Chapter 155 Gu Long’s change and meeting with Jin Yong
“Is it true?” Although Yang Wendong knew with high probability that this kind of thing was unlikely to be false, he still asked subconsciously.
Zhao Chengguang said with a smile: "Yang Sheng, can I still joke with you about this kind of thing? They have already decided internally and the radio station will give it to you. The relevant process will take about another week."
"That's great." Yang Wendong was really happy.
Before television became popular, radio and newspapers were the only ways for most people to receive external channels. The former was high-cost and the latter was low-cost.
But the efficiency of the radio station is very high. It can be said that it is the same as the TV station, except that there is no picture content.
As there are already a lot of old players in the newspaper industry, it is obviously difficult to break through in a short time. But if you get a radio station, you can seize a corner of the media.
Zhao Chengguang said again: "Yang Sheng, I would like to remind you that when the Hong Kong government gives Radio Qi a license, you have to do things well one by one according to the plan you submitted. If it is a little late or there are some minor problems , that can be discussed.
But if the deviation is large, according to the contract, the Hong Kong government has the right to take back the radio station, so you need to implement it as soon as possible and start the radio station. Once the radio station is built, as long as you If it's not illegal, then the Hong Kong government will basically stop caring about you."
"Okay, don't worry, I know what's going on," Yang Wendong readily agreed. Before the radio station was fully completed, he still wanted to do it. I can't be absolutely assured.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Wendong immediately contacted Zhang Hui. In the afternoon, he arrived;
Yang Wendong smiled and said: "Sheng Zhang, the license is here, we succeeded."
Really?" Zhang Hui's eyes lit up, and he got the license, which meant that he had a new chance in life.
Yang Wendong took out an envelope and said: "This is the salary I am offering you, which is twice your previous salary. You can leave your job, and then come to me as soon as possible to set up the radio company.
This is just the beginning. If the radio station develops well in the future, your treatment will be much better than this. ”
Zhang Hui took the envelope, but did not open it in front of the boss. Instead, he put it away. Then he took out a piece of paper, handed it to Yang Wendong and said, "Okay, Yang Sheng, but I need to recruit some people. Here It’s a list of various positions.”
Yang Wendong took it and took a look. It was a simple hand-drawn table, describing the positions of almost 20 people, the number of each position and the approximate market salary. I can see Zhang Hui’s intentions.
Then he returned the piece of paper and said: "This configuration is fine, you can recruit people according to this, but there are not many people working in radio stations in Hong Kong, so don't just catch the public. Radio stations are trying their best to recruit people.
There should be British-funded radio stations in Macau, or in Wanwan. Either way, we can even train them ourselves in the future, otherwise, Tian Yunjian’s side will not be easy to explain.”
He also knew that Tian Yunjian had hired “civil servants” from the Hong Kong government for him. After that, it would be a bit unreasonable to try desperately to poach people in his department;
Besides, when organizing a new company, it is taboo that all new employees come from the same place. If they all know each other, it may not be good for the new company.
"Okay, I understand." Zhang Hui agreed.
"Wait a minute, I will introduce you to someone, and you will work together in the future." After Yang Wendong finished speaking, he dialed the internal number and called Qin Zhiye. After introducing the two of them: " You two, you will be the person in charge of my media company from now on, and you will also work in the same building, and you can also cooperate with each other."
"Qin. Hello, sir." Zhang Hui shook hands and said with a smile: "I am a radio station. Although it is a media, we do not do interviews. The content of the news is usually to broadcast the recent events in the newspapers. "
Qin Zhiye said: "That's great, this will also allow our reporters' work to be reused. "
Yang Wendong said from the side: "Lao Qin, you will take Lao Zhang to our future building later. Is the top floor over there about to be topped out?"
The new Hong Kong China Daily Building is only a total of With 12 floors, construction is not difficult and there are no special requirements. Party A has sufficient funds, and Party B can naturally speed up the construction. According to the plan, the building will be completed by the end of January next year.
All the employees will move in 60 years ago, but only on the ground floor, because the lower floor will be built in advance and decorated in advance to disperse the smell. In this way, there is still enough time.
Now, it is already the end of November, and the building should be almost ready.
Qin Zhiye nodded and said: "The upper level is almost finished, and the decoration of the lower three floors has also been completed. We don't have many people at the moment. Even if we include Zhang Sheng's side, two floors are enough.
For the floors above, we can wait until after next year and then take our time. We will definitely have enough in a short period of time. "
"Okay, finally it's almost done. Yang Wendong nodded and said, "The next step is up to you." ”
He attaches great importance to the media, but in this field, unlike industry, he cannot provide any strategic advantage. The only thing is that he dares to invest heavily because he knows the future.
