A layman in the courtyard

Chapter 175 Preparing for the Annual Meeting
"Zhihua, I just thought about it and you are right in many aspects.
For example, I don’t think it’s necessary to do news. To do news, you have to take a stand. Like today’s newspapers, both sides are attacking each other fiercely. There is no need to put ourselves on the fire.
As for the person who proposed this idea, I will also focus on observing whether it is unintentional or intentional.

As for relying entirely on my own team to produce content and provide a platform to create programs that the audience likes, I have to continue to hold meetings to study this aspect to see if or how to do it.

As for your proposal just now to purchase the copyright of the novel and make a studio film to be broadcast on TV stations, I think it is feasible, and I will let people implement it. "

Cao Zhihua saw that Lou Bancheng had been thinking about it for a long time and only accepted the suggestion of adapting his novel into a TV series. As for other suggestions, Lou Bancheng said that he would hold a meeting to study it, so Cao Zhihua just listened.

Anyway, he owns the office building and the TV station license. Lou Bancheng can do whatever he wants.

After the 70s, or when Lou Bancheng can no longer play, and TV hardware becomes more advanced, it will not be too late for him to take over and play, but now he is really not interested.So Cao Zhihua stopped refuting Lou Bancheng and said:
"Okay, dad, you run the TV station anyway, you can do it according to your own ideas. I'm just giving some advice, and it may not be right, haha."

Lou Bancheng saw that his son-in-law had no objection, his face looked much better, and he said with a smile:

"Zhihua, your business acumen is so good. For example, if you adapt this novel into a long drama, I think it's very good."

"Well, Dad, since you want to make a long-running drama, you have to train your own actors. After all, it's better to train actors yourself than to spend money helping others train actors. That means opening an actor training class. Once you pass the test, you can sign Come down and participate in your feature film, how great it would be."

Lou Bancheng was very moved when he heard this and said:

"We can give it a try, open a training class, and let the veteran actors from the current film company teach them. If there are suitable people, we can train them. If there are no suitable people, it doesn't matter. The investment is not big, which is good.

I will make arrangements after the TV station is operational. "

"That's the best. When you train a group of handsome boys and girls, they might become big stars in your company and help the company to make money. By the way, dad, where are the two brothers? Why didn't you see them today? ?”

"I have arranged for the two of them to go to the newspaper office and the radio station for training. Each of them is in charge of a company. They have been with me for a long time. They are like mules or horses. They can be pulled out and run around."

Cao Zhihua actually doesn't think highly of his two uncles.

These two people may not have been with Lou Bancheng since they were young, so they don't have enough experience, don't have a big picture in mind, and don't have enough ability. They care about some small things, have too many small calculations in their minds, and can't see the overall situation.

Cao Zhihua had already made plans to help these two brothers and make them rich in the future, but Cao Zhihua would not say it out loud, and said against his will:
"The abilities of my two brothers can definitely help dad a lot, but I suggest that the radio company should also start the record business together.

Dad, I think you can recruit more talents in the music creation industry, write more songs, and release more records. This is a profitable business. "

Lou Bancheng hesitated and said:

"Gramophones are so expensive now and few people buy records. Do you really think you can make money?"

Cao Zhihua must have said:

"Dad, I'm sure we can make money. You may not pay attention to technology. Now Europe and the United States are vigorously developing tape recorders. This product is also available in Hong Kong. It's just not popular yet. It's just waiting for an opportunity to explode.

Making music now, with the popularity of tape recorders, can be a very profitable business. "

After hearing what Cao Zhihua said, Lou Bancheng obviously paid more attention to the tape recorder business and asked directly:
"Zhihua, you just said that European and American countries are now vigorously developing tape recorders. Do you think I can do this business if I open a tape recorder factory on Hong Kong Island?"

Cao Zhihua looked at Lou Bancheng in surprise. It seemed that Lou Bancheng still had a soft spot for industry. Instead of doing good media work, he still wanted to make a tape recorder.

"Dad, this business can definitely be done, and if you sell tape recorders throughout Southeast Asia, you can definitely make a lot of money.

However, since the beautiful country developed computers, technology has been updated at a very fast pace. Once your technology cannot keep up with the changes in the market, the risk will be great. "

When Lou Bancheng heard Cao Zhihua say that this business was profitable, he was instantly moved. As an older generation businessman, Lou Bancheng actually didn't like media, a pragmatic industry, and preferred to engage in industry.

