Lin Xingzhi was stunned when he walked into Jade Emperor Newspaper. As soon as he entered the door, he saw various snacks, drinks, newspapers, magazines, especially various newspapers and magazines, as long as they were in Hong Kong.
Everything you can get on the island is here, and even magazines from Europe and the United States that are not available on Hong Kong Island are here. Anyway, there are only things you can’t think of and you can’t find them here.
Lin Xingzhi couldn't help but sigh, the treatment offered by the Yuhuang Group was truly unmatched by Mingbao. It was indeed the Yuhuang Group that was rich and powerful.
"Hello, welcome to Jade Emperor Newspaper, what can I do for you?"
When the front desk saw someone coming in, she quickly stood up and said to Lin Xingzhi that she didn't know whether they were here for an interview or to discuss business.
But in her opinion, Lin Xingzhi was probably here for an interview, because Jade Emperor Newspaper had just been established and there was no business to talk about.
What's more, she didn't know what position this person was interviewing for. If he came to interview her superior, and the interview was successful, she would be put in a bad position, which made her dare not neglect Lin Xingzhi at all.
"Hello, my name is Lin Xingzhi. I came to Yuhuang Newspaper today to interview for the position of deputy manager of the newspaper. This is my resume."
Lin Xingzhi spoke very politely and handed over his resume.
"Okay, Mr. Lin, please come to the small conference room with me and wait."
As he spoke, he took out a printed interview form from the drawer at the front desk, and then led Lin Xingzhi into a clean and tidy small conference room?
The receptionist put away Lin Xingzhi's resume and various certificates, and then handed Lin Xingzhi a pen to fill in the interview form.
"Mr. Lin, I don't know if you want tea or coffee. If you don't want to drink tea or coffee, you can drink all the drinks in this conference room."
"Thank you, there's no need to get it. I'll just get a bottle of Coke myself."
Lin Xingzhi said with a smile, and then asked his doubts: "Sorry, I have a question. I heard what you were reading when I came in just now, and it sounded strange. I couldn't understand it at all.
I understand what it is, may I ask what it is?”
"Oh, Mr. Lin, what I was reciting just now is the Wubi input method. This is a computer Chinese character input method invented by our boss Zhang Sheng. Through the Wubi input method, Chinese characters can be typed on the computer.
But if you want to use the Wubi input method to type, you must first remember the root of Wubi, and then separate each Chinese character and combine it again, so that you can type Chinese characters on the computer."
The front desk lady explained to Lin Xingzhi.
"Computer Chinese character input? It's really amazing. I didn't expect Zhang Sheng to have invented a computer Chinese character input method. This is a problem that has troubled the industry for a long time."
After hearing the explanation at the front desk, Lin Xingzhi praised Zhang Zhonghua sincerely.
Chinese character input method is a big problem, mainly because there are too many Chinese characters and there are various glyphs. Unlike English, which only requires a combination of letters, it is possible to develop a Chinese character input method, even if this input method is troublesome
Something, and definitely a very remarkable achievement.
"The boss invented the Chinese character input method two years ago, but because computers are too expensive now, the Wubi input method is not very useful, so it has not been promoted. Our boss Zhang Sheng is regarded as a computer expert all over the world.
A super expert, he even had a lawsuit with IBM before, and the most important thing is that he won."
The receptionist smiled and said to Lin Xingzhi that she also admired the boss very much.
"Oh, why did Zhang Sheng start a lawsuit with IBM? I was studying in the UK a few years ago and didn't pay attention to this."
Lin Xingzhi didn't know much about these things, so he asked curiously.
"Zhang Sheng developed a database software two years ago. At the same time, IBM in China, Rockwell Company in North America, and Caterpillar were also developing database software.
As a result, the database software developed by Zhang Sheng collided with the database software being developed by IBM. IBM shamelessly sued Zhang Sheng for infringement, and finally filed a lawsuit in Chou Country.
After winning the lawsuit against IBM, Zhang Sheng sold the compression software he developed to IBM for a sky-high price of US$1.5 billion, making his boss famous in the computer industry. I heard that he later developed some Unix systems and C languages.
I don’t quite understand either.”
The receptionist explained to Lin Xingzhi.
Lin Xingzhi was really shocked this time. He didn't know about the lawsuit, but he knew about IBM's compression software and the C language of Unix system.
When he was studying in the UK, he came into contact with these things. His tutor said that this was the future of computers, but he didn't pay attention to who the developers were.
