026: Zhao Jiang's mental journey - delight!
Recently, Liu Zhiyuan is very high-spirited, after meeting the Ming lord Zhao Jiang, fate seems to have given him a green light, everything has become so simple, Wu Hua, the former editor of "Daily Express", finally left this work unit that he had worked for several years and worked hard under his means. So far, Liu Zhiyuan has monopolized power in "Daily Express".
He made a drastic rectification without any scruples, first changed the name of the "Daily Express" in a similar way, "Daily Daily", and then corrected the layout of the newspaper to suspend publication, but what could have been completed quickly was committed by this guy with obsessive-compulsive disorder, and it dragged on for five days, after all, with the "Dongxing Daily" in front of the pearl, it would not take five days to be a pig. But Liu Zhiyuan is no, this guy is like he has fallen into an evil spirit, and he has a shadow in his heart, and he can't do it until the fifth day.
If Xiao Tang knew about this, he would definitely cry and laugh, this Liu Zhiyuan was hit hard after being fired from his own company, but he was superstitious about himself, when he was in charge of the scepter of "Daily Express", he actually followed the rules and completely applied the original development model of "Dongxing Daily", but Xiao Tang did this at that time based on many practical considerations, and changed his name because "Star Daily" was only a second-rate newspaper, and he did not care about the loss of tens of thousands of old customers, and the layout was revised for five days because he hoped that the newspaper employees could participate in this reform. Change the layout that best suits the preferences of the citizens of Xiangjiang, instead of his direct overbearing reform with a wave of his hand, after all, before the citizens of Xiangjiang adapt to the "Dongxing Daily", Xiao Tang needs his own employees to adapt to this layout first, so what is the best way to adapt? If you ask Xiao Tang himself, it must have been designed by himself!
That's why there are these two behaviors, if Xiao Tang is put in charge of the first-class newspaper "Daily Express", Xiao Tang will definitely not do this, and he will not even do it for free distribution, at most he will rectify the internal staff team, and he will find a way to expand the audience, so he will think of Liu Zhiyuan to be so foolish.
In the past few days, Liu Zhiyuan's master, Zhao Jiang, the boss of "Daily Daily", has mixed feelings in his heart, looking forward to the future, and being afraid.
It's just that every time he talks to Liu Zhiyuan, he can always be impressed by the calm and unhurried self-confidence of the other party, you must know that the former editor-in-chief of the newspaper is Wu Hua, he is a conservative person, he does things step by step, rarely takes risks, and is very pragmatic.
However, his pragmatism gives people the feeling that he is looking ahead and backwards, and he is not confident in doing things, unlike Liu Zhiyuan, who believes that he will succeed.
Every time Zhao Jiang had palpitations, he went to Liu Zhiyuan, and the other party would tell him, "Don't worry!" Mr. Zhao...... Rest assured! Boss...... "Dongxing Daily" today is our tomorrow, not broken, not standing, Phoenix Nirvana. The day after tomorrow will be very good, and the day after tomorrow will be even better. ”
Zhao Jiang admired Liu Zhiyuan very much, so much so that when he was fighting between Liu and Wu, he did not hesitate to force away Wu Hua, who had worked hard, and now he can be said to have pressed the treasure on Liu Zhiyuan.
On March 20, the "Daily Daily", which had been suspended for half a week for rectification, began to be officially put on the market, and Liu Zhiyuan recalled Xiao Tang's calmness and self-confidence when he held a mobilization meeting for them.
gave a speech with emotion and appearance,
Zhao Jiang, who had been standing for Liu Zhiyuan behind him, nodded from time to time, and his heart was also settled, this wave was stable. It seems to have given birth to a touch of "I have ambitions, and the world can be determined!" The illusion.
Just like the original model of "Dongxing Daily", Liu Zhiyuan completely applied it, and it was a batch of 200,000 copies of the new edition of the newspaper, smashed into the market, different from the original "Dongxing Daily", this time the "Daily Daily" was issued more sensational, this is like an oil pot without waves in the ancient well, falling into a drop of water, splashing not a wave, but an explosion,
Finally, after half a month, new players in the Xiangjiang newspaper industry have joined the new camp, which made the already surging Xiangjiang newspaper scene instantly become a rumor.
The three top streams of the Xiangjiang newspaper circle, the representatives of the old forces, "Oriental Daily", "Sing Tao Daily", "Ming Pao" and other three conference rooms are full of people.
"Report Mr. Ma, I~ Our newspaper circulation today has dropped by more than 6,000 copies, and now the total circulation of the daily newspaper has fallen below 150,000 copies, and there are many loyal readers of the newspaper who either call or write to the newspaper, hoping that our newspaper can also make rectifications and change the traditional layout to a new version of the "Dongxing Daily" layout," Ma Ruxi sat in the conference room and listened to the report of his subordinates, but just after listening to the report of the first distribution director, his brows were furrowed and he could kill a river crab.
It's just bad news!
