Hong Kong Island's wealthy era

Chapter 23 1975
There is no big stick, only candied dates!
The real big stick doesn’t need to be said. Dissatisfied employees can be fired directly, saving you from killing one piece with one stick.

As for direct salary increases, Lei Liquan considered using this method to stabilize people's hearts.

But no matter now or in the future, the boss will always raise the salary after the employees have made achievements; otherwise, after giving you a salary increase, will you still have the motivation?Employees will only feel that they deserve it!
After the meeting ended, all the employees looked at each other in confusion, wanting to discuss it, but worrying about getting into trouble with the new boss. After Lei Liquan led all the management to the conference room, everyone was upset!
……

in the conference room.

Including Lei Liquan, there were eight people in total.

Lei Liquan said: "Introduce yourself and the department you are responsible for!"

After the seven people took turns to introduce, Lei Liquan finally understood the operation of the newspaper in this era, including the finance department, news gathering and editing department, news editing department, circulation department, communications department, advertising department, and printing department, a total of seven departments.

After understanding the situation, Lei Liquan already had a complete case in mind.

Lei Liquan said: "I have established Thunder Newspaper Company to make "Tiantian Daily" a more corporate newspaper. In the future, Lei Liquan will also publish evening newspapers, weeklies, magazines, etc."

After establishing the company, Lei Liquan will look for two deputies, one to assist him in taking charge of the company, and one to be in charge of the content of the newspaper; the positions of these two deputies are deputy general manager and editor-in-chief, ranking above these seven people.

In addition, Lei Liquan plans to set up a personnel department, so that he will have effective control over the newspaper.

"Minister Sun, let me expand the scale of your news gathering and editing department, at least to reach a team of more than [-] people in Hong Kong. I ask you to speed up and focus on the key points. Regarding news gathering and editing, I have a few ideas. The news should highlight the "new" and pay attention to It is timely and relevant. There is also content that citizens like to hear and see. There is also the need to collect and compile 'breaking news' as material, so as to attract people's attention."

Sun Wangsheng was the head of the news gathering and editing department. He was a little confused as to what 'explosive' meant, but he did not question it on the spot and replied: "Boss, okay."

"Minister Zhang, the newsroom is very important and needs to be doubled in size! But to expand if conditions permit, first I roughly divide the content of "Tiantian Daily" into current affairs, finance, entertainment, etc. Current affairs is the news I just talked about The editorial department mainly collects, edits and reprints, and finance requires hiring some famous people to come to our newspaper to write financial news; there is also an entertainment section, which has multiple contents. We invite professionals to publish horse and dog news in daily newspapers, as well as celebrities. Gossip and novels...enrich our content."

The boss still has to give enough face, so Zhang Jiancheng said: "The boss is right. If you want to increase the sales of newspapers, rich content is the key."

"I don't need your newspaper to make profits for the time being. I only pursue circulation and influence."

Although Lei Liquan did not know the complete strategy of "Oriental Daily" in his previous life, he also knew several important messages: rapidly expanding the news gathering and editing team, creating fast-acting and wide-ranging news content, and keeping the news short and focused.
Since Lei Liquan knew the success of the "Oriental Daily" in his previous life, he would naturally use it for his own use; not only that, Lei Liquan also combined the media tycoon Rupert Murdoch's newspaper running style-explosive news.
In short, the success of "Tiantian Daily" is inevitable!

Lei Liquan's instructions made several people in the conference room think that this might be a businessman running a newspaper.

After a few days of getting to know each other, Lei Liquan promoted Zhang Jiancheng to be the acting editor-in-chief of "Tiantian Daily" and helped him take charge of the daily newspaper.

By the time Lei Liquan had finished handling the affairs of "Tiantian Daily", the Chinese New Year was only a few days away.

……

In 1974, life was very difficult for most people in Hong Kong. The stock market kept falling with no end in sight.

The real estate industry is also becoming more and more sluggish, and house and land prices have been falling. Some real estate developers have cut off their assets to survive, and some have directly declared bankruptcy.

