The TV station in City N is short of money, and everyone in the TV station knows this.
It costs money to pay employees, money to purchase and maintain equipment, and even electricity bills.
Where does this money come from? Of course we cannot rely on the meager financial allocation, which is not even enough to cover electricity bills.
In the final analysis, a TV station is a public institution that mainly relies on advertising revenue, supplemented by radio and television network revenue, and is responsible for its own profits and losses.
However, since the merger of N city TV stations, most of the key staff have left, and the quality and ratings of TV programs have also plummeted. Advertisers are not fools. After seeing that the advertising results are not good, they will not renew the advertising contract after the end.
The TV station in City N is already half-dead, and its advertising revenue can barely maintain the wages of its employees. The five million advertising fees are enough for the TV station in City N to last for a while.
As the saying goes, people have to lower their heads when they are under the eaves. Ke Housheng's move really captured the lifeblood of N City TV Station.
"I won't make it difficult for you. This matter is indeed a bit unreasonable and can easily hurt the reporter's feelings... Well, the 6% commission on this advertising fee will be counted on this Nie Cai. Anyway, he is the one who gave Taili The revenue created, he shouldn’t disagree!”
After Luo Rong finished speaking, knowing that he was wrong, he quickly hung up the phone and let Xu Jiehao handle it by himself.
Having said that, he believed Xu Jiehao would know what to do.
"Nie Cai, there is something I want to tell you..."
Xu Jiehao opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse, as if he couldn't speak.
I had just praised Nie Cai for doing a good job, but in the blink of an eye I had to tell Nie Cai to withdraw the manuscript. This was too embarrassing.
Nie Cai's hearing was sharp and he had already heard what was on the phone just now. As soon as Xu Jiehao opened his mouth, he knew what he was going to say.
"Director Xu, let's talk it over first. It's now time. If you want to withdraw the manuscript, I definitely won't agree to it."
Nie Cai deliberately pretended to be joking and swallowed the words in Xu Jiehao's stomach with just one sentence.
He heard what Director Luo said on the phone about giving him an advertising commission. Six percent of three million was 180,000. This amount of money was not a small sum for Nie Cai in the past.
When Nie Fei went to the United States and received treatment, Nie Cai already took money very lightly.
Besides, Li Wei hated Ke Zhenyu so much. If she agreed to withdraw the manuscript, it would be like accepting money from the Ke family in disguise. How would she think of herself in the future? Then he must be despised by her
"How did you know I was going to retract the manuscript!"
Xu Jiehao said slightly depressed, but Nie Cai disrupted his planned words with just one sentence.
"The leader just told me that Ke Housheng, the general manager of the Aoke 4S store, has placed 5 million ads and secured prime-time ads for several channels of our n city TV station."
He emphasized the words five million, fearing that Nie Cai might not hear clearly.
"What, five million?"
As soon as Xu Jiehao finished speaking, the people around him suddenly exclaimed in low voices.
Although the news department has little connection with the advertising business, everyone is still very sensitive about money matters.
Everyone knows the situation of the TV station in City N very well, that is, one word - "poor" and two words "very poor".
If it is a powerful TV station, such as CCTV, Mango Channel, etc., there is no need to solicit advertisements at all. Instead, advertisers will ask for it.
However, the advertising department of N City TV Station has not taken on such a big order for a long time. The entire N City TV Station is living in a tight situation, and even wages are in arrears for two months.
Now that I have finally accepted such a big order, it is estimated that the salary performance of N City TV Station should be settled, and even the bonus at the end of the year is expected.
"Nie Cai, just withdraw the manuscript. There are hundreds of people in Taiwan waiting eagerly for their wages."
Xiao Li took the opportunity to speak, as if he was fanning the flames and fearing that the world would not be in chaos.
His thoughts were also the thoughts of most people present. After all, for them, money is the most real thing.
"No, this manuscript cannot be withdrawn."
Nie Cai, however, did not back down at all and spoke categorically.
"We can't withdraw. If you want to be a saint, are you going to let us drink from the northwest wind? Don't be too heartless!"
Xiao Li beside him spoke exaggeratedly, deliberately raising his voice.
"Yes, yes, Xiao Nie, you may have just come to n city TV station and don't know the situation of the TV station..."
Immediately, someone came over to persuade Nie Cai. This was because Xiao Zhi was moved by emotion and reason.
"Xiao Nie, I also know that this is a bit unethical, but you can still get 6% of the advertising commission, which is regarded as your compensation..."
Xu Jiehao knew he was in the wrong and said quickly, hoping to use advertising money to impress Nie Cai.
Six percent of three million is 180,000. This amount of money is by no means a small amount. Any other reporter would have gone crazy with joy.
However, he was soon disappointed. Faced with the temptation of advertising money, Nie Cai still shook his head resolutely, looking unmoved.
"Why are you like this, blocking people's way of making money? Are you sick?"