As for the rapid technological update, what does it matter? Once the technology is updated, just spend money to update the technology yourself, so he couldn’t wait to say:

"Zhihua, I'm making arrangements in the past few days. I plan to go to Europe and the beautiful country to investigate and see how the tape recorder market is, and then decide whether to set up a tape recorder factory on Hong Kong Island."

Cao Zhihua didn't have much objection to Lou Bancheng's decision to open a tape recorder factory. After all, it was only the end of 1961. Opening a tape recorder factory could indeed make a lot of money. However, Lou Bancheng went to Europe and the United States to inspect and found that he could operate it himself, so he said:

"Okay, Dad, if you decide which day to go on an inspection, you must tell me in advance and I will arrange some personal bodyguards to protect you.

My security company has guns for taking photos in Hong Kong, which are basically universal in Western countries.

This makes me feel at ease, and I suggest you contact some foreign companies about what you want to inspect. After all, in European and American countries, they have greater energy and can solve a lot of troubles for you. "

"Okay, let's arrange it this way. I'll let you know when I've arranged the time."

"Okay, dad, I've taken up a lot of your time today, so Ezi and I will leave first."

"Okay, you go first."

The black Rolls-Royce bulletproof car was driving on the way to North Point Industrial Park. Lou Xiao'e in the back seat suddenly asked:
"Zhihua, you and Dad were talking just now. I feel like you are not too optimistic about Dad's TV station's operation plan, right?"

Cao Zhihua was sitting in his car, with his wife and secretary next to him. He felt completely relaxed. When Lou Xiao'e asked questions, he said indifferently:

“I just feel that my father has been deceived by some people in Hong Kong’s cultural industry.

He is completely spending his own money to help others cultivate talents by operating like this. When the time comes, all the celebrities on the TV station will be from other companies. How will his company make money?Therefore, it is recommended that he cultivate more stars and directors of his own and not make wedding clothes for others. "

When Lou Xiao'e heard Cao Zhihua say that her father might have been deceived, she felt anxious and said:

"Zhihua, why don't you tell dad clearly? You said it so vaguely, I feel like it didn't attract dad's attention."

Cao Zhihua said helplessly to Lou Xiao'e:

"How can I explain clearly? This is just a feeling I have. There is no evidence to prove it. Besides, Dad has been working hard in the business world for decades.

I was not even born when his old man was extremely wealthy. You don’t think that I, a junior, can really give advice to my father, do you?

So what do I think of dad?Moreover, our family is developing so well now, and we have everything in place.
You're not afraid of any problems happening to your dad's company, right? "Of course Lou Xiao'e's family is very rich. After listening to Cao Zhihua's words, she nodded with great approval and said:
"Zhihua, what you said makes sense. The most dad can do is spend some money to buy experience. With us at the bottom, we really have nothing to fear."

Cao Zhihua took Lou Xiao'e over and touched Lou Xiao'e's head.

Looking at his childhood sweetheart, I feel that my greatest happiness in this life is to find her as my wife. She trusts me, is lenient, supports me unconditionally, and puts her whole heart into me. She is indeed my best match.

In the warm atmosphere inside the car, the car soon arrived at the North Point Work Park.

Cao Zhihua took everyone out of the car and looked around. Looking at his 120 million square meter industrial park that was gradually taking shape, he felt infinite pride in his heart.

When he came to the office, Cao Zhihua asked Lou Xiao'e to sit on the sofa and said to Du Xinru:
"Xinru, go and ask Mr. Li Sheng, Mr. Xie Wenjun, Mr. Zhang Guohua, Minister of Finance Cao Xiaoyu, Minister of Personnel Department Zhou Dongfa, and Minister of Media and Publicity Department Li Xudong to come to my office and have a meeting."

Du Xinru was still very afraid of Lou Xiao'e, the official in the palace. After hearing Cao Zhihua's instructions, she didn't dare to say anything more and directly replied:

"Okay, Chairman, I'll notify you right away."

When Lou Xiao'e saw Du Xinru going out, she asked curiously:
"Zhihua, why do you suddenly think of a meeting?"

Cao Zhihua sat on his desk and sofa, took a sip of tea and replied:
"The Chinese New Year has always been a big day for us Chinese people. Last year, our company was too busy during the New Year, so we didn't have anything to do either at home or at work. It will definitely not be possible this year, so we held a meeting to study how to organize our company's annual meeting."

