Chapter 115: Sticks and Carrots
In fact, Chen Jun didn't want to say this in his heart, but he is young now, he has just taken over the newspaper, and he is from a gangster, and his actions are not abrupt in the eyes of everyone, but give people a sense of grandeur and arrogance.
Since they are all bleeding, and they are still pretending to be elegant and noble, the young man should be vigorous.
Chen Jun sat down on the president's chair again, crossed his hands, and looked at everyone with his eyes, "Don't you speak?" Then I'll say it. ”
"If any of you ministers are not used to me now, you can quit the newspaper now!"
The middle level of the newspaper office sitting below looked at each other, or looked at the young man's face with his spare eyes, but no one dared to stand up and move.
"Heh~" Chen Jun chuckled, "I mean really, now that you leave, I will pay you off your salary and 3 times the severance bonus, I really don't have the heart to deal with you, everyone is good to get together and disperse." ”
Hearing this, some people's eyes flashed with eagerness.
He shook his head, "Don't be afraid, what I said is true, I will also implement the assessment system in the future, and if I find out that some of you are tired, you will still be dismissed, and there will be no salary and bonus payment at that time." ”
"And if there is a major mistake, I will prosecute you, and it will be carried out by this barrister from Stanford University."
He glanced at Tom Hagen, the military advisor who was suppressed and patient, even if he forced him down just now, I am afraid it would be difficult for him to understand his approach.
He intends to develop a modern performance appraisal system, thanks to the establishment of a new media team, he has read some management books, this set of performance appraisal system will be a month later, the people's hearts will be stabilized, will be handed over to professional management personnel to implement.
Hearing that he seemed to be playing seriously, a middle-aged blonde man stood up and said in a rough voice, "I resign!" ”
Chen Jun nodded, "There will be someone to deal with these things for you later."
With the first bird, two more middle-level people stood up at the moment, and he continued to ask, if there was any, no one stood up behind.
Chen Jun glanced around, and the people who stood up and resigned just now were all Caucasians, serving as editor-in-chief, advertising minister, and editorial director, and the rest of the five or six people left, except for Wilde, who was promoted by him just now, they were all middle-level managers over 40.
It seems that not everyone can give up a good salary and hard-won status.
"Honestly, I'd love to trade you, I need new blood, but since you've chosen me, I'll pay you handsomely." Chen Jun said calmly.
"From today onwards, the salary of the middle and above management level of the newspaper will be increased by three times, and the salary of the grassroots staff will be doubled, and in addition, for example, reporters, if they can dig up big news events, the bonus will start at $1,000, and there is no upper limit!"
A few middle-level people who proposed to resign just now instantly turned into bitter gourd faces, and the other people who chose to insist on it could not hide their surprise, this happiness came too suddenly.
"I don't believe that any newspaper in Los Angeles can open this kind of salary, and the New York Times is no exception, but since this salary is opened, I hope to see that the newspaper can see an active, exciting, rather than lifeless appearance." He continued.
"One more thing, remember, after a month, I will conduct an evaluation and assessment, and those who do not meet the standards will be ruthlessly dismissed!"
Chen Jun still put a string in their brains, "Go out, you can share this news with the employees, I believe they will be very happy!" ”
Tom Hagen watched the whole situation change, as if he realized something, and took a deep look at William, who was surprised by the upheaval of the situation.
I was trembling just now, but now I am ecstatic, people's hearts are so easy to manipulate, and Lawrence, who is still covering his head and bleeding and moaning, is like a dead dog next to a garbage heap, no one pays attention to it anymore.
"Mr. Wilde, may we talk?"
When Hagen saw William stop the middle-aged man with an East Asian face, he looked very excited, and his face turned red, as if he had foreseen a bright future for him.
He had to admit that this Asian was a good hand in the newspaper, and when the newspaper president, Adams's father, was alive, he joined the newspaper as a reporter, and gradually edited, typesetting, planned, advertised and outreach, and did almost all the work at the grassroots level of the newspaper.
When Adams accepted the newspaper, he had become the head of a department, and then used more than ten years to gradually become the editor-in-chief, the third most powerful person in the newspaper, very Oriental tenacity.
It's a pity that the color of his skin limits his development, otherwise it would never be the same.
He was also one of the talents pre-selected for Willian in his plan, ranking second and first being a white Italian, but Chen Jun did not choose and just fired him.
**
"Are you Chinese?" Chen Jun smiled and asked in fluent Chinese, "The name Wilde is very Western!" ”
Familiar and pure tone, more familiar than him, Wilde instantly recovered from his surprise, and replied in restrained and calm Chinese, "Wang is my surname, Er is a gentleman, and virtue is virtue!" ”
"Mr. can also speak Chinese, which sounds more standard than mine!"
"I like the culture over there, and I studied it on purpose." Chen Jun shrugged, "Do you know why I chose you?" ”
"I'm experienced, I'm capable, and I'm just as ambitious."
Chen Jun glanced at his white hair and smiled unexpectedly, "You think you'll deal with the silence of the East, many of my friends like this." ”
"That's right, I've read your resume, you've been in the business for more than 20 years, and this newspaper has been able to maintain this circulation, you also have a lot of credit, ambition? I can see your reluctance, but that's only part of the story. ”
"You're a media communications major at USC." Chen Jun didn't deliberately sell Guanzi, "I was also born in USC, majoring in theater history and economics. ”
Wilde's eyes grew uncontrollably, and he didn't expect it to be because of this joint.
"USC School of Journalism and Communication is No. 1 in the United States, I believe in your strength, and more importantly, I like to use my own people!"
He held out his hands, Wilde shook them, and took a slight breath, "Hope it won't disappoint you." ”
"Hmm!"
He answered, "Now I have some tasks that I want to give to you." ”
"You say." Wilde said.
"Now that the newspaper has vacated the top leaders of three departments, I hope you will be able to recommend candidates to fill the vacancy in a short time."
Wilde's heart moved, isn't this just for him to put someone in the hand? Suddenly, he jumped up excitedly, but he heard him say, "I don't ask for many conditions, two, ability and loyalty, and I don't care about the rest of the skin color, race, gender, etc., understand?" ”
"Also, I hope you can use the resources of the past 20 years to tap some media personnel with good ability. As well as connecting with the USC School of Journalism, if I can recruit their young new blood, I don't care about the salary, only have enough ability. ”
Chen Jun wants to build a stronger and more powerful team.
"Of course, this work can be done slowly, and the candidates can be filled first."
"As for the above needs, I want to see a plan in two days, and there will be someone to connect you with the resources you need."
His tone is all affirmative, completely like a professional boss.
After Wilde left, Chen Jun exhaled, turned to look at Tom Hagan, who had already stood up again, and said, "How is it, when will your financial staff and arranged resources arrive?" ”
Tom Hagen had made a lot of plans and opinions for the newspaper in his previous information, but he didn't use any of them.
"In two or three days, but I have some questions, and I need you to give a reasonable explanation."
Heigen's face is not good-looking, in fact, he can suppress his anger for so long, it is already considered that he has excellent cultivation to give Chen Jun face.
"You say." He said.
"First, why is the method so brutal?"
"Although I don't deny that you have a good effect, there are better ways to do it. William, this is business, not gangster killing! ”
Tom Hagen glared angrily, his fingers tapping on his desk.
"Second, have you ever thought about the reaction of Adams, the newspaper director?"
"Move his people first, and then use the president's power like this, trying to empty him, if he takes countermeasures, it can cause us a lot of interference, you know?"
"Thirdly, from your various layouts, I don't see an organized plan, I hope you can tell me the plan in your heart, and I will judge it for you to revise."
