Chapter 12 Basic Dog Training Techniques
Start with a picture, and the content depends entirely on editing.
Waving the photos in his hand, Chen Guanjiang said dismissively, "See? From now on, all photos should be taken this way. If you can't get a good angle, find one; if you don't have the chance, create one..."
Confusing concepts and distorting meaning by focusing on the wording;
Distorting facts and taking things out of context.
These are the four winning strategies of the "uncrowned king," the supreme power of the modern "fourth estate."
“…………”
Both remained silent, refusing to stoop to their level. The values they learned in school and their commitment to justice led them to uphold the correct public opinion and pursue the truthfulness of news.
Chen Guanjiang took out a bundle of banknotes from the drawer and said, "Two thousand Hong Kong dollars for one set of photos, two sets for four thousand Hong Kong dollars. This price will be the price from now on. Special photos can be negotiated separately."
"For this shift, HKD 1000 will be deducted for equipment, vehicle, and labor costs. I'll forgo my share; each of you will receive HKD 1500..."
They stupidly accepted the money, their minds completely blank.
Even though being a reporter is a high-paying job, Wan Qihua and Zhang Xingjue only have a base salary of HK$330 per month. The money they earn from one shift is equivalent to half a year's salary. What else is there to think about?
Wan Qihua was the first to react, stating, "Boss, I know what to do..."
"I'm going to stake out Shaw Brothers right now!" Zhang Xingjue followed up.
"Don't rush..."
Chen Guanjiang quickly dissuaded him, saying, "The probability of succeeding by chance is too low. If you want to gain anything, you must work together as a team. Now we will break up your original departments and form the Gossip Department. Each shift will have at least four people."
"I will temporarily take command of the Qian Department, and will be responsible for managing, coordinating, and assigning filming tasks to the various teams."
"The Kun Department is responsible for equipment, materials, data, and united front work; other departments must cooperate unconditionally."
"The Xun Department is responsible for vehicle management, transportation, and providing support to colleagues to complete filming. When necessary, they need to drive to track the filming location."
"The earthquake unit is responsible for action filming. Each shift requires at least two people who take turns staking out and resting to lock onto the target."
"When the Eight Trigrams Department is first established, I will not ask for a share of the profits. As for how you set up your own factions and how the remuneration is distributed, I will not care or ask any questions."
"What kind of people you hire, how well you retain talent, and how your team develops are all things you need to control yourself..."
As Chen Guanjiang's promises grew ever larger, Wan Qihua and Zhang Xingjue's greed intensified, and they couldn't wait to form a "pack of dogs" with themselves at the head.
As a seasoned professional dog hunter, Chen Guanjiang knew all too well that dog packs were uncontrollable; they would only sell photos to whoever offered the highest price, and had no loyalty whatsoever. Once unleashed, they would bite indiscriminately.
Moreover, not everyone has a camera and microphone these days, so building a pack of dogs would be extremely costly.
Renting a car and cameras would cost HK$20,000, and Chen Guanjiang couldn't afford the expense of setting up multiple dog packs. It would be better to let them form their own teams from the beginning.
By enticing them with huge profits to transform into dogs, Chen Guanjiang has already secretly set up a department to control the pack of dogs, and the HK$1000 deducted is the cost of the dog-controlling department.
The two immediately split into two groups!
Wan Qihua rented a car and went to the Shaw Brothers studio. Zhang Xingjue asked for a set of equipment and went to stake out the Shaw Brothers dormitory, as if he were there to pick up money.
New dogs just starting out are always so impetuous.
After staking out several locations and waiting for days, desperately seeking a set of photos without success, the initial excitement turns into torment. Eventually, like an old dog with its tongue lolling out, it lies on the ground in the cold. The only thing that can keep going is greed.
………………
Looking at the report, Chen Guanjiang saw that Miao Kexiu's feature article had only sold 2.2 copies, which was only slightly more than half of the sales of Li Xiaolong's report. He also predicted that the sales of Zou Wenhuai and Liu Lianghua's reports would be similar tomorrow.
