Media Tycoon since 1999

Chapter 59 Interview: What the hell is this?
On March 3, a new week began, and Gao Yang also entered the daily life of executive editor.

During this period of time, there is a shortage of reporters, and everyone is busy. After the beginning of the new year, IT companies are also making efforts to publicize. There are not many advertisements, but there are many press conferences and interviews.

Today's newspaper also published a recruitment notice for journalists, under the age of 35, starting with a college diploma, computer majors and IT media experience are preferred...

It's just that Gao Yang knew that such a recruitment notice was useless.

Only by luck can you meet a newcomer who has experience in the industry or has potential for training.

For example, Dou Yong and Chen Ning, who have already switched jobs, both graduated from colleges or undergraduates majoring in computer science.

But others who have worked in CPI for a year or so can still successfully change jobs, and some IT media are rushing to ask for it.

Gao Yang had already discussed with Wan Hong that if someone came to apply for the job, the interview time would be on Friday afternoon, because he was really busy and didn't have time.

Friday is the time for printing, and in the afternoon, Gao Yang can only stay in the office.

In the past few days, the trend of stocks has not been good, the market index is fluctuating, and Zhongtian Real Estate, which has a full position in Gaoyang, has also dropped from the highest level of 25 yuan to around 21 yuan.

The market value of Gao Yang's positions has withdrawn by nearly 10.

Gao Yang also knew that he had no ability to grasp such short-term fluctuations, so he could only hold positions.

It's Friday, March 3th.

In the morning, Gao Yang ran for a meeting, and when he came back at noon, he went to the bank to check his February salary.

The salary in February was really low, a total of more than 2 yuan, including the basic salary of 5200 yuan for senior reporters.

Gao Yang's executive editor's salary will be calculated from March.

Fortunately, there will be many meetings this week, and there will be press conferences or interviews every day, sometimes three meetings a day.

This week, plus the interview with [Channel Academy], and the new cover report for Zhao Xinrong's website magazine, Gao Yang has more than 5000 yuan in his wallet.

Gao Yang took all the money from the salary card, returned to the office, and handed in 4 press conferences, a total of 600 yuan for transportation.

Now that I am the executive editor-in-chief, I have to lead by example, and naturally I have to pay more for transportation.

Fortunately, Fang Jian has completed the resignation procedures, bought a train ticket for Saturday, and can arrive in Beijing on Sunday.

When Fang Jian came, Gao Yang could still recover the rent of more than 3000 yuan he had paid in advance.

Next Monday, I can deposit some money into the stock account again. Zhongtian Real Estate has adjusted and just increased its position.

At 01:30 noon on Friday, Wan Hong and Gao Yang sat in the reception room and officially started the interview for journalists.

The recruitment notice was published on Monday, and as of today, only six or seven people have applied for the job.

Wan Hong is also very busy these days. After the beginning of spring, this is the off-season for advertising. In order to help the advertising department run orders, Wan Hong has been going out to visit customers almost every day this week.

The first one interviewed, according to the data, female, 23 years old, graduated from college, worked as a text reporter for a year in the travel column of a local TV station.

Gao Yang left the opportunity to ask questions in the interview to Wan Hong.

Wan Hong asked some general knowledge about IT companies, but this girl didn't understand, she was just a noob.

Asking which IT media there are, and which IT media I have seen, I don’t understand. I only read CPI, because I heard from friends that this is a reporter.

Wan Hong asked the girl to take a look at the reports she had made on the TV station.

Gao Yang also read two articles, and couldn't help but want to laugh.

Is this even news?

Is this prose good or not, and it is still at the level of composition for junior high school students.

Next, the second person interviewed was a man who was 28 years old according to the information.

Gao Yang took the information and looked at it. Good guy, he majored in computer science from Beijing University.

Then I picked up the copy of the diploma and looked at it. It's strange, Beijing University majored in computer science, and there is also a specialist?
Gao Yang handed the copy to Wan Hong.

Wan Hong looked at this person with a smile: "Hu Yunlai, are you really a graduate of Beijing University majoring in computer science?"

Hu Yunlai nodded: "Yes, if you don't believe me, you can check."

Wan Hong asked again: "Then have you brought the original copy of your education?"

"Bring it." Hu Yunlai took out the original diploma again.

