Hong Kong Island's New Rich Era

Chapter 17 Daily News
1 month 15 day.

Liu Zhicheng came to Tiantian Daily to hold a meeting with grassroots employees. At the critical moment of newspaper-society communication, grassroots employees need to be comforted.

Liu Zhicheng called all the employees of Tiantian Daily to hold a meeting in a large office. There were not many employees in the newspaper, less than 50 people in total including the management.

Obviously everyone already knew something about the new employer. Liu Zhicheng took a look and saw that some employees looked nervous, while others were excited. In short, everyone had the same look on their faces.

Liu Zhicheng cleaned his mouth and said loudly, "I think everyone already knows that the newspaper has changed its boss. But today, I am still here to officially announce to everyone that I am your new boss - Mr. Liu Zhicheng."

Everyone present here works in the information communication industry, and they all know that the new boss Liu Zhicheng is a rich young man, and the boss of Orange Technology, which makes claw machines, is a wealthy bachelor.

“Here, first of all, I would like to thank you all for your contribution to Tiantian Daily. The achievements of the newspaper today are inseparable from your efforts. I hope you will continue to work hard in the future and contribute new strength to the new glory of Tiantian Daily.”

"I don't know if you have heard of me, but I can tell you that I am an unconventional person. After I take over the Tiantian Daily, I will definitely reform the newspaper and strive to make it the best-selling newspaper."

"I am very confident about this goal. I don't ask all of you to have this confidence. I only ask each of you to do your job well in your own position. I don't think I am making it difficult for you! I believe everyone can do it."

Everyone couldn't help but smile. Regardless of whether Liu Zhicheng was just trying to please them or was sincere, at least everyone felt more relaxed from the initial nervousness.

But Liu Zhicheng's next words made everyone become nervous again.

"However, I will set up a human resources department to be responsible for your assessment. From the moment I signed to take over the Tiantian Daily, I have already started the assessment of you."

"Of course, I will give double or triple salary to the staff with outstanding performance at the end of the year as a year-end bonus. Not only that, the staff who are rated as outstanding will have priority for future career promotion. So, it all depends on your performance!"

"Also, every employee here will automatically receive a 10% salary increase after the Spring Festival."

Liu Zhicheng spoke until his mouth was dry, his only purpose was to paint a rosy picture for everyone and stabilize the morale of the troops. Especially at the critical moment of handover, Mo was poached by someone from the newspaper. Because he believed that the current batch of employees were excellent.

There are both big sticks and sweet dates!
In fact, the real big stick does not need to be spoken, and dissatisfied employees can be directly fired. This is the current state of ordinary employees in Hong Kong. Don't talk about feelings, this is the power of capital.

As for the direct salary increase, Liu Zhicheng only did it temporarily. He used this method to calm people's hearts and stabilize this group of old employees.

In fact, whether now or in the past, the boss will always give employees a salary increase only after the employees have achieved results.

Otherwise, after giving you a salary increase, employees will just think that it is what they deserve and completely lose their motivation to work.

After the meeting, when Liu Zhicheng took the management team to the conference room, everyone started to talk about the boss's remarks and analyze the information revealed.

Everyone's performance was fully reflected at this moment. Some looked around and discussed, while others worked seriously.

……

There were eight people in the newspaper's conference room. Liu Zhicheng said directly: "Please introduce yourselves and the departments you are in charge of so that I can get to know you all!"

After the seven people introduced themselves, Liu Zhicheng had a general understanding of the basic situation of the current operation of the newspaper, at least he knew which departments there were.

There are seven departments in total, including Finance Department, News Gathering Department, News Editing Department, Distribution Department, Communications Department, Advertising Department, and Printing Department, which is more than the departments set up by Orange Technology.

After understanding the situation, Liu Zhicheng already had a preliminary development plan for the newspaper in mind.

Liu Zhicheng looked at everyone and said, "For the development of the newspaper, I plan to set up a newspaper company to make Tiantian Daily more corporate. As for the future of the newspaper company, we plan to publish evening papers, weekly newspapers, magazines, etc."

After the company is established, Liu Zhicheng will appoint a deputy to assist him in managing the company and all the specific affairs of the newspaper (except finance).

The position of this deputy is deputy general manager and editor-in-chief, and he is the general person in charge of the newspaper company and is responsible to Liu Zhicheng. In addition, Liu Zhicheng controls the financial power, so he will have effective control over the newspaper.

Liu Zhicheng tapped his fingers on the table and said to Sun Wangsheng, who was in charge of news editing.

"Minister Sun, please expand your news editing team to more than 100 people. I hope to see them all over Hong Kong. I ask you to highlight the "new" and the timeliness of the news content."

"Another thing is to publish more content that Hong Kong citizens like to read and read, and to publish 'breaking news', so as to attract the 'attention' of citizens and help increase newspaper sales."

In fact, what Liu Zhicheng said is nothing new to people in later generations. Some news headlines are designed to shock people and attract attention.

Sun Wangsheng is the head of the news editing department. Although he is also an old man, he is still unsure about what is "explosive". However, he did not consult Liu Zhicheng on the spot, but just answered as if to cooperate with the work: "Boss, OK."

"Minister Zhang, the news editorial department is also a vital department of the entire newspaper. Double its size!"

Liu Zhicheng knew that the quality of a newspaper or periodical depended on the editing, typesetting and printing. Other departments should be auxiliary teams.

"It should be expanded in an orderly and conditional manner, not blindly. I suggest that the content of the newspaper be divided into several editorial groups, such as current affairs, finance, and entertainment. You can arrange the specific groups."

"In addition to current affairs news, such as content about finance, we need to hire some current 'experts' to write financial news; as for the entertainment page, there can be multiple contents. We will invite professionals to write horse and dog news, and publish them in the daily newspaper to enrich our newspaper content."

Although he was still digesting and understanding the boss's instructions, he still had to give the boss enough face and said, "Please rest assured, Mr. Liu, I will enrich the content quality according to the preferences of the citizens and increase the sales of the newspaper."

　The contract has been signed, so readers can collect it with confidence.

　　Please collect, recommend, vote for monthly ticket, and ask for compensation!
