Chapter 226 Salary is higher than the Governor of Hong Kong, no wonder he earns less
Li Wo is a tough guy. He was not scared by the bomb and came to work normally. He can be called the Optimus Prime of Commercial Radio.

According to Kwong Tin-pui, when Li Wo left Rediffusion and went to Macau and entered Green Village, he told stories of the past, and there was a program called "Never-Sleeping Night". A certain wealthy man thought it was an allusion to himself because the wealthy man had a nightclub called Never-Sleeping Night.

The rich man is called Li, I deleted it!
Li Wo responded domineeringly: Deleting it is not allowed, but he can resign.

After Li Wo resigned, he opened a herbal medicine shop.

I thought I would never step into the broadcasting industry again.

Unexpectedly, Kuang Tianpei went to invite him again.

Kuang Tin-Pui was the program director and director of the business department (advertising). He was asked by his then boss Ho Sau-Chi to invite Li Wo to come out of retirement.

Li Wu did not ask He Zuozhi how much salary he gave. He said to He Zuozhi, "You can pay whatever you want. Are you afraid of the powerful people in Macau?"

He Zuozhi said: "I do my business and he does his business, what is there to be afraid of!"

He Zuozhi's words reassured Li Wo. However, He Zuozhi did not treat Li Wo badly. I was very satisfied with his salary.

5000 Hong Kong dollars! Every month!
When He Zuozhi founded Commercial Radio, the starting capital was only 5 yuan!

You know, the highest monthly salary for movie stars and actresses is only 5000 yuan! In order to "corrupt" Shi Hui, Shaw Brothers only offered 7500 yuan. Gao Yuan wanted a salary of 5000 yuan, but Phoenix did not agree, resulting in no new employer.

How high it is!

But this is nothing compared to Li Wo’s income during his peak period.

Li: How high was my salary back then?
But that was the 50s, and Li and I helped Li’s voice increase the number of accounts opened from less than 1 to 4 in one year!

At its peak, it was higher than that of Governor Grantham, whose monthly salary was only 3250 pounds, or about 5 Hong Kong dollars.

However, Wang Yuanchao felt that it should be considered a bonus in disguise.

Therefore, if Wang Yuanchao had not peacefully acquired the majority of Commercial Radio's shares, I am afraid that Li Wo would have resigned. Kuang Tianpei specifically reminded his boss to pay attention to this point.

Now, He Zuozhi is still one of the owners of Commercial Radio.

Wang Yuanchao was also very polite to Li Wo.

Why would he want to show off in front of these people when he can help him make money and manage his career?
So Wang Yuanchao had discussed with Li Wo in the office before. One option was to continue to be a host, and the other was to help train more new people in the station and transfer to management positions. But no matter which choice Li Wo made, Wang Yuanchao expressed respect.

Li Wo is 45 years old, in the prime of life, and said he would seriously consider it.

The commercial radio station has a large turnover, but the cost is even higher. It is difficult to cut costs, so the only way is to increase revenue.

If you want to increase revenue, you have to mobilize everyone's subjective initiative. Apart from promotions and salary increases, the only other option is dividends.

The management and key personnel must receive dividends, but Wang Yuanchao is not familiar with the situation as to how to distribute them, so he does not want to act rashly, lest he raises everyone's expectations all at once.

People just want a steamed bun, but you serve them a roast chicken right away. Are you going to have a full banquet afterwards?
After all, now everyone is still thinking about stabilizing the situation and resuming normal broadcasting.

So we should first follow the rules of Xiao and Cao, and make progress step by step.

Wang Yuanchao did not put on airs as a boss, and everyone was chatting happily. Suddenly, they heard a familiar song coming from the song "Rose, Rose, I Love You".

Oh! There are still songs that are worth listening to.

Following the sound, he saw the singer in a graceful cheongsam with a slim figure. However, her face was not clear due to the dim light. He didn't think she was too beautiful, but just an average-looking one, which was not pleasing to Wang Yuanchao's eyes.

Zhou Cong saw that the boss took the initiative to look over and said silently:
"Li Palace likes to recruit these young and beautiful girls to attract wealthy customers."

Wang Yuanchao glanced at the considerate Zhou Cong: Are you reminding me that I can flirt with girls here, or are you reminding me not to flirt with girls here?

However, the girl on the stage could not make him act impulsively for the time being.

He was still young, so he should behave calmly in front of his subordinates, so he said:
“In fact, it’s not just nightclubs. Our radio station can also train our girls and boys.

People always pay for the people or things they like.

Our radio performers can occasionally or regularly book a venue to give back to our partners and listeners. I think everyone has heard of their voices for a long time and still wants to meet them in person, right? "

Wang Yuanchao's few words of advice made everyone's eyes light up. This new boss really understands radio! He is not an amateur who gives orders blindly!
I have to have a good talk with Yin Fangling, the leading actress in the station, when I get back. The boss is trying to train new talents. I don't know if he feels a little embarrassed that Xiao Yin didn't come to support him.

In fact, this can't be blamed on Yin Fangling. No matter how timid she is, she can't fail to give face to the new boss.

