In the general manager's office of "Three Minutes of Heat", Li Yunfei was constantly complaining to Mo Zhexuan, hoping that he would pay more attention to the newspaper.
"Mr. Mo! You also founded 'Three Minutes of Enthusiasm'. You can't favor one over the other and continue to ignore it! Now all the employees of our newspaper say they are raised by a stepmother."
Li Yunfei is now in both pain and happiness as the editor-in-chief and general manager of "Three Minutes of Heat".
He is in power, second only to the emperor, but deep down he hopes to achieve something in order to repay Mo Zhexuan's kindness.
Before this, he was just an unknown editor-in-chief of an adult magazine. He studied a large number of nude photos and pornographic articles every day. His daily life was almost as smelly as a rat crossing the street.
Now that he has become the editor-in-chief and manager of a regular financial newspaper, he naturally cherishes it even more and wants to make a career, wash away the humiliation of the past, and become a senior intellectual respected by everyone.
"Old Li! I don't treat 'Three Minutes of Enthusiasm' as a toy. My next goal is to develop it into the best-selling newspaper in Hong Kong. I haven't put much energy into 'Three Minutes of Enthusiasm' in the past."
"On the one hand, I didn't have a deep understanding of the newspaper industry, and I was busy with other things. On the other hand, I hadn't figured out how to develop it, but now I have some ideas and thoughts."
"I'll be working on a proposal in the next few days, and I'll also be commissioning a well-known headhunter to scout out some of the best talent from major Hong Kong newspapers. "Three Minutes of Heat" will be asking for money, and if it needs talent, you'll need to hire it. Your goal is to dethrone Oriental Daily News from its top-selling position."
Since Mo Zhexuan founded "Three Minutes of Heat", apart from writing a few articles at the beginning, he basically left it alone.
Apart from paying a little attention to finances, other operational issues are basically left to General Manager Li Yunfei.
Fortunately, the other party is a loyal, honest and grateful person. If he is cunning and treacherous, he might be able to drain "Three Minutes of Heat" through some means.
The fundamental reason why Mo Zhexuan didn't pay attention to "Three Minutes of Heat" before was that the plate was too small and there were many competitors. At the same time, it was not his specialty, so he didn't want to waste his time.
But since being exposed by the Oriental Daily and encountering countless public opinion crises, he has fully realized the importance of public opinion dissemination.
Any slight disturbance will cause a stir in the city and be maliciously spread by bad media reporters.
At this time, newspapers that want to increase sales will carry out slanderous activities at will. To date, there are hundreds of lawsuits for slander entrusted to Shixing Law Firm.
After realizing the importance of media, Mo Zhexuan became more ambitious and prepared to build a media empire like Murdoch.
The business is developing into all areas including the production and distribution of films and television programs, wireless television, satellite television and cable television broadcasting, newspaper, magazine and book publishing, and digital broadcasting.
"Mr. Mo! That puts my mind at ease. However, I would like to resign from my position as general manager. Firstly, my abilities are limited and I'm not suited to management. Secondly, I really enjoy editing and want to devote myself to it."
Li Yunfei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then solemnly stated his request. It was very difficult to make this decision, but after careful consideration, he still made up his mind.
It was mainly due to my personality. After becoming the general manager of "Three Minutes of Heat", I was full of confidence at the beginning, but after the scale expanded, I gradually felt overwhelmed and there were countless miscellaneous tasks.
After working for a long time, I became less and less fond of this kind of life. Although I had great power and could even decide the stay or departure of all the employees of "Three Minutes of Heat", I had to face all kinds of temptations and traps.
This is too tiring. If he didn't have principles, he would have been trapped in the sugar-coated bullets and unable to extricate himself, but he himself loves the work of editing from the bottom of his heart.
After a difficult ideological struggle, I finally made up my mind to resign from the position of general manager. Although I would face the misunderstanding of my family, sometimes people have to follow their heart.
"Old Li! Don't feel so pressured. I've always had full confidence in you. No one is born suitable for management. It all comes down to one step at a time. So I hope you can continue to be the general manager of Three Minutes of Heat."
"As for the editing work, just write some articles when you have time. I will be actively recruiting editors. Although Three Minutes of Heat is lacking excellent editors, it is even more in need of a suitable leader."
"You've never worked in management, but you have principles and stick to your heart. That's what I admire. Put your editing work aside for now and focus on your job as general manager. I'll help you sign up for a business management course at Hong Kong University. You can study and work at the same time. Don't let me down."
Mo Zhexuan now has full trust in Li Yunfei. Although he basically takes a hands-off attitude towards "Three Minutes of Heat", he still entrusts Ruian Accounting Firm to audit the finances every month.
There was naturally no problem with the audit results, and for nearly a year, Li Yunfei had reported on all matters, big and small. Such a loyal and conscientious subordinate should naturally be trained well.
If you don't have enough ability, you can learn, but if your character and morals are not upright, it will cause greater losses to the company. A person with both virtue and talent is a saint, a person with virtue but no talent is a gentleman, and a person with talent but no virtue is a villain.
"Mo Sheng! I...I'll think about it!"
After hearing this, Li Yunfei became very hesitant and conflicted, and even stuttered when he spoke.
"I'll give you a week to think about it. I hope you won't let me down. No one is born a manager. It all comes down to one step."
Upon seeing this, Mo Zhexuan immediately gave him time to consider it. Shortly after "Three Minutes of Heat" was first released in Hong Kong, he did have the idea of replacing Li Yunfei, mainly because he lacked vision and ability.
But after handing over "Three Minutes of Heat" to the other party for management, it is still very worry-free. Now the weekly, monthly and other newspapers in different time periods are running well, and have achieved a slight surplus from the initial losses.
"Mr. Mo! I will give you an answer in a week." Li Yunfei nodded solemnly.
The two then chatted for a while in the office, and after calling Li Wei from Fragrant Duck, Li Xinlei from the gold processing plant and other management, they went to the Hilton Hotel together.
