Lin Xingzhi was stunned after entering the Jade Emperor Newspaper, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw all kinds of snacks, drinks, newspapers, and magazines placed on the shelves at the door, especially all kinds of newspapers and magazines, as long as they can be obtained here on Hong Kong Island, and even magazines in Europe and the United States that are not available on Hong Kong Island.

Let Lin Xingzhi sigh that the Jade Emperor Group's treatment really threw off Ming Bao ten streets, and it is worthy of the Jade Emperor Group's wealth.

"Hello, welcome to Jade Emperor Newspaper, do you have anything to do?"

The front desk saw someone coming in, and hurriedly got up and said to Lin Xingzhi, she didn't know if she was here for an interview or to talk about business.

However, in her opinion, Lin Xingzhi was mostly here for an interview, because the Jade Emperor Newspaper had just been established now, and there was no business to talk about at all.

What's more, she didn't know what position this person was interviewing for, in case she came to interview her superior, and the interview was successful, then she would be wearing small shoes, which made her dare not snub Lin Xingzhi at all.

"Hello, my name is Lin Xingzhi, and today I am here to interview for the position of deputy manager of the newspaper at Yuhuang Newspaper, this is my resume."

Lin Xingzhi spoke very politely and handed out his resume.

"Okay, Mr. Lin, please come with me to the small conference room and wait."

Saying that, he took out a printed interview form from the drawer at the front desk, and then led Lin Xingzhi into a clean and tidy small conference room?

The front desk lady put away Lin Xingzhi's resume and various certificates, and then handed Lin Xingzhi a pen and asked him to fill out the interview form here.

"Mr. Lin, I don't know if you need tea or coffee, if you don't want to drink tea or coffee, you can drink all the drinks in this conference room."

"Thanks, I don't have to get it, I'll just get a bottle of Coke myself."

Lin Xingzhi said with a smile on his face, and then asked his doubts: "I'm sorry to have a question, I heard what you were reading when I came in just now, and it sounded quite strange, I couldn't understand what it was at all, what was it?" ”

"Oh, Mr. Lin, what I was just reciting is the root of the Wubi input method, which is a computer Chinese character input method invented by our boss Zhang Sheng, and Chinese characters can be typed on the computer through the next Wubi input method.

But if you want to use the Wubi input method to type, you must first memorize the root of Wubi, and then split each Chinese character and then combine it, so that you can type Chinese characters on the computer. ”

The front desk lady explained to Lin Xingzhi.

"Computer Chinese character input? It's really amazing, I didn't expect Zhang Sheng to have invented the computer Chinese character input method, which is a problem that has plagued the industry for a long time. ”

Hearing the explanation at the front desk, Lin Xingzhi praised Zhang Zhonghua from the bottom of his heart.

Chinese character input method is a big super problem,Mainly because the number of Chinese characters is too many glyphs and various,Unlike English, you only need letter combinations,To be able to develop a Chinese character input method,Even if this input method is troublesome,It's definitely a very great achievement。

"The boss invented the Chinese character input method as early as two years ago, but because the computer is too expensive now, the Wubi input method is not very useful, so it has not been promoted. Our boss Zhang Sheng, who is known as a computer supermaster all over the world, had a lawsuit with IBM before, and most importantly, won the war. ”

The front desk said to Lin Xingzhi with a smile that she also admired the boss 120,000 points.

"Oh, why did Zhang Sheng start a lawsuit with IBM, I was studying in the UK a few years ago, and I didn't pay attention to this."

Lin Xingzhi didn't know much about these things, so he asked with some curiosity.

Zhang Sheng developed a database software two years ago, and at the same time, IBM in Chou China, Rockville and Caterpillar in North America were also developing database software.

As a result, the database software developed by Zhang Sheng and the database software being developed by IBM collided, and IBM shamelessly sued Zhang Sheng for infringement, and finally filed a lawsuit in the ugly country.

After winning the lawsuit, Zhang Sheng sold the compression software he developed to IBM at a sky-high price of $1.5 billion, so that the boss moved the computer industry. ”

The receptionist explained to Lin Xingzhi.

Lin Xingzhi was really shocked this time, he didn't know about the lawsuit, but he knew about IBM's compression software and the Unix system's own C language.

When he was studying in the UK, he was exposed to these things, and his mentor said that it was the future of computing, but he didn't pay attention to who the developers were.

