Chapter 35 Dispatch to Antai
On Monday morning, Zhong Shan went to Antai City with Mr. Meng to discuss the establishment of a reporter station.
The car left the city and drove into the provincial highway leading to Antai City, and the speed began to increase, and the air conditioner in the car exuded pleasant cold air.
It was already summer, and Zhong Shan sat in the passenger seat, his eyes full of lush greenery, straight poplar trees on both sides of the road, and endless crops growing wildly after the rain in the fields.
Zhong Shan remembered the past when he was 12 years old, he secretly ran out of his house and went to his uncle's house in the countryside. That time, he was short and couldn't see the scenery on either side of the road. This time, he sat in front and had a panoramic view of the scenery along the way. Thinking of the new career that is about to start, it is even more proud.
Mr. Meng asked: "Xiao Zhong, what are your own plans for the establishment of a reporter station?" ”
Zhong Shan turned his head, leaned sideways slightly, and said to Mr. Meng, who was sitting behind the driver: "Mr. Meng, I have thought about it in the past two days, and there are three urgent things at the moment: First, the location of the reporter station. On Saturday, I communicated with Wang Jiayu, the vice minister in charge of news work of the Antai Propaganda Department, and he promised to help with the coordination. Second, there is the issue of selecting journalists. I am a reporter, the newspaper headquarters does not need to send other people for the time being, you can rely on the local forces, Antai has its own internal issue number Antai City Daily, and the reporters of Antai City Newspaper can be our special correspondents, of course, the quality of the manuscript must be checked by us, this point is also preliminarily agreed with Vice Minister Wang; Third, there is the issue of revenue generation. The establishment of a reporter station, for the newspaper that is about to expand the source of manuscripts is one purpose, the other main purpose is to increase advertising revenue, Antai is the most active area in the economic development of the Qingshan area, after we set up a reporter station, we must quickly seize the opportunity, cultivate the advertising market, in this regard, we need to recruit a few specialized personnel to do, in the early stage, I think the first to recruit three to five, leave one in the reporter station to be responsible for the reception work, the other personnel to run the business. ”
Mr. Meng nodded while listening to Zhong Shan say what he thought. What he admires most about Zhong Shan is the logic of his writing and speech. These three aspects are exactly what he wants, and they are more detailed and specific than he thought, and some aspects have begun to be implemented.
Zou Shan personally met with Meng Fanye and Zhong Shan, and on the spot vacated two rooms on the first floor of the Antai Hotel and provided them to Qingshan Daily free of charge.
Bidding farewell to Secretary Zou, on the way to the Antai Hotel for dinner, Vice Minister Wang of the Propaganda Department quietly told Mr. Meng and Zhong Shan: "Boss Zou didn't say it in front of you, he has already given our Propaganda Department a death task, and he must publish a front-page headline about Antai in the "Qingshan Daily" every month. Where can I be the master, I have to ask Mr. Meng and Stationmaster Zhong for help! ”
Mr. Meng said: "No problem, when the time comes, you can ask Stationmaster Zhong for an account!" ”
When he came to the Antai Hotel, Wang Jiayu first took Mr. Meng and Zhong Shan to visit the two rooms that were to be allocated to them as reporters' stations, each of which was more than 40 square meters and had good lighting. Meng and Zhong both expressed great satisfaction.
After lunch, Zhong Shan said to Mr. Meng: "Since I came, even if I go to work at the reporter station on the first day today, I won't go back this week, and next week, if Mr. Meng has time, I can come to inspect the construction of the reporter station."
In a week, Zhong Shan did four things.
First, the decoration and layout of the office space of the reporter station was completed. One of the two large rooms is separated from two, and the inner room is used as the stationmaster's office, with a writing desk, a set of bookshelves, and two sofas. The outer room serves as an editing room, with four desks and two sets of roll cabinets. Another large room is used as an advertising room, in the style of a modern office building, with six translucent individual partitions.
Second, the signing of the agreement for special correspondents has been completed. Signed a special reporter agreement with 10 reporters from Antai Daily, including the quantity, quality, and payment method of manuscripts.
Third, the recruitment intention of three advertising personnel has been reached. What made him unhappy was that Vice Minister Wang Jiayu had inserted his nephew in, and when Zhong Shan met with this *, he could see that he was an idle master who did not learn or have no skills, and it was difficult to refute Vice Minister Wang's face, because Wang was providing strong support for nearly a week's work.
Fourth, a long work newsletter with the title of the front page of Antai City was written, entitled "On the Field of Hope", which showed the gratifying development achievements of Antai City since the reform and opening up, especially in the past three years, from multiple dimensions such as the development of agriculture, industry, modern service industry and the improvement of residents' lives.
On Friday, after faxing the manuscript to the editor-in-chief office of Qingshan Daily, Zhong Shan called Mr. Meng to report on the progress of the work in the past week. And invited Mr. Meng to come to inspect on Saturday if he is not busy with work.
Mr. Meng said excitedly on the phone: "It's not an inspection, tomorrow I will go directly to the reporter station to sign up and announce the establishment of the reporter station." Your side is in full swing, and I can't sit back and enjoy it here, I have asked the logistics department to make a plaque. One more thing you have to do is to write an article announcing the establishment of the Aoyama Daily's Antai Reporter Station, which will be published on Monday at the same time as your long newsletter. ”
