Chapter 177 Food is tasteless, and it is a pity to abandon it.
After pressing down with both hands, the scene returned to calm.
"The second thing is that ATV has paid the free TV arrears and late fees, passed the review by the Telecommunications Department, and regained its free TV license."
"ATV will continue to operate and provide high-quality television programs to the general public."
"The third thing is about the issue of the original ATV arrears of wages to its employees."
"I just took over and need some time to check the financial accounts. Please give me half a month to sort out the accounts."
"After half a month, all those who are in arrears can come to ATV to collect their arrears, and we will pay them in full in one go."
"At the same time, we will pay compensation in accordance with legal provisions."
"The fourth thing is that Li Xuefeng, the former general manager of ATV, will serve as the executive general manager of ATV and lead ATV on the right track."
After Gao Jin announced the fourth thing, he turned around and made an invitation gesture. Li Xuefeng strode to the front desk and shook hands with Gao Jin heavily.
There were flashes of lights at the scene, and Gao Jin patted Li Xuefeng on the shoulder. Li Xuefeng stood aside, standing further back, highlighting Gao Jin's position.
"The fifth thing is that I will inject one billion dollars into ATV within half a month."
"This fund will be used to pay off employee arrears, pay off remaining foreign debts, and gradually replace the station's old equipment..."
In the ancestral home of the Gao family, Gao Yuanming and his son were watching TV. Seeing Gao Jin standing on the podium and speaking incessantly, Gao Yuanming nodded secretly, very satisfied with Gao Jin's performance.
In Yujingwan, Gao Yuande looked at the TV with a doting expression. His son's performance exceeded Gao Yuande's expectations.
Central, the entertainment company of singer Xie Fei.
Xie Fei, Liu Wen, and the company's senior executives were also watching the big screen in the conference room, with astonishment on their faces.
Unexpectedly, Gao Jin actually spent 4 billion to acquire ATV. This is a TV station and a very important part of the entertainment industry. It is impossible not to be shocked.
"Thank you all friends from the media for coming. This concludes today's press conference."
After Gao Jin finished speaking, he turned around, bowed to the reporters, turned around and left with Li Xuejian, and the reporters did not follow him for interviews.
What Gao Jin announced just now has basically answered the reporters' questions. The top priority now is to go back and make a final decision to announce the news.
The door of the large conference room was pushed open, and Gao Jin and Li Xuejian walked in. Everyone in the room stood up. After Gao Jin sat down, he waved his hands, and then everyone sat down.
"Everyone, time is running out now. It's not long before the Chinese New Year, so I won't talk nonsense."
"I have just announced that General Manager Li Xuejian has been promoted to Executive General Manager and will comprehensively preside over the reform of all departments and columns of ATV."
"The first thing to do is to get rid of all the people who are just messing around."
"The new ATV is a TV station that is united and dedicated to development."
"What we need are elites, not waste..."
As soon as Gao Jin met, he began to reprimand this group of people. A large part of them were people arranged by shareholders, and a general purge was inevitable.
Only by purging these idle people can ATV regain its potential.
"Xuejian, your only boss is me, you don't need to look at anyone else's face."
Gao Jin turned to look at Li Xuejian and said this, and Li Xuejian stood up immediately.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Gao, I will definitely bring ATV back to its feet!"
Li Xuejian expressed his attitude, and many people had happy expressions on their faces. With Li Xuejian taking charge of the overall situation, ATV's chaotic management situation will definitely be wiped out.
"The reform cannot be stopped, and there cannot be any problems with normal program broadcasting, understand?" Gao Jin warned, waving his hand for Li Xuejian to sit down.
"Now if you have any questions, you can ask them directly and I will work on site."
Gao Jin watched everyone say this, "Brush" and immediately someone raised their hands. Gao Jin nodded, and a lady stood up.
"Master Gao, this is Zhang Yuerong from the Human Resources Department. When will the employee's salary arrears be resolved? If this problem is not resolved, it will be difficult for the people below to work with peace of mind."
This matter is ATV's top priority. Zhang Yuerong's salary is also in arrears, so it is impossible not to care about this matter.
"This matter is easy to handle. I just announced it at the press conference."
"The Finance Department and the Legal Department are currently handing over. It is expected to take more than ten days. It should be completed within half a month. The accounts will be cleared and all unpaid wages will be paid at once."
After Gao Jin finished speaking, he looked at Guan Hongsheng and Guo Chuanxue. The two immediately stood up and said that the handover and cleaning work would be completed within half a month.
"Young Master Gao, do you want to give me some money temporarily? It's not long before the Chinese New Year."
"I'm not afraid of Mr. Gao's jokes. My savings can no longer support me."
Zhang Yuerong said this with a bitter look on her face. She was owed four months of salary and really didn't have much money left.
Gao Jin was stunned and turned to look at Li Xuejian. Li Xuejian stood up and said, "Young Master Gao, what Minister Zhang said is true. Including myself, I have also been owed several months of salary."