I only heard the editor-in-chief Liu Jin then stood up and said: "Mr. Ma, according to the analysis of some professionals from the marketing department and the company, the strength of the emerging newspaper "Dongxing Daily" has completely surpassed us in the strength of the current affairs hot news, and their supplement layout is under the effect of buying horses, many families are willing to contribute to it, and it is also bigger, not inferior to "Ming Pao", although the reputation is not obvious, but this newspaper should not be underestimated. It wasn't until not long ago that Liu Jin was shocked to find that people who had used this newspaper said that even if Liu Jin analyzed it himself, it was 360 degrees without dead ends, and this newspaper seemed to have no flaws.
This made Liu Jin very helpless, and he couldn't find a way to defeat the other party, but fortunately, this newspaper has been silent, and does not announce the circulation to the public, and now it is still famous, and there is no blow to the advertising fee business of their "Oriental Daily", but it has fallen behind in the distribution of the newspaper.
"Humph!" Ma Ruxi, who was at the top, patted his thigh and snorted coldly, and said angrily: "Analysis~ Analysis, you have all been analyzing for half a month, and you have analyzed that this newspaper is very powerful." The solution? Whoever will tell me, the last time you told me that the newspaper's sales were declining, it has been slipping for half a month, and I just can't stop it. ”
Suddenly, Ma Ruxi's eyes turned and looked at Liu Jin coldly, "Editor-in-chief Liu, I told you last time to rectify the newspaper layout of the newspaper, you said to wait, but what is the result?" Now that the number of newspapers has dropped by nearly 100,000, what will you do if you sue me? ”
In the end, Ma Ruxi slapped the table and almost roared.
Liu Jin saw sweat on his forehead, he knew that when Ma Ruxi had a meeting last time, he was interested in mentioning it, but at that time, he just said casually, which is what he thinks, and now it has become a rare tool for himself.
Looking a little flustered, Liu Jin could only bite the bullet and say, "Mr. Ma, I'm still trying to figure out a way." ”
"Think? I've been thinking about it for half a month and I haven't come up with a good way - useless things! Ma Ruxi scolded angrily. I don't blame him for being angry, just because this incident was a little unexpected for him, I originally thought that "Dongxing Daily" was just an outlier, and the scenery would be over in a few days, but now I found that this guy is actually a blood-sucking leech, every time he grows stronger, the top streams of Xiangjiang will take off a layer of skin, but the other party is silent, which makes it difficult for people to pay attention, but when everyone pays attention, the other party has gradually become bigger.
"Change!" Ma Ruxi yelled, "Change it for me, tomorrow I will see that the layout of "Oriental Daily" is exactly the same as that of "Dongxing Daily", and the distribution market." ”
"Yes! Be! Be! Liu Jin wiped a handful of fine sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly responded. Ma Ruxi's power is still terrifying.
At the same time, in the office of Jin Yong of "Ming Pao", because Jin Yong was holding a high-level meeting, Ni Huan, who came to ask Jin Yong to revise the draft, waited in the office for a while.
After a long time, Ni Huan drank three cups of tea, and Jin Yongcai walked back to the office with a solemn face.
When did Ni Huan, who had been friends with Jin Yong for many years, see each other like this, and asked with concern: "Check Lao Xi, what's wrong?" ”
Jin Yong suddenly saw that it was Ni Quan waiting for him in the office, he was slightly stunned at first, and then smiled reluctantly, "It's nothing else, it's just a matter of the company's operation, you don't have to worry." ”
"Oh!" Ni Frame suddenly realized that it was the company's business, no wonder the other party was like this, it was not good to continue to ask at the moment, hesitated for a moment before taking out his own draft, and said with a smile: "If you are free, my manuscripts will help you change them!" ”
Jin Yong took Ni Frame's hand with his hand, pursed his lips, and was speechless for a long time, and only after a long time did he glance at Ni Frame with some embarrassment, and said loudly: "Ah Frame, I can't help you again this time." ”
"Why?" Ni Frame was a little stunned and asked puzzled.
Jin Yong sighed a little helplessly, and then said: "Ah Frame, I can't help others cook, smash my own pot!" ”
"What do you mean?" Ni Frame's mind was still a little confused, and he looked at Jin Yong fixedly, and he also realized at this time that something might be wrong. forced Jin Yong to be reluctant to help him even with this little favor, and this matter is likely to be related to the "Dongxing Daily".
"That's the case~" Jin Yong smiled helplessly, the face of the martial arts master in the past appeared a touch of bitterness, he now has the feeling of shooting himself in the foot, and now the "Hair" serialized in "Dongxing Daily" is on fire, and the circulation of their "Ming Pao" is swishing down, and it can't be stopped. He now has a clear sense of crisis and feels the pressure from the "Eastern Star Daily". How could he continue to do this kind of thing of helping the enemy.
And the facts have told him that the move of "unchanged and ever-changing" is obviously unable to cope with the dark horse of the newspaper world of "Dongxing Daily", and now the other two of the three giants of the Xiangjiang newspaper industry have not yet moved, but "Ming Pao" can not wait, and the entire high-level consensus that the new version of "Dongxing Daily" is the future and is deeply loved by the majority of readers. Ming Pao must adapt to the trend and make changes.
