Chapter 162 Poaching
Sun, Vice President of Shandong Publishing House, is shouldering an important mission in participating in the Canton Fair this time.
Before leaving for the Canton Fair, Li Changfeng specifically sought him out for an in-depth conversation.
"Old Sun, how do you think Qingdao Publishing House is developing?"
"Now Qingdao Publishing House is developing better and better, and more and more comic books are being published."
"Do you know the reason for this?" Li Changfeng asked Vice President Sun with a deep gaze.
"Their comic books are selling extremely well now, and they're even earning foreign exchange!" Vice President Sun replied after thinking for a moment.
Li Changfeng shook his head slightly and continued, “Not only that, Qingdao Publishing House also charges the printing and dyeing factory for designing clothes.
The Canton Fair is held twice a year, and the design fee for clothing is $40.
In addition, this year they have distributed about 1000 million comic books, and their net profit alone is over a million. Last year we only made 40. Now the gap between our publishing house and Qingdao Publishing House is getting bigger and bigger!"
Vice President Sun showed a surprised look and exclaimed: "So many! Qingdao Publishing House used to have a hard time publishing 100 million books a year. Now the profit is this much!"
"Do you know what all this is about?"
"Because they are good at drawing comics and designing clothes?"
"Wrong, because of one person." Li Changfeng said solemnly.
A name suddenly popped up in Vice President Sun's mind: "President, you must be the author of my father's War of Resistance and Police Dog Attack."
"Yes, it's this painter named Jiang Weimin!" Li Changfeng's tone was full of emotion and admiration.
“It was because of his appearance that Qingdao Publishing House was given an extremely excellent comic strip.
Moreover, many of Qingdao Publishing House’s most forward-looking strategies were proposed by him.
Not only that, the clothes that can earn foreign exchange are also designed by him. Can Old Sun imagine how big his role is? "
Vice President Sun nodded slightly and said thoughtfully: "Indeed, such a person has made a huge contribution to Qingdao Publishing House.
President, do you want to transfer him to our publishing house?" Vice President Sun asked tentatively.
"Yes, it doesn't matter whether we can earn foreign exchange from this Canton Fair. As long as you can persuade him to come to our publishing house, it will definitely be a great achievement."
Vice President Sun looked embarrassed and said slowly: "President, Comrade Jiang Weimin has made such great contributions to the publishing house, so his salary at Qingdao Publishing House must be very high.
Moreover, he works at Qingdao Publishing House, and their leaders will definitely not let him go.”
Li Changfeng raised his chin slightly and said confidently: "As long as you can convince him, I have plenty of ways to transfer him here, and the salary will definitely be easy to negotiate!"
"Boss, what kind of treatment will you give him then?"
“He just joined Qingdao Publishing House last year, and he is probably not even a clerk now.
If he can come, our royalties will remain the same, and we will give him whatever Qingdao Publishing House gives him. We will also directly promote him to the rank of section chief and promise to promote him to deputy director in five years.
You know, there is no one who doesn't want to be an official! "Li Changfeng's eyes revealed his determination to win. You know, a deputy division-level position can be used as a deputy county magistrate in a small county.
"For a deputy director in his 20s, the conditions you set are too high!" Vice President Sun widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
Being given a deputy director-level position in his 20s is extremely rare in the entire system.
Li Changfeng raised his chin slightly, his eyes revealing determination and confidence.
“We have to offer conditions that Qingdao Publishing House cannot afford.
Think about it, the president of Qingdao Publishing House is only at the department level. If he wants to be promoted to deputy department, he has to be the deputy president. Can they afford it? It's impossible.
We are different. We are a provincial-level unit, and we have relatively more deputy-division-level positions.
Comrade Jiang Weimin's talent and ability are obvious to all. His arrival will surely bring new vitality and brilliant achievements to our publishing house.
By then, everyone will benefit from it and have better development opportunities.”
Li Changfeng's words are full of longing and expectation for the future.
"Okay, President. I understand. I will definitely win him over. No one can refuse such good conditions."
"Don't worry, President. Faced with such attractive conditions, no one would be unmoved. I will definitely try my best to make him choose to join our publishing house."
It was in this context that Vice President Sun, after some consideration and preparation, privately approached Jiang Weimin.
Then Vice President Sun slowly explained the favorable conditions offered by Shandong Publishing House.
"Comrade Jiang Weimin, the conditions offered by our publishing house are really very generous.
You see, as long as you can continue to display your talents and create excellent works, we promise to promote you to the deputy director level within 5 years.
