Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2381 Let me recommend?

Rhineboom followed Lin Daoqiu into his office, and stood there obediently after Lin Daoqiu sat down.

"What are you doing in a daze, sit down."

Lin Daoqiu pointed to the chair opposite him, and then Rhinebaum respectfully went to the chair and sat down.

It's not that Lin Daoqiu has never seen this kind of person who behaved so cautiously in front of him, but Rhinebaum is the editor-in-chief of "Reader Times", and this position does not require a person with his personality.

What Lin Daoqiu wanted was a person with strength and independent thinking ability, who could arrange all the affairs of "Reader Times" properly, without the kind of elite management that he had to worry about.

Although Rhinebaum has worked hard in the North American newspaper industry for many years, he is not the kind of capable manager Lin Daoqiu wanted.

If the Reader's Times was only a medium-sized newspaper, it would not be a big problem to use Rheinbaum as the editor-in-chief.

However, Lin Daoqiu's goal in founding "Reader's Times" is to make this newspaper one of the three major media companies in North America in a short period of time, and Rheinbaum does not look like the captain who is capable of steering this big ship.

Originally, Lin Daoqiu planned to change the editor-in-chief slowly, but now it seems that this matter should be done sooner rather than later.

Although I feel a little sorry for Rheinbaum, in such a highly competitive society in North America, the criterion for appointing management is that ability is king, and the belief here is that the capable will rise and the mediocre will fall.

"You have worked hard during this period. Although Readers Times is still in its early stages of establishment, you have arranged many things in an orderly manner. I am very satisfied with this."

Lin Daoqiu's opening remarks made Rhinebaum a little terrified, because this was already moving in the direction he least expected.

However, Rhinebaum still had a little bit of extravagant hope. He felt that even if he wanted to get down from this seat, he probably wouldn't be so fast, right?

"You praise too much, I just do my job well."

Rhinebaum shook his head modestly.

"However, Rhine, you should be very clear. My position for "Reader Times" is to make this newspaper one of the three major newspapers in North America. If this goal is to be achieved, the best talents are needed to manage it. home newspaper."

If Rhinebaum was just guessing before, then Lin Daoqiu's words have made it very clear that you are a good person, but you are not the best talent.

The thing that had been worrying about finally happened, but Rhinebaum suddenly felt a little more relaxed in addition to being sad.

"In fact, I can say that I am very satisfied to have the opportunity to run Reader Times for a few months. I never thought I would have such an opportunity at first."

I don't know if it's because Lin Daoqiu has completely opened up his words, but Rhinebaum's mood is much more relaxed than before, at least not as tense as before.

"I already understand what you mean very well. I will submit my resignation to you after I have arranged the matters at hand."

Rheinbaum is not the kind of person who hangs on. He has already received the compensation from Lin Daoqiu after the acquisition of the previous newspaper.

Including the salary in recent months and the reward after resignation, although Rheinbaum dare not say that he can get rich overnight, the sum of the money is enough for him to save 20 years of struggle.

"Actually, I never thought of kicking you out of Reader Times. The editorial department also needs experienced people to take care of it. If you are interested, I hope you can stay and serve as the editorial director."

Rheinbaum is not without ability, but his ability is not enough to make him the editor-in-chief of "Reader Times".

But if it is only the position of editorial director, then Lin Daoqiu believes that with Rhinebaum's ability, he can still be competent, depending on whether he is willing to accept this position.

From the editor-in-chief to the director of the editorial department, most people may not be able to accept such a gap. If Rhinebaum is unwilling, Lin Daoqiu will not force him, after all, it is a bit difficult.

After listening to Lin Daoqiu's words, Rhinebaum looked a bit tangled, as if he was seriously weighing the proposal from Lin Daoqiu.

"The future of "Readers Times" is bright. Staying here as the director of the editorial department is definitely more promising and influential than being the editor-in-chief of some newspapers outside..."

"Of course, these all depend on your own decision. I will not force you to make any decision that goes against your ideas."

Rhinebaum nodded slightly, and then he spoke.

"Thank you Mr. Lin, but I still can't make up my mind for a while, please let me think about it for a few days."

Lin Daoqiu nodded and agreed to Rhinebaum's request. After all, this is not something to be in a hurry.

"You have plenty of time to think about it."

After chatting with Lin Daoqiu, Rhinebaum was about to go back to his office to work, but just as he was about to get up, Lin Daoqiu suddenly asked him a question.

"If you were asked to recommend someone to succeed you, who would you recommend?"

"You want me to recommend a new editor-in-chief?"

Rhinebaum did not expect Lin Daoqiu to ask for his own opinion on this issue.

But now his mind is in a mess and he can't think of a suitable candidate, or in other words, among those people he has contacted before, he really can't think of anyone who can take this seat.

And at this moment, Rhinebaum suddenly thought of a person, if it was him, he might be qualified to take over the editor-in-chief of "Reader Times".

"Have you ever heard of Time Magazine?"

When Rhineboom asked, Lin Daoqiu immediately thought of that person, but this was just his guess, and he was not sure whether Rhineboum really wanted to recommend the person he was thinking of.

So Lin Daoqiu replied.

"Of course I know, I was interviewed by them before."

Rhinebaum said immediately.

"The editor-in-chief of "Time" is named Kleidberg. He has a great reputation in the industry. If he can be invited, then I think it should be a good choice."

Lin Daoqiu didn't give any answer after listening to Rhinebaum's recommendation. It seemed as if he was just asking for advice from the other party.

After Rhineboom left, Lin Daoqiu began to seriously consider this issue.

If Kleidberg is poached from Time magazine, it shouldn't be a big problem for Lin Daoqiu.

And judging from the previous contact with Kleidberg, this person is indeed a very capable person.

The more Lin Daoqiu thought about it, the more he felt that Kleidberger seemed to be a good choice, so he planned to ask the other party out for a chat, to test what Kleidberger meant.