“Everyone is having a hard time”
"I suggest that some money should be distributed before the end of the year so that everyone can have a good year, and the rest can be distributed in one lump sum after the financial accounts are cleared."
Gao Jin was very surprised after hearing this. He didn't expect that ATV's salary arrears were so serious.
"I remember that there were not many people suing for unpaid wages, and the amount was only tens of millions. What are you doing?"
Gao Jin asked this question. The situation in front of him was seriously inconsistent with the information he had lived. The scale of the wage arrears was more serious than imagined.
"Master Gao, ATV's salary arrears started last year. At that time, they were owed for several months, and they were all repaid one after another."
"So many people have become accustomed to this. The salary of the lower-level employees is not high. If they are unpaid for a long time, they will not be able to cope with it. There is no money in the financial accounts."
“I sued because I had no other choice.”
"A large part of us are trying to keep our jobs and thinking that we can gradually get repayments, so we endure it..."
Li Xuejian explained, and Gao Jin's face showed an expression of sudden realization. He had done something like this in his previous life.
This kind of thing is too common in society.
"You can negotiate with Guo Chuanxue and give everyone a month's salary in the next few days. No matter what, let everyone pass this year first."
"The financial accounts will be sorted out after the year, and all arrears of wages must be paid as soon as possible. This work must be completed before the Lantern Festival."
Gao Jin made a decision, and Guo Chuanxue and Li Xuejian unanimously stated that they would complete the work within three days.
Seeing Gao Jin's statement, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief. With one month's salary, they could get through this year.
As long as all the back wages can be repaid before the Lantern Festival, I will be relieved.
"Brush" someone raised their hand again, Gao Jin nodded, and this person stood up.
"Young Master Gao, I am Wen Guocheng from the TV series production department."
"Last year, our department didn't produce a single TV series. I don't know if Mr. Gao will retain our department."
Wen Guocheng doesn't want to lose his job. He knows that the TV drama market is not easy to do now. TVB only produced two TV series last year. The high cost makes the TV drama production department useless.
It is tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.
"I can tell you clearly that the TV drama production department will retain it. I have already discussed this with Mr. Li. You can discuss the specific matters with Mr. Li after the meeting."
Gao Jin gave a clear answer, and Wen Guocheng sat down with peace of mind.
Then someone else raised their hands, and several questions fell within Li Xuefeng's scope. Gao Jin thought about it for a moment.
"ATV will continue to move forward. There is no doubt about this. As for whether your department will be retained and whether your position will be retained, Mr. Li will make a unified arrangement."
"If there is a problem that Mr. Li cannot solve, Mr. Li will report it to me. There is no need to raise your hands to speak on daily issues."
Gao Jin watched everyone speak, and everyone became quiet.
Gao Jin looked at Li Xuejian. Li Xuejian shook his head and indicated that he had nothing to say. "The meeting is over." After Gao Jin said that, he stood up, and everyone followed suit.
When Li Xuejian left with Gao Jin, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.
The top floor, the chairman's office, is now Gao Jin's office. Gao Jin explained things to Li Xuejian, Guan Hongsheng and Guo Chuanxue and took the car home directly.
It's noon and it's time to eat.
The news of ATV's change of ownership has spread to the outside world, and many people have begun to investigate Gao Jin's information.
People in the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang are also inquiring about Gao Jin's information. Television stations are an indispensable part of the entertainment industry. As long as you are in the entertainment industry, you will inevitably have to deal with television stations in the future.
Finding out the details of Gao Jin is very important for the future development of the company.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Gao Yihai arrived at Gao Jin's house and took Gao Jin away, saying that he was gathering with a group of young people.
Gao Yuande knew what Gao Yihai meant and did not stop him. He only said that Gao Jin had to go home at night and let him go.
At almost five o'clock, Xie Fei's car arrived at Yujingwan. After Guo Tao reported it to Gao Yuande, the guard let him go and the car entered the manor.
Gao Yuande was helpless. Xie Fei came to the door. It was unreasonable to hide away, so he could only meet him once.
At the door of the villa, Gao Yuande met Xie Fei and said calmly, "Let's take a walk. It's been a long time since we took a walk together."
"good"
Xie Fei agreed and walked towards the garden with Gao Yuande, naturally holding Gao Yuande's arm. It was too late for Gao Yuande to escape, so he could only let Xie Fei hold his arm.
"You came here this time because of ATV." Gao Yuande slowly said this while looking at the sky in the distance.
"yes"
"My entertainment company has been established. It's very difficult now. There are very few resources available. Those large entertainment companies secretly create trouble for me."
"The exposure of the company's artists is not enough. Two people have already terminated their contracts and left. If nothing changes, it may be difficult to maintain the company."
Xie Fei told the truth that he encountered more difficulties than he expected. If he and the two major shareholders had not had certain influence, the company would have been hit hard and could not continue to operate.