Crisis also contains major opportunities, and we can quickly grow ourselves in the crisis.

Starting from 75, Hong Kong will become more beautiful year by year.

The total assets of the Lei family of Kowloon Construction Industry were only over [-] million.In terms of Xiangjiang, it is better than the best and more than the worst.After this year's development, Lei Liquan's assets alone exceed [-] million.Moreover, this year also allowed the Lei family to steal the limelight, and their influence in Xiangjiang also increased significantly.

At the end of the year, Lei Liquan also plans to have a good New Year. The company's affairs have been arranged. The heads of each department will handle the affairs, so Lei Liquan doesn't have to worry about it.

In a blink of an eye, New Year's Eve is here.

This year is Lei Liquan’s first year as an independent entrepreneur.

Still two people in a deserted place.

Cheers, previous life!
Cheers, world!
……

Starting from the second day of the first lunar month, Lei Juehua took Lei Liquan to pay New Year's greetings. He also officially pushed Lei Liquan to the front desk and handed over some of the Lei family's connections to Lei Liquan.

Lei Juehua also inadvertently said that Lei Liquan was now in sole control, and he hoped that the elders in Xiangjiang would raise Lei Liquan's idea.Everyone immediately understood that Lei Liquan, who had just passed the weak crown, could now represent the Lei family.

The people who were able to get Lei Juehua to pay a special visit were all people with high status in Xiangjiang. Lei Liquan did not dare to neglect and respectfully observed the courtesy of a junior.

After celebrating the New Year, it is already the end of the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month.

……

After the Lantern Festival, Lei Liquan came to the Thunder Holdings office.

Lei Liquan picked up the "Tiantian Daily" on the table and flipped through it.This is what Lei Liquan specially asked Tian Yun to do. The first thing he does when he comes to the office every day is to read the daily newspaper.Newspapers include, of course, Oriental Daily, Ming Pao and several other newspapers.

He just wanted to follow the newspaper every day in this way.

Today's newspapers are very simple, with only four pages per pair, unlike later generations that had ten or dozens of pages.

"Tiantian Daily" already looks a bit like "Oriental Daily", but it still lacks innovation. This can only be done slowly.

After a while, Lin Changming brought someone to report on the work.It is the newly recruited construction engineer Liu Sanshui and Liu Gong, who will be responsible for on-site supervision of future development properties.

Holding a large number of drawings in his hands, Lin Changming reported to Lei Liquan and said: "Lei Sheng, the design sketch of Taikoo Valley has been drawn."

After saying that, he gave Lei Liquan the money and spread it out in the corner of his desk.

Lei Liquan walked over happily and took a look. The pictures were full of numbers and explanations.For a moment, my mind was full of "mosquitoes are flying", but I immediately pretended to be calm.

Said: "Open the floor plan and introduce it to me."

Lin Changming immediately opened the plane.

"According to your explanation, Lei Sheng, the total housing estate includes 12 residential buildings with 28 to 32 floors, with a total of more than 2800 units. Each unit ranges from 500 square feet to 700 square feet. In addition, there are two attached buildings. Level parking and garden terrace.”

Lei Liquan nodded pretending to understand.

Lin Changming continued.

"At the bottom of this housing estate is a two-story large parking lot and a shopping mall of [-] square feet. There are also ten small shops of about [-] square feet on the street front."

"The parking lot has about 3000 parking spaces."

Lei Liquan thought for a moment and asked, "Is the plot ratio adequately designed?"

"It has been fully designed, please rest assured Lei, we will not waste an inch of land."

"What name do you plan to use to apply for this housing estate?"

Lin Changming proposed to use Lei Kee Estate, and Liu Shuitian proposed to use Jiuzhou Garden Estate...

Lei Liquan made the decision on the spot and said: "We will use the Jiuzhou Garden Housing Village plan and submit it to the Civil Affairs Department for construction approval."

After Lin Changming left, he called his father's phone number.Communicate on the phone about the start of construction in Taikoo Valley.

Lei’s father said that he could bring money to enter the market in advance.The communication is really pleasant, which is the great thing about a family business.
