this man is not calm

Chapter 236
As an entrepreneur and company owner, Jin Shang definitely hopes that company employees can focus on work, and at least be able to balance public and private matters.

However, some things are not that simple, nor are they black and white.

Many people think that a growing company needs young people who are in their prime and have nothing but hard work.In fact, Jin Shang only recently realized that going too far is not enough.Being young and fearless means instability.Don't think that because young people have seen so little of the world, you think they are easy to fool and will willingly take advantage of your "chicken soup".

Large companies have complex business lines and numerous departments. It is not a good thing if they are all young people who are too ambitious, lose their concentration, and have no experience in dealing with people.Those aspiring young people who still hold on to naive ideals and are easy to achieve may not necessarily be able to set their sights on private companies like Jinxi Culture and always want to do something in their careers. How can they simply accept "nine-nine-six" and "blessings"? Something like that?
Positions such as "screws" require hard-working young people, and more importantly, experienced employees who can support the lower limit, have "soft spots".

Jin Shang really wants all his subordinates to bear mortgage and car loans. It is best to get married soon, and have one or two "four-legged gold-eating beasts" in the family. If there are seniors and juniors, they will not change jobs easily.

Although they are not able to work overtime as hard as young people who are not experienced in the world, they will not feel resentful because of a small disobedience, thinking that if there is no room for people here, there will be room for others.

The power of the "golden broom" can indeed improve the work efficiency of Jinxi Culture and make employees have a greater sense of belonging, but it is also limited.

The auxiliary role is always secondary. If Jin Shang, the boss, and Jinxi Culture cannot meet the expectations of his employees, there will be side effects sooner or later.

If the boss and leadership are effective, there will be no need for lower-level employees to work overtime all day long.Naturally, the normal leave system is also implemented very thoroughly, not to mention other private companies, and it is even more generous than many state-owned companies.

Editor-in-chief Wang Yan's distraction from housework will naturally have an impact on the work of "Zhiyin Zatan", but it is not that serious. As the number of subscriptions increases, the readership group will not leave easily. As long as the quality of the magazine's articles does not decline in the future, users will naturally swell.

Picking up the receipt for leave, Wang Yan left with satisfaction, and Jin Shang was also filled with emotion.

Several veterans from the company's founding period are basically still here. Now that all businesses are on track, there is no need to be as nervous as before.

Zhao Rongzhen and Wang Yan have several pretty good young people under their banner. Their experience is a little shallow, but their abilities are still good.

As Li Xuan said, if you don't give them a chance to try, how will you know if they can do it?
Instead of recruiting people from outside, it is better to promote from within.

It is not a highly technical position in the first place. What is required is the control of the latest trends and the accurate judgment of the preferences of customer groups.People on my own seem to be more reliable.

Looking through the information of several editors who have performed well in the past few months, Jin Shang picked out a few "seeds" that were pretty good.

“I hope these people can really grow with the company.In the future, Jinxi's culture will become bigger and stronger, and the requirements for senior executives will also increase. If you can't adapt, just... find a relatively stable department to use your remaining energy. 』

Doing business and running an enterprise is not about treating guests to dinner. It needs to be humane. But when it comes time to make adjustments, you can't be merciful.
-
Before lunch, Jin Shang went to see Li Xuan's work in advance.

As a little princess from a wealthy family in the south, she was somewhat unsociable. After coming to the capital to go to college, her outlook changed a little, but she was still squeamish.For example, when it comes to sleeping in, even though I have been much more diligent recently, I still feel very angry when I wake up.

Since joining Jinxi Culture, I was first responsible for tedious offline life, and then hosted group buying and sales. I dealt with many people and saw many problems that were unimaginable before.

Occasionally, in private, he would act mean in front of Jin Shang, lose his temper, and express his opinions on some things.In fact, there are unavoidable inhumane complaints in her words, but Jin Shang knows that it is not that she is really stingy or mean, but because she cares about Jin Shang, loves her family as much as she loves her, and can't stand some minor problems in the company.

Privately, Li Xuan also bought a lot of books on economics, business, and corporate management. However, most of these books based on the so-called "successful studies" and "thick black studies" are nonsense and full of dross. , if you follow this, all your gold and silver will be lost.

