Chapter 371 The Reporter Problem Solved

After the court meeting the next day, when Fang Zhengyi and Li Yuanzhao rushed to the newspaper office together, Xie Xian immediately rushed to them.

It looked like he was very tired, and his hair was slightly disheveled.

When Xie Xian saw Fang Zhengyi, he immediately felt as if he was seeing a savior and complained: "Master! The leaflet worked!"

"You don't know! People outside are like crazy and want to apply for reporters, and there's nothing they can do to stop me!"

"Now I've rushed people to Laoliu Restaurant... Our reporters here still can't start working with peace of mind."

Fang Zheng was delighted.

He also had doubts about this thing, and he might not be able to recruit people because of the climate.

Unexpectedly, the effect is outstanding. It seems that people's hearts in ancient and modern times are the same.

Apart from the huge difference in lifestyle, the underlying things are still the same!

"It's not good to have too many people. I used to worry about not being able to find people. What are you worried about now?"

Li Yuanzhao asked curiously: "Hey, Lao Fang? How did you recruit people? I have recruited many times before and still can't find one."

Xie Xian quickly went back to the house and took a leaflet and handed it to Li Yuanzhao.

Li Yuanzhao frowned after reading the flyer.

"It seems...that's what they said, but why do I feel so awkward?"

Fang Zheng smiled and said, "What's so awkward about it."

"Your Highness, this is propaganda. The so-called propaganda means not telling lies but telling the truth selectively. Isn't that what the six newspapers do? When have you ever seen the imperial court promote itself?"

"Besides, the news we have here is all true, it's just written in a simpler and more straightforward way!"

Li Yuanzhao shook his head and sighed: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, this method is good, why didn't I think of it?"

"Your Highness, I have already told you to ask you to read more about Buddhism."

"The five poisons, six desires, seven emotions and eight sufferings, and the weaknesses of human nature are all written in Buddhism. You have to take advantage of them. How does Buddhism attract followers? Think about it carefully!"

Xie Xian on the side suddenly realized!

He usually likes to read some Buddhist scriptures, but now he finally understands what Buddhism is all about!

It seems that I have read all the previous books incorrectly! As expected of the master, he woke up the dreamer with one word!

Li Yuanzhao nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Xie Xian and said, "Since so many people want to join the newspaper office, let's recruit them! Why drive them to other places?"

Xie Xian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, it's not that we don't want to recruit, so many people really have no experience and no rules."

"We need at most twenty people. Who should we recruit? How much money should we give each month?"

Fang Zheng thought for a moment: "What's so difficult about this? Let's take a written test to test our skills first."

"Just ask the reporters to compile a copy of the test questions, screen out half of them in the written test, and then conduct interviews."

"It's enough to screen out half of the candidates during the interview! Those with poor family conditions will be looked after, but those with poor qualifications will not be accepted."

"Oh, that's right. During the interview, set up a trash can in the corner of the room and throw some garbage next to it. If you can take the initiative to clean up, you will be considered for employment."

"This matter can be posted on the Soul Ginseng Soup section the next day." Fang Zhengyi chuckled, showing his bad taste.

This is another highlight in the history books!

Xie Xian sighed: "Master is really far-sighted. It's amazing how one can see a person's character through such a small thing..."

"Okay, stop flattering me! Is there anything else?"

"What about the monthly salary? Our old reporters are 20 taels per month, and the new ones can't be higher than this, right?"

"Hmm..." Fang Zheng thought hard.

This is indeed a problem. It is unfair to give only two or two pairs of old employees, but giving less is suspected of false advertising.

Setting wages is a science. The previous uniform salary for all reporters was too rough.

If there are too many people still playing like this, then there is obviously something wrong with the incentive mechanism, and we need to think about this carefully.

Hearing this, Li Yuanzhao asked: "How much do they plan to charge for the job application this morning? Has anyone mentioned it?"

Xie Xian recalled for a while: "No one asked us how much we paid, but the competition was quite fierce!"

"Some people say that they are willing to do it for no money, as long as food, accommodation and admission to the library are included!"

Li Yuanzhao's mouth immediately opened: "Then why are you still struggling!"

"Two hundred people want them all! Five taels of silver per person per month!"

Xie Xian was shocked: "Fifty taels! Two hundred people want them all, not to mention that the newspaper office can't accommodate them, it's a thousand taels of silver every month!"

"Your Highness, this is definitely not possible. How about...you think about it again?"

After saying that, Xie Xian turned to look at Fang Zhengyi, his eyes full of helplessness.

The prince's mind is a little abnormal...

"Who said we have to give them money? They want to give the newspaper five taels a month!"

"Everyone is five taels per month. Shouldn't our newspaper office earn an additional one thousand taels? We will receive as much as you want!"

"Since they are all willing to rush for work, why should we pay them wages?" Li Yuanzhao said thoughtfully, holding his chin.

Fang Zhengyi: "......"

Xie Xian: "......"

Watching the prince gradually transform, Fang Zheng was filled with admiration.

As expected of the students I teach, their learning ability far exceeds my level!

Ordinary capitalists just peel off the skin, but the prince is already thinking about gutting people at a young age...

Work for the boss and pay the boss back!

Is this inappropriate and should be included in future business school textbooks?!

"Your Highness, this is really a bit too much. We are a newspaper, and we will have to consider the status of journalists in the future."

"If the people know that reporters are just a bunch of cows and horses, who will think highly of reporters in the future?"

"They came because they can pass the examination in the next three years. They have no feelings for the newspaper in the first place. If they become officials in the future, why don't they scold us to death? It's not good for the newspaper!"

If you really want to collect money from interviewers, you should choose a place that is open to the public!

It seems good to set up a Mid-Levels public examination or other shared library...

Li Yuanzhao shrugged: "I'm just talking casually, what if it works?"

"No chance! Don't even think about this in the future!" Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Lao Xie, in the future you can discuss with other reporters and set a set of promotion standards. For newcomers, we can tentatively set one or two."

Xie Xian nodded in agreement.

"Also, our reporters who have passed the exam are unlikely to continue working as before. Good things will come to an end."

"Those people have gone home to celebrate. When they come back, the benefits they should receive will remain the same. The library and cafeteria are open to them free of charge. If someone is willing to continue working, let him do it. It is best to arrange a more flexible job.

Don’t delay your studies.”

"And that Shen Yi, he is now the golden brand of our newspaper. He is the same. There is no need to force him to stay, but it is best to find some time to help us promote the newspaper and conduct special interviews. That's all. Let's arrange it."

After arranging the newspaper office, Fang Zheng thought about it carefully.

At this time...the third uncle should be back...
