Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

The preparations for the branch of "Readers Times" in Nihong are going smoothly. Although the five major newspapers have secretly put pressure on those who want to apply for "Readers Times", most of them are still very confident about the future of this newspaper. It is optimistic, so many of them persisted and did not leave halfway.

Among these people, Gu Qiaoda was one of Lin Daoqiu's favorites, and even Lin Daoqiu thought that he might take over as the editor-in-chief of the "Readers Times" in the neon branch.

Guqiao Tatsuya also received pressure from some people during this period, but he didn't take it seriously, but honestly wrote reports and plans at home.

When Gu Qiaoda also handed over the written report and plan to Lin Daoqiu, he didn't know what happened outside.

Lin Daoqiu called him over for an interview after reading the report and planning written by Tatsuya Furuhashi.

Because he had worked in a newspaper before, Guqiao Tatsu also had a good understanding of the topics that ordinary people like.

Entertainment topics are one of the highlights of Guqiao Tatsuya. After all, although political and economic news is very important, most ordinary people don't care about it.

Compared with the world economic and political situation, they care more about what happens around them, such as gossip, entertainment, life, fashion and so on.

And Guqiao Tatsuya's planning book intends to let "Readers Times" make efforts in this direction, let "Readers Times" give priority to entertainment and life in neon, and rank second in terms of political and economic news after.

If it is done according to Guqiao Tatsuya's plan, "Readers Times" is likely to become a comprehensive newspaper that is very popular with the local people after years of accumulation, and it will also have a certain influence, but Compared with the five major newspapers, I am afraid it will be a lot worse.

After all, in terms of gossip, "Reader's Times" can't compare with "Weekly Wenchun". As for politics and economics, there are five major newspapers on top, and the rest may not be able to compete with others.

So Lin Daoqiu came to a conclusion after reading Tatsuya Furuhashi's plan, that is, "Readers Times" will be a second-rate newspaper no matter how well it develops in Neon in the future.

Thinking of this, Lin Daoqiu's enthusiasm for continuing to invest and spend a lot of money suddenly weakened a lot.

"Your planning book has expounded from various aspects the points that "Readers Times" needs to develop in the future. After reading it, I think your writing is good."

Gu Qiaoda also straightened his back and sat opposite Lin Daoqiu. When he heard the compliment from the other party, he didn't show any expression of joy or excitement, but looked very calm.

Because Gu Qiaoda also knew very well that although Lin Daoqiu praised him, the other party's praise was actually very limited, at least there was still some distance from the level that Gu Qiaoda also wanted.

The reason for such a result is probably that Lin Daoqiu was not surprised by the plan he wrote, he just thought it was well written, that's all.

"Mr. Lin, do you think there is anything I need to improve?"

Gu Qiaoda also didn't regard Lin Daoqiu as a person who didn't know anything. After all, the other party was not only his boss, but also a very successful businessman in film and business.

If Gu Qiaoda also put on a self-righteous attitude, thinking that his experience in the newspaper industry is far better than Lin Daoqiu, and treating him as someone who doesn't understand anything, then he must be useless.

"Improvements? Well..."

Lin Daoqiu suddenly became silent, which made Gu Qiaoda feel nervous.

Because Lin Daoqiu's silence means that he has doubts about his ability, or he is not very satisfied with the plan he wrote, at least he does not agree with some points.

But Gu Qiaoda also felt that the planning book he wrote had already included all aspects of the future development of the newspaper, and the focus was not wrong, because it was all accumulated from his years of experience.

"Do you think that according to the development of your plan, does Reader Times have a chance to approach or even surpass the five major newspapers in the future?"

When asked by Lin Daoqiu, Guqiao Tatsu was at a loss for words, because he knew very well that if it develops according to its own plan, it is unlikely that "Readers Times" will reach or even exceed the possibility of the five major newspapers in the future. Close, this is already the most optimistic scenario.

"My vision or request for the future of "Readers Times" is to reach or even exceed the five major newspapers of Neon. That time may never come."

Generally speaking, Lin Daoqiu has great ambitions. What he wants is to make "Readers Times" a very influential comprehensive media in Neon, not only in entertainment and culture, but also in politics and economy. Achievements.

It's a pity that Guqiao Tatsuya's planning book only mentioned things about culture and life, ignoring other parts, but this is not the problem of Guqiao Tatsuya alone. Neon people don't care about these, they are more concerned about the situation around their lives now, and this situation will intensify in the future.

But even so, Lin Daoqiu does not intend to give up his efforts in politics and economy, even if the money spent is in vain, he will continue to cultivate in this area.

"You are an excellent manager, but you are not the editor-in-chief I want. With your level and ability, I think you are qualified to be the deputy editor-in-chief of "Reader Times". I wonder if you are interested in joining?"

Lin Daoqiu felt that Guqiao Tatsuya was obviously unqualified if he was to take the lead, because Lin Daoqiu couldn't be satisfied with his vision of the future and his way of doing things.

Therefore, Gu Qiaoda couldn't get the position of editor-in-chief, but with his ability, it was more than enough to be an associate editor to assist the editor-in-chief in managing the newspaper office.

Originally, Gu Qiaoda was also full of confidence and wanted to compete for the position of editor-in-chief, but in the end he did not get his wish, but at least Lin Daoqiu did not directly drive him away, but gave him the position of deputy editor-in-chief. This can also explain Lin Daoqiu I still have some recognition of my ability, but this recognition is not enough to make myself stand out as the editor-in-chief of "Reader Times".

"Mr. Lin, I...I need to think about it."

"No problem, you have enough time to think about it, I'll give you seven days, should it be enough?"

Gu Qiaoda also nodded, seven days is certainly enough, but now he just wants to go home to calm down alone, and think about his future path.

After all, this time he failed to compete for the editor-in-chief of "Readers Times". Although Tatsuya Furuhashi had already made such psychological preparations before, it was still difficult for him to accept the failure in the end.

After all, this is the field he is best at, but he still failed to pass Lin Daoqiu's approval, which made him really depressed and uncomfortable.
