Chapter 398

Our Toutiao News has been developing for several months now, and we already have a certain customer base.

By now, I feel we should develop in a more professional direction.

I have decided to section off Toutiao News.

The front-page headline serves as the front page, special reports as the side page, followed by the finance section, politics section, entertainment section, and technology section.

For the front page, I, Baoda Ting, am responsible for assistance; for special reports, Panglong is responsible for the three-hands assistance; for finance, Hanming is responsible for the iron-abacus assistance; for politics, Huhai is responsible for the mountain-chicken assistance; for entertainment, Bai Xue is responsible for the toothache-herb assistance; for technology, Qiao Feng is responsible for the water-monkey assistance.

From now on, as long as you can keep the heat of your respective sections at a medium-to-high level, I will not be stingy with equity rewards.

"In Search of the Qin" belongs to entertainment, the Gangdao Survival Guide belongs to finance, and other sections can develop their own unique content on their own.

Section heads, you are granted personnel authority and may recruit talent on your own.

If a section can consistently provide excellent content over the long term and also wield sufficient influence in Gangdao,

it can become a standalone newspaper; after becoming independent, if it performs outstandingly, I can grant its team exclusive dividend rights, up to a maximum of thirty percent.

The newspaper's equity dividends and section dividends can be stacked.

Just as they were excited beyond measure by the equity incentives, Yang Qing dropped another bombshell.

It was elevated, it was elevated.

The whole event was elevated.

In Gangdao, there is no one who does things like this.

In their eyes, Yang Qing is practically a great benefactor.

Now they can't just work for a wage; what they expect is no longer a cold salary but foreseeable dividends.

Taking a salary is just getting by; receiving dividends makes it your own affair—the harder you work, the happier you are.

Most importantly, having personnel authority is a huge deal—it lets you build a state within a state.

Never before have we seen anything like this.

They were surrounded by a feeling of abundant happiness.

"Yang Zong, long live! Yang Zong, you are my father."

"As long as you don't work yourself to death, just go all out."

"The newspaper is my home………"

Others were excited to the point of being unable to contain themselves, but Baoda Ting was gloomy and unable to contain himself; he came over and asked.

"Yang Zong, what about me?"

Everyone else works in pairs of two, but I'm paired with a boss—how does that work?

Upon hearing this, the others also turned their gaze to Yang Qing.

Yang Qing replied irritably.

"You still know I'm the boss—do you really want me to keep working forever?"

"Aren't you Baoda Ting? Go find talent—once you bring people in, I'll give you a position."

"From now on, I'll just assist you."

Baoda Ting, upon hearing this, became excited.

The front page—this is the easiest section to produce results.

This damn, does it mean I'm going to get rich in the future?

Sometimes, what's hard becomes easy, and what's easy becomes hard.

On the newspaper, the front page is easy to achieve results, but if you want to spin it off, it becomes difficult.

Special reports are much simpler—just follow the hot topics—but to actually support a newspaper, it still requires great effort.

On the contrary, the other sections are relatively simpler.

But now they are much harder than the front page and special reports.

With Yang Qing's generous sharing of the pie, Toutiao News immediately became different.

Panglong didn't even bother calling it tired; he simply set up a bed in the newspaper office and started living there.

Others followed suit, and their fighting power exploded.

Obviously, the content of the Toutiao Daily began to show its sharp edge.

Especially Panglong's special reports began systematic coverage of the An'nan War.

Before, reading special reports was just for the excitement; now reading them feels like reading a story.

Their appeal is incomparable.

Hanming went even further, teaching you to find that big brother when something happens.

He also taught you how to communicate according to the rules if you encounter a kidnapping—don't call the police; if you have the money, pay it; if not, go find whoever, whoever, whoever—the big brother has some face and can negotiate.

Hanming was indirectly setting rules for the underworld.

For those who are ruthless and lawless, the Survival Guide is very exclusionary.

Yang Qing sometimes breaks into a cold sweat watching this—you're pushing the industrialization of the underworld!

Although it has some benefits for Gangdao's stability, it also promotes the development of the underworld.

Although this is messed up, Yang Qing also didn't intervene; for now, it remains within controllable limits.

On November 25, Yuandong Bank suffered a bank run, teetering on the brink; Qiu Da hurried to find Gangdao's master, to sell his soul and preserve the family business.

This scheme, which began setting traps in 1960 and is now winding down, specifically targeting Huashang Bank, finally comes to an end.

As of now, Huashang Bank, aside from those small partners of the Bank of China, has basically been completely wiped out.

Yinglian Capital has realized its own financial hegemony.

On the same day, Numerous Stars Electrical Appliances' new product welcomed another surge.

Thanks to its own vast sales channels, the order of two hundred thousand electric kettles was delivered in full.

After deducting promotion expenses, the new project made a profit of 1.5 million.

This is only the beginning; foreseeable future profits of tens of millions pose no problem at all.

The electric kettle's slogan is already known to every household.

"To drink tea, you must drink quality; Many Stars electric kettle helps you fully enjoy a quality life."

The Many Stars brand has begun to look different, becoming more refined.

On the same day, Headline Daily's circulation broke the 50,000 mark.

Entering the mid‑to‑upper‑tier newspaper sector, it began to wield some influence in Gangdao.

During this period, that Dennis also got his comeuppance, drinking flower wine at midnight, because the woman was beaten to a pulp.

Yang Qing was in a very good mood.

He brought Chen Hong to arrange a meeting with Qiu Da.

Qiu Da is now also overwhelmed, his home is unsettled, and the bank is on the brink of bankruptcy.

Now forced to seek connections, HSBC stepped in to lend a hand.

It could only address the immediate crisis.

A ruined reputation cannot be restored in a short time.

Historically, Yuandong Bank held out until 1969 before it was sold.

The Yinglian guys could never truly help him.

Qiu Da has also heard a little about Yang Qing.

Numerous Stars Electrical Appliances Co., Ltd. is now a household name in Gangdao.

When Yang Qing saw Qiu Da, he took the initiative to call out.

"Uncle Qiu, I've admired you for a long time, Xin Hui Xin Hui."

Qiu Da glanced at the tall Chen Hong and thought she was Yang Qing's female bodyguard.

"Yang Qing, young hero, remarkable, remarkable."

"Let's go into the private room to talk."

Yang Qing was very courteous.

"I'll listen to Uncle Qiu."

When entering the private room, Chen Hong followed in, causing Qiu Da to be a bit surprised.

Yang Qing immediately introduced, saying,

"Uncle Qiu, this is my wife."

Qiu Da then realized he had misunderstood.

Chen Hong, seeing the courtesy, said,

"Hello Uncle Qiu, I am Chen Hong, Yang Qing's daughter‑in‑law."

Qiu Da laughed heartily and greeted,

"Sit, sit, Yang Qing, you have indeed married a good daughter‑in‑law."

Yang Qing said proudly,

"Indeed, meeting my wife is the greatest happiness of my life."

Qiu Da's face darkened at the words, as he thought of his own wife.

That is the greatest pain of his life.
