Chapter 228: Poaching the Future Mother-in-Law
After making an appointment with Zhou Qibang, Wang Yuanchao called Wang Danfeng and told her about this.

What opinion could Wang Danfeng have?
If a man is willing to take you to meet his friends, especially a wealthy Hong Kong family like the Zhou family, it shows his sincerity and his regard for you.

After hanging up the phone, she immediately decided to ask her eldest daughter to come back early to clean up the situation. She couldn't afford to lose face.

Why did Wang Yuanchao take Liu Qijin to see Zhou Qibang?
He has to go back to the mainland at the end of the year, so someone needs to look after him here.

After much thought, I think Comrade Xiao Liu is more suitable, as she will have the spirit of a heroine to help him watch over the place.

Well, now, I really need to take her to understand the few circles he has here.

Influence is not built overnight; it takes time.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

"Enter!"

The door opened, and it was the station director Zhou Cong and the Chinese program director Kuang Tianpei.

"Boss, we are here to report our work progress to you!"

Wang Yuanchao stood up from his boss chair and sat at the small conference table in front of his desk.

Treating these two key executives this way will seem more respectful to them.

After the three of them sat down, Wang Yuanchao poured them some tea and then sat there steadily listening to their reports.

First, a word about the novel.

Although Mr. Jin was still in Switzerland and had not returned, he agreed to the authorization for the sake of Lin Bin.

Jin Da Xia hid out at the end of August because some excited people shouted that they wanted to kill him. Lin Bin, the former leading male of Commercial Radio, was ranked above Jin Da Xia and has unfortunately passed away.

They are all thorns in the eyes of those people. Lin Bin is first, and Jin Daxia is second. Should Jin Daxia hide?
We are all allies on the same front, so the licensing price is very favorable, 3 yuan per film, valid for 8 years, and it is not just for radio dramas, you can also make movies.

This is indeed cheap, but it is for film and television dramas. The previous copyright of film and television dramas was 5 yuan!
Nowadays, there are already movies like "The Book and the Sword", "The Return of the Condor Heroes", "The Double-Edged Blade", "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre", "The Snow Mountain Flying Fox" and so on. Who is the first generation of Yang Guo? The famous Xie Xian!

This is also the cunningness of Jin Yong.

If we sell the radio drama directly, 3 yuan for just listening to the sound would be too expensive, and it would be too harsh on the commercial radio station of "comrade-in-arms" Lin Bin. But if we sell a bunch of authorized works in a package and call it a discount, it would be very generous.

You, a radio station, can really make movies?
But even if it is really filmed, go ahead. It can also boost the sales of novels and books!

A mutually beneficial thing.

In the current environment, it is not easy to earn some money, and there are many places where people have to spend money when they are outside.

After listening to this, Wang Yuanchao made the decision:
"Then buy the most popular ones first, and sign the complete copyright when you sign. Not only movies, but also TV shows."

Flying snow all over the sky, shooting white deer; laughing book, the hero leans on the green mandarin duck - this is a poem that everyone is familiar with. The Deer and the Cauldron has not been published yet, and The Smiling, Proud Wanderer is being serialized.

Not all books are worth buying.

Wang Yuanchao even wanted to plagiarize The Deer and the Cauldron.

Among the e-books on his mobile phone, there are cracked versions of complete collections of various novels in HTML version.

The file is not large but very complete. It includes not only the works of Jin Yong but also the works of Wen Ruian, who has not yet started writing books.

To put it bluntly, this one e-book alone can make him as powerful as Jin Gu.

At that time, he was mainly watching Huang Yi's "A Step into the Past", but people gave him all these compilations directly.

It's so tiring just typing all the time.

And if you want to make a lot of money by writing, you have to wait for decades.

This will make money too slowly and the cost-effectiveness is extremely low. It is obviously not as good as composing a few songs and organizing a few shows.

The second topic is music programs. This time, a time slot was specially set aside to play folk art. Cantonese songs are not allowed on the stage. The number of Mandarin songs is limited. They are either played repeatedly or only English songs can be played, which overlaps with the content of the English channel. Are they supposed to play opera?
Wang Yuanchao tapped his fingers and said:

“How about we do a “you click and I play” program, and let the audience call the hotline and send their blessings.

The host can also interact and introduce songs, etc. It doesn’t matter if they are played repeatedly. Everyone likes it, right? "

Kwong Tin Pui said:

"Then how will this on-demand service be charged?"

Wang Yuanchao shook his finger and said:

"Why charge? It would be fine if it were free!"

Zhou Cong said:
"Then don't let our radio station's phone explode with calls?"

Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"Isn't it good to blow it up?
What we need most is popularity!

With so many people rushing to make calls, click, and listen, they will definitely rush to promote it. Over time, how many listeners will there be by then?
How many businesses will this attract to advertise?

Going a step further, there might even be singers singing their own songs! "

Zhou Cong and Kuang Tianpei's eyes lit up. They looked at each other and felt that they were narrow-minded and that their boss's ideas were simply out of this world.

Wang Yuanchao said: “We have always made money from advertising and public relations fees.

As long as we attract more customers, there will naturally be merchants willing to place large orders!

Can we sponsor this program? Just inserting ads before, during, and after the program is not enough! We offer free on-demand programs! Can we let the host announce it verbally? Thank a certain brand for sponsorship, etc., all of these can be studied.”