After Lin Xingzhi chatted with the front desk girl a few more words, the front desk girl left, and after the front desk girl left, Lin Xingzhi then picked up the form and filled in the personal information, and at the same time secretly made up his mind to join the Jade Emperor Group.

At the same time, the printing director of the Jade Emperor Newspaper used the CAD template designed by Zhang Zhonghua to randomly fill in some words and pictures, printed a newspaper, and then took the newspaper to Zhang Zhonghua.

Zhang Zhonghua was still a little excited when he looked at the newspaper in his hand, it was really rare, and the newspaper was still comfortable to read horizontally.

This is probably the first newspaper printed out by a computer, and it is very collectible.

"Boss, it's so convenient to use the CAD software you developed to print newspapers, we used to make newspaper typesetting was super troublesome, and it took a lot of energy every time, and sometimes there were mistakes in the text, and everyone had to get by.

Now, if something goes wrong, you can modify it directly on your computer, and the newspaper template can be modified or swapped at any time, and it is much easier to save it on tape. ”

The Minister of Printing of the Jade Emperor Newspaper said excitedly to Zhang Zhonghua.

"The only thing that is a little troublesome now is picture processing, and foreign English newspapers are like this, and there is no way to do it, and it will be good after the computer can process pictures in a few years."

Zhang Zhonghua said regretfully.

"Boss, I think this has been a lot more convenient, plus the cooperation of fax machine and scanner, the newspaper can be sold simultaneously around the world, which is much faster than the previous information transmission. Otherwise, even if the fax is over, it will have to be reformatted, not to mention the trouble, and it will seriously affect the timeliness of the news. ”

Zhang Zhonghua is very satisfied with the former printing director of the "Overseas Chinese Daily", who is worthy of being a technical talent who has been working in printing for 20 years, and his ability to accept new things is even stronger, and he can skillfully apply and use CAD software in just a few days.

"Yes, print a few more copies of the newspaper for everyone to see, try to point out the shortcomings, and then continue to revise it, and try to make it as perfect as possible."

Zhang Zhonghua was discussing the newspaper with the printing minister when the deputy manager of the newspaper knocked on the door and walked in.

Now "Overseas Chinese Daily" has been reborn, so that everyone in the company is full of energy and looks a lot younger.

"Boss, just now a candidate came to interview for the position of deputy manager of the newspaper, because the job of the interview requires you to check together, according to the resume, this is a Cambridge Institute of Technology graduate of the United Kingdom."

The deputy manager said to Zhang Zhonghua.

Zhang Zhonghua took the resume and looked at it, this is a bilingual resume introduction in Chinese and English, and it is written more carefully.

Lin Xingzhi, 30 years old, worked as a data collector at Ming Pao in 1960, and later rose to the editorial position of Ming Pao, went to Cambridge Institute of Technology in England to study economics in 1965, and after graduating in 1969, he practiced in the UK for a period of time, and just returned to Hong Kong Island this year.

Zhang Zhonghua was secretly surprised when he looked at this experience, he became an editor from a data collector in just a few years, and he also studied economics in Cambridge, England for four years.

In fact, what Zhang Zhonghua doesn't know is that this Lin Xingzhi is far better than he imagined, and in the timeline without him, after Lin Xingzhi returned to Hong Kong Island from the United Kingdom, he joined the "Ming Pao" newspaper again.

With his outstanding ability, he was appreciated by Jin Yong, the boss of "Ming Pao", and served as the deputy editor-in-chief in charge of the economic edition of "Ming Pao".

In 1973, Lin Xingzhi left the "Ming Pao" newspaper and founded the "Hong Kong Economic Journal", which is also the first Chinese newspaper on Hong Kong Island to focus on financial news.

"Let's go, let's go to the interview together, get the newly printed newspaper, and let this top student in the industry come back from studying in the UK for some guidance."

Zhang Zhonghua walked to the small conference room with several key members of the newspaper, if this person is really extraordinary, then the person in charge of the newspaper will have it.

"Zhang Shenghao, Liu Shenghao, Hu Shenghao, and ......"

Lin Xingzhi saw the four people enter the conference room and immediately got up and said, Zhang Zhonghua's photos are on some, he knows, and many people on Hong Kong Island don't know the Hong Kong Governor, but there are not many people who don't know Zhang Zhonghua, at least people in slightly more prosperous places know Zhang Zhonghua, after all, there is Zhang Zhonghua's book in the CFC, and there is a photo of Zhang Zhonghua in the book.

