After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 287 The King Meets the King

Zhong Jiantong was neither fired nor resigned.

He was simply reassigned to a different position.

I went to the city channel.

They completely distanced themselves from places of trouble.

Meanwhile, Tian Kai is going to the newly established entertainment channel, and he may take 4-5 sales staff with him.

This means that the sales department of the lifestyle channel needs to launch a new round of large-scale recruitment.

Meng Xuemin consulted Zhou Haoran about this matter: "Why don't you go for the interviews and pick a few salespeople?"

"Me? Am I suitable?"

Zhou Haoran wasn't interested.

Meng Xuemin said, "It's very suitable."

"You decide what to do. I don't have many people to recommend. Sales is all about performance; if you don't do well, you'll get fired."

If Zhou Haoran wanted to introduce any relatives or friends to work at the TV station, it certainly wouldn't be a sales position.

Meng Xuemin gave him a deep look. "My position has been approved."

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "Congratulations!"

Meng Xuemin said, "Next month, I will give up my position as director. Chang Lesheng will take over, and the title of deputy director will be vacant."

"Oh."

Zhou Haoran remained calm.

Meng Xuemin suggested, "Why don't you become the deputy director?"

"Me?" Zhou Haoran was surprised. "Am I too young for this?"

Meng Xuemin said, "If you want to continue occupying this office, you'd better have a leadership position."

Zhou Haoran chuckled, "The office still needs to be reserved for me. It's for Qiao Nuo to use. She's a woman, and it's not convenient for her to be crammed into a big office with a bunch of men."

Her original plan was to have Qiao Nuo expand into new territory on the entertainment channel.

However, she was timid and unwilling.

In her words, "Wherever my master is, that's where I'll be."

Then stay.

Zhou Haoran continued, "If you ask me, this office should be renamed. It shouldn't be called 'Director's Office' anymore; it should be called 'Sales Champion's Office.' Then it would be perfectly reasonable for her to be here."

Meng Xuemin asked, puzzled, "Isn't she going to be transferred to another position?"

Zhou Haoran said, "The company's arrangement is for her to go to the editorial department, but what's the point? She might as well stay in the sales department."

"Whatever you want. I've never met anyone like you before." Meng Xuemin shook his head, his tone complicated. "You actually succeeded. Yi Changping brought it up at the general office meeting, saying he would give you the recommendation quota for welfare housing."

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "That shows he keeps his word."

Meng Xuemin frowned slightly. "What are you thinking? Are you just going to stay in the sales department? The director thinks you should work on a program to gain some experience. He says you have a talent for it."

"talk later!"

Zhou Haoran now treats his job at the TV station as a part-time job, hoping to make it easy for him.

Meng Xuemin sighed and said earnestly, "The 'People's Livelihood Investigation' program is going to be moved to the general channel. It's been decided. The program will be off-air for about ten days during the Spring Festival. After the Spring Festival, it will be broadcast on the general channel in a completely new format."

"pity."

Zhou Haoran nodded.

He now understands that it was nothing more than an exchange of interests among the leaders of Taiwan.

However, he also has some real advantages.

If "People's Livelihood Survey" hadn't been excluded, given his contributions, he might not have been able to secure a recommendation for welfare housing.

"Let's play it safe for now and wait until after the Spring Festival when things are clearer in all aspects before making any decisions."

Meng Xuemin was really afraid that this kid would cause some big trouble again during this period.

Zhou Haoran was a little confused.

I thought to myself, "I'm perfectly fine, what big trouble could I possibly cause?"
It wasn't until the afternoon that I understood what Director Meng's implication meant.

The general channel has sent an invitation!
We want him and "People's Livelihood Investigation" to develop on a bigger stage on the general channel!

They even made promises.

If Zhou Haoran proposes two more major topics that gain recognition in "People's Livelihood Investigation," he will have the opportunity to establish his own school of thought... He could serve as a producer and create a television program!
It can be said that they have shown great sincerity.

Zhou Haoran naturally wouldn't agree.

However, when Hu Xiaochen heard about it during dinner that evening, she felt it was a pity, saying that if he had agreed, she, as his apprentice, would also have had the opportunity to "ascend to heaven with his chickens and dogs" (meaning that one person's success would bring benefits to all his relatives and friends).

The next day, Zhou Haoran brought Qiao Nuo with him.

Go find Aunt Wan and Sister Yangyang.

Exchange the last foreign currency.

They had already exchanged $120 million, leaving $30 remaining.

A total of $150 million was exchanged.

This almost wiped out his entire fortune.

They emptied the master and apprentice's savings account, and that's not all; Yangyang's trading company also took 220 million yuan.

After summarizing everything...

There's still 82 yuan left in her secret stash. Yangyang's trading company also has 125 million yuan in cash flow.

Qiao Nuo comforted him, smiling and saying, "Master, it's alright. The payment for the letters has been coming in all the time. I estimate that we'll have several million more before spring. And my previous sales commissions have all gone into my secret stash."

"Huh?" Zhou Haoran was somewhat surprised, "Commission?"

"Ok!"

"That's for you."

“Our little treasury, where we put your money and mine.” Qiao Nuo turned to look at him with a smug look on her face. “This is what our senior sister said; she put her salary in there too.”

