章節 172: Chapter 172: A Top Talent Yet to Rise
*"Knock, knock!"*
As Xia Yu was immersed in drawing, he heard a knock on the door. When he saw that it was Zhang Lei, he was momentarily surprised, put down his pen, and said, "Come in!"
"Boss!" Zhang Lei, holding a document, stood respectfully in front of Xia Yu.
"Is this the plan you've prepared?"
Xia Yu glanced at the document in Zhang Lei's hand, surprised that Zhang Lei had managed to prepare a plan in just a few days, along with surveying the surrounding land. If he had truly completed this, it would be impressive efficiency.
The only concern was whether the quality matched the speed.
"Yes, Boss. Please have a look. This is the plan I've prepared."
Zhang Lei nodded seriously and handed the plan to Xia Yu with both hands.
Xia Yu took it directly, without saying much, and opened the first page to begin reviewing it.
*"Rustle… rustle…"*
For a while, the office was filled only with the sounds of breathing and the slight rustling of paper.
Watching Xia Yu continue to flip through the plan Zhang Lei had prepared, Zhang Lei couldn't help but hold his breath, clenching his fists tightly, his heart racing as he observed Xia Yu's expression.
He had put in a hundred and twenty percent effort into this plan. As soon as the boss left the previous day, he started working on it immediately, and even continued working on it at home after office hours, striving to make it as perfect as possible to satisfy the boss.
Before coming today, he had reviewed the plan dozens of times, knowing every detail by heart and correcting every mistake he could find. He had done his best, and now it was just a matter of waiting for the verdict.
Whether the effort of these past few days would bear fruit or lead to failure depended entirely on the boss's response!
After a long time, Xia Yu closed the plan and still had a neutral expression. He looked at Zhang Lei, who was trying hard to remain calm, but his tightly clenched fists betrayed his nervousness.
Xia Yu sized up Zhang Lei and, noticing his changing expression, finally showed a smile and said, "From this plan, I can see that you put a lot of effort into it. It's very good, and I'm quite satisfied!"
Upon hearing Xia Yu's words, Zhang Lei felt his blood rush to his head. He was so excited that his face turned red, standing upright with a smile he couldn't hide.
"Thank you, Boss!"
Zhang Lei exclaimed.
"Follow this plan for execution. First, buy the land. I'll allocate ten million Hong Kong dollars for the land purchase. The costs for printing equipment and factory construction will be covered by Jiuding Media Group. Build the first phase of the two factories for Jiuding Publishing Company and Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. The construction will be outsourced. My requirements are twofold: first, it must be fast, and second, it must ensure quality. If these two points are met, then choose the lower price."
After speaking, Xia Yu signed the plan and handed it back to Zhang Lei.
"Make a copy of the plan and give it to Yan Wenhan, but the main responsibility lies with you. Don't let me down!"
Xia Yu said, looking sharply at Zhang Lei.
"Thank you, Boss. I guarantee not to disappoint you!"
Zhang Lei responded loudly. He had succeeded, and the boss had entrusted this task to him, which made him overjoyed.
But to appear more composed in front of the boss, he tried to look as serious as possible.
However, the joy in his eyes and the corners of his mouth gave away his true feelings, which Xia Yu noticed but chose to ignore. It was natural for Zhang Lei to be happy; if he wasn't, that would be a problem.
"Go ahead and work hard!"
Xia Yu encouraged him and waved his hand at Zhang Lei.
The ten million Hong Kong dollars for land purchase was planned to come from Xia Yu's account at Jiuding Securities, as Jiuding Media Group could not provide it.
For equipment and factory construction costs, Xia Yu intended to use funds from Jiuding Media Group, given that the printing factory was still under Jiuding Media Group.
Although the newly established factories were for Jiuding Publishing Company and Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., and not for Jiuding Media Group, which could affect Jiuding Media Group's interests, these companies were wholly owned by Xia Yu. Despite some confusion, it was his prerogative.
Moreover, this was not Xia Yu's preferred approach but a necessity. These were new companies, expanding rapidly and needing constant funding. Even though Jiuding Media Group had strong financial capabilities, it had not accumulated much wealth yet. Rapid development required continuous investment from Xia Yu.
The same went for other companies. Initially, they all needed Xia Yu to allocate funds across various companies and utilize them as much as possible.
To change this situation, Xia Yu needed to wait until the entrepreneurial phase was over, consolidate financial control into the parent company, and then distribute funds uniformly, similar to how a Ministry of Finance would allocate development funds to state-owned enterprises.
Currently, in this special period, faster development meant cutting through red tape and handling matters in a special way!
The only issue was that Yan Wenhan received one percent of Jiuding Media Group's profit distribution, which could be affected by this arrangement.
Xia Yu was aware of this and planned to settle this matter with Yan Wenhan later, ensuring his interests were protected and not hurting his feelings.
At worst, Xia Yu could give Yan Wenhan a big bonus at the end of the year. He didn't care much about that amount. One percent of the profit distribution was not significant, and the difference wouldn't be much. He certainly wouldn't let Yan Wenhan suffer any loss.
In the afternoon, Xia Yu received news that the buildings for Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. and Jiuding Publishing Company had been decorated and arranged, and he was invited for inspection.
The new company buildings were not far from Jiuding Media Group's building. Xia Yu arrived in less than three minutes by car and quickly completed the inspection.
Looking at the neatly arranged desks, Xia Yu smiled.
The printing factory construction was already underway, the office spaces were ready, and the basic hardware conditions were met. Now, it was just a matter of finding the right people.
Once he recruited the heads of the two companies, he could start the recruitment process for the rest of the staff.
If he started recruiting employees now, Xia Yu alone wouldn't be able to manage it, and even if he did hire people, managing them would be difficult. The companies wouldn't quickly get on track, and it would waste his time.
The recruitment advertisement for Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. in *Jiuding Daily* had already set a specific recruitment date for convenience. The date hadn't arrived yet!
The efficiency of Guanghui International was still quite fast. The next morning, as soon as Xia Yu arrived at the company, he received a call from Guanghui International, which had already identified three candidates interested in the position of General Manager at Jiuding Publishing Company.
Soon, the three resumes were in front of Xia Yu. The first resume made him smile. He couldn't help but feel pleased because the candidate was someone he had heard of, a prominent figure in the future.
"Fortune favors me. This top talent has yet to rise, and I've found him. I can't let him slip away. With him, Jiuding Publishing Company's development is absolutely guaranteed!"
Xia Yu smiled and muttered to himself with anticipation.
