Zhang Zhonghua and Liu Siqi talked in the conference room for half an hour, and finally Zhang Zhonghua directly issued a check of 48 million from Jade Emperor Bank.
It was also agreed that someone would be arranged to hand over to Liu Siqi in the afternoon, and Liu Siqi would then accompany the financial staff to handle the transfer.
Zhang Zhonghua is not afraid that Liu Siqi will take his money and then refuse to admit it. Although there are people who dare to cheat him on Hong Kong Island, they are definitely not many. Among the very few people who dare to cheat Zhang Zhonghua, he is definitely not included.
Liu Siqi.
When Zhang Zhonghua and Liu Siqi walked out of the conference room, many newspaper employees were already outside the conference room. Zhang Sheng, the richest man in Yanxia, came to buy the "Overseas Chinese Daily". Who is still thinking about work at this time? Whether the acquisition can be completed will be directly
It was decided that they would not come, so everyone was anxiously waiting for the result of the acquisition.
Liu Siqi, who walked out of the conference room, looked at the hot and expectant eyes of his employees, and felt very depressed. How anxious are you to get into the Yuhuang Group? I know that the Yuhuang Group is very good, but can you
If you can't take care of my feelings, I'm still your boss now.
Liu Siqi took a deep breath, and then asked someone to summon all the employees working in the newspaper to gather here.
Liu Siqi, who was shocked and a bit lost, said a few simple words, nothing more than thanking the employees for their hard work, feeling sorry for everyone, etc.
Then it was announced that the entire Overseas Chinese Newspaper was packaged and sold to Zhang Zhonghua's Yuhuang Group. After Overseas Chinese Daily became a subsidiary of the Yuhuang Group, it would receive full support from the group and encourage everyone to work hard to bring "Overseas Chinese Daily" back to its peak.
Although the Jade Emperor Group is powerful, many employees are still worried that their abilities will not meet the requirements of the Jade Emperor Group. After all, once the Yuhuang Group takes over the newspaper, it will definitely recruit more and more outstanding people to work in the newspaper.
The welfare of the Jade Emperor Group is well-deserved to be ranked first in Hong Kong Island. If you fail to meet the requirements of the Jade Emperor Group and are expelled, you will suffer huge losses. After all, the market has not been good in the past few years. I want to find a job in Hong Kong Island.
It’s not easy to get a stable job either.
"We all work in the media, so there shouldn't be many people who don't know me."
Liu Siqi gave up her position to Zhang Zhonghua, and the employees in the newspaper lobby also laughed, which relieved the somewhat solemn atmosphere just now. People in the media field who don't know Zhang Sheng should really be laid off. After all, Zhang Zhonghua is in the hot summer.
The richest man can make headlines even if he squats on the roadside and smokes a cigarette.
"Although everyone knows me, I still want to introduce myself briefly. My name is Zhang Zhonghua, the chairman of Yuhuang Group.
Although everyone knows about the Jade Emperor Group, they are not very familiar with it. Our group is a large international group with operations in China, the United Kingdom, Japan, West Germany, Gaul, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, and Spain.
, Portugal, Thailand, Singapore, Luzon and many other countries on every continent in the world have branches.
Today, its various companies continue to expand globally, and the group's global employees are approaching one million, and this number is growing every day.
Now that the newspaper is owned by the Yuhuang Group, it also means that our newspaper media must also go global, instead of being limited to Southeast Asia.
The predecessor of "Overseas Chinese Daily" is Hong Kong Island's first Chinese daily "China and Foreign News". After Yuhuang Group takes over "Overseas Chinese Daily", it will definitely give the newspaper full support and strive to develop into the world's largest Chinese newspaper, and even the world's largest
One of the newspapers."
"I believe everyone is worried about layoffs in newspaper companies. I can tell you clearly that layoffs at Yuhuang Group are unlikely.
As long as there are no major mistakes during work, Yuhuang Group will not lay off workers casually. The group encourages all employees to continue learning and furthering their studies.
If the employee's ability cannot keep up with the company's development pace, the company will continue to train and will not give up every employee who has worked hard. Of course, if it is really not suitable for the current positioning, the group will also transfer to other positions."
Hearing Zhang Zhonghua's promise, the employees in the lobby felt relieved. As long as they did not harm the company's interests, they could continue to study or be transferred to other positions. As long as they did not commit suicide in the Yuhuang Group, there was basically no danger of unemployment. The worst they could do was sell hamburgers in a CFC restaurant.
Wages are still in the upper-middle range on Hong Kong Island.
