Chapter 22, Daily Celestial Times

The general manager of Xingchen Newspaper runs the company

"Is Lei Weidong here?" Li Rui stood in front of the window of the conference room, looking at Victoria Harbor in the distance and said.

"No boss yet! Lei Weidong said on the phone that he would arrive at 10 o'clock, and there was still half an hour. Chen Haiming stood behind Li Rui and said, "But boss, do you really want to agree to Lei Weidong's request and let him become a shareholder of the newspaper?" ”

"What can I do if I don't agree!" Li Rui shook his head and said, "Others don't know, Brother Chen, you still don't know what the situation of the newspaper is now." ”

"We are like a castle on the beach, which seems to be magnificent and sturdy, but in fact it is fragile and thin, and the slightest wind and grass can knock us back to our original shape! As long as the current situation of the newspaper can be saved, any price can be paid! ”

"But can't you think of something else! It's a big deal, let's just pay a little more! Chen Haiming said that Lei Weidong has changed from a contributor who relies on the newspaper to become his own boss, and Chen Haiming has some resistance from the heart.

"If money can solve the problem, it won't be a problem, if I can, I'd rather give Lei Weidong a price of one yuan or even two yuan a word, rather than give up the company's shares, because there is my hard work in this, but as you said, our fragility is clearly seen by Lei Weidong, how could he give up such a good opportunity!" Li Rui sighed.

"Yes! I can only take one step at a time! Chen Haiming looked at Li Rui's depressed mood and didn't know what to say.

"Boss! Lei Weidong has arrived at the company! Now surrounded by our company employees asking for autographs! When Li Rui was complaining, the beautiful female secretary pushed the door in and said.

"Huh! It seems that Lei Weidong has a high reputation among our employees! Li Rui looked at the scenery outside the window and said, "Brother Chen, go and greet me!" I'll be in the past! ”

"Good boss! You just stay a little longer, cool down Lei Weidong, and we can have an advantage in negotiations for a while! Chen Haiming also knew that Li Rui needed to calm down so that he could carry out the following negotiations, so he nodded.

A few days ago, he made a joke because of his dress, and Lei Weidong also knew that he was actually a passer-by in the eyes of the public.

This is not on the way to Xingchen Daily, let alone being watched, even the eyes fall on Lei Weidong, in comparison, Honggu attracts many more eyes than Lei Weidong.

However, after the "Xingchen Daily" went to the situation, compared with some time ago, the office space of the "Xingchen Daily" has been expanded several times, and with the money, Li Rui rented the second and third floors, and the personnel has also expanded several times.

The company's newspaper has gone from a second- or third-rate newspaper on the verge of closure to a Hong Kong newspaper, and even entered the top five, both old and new employees are full of enthusiasm - after the sales skyrocket, the advertising revenue will naturally increase significantly, and the treatment of employees will also be improved accordingly.

And all of this is brought about by a novel by Lei Weidong, it can be said that one person saves one newspaper, and Lei Weidong's reputation in "Xingchen Daily" can be imagined.

It was when Lei Wei took Zhong Chuhong's little hand and walked leisurely through the hall to the elevator, when suddenly a person next to him shouted: "Lei Weidong is here!" ”

Lei Weidong turned his head to look, but he saw a little reporter from "Xingchen Daily" shouting, this thing was like seeing a beautiful woman, rushing towards Lei Weidong.

Hearing the shout, the people on the first floor quickly gathered over, surrounded Lei Weidong, and even Honggu was separated.

There are still people who know me, and I'm still a little famous. This was Lei Weidong's first thought. But soon Lei Weidong became depressed.

"This is the Lei Weidong who wrote "Looking for Qin"?"

"It's so young, it's like the newspaper says. Not yet fourteen years old. ”

"She looks so good, she is much more handsome than Ni Mad Ke, if you want to be able to take a fancy to me" This is a girl's cry.

"Take a picture with me, Mr. Ray! I'm a fan of your books."

“……”

People said a word to me, and surrounded Lei Weidong to death, so that Lei Weidong saw the enthusiasm of reporters some time ago.

"What are you doing here, don't hurry up and get to work!" Lei Weidong, who was a little upset by the crowd, was about to break through with all his strength when Chen Haiming's voice rang out.

