Chapter 423 Boarding the Thief Ship

The headquarters of Qilin Newspaper was arranged by Yin Jun in his base camp - under Liufu Mountain in Tianshuiwei.

There are only Kirin culture factories around here, and the surrounding residents have deeply benefited from the presence of Kirin printing factory, so they are very supportive of Kirin culture.

Coupled with the uniform training and running of the security personnel on weekdays, and stricter security measures, there is no safer office space than this.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that this place is still a bit desolate, there is basically nothing else except the factory. Yin Jun would like to arrange the group of technical nerds from the animation studio to come here.

When the factory expansion started in September, the headquarters of Qilin Newspaper started construction.

At the beginning, others didn't know what the five-storey building was used for. It wasn't until Le Yiling said that he would make a newspaper that everyone suddenly realized.

Yin Jun specially asked the designer to design this building with an area of ​​up to 1000 square meters according to the American newspaper building. The design is very spacious. After the decoration, each area has its own independent space and very comfortable The field of vision will not be crowded and full of depression like ordinary newspaper offices in Xiangjiang.

A group of recruited employees came to see the environment here, and immediately fell in love with it.

Although it is a bit remote here, the office environment like this is impeccable.

Most of them have worked in other newspapers for a long time.

Other bosses are not so good, 5 people can squeeze in an office of 200 square feet, which is not like now, the office is spacious and bright, one person can have a big desk, even the aisle is spacious, how much Comfortable?

In addition, Yin Jun rented single rooms of more than 300 square feet to many bachelors in the nearby village, and provided reimbursement for car and gas expenses to those with families, which made them even more satisfied.

The bachelors who live here temporarily don't have to worry about being away from the bustling area of ​​the city for a long time.

At the end of December, Kowloon Bus has already started to arrange 25 stops for the new route. The starting point is the gate of Kirin Printing Factory, the ending point is the Star Ferry Station in Tsim Sha Tsui, and it passes through Yuen Long, Kowloon, Mong Kok and other areas.

After the New Year, various line tests began in January. According to the announcement of Kowloon Bus, the official operation will be on the first day of the Chinese New Year at the latest.

Now people in Tin Shui Wai and Yuen Long take the free trial bus from time to time to go around the city.

Many elderly people have not been to places like Central for ten or twenty years. They took a bus to Tsim Sha Tsui and then took another bus to the city to take a look. They were so happy.

Because of the novelty of the old people, the bus starts operating at 6:00 in the morning and closes at 24:00 in the evening. It has to leave every 10 minutes during the peak period. It is estimated that the number of additional buses will be around 50, all of which are imported from the UK The high-level new buses, together with the transfer station, repair shop, accessories, etc., cost up to 700 million Hong Kong dollars, and the installment payment will take 15 years to be paid off. This will suddenly drag down the profit forecast of Kowloon Bus next year. , is almost doomed to be unprofitable.

As soon as the news came out, stockholders criticized Kowloon Bus one after another, and many people even sued Kowloon Bus for misusing funds, intentionally causing losses, and harming the interests of small and medium-sized people.

But this is rare. The government also praised Kowloon Bus.

Because tens of thousands of ordinary people have come out of the suburbs, it is of great benefit to the urban construction of Xiangjiang, the construction of the transportation network, and so on.

Yuen Long, New Territories, is an area that the government planned to slowly develop in the 1980s. Today, Kowloon Bus is taking the lead in helping the government revitalize the New Territories, so that the traffic will be smoother, people will communicate more, and more people can enjoy the daytime. Entering the city to work, leaving the city at night to live in the suburbs - this has always been advocated by the government.

What's more, Kirin Culture, the controlling shareholder of Kowloon Bus, has successively set up several large factories around Tin Shui Wai, the poorest area in Xiangjiang, and recruited thousands of workers. It is too late for the government to praise and encourage them, so how can they say that they did something wrong?

Oh, by the way, Kowloon Bus's huge loan of 700 million yuan was borrowed from Heung Kong Commercial Bank. After Yin Jun owns Kowloon Bus, of course he has to take care of his own people when dealing with the bank.

With such a huge loan, Xiangjiang Commercial Bank's profit this year will definitely rise to a new level. Chen Youhan and Kang Xinyuan laughed from ear to ear.

Lei Juekun is not only working on this route. After the Spring Festival, the second route from Qilin Printing Factory to the entrance of the Central MTR station will also be completed. This time, there will be as many as 33 stations in Yau Ma Tei. There must be at least 80 additional double-decker buses.

