Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 300 Influence

"This involves fundamental social issues, and if it's not handled properly, the consequences will be enormous!"

"Yes, what others earn in a year, we would have to earn for a lifetime!"

"Judging from the current situation, there are quite a few contradictions here."

"Of course, we cannot deny that these actors are able to earn high salaries because of their own abilities."

"Actually, I feel that things are a bit lifeless at work right now!"

"In some organizations, many people are just coasting along."

"That's definitely the case, because whether you do a good job or not, you get the same amount of money every month!"

"If this continues, then everyone in every workplace will be like this!"

"I think we can be bolder. Although these people work in the factory, they are able to earn such high salaries because of their excellent acting skills!"

"Moreover, their ability to earn foreign exchange is due to their own capabilities."

"Of course, their success today is inseparable from the factory's training, so I think we should split the profits 30/70, with the factory taking 30%!"

"These actors make up 70%!"

"If anyone envies their high salaries, then we can give them a chance!"

"Isn't 'Sanqi' a bit too much? If it's 2,000 yuan a month, 70% of people can get 1,400 yuan, which is almost equivalent to someone else's entire year's salary."

"Not to mention the three or four thousand!"

"That's true, but if others can earn two thousand, that's their own ability!"

"In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms production crew, some Hong Kong artists can earn three thousand, and some can earn four thousand!"

"That's based on each person's ability."

"I think we should standardize how much money factories should charge!"

"It shouldn't be based on commission!"

"I think it's better to base it on commission!"

When the top leaders see this, they know that now is not the time.

"To earn more money and then live a better life!"

"This is the ultimate goal of our reforms!"

"They realized their own value through their own abilities."

"Logically speaking, we should encourage this!"

"But this involves some practical issues, so let's think about it again!"

"Let's put it on hold for now!" the higher-level leader said again.

"Ok!"

"Let the lower levels report some things first, and then we'll make a decision!"

"You can take a look first!"

"It seems Li Song didn't go to the university to recruit people?" the leader continued to ask.

“Li Song didn’t go. He had planned to go, but something came up in Hong Kong.”

"It's all because of the diesel engine lawsuit!"

"Right now, the media in Europe—Britain, France, and Germany—are attacking each other!"

"In London, let Li Song and his team countersue MTU...!" someone explained.
Now the top leaders understood what was going on!
"hehe!"

"Don't you think there's something fishy about this?"

"I suspect that it's actually the people behind Li Song and his group who are pushing this together!"

"Whether we win or lose the lawsuit, the whole world now knows that Baisheng's engine technology is superior to MTU's!" The leader chuckled.
"The leader is right!" The others chuckled as well.

"There's one more thing. Li Song's factory is giving out year-end bonuses, which will probably cause quite a stir."

"Do you want it?" "This is actually similar to what we have at our company. Companies with good performance have good benefits!"

"Although it's not a direct cash handout, it's almost the same as giving out cash."

"Don't interfere in this matter. What is the purpose of attracting foreign investment?"

"And this money is also distributed to our people."

"This is a good thing, proving that the people's choice was correct!" said the top leader.

"Yes!" The others nodded.
Factories are doing well now, so their benefits are good, while government departments are not doing well, so many people don't want to work in government departments and want to work in factories instead.

Just like in the 1980s, many people were willing to work in sales, but not in government departments!

However, as time went on, the once-thriving supply and marketing cooperatives declined, while government departments gradually improved!
Although the salaries are the same across different companies, the benefits are different; in reality, it's just a matter of giving money.

It's just that Li Song's factory does things in a more direct way.

"We need to give these foreign businessmen enough freedom!"

"We brought them in to bring about change!"

"Therefore, we must be cautious when dealing with laws and regulations!"

"Only when more people see Li Song's achievements will they invest in our country!" the leader said.

"Okay!" Everyone nodded.
Although some people were unwilling, they had no choice but to face Li Song!
Moreover, these people also knew that the main leader was using Li Song as a shield!
Because Li Song's contribution was significant enough!

Now, anyone who opposes Li Song should first consider their own worth.

In other words, Li Song was not in the imperial court.

But its influence goes without saying!

Moreover, precisely because he was not in the imperial court, those who opposed him had no better means to deal with Li Song.

It can be said that it is precisely because of this peculiar situation.

This allowed Li Song to not only wield enormous influence, but also remain aloof from the situation.

The top leaders clearly saw this as well, and gradually used Li Song to open up the situation, leaving those who opposed him with no way to make a move.

Li Song certainly didn't have this awareness!

Li Song is enjoying life on Hong Kong Island, spending his nights partying with beautiful women!

Arlene is now a beautiful and popular host on Phoenix TV!

Because when he was doing the million-dollar quiz show, he gave people a cool vibe!

Of course, that was for the sake of the show; Arlene isn't actually that kind of person.

The content of Phoenix TV's annual meeting circulated within the industry, making other competitors green with envy.

Other competitors weren't doing well, so they couldn't possibly learn from Phoenix TV!
This caused resentment among employees in other companies in the same industry when they were working.

After all, Phoenix TV is offering raises, year-end bonuses, and now they're having a lucky draw at their annual meeting!
This makes others envious and jealous!

After the news broke, it became a hot topic of conversation.

Meanwhile, employees of other television stations were even more frustrated when questioned by their neighbors.

Because the neighbors asked us how often the TV station holds its annual meeting and what prizes are offered.

Everyone felt even more upset after hearing this!

What's even more frustrating is that, although there's no annual party raffle, other TV stations are also holding Spring Festival galas to outdo Phoenix TV!
In other words, not only do we not get paid, but we also have to work overtime!

Is there anything more painful than this?!
Everyone else is having a happy annual party, but we're full of complaints!

I feel terrible!!
Li Song only learned about other TV stations' galas from the news.

"Tsk tsk!!"

"Why is everyone targeting me?" Li Song was quite smug. Being targeted meant he was good enough!
