Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 597 The Job of the General Manager

With the current Internet speed of spreading unbeatable stocks, and netizens believing what they want to believe, even if the foundation released the news, there was basically no disturbance.

There is still a lot of negative news about the Future Education Fund on the Internet, which once made Liang Wenhui, who is in charge of the fund, very upset.

The foundation of the two-story teaching building was not deep, and it was exposed as soon as the flood washed away. Later, it was hit by a mudslide, and the entire teaching building moved dozens of meters before finally falling to the ground.

Although it fell to the ground, the overall structure of the teaching building is still intact, which also shows from the side that the quality of the teaching building is no problem.

However, it has only been two years since the great flood of 1998, and people are not as quick to forget things as later generations. The "bastard project" and "tofu slag project" that the boss said on the edge of Jiujiang are still popular words.

And since then, the country has paid more attention to this kind of thing. It is a critical period for investigating and dealing with scumbag projects. Naturally, news about this kind of thing will be paid attention to by everyone, and even be amplified infinitely.

Moreover, there are many BBS forums and some unpopular small websites. In order to attract clicks, earn users, compete for website rankings, and finally sell them for a good price, headlines, shock media, etc. are also used.

You must know that at this time, the number of website clicks and active users have a great impact on the company's valuation, especially now that we are in the cold winter of Internet technology.

In order to survive, some websites go to great lengths to show the most evil side of the Internet, not to mention such headline-grabbing and side-stepping behavior.

Moreover, most ordinary people "hate evil as much as they hate it" and do not have professional knowledge. They think that if a building collapses, it is a shoddy project. Otherwise, why would it collapse? Most of the logic is that simple, black and white!

When I saw the title, I had already characterized the matter, and some even cursed it several times in my heart without even reading the content.

This matter has been fermented, and many people intuitively believe that donating and building schools is a face-saving project to win people's hearts and create an image of a great benevolent person.

This is something Liang Wenhui is more worried about. He is the chairman of the Future Education Foundation and someone who has been involved in Li Weidong's charity from beginning to end.

I know Li Weidong’s kindness better than anyone else. Now that I see someone attacking the Future Education Fund on the Internet, I am naturally heartbroken and regretful.

Li Weidong has money and a kind heart. If he wants to do some good deeds, it will be a matter of course. If this incident makes Li Weidong sad and loses interest in doing good deeds, that would be too bad.

Moreover, Liang Wenhui did have some responsibility in this matter, and his fault was that the site selection was not rigorous.

The school should have been built in a relatively open place that is not easily affected by natural disasters such as flash floods, landslides, and mudslides.

Fortunately, the students had evacuated early this time and no casualties were caused. It would have been a disaster if the children were all at school and destroyed these flowers.

Naturally, Liang Wenhui couldn't let things develop like this, and it was better to unblock this kind of thing than to try to suppress it. It was better to find more authoritative media to unblock it.

After asking Li Weidong for instructions, he finally decided to announce the work of the Future Education Fund to the public over the past few years. It is okay to do good deeds without leaving a name, but you cannot suffer the consequences of being dumb.

In recent years, Liang Wenhui, as the chairman of the Future Education Fund, has had contact with many leaders, and this matter itself does not have any problems with the Future Education Fund.

Moreover, some upright leaders naturally cannot bear to chill the heart of such a selfless philanthropist, so at this time there are many people who help him in times of need.

In fact, when the media clarified this matter, they also had a sense of justice to bring order out of chaos. According to them, this was an obligatory matter.

Later, it alarmed the top official media, and with the support of relevant leaders, a special interview program was aired during prime time on Channel One.

This interview program marked every school donated by the Future Education Fund from its establishment to the present on a map and made it into a documentary.

As of the time of their interview, the Future Education Fund had donated a total of more than 11,000 completed schools, with some still under construction, at a total cost of more than 5 billion yuan.

The dense red dots on the map and this number immediately caused a sensation among the people across the country. In this era, more than 5 billion yuan can directly rank among the top three rich people, but someone directly donated it.

We have donated money to more than 10,000 schools, how can we let this school become a shoddy project? Especially at the end of the interview program, there is a special clarification of the collapsed school, which refreshed everyone's understanding of this interview.

understanding of the program.