For an ordinary newspaper, achieving this result would be something to be proud of, but Chen Guanjiang was quite dissatisfied.
Stars, blood, sex!!
Chen Guanjiang only saw the "stars" in the three essential elements of gossip news, but failed to see the "sex" and "gossip," making his entertainment news reporting utterly terrible.
However, it is understandable that even sensationalist news needs to be done in a proper way, and it takes time for journalists to constantly push the boundaries. It takes time to change mindsets and money to slowly corrupt them.
Immediately, Chen Guanjiang called Tang Yufei to his office and reprimanded him. Instead of being angry, Tang Yufei looked pleased and acted very obediently.
This isn't about being cheap; rather, it's about having climbed to his current position through ten years of social experience. Tang Yufei deeply understands that sometimes being scolded by the boss is also a sign of trust.
Especially when the salary and benefits are good, and there is room for advancement and salary increases, the more they complain, the happier they are. Conversely, if there are neither of these, they probably won't be so happy.
After a bit of manipulation, Chen Guanjiang got down to business and asked, "How's the gossip department coming along?"
Tang Yufei respectfully replied, "Reporting to the boss! The personnel and organizational structure are all in place, and we are ready to start work at any time."
Chen Guanjiang nodded and instructed, "Hand over the less important tasks to Supervisor Hao. From now on, you'll be fully in charge of this department. Perform well... don't let me down!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Yufei was immediately startled. He hadn't expected that he, who had pledged his loyalty, would be stripped of his power and kicked out of the game. However, after a moment's thought, he understood the intention behind it.
The eight trigrams are excluding the first four trigrams: Qian, Kun, Xun, and Zhen.
They also secretly established the four trigram departments of Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui!
Kanbu was responsible for intelligence gathering, including identifying the facial features, license plates, and frequented locations of prominent figures in Hong Kong.
The department is responsible for providing legal aid, reviewing documents to avoid lawsuits, and mediating or appearing in court when necessary.
The Gen Department is responsible for the communications hub, handling phone calls and various business operations, and providing support to the shift team at any time.
The "Delivery Department" consists of non-permanent staff members from high-traffic areas. They are entitled to a guaranteed minimum salary of HKD 50 for the first three months. They are rewarded for reporting issues and assisting in completing filming, depending on the circumstances.
Before long, celebrities and socialites will become vigilant and take precautions, and various high-end venues will set up barriers to prevent paparazzi from taking photos. The situation of being unguarded will inevitably come to an end.
At that time, the importance of the last four trigrams will become apparent!
The four departments control the travel information of celebrities and socialites, provide legal aid to ensure that the front line has no worries, and use timely and real-time information as a hub to keep the dogs' bones in their hands from the source.
The first four divisions that go on duty lack logistical capabilities, while the latter four divisions that have strong logistical support will not go on duty. Only by dividing the core functions into two and controlling them separately can they remain in a stable position.
Since Chen Guanjiang had entrusted him with control of the latter four trigrams, he would not hand over the former four trigrams to him again, lest they be sidelined or he worry that Chen Guanjiang would start his own independent operation.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the positions of editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief will fall to the two individuals who control the two core functions, respectively.
In contrast, the four departments in the back, which control data and logistics, are significantly more important to the newspaper than the four departments in the front. I, who control the four departments in the back, will be the editor-in-chief.
"Thanks for your guidance, boss. I know what to do now..."
"Really? I'm looking forward to it."
“…………”
After leaving the office, Tang Yufei went straight to the information editing department.
He reluctantly handed over some authority to Hao Yuze;
The emotions of jealousy and resentment are displayed in a "reasonable" manner.
Of course, this is far from enough!
A few days later, using this as an excuse...
Tang Yufei also had a huge argument with Hao Yuze, expressing his intention to sever ties with his family and friends, forcing other employees to take sides and reach a point where they would never speak to each other again...
