Rebirth: The Era of Hong Kong Tycoon

Chapter 24 [Create a genre of fiction]

May 5, Hyundai Newspaper.

After a week of renovation, all aspects of the modern newspaper office have been completely renewed, the most obvious being the mental outlook of the staff;
After all, after injecting 30 Hong Kong dollars of funds, everyone has ignited hope.

An Qi, Minister of Personnel, came to Lin Rongheng's office first and reported the situation.

Lin Rongheng asked, "Have the personnel files of each employee been established?"

An Qi replied: "Well, everything has been established. New employees will be added to the company's personnel files immediately. Moreover, we have also established a complete staff evaluation system, which is mainly based on department heads. The evaluation content is currently divided into performance and ability”

I have to say, An Qi's ability is very good!
The employee evaluation system was proposed by Lin Rongheng, and he also informed An Qi and the heads of various departments of his thoughts; however, Lin Rongheng only mentioned some general policies, and the specifics had to be improved by the subordinates.

Lin Rongheng said with satisfaction: "Well, how are your two subordinates? Did you not give you face? Can I help you?"

Lin Rongheng was worried that An Qi was too young and a girl, and the original staff of the newspaper would lose face and deliberately run her;

An Qi is his own person. If you don't give An Qi's face, you just want to give the new boss a slap in the face. This is something Lin Rongheng will never tolerate.

An Qi said with a smile: "The abilities are good, and they can carry out the tasks I arranged! Boss, don't worry, the whole company is waiting for you to turn things around, no one dares to say 'no' to you. ."

Obviously, An Qi knew what Lin Rongheng was worried about, so she persuaded him.

Lin Rongheng looked at An Qi, and when she blushed, he slowly said, "Society is very simple, and people are complicated—you have to remember this sentence."

An Qi whispered: "Old trickster!"

Lin Rongheng pretended not to hear, that is, the relationship between the two was ambiguous, otherwise who would dare to say such a thing to his boss.

"Walk on both sides, okay? Would you like to hand over the affairs of Evergrande Real Estate to someone else?" Lin Rongheng said with concern. An Qi is strictly Lin Rongheng's assistant, and also has some errands in Evergrande Real Estate.

An Qi said quickly: "No, I can do it! Didn't you say that I would let go when this side is on the right track?"

Lin Rongheng said with a smile, "Yes! Don't worry, I won't forget it!"

An Qi left with satisfaction, and Lin Rongheng asked her to call Zhang Jiancheng, the editorial director, to his office.

After Zhang Jiancheng came in, Lin Rongheng took out a few pieces of paper and handed it to him, and said, "This is the outline of a novel. I need you to find someone to write it and serialize it in our newspaper."

Zhang Jiancheng is a little confused, the outline of the novel?Does the boss still write novels?
After taking over the manuscript, Zhang Jiancheng wanted to watch it immediately, and Lin Rongheng said, "Sit down and read it, and you can also express your opinion!"

Hearing this, Zhang Jiancheng sat on the sofa and read the manuscript.

"Ghost Blowing Lamp actually wrote about tomb robbing, which is a bit taboo!" Zhang Jiancheng expressed his opinion while reading the manuscript.

"The more you violate the taboo, the more you will attract people's desire to read!" Lin Rongheng said calmly after drinking a sip of tea.

Zhang Jiancheng did not refute, this is just writing a novel, not a real tomb robbing;

Next, Zhang Jiancheng watched with relish, as if a new world door had been opened;

This is what Lin Rongheng wants. If he wants to stand out from the 'Jin Yong Era', he has to take an unusual path; even if Lin Rongheng came up with the outline of "Looking for Qin Ji", he definitely did not have the effect of "Notes on Tomb Raiders" and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". it is good.

If "Notes on Tomb Raiders" and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" were published by Modern Daily, it would undoubtedly open a new genre of novels, and may even set off a 'grave robbery' in Xiangjiang.

Hong Kong people are very superstitious, and this kind of subject matter will naturally be very popular. Otherwise, why are the uncle Ying series movies and Happy Ghost series so popular!

About half an hour later, Zhang Jiancheng raised his head and asked incredulously, "Boss, there really is a sect of tomb robbers - touching gold, moving mountains, making hills, and unloading mountains, are they still so formal?"

Lin Rongheng said with a smile: "These are all well-documented, but the information is all in the mainland, and the people of Xiangjiang have never had contact with them. One of the more obvious evidences is that during the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao had an army specializing in this industry, called Touching Gold. Colonel. Specially smash people's tombs, steal the valuables from the tombs, and use them as military expenses for Cao Cao's army."

Zhang Jiancheng sighed: "The boss is really knowledgeable and talented, with so many whimsical ideas and unrestrained ideas. Looking for the dragon to divide the gold and looking at the mountain, one level of entanglement is a level of hurdles; It's fascinating."

Lin Rongheng said: "This is not my idea. When I was an educated youth in Bao'an County, someone specially told me these stories, and then I put together this outline. By the way, you have to remember to find a good writer, I have to have someone with an idea to ghostwrite, I don't want to waste such a good outline."

In fact, Lin Rongheng was too worried. Those who wrote novels in Xiangjiang were all good at writing and mastered Xiaohuangshu.

Zhang Jiancheng waved the manuscript in his hand and said, "This is natural. If this topic becomes popular, maybe it will be able to compete with Ming Pao."

Lin Rongheng shook his head and said, "Remember, serialized novels are always just trails. If you want to run a newspaper well, you have to rely on what I said about breaking news, short and concise, strong news gathering and editing team, and concise and clear layout. We are dealing with ordinary citizens of Hong Kong. We are not targeting intellectuals like Ming Pao, nor financial and business people like Sing Tao Daily. Our goal is ordinary citizens, whose numbers far exceed those in front of us. two groups."

Zhang Jiancheng nodded seriously and said sincerely: "The boss is right. When our "Modern Daily" comes out, it will definitely give people in Hong Kong a bright feeling."

If a newspaper wants to continue to sell well, the most important thing is not serialized novels or financial reviews, but current affairs news; everyone will catch current affairs news, but it depends on who catches it better, faster, and more explosive.

In Lin Rongheng's view, the reason why Murdoch can become a media tycoon is inseparable from the three words 'explosive'. Although Murdoch has also received a lot of criticism for this, he has to admit that the more news that can arouse public opinion, the more readers are attracted to it. 's favorite.

At the beginning, the reason why Lin Rongheng agreed with Huang Renqi to keep 20% of the shares was because of his own idea, that is, when the time was right, let Huang Renqi serve as the chairman of the board of directors of the modern newspaper, and he only needed to be the controller and major shareholder behind it.

Anyway, Huang Renqi needs fame, I believe he will not refuse!
And Lin Rongheng can regard him as a puppet. If he makes him unhappy, he can immediately oust him; if there is any bad influence, the chairman of the board of directors will take over, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Of course, now is far from the time!
Today, "Modern Daily" is equivalent to running a new newspaper. Because the original "Chao News News" has been suspended, it is completely impossible to rely on the loyal customers of "Chao News News".

The first issue of "Modern Daily" is expected to be released on June [-]. After all, the news gathering and editing team will be expanded before it is ready.
