Chapter 13 Taking over
When Xia Yu and Ding Shengwu were about to arrive at the newspaper office, employees had already gone in to inform others. Everyone was not interested in working and was anxiously waiting for the results.
After entering the newspaper office, Ding Shengwu also felt this atmosphere, summoned all the employees, and then briefly said a few words to thank the employees for their continuous efforts.
Afterwards, it was announced that the newspaper had been sold entirely to Xia Yu.
As soon as these words came out, although the employees were mentally prepared, they couldn't help but be in an uproar after seeing Xia Yu's young appearance. They had no hope for the future of the newspaper and were worried about their own future.
Seeing the reactions of the employees, Xia Yu knew that he could not let this situation spread. If any employees resigned, it would be a huge loss. Although this possibility was unlikely, after all, in this era, it is not easy to find a job in Xiangjiang.
Easy.
But there is no need for him to try.
"Ahem! Everyone be quiet!"
After Xia Yu finished speaking, he looked solemnly at the employees who were still whispering. He didn't smile until they were completely quiet.
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Xia Yu, the Xia of summer, the Yu of Dayu who controls floods. From now on, I am your boss."
"I know that everyone will be very worried after seeing me, worried that I am ignorant and will buy "Famous News" and ruin it, causing you to lose your jobs."
Xia Yu made their worries clear from the beginning. After hearing Xia Yu's words, all the employees did not speak, but the expressions on their faces fully demonstrated their worries.
"I understand everyone!"
"But!"
"Why do you think my money came from the strong wind?"
"Since I bought Famous Newspaper, I must develop it. I am determined to give it a try. What about you?"
"Even if "Famous News" fails in the end, I can still gain a lot of experience, and I still have the capital to make a comeback. But with the current employment pressure in society, the closure of the newspaper will definitely have a greater impact on you than on me!"<
/p>
"So you should work hard instead of worrying about losing your job. If you have this mentality, I tell you clearly that you will lose your job, because I will fire you and my newspaper will not
People who need to cheat to make up for it!"
"Wow..."
As soon as Xia Yu finished speaking, there was a commotion below. Many people looked a little scared, worried that Xia Yu was going to lay off employees, and then they would not be able to make money to support their families.
As Xia Yu said, it is not easy to find a job in Xiangjiang now.
Looking at the employees' reactions, Xia Yu didn't say anything, but looked at them quietly. All this was within his plan.
As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
By the same token, the greater the disappointment, the more likely people will hold on to hope and be more grateful when they gain hope again.
After a while, seeing that Xia Yu didn't speak, the scene became quiet again, and many employees also adjusted their mentality.
"Very good! It seems that everyone's quality is very good!"
Looking around the ground, Xia Yu found that most people's faces were much firmer. Xia Yu nodded with satisfaction and smiled.
The big stick works well, but adding some carrots will give even better results!
He said loudly: "I want to tell you some good news. Starting from today, everyone's salary will increase by 20%!"
"Wow! Isn't it?"
……
Everyone was a little unbelievable when they heard that the new boss said that not only would there be no layoffs, but he would also raise wages. After seeing Xia Yu smile and nod in confirmation, they could no longer hold back and shouted excitedly, looking at Xia Yu with eyes filled with excitement.
Passionate and grateful.
"That's the effect!"
Xia Yu smiled and thought to himself.
In fact, Xia Yu's salary increase was also made after careful consideration.
Uncle Zhao once said, "Don't watch advertisements to see the efficacy"!
Generally, when a company changes hands, it is inevitable for the company's people to be turbulent. The simplest and most effective way to stabilize people's hearts is to raise salary. Although it is simple and crude, it has very good results. This is also a method used all over the world.
Xia Yu values efficiency the most, and he also lacks time the most, so simple, crude and effective is enough.
Furthermore, for Xia Yu’s "Famous News".
The salary increase will have to wait until next month, and there is no need to come up with the money immediately. If he hands out a red envelope, he will have to come up with cash immediately, which will also create a bad atmosphere.
Nowadays, there are only about 20 people in the newspaper office, and the salary level is considered low in the newspaper industry. It would take a 20% increase to reach the level of a large newspaper.
Xia Yu is confident that he will build the newspaper into a big newspaper in a short period of time, and his salary will definitely be raised in the future.
Rather than wait until the company becomes bigger and have to raise wages due to circumstances, and be in line with other major newspapers, it is better to raise wages in advance now.
When the company gets bigger, employees' mentality will change, and they will feel that it is natural to raise their salary to be in line with other major newspapers.
