Chapter 310: Poaching Zou Wenhuai
Seeing that Zou Wenhuai had been brainwashed to the extreme, Wang Yuanchao said:

"If possible, I would like to invite Mr. Liu Heqing, the president of the Daily News, and Mr. Zhou Cong, the director of Commercial Radio, to have a few drinks together tonight. How about that?"

This increases his persuasiveness!

If it weren't for the boss, it would be almost impossible to notify the two general managers to come to the banquet at this time.

Which of the two general managers is not busy with business and has a full schedule?
Zou Wenhuai said quickly:
"no, I'm fine.

I think it won’t be too late for us to have a drink together when I start working for Boss Wang.”

Wang Yuanchao laughed and said:

"General Manager Zou has already said this, isn't it?"

Wang Yuanchao stood up, opened the door, and said to the outside:
"Notify General Manager Liu Heqing and General Manager Zhou Cong to come here for dinner tonight."

Damn it, Longpu Garden Villa is becoming less and less able to support my status. How can I invite my subordinate general manager to have dinner at home in such a small house?
Dai Jianong is such a joke. He hasn’t helped me find a suitable house yet?
Do we need to buy a piece of land and build it?
That will have to wait until the year of the monkey and horse!

Dai Jianong, head of investment and mergers and acquisitions at Pacific Industrial, sneezed. He hoped he wouldn't catch the flu.

With Wang Yuanchao's arrangement, Zou Wenhuai had no way to refuse at all, and he was a little conflicted.

If I refuse, how can I face Boss Wang in the future?

He didn't refuse. As soon as someone asked him about it, he agreed immediately, right?

After Wang Yuanchao finished his arrangements, he closed the door and returned to his seat. He seemed to see Zou Wenhuai's embarrassment and said:
"You are unhappy over there, but here we are eager for you to show your skills. There is a good saying: 10,000 years is too long, we must seize the day.

This is our common cause!

Mr. Zou is here, and there is a lot of work for you to do.

Does Mr. Zou think this is too challenging?"

Zou Wenhuai said:
"How could that be? It's just that I joined Shaw Brothers after returning from the United States in 57. It's been 12 years..."

Wang Yuanchao said:

"No matter how much you love her, it's someone else's property. You can't leave it to your children, right?"

This is true, although it may be a little rough, the truth is there.

Zou Wenhuai shared his past experiences and management philosophy with Wang Yuanchao. Since Boss Wang didn't ask, he had to explain it clearly.

What does Wang Yuanchao need to ask? In his previous life, Zou Wenhuai left Shaw Brothers and founded Golden Harvest, which caused Shaw Brothers to go bankrupt!

But since Zou Wenhuai insisted on introducing him, he had no choice but to listen carefully, otherwise it would seem disrespectful.

Zou Wenhuai wanted to talk to Wang Yuanchao about future development, but Wang Yuanchao had no information at hand and was too lazy to explain to others. Moreover, he was not familiar with the situation in the film and television industry at that time. He just said that he would take a careful inventory and make a plan after Zou Wenhuai took office.

Zou Wenhuai was helpless. This boss was really a hands-off boss.

At the same time, I couldn't help but feel secretly delighted. Is he finally going to show his skills?
But I still asked cautiously:

"Boss, I also have many talented but unsuccessful colleagues in Shaw Brothers..."

Wang Yuanchao waved his hand and said:
"Who are the people you want to recruit? What are their strengths? What business will they be responsible for? What will the cost be? Just prepare the materials and show them to me.

After your management team is complete, formulate a management charter. In the future, you must follow the charter. For example, if poaching exceeds a certain level, you need to report to me specifically. If there is anything that requires my involvement, you can handle the rest on your own, right?

It would be great if everyone could do their job and work together, right? "

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter!"

The door opened, and Liu Heqing and Zhou Cong walked in one after another.

Zou Wenhuai was in charge of publicity and promotion, so naturally he had to deal with both companies, so after having met them a few times, he quickly stood up.

"Manager Zou?" Liu Heqing was originally in the film industry and had a deep impression of Zou Wenhuai.

Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"It seems like everyone knows him? But I still want to introduce him to you.

Mr. Raymond Chow, the Vice President and Production Manager of Shaw Brothers Films, will soon be hired as the General Manager of Starlight Pictures.

Mr. Liu Heqing, President of Phoenix Daily.

Mr Zhou Cong, Director of Commercial Radio.

We are all family from now on, come on, come on, sit down."

The three of them greeted each other and shook hands. Zou Wenhuai discovered that Wang Yuanchao actually stood up.

He is expecting his father-in-law to come over, can he sit down?
Zhou Cong said:
"Boss, are you setting up another company?"

Wang Yuanchao poured tea for the two of them and said with a smile:
"Director Zhou's words reminded me that I have many companies. I should bring everyone together someday so that family members don't get to know each other."

Liu Heqing said:

"I still remember the reception in September last year to celebrate the selection of members of the Aid Korea. It was packed with people, and many big families were in attendance. It was a pity that we at Phoenix were not allowed to report on it. What a pity!"

Zhou Cong also said:

"Our commercial radio station was not allowed to report it either, but everyone attended the boss's cocktail party and came back to work even harder!"

Zou Wenhuai immediately realized the difference between the two general managers' speech. One called him the boss, while the other actually called him by his name! The key point is that none of the three of them thought there was anything wrong with it!
Wang Yuanchao said modestly:

“Keep a low profile, keep a low profile.

I am so young. If I make it public, many older people will lament that they have lived in vain, and many girls will probably become interested in me.