Moreover, Shen Baoxin, the second shareholder of the newspaper, also knew that Jin Yong wrote "Hair" to Ni Frame again, and even protested at a high-level meeting to stop Jin Yong's behavior.
Listen to Jin Yong tell Ni Frame about his hardships.
After a long time, Ni Frame sighed: "I see? Why don't you tell me earlier, my "Hair" will not be serialized in "Dongxing Daily", "Ni Frame didn't expect that the share of a big newspaper like "Ming Pao" would drop so terrible.
"What an afterlife!" When Ni Huan thought of the current situation of "Ming Pao" and Xiao Tang's young appearance, he couldn't help sighing, and then thought of his youngest son, the two of them were about the same age, and he was a little stunned for a while, and his heart was complicated.
After bowing his head and muttering for a long time, Ni Huan said to Jin Yong as if he had made some great determination: "Liangyong, how about you say that I serialized "Hair" to "Ming Pao"? "In the end, it's a friend, and it's really unreasonable for him to do something when his friend is in trouble, but there is also a point that he is helpless.
The editor-in-chief of "Dongxing Daily" only recognizes Jin Yong's writing, and he is also very helpless, now Jin Yong can't help him revise the draft, rather than being repeatedly rejected, it is better to switch to "Ming Pao", 500 words sounds bluffing, but the money is not easy to earn! Ni Frame has a deep understanding these days.
Jin Yong glanced at Ni Frame in surprise, and was a little moved in his heart, but said: "Forget it, you also know that I can't give you a manuscript fee of five hundred words per thousand." I appreciate your kindness. ”
It's just that Ni Frame doesn't want the manuscript fee of 500 words for a long time now, it's a sour center, who did he say to him, he has long missed the happy times in "Ming Pao" in the past, although he earns less, but he is happy! Fortunately, he said loudly: "I'm serious!" ”
Jin Yong raised his head sharply and looked at Ni Frame, he was used to writing chivalrous words, but he never thought that there would be many righteous people around him, after all, it was a novel, a dreamlike world, but at this moment Jin Yong felt the kind of thing in Ni Frame that he would only write in books,
As if the softness in his heart was touched, Jin Yong smiled, patted Ni Frame's shoulder, and said with a touching smile: "You~"
Ni Frame's novel "Hair" is still very popular in "Dongxing Daily", and after being polished by Jin Yong, it is even more popular than "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".
Listening to Ni Frame's resolute tone, he really serialized "Hair" to "Ming Pao", and he was a little moved at the moment, but Ni Frame's payment this time was already very large, so the liquidated damages with "Dongxing Daily" must be borne by "Ming Pao", thinking about it, Jin Yong still said: "How do you calculate the contract with "Dongxing Daily"? ”
Ni Frame's face darkened slightly, and he smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid there are five or six hundred thousand, I'll think of a way myself!" ”
Jin Yong's expression changed slightly, his hands couldn't help but clench, and after a while, he said, "Don't worry, I'll make a call." ”
Then the phone dialed the number of the second shareholder Shen Baoxin, and after the two communicated for a while, Jin Yong looked up at Ni Box again, and said with a smile: "I also know your situation, and I can't be stingy with liquidated damages for Ming Pao no matter how much this matter is to help Ming Pao, you talk to that side first, they want a lot of money, and "Ming Pao" will pay for it." ”
"Good! Good! Good! Ni Huan excitedly said three "good" words in a row, as if relieved, and then said goodbye to Jin Yong and left.
Not to mention the feedback of a few major newspapers, the release of the new edition of the "Tian Tian Ribao" still touched the nerves of many people, and after half a month of understanding, the new edition of the newspaper is the voice of the future, and due to the changes in the "Tian Tian Ribao", it has become bigger and bigger. Almost the entire newspaper scene in Xiangjiang couldn't sit still.
At this time, the new edition of the newspaper was pulled to the headquarters of the "Daily Daily" with the second climax. As soon as Liu Zhiyuan entered the door, he was pressed on the sofa by Zhao Jiang laughing, and said with a smile: "Old Liu, you are my great hero!" I heard a report from the distribution department that the market response was very good! We got the bet right this time. ”
Shaking his head with a smile, Liu Zhiyuan said indifferently: "Lao Zhao, this is just the beginning, the excitement is still to come, as long as I follow my original plan, everything from "East Star" and "East" will have to be in the back row." As the old saying goes: "The future is undecided, you and I are both dark horses." ”
"Haha," Zhao Jiang was happy at this time, and he didn't care, Liu Zhiyuan called him 'Old Zhao', but felt that Liu Zhiyuan was so kind, and said with a smile: "I can see that the loss of that "Dongxing Daily" is their biggest loss. ”
"If you're free tonight, I'll take you there, the nightclub is chic!" Zhao Jiang said to Liu Zhiyuan, a great hero.
Liu Zhiyuan was stunned, he had never been to such a high-end place, and when he thought of the legend, he was a little embarrassed and said: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
"Haha, good!" Zhao Jiang smiled happily and said, "Let's decide, you wait for me to drive after work." ”
"Uh-huh!" Liu Zhiyuan nodded hurriedly.
