sheng is actually quite good, this time he went to "Xiangjiang News" as the general manager. Actually, I asked to go because I thought the newspaper was very promising. ”

"There's a fart future!" Hong Dali immediately scolded.

"Your dad likes to read newspapers so much, and he doesn't know what kind of Xiangjiang News newspaper there is, it must be an extraordinary newspaper, the kind that is about to go out of business. What future can you have in the past? Son, do you still want to develop the newspaper into a big newspaper like the Oriental Daily? Kang Xin asked. There was also a deep dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Don't even think about it." Hong Dali waved his hand and said categorically: "Now there is a surplus of newspapers in Xiangjiang, and if a small newspaper wants to rise, there is no such possibility." ”

Hong Baowei was not discouraged, there was always a faint smile on his face, he waited for the two elders to stop talking, and then he opened his mouth to continue to explain his thoughts: "Lao Dou is right, there is indeed no possibility for the small newspaper to rise. I also knew about this matter, so I made a request to Zhao Sheng. Zhao Sheng also agreed to help me. As soon as Zhao Sheng agreed, I knew that I had succeeded for most of the time, and the rest depended on my step-by-step operation. ”

Kang Xin was dissatisfied: "How can one request be enough? At least ten requirements! ”

Hong Dali asked in disbelief: "What requirements did you make, you are so confident that as long as Zhao Xingchi makes a move, you will succeed for the most part?" ”

"Lao Dou, what did Zhao Sheng rely on?" Hong Baowei looked at him with a smile.

"Write martial arts novels. That's ......," Hong replied without thinking, but halfway through the sentence. He reacted suddenly, shouted out with an "ah", and looked at his son Hong Baowei dumbfounded: "You kid shouldn't be asking Zhao Xingchi to serialize his martial arts novels in that newspaper, right?" ”

Hong Baowei raised his right hand and snapped his fingers in the air: "Bingo, I answered correctly, but unfortunately there is no award!" Haha......" he laughed smugly.

Hong Dali unconsciously laughed a few times. Then he slapped Hong Baowei on the shoulder, and scolded with a smile: "Good boy, worthy of Lao Tzu's species, clever enough, this kind of strange trick can be thought of." Not bad. There is a serialization of Zhao Xingchi's martial arts novels, even if it is a garbage newspaper, it can sell very well. Lao Dou has figured it out now, and I have decided to support you and support you to become the general manager of that news newspaper. Rather be the head of the chicken than the tail of the phoenix, as long as you are determined and willing to work hard, you will definitely be able to do a great job. ”

Hong Baowei laughed, and then nodded and said, "Xie Lu, thank you, Lao Dou." ”

"What are you two playing dumb puzzles?" Kang Xin asked puzzled.

"Your son is going to be developed!" Hong Dali snorted, then picked up the chopsticks, pointed to the food on the table and said, "Eat and eat, if you don't eat, it's going to be cold." ”

The family began a hearty dinner.

……

Xiangjiang, the headquarters of Oriental Daily.

"Boss, I just got the news that ATV has acquired "Xiangjiang News"!" Ma Chenggong was sitting on the boss's chair and talking on the phone with a beautiful star who had just caught up, and the door of the office was pushed open by his subordinates, and then shouted.

"Bastard!"

Ma Chenggong's anger rose in his heart, but when he turned his head, the person who came was actually Yao Weiguang, the general manager of the "Oriental Daily", he could only hold back his anger first, and hung up the phone, because the business problems of the "Oriental Daily" have always been controlled by Yao Weiguang, for 20 years, he is the veteran and important minister of the "Oriental Daily", and he is the great hero of his Ma family, but he is not a small person who can be reprimanded at will.

Moreover, if Yao Weiguang can be so out of shape, it must be a major event that has a major impact on "Oriental Daily", so he can't ignore it.

Ma Chenggong is not yet 40 years old this year, and he is only 38 years old, but as the eldest and youngest of the Ma family, a wealthy family in Southeast Asia, he successfully inherited the ownership of "Oriental Daily" from the old man three years ago and became the chairman. "Oriental Daily" has many shareholders, but it is the Ma family that occupies an absolute controlling advantage.

Yao Weiguang, a hardcore who works hard with Mr. Ma Chenggong, took over the management of "Oriental Daily" 20 years ago, and has been until today.

A newspaper is divided into two parts: business issues and content issues.

The issue of management, that is, planning the development strategy and tactics of the newspaper, thinking about how to make more money.

Content issues, that is, news production issues, publishing, typesetting, editing, etc.

Paying attention to external trends and being vigilant against industry competition is Yao Weiguang's scope of responsibility. In the newspaper industry, Yao Weiguang cannot hide any troubles, and he will formulate corresponding response strategies based on the information collected.

