In an ordinary housing apartment in Kowloon, Qiu Sheng went home early after finishing it, and opened the door as before, his daughter ran to greet him like a little sparrow, and his wife was also busy in the kitchen.

"Daddy, change your shoes, Mommy is going to get the meal ready soon." The daughter, who was less than ten years old, helped her father get his slippers, but her other little hand snatched the newspaper from her father's hand and smiled slyly. Then he ran back to the couch with his feet on his feet, and jumped up on his knees.

Qiu Sheng, who watched it, couldn't cry or laugh for a while, glanced at his wife who was busy in the kitchen, and Qiu Sheng shouted "I'm back".

"Got it, got it, you sit in the living room first, and you'll eat later." Qiu Sheng's wife nagged impatiently, and began to fry the last dish, Qiu Sheng was not annoyed, but smiled.

However, when Qiu Sheng came to the sofa after changing his shoes, he found that his daughter was holding the copy of "Oriental Daily" she had bought at the newsstand downstairs and rummaging through it, I don't know what was wrong.

"Doudou, is there something wrong with that newspaper?" Qiu Sheng asked with some curiosity.

On the sofa, Qiu Sheng's daughter frowned and said a little unhappily: "Daddy, why don't you have the newspaper you brought home yesterday?" ”

"The newspaper?" Qiu Sheng asked with some confusion.

"That's how I read the ......," Qiu Sheng's daughter said, stretching out a little finger as white as an onion and drawing a horizontal line on the newspaper, and then just when Qiu Sheng was wondering, he saw his daughter add: "It's not the one you took, this one doesn't have anything I want to read on it, and it's hard to read." ”

"Oh!" At this time, Qiu Sheng suddenly realized and said, "Doudou, do you want to read the previous "Dongxing Daily"? ”

"Hmm!" The daughter nodded heavily, "That newspaper is so good-looking, it's more interesting to read than Ming Pao, I've been looking for it for a long time." ”

"Okay!" Qiu Sheng glanced at his daughter dotingly, took out a dollar from his pocket, and said, "That newspaper is not delivered for free, if Doudou likes to go downstairs to Aunt Zhang's commissary to buy one and read it." ”

Seeing her father take out the money, the little girl's eyes suddenly turned into crescent moons, and she took the one-yuan bill in her father's hand, and ran downstairs in a hurry.

Perhaps no one in Hong Kong has noticed until now that a newly issued newspaper is slowly changing their reading habits, and Xiao Tang, as the initiator, is now in his office listening to the editor-in-chief Chang Zheng reporting the situation.

"Boss, just in the afternoon, according to the statistics of the distribution department, our newspaper was free of charge for the first five days of release, and our official version only sold more than 20,000 copies on the first day due to unexpected reasons, and the sales volume of the second day exploded to 68,000 copies, and today our sales have exceeded 100,000 copies, and according to this trend, our sales volume still has a lot of room for growth, because just this afternoon, there are many hotels and tea restaurants and snack bars, and there are some newsstands that we have not cooperated with before. Combined with the additional orders from our own regular customers, I have roughly calculated that our sales will rise to 120,000 copies tomorrow. Chang Zheng was extremely excited to speak at the moment, you must know that the road they hadn't walked for five years before was completed by the current "Dongxing Daily" in three days. It's just as fantastical as the Arabian Nights.

Chang Zheng's mood at the moment Xiao Tang can actually understand it, you must understand that the daily sales of 100,000 copies in this era can be regarded as a first-class newspaper, such as "Ming Pao" and "Oriental Daily", the average daily sales are only about 200,000, and at the peak it was only more than 300,000.

And "Dongxing Daily" made its proper debut this time, which was the peak, and it completely entered the Xiangjiang newspaper scene as a dark horse, and there was a direct rhythm of indiscriminate killing.

"Okay, now that your statistics have come out, and the sales have exceeded 100,000 copies, then the reward plan should also be opened, and you let the financial side work with you."

"Okay, boss, I have already calculated with Mr. He before, after deducting the cost and taxes for each of our newspapers, the net profit of a newspaper is 40.2375 cents, and the total amount of rewards for 100,000 copies is 4,237.5 yuan."