Wan Hong took a look and asked, "Then do you know any IT companies?"

Hu Yunlai proudly said: "I know, foreign companies include IBM, Microsoft, Intel, HP, COMPAQ, DELL... Domestic companies include Lenovo, Founder, Tongfang..."

Wan Hong and Gao Yang looked at each other, and asked again: "Then do you know what these IT companies are and what products they have?"

Hu Yunlai said: "These IT companies all make computers."

The corner of Wan Hong's mouth twitched: "What kind of computer do you make?"

Hu Yunlai: "Monitor, computer, mouse, and keyboard."

Gao Yang interjected: "Then do you know what's inside the main computer?"

"Inside the host..."

Hu Yunlai scratched his head, a little panicked: "There is... a processor!"

Wan Hong lost interest: "As far as I know, Peking University doesn't have a computer major."

Hu Yunlai blushed: "I am a correspondence major of Peking University."

Mud girl, this is a parallel importer, maybe even a liar, and even writes poetry, it doesn't make any sense.

Wan Hong glanced at Gao Yang again, Gao Yang smiled and said, "Okay, that's it."

Hu Yunlai said nervously, "Excuse me, have I passed?"

The corner of Wan Hong's mouth twitched again: "If it passes, we will notify you by phone."

Hu Yunlai left in dismay.

Half an hour later, the sixth person finished the interview and retreated blushing.

Wan Hong couldn't help sighing: "Oh, what are they all about?"

Gao Yang smiled and said, "Isn't this normal?"

The seventh interviewer came in, male, 22 years old, from Shonan Teachers College...

Wan Hong looked at the information and asked, "Xu Feng, you are a senior this year and haven't graduated yet?"

Xu Feng looked like a student, a little shy: "Yes, but there are no exams this semester, and I am waiting to get my graduation certificate. These are my subject exam results."

Wan Hong took a look, and asked again: "The Teachers College also has a communication engineering major?"

Xu Fengdao: "It's like this. I originally went to Yueyang University. In March last year, the three schools merged and became Shonan Teachers College."

Gao Yang interjected: "Xu Feng, we are IT media, do you know any IT companies?"

Xu Feng thought about it: "There are Microsoft, Intel, IBM, HP, COMPAQ, DELL, Cisco, Oracle... Well, there are Lenovo, Founder, Tongfang and so on in China."

Gao Yang asked again: "Do you know what Oracle does?"

Xu Feng thought about it: "Let's be a database."

Wan Hong's face showed joy: "Then do you know what a database is?"

Xu Feng shook his head: "This... I don't know."

Gao Yang then asked: "Do you know what product lines IBM has?"

Xu Feng thought about it: "There are PCs, laptops, servers...well, there are software."

Wan Hong was quite satisfied that a senior could understand this common sense, and then asked, "Xu Feng, can you assemble a computer?"

Xu Feng's face flushed slightly: "I learned how to dress up with my classmates twice, and I'm not very good at it, um...installing the operating system, I really don't know how to do this."

Gao Yang asked again: "Have you published your works in newspapers?"

Xu Feng's face turned red again: "I have submitted several drafts to our school newspaper."

Xu Feng then took out several school newspapers, with a few small manuscripts circled on them.

Gao Yang looked at it and handed it to Wan Hong: "The writing style is not bad."

Wan Hong looked at it carefully and looked at Gao Yang, Gao Yang nodded.

Wan Hong smiled and said, "Xu Feng, the interview is over here, you go back and wait for the notice."

Xu Feng thanked repeatedly and left.

Wan Hong said: "This Xu Feng, I think it's okay, but I don't know when I can really get started."

Gao Yang said with a smile: "I feel that he is still a bit spiritual. It is estimated that after three months, after the probationary period is over, it is still no problem to write ordinary manuscripts."

Wan Hong sighed: "That's the only way to go."

Gao Yang said: "Fang Jian will report for duty next Monday. Fang Jian should get started very quickly. Wan Hong, if it really doesn't work, we should consider calling three reporters from the regional reporter and the local edition. We will publish it again. Two recruitment notices, try to recruit one."

Wan Hong said: "It's not easy to recruit reporters from the local editions, how about this, I'll talk to Mr. Nan and Mr. Ren..."
