Chapter 249: He Xi Division
It was not yet June, but the weather was getting warmer.
In the morning, Meng Huo, who got out of the car, felt a gust of heat and couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Uncle Lin, you go back first and pick me up at noon."
He turned around and said to the driver. The driver nodded and left in a black car. Meng Huo covered the sun with his hands and walked towards the Phoenix Building.
"Good morning, Teacher He Xi!"
The security guard at the door saw him and took the initiative to open the door for him.
"Thanks."
Meng Huo expressed his gratitude to him. The security guard lowered his head in surprise and walked into the building. Several women playing with their cell phones at the front desk also noticed Meng Huo and hurriedly put down his cell phone and said hello: "Good morning, Teacher He Xi."
Meng Huo laughed and continued to walk towards the elevator.
"I'm so scared, why did Teacher He Xi come today..."
"I don't know, he didn't show up for a long time. We just played with our phones, wouldn't it make him angry, right?"
"Probably not..."
Listening to the meticulous murmur behind him, Meng Huo walked into the elevator and breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't come to Phoenix Company for a long time, and this time he came because Alice informed him that the company had a meeting for him to attend.
What kind of meeting is it?
Meng Huo was curious, but when he walked into the office, he found that there was no one inside. This huge office was now used by two people. Alice bought her own office equipment opposite Meng Huo. There was a lot of information on the table, but Meng Huo's desk was very empty, with only office pens.
He walked to his desk, and the chairs and tabletops were very clean. He said that the upper floor was not stained, which shows that Alice usually helped him clean it carefully.
"Where has she gone?"
Take out the comics from the bookshelf and read them for ten minutes. Meng Huo didn't wait until Alice came back, and did not reply to the message.
He got up and went out to look for it. He went to the game production department first. The painters and designers were doing Pokemon production. Some elves' 3D prototypes have been set. After Meng Huo saw the simulation screen demonstrated by the computer, he thought he did a very good job.
"Yes, just keep going. I'll review the progress every once in a while... By the way, do you know where Alice is?"
Meng Huo asked these employees.
"Miss Alice?"
Several painters looked at each other, but they didn't see Alice today.
"I remember, there is a recruitment interview today!" A game designer began to think about it and said with a smile: "Sister He Qian went over to participate in the interview. I think Miss Alice should be there too."
"Interview?" Meng Huo frowned slightly: "What interview?"
"Interview with new employees..." the designer explained: "The company has been expanding its recruitment recently. I heard that it seems to be setting up a new department. I don't know whether it is true or false."
Establish a new department?
Meng Huo was stunned. He understood a little. Alice called him over and probably for this reason.
After leaving the game production department, he walked towards the editorial department of "Weekly Boy". Speaking of the new department, it would undoubtedly be an expansion of the comics department. Every magazine in Phoenix Company has a department. The emergence of "Sigh" will naturally form a new magazine department.
But if this is the case, why would Alice and He Qian participate in the interview review? With such doubts, Meng Huo thought that asking the editor directly would get an answer faster. However, when he came to the editorial department of "Weekly Boy", he found that Ye Xiong was not present.
"Teacher He Xi. Drink tea." Editor Sun Yang poured a glass of water to Meng Huo and explained: "The editor-in-chief is participating in the interview screening. You may have to wait half an hour before he will come back."
It was indeed an interview again.
But Meng Huo didn't care. He took a sip of tea and asked:
"Is the company going to set up a comics department for "Xi"?"
He thought the editor should know the answer.
"This...I don't know." However, unexpectedly, Sun Yang shook his head: "The editor-in-chief did not explain, but it should be related to "Xi" magazine. Look at this..."
He took out a piece of paper and handed it to Meng Huo, saying, "This is the draft of the editor-in-chief, some questions he intends to use during the interview."
There are two handwriting problems on the paper.
——What do you think is the highlight of "One Piece"? What is the difference between it and He Xi's previous works? If you were an editor, how would you guide your cartoonists to learn from it?
——What are your prospects and suggestions for the future development of "Qi"?
Judging from the problem alone, Meng Huo is almost certain that the purpose of Phoenix Company's expansion of enrollment is to establish a department for "Spicious".
However, to be honest, Meng Huo did not object to this matter, but he felt that there was no need to do it at this stage. He was the only one who built a department to cooperate with him.
"I'll leave first." After drinking the water, Meng Huo left from the editorial department of "Weekly Boy". He didn't have the patience to wait for Ye Xiong for half an hour, and chose to meet Xu Jing directly.
In the chairman's office, Meng Huo was pulled down by Xu Jing when he entered the door.