"Next, the name of our newspaper will also be changed to "Jade Emperor Daily", and "Overseas Chinese Daily" will cease publication in three days.
The salary of all employees of the newspaper will be in line with that of the Yuhuang Group, and the salary will definitely be far higher than that of peers. We can rest assured that the company will introduce more talents in the future, so let’s encourage each other.”
Zhang Zhonghua said with a smile.
As Zhang Zhonghua's voice fell, warm applause erupted in the newspaper hall. Zhang Zhonghua also left the first floor and walked upstairs with several management personnel.
When Zhang Zhonghua and several newspaper management staff disappeared from sight, all the newspaper employees stopped applauding.
They all understood what Zhang Zhonghua meant in his last sentence: if he could not keep up with the development of the company, he would have no choice but to abdicate in favor of someone more talented.
Although it is possible to transfer to other companies, if you think about it, you will know that there is also fierce competition within other companies in the group, and no one wants to be lost in the Jade Emperor Newspaper.
Under the guidance of the receptionist who first received Zhang Zhonghua, he took Zhang Zhonghua to the large conference room on the third floor, and nine more people came in right behind him.
"Don't be nervous. Everyone, please introduce yourselves so that I can formally get to know you. Let's start from the left."
Zhang Zhonghua looked at the nervous people and said with a smile.
"Boss, my name is... I work in a newspaper office... I graduated from..."
"Boss, my name is... I work in a newspaper office... I graduated from..."
…
Soon the nine people present took turns to briefly introduce themselves. Zhang Zhonghua also wrote down the positions and work experience of these people. They were all top students with rich work experience.
"Overseas Chinese Daily" is worthy of being a veteran newspaper. Although it has declined, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. The overall skeleton of the newspaper is relatively complete, and all internal departments are complete. It can be said that although it is a small sparrow, it has all the internal organs.
Moreover, these nine people have all worked in the newspaper for at least fourteen or five years. They have rich work experience and good personal connections. They only need them to bring back all the employees who have left the newspaper in recent years. But no matter how many people there are,
With enough support from the group, we will soon be able to reach the top of the Hong Kong Island newspaper industry again.
However, "Overseas Chinese Daily" currently has too few employees, just two or three big cats and kittens. If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. As a company under the Yuhuang Group, among other things, you must have enough people.
To suddenly recruit hundreds or thousands of journalists is nothing for the Yuhuang Group. The Yuhuang Group either doesn't do it, or it has to do its best if it does.
"Yes, I am very happy to meet all of you here. All of you have been working in the newspaper field for more than ten or even more than 20 years. Everyone has rich work experience. I am very satisfied and pleased with this.
Now that "Overseas Chinese Daily" has been owned by the Yuhuang Group, let me share some of my views."
Zhang Zhonghua said to the nine people present with satisfaction. At the same time, his eyes swept over the nine people in front of him one by one. His gaze made the nine people involuntarily puff up their chests.
"Actually, I didn't originally plan to enter the newspaper industry now. My original plan was to wait until the 1980s to enter the newspaper industry in a few years, or even ten years.
After all, the profits of newspapers are completely negligible to the Jade Emperor Group. It is a pity that these newspapers in Hong Kong Island have always been eyeing the Jade Emperor Group.
Even when I returned to Hong Kong Island from Ugly Country, I was able to occupy the front pages of major newspapers in Hong Kong Island for several days. This made me very tired, so I had no choice but to enter in advance and put pressure on them to let Hong Kong Island newspapers not do so.
There is nothing to do all day long.
Since our Jade Emperor Group has entered the newspaper field, it will definitely become bigger and stronger. Hong Kong Island is just a tiny place, so it is meaningless.
Jade Emperor Newspaper must go beyond Hong Kong Island and Asia, develop into a global newspaper, and publish newspapers in various languages.
Please don’t think that what I say is unrealistic and just fanciful. In the future, the group will have the world’s strongest sales channels Homemart convenience stores, Carrefour supermarkets, and CFC restaurants. In the future, these three companies under the group will inevitably spread all over the world and can provide newspapers with
News and can also provide sales channels.”
Zhang Zhonghua looked at the somewhat excited newspaper management, took a sip of water, and then continued.
"Before I bought "Overseas Chinese Daily", I already had some knowledge about the newspaper. The main reason why "Overseas Chinese Daily" has been declining in recent years is that it has not kept up with the development of the times, so it has slowly grown from three newspapers on Hong Kong Island to
The giant newspaper turned into the small, unpopular newspaper it is now."