But this time. The information received made Yao Weiguang lose his temper.

"Xiangjiang News? ATV's acquisition of this newspaper should be nothing, right? Ma Chenggong asked suspiciously, it was the first time he had seen Yao Weiguang like this, so that the anger just now was thrown out of the clouds.

"You can't underestimate Stephen Zhao, he has amazing talents, and he has always done amazing things. Once he seized the opportunity. The rise of the Hong Kong News newspaper may not be there. Yao Weiguang shook his head and said his thoughts with a serious face.

Ma Chenggong said with a smile: "The rise of the news? Can that kind of tabloid sell 5,000 copies a day? Our Oriental Daily sold 600,000 copies a day, ranking first in Hong Kong for 35 consecutive years. Does Uncle Wei Guang really feel the need to pay so much attention? He Zhao Xingchi is not an immortal! ”

Yao Weiguang said calmly: "What if Zhao Xingchi takes a sidestep and serializes his martial arts novels in the news?" You must know that Stephen Zhao is famous for writing martial arts novels, with fans all over Asia, hundreds of millions! ”

Yao Weiguang is Yao Weiguang after all, and he immediately grasped the key point. thought of places that many people can't think of, and Hong Baowei's thoughts coincide. If Hong Baowei heard his words, he would definitely be stunned, and then sighed: "There are so many smart people!" ”

Ma Chenggong is not stupid, but he didn't expect it for a while, and when he heard Yao Weiguang say it, he immediately understood.

"Xiangjiang News" serializes martial arts novels, which seems to have nothing to do with being a newspaper. Newspapers want news, not martial arts novels.

But. There is no problem at all in using martial arts novels to attract readers, increase sales, and open up the market.

The sales volume is there, the market is there, and so on for a period of time, during which efforts are made to improve the quality of news, the speed of news and the level of comments. When consumers form consumption inertia, the overall situation will be decided. At that time, the martial arts novels were taken out and no longer serialized, and the newspapers were full of news. Under the inertia of consumption, sales and market will not decrease.

Ma Chenggong was silent, and then rubbed his brows and said, "I think we still respond to changes with the same." "Oriental Daily" has already formed its own style, and rash changes are just self-defeating, and the gains outweigh the losses. Moreover, even if that newspaper rises and even competes with Oriental Daily in sales, we should have nothing to lose. ”

Yao Weiguang's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth gradually showed a smile: "I know what I said." ”

In fact, he was just trying to test the horse's success and see how adaptable he was. Now it seems that everything is not bad.

……

"Tenryu Babu? Why did you choose such a name for this martial arts novel you wrote, and what is the meaning of it? Qian Minli snuggled up to Stephen Zhao's left hand, watching him crack and typing wildly, creating another martial arts novel.

Zhao Xingchi kept typing in his hand, and at the same time talked to Qian Minli: "Do you know what the meaning of these four words is in the Dao Tianlong Babu?" ”

Qian Minli smiled: "What's so difficult about this. The Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon, Heaven is the meaning of the gods, the dragon is the dragon, and the Eight Divisions are the eight tribes, one day, two dragons, three yakshas, four gandavas, five asuras, six garudas, seven kinaras, and eight maharajas, all of which are terms in Buddhism. ”

"Since Zhilu Tao is a Buddhist term, what other meaning do you say this name can have? It must be because these eight books symbolize some of the characters in the book. ”

Zhao Xingchi explained bluntly: "Heaven is the god of heaven, and the leader is the emperor, so it is often called the emperor and the emperor, which seems to be supreme, but there are five decays of heaven and man; The dragon is a dragon, and he is also a god, and his virtue is very noble; Yaksha is an evil ghost, but in the Buddhist scriptures it is a good evil ghost; Gandharva is a god of music who feeds on aromas, ethereal and elusive; The Asura is ugly for the man, the handsome for the woman, and the king of the Asura is very suspicious, the Buddha says the four thoughts, and the Asura king says the five thoughts, specifically against the Buddha; Garuda is a dragon-eating Roc golden-winged bird that is naturally ferocious; Kinnara is a human and non-human, good at singing and dancing; Mahuraka is a python......"

Qian Minli listened carefully, but then, she suddenly exclaimed: "Tianlong Babu, eight tribes, do you want to write eight protagonists in this book?" ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Zhao Xingchi was immediately choked, his face was purple, and he was speechless for a while: "Eight protagonists? You're not afraid that I'll die of exhaustion. But you guessed one thing, I did write multiple protagonists in this novel, but not eight, but three! ”

"Three?" Qian Minli was stunned and looked at him with incredible eyes. (To be continued......)