"Hmm" Xiao Tang nodded after listening to it and asked, "How did the two groups cooperate with the content of today's newspaper?" ”

"It's all from Group B?" Chang Zheng replied. He didn't dare to say that the group of people in group A didn't work hard these days, because when they were grouped, group A was all divided into some old oil, and it was okay at first, and the spirit of the boss changed for a few days.

"It's all from Group B?" Xiao Tang raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Yes!" Chang Zheng was also a little panicked by the group of old subordinates in Group A, he actually didn't mention these people in private, but the other party couldn't listen to it, and he couldn't help it.

"Okay, I see, you can help me call the editor-in-chief of Group B!"

Xiao Tang thought for a while and didn't say anything more.

Chang Zheng nodded and went out.

And after Chang Zheng left, Xiao Tang began to flip through the documents in his hand again.

But not long after, a young man with glasses knocked on the door and walked into Xiao Tang's office, and asked a little crampedly, "Boss, are you looking for me?" ”

Xiao Tang glanced up at the other party, and then looked down at the document for a while before saying: "Editor-in-Chief Song, I just took a look at the newspaper publication these days, except for the first day, the newspaper published by two groups was completed by two groups, and the newspaper publishing content in the remaining seven days was all completed by your group B independently?" ”

"This?" Song Ze was originally very uneasy when Chang Zheng called him to the boss's office, he didn't know what the boss called him to do, and he didn't say anything to Chang Zheng when he asked him, only said that the boss was looking for him. This will be asked by Xiao Tang again, and he hesitated for a long time and didn't know how to answer, so he hesitated for a long time.

Seeing that the other party seemed to be a little nervous, Xiao Tang was also a little speechless, so he put down the documents in his hand and looked at Song Ze, and said in a very kind tone: "Congratulations to Editor-in-Chief Song, your team has successfully won the first batch of rewards with a newspaper circulation of more than 100,000 points with its own diligence and hard work, a total of 4,230 yuan, you can go to the finance side to collect it, and all the distributions will be completed before getting off work, can you do it?" ”

"Buzz!" Suddenly, Song Ze felt that his head was hit by a sledgehammer,

The bonus of more than 4,000 yuan has his salary for more than two months, and the company actually paid it, which is like a pie smashing on his head.

"Editor-in-Chief Song, you can go to the finance to get the money." Xiao Tang reminded.

"Oh, oh~" Song Ze woke up suddenly and hurriedly said to Xiao Tang: "Thank you, boss, thank you, boss." "It's a bow again, and it's a thanks.

Xiao Tang, who watched it, couldn't cry or laughed, and said: "I want to thank you, making the "Dongxing Daily" 100,000 copies is not my credit, but the result of your efforts, I hope you will make persistent efforts." Strive for "East Star Daily" to surpass "Oriental Daily" and "Ming Pao" as soon as possible and become the largest Chinese newspaper in Hong Kong. ”

"Yes, yes, we will definitely work hard, please rest assured boss." Song Ze almost swore to the sky at this time that he had expressed his loyalty. Speak a little incoherently.

"Okay, okay, let's go, go to the finance and get money for everyone. Let's have a pleasant afternoon. ”

Seeing that Song Ze was going to say more, Xiao Tang hurriedly urged.

"Okay, I'll go, goodbye boss." After thanking him a thousand times, Song Ze turned around and went out.

But just as he was about to leave, Xiao Tang's voice came from behind him, "Oh, by the way, Editor-in-Chief Song, when you go to finance, you also call Editor-in-Chief Liu of Group A." ”

"Understood," Song Ze turned around and nodded to Xiao Tang, although he didn't know what the purpose of the boss's instructions was, he still nodded and suppressed the doubts in his heart, and prepared to do so.

Out of the chairman's office, Song Ze walked back to his workstation all the way, he did not rush to inform everyone of the good news of the boss's office just now, but came to the office area of Group A across only one aisle, and said to Liu Zhiyuan, the editor-in-chief of Group A, who was chatting with several subordinates: "Liu Sheng, the boss asked you to go to finance with me." ”

"Going to finance?" was suddenly interrupted from talking, Liu Zhiyuan glanced at Song Ze with an unhappy face and asked.