"I didn't say I wanted to establish an editorial department for "Xi"." Xu Jing brewed tea, heard Meng Huo's questions and smiled: "You misunderstood. Xi" will not establish a new editorial department for the time being. This is not the reason why you came here today."
"But the new department is really..."
He put a cup of tea in front of Meng Huo and said, "Your "Xi" has discovered a problem for the company. We cannot determine which department "Xi" should belong to. No matter who it is given to, others will complain."
After the release of "Xi" comics, it caused a sensation in the entire comic market. However, the decision of this new magazine was proposed by He Xi alone and did not belong to any department.
Moreover, "One Piece" is also a comic he drew alone and has no belonging. Xu Jing initially wanted to hand them over to the editorial department of "Weekly Boy", but was immediately opposed by the editorial department of "Weekly Boy".
The young editorial department is stronger than the young editorial department. The female editors feel that Phoenix cannot be inclined to male readers. In order to balance the gap in the department, they want to take "Savory" into their own hands.
Of course, the Young Editorial Department is also unwilling to let go, and no one wants to give up on this popular magazine.
Xu Jing was distressed for several days, and it was not necessary to establish an editorial department for the time being. After a few days of thinking, Xu Jing decided to add a new department.
"We want to set up a Hexi business department, which is to focus on you and integrate all your works and business." Xu Jing smiled and said: "This business department can concentrate scattered resources and is very helpful for your publicity."
His idea is to open upstream channels of the company, and departments will always fight each other. The most important thing about Phoenix Company is He Xi now. His value should not be kidnapped by departmental interests.
If a business unit is established at the upper level of the department, He Xi's resources can be unified. For example, you can insert comic advertisements at the end of the animation and game advertisements in the comics. In the future, comic adaptations will include connections with Huamei. As long as things related to He Xi are involved, a group can be responsible for it.
“…”
After listening to Xu Jing's words, Meng Huo's heart surged, and he had to be turbulent. Xu Jing said it very simply, but this matter was a drastic change for Phoenix.
To achieve unified resources, the Hexi business unit will not be a simple department, but a top-level management organization. This is equivalent to a transformation of Phoenix Company and forming a new strategic form with Meng Huo as the core.
And after all, what is the business unit? Hexi’s business unit is definitely not a business unit with a regular meaning.
"The candidate has not been confirmed yet, but Alice and Ye Xiong will join in." Xu Jing said slowly: "Now recruitment of new employees is not for the purpose of the business department, but mainly for the supplement of various departments. Some people in other departments may be transferred to your business department in the future. We must select talents in advance."
Meng Huo nodded slightly, he understood everything now.
The business department is just saying it well, and the essence is Xu Jing's delegation of power. He is transitioning power to Meng Huo, Ye Xiong and Alice. If the company's management joins He Xi's business department, anyone who is not stupid can see that this is a new power organization and Meng Huo has become the center of Phoenix Company.
“Now…is it too early…”
Meng Huo asked nervously. Half a year had not arrived yet, Xu Jing took the initiative to let go of power for him, which was something he had not expected.
"It's not too early, after I released One Piece, I felt I had to do this."
Xu Jing glanced at Meng Huo with a smile. After "One Piece" was sold, the victory or defeat of Phoenix and Zhongxia was basically decided. He felt that it would be beneficial for the company to transition power to Meng Huo as soon as possible.
And this child understands his thoughts, which makes Xu Jing very happy: "If your business unit wants to take shape, it will take several months to choose and run-in. Now it is only the preparation stage..."
In fact, after Meng Huo's team formed, Xu Jing and him agreed to expire just now, and the time was very appropriate.
"Meng Huo..." Xu Jing took a sip of tea and said slowly: "From the future, I will take charge of the company's daily affairs and the direction of the Phoenix... I will ask you to take the helm."
"yes……"
Meng Huo nodded sternly, feeling very grateful.
Xu Jing will be the chairman of Phoenix Company for a long time in the future, but in a few months, his real role will be equivalent to Meng Huo's logistics manager.
Meng Huo is very rational. He knows that the company's operations are very complicated. Xu Jing manages daily life. This approach is equivalent to reducing troubles and eliminating unnecessary troubles, allowing him to go forward with all his might.
"Chairman, I will remember your kindness... As long as I stayed in Phoenix for one day, the Xu family will be the biggest beneficiary besides me!"
A drop of water should be rewarded with a spring of gratitude. Meng Huo thought in his heart that he must create more value to repay Xu Jing's trust.
His words stunned Xu Jing. The old man's expression was slightly shaken, and then he smiled: "Boy, this is the first time you are so straightforward."