You were only in your early 20s at that time, and this was an opportunity that many people dream of.
Moreover, our publishing house is a provincial unit with a broad platform and rich resources, which can provide you with more space and better support for your development. "
However, Jiang Weimin shook his head slightly after hearing this, and said firmly: "I'm sorry, President Sun, I don't want to leave Qingdao Publishing House for the time being.
Qingdao Publishing House treats me very well, and I feel warmth and care here.
And my position will be steadily promoted. I am still young and not in a hurry to pursue a high position.
I hope to be able to work hard in a familiar environment and contribute my own strength to the publishing house."
Jiang Weimin had his own considerations in mind. He knew that the college entrance examination would be open soon, and with his ability, he would at least be able to get a position at the section level after graduating from university.
In addition, over the years at Qingdao Publishing House, he has established deep feelings and good cooperative relationships with his colleagues.
He believed that with his hard work and talent, it was not impossible for him to become the vice president of Qingdao Publishing House.
However, the promotion to deputy director level in five years promised by Shandong Publishing House seemed too unrealistic to him.
A lot can happen in 5 years, and the future is full of uncertainty.
He didn't want to give up everything he had now for an uncertain promise.
"Comrade Jiang Weimin, you are still too young. Do you know what the deputy director level represents?
The deputy director level is equivalent to a deputy county magistrate in charge of a county with a population of 10 to 20! That is a real power and responsibility.
Being able to display your talents on a bigger stage. Such opportunities don’t come around all the time, you really should consider it.”
Jiang Weimin responded with a firm look in his eyes, neither humble nor arrogant: "President Sun, I know what the deputy director level means, but now I just want to draw good comic strips, earn foreign exchange for the country, and do my part.
In my opinion, this is the most important thing I should do right now, and it is also the most meaningful thing.”
Vice President Sun was slightly stunned, and then continued to persuade: "Comrade Jiang Weimin, this is not a conflict! We can also draw comic strips at our Shandong Publishing House!
Our publishing house has strong strength and abundant resources, and can provide better conditions and support for your creation.
You can continue to use your talents and realize your value here. "
Jiang Weimin shook his head and said sincerely: "President Sun, Qingdao Publishing House has been very kind to me.
Here, I have been given the opportunity to grow and exercise, and I can't leave easily.
If I have any job-related requests, our President Song will probably agree to it.
I believe that as long as I work hard and constantly improve myself, I can achieve my life goals at Qingdao Publishing House."
"But your publishing house will definitely not agree to your request for a deputy director-level position!" Vice President Sun said anxiously, trying to break Jiang Weimin's psychological defenses.
“President Sun, a lot can happen in 5 years!”
Jiang Weimin's words are double entendres. On the one hand, he implies that Shandong Publishing House's promises are unreliable and the future is full of uncertainty.
On the other hand, it also implies that one can reach this position in the future through one's own efforts and talents without having to rely on the promises of others.
Vice President Sun saw that Jiang Weimin was determined and knew that further communication would lead to no results.
So he sighed helplessly and said: "Comrade Jiang Weimin, you have time to carefully consider our conditions. If you have any ideas, you can contact me at any time!
I sincerely hope that you will consider it carefully and don’t miss this rare opportunity.”
After saying that, Vice President Sun turned and left.
Since he had no intention of going to Shandong Publishing House, Jiang Weimin decided to tell Feng Nan the next day that President Sun came to see him.
He knew very well that there were many people and many gossips. If someone saw it and spread it, and finally heard it from Feng Nan, it might cause unnecessary misunderstanding.
Instead of that, it is better to confess on your own initiative.
Jiang Weimin found Feng Nan and told him the whole story.
After hearing Jiang Weimin's retelling, Feng Nan was immediately furious. "This Shandong Publishing House is so dishonest. They actually used this method! How could they do this? Isn't this poaching?"
Then Feng Nan asked, "By the way, Xiao Jiang, what conditions did Shandong Publishing House offer you?"
Jiang Weimin shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "There are no conditions. Qingdao Publishing House is my home now. I feel warmth and care here.
Moreover, Qingdao Publishing House has been very good to me, giving me full trust and support, allowing me to fully display my talents.
I can’t leave here just because of a little temptation.”
Jiang Weimin had no intention of telling the conditions given by Shandong Publishing House. He knew very well that if he did, it would be like asking for conditions from Qingdao Publishing House.
He didn't want others to misunderstand him as a profit-seeking person.
Feng Nan was very happy to hear Jiang Weimin's words, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
