Chapter 381
"Amusement parks? Aaron, are there any fun amusement parks on Hong Kong Island? ”
This question stumped Zhang Zhonghua, he never went to an amusement park.
So Zhang Zhonghua can only ask Zhang Long, he is on Hong Kong Island most of the time, and Kowloon rarely goes, but Zhang Long is also his assistant, often running around, and he is still relatively familiar with Hong Kong Island.
"There are amusement parks on Hong Kong Island, large and small, and the most fun should be Lai Yuen Playground, many adults and children on Hong Kong Island like to go there to play, just over there in Kwai Tsing District."
Zhang Long thought for a moment and said.
Zhang Zhonghua recalled that he didn't have any impression, whether in his previous life or in this life, he was not too interested in places like playgrounds, so he asked Zhang Long again: "Liyuan Playground?" Kwai Tsing District? Where is Kwai Tsing located? ”
"Kwai Tsing District is on the west side of Beacon Mountain, east of Kwai Chung Wharf."
"Oh, I haven't been to Kwai Chung Pier much, that is, I went there once a few years ago, and I really haven't heard of Kwai Tsing District."
Zhang Zhonghua said with a little embarrassment, his attention was focused on the main island, Kowloon and other places, and he really didn't pay much attention to these corners and corners.
"By the way, boss, Miss Teresa Teng has now started her concert at the Lee Stage in Causeway Bay, you can go and see it if you have a chance."
Zhang Long reminded.
"Teresa Teng? Who is Teresa Teng? ”
Before Zhang Zhonghua could speak, Lou Xiao'e on the side immediately became interested when she heard that it was a woman, so she asked Zhang Long.
"Teresa Teng is now a very popular female singer in Southeast Asia, didn't she sing the songs of the boss the year before last, and now she is holding a concert on the Li stage."
Zhang Long explained to Lou Xiao'e.
"Hey, I almost forgot, how can I say that who has looked at me in the wrong eyes these two days, it turns out that I want to go to Teresa Teng's concert."
Zhang Zhonghua smiled helplessly, he really forgot about this matter.
"Okay, I also want to hear how the singing is, tomorrow I will watch Teresa Teng's performance, and then go to Liyuan Playground the day after tomorrow."
Zhang Zhonghua said.
"Well, I'd like to see what the articles can sing."
Lou Xiao'e said with a smile.
"Zhang Long, you go and ask if there is a private room, Teresa Teng sings very well, we have discs at home."
Zhang Zhonghua smiled bitterly.
It is impossible to crowd people, so you can only enter the private room, and if there is no private room, you will go another day.
Of course, Zhang Zhonghua insisted on a private room, and he would definitely be able to come, but Zhang Zhonghua was not that kind of person. And he feels that it is too inconvenient for him to travel now, and there are more than ten or twenty security guards in the open and in secret.
"By the way, there is also a villa over there in Taiping Mountain, you can also arrange for someone to clean it up, and you may go to live there in the future."
Zhang Zhonghua arranged to Zhang Long.
"Understood, boss! I'm going to arrange it, do I need to redecorate it? ”
"No need, just add furniture and appliances. If there is any damage to the decoration, you can repair it. The decoration of Brother Lak's residence is not always on the table. ”
"Understood!"
After Zhang Long finished speaking, he left to arrange for someone to tidy up the Taipingshan villa.
The next morning, Zhang Zhonghua came to the Jade Emperor Mansion early in the morning, the newspaper company was relatively busy, although it was all handed over to Lin Xingzhi, but there were still a lot of things he couldn't decide, and he needed to make his own decisions.
Lin Xingzhi is also constantly getting familiar with the company's affairs quickly, and news from many countries have begun to send faxes to the Hong Kong Island headquarters, and he can only deeply admire the efficiency of the Jade Emperor Group.
At present, the company's framework is still in the process of adjustment, and the newspaper has not set a release date, but news from all over the world has been transmitted back to the headquarters.
Just when Lin Xingzhi was busy and wanted to grab the ground with his head. Lin Yanni, a well-known female writer on Hong Kong Island who has signed a contract with Jade Emperor Newspaper, brought her good friend Yishu, who is also a well-known female writer on Hong Kong Island, to the bowling alley of Oriental Building to play bowling.
It's working time, the employees of the group are at work, but no one robs her, and she herself is the contracted author, not only enjoys all the benefits of the group, but also is free before work, as long as the manuscript is delivered on time.
"I said Sister Yanni, it's morning, it's your work time, you don't go to work but come to bowling, your manager doesn't look for you?"
Yishu looked at Lin Yanni, who was playing happily, and said with some worry.