As a worker, she doesn't have to worry about this at all. Just because she wants to help Jin Shang and because her boyfriend has promised to spin off the O2O business including group buying and hand it over to her for management, she will do her best to do it. Prepare.

Just like now, Li Xuan, who has a slight social fear, is bargaining with major online customers, making work arrangements with various collaborators, and mediating some minor conflicts. With her family background and conditions, she doesn't really need to So hard.

After waiting for a long time and finishing the matter at hand, he put it down. While eating, he kept telling Jin Shang how many orders he signed in the morning, how big the transaction volume was, and how much money he made.

Jin Shang just smiled and listened thoughtfully, chiming in a few words from time to time.Finally, he reluctantly advised:

"I advise you to let go, have a good rest, and enjoy life. You must also learn to balance work and rest. The work is never finished, so let your subordinates take the lead..."

"I think so too, but they are all unreliable people who cannot be trusted with heavy responsibilities."

"You can't say that. Aren't you and I all here? We have to believe in the plasticity of employees..."

Li Xuan, who was already a qualified white-collar worker, gradually developed her own opinions and persistence, which was not so easy to convince.

"Don't be constrained by a valuation of 30 billion. We will continue to work step by step as before. I am responsible for everything. It is not yet time for you to take responsibility."

The success of Jinxi Mall has given some people more ideas.

Just like his girlfriend Li Xuan, she is actually holding herself to Wei Shuangping's standards.Especially when Jin Shang admired her so much and gave her one of the most important businesses to take care of, the desire to compare began to arise.

However, Li Xuan, who has been proud for more than 20 years, will never admit it.Once it became clear that he was competing with Wei Shuangping, he actually admitted in disguise that he was indeed not as good as her at the moment.

Academic masters are also divided into levels. If Jin Shang and Wei Shuangping, who have the blessing of golden fingers, are S-level, Li Xuan is just above the A-level level. In her hometown, she is a rare talented woman in decades, but in the capital city A place that brings together the best talents in the country is still considered outstanding, but it is still far from the top.

Seeing Jin Shang's disguised persuasion, Li Xuan seemed a little embarrassed, and a little embarrassed because her thoughts were seen through.

"Aren't I afraid that I won't be able to keep up?"

"You are just a new college student who has just graduated a few months ago. Most of the graduates in the same period have not even passed the probation period. You are almost at the point where you are on your own, and you are not satisfied?"

"But, why is Wei Shuangping so good? She is obviously three years older than me..." "She skipped a grade like me. She was two years younger than you when she graduated from graduate school. In terms of work experience and life experience, she is far beyond .At our age, if we have two or three more years of hard work, our abilities will be very different, let alone five years?"

Li Xuan is a novice who has just started driving. No matter how talented she is, she can't compare to an experienced driver with five years of driving experience.

Some abilities cannot be made up by hard work, but require real experience to close the gap.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. I'm off work today. Let's go watch a movie together?"

“What good movies are coming out?”

Her boyfriend is also kind-hearted, so Li Xuan will naturally not act mean at this time.

"I don't like to watch so-called art films that make people uncomfortable..."

"I invested in it. The second part of the "Big Era" trilogy was released yesterday..."

Of course, you have to go and support your own film. Since the editing, Jin Shang has not actually watched it. He is too busy and has no time at all. All the publicity and distribution matters have been left to Nan Dalong.

"Then let's take a look. Didn't you say that after the second part is released, you will start the TV series project of "The Great Era"? How are the preparations going?"

"It's almost time. When grandma comes back, I'll let her take a look, and then it will be officially started. By the way, the TV series is no longer called "The Great Era", it's called "The Golden Family". What highlights is the past of a family and country, grievances and resentments, It's not the same thing as the 'background' of "The Great Era"..."

A TV series with more than 40 episodes and a movie with more than one hour each focus on what the industry insiders have analyzed.The former is free of charge. No matter whether it is stinky or not, as long as it is interesting and popular, it can attract the audience. The latter requires spending real money and time to go to the cinema to enjoy it. The selling points of both , obviously different.

"You really like studying these minute things."

"The common problem among creators is that they cannot make mistakes in matters of right and wrong. If they invest millions and tens of millions and fail to accurately understand the preferences of target customers, big problems will occur."