"I don't know, the boss asked me to inform you." Song Ze didn't know what Xiao Tang's intention was to let him call Liu Zhiyuan, and he didn't dare to say nonsense, but he still added a sentence; "Maybe it's a bonus!"

After all, the boss just called him to receive the bonus, and it is estimated that Liu Zhiyuan will also have their share, otherwise how could the boss let himself call Liu Zhiyuan!

Sure enough, when he heard that Liu Zhiyuan's big ears moved, and his little eyes, which were squeezed into a line by fat, also blinked. Somewhat surprised, he asked, "Bonus?" What a bonus! I thought the employee handbook was all bluffing. I knew that these things were really cashed, and our group wouldn't be releasing water to you in the past few days. ”

Song Ze only pouted when he heard Liu Zhiyuan say this, and said in his heart: "These days, don't you count your state in your heart?" Relying on his seniority, he said that he would add a burden to the young people, and the hard work was handed over to their group B, and he was embarrassed to say that he would release the water. ”

However, although Song Ze was disdainful in his heart, he didn't show it, but waited for Liu Zhiyuan to stand up and went to the finance room with the other party.

At this time, He Shen was in charge of the property room, and he received a call from Xiao Tang early, and he also knew how to deal with the next thing.

When Song Ze and Liu Zhiyuan came together, He Shen directly took out two envelopes that had been prepared long ago from the drawer, one handed to Song Ze and the other to Liu Zhiyuan, only to see He Shen smile at Song Ze: "Editor-in-Chief Song, this is the company's reward money for your group, please take it." ”

"Thank you and Director." When he really got the bonus, Song Ze was already happy, he was suddenly full of hope for the future, he felt that this time he was with the right person, and he was more determined to work hard with the boss and strive to get the bonus every day.

It's just that Liu Zhiyuan, who was holding the envelope on the other side, was also happy, although he felt that his envelope did not have Song Ze's drum, but he was also very happy, after all, their group really didn't contribute much these days, but the boss was really generous. It seems that he has to do a good job in the future, otherwise he will be embarrassed to take the money, but he just made up for a moment, then he collected his thoughts, and asked He Shen with a smile: "Director He, what about me?" Also a bonus? ”

Hearing Liu Zhiyuan's question, He Shen first glanced at him strangely before saying, "Mr. Liu, this is your salary this month, a total of two thousand two hundred and twenty-two, you can check it." ”

"Salary?" Liu Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, glanced at the envelope in his hand, and hurriedly asked, "Salary...... What does salary mean? ”

"It's very simple, Mr. Liu, you have been dismissed, and from now on you will no longer hold any position in the company."

When he heard He Shen's explanation, Liu Zhiyuan's face turned white.

"Dismissal?"

Holding the envelope in his hand, Liu Zhiyuan asked incoherently: "Why, why did you fire me, and the director, tell me why?" What am I doing wrong? I can change it, can you ask the company not to fire me? ”

He Shen rubbed his eyebrows with a headache,

After working with Xiao Tang for more than ten days, he found a problem, this kid is only seventeen years old, but he is like an old fritter, he never does anything that offends people, he can be a brother with ordinary employees, but he can be scolded as a grandson by company executives. This makes He Shen, who is accustomed to seeing the world, have to sigh, this guy thinks vigorously and resolutely, has a strong sense of purpose, is well versed in the way of the emperor, and can take care of a newspaper company that has just started in just ten days.

But now he can only wipe Xiao Tang's buttocks.

"You're not doing anything wrong, it's just not a good fit for the company's growth strategy." He Shen is also a ruthless person, and he went directly to the company's strategy in one step, and directly told Liu Zhiyuan that he wanted to open his mouth but didn't know what to say.

The atmosphere in the financial room was particularly solemn, and Song Ze, who came with Liu Zhiyuan, was also chilling in his heart, the previous joy had long since dissipated, he had roughly guessed something, although he felt that Liu Zhiyuan deserved it, but he also had the feeling of being sad that the rabbit died and the fox was sad, who would have thought that the two people who entered the door together had two different results.

However, this is also a wake-up call for him, he must not follow in the footsteps of Liu Zhiyuan, after all, there is only one such good money-making conditions in Hong Kong Island now, and there is no other semicolon.

