Media Tycoon since 1999

Chapter 1 Return to 1999, Beijing drifts to Beijing

In the golden autumn and October, the Qinling Mountains are full of dyed forests, and the mountains are full of prosperity.

In the valley, a train passed by.

Today is October 1999, 10, Sunday.

This is the T8 train from Shudu to Beijing.

In the hard sleeper compartment, Gao Yang sat in front of the window, looking at the autumn scenery, filled with emotion for a moment.

Gao Yang was reborn in 1999, one month ago.

After thinking about it for more than half a month, Gao Yang still decided to go north to the capital like he did in his previous life, and change jobs to an IT weekly newspaper called "IT Dealer".

After the [-]th Golden Week, he successively resigned from his jobs as a civil servant in the town government and as a newspaper editor.

Five years ago, Gaoyang graduated from technical secondary school and was assigned to work in the town government of his hometown. After three years of self-examination, he obtained a college diploma.

Gao Yang has worked in this newspaper for more than two years, with outstanding professional ability and excellent work performance, he was promoted to be the responsible editor.

He is the only editor among the young reporters of the newspaper.

Even so, Gao Yang is only a non-staff recruiter in the newspaper office.

Gao Yang has a staff of civil servants, and the newspaper office refused to accept him, so he couldn't mobilize his work relationship.

The newspaper office has seven No. 80 employees, and only 13 people are in the editorial office, all drawn from Jinyang Daily.

These people, under the so-called market-oriented operation mechanism, have a monthly salary of [-] to [-] yuan, a year-end bonus of [-] to [-] yuan, and a starting income of [-] to [-] yuan a year.

As for Gao Yang, the September salary he just received a few days ago was only 9 yuan.

When the Spring Festival comes, the newspaper office will give out a so-called year-end bonus of about 1000 yuan.

Reborn at the age of 25, Gao Yang doesn't want to go back to work in the town government, let alone stay in a small third-tier city like Jinyang.

Just like in the previous life, he jumped to the capital and walked the road of IT reporter again.

After going to the capital, Gao Yang's income will soon be tens of thousands, which is ten times more than that of working in Jinyang Metropolis Daily.

Such a choice boils down to one word:

money!
People are poor and short-sighted, have no money, and all good wishes are daydreams.

After rebirth, Gao Yang also felt that the time was running out.

If everything remains the same, Gao Yingxue, the father who spent his whole life planing and eating in the fields of his hometown, will become ill from overwork and die of cancer in 8 years, at the age of 64.

In the previous life, Gao Yang suffered from lack of vision. He worked in the media for half his life, but in middle age, he ended up in poverty, with his wife and children separated.

The biggest wish in this life is naturally to make up for these regrets, and enjoy a sense of accomplishment by the way...

At noon on October 10, after a 18-hour journey, the train arrived at Jingxi Railway Station on time.

Gao Yang dragged his suitcase and just walked out of the West Railway Station, when he saw Wu Bo smiling and waving in front of him.

Wu Bo is 38 years old this year. He used to be the deputy editor-in-chief of Jinyang Daily. At the beginning of Jinyang Metropolis Daily, Wu Bo was transferred to the new newspaper and spent a year with Gao Yang's colleagues.

At the beginning of this year, Wu Bo jumped ship to Beijing to serve as the general manager and editor-in-chief of the national edition project of "IT Dealer".

Wu Bo has always admired Gao Yang.Wu Bo introduced Gao Yang to work in this IT media in Beijing.

There are two young people beside Wu Bo.

One person was about the same size as Wu Bo, about 172 centimeters. Gao Yang knew that this was Wan Hong, the chief reporter of the newspaper, from Yunnan Province.

The other person is about the same height as Gao Yang. This is Zhang Tao, a native of Harbin City in Northeast China, and he is currently the assistant to the editor-in-chief.

Gao Yang also knew that Wan Hong and Zhang Tao rented a small second house together, and Wu Bo would arrange for him to live with the two temporarily for a period of time.

Wu Bo introduced Zhang Tao and Wan Hong to Gao Yang, and Gao Yang smiled and shook hands with the two [familiar] colleagues.

Four people hailed a taxi.Jetta, the starting price is 10 yuan, including 3 kilometers.

In this era of Beijing, taxis are quite cheap.

After getting in the car, Wu Bo greeted him: "Master, cross the Baishi Bridge and go to the cadre resting place in front of the Meteorological Bureau..."

"Gao Yang, you are here. Teacher Wu has been talking about you, saying that you are a good writer and good at writing articles." Zhang Tao is very warm to others and has a forthright personality.

Gao Yang smiled slightly and said modestly: "I'm fairly familiar with mass media, but I don't know anything about IT. Please advise me in the future."

"Gao Yang, IT is not as complicated as you imagined. Our CPI is positioned on IT channels and marketing, and there are not many reports on IT technology." Wan Hong answered the call, speaking Mandarin with a strong accent.

Gao Yang knows that CPI is the English abbreviation of "IT Dealer", an IT weekly newspaper, and its full English name is [Computer Partner Information], roughly meaning "computer partner".

In the circle of IT channels, dealers are a vague concept. The channel systems of major brand manufacturers are very different, and the word dealers cannot be summed up in one word.

In this era, IT products represented by PCs have found it difficult to maintain huge profits. The market has rapidly evolved from a blue ocean to a red ocean, and brand manufacturers have also begun to promote the concept of partnership for win-win cooperation.

In the previous life, Gao Yang had worked in this industry for 10 years, and he could be regarded as a channel expert in the IT media circle.

Although the streets of the capital in this era are full of traffic, they are not very congested.

After more than 20 minutes, the taxi had just passed the first body, and Wu Bo pointed to the side of the road and introduced:
"Gao Yang, the office is just ahead, there is a comprehensive market here, you can come here in the afternoon to buy some daily necessities."

A few minutes later, Wu Bo called the taxi to stop in front of a small restaurant near the cadre rest center, and got out of the car to eat first.

Wu Bo ordered a roast duck, served with several dishes, and opened two bottles of beer.

Just such a simple meal cost more than 160 yuan, and Zhang Tao rushed to pay the bill.

In Gao Yang's memory, when colleagues eat together, as long as there is Zhang Tao, he will rush to pay the bill.

After eating, the four of them went into the cadre rest house together, and took the elevator straight up to the 5th floor.

The elevator entrance is the CPI front desk, and half of this floor is rented by CPI.

CPI is an IT business media group headquartered in Shudu, which is regarded as the capital branch of CPI.

Zhang Tao put Gao Yang's suitcase in the work area, and then introduced to Gao Yang:

"CPI Group has four projects in the capital, namely the national version, home computer, game newspaper and research company CPI Research, with a total of more than 100 people. Our project is the national version, and it is also the largest project of the group..."

Zhang Tao enthusiastically introduced, Gao Yang smiled and nodded, pretending to be ignorant.

After returning to the office, Wan Hong was busy with his own affairs. Whenever this guy had time, he would watch the computer and type away.

At this time, there was no one in the national version of the work area except for a few of them.

Zhang Tao asked Gao Yang to find out the application materials, and helped him copy the college diploma and ID card, together with his resume, and handed them to Wu Bo.

Wu Bo collected Gao Yang's application materials and prepared to hand them over to HR for Gao Yang's entry procedures after going to work in the afternoon.

　Mengxin has opened a new article, it is still in the direction of the media, a new start, a new start, begging for collection and recommendation!