Wang Yuanchao will have to do some British pound futures later, so the new capital injection into the station is limited and he does not plan to continue injecting capital. The station will mainly rely on its own capital generation.

Kuang Tianpei suddenly felt that the boss should be the director of the operations department. If even the naming rights of the program had to be sold, would that be on a weekly or monthly basis?

Before he could think about it any more, he had to continue reporting on the third program.

The changes in news coverage have already started on trial, but the news team has suggested adding horse and greyhound racing coverage.

Horse racing is very popular in Hong Kong, and dog racing in Macau is also very popular. Many clubs have set up outside horse and dog betting, which has a large audience market.

Watching the content of horse and dog racing, Wang Yuanchao fell into deep thought.

Zhou Cong and Kuang Tianpei looked at each other:
Isn’t it the boss who encourages everyone to be innovative?

Isn't it appropriate yet?

This is just entertainment, right?
Let’s not talk about dog racing, horse racing is something that even the people in the station are very interested in! Everyone will buy a ticket no matter what! What if something happens, right?

Little did he know that their report reminded Wang Yuanchao of something: the beautiful actress Gigi Lai married a lame rich newspaper tycoon whose father was a powder seller. Later, in order to clean himself up, he opened the Oriental Daily News.

At first the newspaper was in a terrible state, but later it rose rapidly thanks to its reports on horse and dog racing and became the largest newspaper in Hong Kong.

Now that we have a radio station, why not start a newspaper?
After all, we can't ask the audience to take out paper and pen to take notes, right? The black and white words on the newspaper are much better and worth collecting and studying.

Media must be multi-dimensional and three-dimensional. Radio alone is too weak.

It just so happened that several tabloid newspapers in Hong Kong were closed down, and the employees, managers, and equipment were all ready, so he could easily take over.

A newspaper is much cheaper than a radio station. It can be started with an estimated 10 Hong Kong dollars. As long as it can be self-sufficient, he doesn't need to worry about it at all.

So he said to Kuang Tianpei:

"Horse and dog racing will have to wait for now, but the preliminary preparations can be done. Wait for me to notify you when the show will start!"

Zhou Cong and Kuang Tianpei nodded. The boss did not veto, but just asked everyone to wait for the right time, which meant that the time was not yet ripe.

But the boss didn't tell them the specific situation, so they could only follow his instructions.

The last thing is the English program "Learn English with Me" and the Chinese program "Learn Mandarin with Me".

The former has already communicated with Nick, and if the program is good, teaching materials can be sold later!

Wang Yuanchao had met and chatted with Nick before, just a simple greeting and a few words of concern and comfort. He is the boss and will not give instructions directly to others without going through the station manager Zhou Cong.

But Nick was surprised by his fluent English.

Wang Yuanchao pretended to be indifferent and said that he had friends who were diplomats from John's country and he learned from them.

Nick was stunned by this and thought that the new boss's background seemed a bit scary.

The whole person is much more respectful.

There is nothing to say about the Chinese programs.

Prime time is out of the question, as both programs are scheduled early in the morning, so anyone who wants to learn must be diligent and get up early!
……

Wang Yuanchao has invested a lot of energy in the radio station recently and found that Zhou Cong is indeed mature in management in all aspects, doing things in an organized manner, and will definitely promote and implement what he promised.

That's the benefit of having the stability to accept a mature team.

As for the disadvantages, can they sideline him or just quit jobs en masse?

Rediffusion Cable Broadcasting is almost dead, and Hong Kong Radio only has news but no entertainment!
Where are they running?
Moreover, Zhou Cong is still very cautious in personnel matters. He will report to Wang Yuanchao on all matters related to personnel. Wang Yuanchao has fame, power, and money in his hands—their salaries still have room for improvement! The dividends have not been paid yet! Executives are also waiting in line for allotments.

There is Li Wo in the broadcasting team. After all, in addition to my main job, I chose to help the station run a training class.

Such a big shot is willing to make extra efforts, and Wang Yuanchao is also willing to give a lecturer subsidy depending on the situation.

Yu An from the news team will be very busy and fulfilled as there will be new ways of reporting.

There is no need to worry too much about the broadcasting group and the news group. However, the radio drama group and the music group are still directly managed by Kuang Tianpei, and he can promote two or more persons in charge.

Wang Yuanchao will definitely promote his own people, or promote people personally!
For the role of head of the radio drama team, he had a candidate in mind, and that was his future mother-in-law, Wang Danfeng.

This veteran movie star, now over 40, has few opportunities in the market. In addition, Great Wall has been suppressed and is struggling to survive. It would be better for him to come to Commercial Radio's radio dramas. After all, he can earn a salary and it is not shabby.

Moreover, the "future mother-in-law" has a beautiful voice and can sing. The well-known "Little Swallow, Wearing a Flowery Dress..." is one of her representative works.

Being able to act and sing, is it considered a dimensionality reduction attack if he performs in a radio drama?
As for the style of movie stars, with all the market going on outside, how can they have any style? They are just ordinary citizens!

Besides, what’s wrong with helping the “future son-in-law” with his career and working together as a family?
He has already had some preparations with Wang Danfeng these days. He is going to take Liu Qijin to a banquet tonight, so it would be a good opportunity to talk to his mother-in-law again.

Can we be at ease handing over such a large industry as Commercial Radio to outsiders?
