Chapter 007: When the Water Is Clear, There Are No Fish

"Gao Yang, can you play football?" The person asking the question was Liu Jin, the manager of the advertising department.

Liu Jin is a native of Beijing. He is 183 centimeters tall. He likes to play football and is a national second-level goalkeeper.

Gao Yang responded: "I've played football before. I used to love playing football in school, but I haven't played much in the past two years."

Liu Jin asked again: "What position do you play?"

Gao Yang laughed and said: "I play wild football. I have played every position except goalkeeper."

Liu Jindao: "As long as you can play football, I organized a team at the newspaper office and there are 13 people. We will play a game in the People's Court on Saturday afternoon. You are one of them."

Gao Yang nodded: "Okay, I will definitely come when I have time. I will be a substitute."

After smoking a cigarette, several people returned to their workstations and pretended to work seriously.

Gao Yang remembered that among the more than 20 people in the national version, there were only five or six cigarettes. People like Zhang Tao, Wan Hong, Sun Chengyi and Zheng Hai were all non-smokers.

Gao Yang likes to hide in small conference rooms with fellow smokers, smoking and talking nonsense.

Sitting at his desk, Gao Yang began to send emails to the marketing contacts of eight clients and the media specialists of the public relations company one by one, introducing himself and attaching his contact information.

It was already 10:30 in the morning, so it was not appropriate to make a call to the manufacturer's contact person, as it would be intrusive. Send an email first, and then get to know each other later.

There is no need to be polite to public relations companies, they rely on the media.

Paq’s public relations company, Aomei Media, has the name Gu Yawen on its business card.

This is obviously a girl's name. In the previous life, almost all the media specialists of the public relations company that Gao Yang knew were girls.

Gao Yang directly dialed Gu Yawen's cell phone, and someone quickly answered the call.

Gu Yawen's voice was waxy and a little sweet, which made Gao Yang subconsciously imagine a pure and sweet youthful face.

After paq company, Gu Yawen said: "paq will have an exclusive interview event on Friday afternoon. I am preparing to contact Zhang Tao. Can you come on Friday?"

Gao Yang said: "I have no problem here."

Gu Yawen said: "Then I will send you an invitation letter later. Please prepare an interview outline with three or four questions."

Gao Yang said: "Okay, I will reply to your email in the afternoon."

Next, Gao Yang continued to call other public relations companies to confirm that he was the latest cpi reporter to take over these clients.

No, paq, among the other seven companies, three companies have press conferences this week, two of which are in the morning and afternoon tomorrow respectively. The time is staggered.

There is another one at 2pm on Friday.

The media specialist of the public relations company said that an invitation letter would be sent to Gao Yang's mailbox immediately.

There are 8 customers. In the first week after taking over, there were three press conferences and one exclusive interview. The transportation fee for this week is estimated to be 1,500 yuan.

This is really a good era for IT journalists.

Previously, Gao Yang worked as an editor at Jinyang Metropolis Daily, working night shifts more than 20 days a month, but his salary was just over 800 yuan.

At this time, Gu Yawen from Aomei called again and said that the compaq interview invitation letter had been sent to Gao Yang's mailbox.

Paq's exclusive interview is scheduled for Saturday morning. After 4 pm on Friday, we will report to the hotel at a hot spring training center in Xiaotangshan.

Gao Yang was relieved. He had enough time to attend the press conference at two o'clock on Friday afternoon.

In the exclusive interview arranged by compaq on Saturday, two managers appeared, namely the channel director of the PC business and the technical director of the server business.

Gao Yang thought about it for a while and felt that this was an opportunity. Perhaps, Paq, the channel director, would attend the CPI channel forum.

However, you have to make preparations and convince the other party with the value of the channel forum.

Gao Yang has almost forgotten many things in the IT industry in this era.

Gao Yang found the recent CPI national newspaper and looked through it at noon. After lunch, he searched online for the current basic situation of Paq Company.

From last year to this year, when paq was at its peak, it was currently the number one brand in PC sales in the world.

This PC company was founded in 1982. It took only 12 years to become the first in global sales, which is a miracle.