After Lin Xingzhi chatted with the girl at the front desk for a few more words, the girl at the front desk left. After the girl at the front desk left, Lin Xingzhi picked up the form and filled in his personal information. At the same time, he secretly made up his mind to join the Jade Emperor Group.
At the same time, the printing director of Yuhuang Newspaper used the CAD template designed by Zhang Zhonghua to randomly fill in some text and pictures to print a newspaper, and then found Zhang Zhonghua with the newspaper.
Zhang Zhonghua was still a little excited when he looked at the newspaper in his hand. It was really rare that the newspaper was still comfortable to read in horizontal format.
This should be the first newspaper printed by a computer. It is very collectible.
"Boss, it's so convenient to use the CAD software you developed to print newspapers. When we used to do newspaper typesetting, it was very troublesome. We spent a lot of energy every time. Sometimes there were errors in the text and everyone just muddle along.
Now if something goes wrong, you can modify it directly on the computer, and the newspaper template can be modified or replaced at any time, and it is much more convenient to save it on tape."
The printing director of Jade Emperor Newspaper said excitedly to Zhang Zhonghua.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "The only thing that is a bit troublesome now is image processing. This is also the case with foreign English newspapers. There is nothing we can do about it until computers can process images in a few years."
Enough."
Zhang Zhonghua said regretfully.
"Boss, I think this is a lot more convenient. With the cooperation of fax machines and scanners, newspapers can be sold simultaneously around the world, which is much faster than the previous information transmission. Otherwise, even if the fax is sent over there, it will have to be retyped.
Not to mention the trouble, it will seriously affect the timeliness of news.”
Zhang Zhonghua is very satisfied with the former printing director of "Overseas Chinese Daily". He is indeed a technical talent who has been doing printing for 20 years. His ability is unparalleled, and his ability to accept new things is extremely strong. He can become proficient in it in just a few days.
The application uses cad software.
"Yes, print a few more copies of the newspaper for everyone to read, try to point out the shortcomings, and then continue to revise and try to make it as perfect as possible."
When Zhang Zhonghua was discussing the newspaper with the printing minister, the deputy manager of the newspaper knocked on the door and walked in.
Now "Overseas Chinese Daily" has been reborn from the ashes, making everyone in the company full of energy and looking much younger.
"Boss, a candidate has just come to interview for the position of deputy manager of the newspaper. Because of the position of the interview, you need to check it out. According to the resume, this is a top graduate from Cambridge Institute of Technology in the UK."
The deputy manager said to Zhang Zhonghua.
Zhang Zhonghua took the resume and read it. It was a bilingual resume introduction in Chinese and English. It was written quite carefully.
Lin Xingzhi, 30 years old, worked for "Ming Pao" as a data collector in 1960, and was later promoted to the editor position of "Ming Pao". In 1965, he went to Cambridge Institute of Technology in the UK to study economics. After graduating in 1969, he practiced in the UK
It's been a while, and I just returned to Hong Kong Island this year.
Zhang Zhonghua was secretly surprised when he saw this experience. He went from being a data collector to an editor in just a few years. He also studied economics at Cambridge in the UK for four years. He is a talented person.
In fact, what Zhang Zhonghua didn't know was that Lin Xingzhi was far more outstanding than he imagined. In the timeline without him, Lin Xingzhi returned to Hong Kong from the UK and joined the Ming Pao newspaper again.
With his outstanding ability, he was appreciated by Jin Yong, the boss of "Ming Pao", and became the deputy editor-in-chief in charge of the economic section of "Ming Pao".
In 1973, Lin Xingzhi left the "Ming Pao" newspaper and founded the "Hong Kong Economic News". This was also the first Chinese newspaper on Hong Kong Island to focus on financial news. It had some extraordinary authority on Hong Kong Island and was once regarded as
Selected as the most credible newspaper by industry insiders.
"Let's go to the interview together, get the newly printed newspaper, and let this top student in the industry who returned from studying in the UK give some advice."
Zhang Zhonghua walked to the small conference room with several key members of the newspaper. If this person was really capable, he would be the person in charge of the newspaper.
"Zhang Shenghao, Liu Shenghao, Hu Shenghao, and..."
Lin Xingzhi stood up immediately after seeing the four people entering the conference room and said that Zhang Zhonghua's photo was on some books and he knew it. Moreover, many people on Hong Kong Island did not know the Governor, but not many people did not know Zhang Zhonghua, at least in a slightly more prosperous place.