Taking the initiative to raise salary now can win over people, but if you are forced to raise salary later, you will not be grateful, and if you don't mention it, it will also dampen the motivation of employees.
It’s self-evident how to choose!
One is proactive and the other is passive. Xia Yu prefers to hold the initiative in his own hands.
The current salary level in Xiangjiang is only around 300. Even if it increases by 20%, it will only be 60 Hong Kong dollars per person, and 20 people will have an extra 1,200 Hong Kong dollars in salary expenses a month. Xia Yu can still afford this small amount of money.
What's more, this salary will not be paid until a month later. If the company goes bankrupt midway, his promise will naturally become empty.
But if the newspaper flourishes within a month and makes Xia Yu a lot of money, how can he not be willing to part with the extra 1,200 yuan in salary?
After the employees were happy for a while, they looked at Xia Yu again, and their eyes were much brighter.
Another big stick, make a big stick holding a carrot!
By the way, it’s the first thing a new official will do when he takes office!
After thinking about it, Xia Yu's smile faded, his sharp eyes glanced at the employees, and he said slowly.
"Don't be too happy, everyone. As I said before, my money didn't come from the strong wind. Why should I give you high wages?"
"So don't think you can sit back and relax."
"If you want to have a good job, you must have enough value. If I think you are not qualified to get this salary, then I'm sorry. You can go back and forth wherever you go. I don't raise people here who are just waiting to die! I want this
There are definitely a lot of people who have the same job!”
After listening to Xia Yu's words, everyone was stunned and realized that it was not easy to get this money.
But at this time, no one of them was willing to give up, nor did they think about finding the next one, but planned to give it a try.
Now that you know you can get a salary increase, it would be a pity if you don't work hard and lose your job.
Therefore, everyone should make up their mind to work hard in the future, and don’t be caught by the new boss as a typical example of killing the chicken to scare the monkey.
Seeing the reactions of the employees, Xia Yu nodded, knowing that they had listened to everything he said, and his prestige had been established.
"Of course, you don't have to worry about my arbitrary layoffs. As long as you do your job well and do your job well, I'll be satisfied!"
"And I have always been generous and never stingy with those who have merit. In the future, as long as some of you make enough contributions to the newspaper, not only will your salary be paid as usual, but you will also receive additional bonuses, and the bonuses will definitely not be small!
”
"Does everyone understand?" Xia Yu suddenly raised his voice and said.
"I understand!" the employees shouted in unison.
"Yes!" Xia Yu nodded and continued: "Okay, everyone goes back to their posts. The heads of each department come to my office."
After Xia Yu returned to the office, seven employees came in one after another. After the last person came in, Xia Yu asked them to close the door.
"Everyone, please introduce yourselves, starting from the left."
After saying that, Xia Yu looked at an ordinary-looking middle-aged man on the left.
"Boss, my name is Liu Zhong..."
"Boss, my name is..."
……
After the seven people took turns to introduce, Xia Yu nodded and kept everything in mind.
These seven people are Liu Zhong, who holds both financial and cashier positions. He is 40 years old this year. He is an ordinary-looking middle-aged man who seems to be relatively taciturn.
Director of the Information Department Sun Xin, 38 years old, has worked for Famous Newspaper for fifteen years. The Information Department is responsible for writing and soliciting articles. Sun Xin serves as the chief editor of the Information Department and has reporters, photographers and other staff under him.

Zhao Cheng, 42-year-old director of the editorial department, has also worked for more than ten years and has rich experience. The department is responsible for text editing, news commentary, art editing, picture editing, proofreading, typesetting and other work.
Sun Changfa, the 34-year-old director of the circulation department, is in charge of the distribution of newspapers. Due to the low sales volume of newspapers, there are only three employees in the distribution department.
Li Bin, the 36-year-old director of the Communications Department, is responsible for communicating and implementing the newspaper's publicity and reporting plan, and is also responsible for the construction of external reporters and communications teams.
The head of the advertising department, Huang Wenshan, is 37 years old. The department is responsible for accepting advertising business and producing advertisements. Because of the low sales volume of newspapers, he is the only one in the advertising department.
Zhang Lei, Director of the Printing Department, is 42 years old. He has been engaged in printing work for nearly 20 years and has rich experience. He is the person in charge of the newspaper printing center.
It is indeed an old newspaper. Although it has declined, all departments are complete and the skeleton of the newspaper is still there.
Moreover, these seven people have all worked in the newspaper for at least ten years, and their experience and connections are not a problem. Xia Yu is very satisfied, and he can freely reform the newspaper.
