041: Parting
News Corp's efficiency is not slow, and when Xiao Tang relented, all acquisition plans were carried out in an orderly manner.
Snake Head Chun is nominally Xiao Tang's driver, but this guy doesn't know the road, so Xiao Tang still does the driving work, and as for Snake Head Chun, he now plays the role of a bag picker.
……
In the "Dongxing Daily" building, when Xiao Tang came to the staff work area again, the busy atmosphere in the office area was sluggish, and then everyone put down their work one after another, and their eyes were focused on Xiao Tang.
A lot had happened in the previous month, but nothing was more disturbing for the employees of the Eastern Star Daily than the disappearance of the boss,
After all, the current working environment and salary reward system of "Dongxing Daily" were established by Xiao Tang, and these people are all beneficiaries.
Although the internal competition of Dongxing Daily is fierce, it is undeniable that all of them are paid several times better than their peers.
Of course, their enthusiasm for work has also been infinitely amplified, and the feedback to the market is that "Eastern Star Daily" has surpassed all newspapers in Hong Kong in terms of sales.
The team has been established perfectly, the company's development goals are also very clear, "Dongxing Daily" is the top in Hong Kong in terms of influence and popularity in the market, which is why Murdoch directly smashed Xiao Tang with money, because this team and this company will not lose even if they have a premium, and even the skeleton of "Dongxing Daily" has been built, as long as there are sufficient funds, whether it is finance, entertainment and other magazines, they can grow with the help of this skeleton, this is a company with great potential.
And the reason why Xiao Tang divided the competitive development of the AB group at the beginning was actually because of his ambitions, fission development, one two, two into four, until he occupied all the channels, made up for all the shortcomings, and ate the corners and corners of the media industry, and his competitive team, as long as there is a leader, will inevitably form combat effectiveness in the shortest time.
It's just that now everything is over, the blueprint is good, but Xiao Tang has no money to depict him, this is a dead knot, and now he is in trouble both internally and externally, he chooses to take the money and leave, which should be the best choice.
Looking at the eyes that were cast at him, these brothers who had fought with him, Xiao Tang felt the need to make a parting speech and a word of thanks.
"Perhaps, there is a piece of news that I need to announce to you personally." Xiao Tang, who was standing in the office, prepared a moment of wording and said slowly.
At this time, one of the employees in the office who was still watching stood up one after another, and looked at the young and heroic boss standing at the aisle.
"The company will be taken over by an Australian media giant from tomorrow." As soon as Xiao Tang's words fell, he thought that everyone would be shocked, but what surprised him was that everyone was just looking at him and didn't speak, not even muttering in a small voice.
Reluctant to smile, Xiao Tang said: "News Group is an international large media group, I believe that the "East Star Daily" will do better and better, and your wealth and status will also rise, international integration is the biggest goal at the beginning of my newspaper, although the final result is a little unsatisfactory, but the same way, I have completed this goal, so from tomorrow, I will step down from all my positions in the newspaper and say "goodbye" to all my colleagues, and say thank you! With that, Xiao Tang solemnly bowed to everyone present.
"Whoa!" A burst of fierce applause came, and I don't know who shouted in the crowd, "Boss Xiao, can you take us with you when you leave the company, we are willing to follow you." ”
Then there was a burst of harmony, more than a hundred people chattered, it is undeniable that as long as Xiao Tang nodded at this moment, at least two-thirds of the employees were willing to resign and leave with him, "Yes, at least!" ”
Xiao Tang shook his head with a wry smile and said: "I'm afraid this won't work, I signed an agreement with the new owner of the newspaper that I can't engage in the media industry in Hong Kong within three years, and I have no way to settle you!" And you are the most valuable asset of this company, the Australian media will not allow me to do this, believe me, your welfare benefits will only get better and better under the leadership of the new owner. ”
Since the two sides are a fair deal, Xiao Tang doesn't mind saying something good for News Corp. and letting "Dongxing Daily" pass through this transition period safely.
Suddenly, there was a burst of footsteps outside the door, and He Shen led several security personnel to carry two large boxes to the staff office area, and at the same time, both security and company cleaning were summoned, more than one hundred and thirty people, including all the company's employees.