Through Zhang Zhonghua's words, the newspaper management understood the whole story of his acquisition of the newspaper and his wishes for Jade Emperor Newspaper. Although the new boss's words were harsh, they were correct. Moreover, the decline of "Overseas Chinese Daily" was an indisputable fact, and so was everyone.
Can't refute.
“Now it’s time for newspapers to fail without reform. We must be able to keep up with the times so that newspapers can thrive again!
Let me outline the general requirements. The company's framework will also undergo significant changes. The current main development tasks are Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.
First, establish a human resources department, and the group will provide assistance to recruit a large number of outstanding talents and previously lost talents;
Secondly, the editorial department and printing department will undergo technical upgrades and introduce computer technology. Jade Emperor Printing Company will provide temporary assistance. The newspaper will use the latest CAD software and advanced printing equipment for typesetting. Employees in the two departments will undergo training for up to half a year.
;
Then set up a competent department, a planning department, etc.”
Everyone felt a headache after hearing Zhang Zhonghua's words. They felt that if they really couldn't keep up with the development of the newspaper, when the newspaper really rose from a local second-rate newspaper on Hong Kong Island to a major global newspaper, I am afraid that people like them would have to hang out in Hong Kong Island.
.
"Boss, some of the super people in the newspaper editorial department are quite old. It would be very difficult for them to learn computers again."
Editorial Director Qi Tongwei said with some worry.
"Well, this is indeed a problem, but you still have to learn. If you are willing to learn, you can stay and continue to work. If you are not willing to learn, you can apply for job transfer or job change. The company will compensate employees who change jobs and leave for three months' salary.
Moreover, "Jade Emperor Daily" will adopt a brand new horizontal printing, which is also the future development trend of newspapers. The newspaper typists will also have to learn all over again. I think this is not very difficult for them."
Zhang Zhonghua said.
For employees who have resigned, Zhang Zhonghua also unanimously adopts the system of later generations to compensate them. As for the n + 1 compensation, those who leave the newspaper will not be unemployed in a short time.
"Boss, now all the existing printing equipment in the printing factory must be disposed of?"
The head of the printing department asked.
"Let's take care of everything. All technical staff will go to Yuhuang Printing Factory first to familiarize themselves with the new equipment. The newspaper printing department will be merged into Yuhuang Printing Company. You will be directly transferred to the printing company to be responsible for related printing of newspapers and books."
Zhang Zhonghua said.
"Boss, it's no problem. I'm also familiar with computer printing. It's just that the newspaper's printing plant doesn't have those equipment."
The printing minister said with some excitement that as a printing minister, he did not have much future in a newspaper. It would be better to go to Jade Emperor Printing Company than to work in a newspaper.
"Yes, the Jade Emperor Group adheres to the principle of promoting the capable to the weak, and at the same time, it will also send senior executives of the group and its affiliated companies to foreign universities to continue their studies.
Don’t put too much psychological pressure on the future. Your valuable work experience is irreplaceable. As long as you learn new technologies and enter a new system, you will definitely perform better. The newspaper currently does not have a dedicated general manager.
And the deputy general manager?"
"Boss, the general manager of the newspaper was concurrently held by the former Liu Sheng. As for the deputy general manager, he also resigned a year ago. There has always been a vacancy."
The Minister of Administration replied.
Zhang Zhonghua looked at the director of the administrative department. This person had multiple responsibilities and was responsible for the company's administration, human resources, general information room, etc. His ability was certainly unparalleled.
"That's it, then you will temporarily serve as the deputy general manager. As for the general manager position, let's recruit someone else. Before the general manager unit, you will be in charge of the newspaper for the time being."
Zhang Zhonghua said with a smile.
"No problem, I will manage the company well during this period."
The Minister of Administration said with some excitement that he never expected to be promoted.
The next day, the ownership transfer of "Overseas Chinese Daily" was completed and it became a subsidiary of Yuhuang Group. Yuhuang Group also officially entered the media field.
Soon the employees of Jade Emperor Newspaper began to move to the Jade Emperor Building in Central, and Jade Emperor Printing Company also officially settled in the printing factory in Kowloon Tong. At the same time, it also ordered two sets of printing equipment from the UK.
The group's human resources director officially took over the human resources department of Yuhuang Newspaper, and began to urgently recruit all kinds of talents and began to set up various departments of the newspaper. As for the candidate of the general manager, he entrusted it to a headhunting company, hoping to recruit hot summer people from Europe to work in the newspaper.