"Aren't there sponsors and outside investors? I heard Xiaobiao say that the last two movies and the TV series cost almost nothing. The cost of the early investment has been recovered, and the subsequent IP development is basically pure profit. of."

"It's a profit, but it's not that exaggerated. In short, that's what it's like. You can make arrangements in the afternoon and don't work overtime. We'll leave early to avoid waiting in line."

Benefiting from the popularity of the first part of "Big Time", the second part has also attracted the attention of many movie fans.

In this era when information is not very developed, ordinary people are still very interested in the affairs of the wealthy families of the past.The impression of the protagonist, who is based on Jin Shang's biological grandfather, is not entirely positive but rather controversial. However, in general, the screenwriter, director and actors were successful in shaping the film.The epitome of the times in a specific character. Even if he does something bad or makes some mistakes, it cannot be entirely blamed on the individual.

After the first part of "The Great Era" was released, the general public's impression of the protagonist was mostly based on keywords such as pity, regret, and failure, and few expressed disgust towards him.

From this point of view, Jin Shang's goal was achieved.

After lunch and a short rest, Jin Shang received reporters from local media in the capital, dealt with some urgent matters, and then held a regular meeting on the work plan at the beginning of this month.

The product line of the online business is almost complete. All that is left is to "practice internal skills diligently" and wait for the wind to come.

From the perspective of the entire company, we should make more money, spend it in the right places, and when the time comes, it will skyrocket.

Now, only Jinxi Mall seems to be making some progress, and it is still an unprofitable product. It has to provide resources from time to time to feed and grow it so that it can stand out in the future "Red Ocean" competition.

The most profitable business of Jinxi Culture at present is the distribution of newspapers and magazines, as well as copyright operations. Both of these are areas with low investment and high profits. The only threshold is probably to need a group of smart and capable geniuses with outstanding creative abilities to serve as the anchor of the sea. Only then can you have fun.

Last month, benefiting from the gains in the overall strategy, the subscription volume of "Zhiyin Zatan" reached a higher level. This is foreseeable. There are almost no similar competing products in China, and mainstream magazines are still moving towards elegant literature and art, including Although novels such as martial arts, science fiction, and popular novels have begun to gain momentum, they are still in the climbing stage and are difficult to reach the level of elegance.

In such an environment, magazines like "Zhiyin Zatan" aimed at urban women have grown despite criticisms such as "low style", which makes colleagues who want to follow the trend want to give it a try, but are afraid of problems.

Fearing the wolf before and the tiger behind, it missed the opportunity. By the time "Zhiyin Zatan" had seized the mainstream market, it was already too late to make a move.

Not only in China, but also throughout East Asia, it has spread.This is the good thing about Beijing. As long as something starts to become popular, other places will easily advance it and be willing to follow suit.

In addition, another thing that surprised Jin Shang was the good reputation and sales of "Oriental Manke". The serialization of mainstream comics such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has slightly changed the views of some adults who believe that comics are useless to the world and will only affect children's learning and playthings.

The hot sales of most traditional comics and the release of some sequels have not only retained comic fans, but the novelty brought by new future sci-fi style works such as "Jiuding War" mixed with traditional elements has also attracted fans. More readers follow.

What Jin Shang values ​​​​is not just that. The timeline set by "Jiuding War" is in [-], which gives Jin Shang a lot of room for manipulation. For example, the soft advertisements embedded in it are all about integrating various things in the Internet era. The style, as well as the products of Jinxi culture, are subtly instilled into the hearts of young people.

A few years later, when you look back and read it again, you will realize how terrible the "forward-looking" nature of this comic is.

The popularity has reached the target, and some peripheral developments will follow suit. For example, "The Romance of the Gods" introduced by Su Daji and the pioneering alternate history work "Who Rules the Central Plains" introduced by Chuang Wang will be released simultaneously as novels and comics. model to meet readers.

For this day, creators from all over the company, based on the script outline provided by Jin Shang, worked hard for nearly three months to achieve the current results.

As for the large-scale animation project "Jiuding War" cooperating with American Film Studio, three episodes have been trial-produced. Jin Shang has not seen it yet. It is expected that after the post-production is completed, it will be sent for pre-review next week.