After Lou Xiao'e knew the content of the meeting, she didn't have much reaction. Anyway, Lou Xiao'e supported Cao Zhihua unconditionally as long as it was business.

After a while, after the notification people arrived one after another, Cao Zhihua got straight to the point and said:

“Unconsciously, another year has passed quickly. This year is a year of struggle for our company, a year of development and growth for our company, and a year of fruitful and bumper harvest for our company.

Our company was just established last year. During the Chinese New Year, the company happened to be very busy and we didn’t have time to hold an annual party to celebrate.
This year we will definitely hold a large-scale annual meeting to thank all employees of our company for their hard work throughout the year and to commend the outstanding employees that have emerged in our company.

Mr. Li, would you like to start first and see how we should conduct this annual meeting? "

When Li Shengnan heard Cao Zhihua's roll call, he was already prepared. After all, he always spoke first, so he said:
"Director Cao, should the annual meeting include all the marketing specialists and market inspection team members of the Global Channel Department?"

Cao Zhihua said affirmatively:

"Of course, all employees of the company must be notified to participate."

After Li Shengnan felt confident, he said:
"Director Cao, since we want everyone in the company to participate, we must first solve the venue problem. Our company now has more than 8 employees.
As for the more suitable venue now, I personally prefer to build an annual meeting reporting venue in the open space of the fourth and fifth phases of our industrial park that have not yet started construction. "

Cao Zhihua nodded and motioned for Li Shengnan to continue,

"After the venue is settled, it's time to select outstanding employees, reward outstanding employees, rehearse and arrange the annual meeting program, and standardize and distribute rewards to outstanding employees. I wonder if the chairman has any standards?"

Cao Zhihua did not answer Li Shengnan's words, but asked Minister Li Xudong of the Media and Propaganda Department:
"Since we are holding an annual meeting, I would like to ask professionals about professional matters. Minister Li, please tell me, how should we conduct this annual meeting more appropriately?"

Li Xudong held his golden-rimmed eyes and said clearly:
"Dear Chairman, General Manager Li, I personally feel that since it is an annual meeting, it must take a long time.
So we first need to set up an annual meeting preparatory group,

There must be a time for leaders to speak, a time for awarding outstanding employees, a lottery time for interacting with employees at the annual meeting, and a time to prepare a number of programs.

The program of the annual meeting can be based on the standards of each department or production workshop. Each department arranges a program for preliminary selection. The program type is not limited, it can be singing, dancing, stage play, drama, any program can be used.

The annual meeting preparatory team will then select relatively outstanding programs and enter them into the annual meeting arrangements.

The second is the leader's speech. It is best to prepare the speech in advance, and then the annual meeting preparation team will make arrangements according to the speech time.

Then there is the interaction with employees during the annual meeting. The company divides the first, second and third prizes into prizes and prepares some gifts to reward the winning employees to liven up the atmosphere.

Finally, the chairman led the company leaders to award awards and certificates to the company's outstanding employees this year.

Chairman, Mr. Li, I have finished my speech. "

Cao Zhihua nodded and raised his hands to applaud.
After the applause in the office ended, Cao Zhihua said:
“Minister Li’s annual meeting process is very good.

I think it can generally be decided this way.

I think the head of the annual meeting preparatory team will be handed over to Minister Li. Minister Li, the company will strongly support you for this year’s annual meeting. It must be held perfectly. Are you confident? "

Li Xudong was very excited when he heard the chairman's order. This was a good opportunity to show his ability in front of the chairman and the company's senior management. He quickly said loudly:

"Chairman, please rest assured. I promise to make the annual meeting beautiful and make it a classic party that all employees will admire."

Cao Zhihua doesn't doubt the people he employs, but he doesn't trust the people he doubts. He nodded and said:

"Since Mr. Ren, you are the leader of the preparatory team, if you need personnel support, please contact Mr. Li directly, and she will fully support you.

I'll give you a few more helpers. Mr. Zhang, I'll leave the security of the party to you. Is there any problem? "

Zhang Guohua said loudly:
"Report to the chairman, the security company promises to complete the task."

"Mr. Li, Xiaoyu, the material procurement involved in the annual meeting has been given the green light all the way. The purchasing department and the financial department need to fully cooperate. Are there any problems?"

"No problem, Director Cao."

"No problem, Chairman."

"This year's Chinese New Year, the company is planning to pay an extra month's salary as a year-end bonus. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Xiaoyu asked:
"Chairman, every employee in the factory has a different income. What is the standard for this bonus?"