For the various requests for such a line, the Xiangjiang Government Transport Management Bureau is also very supportive, and the expected loan, station construction, etc. have also given the green light.

Again, the Kowloon Bus first helps revitalize the New Territories, so that the population and economy of the New Territories can flow. This is definitely what the government wants to see.

Lei Juekun was a little stunned when he saw it. He thought "it's not my company anyway", so he was extravagant. He thought that the Transport Management Department would blame Kowloon Bus for being too aggressive, but he got a lot of awards instead. The praise made him have to sigh, it's really brave enough to be full!

...

Come back to Qilin Newspaper.

After the middle and high-level recruits were completed, Yin Jun and Le Yiling called them for a meeting.

It can also be regarded as a mobilization meeting.

One advantage of Xiangjiang is that it is basically a private enterprise, so there is basically no phenomenon of relying on the old to sell the old to the boss.

When more than a dozen middle and high-level officials saw Yin Jun, they offered their knees without hesitation, and greeted Yin Jun with smiles.

Don't think that they are incompetent because they are so humble. In fact, those who are incompetent basically can't get past Sister Le.

She has carefully selected the staff, and any one of them will be a well-known role in the Hong Kong newspaper industry.

For example, the 44-year-old editor-in-chief Hong Yichen started his career as an intern reporter at the age of 15, became a full-time reporter after 5 years, became an editor after 10 years, became the editor-in-chief after 15 years, became the editor-in-chief after 20 years, and changed jobs at the age of 40. When I went to "Ming Pao", I became the executive editor-in-chief of Ming Pao.

He abruptly brought a low-ranking newspaper to the top 20 in the industry. If the boss was not willing to invest, he could go one step further.

After arriving at "Ming Pao", it took Hong Yichen 4 years to bring the already somewhat decadent "Ming Pao" to the top three in terms of sales, and it has grown stronger and stronger.

That is to say, Jin Yong doesn't pay much attention to talents, and always feels that "Ming Pao" is all due to his own credit, and likes to intervene in management affairs, so Hong Yichen feels that his development potential here is limited, because Le Yiling's high annual salary of 500,000 After digging corners, they came to the newly established "Kirin Daily".

Hong Yiquan came to "Kirin Daily" not because of money, but because he felt that Yin Jun was very willing to delegate power to his subordinates and was willing to invest, which was more suitable for his future development.

Yin Jun and Le Yiling chose him as the editor-in-chief of "Kirin Daily", not only because of Hong Yiquan's outstanding ability, but also because of Hong Yiquan's thirty years of working career. Few people said that he was not kind and lenient, and Hong Yiquan never held grudges and could tolerate the unruly talents under his command.

The editor-in-chief of a newspaper office happens to be these qualities that are the most important. Only by being able to accommodate and use talents can the newspaper office have endless talents and grow stronger day by day.

Apart from Hong Yiquan, Le Yiling also hired two deputy editor-in-chiefs and eight category editors. There were also specially hired professional managers for logistics and finance, but Ding Linxiang and Tian Jiachun were still in charge of supervising these two departments.

"This is the content page of "Kirin Daily" that I set up. You all have a look, and you can express your opinions now."

Yin Jun first asked Tian Jiachun to send out a thick manuscript.

Those present are all senior people in the newspaper industry, and they don't have that much respect for Yin Jun, who has just entered the industry. Now this manuscript is a blow to them.

Hearing Yin Jun talking so carelessly, the content layout has been designed, a group of people have a stiff face, and can only hold back their words.

But when Tian Jiachun posted such an A4-sized and thicker than a novel, everyone including Hong Yiquan looked solemn.

All media people who deal with newspaper news know that Yin Jun is very careful about the script. He is too careful. A TV drama's script and sub-camera can have more than 200 pages.

Such a detailed script and plot details are also the necessary guarantee for the creation of super magical dramas such as "Chu Liuxiang" and "Shanghai Beach".

But none of their chief editors would have imagined that Yin Jun could even do the planning of the newspaper so carefully and earnestly.

For a while, no one spoke anymore, and they all began to look down at the plan written by Yin Jun.

Watching everyone's more and more surprised expressions, and then gradually turning into wry smiles, the eyes looking at Yin Jun are no longer full of confidence, but full of fear and amazement, Tian Jiachun's heart is full of pride.