Seeing that Nie Cai refused to eat anything, and looked like he couldn't eat anything, Xiao Li next to him suddenly couldn't stand it anymore and started to curse.
If you withdraw a manuscript, you can earn 180,000 yuan. This kind of good thing almost makes him jealous to death.
If the same thing were asked of him, I'm afraid he would have agreed long ago, for fear that others would regret it.
But Nie Cai was unmoved, which made him even more crazy!
"You are the only one who is sick. The news you spend so much effort to produce is your own child. Who would give up their child unless it is a last resort?"
Nie Cai glared at Xiao Li fiercely, and then said: "I am new here. Everyone should be very clear about the current situation of our N City TV station - taking this money may bring benefits in the short term, but it is almost equal to Chronic suicide.”
"Only by paying close attention to the quality of news and looking for high-quality content can we increase the ratings. Without content, news columns that speculate every day or report trivial matters will have high ratings. In the future, everyone will be content with the status quo and encounter violent conflicts. I just want to avoid it, so who dares to petition for the masses and work hard for the column team?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent for a while.
What Nie Cai said is not unreasonable. After all, content is the life of news.
If this precedent is set, who will work desperately to make news? Anyway, it is the fate of someone to take down a sentence.
If you're lucky, you might be able to make some compensation, but if you're not lucky, you'll just throw it away in one sentence, and your hard work and labor will be wasted.
For a long time, Xu Jiehao took a deep breath and then said slowly: "What you said makes sense."
"It makes no sense to just covet immediate profits. This is almost equivalent to doing paid news, destroying the fairness and purity of news, corroding our news team, and ultimately destroying the credibility of our N City TV station. By then our n-city TV station will really be hopeless."
"Continue uploading the news, no need to modify it."
After speaking, he gritted his teeth and motioned to the editor to continue uploading the news.
Next to him, Xiao Li's face was on fire from Xu Jiehao's two or three words, as if these words were about him.
"Director Xu, thank you."
Nie Cai was a little impressed by Xu Jiehao's words. After all, he was a veteran journalist for many years. He had a high level of party spirit and spoke well.
Staring at the pressure to let this news air, he was under the greatest pressure. I was afraid that someone would have to talk to him afterwards.
However, now that he has made the decision, unless the station really wants to fall out, this news will definitely be broadcast tonight.
Soon, the program was uploaded, and Nie Cai could finally breathe a sigh of relief and leave after get off work.
When he got to the parking lot of his unit, Nie Cai was about to get in the car and leave, but he saw that the reporter Li who he had just been fighting with happened to be here too.
"Oh, it turns out he is a rich second generation, no wonder he has to be moved by money!"
This Xiao Li's name is Li Wenjun. He has a little money at home and drives a white Audi A4L. He was originally wondering in the morning why there was an extra yellow sports car on the TV station, but he didn't expect it to be the new Nie Cai. car.
"It's just borrowing someone else's car, why can't I do it?"
Nie Cai frowned. After all, they were all from the same column group. Why did Li Wei feel like he was always against him
He didn't bother to care about Li Wenjun, he just slammed the car door and walked away.
Just as he was leaving the TV station, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
Nie Cai clicked on the center console and answered the call using Bluetooth.
"Nie Cai, it's me, Sun Ying."
Sun Ying's clear voice came from the phone: "I heard you passed the interview, congratulations!"
This Sun Ying's information was too ill-informed. She was already at work before she thought of calling.
"Barely... Anyway, the person you found is so unreliable that he actually suffered a myocardial infarction!"
Nie Cai felt extremely unhappy when he remembered that Deputy Director Zhou was absent from the interview due to myocardial infarction.
This Sun Ying exerted almost no effort. He relied on his own strength and performance to pass the entire interview. If it were Sun Ying's so-called arrangement, Nie Cai would be kicked out in the first step. What's the point? Such grandiose words as using City N’s TV station as a springboard to enter CCTV
"Accident, it was indeed an accident. I didn't expect that he would have a myocardial infarction."
Sun Ying seemed a little helpless and said: "You can now go to xx Building on xx Road to find the person in charge of my performing arts company in province x. I will send the phone number to your mobile phone in a moment, and she will give you Zhang Xinyu's information. Next Everything depends on your hard work. When you make some achievements, I will get you to the central stage to fulfill my agreement with you!"
"good."
When Nie Cai heard Zhang Xinyu's name, his heart moved and he immediately agreed.
It would be best to arrange a place to live. Nie Cai agreed to live here with Li Wei just to protect her. Now that Ke Zhenyu's matter has been resolved, it is unreasonable for Nie Cai to continue to live under the influence of others and live in a woman's home.
What's more, when he heard Zhang Xinyu's name, Nie Cai's heart seemed to move, as if he wanted to get this information right away.
Even he didn't know why he was so concerned about Zhang Xinyu's affairs. Maybe it wasn't because he was forced by Sun Ying...