In 1997, Paq was unwilling to succeed only in the PC market and acquired the server manufacturer Tandem. In 1998, it even shockingly "snake the elephant" and acquired IBM's competitor, the minicomputer brand manufacturer Dec.

After reading this information, after paq acquired dec, it suffered from indigestion. The cultures, management and channel agency systems of the two companies were incompatible. The agency system was in chaos and internal friction was serious. The CEO who led the merger and acquisition had already stepped down in the first half of this year.

In about one year, paq will be acquired by HP.

paq's agency system should be in chaos at present.

After realizing this, Gao Yang thought about it for a while, and finally wrote four paragraphs of questions as the interview outline for the exclusive interview, and replied to Gu Yawen's email.

As for the exclusive interview with the server, Gao Yang wrote 3 paragraphs of questions.

Gao Yang believed that Paq, the channel director, might notice him after reading these questions.

After finishing this matter, Gao Yang went to the advertising department and asked Liu Jin for two written invitations to the CPI Channel Forum for backup. By the way, he informed that the exclusive interview with Paq would not be able to play football.

Gao Yang also knows that Paq's attendance at the CPI channel forum will be very beneficial to the subsequent invitations to guest speakers from other customers.

The experience in his previous life made Gao Yang understand that when these large companies participate in large-scale forum activities such as IT Media, there is a strong emphasis on comparison and face-saving. When the media sends invitations, the other party always asks, "Which companies are sure to participate?"

On October 21, Thursday, before 9 a.m., Gao Yang rushed to the office to check in, then went downstairs to take a taxi, went straight to Xizhimen, then changed to the subway and rushed to a five-star hotel in the East Third Ring Road to attend

A press conference for a small company.

At noon, I stayed in Dongcheng and found a noodle restaurant for lunch. At two o'clock in the afternoon, I rushed to a hotel near the East Second Ring Road to attend another press conference.

After four o'clock in the afternoon, Gao Yang returned to the office carrying two information bags and an extra 600 yuan in travel expenses in his wallet.

Gao Yang immediately found Zhang Tao, handed over 300 yuan for the carriage fee, and signed for registration.

Wu Bo saw him and motioned Gao Yang to go to the small conference room to have a cigarette.

Sitting down, Wu Bo said with a smile: "Gao Yang, you don't have to be so honest. Some reporters may only pay the carriage fee two or three times after going to ten meetings. Like Wan Hong and Zhang Tao, they estimate that they can pay five or six times out of ten meetings. Everyone is like this."

They are all working as laborers, and I turn a blind eye."

Gao Yang nodded and smiled: "Teacher Wu, I understand."

If the water is clear, there will be no fish. Being too independent is not a good thing.

In his previous life, Gao Yang was a bit silly. He always insisted on paying half of the carriage fare according to the rules, and refused to help the public relations company publish press releases.

Gao Yang decided that for tomorrow’s press conference and Saturday’s exclusive interview, he would not hand over the transportation fees.

After smoking a cigarette, Gao Yang returned to his work station and began to write a manuscript.

For today's two press conferences, Gao Yang planned to write a short manuscript of five to six hundred words.

Later, Lin Yuan, who was sitting at the desk next to her, came back from a run. Seeing Gao Yang typing quickly, Lin Yuan was a little surprised: "Gao Yang, can you type Wubi?"

Gao Yang smiled and said: "I learned Wubi from the beginning and practiced it by chatting on QQ."

Lin Yuan raised her thumb: "Besides you, only Wan Hong can type Wubi characters in the national version."

Gao Yang smiled slightly and continued to write. He returned to his previous life as an IT reporter 20 years ago and wrote two small articles. It was too easy for Gao Yang.

When other reporters write this kind of brief press release, most of them delete, delete or even directly paste the press release from the public relations company.

Gao Yang converted these press releases into his own way of expressing news and wrote news manuscripts in a standard format. The two manuscripts were rushed out before get off work at 6 p.m.

CPI makes editions every Friday and publishes them on Mondays. Gao Yang sent two manuscripts to Zhang Tao to make editions tomorrow night, so he had to take leave.