Zhou Haoran was speechless. "You've been fooled by her, haven't you? She only put in her salary, which is only two thousand yuan. But you put in your commission, which is two or three hundred thousand!"

Qiao Nuo wasn't obsessed with money. "It's okay, it's all from you anyway."

Zhou Haoran suddenly remembered something and said while driving, "Oh right, I remember you said that your father works at SAIC, right?"

"Yes, a junior manager."

"I'm smiling," Qiao Nuo said.

Her family is well-off; otherwise, she wouldn't have become a key talent for rotational training as soon as she joined the TV station.

Zhou Haoran chuckled and said, "The director of the quality assurance department? Is this still considered a junior manager?"

Qiao Nuo sensed something was wrong. "Is there something you need?"

Zhou Haoran said, "My dad works in a machine factory as a stamping worker. But the factory's performance hasn't been good these past few years, and he might be laid off. I was thinking about whether we could transfer him to SAIC Motor, to work in logistics or something."

“Okay, I’ll go home and talk to my dad tonight!” Qiao Nuo said casually and confidently. “Sure, if my dad doesn’t agree, I’ll call my brother and my younger brother too.”

"In my bag, there is a photocopy of my father's file."

"okay!"

"When do you think I'll have a chance to visit you at your home?"

Zhou Haoran was also a little embarrassed.

There's a wave of layoffs right now, and everyone's trying to use connections and ask for favors to keep their status as state-owned workers.

Changing jobs at this point would probably be quite difficult.

Jono exclaimed excitedly, "Sure, let's meet, king to king!"

"Huh?" Zhou Haoran was taken aback. "What do you mean, 'a king meeting a king'?"

Qiao Nuo said with a grin, "Didn't you say you were my dad? Two dads, let's go meet them!"

Zhou Haoran shuddered. "I think you've been influenced by bad company, haven't you? What kind of rubbish have you picked up from Hu Xiaochen!"

I went to Pudong and met Aunt Wan and Sister Yangyang.

Let's go together to discuss business with foreign trade merchants.

This kind of private currency exchange uses black market rates, which are about 5% more expensive than official exchange rates, and it's legally justifiable. Many people who need to exchange more foreign currency, or who don't have these channels with foreign trade merchants, have no choice but to turn to underground money changers, which is not only illegal, but also involves commissions as high as 20%.

“150 million US dollars…” Ji Yingyang thought this was too much. “What are you going to do with it?”

Zhou Haoran said, "Invest!"

"What should we invest in?"

"internet."

"what?"

Ji Yingyang opened his eyes wide.

Qiao Nuo quickly said, "Sister Yangyang, my mentor is a computer expert. He's amazing! He's published all his papers, and he knows the internet like the back of his hand. He said he's going to buy internet stocks, and he's sure to succeed!"

Ji Yingyang said with concern, "Business and technology are quite different."

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "There's not much difference!"

Ji Yingyang said, "Internet stocks are too risky. It's better to buy Cisco stock. I know Cisco is amazing; it's a very powerful company."

Zhou Haoran nodded. "Cisco's stock is good, but the internet is even better. Yangyang, don't worry. Take a few days off to go to Hong Kong Island, set up the offshore company and accounts, and exchange the foreign currency. Our future success overseas depends on this first pot of gold."

Ji Yingyang sighed softly, "It's good that you've made your decision."

Sheng Wenwan chuckled and said, "Even if the investment fails, it doesn't matter. The domestic industry is still there, and money can be earned back. Zhongbo Data is gaining momentum. 'The Song of Everlasting Regret' has been published and is selling very well."

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "Aunt Wan is very generous!"

Sheng Wenwan rolled her eyes at him and said in a low voice, "The cooperation between Zhongbo Bookstore and Mengya Magazine is progressing smoothly. The 'Zhongbo New Concept Composition' competition has already been launched. It will be officially launched after the Spring Festival."

"Good thing!"

By accomplishing this, Zhou Haoran has essentially stepped into the cultural sphere.

Jono was very interested in this and volunteered, "I'll be in charge of promoting it at the universities!"

Zhou Haoran suggested, "Why don't you coordinate this essay competition?"

“Me?” Jono’s eyes widened in disbelief. “I don’t have that skill level.”

Zhou Haoran pondered for a moment and said, "The best approach would be a collaboration between Zhongbo Bookstore, the Writers Association, and Red Star TV to broadcast the event live on television... This would ensure transparency and increase its reach."

Qiao Nuo was eager to try, "Shall I represent Zhongbo Bookstore and the TV station?"

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "That's right, we need the involvement of a TV station. Relying solely on Zhongbo Bookstore, we probably can't compete with those people in the Writers' Association. Once this is done, you can set up your own writing team."

"Me?" Qiao Nuo blushed slightly. "What should I write?"

Zhou Haoran said, “Writing letters? It’s too tiring for you to do it all by yourself. When you have time, you can also lead a team to write a few best-selling books… This time when we go to the United States, let’s buy more foreign conspiracy theory books, Rockefeller, Rothschild, Freemasonry, Knights of the Round Table, etc. You can just adapt them to your liking. Americans like to read conspiracy theories, and so do people in China. It might even sell better than ‘The Song of Everlasting Regret’.”