"What is the manager looking for me, no one in the Jade Emperor Group cares about me at all, I am very free, and I can do whatever I want.
In the morning, you can go to the company to have breakfast first, then play bowling for a while, go upstairs to write articles when you are tired, eat a buffet for free on the 3rd floor at noon, exercise in the gym on the 5th floor in the afternoon, and go upstairs to continue writing after afternoon tea, as long as you deliver the manuscript on time.
You see that the drinks and snacks here are free everywhere, you can eat and drink as long as you want, as long as you don't waste it, and you can take some home to eat, how nice it is. ”
Lin Yanni wiped the sweat on her head, sat next to Yishu and said with a smile.
"The management of the Jade Emperor Group is too loose, is it, according to what you said, no one cares about you shopping in Central in the afternoon?"
Although he has long understood the super high treatment and comfortable working atmosphere of the Jade Emperor Group, after really understanding it, Yishu still feels a little incredible.
"The other staff are certainly not so comfortable, it's just us writers. Zhang Sheng said that freedom is the source of inspiration, and that a writer who is confined to an office can never write good work.
Not to mention bowling, you just don't want to come to the company to work, go shopping in Central or even want to go to the sea to collect style, only the manuscript is delivered on time, and everything else is a trivial matter.
And the lunch and dinner here are super delicious, you can eat whatever you want, I will take you to the third floor to eat at noon, to tell you, but delicious. ”
"Really? What can I do for lunch and dinner at a restaurant? ”
"Let me tell you, the Jade Emperor Group is not a Ming Pao newspaper with a lot of money, and it costs to eat one meat and one vegetable at noon. The entire third and fourth floors of the Jade Emperor Mansion are restaurants, and there are plenty of dishes to eat, and Chinese food serves more than 20 kinds of dishes every day.
If you want to eat Western food, there is everything from steak salad to Japanese food, sushi, sashimi, tempura, Japanese ramen, and Chinese cuisine, and fruits are also available in unlimited quantities throughout the day.
There are more than 10 kinds of afternoon tea, such as egg tarts, sandwiches, milk tea, coffee, etc., which is simply a paradise on earth. ”
Yishu couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he listened to Lin Yanni's introduction in his ear, the working meals of the Jade Emperor Group were really good, and it was not easy to eat such a complete range of international delicacies outside.
"Sister Yanni, how is the manuscript fee calculated here?"
Yishu asked the question he was most concerned about.
"The manuscript fee here is far more than that of Ming Pao, and the prose I write is 200 words per 1,000 words, and if there are more letters from readers, it will increase.
In contrast, the salary I got in Ming Pao was too shabby, and I was required to write at least five articles a month in the Jade Emperor Newspaper, and of course it was best to write more, which was a treatment that only well-known writers could enjoy. ”
Lin Yanni explained to Yishu.
After listening to what Lin Yanni said, Yishu immediately became a little upset, and even wanted to go back to Mingbao to find Jin Yong's theory, the treatment between the two sides is simply worlds apart, Mingbao treats them as cattle and horses.
"I want to come here too, but I still want to study in the UK in a few years."
Yishu said with some sorrow.
"It doesn't matter, you work in the Jade Emperor Newspaper for two or three years, if you want to study abroad, the company will pay to train you, and the senior management of the Jade Emperor Group will also be sent to foreign universities for further study, if you can hand in qualified manuscripts on time, the group will naturally pay the manuscript fee."
"Do you have to go back to work in the group after graduation?"
Yishu asked Lin Yanni a little embarrassed, this question made her a little speechless.
I also asked Zhang Sheng about this question, and Zhang Sheng clearly told me at that time that if I was not happy with the Jade Emperor Newspaper, I could go to work in other companies of the group and leave at any time.
Moreover, Zhang Shengke personally said that a company's failure to retain talents is a failure of the company, so he strives to improve various welfare benefits, just to retain talents. ”
Lin Yanni said generously to Yishu.
"Yanni, Yishu, you are also here, how do you play this bowling?"
When the two were talking, Gu Long carried a bottle of wine, swayed into the bowling alley, saw two acquaintances at a glance, and was very surprised to see the two Gu Long, thinking that they didn't all work in Ming Pao, and they also jumped ship?
Gu Long didn't know that Lin Yanni had signed a contract with the Jade Emperor, so he was very surprised.
"Brother Yaohua (Gu Long's real name Xiong Yaohua) Okay, have you also signed a contract with the Jade Emperor?"
Lin Yanni asked.
"Hey, did I come to Hong Kong Island to play before, I saw Zhang Sheng's recruitment, and I came to take a look by the way, you must know that I have been admiring Zhang Sheng for a long time.
