章節 15: Chapter 15: Conviction
Upon seeing Xia Yu's calm nod, everyone's expressions changed.
They were in disbelief, as the notebook didn't seem like something a young person would have written. But looking at the notebook in their hands, reason told them Xia Yu was indeed speaking the truth.
With this realization, they were all eager. The youngest among them, Sun Changfa from the distribution department, couldn't help but ask quietly, "Boss, didn't you make a lot of money?"
Hearing Sun Changfa's question, everyone turned their attention to Xia Yu, their ears perked up, fearing they might miss a word.
Xia Yu smiled faintly and replied casually, "Yes, I made some money."
"How much?" Sun Changfa asked impatiently, momentarily ignoring whether his eagerness might displease Xia Yu.
"It's not much, just about sixty thousand Hong Kong dollars invested, and we made around five hundred thousand," Xia Yu waved his hand nonchalantly, rounding up the 460,000 earned to 500,000.
Six thousand making five hundred thousand!!! That's an over eight-fold return!
Hearing this number, everyone's breath caught, and then their breathing became rapid. Their gazes towards Xia Yu were filled with fiery admiration.
The boss is a stock market guru! How can we get the boss to lead us to wealth?
At this moment, everyone was thinking along these lines.
Xia Yu saw through their thoughts clearly.
This was an opportunity to ignite their enthusiasm for work!
He smiled lightly and said, "In the future, I will definitely set up a securities company. When the time comes for public fundraising (not equity investment), it's not impossible to lower the threshold for you, but that's for later. For now, your task is to develop 'Jiuding Media' well, save up your salaries, so that when I give you opportunities, you can seize them."
"Don't worry, boss, we will definitely work hard."
"Yes, boss, rest assured."
Hearing Xia Yu's words, everyone nodded eagerly, not wanting to miss out on any opportunity.
"Profit drives people's hearts. Even if there are no direct benefits, as long as the promise is big enough, it can still fool people. In the past, many internet companies used PPTs to attract investments, fooling investors with elaborate promises. Making promises is a skill!" Xia Yu thought with a smile.
As for making them rich, why not?
When he starts the investment company in the future, raising funds from outsiders is just part of the process. Why not channel the funds into the company and bind the employees to it?
As for the risks and consequences of investment failures?
Not an issue!
"Alright, you just need to know this news, don't spread it. The more people know, the fewer opportunities you'll have."
"Now, take a look at this 'Searching for the Qin' manuscript. This is the content for the novel section."
Upon hearing Xia Yu's words, Zhao Cheng and the others reluctantly put aside the stock market notes and looked at the manuscript. As they read, they became more engrossed and were deeply impressed by the end.
From their expert perspective, the novel was at a masterful level, not inferior to works by Jin Yong or Gu Long. They were genuinely impressed that the boss could produce such high-level writing.
Then, when they saw the author's name, which was the boss's name, they were astonished. They hadn't expected the young boss to write such high-quality novels.
At this point, they were genuinely convinced by Xia Yu, the new boss.
Of course, for them, especially Zhao Cheng, with the boss around, both the financial/business and novel pillars of 'Jiuding Daily' were firmly established, and they were substantial pillars.
He had a premonition that 'Jiuding Daily' would definitely soar to great heights. He was confident about the newspaper's future and believed that making it into the top ten newspapers in Xiangjiang was very possible, just a matter of time.
"Alright, let's continue with the task arrangements." Xia Yu clapped his hands to refocus their attention and continued.
"Sun Changfa from the distribution department, Li Bin from the communications department, Huang Wen Shan from the advertising department, and Sun Lei from the printing department, you four need to recruit vigorously and expand your departments. My requirement is only one: maintain quality and quantity, no shoddy work. Recruit at a scale comparable to 'Oriental Daily.' Understand?" Xia Yu said with a serious expression.
"Understood!" The four responded in unison, their chests puffed out.
"Sun Lei, ensure that the printing machines in your department are all checked. Can you guarantee printing 200,000 copies per day?" Xia Yu looked at Sun Lei with a serious expression.
"Rest assured, boss. Although many machines have been out of service, I've kept them maintained. The printing plant's maximum capacity can reach 250,000 copies," Sun Lei said confidently, not questioning why the daily print volume was only a few thousand but needed to be increased to 200,000 copies.
"Hmm, pay attention. If the machines can't keep up, report in advance to purchase new ones. After this period, all printing machines should be replaced with the latest models to increase efficiency. You need to recruit more people quickly to prevent a shortage," Xia Yu advised.
"Understood!"
"Alright, tomorrow's issue of 'Wenming Daily' will still be printed as usual, but it's the last one. Sun Xin, arrange for someone to write an article explaining the suspension and the renaming of the newspaper, then show me the draft." Xia Yu instructed Sun Xin, the news department head.
"Okay, boss!" Sun Xin immediately responded.
"Zhao Cheng, expedite the process. Once you finish the layout for tomorrow's final issue of 'Wenming Daily,' start editing the first issue of 'Jiuding Daily,' and print out a sample for my review. Got it?" Xia Yu instructed Zhao Cheng, the editorial department head.
After Zhao Cheng also received the instructions and confirmed there were no issues, everyone left the office excitedly, heading to their respective positions.
Seeing their department heads smiling and enthusiastic, the other employees felt reassured. When their department heads assigned tasks, everyone understood that the new boss was gearing up for major changes. Under their department heads' guidance, everyone began working fervently.
Once they were all gone, Xia Yu leaned back in his chair and relaxed, massaging his temples.
Despite having memories from previous lives, the sheer volume made it difficult to fully adapt. Moreover, being an ordinary person in his past life, the sudden transition was overwhelming.
"It seems I need to keep revisiting and organizing my memories when I have spare time. It's not about mastering everything at once, but at least getting a general understanding of the memories, so I can utilize them effectively. Missing opportunities would be a shame…" Xia Yu mused, eyes closed.
After a short rest, Xia Yu resumed his busy schedule. The business was just starting, and he couldn't afford to relax. There was still a lot to do.
For one, he needed to draft content for the financial/business section of the first issue of 'Jiuding Daily.'
It wasn't that the analysis of Bluewater Corporation in the notebook was poor, but the timing was off. Given that the first issue would be published in about five days, the information would be outdated and might have been thoroughly reviewed.
Using that case would seem like rehashing old content and fail to make a significant impact.
In Xia Yu's plan, the content of the first issue of 'Jiuding Daily,' especially the financial/business and novel sections, needed to be strikingly impressive to attract readers and achieve immediate success.
He wasn't worried about the novel, with 'Searching for the Qin' in hand, that was secured.
However, for the financial section, achieving immediate success and even causing a sensation required careful thought.
Xia Yu thought for a while, then called an employee in, sent them to buy a large number of newspapers, and started browsing through them. He took out a new notebook and began recording and analyzing.
After quickly reviewing all the newspapers, Xia Yu was not satisfied, so he arranged some tasks and went to observe the Kowloon Stock Exchange in person.
