After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 648 A Ten-Thousand-Word Letter

The next day, which was Saturday.

Zhou Haoran invited Jin Suo out again. They had a meal, went to the mall and bought several sets of winter clothes and cosmetics. Then they went to Hongqiao Airport together.

"Brother, it's so good to be rich."

Jin Suo turned around and glanced at the things she had bought on the back seat of the shopping cart, feeling quite accomplished with a full load of purchases.

Zhou Haoran didn't answer, but asked, "What's your mother's decision? Is she going back to her hometown?"

"We want it back."

Jin Suo nodded gently.

Zhou Haoran hummed in agreement. "Then I'll find a place for you to move in after she goes back. The place you're renting is too dilapidated, it's like a dangerous building, it'll be demolished in a few years."

"Keeping a mistress in a golden house?"

Jin Suo smiled broadly.

"Correct."

Zhou Haoran readily admitted it.

Jin Suo pursed her lips and said, "After you left last night, my mother pulled me aside and talked to me for more than an hour."

"What to talk about?"

“She’s going back to her hometown, so I’m a little worried. She told me I’m still young and can’t have sex with anyone. She told me to be restrained and to be careful to protect myself… She gave me a bunch of high-sounding advice.”

"Well, it should be."

Zhou Haoran also agreed with this statement.

"The students at our school, all of them..."

Jin Suo sighed, feeling it was unfair.

Zhou Haoran said seriously, "What are you comparing yourself to them for? You can become a star, but can they? It's right for a girl to keep herself pure and chaste. The more self-respecting you are, the more respect you will earn."

"Oh." Jin Suo asked absentmindedly, "Brother, are we going to the airport to pick up that sister? The one you mentioned last time, your other goddaughter."

"No, I'm going to pick up President Tang."

Zhou Haoran went to pick up Tang Shiyi, who had just returned from the Hong Kong government.

"President Tang?"

Jin Suo raised an eyebrow.

Zhou Haoran said, "Mr. Tang of Tangren Media, from now on your agency relationship will be with Tangren Media."

In "My Fair Princess", Jin Suo was just an insignificant minor character.

Therefore, she did not sign with Qiong Yao's agency.

This resulted in her being left out of the later Qiong Yao drama "Romance in the Rain," and she had a very difficult early career, taking many detours.

Things are different now. With Zhou Haoran by my side, everything can be solved.

Upon meeting Tang Shiyi, Jin Suo lost her carefree and unrestrained demeanor and became like a well-behaved girl.

They bowed repeatedly and said flattering things.

She was afraid that President Tang wouldn't like her.

"This is……"

Tang Shiyi did not know who this was.

Jin Suo pulled down her mask and said ingratiatingly, "President Tang, I'm Bingbing."

"Oh!" Tang Shiyi finally understood. "From now on, sign with Tangren Media. Filming for 'Spring Bright Pigsy' will start after the Spring Festival. I'll arrange a small role for you so you can get some experience."

Jin Suo smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Mr. Tang."

Tang Shiyi's trip to the Hong Kong government was mainly to confirm the second-run broadcast rights for "The Deer and the Cauldron". This drama features polygamy, and although it is very entertaining, its audience is far less than that of previous hits like "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" and "Princess Pearl".

Fortunately, with the emergence of two phenomenal dramas, the market has been hyped up!

A blockbuster drama series, with a procurement cost of 400 million yuan, has become the standard!

Although only 11 television stations nationwide invested in purchasing the rights, which is only half the amount of "My Fair Princess," the copyright revenue still exceeded 5000 million yuan.

As the copyright holder, TVB receives a 20% cut, amounting to a whopping 1000 million!
It's important to know that the biggest characteristic of TVB dramas is their low cost.

The total investment for this film was only HK$300 million.

The male lead, Jordan Chan, was paid less than HK$10.

The first collaboration between Tangren Media and TVB earned the latter a fortune, making subsequent collaborations virtually unbreakable.

I'm back from the Hong Kong government this time.

Tang Shiyi also brought back 20 mobile phones.

It's the latest model in Motorola's "Pocket Edition" series, the V998, which cost a total of HK$10.

This model has not yet been launched in mainland China.

Yet it is very famous.

The Pocket Treasure series is equivalent to the iPhone series in the mobile phone industry twenty years later.

Expensive, yet cutting-edge.

At only 10 centimeters in size, it's incredibly compact... This means that mobile phones have completely bid farewell to the era of bulky bricks.

Zhou Haoran's previous phone was also a small, portable device, but now he can upgrade to a new one.

That's why I bought so many.

It's to give a gift.

The next day, Zhang Huamei took her daughter to Tangren Media to sign a contract.

Zhou Haoran then took out his phone.

This one is silver.

It was given to Jin Suo.

She doesn't have a cell phone yet, only a pager.

Excited to have a cell phone, she threw herself into Zhou Haoran's arms and kissed him right in front of her mother. Zhou Haoran, wanting to test her, held her close and kissed her passionately for several minutes, his hands caressing her back, waist, and hips. After the kiss, he looked at Zhang Huamei.