As for the others, they are all industry insiders, and Lin Xingzhi has been in contact with them when he worked at Ming Pao in the past few years.

"Hello Mr. Lin, I am Gao Xiangyu, who used to be the head of the printing department of Huaqiao Daily, and now I am the director of the printing department of Yuhuang Printing Company."

The Minister of Printing introduced himself to Lin Xingzhi.

"You're welcome, sit down."

Zhang Zhonghua took out five bottles of Coke from the freezer of Yuhuang Electric and handed them to everyone, and then sat on the main seat.

After Lin Xingzhi first introduced himself, several company executives who came for an interview began to ask some questions.

Lin Xingzhi was originally an industry insider, and he studied in the UK for four years, and studied in the British newspaper for nearly a year, and his answer was very chic and free, and every sentence could cut to the point, after all, although the newspaper industry has existed on Hong Kong Island for more than 100 years, it is still very backward compared to Europe.

The four of them exchanged a look and were very satisfied, they were very satisfied with their work and study experience, Lin Xingzhi also worked part-time in Pearson Group during college, and after graduation, he studied in the Times for half a year, and his level was much higher than that of several people here.

"I don't know what Lin Sheng thinks about the distribution channels of the Jade Emperor Daily?"

Seeing that several newspaper executives were very satisfied with Lin Xingzhi, Zhang Zhonghua also asked his own questions.

"Zhang Sheng, Yuhuang Group itself has a large network of sales channels, which can be sold in a combination of Homemart convenience stores, CFC restaurants and existing traditional models.

】

However, in order not to impact the traditional sales channels and cause a large number of related employees to lose their jobs, the group's unique sales channels, such as convenience stores and CFC restaurants, can only sell Jade Emperor Daily for a long time, after all, if a large number of people are unemployed, the impact on the group will be bad. ”

Lin Xingzhi said his thoughts freely, and he was not satisfied with his answer to Zhang Zhonghua, and he was also very thoughtful in all aspects.

As for not selling other newspapers to make money? Zhang Zhonghua did not expect to make money selling newspapers for a short time.

"So if Jade Emperor Newspaper wants to enter the global market, what should it pay attention to?"

"The most important thing for a newspaper company is talent and information channels, and if Jade Emperor Newspaper wants to enter the global market, it has every need and ability to set up its own news agency.

After the group has a news agency, it also has a strong intelligence channel, which can pay attention to global changes in real time, which is of great help to the group to enter the stock market or futures market in the future.

News agencies can also provide news services to the outside world, not only traditional media, but also those funds, securities companies, financial companies, etc.

Zhang Zhonghua was very satisfied with Lin Xingzhi's narration, he did not just want to sell newspapers, but wanted to set up an organization like the Associated Press, Reuters and other large news agencies, after all, selling newspapers can only make a few dollars, even if it is added to the advertising fee, there is not much money.

Subsequently, everyone in the newspaper began to drink Lin Xingzhi to discuss various issues, and the chat became more and more energetic, especially Lin Xingzhi's very unique views on economics, so that Zhang Zhonghua wanted to transfer him to Yuhuang Securities to work.

"Mr. Lin, I am very satisfied with you, you are temporarily the general manager of the Jade Emperor Newspaper, I don't know what you have for the salary?"

In the end, Zhang Zhonghua decided that Lin Xingzhi would temporarily serve as the general manager of the Jade Emperor Newspaper to see the after-effects.

Zhang Zhonghua's question made Lin Xingzhi a little difficult, you must know that when the Jade Emperor Group recruited in the UK, the salary given for the position of general manager was about 1,000 pounds, equivalent to nearly 15,000 Hong Kong dollars, can Hong Kong Island offer such a high salary?

Zhang Zhonghua looked at Lin Xingzhi's somewhat embarrassed expression and understood what he meant, foreign salaries are worlds different from Southeast Asia, and Lin Xingzhi knows that the Jade Emperor Group recruits students in major colleges and universities

Moreover, Zhang Zhonghua is not very familiar with the salary standards formulated by the group's administration department and the finance department, so he asked the management of the newspaper around him: "Has the group's finance department formulated the salary standard of the Jade Emperor Newspaper Company?" ”