Uncle Liu, do you think this is true? "

Liu Heqing had no way of responding to this and could only laugh it off.

Zhou Cong immediately understood and said:
"I just don't know when to attend the boss' wedding banquet." Wang Yuanchao said:

"I have to wait until my girlfriend graduates from college, right? Oh, stop talking about me all the time. Even if you talk about me like this, I won't ask you about your newspaper or radio station.

If you have anything to say, wait until the annual budget meeting to discuss it!"

Zou Wenhuai vaguely heard something. Also, judging from the way the boss got along with the two general managers, he really was a hands-off boss.

Since they were basically going to board Boss Wang’s ship, Zou Wenhuai asked:

"What kind of meeting is the annual budget meeting?"

Zhou Cong explained:

“We usually hold three meetings.

The budget meeting at the beginning of the year lays out the work plan, personnel organization, expenses, operations, etc. for the whole year.

Firstly, it tells everyone in the unit what we are going to do next year so that they have a clear idea of ​​what we are going to do. Secondly, it tells the boss and lets him rest assured that we are not doing anything stupid!

In the middle of the year, we will hold a semi-annual summary and budget adjustment meeting. After all, a year is too long and there are many variables.

The other thing is the year-end summary meeting, where we review the gains and losses of the year and prepare for the coming year.”

The two general managers probably knew why the boss wanted them to come over for dinner, so they came to chat and chat with the newcomer.

Zhou Cong is not like Director Liu Heqing. They are the future father-in-law and future son-in-law, and their families are together, so he especially cherishes the opportunity to build relationships in front of his boss.

Compared with the old boss Mr. He Zuozhi, Boss Wang has more assets, is richer, likes to delegate power, and will give strong support when someone occasionally makes a fuss. It is indeed a good place for managers to display their talents.

Liu Heqing added:

"In addition, we must pay attention to the integrity management of the team. As the team grows, we will always find some corrupt officials who abuse their power for personal gain and accept bribes during the annual financial audit.

Obviously the boss has already given me enough salary and benefits, ah."

Zou Wenhuai nodded and thought: You two are in publicity, so most people come to you for help, but I am in the film industry, so I have to ask others for help... But it's not wrong to nip the problem in the bud.

This is a disguised reminder from the boss that you will be given what you deserve and should not touch what you shouldn't take.

Zou Wenhuai also carefully inquired about some of the internal management issues that could be inquired about. The more he understood, the more fascinated he became.

Liu Heqing and Zhou Cong told him everything they knew. After all, the boss had called them over to keep him company, which showed how much the boss valued them.

They couldn't doubt the boss's judgment, and so far, the boss had never made a wrong judgment.

Wang Yuanchao was responsible for making and pouring tea, and occasionally making some supplements.

Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Wang Yuanchao said:

"Mr. Zou, please decide when it is convenient for you to sign the contract, so that we can make an appointment with Zhou Qibang Law Firm."

Zou Wenhuai knew Zhou Qibang Law Firm, as its father was Zhou Xinian. The reputation of such a big shot's law firm was guaranteed.

Zou Wenhuai did not shirk his responsibility and said:
"Would you mind if I take inventory of Shaw's personnel first? Now that my identity is gone, I won't have the chance to do a thorough inventory later."

Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"How about starting work after this year? It's the beginning of the new year, so I'd like to trouble Mr. Zhu Guoliang to introduce us to each other."

Zou Wenhuai thought for a moment and nodded.

It was now the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month. He had only started working after the Chinese New Year and there was still about a month left. This was enough time for him to quickly get to know the personnel, make some preparations, and submit his resignation to Shaw.

Wang Yuanchao saw this and said with a smile:

"Let's go, the people at the table next to us can't wait any longer!"

The four of them went to the private room next door to eat.

Now we are all family!

Although the contract was not signed, Zou Wenhuai had no room to regret. Sixth Uncle Shaw liked to employ his own people. If the news of him having dinner with a few people here got out, he would be even less likely to be employed by Shaw. It would be easy for the two media general managers to spread this news.

After some drinking and chatting, Zou Wenhuai, who had come to his senses, got drunk as expected.

He boasted that he could drink a lot, but it turned out that the boss could drink a lot!

Before he passed out, he finally realized that Zhou Cong and Liu Heqing’s advice to him to drink less was not a sarcasm!
Well, no one knew where Zou Wenhuai's home was, so Wang Yuanchao had to call Shi Hui. If Shi Hui didn't know either, he would have to send Zou Wenhuai to the hotel.

When Shi Hui heard that Zou Wenhuai was drunk, she immediately congratulated him:

"You succeeded in poaching?"

Wang Yuanchao said modestly:

"Thanks to Sister Shi Hui for the matchmaking."

Shi Hui rubbed his shoulders and said:
“You actually started a movie company!”

Wang Yuanchao said:

"What are you talking about? I'm not bragging. It's just that we have to do it slowly, step by step, right? Rome wasn't built in a day, and a fat man wasn't made in one bite."

Shi Huidao:
"Then do you want me to help you get Sisi here? She can't stay in the Great Wall anymore. Oh, and Gao Yuan too!"

Considering the lack of female stars in Starlight Movies, Chen Sisi is really a good choice.

"That's great. You can help negotiate first. Then we can sign a contract with Zou Wenhuai and make a big news. By the way, do you know where Zou Wenhuai's home is?"

Shi Hui said unhappily:

"How can I know where his home is? If not, just arrange for him to sleep in a hotel.

I hung up the phone!"