Zhang Huamei's expression was indeed somewhat complicated, but fortunately she had a smile on her face and a flattering tone, "Mr. Da, don't always spend money on Bingbing. You bought so many clothes and cosmetics yesterday, and this time you gave her a cell phone... Don't spoil her."

Zhou Haoran held Jin Suo in his arms and said with a smile, "It's okay, we're raising our daughters with luxury."

Now that the signing was complete, Zhang Huamei felt relieved. After thinking for a moment, she cautiously asked, "Mr. Sir, I heard from Bingbing that you're going to arrange a house for her?"

"Yes, your current house is too old. It can't even have an air conditioner installed, and it's too cold in winter. I'll give her a new house. Sister Zhang, don't worry about Bingbing. I'll definitely take good care of her!"

Zhou Haoran owns many properties.

They are all located in the core areas of Huangpu, Xuhui, and Lujiazui, and there are more than a hundred houses.

It's just empty anyway.

"Sir, I don't know how to thank you enough!"

Zhang Huamei bowed slightly, even though she had witnessed her daughter's intimate behavior with him, she still subconsciously lowered her head, her back bent by the weight of money.

Then they made an agreement.

After the Spring Festival, she stopped coming to the harbor and entrusted her daughter to him.

Zhou Haoran's responsibilities have become even greater.

……

On Monday, the arts troupe provided feedback on the various reform proposals put forward by Zhou Haoran.

All leaders at or above the section level must offer their opinions.

Zhou Haoran received 63 letters.

"The entire broadcasting arts troupe has just over 1200 members, and 63 of them are leaders at the section chief level or above..."

Zhou Haoran really wanted to take drastic measures and remove all these administrative ranks.

“Master, I think it’s fine.”

Qiao Nuo, being a thoughtful and caring daughter, helped her mentor organize these opinion reports.

"good?"

Zhou Haoran couldn't stand those parasites who held positions without doing any work.

Qiao Nuo took out a letter and said with a smile, "Master, look at this letter..."

“So thick?”

"Yes, this is a ten-thousand-word letter! It's over ten pages handwritten. Regardless of whether the content is well-written or not, the attitude is very positive and inspiring!"

"Who is this?"

Zhou Haoran faces two thorny issues in managing the Red Star Broadcasting Art Troupe.

First, I want to win over some people.

I don't know who to take down.

Secondly, I want to promote some people.

I don't know who to promote.

"His name is... Tang Xu, and he is an inspector for an art troupe."

Jono stayed by his master's side, and in particular, he compiled several books on conspiracy theories, which greatly broadened his knowledge.

"Inspectors..." Zhou Haoran suddenly realized, "They've been sidelined."

Qiao Nuo said, "Yes, Master, I don't believe that all 63 cadres with ranks are leaders. Most of them have ranks but can only do some marginal and idle work."

"No wonder he wrote a ten-thousand-word letter!"

Zhou Haoran then realized that this Inspector Tang wanted to take this opportunity to showcase his talents to the new leader in hopes of being given an important position.

Qiao Nuo blinked her crystal-clear eyes and said, "Master, this is the good thing I was talking about. So many idle positions, so many high-ranking cadres in marginal posts. If you want to use your confidants, don't choose from those who currently hold positions, but pick these people in marginal posts and give them a chance to start over."

"Yeah, sure!"

Zhou Haoran thought this idea was feasible.

Many people who once held administrative ranks have now been relegated to marginal positions.

There are only a few reasons.

First, his past performance was poor, leading to a job reassignment.
Second, he made a mistake and was punished.
Third, choosing the wrong side leads to loss of power.

Poor business skills are unacceptable.

Choosing the wrong side...

This is no big deal!

One emperor and one courtier.

Now that Zhou Haoran is in power, he's given them another chance to choose sides. If they choose correctly, they'll rise from peripheral positions back to core roles. Even if they make some minor mistakes, they're not without a chance to redeem themselves!

"Nono, let's look along this line of thinking!"

Zhou Haoran felt that his young apprentice had made great progress.

Qiao Nuo chuckled and said, "Okay, I'll filter them out for you. I'll give you a general idea, but you'll need to go to the arts troupe to find out more details and do further filtering."

"Alright, let's team up as master and apprentice, we'll be invincible!"

Zhou Haoran was very satisfied.

"Oh dear... Master, we must take this person down, he's gone too far!"

Jono handed over a letter.

"what happened?"

Zhou Haoran considers himself to be very magnanimous and generally dislikes being "punished for his words".

Qiao Nuo snorted, "This guy is so old-fashioned. He says you're young and inexperienced. Since you've come to the arts troupe, you should spend more time getting around and doing research. Reform isn't something that can be done overnight; you can't just start making big changes right away. He's being disrespectful; he's trying to give you pointers!"

"Hmm, with that tone, he'll definitely be unruly in the future." Zhou Haoran immediately composed himself. "Looks like the 'luring the snake out of its hole' tactic really works. Otherwise, how could we distinguish friend from foe so efficiently? Mark him, I'll check his background later!"
