Chapter 364 Cool Them Down
The young man who just spoke was called Zong Yingchao, and he was also one of the first batch of comrades recruited into the TV station. He had a good family background and was a child of a large compound. He had good overall qualities, but he was a little arrogant and conceited.
He said unconvincedly, "Teacher Xiao An, you chose us from so many people, isn't it because we are better than others? I think our good results should be shown to others. This is an affirmation and recognition of our efforts, and it also makes us more motivated to work."
Lou Chenzhen, however, pursed his lips tightly and admitted his mistake directly: "I'm sorry, Teacher Xiaoan, I was impulsive. There are many ways to persuade people. I shouldn't have let my guard down just because we are not in the military and said everything."
An Zhixia shook her head: "That's not the case. I hope everyone has real skills, not just show. The television industry has just started, and we are focusing on development, but we can't ignore the handover of personal connections and the implementation of facts.
This industry is getting more and more complicated. Whether we can rise and fall as we please does not depend on how much professional ability we have. Just like what you said just now, how do you want to deal with it?
Are they having a falling out or are they leaving in anger and really looking for a station to get through the next few days?
When the Canadian TV station comes, where should we take them to live?"
The group was stunned. They only thought about where to stay tonight, but forgot the purpose of coming to Shanghai. Xiahua people valued their reputation more than anything else. How could they allow outsiders to see their true colors?
Zong Yingchao said in a low voice: "But Shanghai TV clearly doesn't want to entertain us, and they even used their connections to prevent us from staying. They want to seize the fruits of our labor and directly establish a relationship with the Canadian TV station, right?
"As long as the cable TV network can continue to be laid in the country, who will get the credit? What can the organization do about it?"
Others also looked a little depressed. "Our TV station had just been rectified, and the Shanghai market immediately launched a TV program of the same type, and also used our model to advertise and made a lot of money. It's normal for them to push their limits this time."
An Zhixia laughed again and said, "You have so little confidence in yourselves? Have I worked in vain for more than four months? We opened up the overseas channels step by step, and integrated the Kyoto TV channels one by one.
Each of you has grown very fast and is now able to stand on your own feet. Are you still afraid that Shanghai TV will outshine us?"
They shook their heads repeatedly, their faces still not looking good.
"Competition within the industry is inevitable, just like the supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores in Kyoto, only by competing fiercely can we make continuous progress. We can't just take over a river and deny the people downstream a living, right?
Isn’t everything we have now also an innovation based on the work of our predecessors?
What I just said is that you should not be complacent and self-satisfied because of a little achievement, and you should not be superior to others. There are many examples of people who are superior to others. I don't want you to be the one who is washed up on the beach.
Furthermore, it is meaningless to just engage in verbal warfare; it may make you feel good for a while but it won’t solve the problem.”
After giving a warning to everyone who had been a little impetuous and proud recently, An Zhixia told them to go back to their rooms, put their things away, wash up, and go out for dinner.
In order to avoid trouble, they brought video recorders and pretended to record programs at any time, which caused the chefs of state-owned restaurants to change into new clothes and show up from time to time, carrying dishes with the waiters.
Everyone tried hard to hold back their laughter, and in the end they actually recorded some content, preparing to go back and edit it for backup.
Shanghai is close to the sea, so half of the dishes on the blackboard are seafood, and the other half are thick in sauce but sweet, which makes northerners uncomfortable. More importantly, the price of the food is the same, but the portion is not large, so no one dares to eat as much as they want.
After dinner, it was time to get off work, so they rushed over. The security guard who had previously asked someone to inform them came back breathlessly.
Wiping his sweat, the man slapped his head when he saw everyone, "I'm sorry, I was stopped by someone to help when I just arrived at the office building. I thought it would only take three to five minutes, but I was so busy that I forgot about you." He glanced at the clock on the wall of the guard room with embarrassment, "The leaders must have gone home to their families' quarters after get off work at this time. How about you go eat first and come back in the afternoon?"
Zong Yingchao, who was carrying a camera, learned and applied what he learned, and said with a smile: "It's okay, let's learn from Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms period, who visited the thatched cottage three times to see what kind of hero the director of our Shanghai TV station is, and it's so hard to meet him.
We are also doing a Shanghai style program. I didn't say hello to you just now because I was afraid you might be nervous and miss the trap. The audience loves to watch the plot with twists and turns.
Our TV station will definitely have a lot of viewership ratings in the future..."
Sweat was pouring down the foreheads of the two security guards. They couldn't smile as they looked at the dark camera with the flashing red light.
"Comrades," an elderly security guard said coldly, "We are all from the TV station. It's not good for you to make such a fuss. We didn't report this to the leadership, so we didn't fulfill our responsibilities, but we can't be blamed for that.
We have a small number of people at the TV station but many things to do. One person would wish he had seven or eight legs. How could he take care of everything? The station is recording a program. It must be an urgent matter. You are well aware of this. I hope you can understand.
The whole nation knows about this little thing, and the organization will definitely investigate. No matter who is at fault, they will all be punished. Is it worth it?"
Lou Chenzhen stepped forward and said with a faint smile: "It's worth it. The program recording is urgent, but not all programs on the station are live. Some are recorded in advance or recorded in segments.
Your duty as a doorman is to pass on information, and there are special clerks and apprentices to run errands for people. So you are so great that you do the work of two people with one job? You throw your own duties aside just to curry favor with others and get work?
If we were big leaders today, or secret investigators, would you still lightly argue about priorities?
Besides, we are not here to look for the director of your TV station. We just want to discuss some things as Shanghai also needs to install a cable TV network.
Since your station is so busy, we will solve it ourselves and not trouble you.
When your Master asks you about this later, you should tell him the truth. "
After saying that, they turned around and left without any hesitation.
The two guards stood there in a daze, still wondering what these words meant.
"Brother, the leader looked in many times just now. He seemed not very satisfied that they only left one person to wait for news, so he wanted to give them the cold shoulder and asked us to tell them in the afternoon that the director had gone to a meeting..."
"What are you talking about?" Another guard clapped his hands fiercely and said angrily, "Go to the leader's house as soon as possible and tell him exactly what you just said."