Everyone in the area knows Zhang Zhonghua. After all, there is a book by Zhang Zhonghua in the cfc, and there is a photo of Zhang Zhonghua in the book.
As for the others, they are all industry insiders. Lin Xingzhi had contact with them when he worked at Ming Pao in the past few years.
"Hello Mr. Lin, I am Gao Xiangyu. I used to be the director of the printing department of Overseas Chinese Daily, and now I am the director of the printing department of Yuhuang Printing Company."
The printing minister introduced himself to Lin Xingzhi.
"You're welcome, please take a seat."
Zhang Zhonghua took out five bottles of Coke from the freezer of Yuhuang Electric Appliances and handed them to everyone, then sat on the main seat.
After Lin Xingzhi introduced himself, several company executives who came for the interview began to ask some questions.
Lin Xingzhi is an industry insider. He also studied in the UK for four years and studied in a British newspaper office for nearly a year. His answers are very free and easy, and every sentence can get to the point. After all, the newspaper industry is located on Hong Kong Island.
Although it has existed for more than a hundred years, it is still very backward compared to Europe.
The four of them exchanged looks of satisfaction. They were very satisfied with their work and study experiences. Lin Xingzhi also worked part-time at Pearson during his college years. After graduation, he studied at The Times for half a year. His level exceeded
There are a lot of people here.
"I wonder what Lin Sheng thinks about the distribution channels of Jade Emperor Daily?"
Seeing that several newspaper executives were very satisfied with Lin Xingzhi, Zhang Zhonghua also asked his own questions.
"Sheng Zhang, Yuhuang Group itself has a large sales channel network, which can be sold through a combination of homemart convenience stores, CFC restaurants and existing traditional models.
】
However, in order not to impact traditional sales channels and cause a large number of relevant employees to lose their jobs, the group's unique sales channels, such as convenience stores and CFC restaurants, can only sell Yuhuang Daily for a long time. After all, if a large number of people are unemployed, it will be very difficult for the group.
The impact is bad.”
Lin Xingzhi spoke his thoughts eloquently, and Zhang Zhonghua was very satisfied with his answer, and he considered all aspects very carefully.
As for not making money by selling other newspapers? Zhang Zhonghua has no hope of making money by selling newspapers in the short term.
"So if Jade Emperor Newspaper wants to enter the global market, what should we pay attention to?"
"The most important thing for a newspaper company is talent and information channels. If Yuhuang Newspaper wants to enter the global market, it is completely necessary and capable to establish its own news agency.
After the group has a news agency, it also has a powerful information channel that can pay attention to global changes in real time. This will be of great help to the group in the future when it enters the stock market or the futures market.
News agencies can also provide news services to the outside world. Not only traditional media, but also funds, securities companies, financial companies, etc. can provide some services."
Zhang Zhonghua was very satisfied after listening to Lin Xingzhi's narration. He did not just want to set up a newspaper to sell newspapers, but wanted to set up an organization like the Associated Press, Reuters and other large news agencies. After all, he could only earn a few dollars by selling newspapers.
The money, even including advertising fees, is not much.
Afterwards, everyone in the newspaper office began to discuss various issues with Lin Xingzhi, and the chat became more and more enthusiastic. Especially Lin Xingzhi had very unique insights into economics, which made Zhang Zhonghua want to transfer him to work at Yuhuang Securities.
Already.
"Mr. Lin, I am very satisfied with you. You will temporarily serve as the general manager of Jade Emperor Newspaper. Do you have any requirements regarding salary?"
In the end, Zhang Zhonghua made the decision to let Lin Xingzhi temporarily serve as the general manager of Yuhuang Newspaper to see the effects.
Zhang Zhonghua's question put Lin Xingzhi in a bit of trouble. You must know that when the Jade Emperor Group was recruiting in the UK, the salary for the general manager position was about one thousand pounds, which is equivalent to nearly fifteen thousand Hong Kong dollars. Hong Kong Island can offer such a salary.
High salary?
Zhang Zhonghua looked at Lin Xingzhi's somewhat embarrassed expression and understood what he meant. The salary abroad was very different from that in Southeast Asia, and Lin Xingzhi knew the salary of the Jade Emperor Group in major universities.
Moreover, Zhang Zhonghua didn’t know much about the salary standards set by the Group Administration Department and Finance Department, so he asked the newspaper management around him: “Has the Group Finance Department formulated the salary standards for Yuhuang Newspaper Company?