People across the country know that the programs broadcast by TV station have a strong purpose, especially during prime time, and even advertisements must be strictly reviewed.

Not to mention that this half-hour program, second only to the news, has always been aimed at reflecting social issues and fulfilling the function of public opinion supervision of news programs.

In all these years, I have never advertised for a foundation, a social organization, or a company!

Now that the official media has been identified, the media regulatory authorities are naturally more sensitive to such matters. All false reports about the Future Education Fund on some small websites have been deleted.

Although the public relations this time is somewhat passive, it reflects the benefits of embracing the media to a certain extent.

In fact, Li Weidong's prejudice against the news media mainly comes from the self-media era of later generations, so he keeps a distance from the current media.

Li Weidong thought for a long time. This is a philosophical question of negation of negation, and it is also a sublimation of the fine styles of criticism and self-criticism.

Blindly avoiding and being an ostrich is unlikely in today's society or in the future.

He wanted to be an ostrich, but in the future, the Internet became more and more developed, making it difficult to guard against him. In fact, Li Weidong has now become a benchmark for today's Chinese people.

As long as the issue of money is mentioned, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind must be something like "I wish I were as rich as Li Weidong!"

Therefore, the name Li Weidong has become a household name. Even if he himself can keep a low profile, the company cannot keep a low profile. This is an example for Chinese private enterprises.

Li Weidong sighed and said: "It's definitely not possible to be an ostrich. It would be good to improve the relationship with the media appropriately, but you must pay attention to the issue of degree and don't get too involved!"

"Public opinion is the most unpredictable thing. When used properly, it is a sharp sword that can cut through thorns. If not used correctly, it is the Sword of Damocles, ready to cut you at any time!"

"Yes, we will definitely be cautious!" Zou Yi said happily, very satisfied with Li Weidong's change of attitude, and then asked: "What about Phoenix Satellite TV, should I give them a reply?"

Li Weidong waved the cigarette between his fingers and said: "The company and I are two different things. The company is in a stage of vigorous development and the necessary publicity must be done well. I have not considered this matter before, and this aspect must be strengthened in the future!"

"

"As for me personally, there is no need to accept interviews from the media, and I don't like it myself. It has neither a sense of honor nor a sense of achievement for me, but it makes me feel very uncomfortable!"

In fact, this kind of discomfort is a sign of wisdom. Facts have proved that entrepreneurs who like to carnival with the media have become shooting stars across the sky.

Li Weidong looked at Zou Yi and said: "Now that you are the general manager of the company and the legal representative, it is perfect for you to go out for interviews. Besides, you are good-looking, have a good image and temperament, and are a lesbian, so you have natural affinity.

You are also more photogenic, so you will be the one to be interviewed by the media in the future!"

Zou Yi quickly waved his hand and said: "Chairman, this is inappropriate..."

Before Zou Yi finished speaking, Li Weidong interrupted and said decisively: "What's inappropriate about this? I'll just say it's appropriate. This is also your job responsibility as the general manager. Let me do all the work."

Yes, what are you doing?"

Zou Yi wanted to say something else, but when he opened his mouth, he felt that it was meaningless to say anything at this time, so he could only nod his head honestly.

"Since you are all here, I will simply say that what is promoted to the outside world must be true, but it does not necessarily have to be promoted to the outside world. Choose appropriately!"

"Also, in the future, we must gradually improve our relationship with the media. Don't turn away people when they come for interviews. We must receive them well and allow them to interview. After all the hard work, we have to give him two good information, so that he can

If you write an article, you can get a job when you go back."

"Of course, they must understand the reputation of these media before they come in, and don't let flies and mice in. They must stay away from those media with bad conduct and are accustomed to playing right and wrong, and keep the door closed!"

"In addition to people coming for interviews, we also need to publicize ourselves to the outside world. The information technology department must not only maintain the company's intranet, but also establish an external network and do appropriate advertising!"

"The last and most important point is that we must not use the media to hype or use the media to engage in conspiracy!"