After I came, I found that this place is really good, all kinds of wine are available, and I drink casually, Zhang Shengyi invited me to take a look. ”
Although Gu Long said the reason for this unabashedly, he still said with a slight embarrassment.
"Oh, have you gone to the Jade Emperor Newspaper on the eleventh floor?"
Yishu asked.
"I haven't been there yet, I'm here to see it today. But I haven't had breakfast yet, so the staff sent me to the third floor, and when I was eating, I heard that there was a gym and a recreation room here, so I was curious to come and see. ”
Lin Yanni and Yishu looked at Gu Long very speechless, you are eating and drinking in the name of a great writer, you haven't reported to eat and drink first, you have more characteristics as soon as you drink, can you still go to the newspaper after drinking?
"Okay, let's go play billiards."
Lin Yanni shrugged and said to Gu Long.
"I can play billiards, but ordinary billiards is fine, and I can't play snooker."
Gu Long took a sip of wine at the request of Lin Yanni who was hungry, and then stared at Lin Yanni and Yishu and asked, "By the way, your two talented women on Hong Kong Island have all come to Zhang Sheng?" ”
"I have left Ming Pao and officially joined the Jade Emperor Newspaper, and Yishu is still considering it."
Lin Yanni said.
"This old check, it's good anywhere, it's just a little stingy, and it's right to leave. It's still good here, eat and drink for nothing, and no one cares yet. ”
Gu Long laughed.
These words made Lin Yanni directly have a black line, only you are the real one who eats and drinks for nothing, and I started drinking before I even boarded the door of the company, and I still worked for two days before I started to eat and drink.
"Brother Xiong, are you no longer in the bend? Do you want to go to work at the Jade Emperor Newspaper too? ”
Yishu asked curiously.
"Go to work? How can I go to work, it's just that I have nothing to do to come to the Jade Emperor Group, all the money I earn is gone, and now the housing prices on Hong Kong Island are so expensive, I can't afford it. ”
Gu Long took a sip of wine and said.
Work? It's impossible to go to work in this life.
And it's so boring to go to work, where can't you write a book? If I sit in the office every day, I'm afraid I won't be able to write a word!
"As long as you think the house price is expensive, you can write a random house in the Jade Emperor Newspaper and come out, and it will only be a matter of one or two months at most.
By the way, if you sign a contract with the Jade Emperor Newspaper, you can buy a house not to mention the manuscript fee alone. ”
Lin Yanni quipped.
"Signing fee? What is the signing fee? ”
Hearing an unfamiliar term, Gu Long asked in surprise.
"The signing fee is that we, the writers, sign a contract to contribute to the Jade Emperor Newspaper, and the Jade Emperor Newspaper pays a fee according to the writer's fame and the length of the contract.
I signed a five-year contract, and I got 20,000 Hong Kong dollars for the signing fee alone, and if you sign a contract, Brother Xiong, the signing fee will start at 50,000 Hong Kong dollars. ”
Lin Yanni said enviously.
Not only Gu Long, but Yishu was also shocked, there was such a thing as a signing fee, Zhang Sheng also valued the writer too much.
"50,000 Hong Kong dollars? Miss Lin looked down on the name Gu Long a little. Xiong Sheng's signing fee starts at 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the signing fee is higher for a long time.
Xiong Sheng, Miss Yishu haven't seen each other for a long time, let's play two together. ”
Zhang Zhonghua, who came from the office to prepare for exercise, heard the three of them speak loudly.
"Zhang Shenghao."
Gu Long and Yishu said embarrassedly, Gu Long was even more embarrassed, and hid the half-drunk wine behind him.
"Hahaha, Xiong Sheng, we have known each other for a long time, you don't have to be restrained, the Jade Emperor Group's wine pipe is enough, you can drink as much as you want, but you also have to pay more attention to your body, after all, drinking alcohol hurts your liver."
Zhang Zhonghua persuaded Gu Long.
He really wanted to say to Gu Long, you died young because of drinking, and it would be better to drink less to keep your useful talent and write a few more books.
"Hey, hey, I understand what you said, my hands itch when I see wine, and I can't write without wine."
Gu Long said very embarrassed.
"Okay, but it's better to drink less."
After a few people played billiards for a while, Zhang Zhonghua took Gu Long and Yishu to the newspaper office to sign a contract.
With Gu Long, Yi Shu, and Lin Yanni all succeeding in signing the contract of Jade Emperor Newspaper, the staff of Jade Emperor Newspaper are very excited, and the arrival of two talented women and a big talent has added a lot of foundation to Jade Emperor Daily, and there will be more writers who will vote in the follow-up with a good start.