Now that there are newspapers and radio stations, good office space is provided for these two businesses, and related equipment will also be provided. The rest will have to be left to these professional managers, Qin and Zhang. He quickly expressed his position: "Don't worry Yang Sheng, we will definitely do our best. ”
"Yes." Yang Wendong nodded, and then asked some simple questions. Zhang Hui said goodbye and left. He needed to go back and deal with his current work problems immediately.
Qin Zhiye said after a while: "Yang Sheng, there are a few things I need to report to you recently."
"What is it, tell me." Yang Wendong asked.
Qin Zhiye said: "Recently, the sales of our newspapers have been in a state of slow growth. In fact, our news is no later than other newspapers. Xiong Sheng's novels have also been serialized, which seems a bit weak.
So I would like to solicit some short articles, jokes, and anecdotes from the public, which may increase the attractiveness of our newspaper, but in this case the budget will be larger.”
"Yes, as long as there is good content, you should pay." Yang Wendong naturally agreed: "In addition, since we are a high-end newspaper, we will pay a high price for the content.
As long as we If the price is in place, hundreds of thousands of educated people in Hong Kong will definitely choose us first. Maybe there will be characters like Jin Yong or Xiong Yaohua among these people. If we can have another good novel, we will make a lot of money. "
To be a newspaper, radio station, or even a TV station in the future, this kind of media company must spend money to find high-quality content from the society, and it is impossible to create so much content in-house.
"Speaking of Xiong Sheng, an interesting thing happened recently." Qin Zhiye had a smile in his eyes.
Yang Wendong asked curiously: "What's the matter?"
Qin Zhiye said: "Didn't we discuss before that Xiong Sheng's alcoholism was more serious? Didn't you ask me to find a psychiatrist at that time?"
"Yes." Yang Wendong nodded. As for Gu Long, his future His expectations are still very high. First, his novels can stabilize his newspaper, which will at least be of great help.
The second is that if he has no accidents in the original history and can live normally into the 21st century, then if he cooperates with him and uses the power of capital to promote his novels for television, then maybe he can create a A well-known martial arts writer no worse than Jin Yong.
Now that Gu Long has come to Hong Kong, history has completely changed, but his drinking problem will still be a huge hidden danger. One is that he is prone to physical problems, and the other is that drinking too much alcohol will offend people.
Qin Zhiye said: "I arranged for a psychiatrist to counsel him. The doctor was quite powerful. He changed Xiong Sheng's whole person after just a few meetings. Then Xiong Sheng asked for leave and ran back to the Bay. Bay, ready to marry his girlfriend.”
"Married? So soon? Is it that Zheng Yuexia?" Yang Wendong asked.
It is naturally impossible to know about Gu Long based on the memory of his previous life, but after contacting him in this life, he learned that Gu Long's life was quite tragic.
When he was a boy, he showed great writing talent. He originally thought he could live a comfortable life, but his father abandoned his wife and children for his mistress. After that, his mother became ill again, and the whole family fell into trouble. difficulties.
In order to support his family, Gu Long joined a gang in Wanwan and met a dancing girl, Zheng Yuexia. It was this woman who made Gu Long give up the gang, find a serious job again, and start writing books.
After that, it was Yang Wendong's intervention that brought him to Hong Kong, and Gu Long returned to Wanwan after a while, just for Zheng Yuexia.
Qin Zhiye nodded and said: "Yes, Xiong Sheng is already planning to rent a house in Hong Kong. Both of them will move here. They just want to rent a nearby one. The price is very high. He is entrusting me to find a suitable one."< br>
“Well, in this case, you can see if there is any suitable residential house nearby, and I will pay for it. Buy a house and let them live in it." Yang Wendong paused and said, "The rent will be cheaper than the market price, and then it will be deducted from his manuscript fee, so that he can write in Hong Kong with peace of mind."
Cologne is good if you can avoid drinking too much and live peacefully. Drinking it in moderation is fine.
Of course, according to Yang Wendong's memory, Gu Long had several confidantes and illegitimate children in his previous life. Maybe when he got rich, he inherited his father's business and went out to live wildly, but this is not what he can do now. Controlled.
Qin Zhiye said with a smile: "Okay, if Mr. Xiong can write novels with peace of mind, then my work here will be much easier."
"Well, I told him congratulations." Yang Wendong smiled and asked: "Is there anything else?"
Qin Zhiye replied: "Yes, in the morning, Shen Baoxin from Mingbao gave me A phone call, he said Mr. Jin Yong would like to make an appointment with you to go to Mingpao."