"Mr. Lei? Sorry for the faux pas! Looking at the scattered employees, Chen Haiming apologized to Lei Weidong.

\

"It's okay!" Lei Weidong said with a smile: "It should be me who apologizes for affecting the work of the newspaper!" ”

"Mr. Lei, why are you here now! Our boss has been waiting very hard! Since the last time they met, Chen Haiming and Li Rui have been waiting for Lei Weidong every day in the past two days, just because they are afraid that Lei Weidong will vote for his new novel to other newspapers without making a sound.

"Something delayed! Let me introduce you to Zhong Chuhong, my girlfriend, you can call her Ah Hong! Lei Weidong smiled and introduced Zhong Chuhong to Chen Haiming.

"Hello, Miss Zhong, I am Chen Haiming, the editor-in-chief of Xingchen Newspaper, you can call me Haiming!" Chen Haiming said with a smile: "Mr. Lei, Mr. Li has been waiting for you for a long time, let's hurry up!" ”

"Okay!" Lei Weidong doesn't want to waste time, get it done as soon as possible! I still have to live a two-person world with Honggu,

"Mr. Lei, please" In order to leave more time for Li Rui, Chen Haiming first introduced Lei Weidong into his office. "Mr. Lei, please sit down and drink tea! Mr. Li will come over immediately. ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Rui, the general manager and boss of "Xingchen Daily", pushed the door in. "Editor-in-Chief Chen, I heard that Lei Weidong has come to you, what about others?" ”

Chen Haiming looked at Li Rui helplessly, the person was next to him, you couldn't see it, and he was too speechless.

And why is a person as big as you still in such a hurry, didn't you just say that you would come back in a while and cool down Lei Weidong, why can't you hold your breath.

Chen Haiming complained in his heart, we were already very passive in the negotiation, but now that you are so anxious and angry, you are seen by the other party, if you don't cut a few more pieces of meat with a knife for a while, Lei Weidong will not be Lei Weidong.

Hey, the boss is still a little young and doesn't have much patience, much worse than Lei Weidong, the little fox.

"General Manager, Mr. Lei is here." Chen Haiming pointed his finger to the side and said, "And this is Mr. Lei's girlfriend Zhong Chuhong!" ”

Lei Weidong immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Hello, you are Boss Li?" I have admired you for a long time, you are my idol, you started such a big family business at a young age, and you are simply a model for young people. ”

Li Rui's expression was a little embarrassed, after all, the other party didn't see it in front of his eyes just now, and it was a little unreasonable. I'm still too anxious.

However, Li Rui is a well-educated person who has gone through ups and downs after all.

Seeing that Lei Weidong gave the steps, he also took advantage of the situation, and the embarrassment on his face flashed.

also smiled: "Where is it, Mr. Lei is a young talent, he is famous in Xiangjiang at a young age, and I am also a fan of Mr. Lei's books." ”

After the two talked nonsense, Li Rui asked the secretary to go out first, and then asked straight to the point:

"I would like to ask Mr. Lei to continue to serialize new novels in the Star Daily, but Mr. Lei's request for shares is too far, and I can't explain it to the shareholders! Please also ask Mr. Lei to change the condition, we can pay a generous reward, how about one yuan per word! This is definitely the highest price among the sky-high. ”

"Editor-in-Chief Chen should have said, I'm not short of money!" Regarding Li Rui's reaction, Lei Weidong had already expected it.

The prospect of "Xingchen Daily" is so good, as long as you get Lei Weidong's novel, and as long as this novel is not too much worse than "Xun Qin", "Xingchen Daily" can stabilize the current situation.

As long as the time can drag on for a year or two, the situation of "Xingchen Daily" can be stabilized, and by that time, even without Lei Weidong's novels, "Xingchen Daily" will be able to stabilize the status of the top five newspapers in the world.

And the price of shares in Hong Kong's top five newspapers is not something that can be measured by money.

However, the negotiation is to ask for the price to repay the money, and the specific negotiation depends on the hole cards and abilities of both parties, but Li Rui's hole cards are too few, and there is no choice at all but Lei Weidong slaughter, the difference is only a matter of slaughtering more and slaughtering less.
