Chapter 412 The new owner
All the eyes present were focused on the visitor.
Lu Dongjie smiled at them, polite and polite, giving people the feeling of spring breeze.
Wei Jishun laughed loudly and made a gesture, "Lu Sheng, please sit here, I kept you waiting for a long time."
Lu Dongjie smiled modestly and waved his hand, "Wei Sheng is so polite, I have to rely on you to help me get on the horse and give me a ride."
Everyone smiled knowingly at his humor, which made the atmosphere in the venue much more relaxed.
Lu Dongjie nodded to the others and sat next to Wei Jishun with a faint smile on his face.
His assistant and secretary were sitting aside, spreading out their shorthand notebooks, preparing to take minutes of the meeting.
After Wei Ji sat down immediately, he said slowly: "Lu Sheng will succeed me as the president and seal supervisor of "Tian Tian Daily"."
Lu Dongjie just nodded slightly when he heard this, with no other expression on his face, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
This made the people who were observing him in the dark slightly startled, and they couldn't help but secretly exchange glances with each other.
It stands to reason that this young man in his twenties and a celebrity in the entertainment industry is at the peak of his spirits.
However, his face was calm and calm, and he was not complacent at all.
If there is such an unpredictable new owner, I am afraid that things will not be easy for everyone in the future.
Wei Jishun did not pay attention to their little actions and continued in a calm tone: "Lu Sheng is a very thoughtful and capable person. I believe that Tiantian Daily will flourish under his leadership."
He did not deliberately say flattering words about Lu Dongjie in front of these subordinates. This is a comment that he personally thinks is more pertinent.
Lu Dongjie has become famous in a short period of time and has made a name for himself in the entertainment industry. Who dares to underestimate him now?
He can rise rapidly in the entertainment industry. Who can guarantee that he will not lead "Tian Tian Daily" to perform a hat trick once he sets foot in the media industry?
Tiantian Daily was a newspaper founded by Webster, and he did not want to see it destroyed in his hands.
The newspaper chose to be sold to Lu Dongjie in the hope that he could lead the newspaper in a turnaround and create a miracle of comeback.
The two will complete the handover of the newspaper office within a week, and Lu Dongjie will officially take over the newspaper office.
Generally, there is a transition period from acquisition to actual ownership of a newspaper, but Lu Dongjie is considered an insider and can save it directly.
He himself works in a television station and belongs to electronic media. He is actually no stranger to newspaper media.
Wei Ji spoke intermittently, and finally concluded: "I hope everyone will work conscientiously, not forgetting the original intention and purpose of journalists, and continue to move forward under the leadership of the new president Lu Sheng."
Lu Dongjie took the lead in applauding, smiling and nodding to Wei Ji to express his gratitude.
Then everyone also applauded enthusiastically, but they didn't know whether they were happy or sad.
Wei Jishun's remarks can be said to be quite satisfactory. There is nothing particularly outstanding about them. They are just plain and straightforward.
But it was enough for Lu Dongjie. He just wanted to simply complete this form, and nothing else mattered.
After all, this is a fair transaction between you and me. If the handover is made more harmonious, it will be better for everyone.
Regarding this "Tiantian Daily", Lu Dongjie and Wei Jishun each have their own plans.
But no matter what, the two people still have the same goal, which is to revitalize it.
Lu Dongjie acquired Tiantian Daily just because he wanted to control a speech platform and have his own voice channel.
Whether it's to use the media to gain self-respect or for other reasons, it will be easier to do anything in the future.
After all, Hong Kong's press control is relatively loose and free, and media people are the uncrowned emperors. This is not as simple as saying.
Next, the heads of each department of the newspaper briefly introduced their work to give the new owner a basic understanding of the situation.
Lu Dongjie listened carefully and from time to time he was still writing and drawing in his notebook, recording something.
Everyone saw that he brought two beautiful assistant secretaries and had to take notes himself, which shows that he is an independent-minded person.
Thinking of this, they took their reporting attitude more seriously, fearing that one person would perform poorly and leave a bad impression.
Not to mention anything else, even from these small details, we can see that he is not a person who can be easily dealt with perfunctorily.
Although Lu Dongjie's face remained calm, he was constantly thinking and analyzing something in his heart.
Based on his judgment of the current operating conditions of the newspaper, he probably understands the reasons that led to the current situation.
If you change the soup without changing the dressing, and make a small fuss, it will only have the effect of raising the soup and stopping the boil, and it is basically impossible to reverse the decline.
To completely reverse the downward trend, major surgery and deep-seated reforms are necessary.
The market positioning and readership of Tiantian Daily, which involves strategic management, need to be studied slowly.
But since the country has changed, the color will naturally change too.
Today's "Tiantian Daily" is a pro-right media, and Lu Dongjie must first dilute this color.
To run a newspaper, you must have your own stand, which is understandable, but right-wing is not what he needs.
The four major members of the Press Union are Sing Tao Daily, South China Morning Post, Overseas Chinese Daily, and Business Daily.
They are authorized by the Hong Kong government to publish government announcements and legal documents.
Others' newspapers can only be sold for 20 cents a piece, but they can sell them for 30 cents a piece.
This is the beauty of the newspaper's stance.
But the comprehensive newspaper Lu Dongjie needs is not a newspaper with strong political overtones.
In the current general environment, whether he is pro-left or right-leaning, there is no substantial benefit to him.
If he takes a middle position, it will give him more flexibility. There is no doubt about this.
But for now, he cannot touch the group of old officials from the former dynasty left behind by Webster.
Lu Dongjie needs to thoroughly explore the background of this newspaper company and make a complete assessment before he can take action.
When negotiating acquisitions, both parties only focused on surface data such as assets, liabilities, market share and revenue.
As for the actual situation of the newspaper office, we have to wait until the handover between him and Wei Jishun is completed before the work can be carried out in a legitimate manner.
Including the factional conflicts within the newspaper, the competitive pressure faced by the outside world, etc., he needs to have a general understanding of many things.
Only after a comprehensive diagnosis of the newspaper can we accurately prescribe the right medicine.
Daily Daily News is just going downhill, and it has not reached the point where it is terminally ill and does not need the next dose of drastic medicine.
There is still a lot of time left for Lu Dongjie, so there is no need to rush to seize the day and chop it off in a big way.
Lu Dongjie looked at these new subordinates, couldn't help but smile slightly, and thought of an interesting phrase.
Chapter completed!