The boxes were opened together, and bulging envelopes appeared in front of everyone, and almost everyone realized what was happening. Those who are not calm have already begun to swallow their saliva, "Step forward in an orderly manner, one by one." Xiao Tang's voice said flatly.
There was a buzz, and it was clear that all the employees were not calm at this moment. They all knew that the boss was handing out money, but they all hesitated one by one, you look at me, I look at you, no one went up for a long time.
Or Chang Zheng, as the editor-in-chief, took the lead in front of Xiao Tang, and asked a little unwillingly: "Boss, is there really no chance?" ”
Xiao Tang nodded silently, he knew what Chang Zheng meant, Xiao Tang single-handedly cultivated him to stand alone, he was both grateful and respectful to Xiao Tang, although Xiao Tang was much younger than him, but Chang Zheng was still convinced by Xiao Tang. It's just that now if you want to suddenly change a boss, there will inevitably be a big gap in your heart.
Reaching out to take the envelope handed over by Xiao Tang, Chang Zheng looked a little sad and was about to turn his head, but Xiao Tang shouted, "Wait!" ”
I saw Xiao Tang take out a check from Standard Chartered Bank from his pocket and stuff it to Chang Zheng, which Xiao Tang specially prepared for him.
Chang Zheng took the check given by Xiao Tangsai and was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the amount of 500,000 yuan, he couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "Boss, this~"
"You deserve it." If Xiao Tang snatched Chang Zheng, the 500,000 yuan was prepared for Chang Zheng at Xiao Tang's own expense.
"You deserve it," a simple sentence, as if it had magic power, directly crushed Chang Zheng's tear ducts, this mature and calm newspaper editor-in-chief, his eyes were red and choked on the spot, there is nothing more touching than hard work and being recognized by the boss, not to mention that today's atmosphere is baked here.
With Chang Zheng leaving, the remaining employees also stepped forward one by one to get their share.
At the end, Xiao Tang said to everyone again, "I can take strangers to eat meat, and I won't treat my brothers who fight with me badly!" After everything was taken care of, Xiao Tang turned around and left, and the others were also asked by Xiao Tang to return to their posts and continue to complete their work. This is also his last day at the newspaper office, and he wants to stand on the last shift.
In the envelope, 10,000 or 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, Xiao Tang emptied all the funds in the company's books, of course, Xiao Tang had agreed with Da Mo and News Corp before, and all the company's book funds would be at his disposal to reward the company's employees, and the other two parties either actively or passively agreed, it can be said that Xiao Tang gave News Corp not even a grain of rice left.
Of course, Chang Zheng's 500,000 yuan is Xiao Tang's personal reward, because along the way, Chang Zheng has acted as his right and left hand, working hard and complaining, although he gave him a lot of salary, but Xiao Tang still gave him a personal bonus before leaving, which was not a bad treatment for him.
After Xiao Tang left the office area, almost everyone quickly got into work again, and the boss said that he wanted to finish the last shift, so they tried to help the boss achieve this goal.
For the employees of "Dongxing Daily", it is their luck to meet such a good boss who respects employees in their lives.
The imaginary bonuses are not so fragrant, and they are working as if venting, because everyone understands that this boss will not belong to them tomorrow. Cherish the last time you have worked with Boss Xiao, this is the voice of all the employees of "East Star Daily" at this moment.
So much so that a good guy actually printed a big "Goodbye" on the front page of today's newspaper, and a "Out of Print!" in the blank space in the upper right corner. Farewell to Xiao Tang.
However, when the newspaper was released to the market, it really caused a sensation in the Xiangjiang newspaper circle, and some people did not understand what the operation of "Dongxing Daily" meant; There are also people who think that the "Dongxing Daily" is going to close its doors and stop publication, and many readers call to ask if there is something wrong with the company and it can't continue to operate; Others wrote letters encouraging the newspaper to persevere.
It is undeniable that in the past two months, "East Star Daily" has countless fans on Hong Kong Island, but only the employees of "East Star Daily" can know.
"The Xiao Tang era is over!"
