Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Lai Yinbom followed Lin Daoqiu into his office. After Lin Daoqiu sat down, he still stood there without moving.

"What are you doing standing around? Sit down."

Lin Daoqiu pointed to the chair opposite him, and then Lai Yinbom walked to the chair respectfully and sat down.

It's not like Lin Daoqiu has never seen such a person behave so cautiously in front of him, but Lai Yinbom is the editor-in-chief of "Reader Times", and this position does not require people with his personality.

What Lin Daoqiu wants is a person who is strong and has the ability to think independently, who can arrange everything in the "Reader Times" properly, without the kind of meritocracy that he does not need to worry about.

Although Lai Enbom has worked hard in the newspaper industry in North America for many years, he is not the kind of capable manager Lin Daoqiu wants.

If "Reader Times" was just a medium-sized newspaper, then there wouldn't be much of a problem with Liinbohm as editor-in-chief.

However, Lin Daoqiu's goal in founding "Reader Times" is to make this newspaper one of the three major media companies in North America in a short period of time, and Lai Inbom does not look like a captain capable of steering this big ship.

.

Lin Daoqiu originally planned to take his time in changing the editor-in-chief, but now it seems that it is better to do it sooner rather than later.

Although I feel a little sorry for coming to Inbom, in a society with such fierce competition in North America, the standard for appointing management is ability. Here we believe that the capable will be promoted and the mediocre will be demoted.

"You have worked hard during this period. Although "Reader Times" is still in its early stages, you have arranged many things in an orderly manner. I am very satisfied with this."

Lin Daoqiu's opening remarks made Lai Yinbom a little frightened, because it was already moving in the direction he least expected.

However, coming to Yinbom still carried a trace of extravagant hope. He felt that even if he had to step down from this position, he might not be able to do so quickly, right?

"You are so complimentary. I just did my job well."

Liebom shook his head humbly.

"But coming to Yin, you should also know very well that my positioning of "Reader Times" is to make this newspaper one of the three major newspapers in North America. If we want to achieve this goal, we need the best talents to manage it.

This newspaper."

If you were just speculating before coming to Inbom, then Lin Daoqiu's words have made it very clear that you are a good person, but you are not the best talent.

The thing that he had been worrying about finally happened, but Lainbom suddenly felt that in addition to being sad, he felt a little more relaxed.

"In fact, I can say that I am very satisfied to have the opportunity to run the Reader Times for a few months. I never thought that I would have such an opportunity at the beginning."

I don't know if it's because Lin Daoqiu has completely spoken out, but Lai Yinbom's mood seems to be much more relaxed than before, at least not as nervous as before.

"I already understand what you mean. I will submit my resignation to you after I have arranged the things at hand."

Lai Yinbom is not the kind of person who refuses to leave. He has already received compensation from Lin Daoqiu after the previous newspaper was acquired.

Coupled with the salary of the past few months and the rewards after resigning, although Lainbom dare not say that he can get rich overnight, the total amount of money is enough to save him twenty years of hard work.

"Actually, I have never thought about driving you out of Readers Times. The editorial department also needs experienced people to manage it. If you are interested, I hope you can stay as the head of the editorial department."

Reinbohm is not without ability, but his ability is not enough for him to serve as the editor-in-chief of "Reader Times".

But if it is just the position of director of the editorial department, then Lin Daoqiu believes that Yin Bom's ability is still qualified. It depends on whether he is willing to accept this position.

Suddenly falling from editor-in-chief to head of the editorial department, this kind of gap may not be acceptable to ordinary people. If Lai Yinbom was not willing, Lin Daoqiu would not force him. After all, this is a bit difficult.

After hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Lai Yinbom's expression looked a little tangled, as if he was seriously weighing the proposal given by Lin Daoqiu.

"The future of "Readers Times" is bright. Staying here as the head of the editorial department is definitely more promising and influential than serving as the editor-in-chief of some newspapers outside..."

"Of course, these all depend on your own decisions. I will not force you to make any decisions that go against your ideas."

Lainbom nodded slightly, and then he spoke.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, but I still can't make up my mind for a while. Please let me think about it for a few days."

Lin Daoqiu nodded and agreed to Lai Yinbomu's request. After all, this was not a very urgent matter.

"You have plenty of time to think about it."

After Lai Yinbom finished chatting with Lin Daoqiu, he was about to go back to his office to work, but just as he was about to get up, Lin Daoqiu suddenly asked him a question.

"If you were asked to recommend someone to succeed you, who would you recommend?"

"You want me to recommend a new editor-in-chief?"

Lai Yinbomu did not expect that Lin Daoqiu would come to seek his opinion on this issue.

But right now, his mind is so messed up that he simply can't think of a suitable candidate, or he really can't think of anyone among the people he's contacted before who can take over this position.

At this moment, Lainbom suddenly remembered a person. If it was him, he might be qualified and able to take over the editor-in-chief of "Readers Times".

“Have you heard of Time magazine?”

When Lai Yinbom asked, Lin Daoqiu immediately thought of that person, but this was just his guess. He was not sure whether Lai Yinbom really wanted to recommend the person he thought of.

So Lin Daoqiu replied.

"Of course I know, I have accepted an exclusive interview with them before."

Lai Yinbom said immediately.

"The editor-in-chief of Time magazine is named Clay Berger. He has a great reputation in the industry. If we can invite him here, then I think it would be a good choice."

Lin Daoqiu did not give any reply after hearing Lai Yinbom's recommendation. It seemed as if he was just asking for the other party's advice.

After Lai Yinbom left, Lin Daoqiu began to seriously consider this issue.

If Kleidberg was hired from Time magazine, it shouldn't be a big problem for Lin Daoqiu.

And judging from previous contact with Claydberg, this person is indeed a very capable person.

The more Lin Daoqiu thought about it, the more he felt that Claydberg seemed to be a good choice, so he planned to ask the other party to have a chat and test Claydberg's intentions.