She is proud of Yin Jun, and also proud of being able to serve such a boss.

When she took this content and layout plan back then, after reading it, there was only one word to describe her feeling-worship!

Tian Jiachun doesn't read too many newspapers, but she can also feel that if she wants to follow the plan written by Yin Jun, not to mention Xiangjiang, there are few newspapers in the world that can reach such a level.

This is all for the world's number one newspaper.

Although Chinese newspapers cannot become the number one in the world, at least in the Chinese world, there is no better one.

"Jun Shao, if we do this, I'm worried that our cost will be very high." Ten minutes later, Hong Yiquan was the first to express his opinion, "Xiangjiang is only this big, with only 5 million people. If it comes out, it’s a complete waste! I think this newspaper can be eaten in Japan or in the United States!”

"Don't waste, we will do our best to let others know that Xiangjiang can produce the best newspaper!" Yin Jun said, "You just do it, I am not afraid of any losses, and the breakeven point will be reached within half a year One year, two years if one year fails, I will not make profit requirements for you."

Hearing what the boss said, Hong Yiquan and the rest of the deputy editor-in-chief and editor-in-chief immediately looked a lot better.

They are afraid that Yin Jun hopes to invest a lot and then get a big return immediately, which is very unscientific.

A serious person like Le Yiling sneered inwardly upon hearing this.

If you know that Ah Jun is going to be a free newspaper, which is a big challenge to the current order of the newspaper industry, are you still in the mood to laugh?

"I don't need you to be busy with the advertising business for the time being. I have my own way." Yin Jun raised his hand and looked at the editor-in-chief in charge of the advertisement, "Editor Yang, you will be responsible for the production and handling of the advertisement page."

"No problem." Editor-in-Chief Yang Qinsheng said straightforwardly, "I have never seen the promotion and production methods you have designed in my life. If I take them out, they will definitely attract the attention of Xiangjiang people!"

He used to work in "Oriental Daily" and felt that advertising was very boring, but Yin Jun's several advertising sales methods were very novel, and he thought it looked good, let alone ordinary people.

Not only in terms of advertising, but also the editors-in-chief of other sections have the same feeling.

They all agreed that Yin Jun regarded newspaper making as an art.

Such an exquisite and grand planning is completely without any pickiness.

"Are there any other questions?" Yin Jun asked.

"Miss Le mentioned before that we plan to plan for one and a half months, and we will officially publish it in March... Regarding the distribution... I heard that there seems to be some targeted strategies from the Distribution Association..." Another deputy editor-in-chief Ding Yuewei asked hesitantly, "If the sales channels are not smooth enough, it may have a big impact on us."

"You don't have to worry about this. We have the most comprehensive distribution channels in Xiangjiang, and you will know when the time comes. The group of people in the Distribution Association are just clowns, and they can't make waves!" Yin Jun said lightly.

Everyone knows that Yin Jun is not a boastful person. Seeing that he is so confident, the editors below couldn't help giving Yin Jun a thumbs up in their hearts.

To be able to settle the distribution channels before the newspaper was released, Jun Shao really did things properly.

It's just that these people didn't notice that Yin Junke never said "release", he said "issue".

When Yin Jun explained this clearly to them, it must be time for the newspaper to do it completely.

At that time, even if they want to get off the ship, they will have no choice.

"You can start planning in these two days. There are many unrealistic places in my plan. Everyone will modify it according to this, but I still hope that the main expression will remain unchanged." Yin Jun said, one by one My son looked over and saw that they were all nodding, and then continued: "You still have less than 2 months to go, and the "Kirin Daily" will be listed in March. What I hope to see is that you are full of sincerity. works, rather than perfunctory."

"Don't worry, Qi Shao!" Bai Tenggao, the deputy editor-in-chief in charge of the news and financial section, said seriously, "As long as the company gives us enough support, we will definitely be able to produce the best newspaper!"

Bai Tenggao is from the "Eastern Daily", which has always been known for its serious reports, and he is strict in what he says and does.

He has said this, which proves from another aspect that everyone is very confident in the various new ways of running newspapers proposed by Yin Jun.

"good."

Yin Jun naturally knew how to boost morale at this time, "Wait until the results come out... Well, it's popularity, not whether it makes money... The company will definitely reward everyone with big red envelopes!"

The people below all smiled when they heard the words.

Everyone works hard, makes good grades, and gets more red envelope rewards. This is a good thing!