Song Ze didn't know how he left the finance room, and Liu Zhiyuan was still begging the director not to fire him, because it is difficult to find a job with 2,000 yuan in this era, and Liu Zhiyuan is also qualified.

However, Song Ze felt that he had a sentence with the director who was right, "The opportunity company gave it to you, and if you don't use it, let it be used." ”

He also knows what kind of people the company needs, as long as he works hard, the company does not raise idlers.

And when Song Ze returned to the office area, he directly took out the things in the envelope, a stack of Hong Kong banknotes and a reward form, and distributed the reward money directly according to the form, and he personally got a bonus of more than 300 yuan, which is almost equivalent to his four-day salary, and everyone in the entire B group has a reward more or less.

In an instant, the entire group B office area was carnival, they saw hope, they were not crazy about today's reward, but they couldn't help but be excited at the thought of having opportunities in the future.

As soon as several people got the bonus, they shouted that their manuscripts still needed to be repaired, and they worked overtime today to continue to report tomorrow. On the other side, Liu Zhiyuan's group A was a little sour, and a few people had already begun to mumble, "Our editor-in-chief Liu has also been gone for a long time, how can you get a bonus and die in a hurry." ”

It's just that I didn't let the people in Group A wait for a long time, and Song Ze's bonus has not been paid yet, and the depressed Liu Zhiyuan will come back.

"Editor-in-Chief Liu, why are you unhappy! Isn't there a bonus from us? Seeing Liu Zhiyuan appear, a good subordinate directly trotted forward to ask.

Liu Zhiyuan was angry nowhere, and when he saw someone touching him, he scolded directly: "Award Lei Laomu, Lao Tzu has quit his job, and he still wants a bonus?" ”

......

Time flies by like a white horse, and the day flies by in a flash.

In the blink of an eye, the next morning, the reward system implemented by the company was like a shot of chicken blood for employees to grind their fists one by one.

Of course, the fall of Liu Zhiyuan, a real power figure, also alerted everyone's hearts, if you do a good job in the company, some are money, like the editor-in-chief Song Ze, if you want to fish in troubled waters in the company, it will probably be the same as Liu Zhiyuan, and the result of a gloomy exit.

The timing of Xiao Tang's combination of throwing bricks and attracting jade and killing chickens and respecting monkeys is just right. not only gave everyone a dose of strength, but also dispelled the internal panic that might be caused by the dismissal of Liu Zhiyuan.

It's just a day, and everyone no longer pays attention to the problem of Liu Zhi staying away and not leaving, but is looking for news and hot spots. In the hope that your article or news hotspot will be published in the newspaper the next day. Because for "Dongxing Daily", the original monthly salary of hundreds or thousands of yuan is no longer enough to attract them, and they have a new goal, that is, bonuses.

For a while, the lifeless newspaper that Xiao Tang saw at the beginning was transforming from the inside, and it was not a half-star change, but an essential change, everyone moved, and even formed a kind of involution, and the result of this endogenous change is that the "newspaper" is also changing, and the biggest feeling for readers is that the news and current affairs hot spots in the main issue of "Dongxing Daily" are more attractive and more timely, and what may happen that night is in the newspaper the next day, You'll be able to see reports or comments on this event.

This is different from treating the symptoms, what Xiao Tang has done is to treat the root cause and cure the symptoms.

He is like a chess player hidden behind the scenes, slowly reviving the game of "Dongxing Daily".

Maybe many people don't understand Xiao Tang's style of doing things, but in fact, his character is like playing chess in his previous life, fast, accurate and ruthless, only three seconds of chess, killing is only in one thought, and he has the courage to fall without regrets. can also bear the pain of survival, but he has only one goal, that is, the handsome position in the Xiangjiang newspaper world. What do you make money on. That Xiao Tang could only say that he had never thought about simply issuing newspapers to return to his roots. Advertising revenue and establishing the status of Xiangjiang's top newspaper are appropriate financing to develop overseas, and then take the opportunity to list the company when the Xiangjiang stock market explodes, which is a clear route in his mind.

……

Another day full of energy, watching the company he built by himself slowly get on the right track, and the business is gradually getting better, Xiao Tang is also in a good mood, and the big stone in his heart is finally put down.

"It's been more than a month since I came out, and it's time to go home and have a look."