He Zuozhi only explained the matter to the station manager Zhou Cong, and then Boss He didn't care about it anymore. Why did he notify everyone? Does Boss He have no shame?

On the first day, the new boss talked to everyone on duty. After Zhou Cong finished talking with the new boss, he came out and called Yin Fangling's home, but no one answered. No one knew where he went.

Then everyone came here to eat.

Hey.

Everyone was eating and chatting, and after 9 o'clock, the tables had to be turned over and the dinner was over, and it became a proper nightclub!
There are private rooms!
It’s not Wang Yuanchao’s fault that he didn’t know. Everyone didn’t eat at first.

If there were no private rooms, would the wealthy guests take care of the female singer in public?

Sitting on the soft leather sofa, everyone continued to chat about the subsequent developments.

Since we had talked a lot about music during dinner, the topic turned to the news.

Yu An, the head of the news group, has only five or six reporters under him. He is completely unable to compete with the official news station of Hong Kong Radio Station and is considered a marginal group in the Chinese program department. Wang Yuanchao said:

"Can we have some newspaper reading programs? There are actually a lot of good content in newspapers."

When talking about this job, Yu An became excited, but when he thought of the leading male Lin Bin, who had suffered a bad fate because he had inserted "Current Affairs Commentary" into his program some time ago, he immediately held his mouth and looked at the station director and the director first.

Kwong Tin Pui said:

“Isn’t the news a bit sensitive in this current environment?”

He has to be responsible for the people below him, as he has the precedent of Lin Bin.

Wang Yuanchao immediately understood what the other party meant and said:
"In addition to news, newspapers also contain stories, interesting stories, celebrity anecdotes, and so on. We can pick some that the audience likes to read. Many people are illiterate, but they want to know what is happening outside. We don't comment, we just read aloud, how about that?"

Zhou Cong slapped his thigh and said:
"We can say, I read Sing Tao Daily today and there was a piece of news, blah blah blah... We made it clear that it was the content of the newspaper. In this way, the newspapers that we often mention should still pay us advertising fees! We helped them promote!"

Yu An finally got the chance to interrupt and said:
"I think that some content can be published without mentioning the name of the newspaper, while others can be mentioned."

Zhou Cong smiled and said:

"Of course. If we really want to make this program, we need you, Team Leader Yu, and Director Kuang to think it over carefully! Boss, can we come up with a program plan as well?"

Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
“Take them all. It doesn’t matter if there are too many programs. More programs means more opportunities for the employees below.

We have 24 hours in a day, and a lot of time is wasted!

I heard that the female workers in the textile factory, who work in three shifts, all listen to our radio!"

Li I rarely interrupted:
"If everyone can read newspapers, can they read novels? The Jin Yong novels serialized in Ming Pao brought Ming Pao to prominence."

Now it was Wang Yuanchao's turn to slap his thigh and said:
"Why not? Not only can we read it, we can also act it out! Don't we have radio dramas? If we act it out with all the jingle bells and jingle bells and do a good job with the sound effects and music, it will be very exciting!"

Kuang Tianpei reminded:

"We can read the news word for word, but novels have copyright, right?"

Everyone looked at Wang Yuanchao.

Wang Yuanchao said:

"Then, Director Kuang, let's go and talk about it? There are quite a few popular novels. We can pick one or two to test the waters. If the effect is good, we can package it up and sell it."

The new boss is indeed willing to spend money.

Zhou Cong pushed his glasses excitedly and said:

"At this rate, our channel is a bit stretched. According to the regulations of the authorities, we have to broadcast English programs for a certain period of time."

Wang Yuanchao said:

"You guys integrate it first. If it's not enough, we can apply for a channel from the authorities!"

If the boss is willing to pay, then no one will have any objections.

In a word, use your brain, be bold in innovation, and create more.

There is only one thing, don't shoot on target! At least not right now!

Nick, the host of the English program, is not here, and given the recent dangerous situation, foreigners are unwilling to take risks easily.

They rely on the authorities for their livelihood, so they don't need to pay too much attention to their boss Wang Yuanchao.

Of course, English programs are not the main focus of Commercial Radio. How many ordinary people can understand English?

However, what needs to be improved should also be improved.

The audience who can understand English are the serious middle class or above! Or those who want to change their fate!

In today's Hong Kong, English is the ladder to climb up!
Wang Yuanchao entrusted Zhou Cong:

"We still need to talk to Nick about an English program. Can we come up with a 'Learn English with Me' program? This can train a lot of talents, and we can also select the ones that suit us from among these talents."

These people are so ambitious, so releasing some news in English will naturally inform these people.

It is most useful for people who are striving for progress.

Sometimes speaking in Mandarin is useless, but speaking in English is regarded as the standard.

Wang Yuanchao is not familiar with Nick, so it would be more appropriate for Zhou Cong to discuss this matter.

Zhou Cong thought that his boss was a pretty nice person and was thinking about how to benefit the country and the people.

He nodded immediately and said:
"If we can promote English, the authorities will also give us some support and encouragement, which may be helpful for our subsequent application for new channels."

Wang Yuanchao immediately said:

"Then why don't we also launch a 'Learn Mandarin with Me' program? Promoting Mandarin is something we have to do."