"Don't think you are smart. Everything has pros and cons. Don't think that using the media to achieve certain goals is good. It may lead you into more complicated things!"

"As long as our relationship with the media is not as disharmonious as it was in the past, maintaining a reasonable and flexible environment will be beneficial to the company!"

"That's all I'm saying. You can discuss the details yourself. You are the company's management and have the authority to manage the company's daily affairs. If I say too much, I will be overstepping my authority!"

After Li Weidong finished speaking, he waved to them and got in the car to leave. Several people watched Li Weidong's car leave.

Li Weidong is no longer the general manager of the company, and he no longer even serves as the legal representative. Everyone has already expected that Li Weidong, the hands-off shopkeeper, will be more free and easy, but isn't it? He is just that free and easy.

Until the taillights of Li Weidong's car disappeared, several people exchanged greetings and walked towards the hotel with smiles. They seemed so harmonious and united.

Zou Yi and Xu Dehai were at the forefront, Zheng Sijing, Xia Guoqiang, Jiang Zongtao, and Tian Ya were walking behind. These people belonged to the first echelon of Li Weidong's subordinates.

Although Zou Yi is the general manager, in fact the four deputy general managers have their own thoughts.

Xia Guoqiang was originally the vice president of Xinsheng Holdings, and his main job was at the automobile factory. He had no direct or indirect contact with the other vice presidents. In comparison, he had a closer relationship with Xu Dehai, the chairman of the board of supervisors.

After all, this was his previous leader, and it was Xia Guoqiang who persuaded Xu Dehai to resign from the system. The two had similar experiences, so they felt somewhat like confidants.

However, Xu Dehai was chosen as the chief supervisor, who has the responsibility to supervise the company's senior managers, so he naturally had to keep a distance from the company's senior managers.

Zheng Sijing and Jiang Zongtao have some connections. Zheng Sijing is the general manager of Jingwei Investment, and Jiang Zongtao is the deputy general manager and general manager of the Beijing branch.

The two of them seem to belong to the same camp, but the most complicated thing in this world is the human heart. When Jiang Zongtao was Zheng Sijing's subordinate, otherwise he would have followed Zheng Sijing's lead.

But now they are on the same level and have contact in terms of working methods. One is in charge of investment and the other is in charge of risk control.

In a short period of time, they should still be able to get along relatively harmoniously, but as time goes by, Jiang Zongtao, as the vice president of the company, will definitely have to make his voice heard.

As for Tian Ya, although she and Zou Yi are both women, their communication may be smoother, but Zou Yi is not naive enough to think that the chief financial officer of a company will stand with her, the nominal leader.

The two most important departments of a company are people and finance. People are not a problem at all for Li Weidong. He has the power to replace people at any time.

Only finance is the highlight, and Tian Ya is also Liu Jinhui's former deputy. She is obviously Li Weidong's own person. It is good enough that she can cooperate with Zou Yi in work, and there is no need to think too much about the rest.

This situation is good for Zou Yi. If these subordinates are monolithic, with her qualifications and abilities, there is really no way to shake them.

After all, she does not have Li Weidong's prestige. There is no need to consider their personal reasons. In this company, Li Weidong has absolute prestige, while Zou Yi's prestige is only relative.

Besides, no one who can achieve this position is willing to be subordinate to others. Although he cannot be the chairman of the company, being a general manager is not bad.

In short, although there are not many people in the current management team, fighting skills are definitely indispensable. Without a battle between dragons and tigers, this team will definitely not be able to get along well!

It was not yet eight o'clock when Li Weidong's car arrived home, which was obviously too early for summer.

But when Li Weidong entered the house, although the lights were on in the entire backyard, it was quiet and there was no sound at all. Without even thinking about it, he knew that several children must be playing in the front yard!

Li Weidong's parents live in the front yard. The children are willing to stay with their grandparents. After all, only their grandparents can have the patience to play some low-level games with them, and their parents cannot count on them.

Li Weidong opened the door, and Liu Jinhui came out and asked curiously: "Isn't there a reception tonight and it ends so early?"

"There are people in the room, I thought they were all in front!" Li Weidong handed the bag in his hand to Liu Jinhui and said a little tiredly.
