The interviewer said: "Newspapers are born for politics. But with all due respect, as far as I know, there are currently neither political parties run by women nor associations composed of women with independent political opinions, so I don't think this is the case." What’s the point of this thing? In fact, I think many ladies and ladies don’t care about politics at all. Even if they set up a newspaper, not many people will read it.”
Li Lici wanted to refute, but found it difficult to refute. She was not a person who spoke forcefully, so she could only say with some annoyance: "Not all women don't care about politics!"
But this was already a bit weak.
The interviewer was a little disapproving, but considering that she was the princess, he did not argue with her.
Yin Lian suddenly said: "No, in fact, every woman cares about politics, but the content and way they care about are different from you, so many people ignore it."
Yin Lian's voice was quiet, but her attitude was far more decisive than Li Lici's. The young man was stunned for a moment, feeling that she was talking nonsense, but he also had self-doubt because of her tone and attitude. In the end, he just said: "If there are a few ladies and ladies who occasionally care about politics, I can understand it. But...everyone One..."
Yin Lian said: "They may not care who the prince is meeting today or what commercial regulations the Ministry of Household Affairs has issued, but they will be very concerned about prices, the bills at home today, whether the Ministry of Rites will build another academy, and whether their children can Meet the conditions for independent enrollment. And they should be more concerned about it - they should be concerned about the increase and decrease in tax rates on sea trade exports and imports, because it is related to whether they can buy cheap imported products, or whether embroidery and fabrics can be sold They should pay a higher price; they should be concerned about the construction of railways and canals, because it is related to the convenience of transportation, the flow of goods from the north to the south, and whether children studying in other places can return home more conveniently in the future; they can also be concerned about it The establishment of North-South trading companies, because this represents more job opportunities and more formalized business operations; they should even be concerned about the issuance of bonds, in this way to rationally arrange the remaining money at home to resist the crisis of inflation. "
The young man was dumbfounded, and Li Lici was not much better.
Yin Lian said: "It's not that they don't want to care, or don't need to care. It's just that no one has given them such an opportunity... But this opportunity is very important, not only for themselves, but also for their husbands and children."
The young man was silent for a while, then suddenly stood up, saluted Yin Lian, and said, "Miss, you are right, I am narrow-minded. So, what kind of newspaper do you want to run? What do you want them to know? Are there policies that will help or hurt them?”
Yin Lian shook her head and said: "No, this is something that will happen in the future. And I don't think they need a newspaper that explains the policies. These things can be understood in ordinary newspapers. What we need is a newspaper A newspaper that is closer to their hearts - simpler, more arousing their interest, and more catered to their hearts. For example, how should children be educated when they are naughty? What tips can be used when the budget is insufficient? Arrange a party that won’t go wrong. I also want to report on various elegant, elegant, or healthy activities that are suitable for women from different walks of life. It’s a bit too high-minded to care about the topic of politics.”
“Many times, we care about politics, but we don’t need to care about politics itself.”
This sentence was a bit convoluted, but the young man understood it. After thinking about it, this time he seriously put forward his plan: "Listening to what you mean, it seems that you don't want to be a newspaper that is really about politics and current affairs, but more about some entertainment-related newspapers. Newspapers with intelligence. If this is the case, I recommend choosing articles related to dramas or cultural societies for reporting.”
"In addition, you can also do reports on new makeup, food or celebrity weddings."
This is a relatively reliable opinion. Yin Lian then asked about the specific plan in detail. Because he didn't make enough preparations, the young man's answer was a little bumpy, but after all, he had a good foundation, so he probably answered it.
Although the answer cannot be said to be brilliant, it is at least quite satisfactory and the key points that should be grasped are also grasped. After Yin Lian listened, he took out another article and asked the young man to stand in the editor's position and revise and polish it. The young man read the article a few times and couldn't help but frown - because from an article level, this work really has no literary talent at all. However, after he forced himself to read it, he barely understood the core of the article.
The man who was recommended by the ladies was really quick-thinking, and it didn't take long for him to rewrite the article. The rewritten article roughly retains the original core idea, but it is already an article with completely different content.
Yin Lian was not very satisfied, and asked him how he would instruct the original author to make modifications to meet the standards of being published in the newspaper. The young man thought for a while, but said very harshly: "Normally, it is impossible for an article of this level to be published in a newspaper. The author does not even have the most basic ability to write smoothly. In this case, I think A different article would be better.”
He's a little too conceited.
This article was deliberately selected by Yin Lian from the manuscripts of several ladies as an example. This is an article that Yin Lian found after careful consideration that the content is very valuable, but the specific text needs to be significantly revised and refined.
Perhaps because I usually write less articles, this article has some common problems among laymen, which are wordy writing, inappropriate details, and lack of necessary eye-catching skills, but these can all be accomplished through appropriate deletions and edits.
Note that it is "deletion", not "rewrite".
In Yin Lian's view, the editor's role in many cases, and the significance of using his own ability to guide the author to write the article he needs, is far greater than the revision itself. Publishing houses will need a variety of articles. These articles cannot be created by one person or a group of people. They must come from all directions, allowing various ideological trends to collide and ignite sparks.
In fact, she had asked Li Lici to try to revise this article before. Because the editor was reminded of the work that needed to be done, Li Lici reviewed and revised it carefully. At least in Yin Lian's opinion, although the opinions were a bit too personal, they were generally in line with the editor's responsibilities, at least better than those of young people. Much better.
Afterwards, Yin Lian also returned the comments to the wife who was the original author.
However, she was interviewing rather than training the other party at this time, so she did not point out or correct the other party's problems. The young man doesn't seem to have a high emotional intelligence, his words are always harsh, and he feels that he can easily offend others. But his writing skills are very good, but he also thinks too highly of himself... Yin Lian thought about it and felt that he still had a certain tendency to be responsible for the work, so he asked him to go back and wait for the notification.
After that, she interviewed several more people, but of course there was not a single female applicant, which was also expected. Although the number of women working in this era has gradually increased, the number is still very low compared to the entire base. Basically, meeting someone who is capable and needs it is something that can only be met but not sought.
However, after the first young man who applied for the job left, Li Lici expressed some emotions, pulled Yin Lian and said, "Er Ya, listening to you is worth ten years of studying."
Yin Lian: "..."
She had a question mark, not knowing what she said to make the other party so excited.
Li Lici said: "It's politics, politics! It's not just politics, which minister has been changed, which warlord has reached an agreement with the court, it turns out that there are so many things that are also politics, and they are politics that are closely related to people's livelihood... You are right, women should be able to care about politics...Governing a big country is like cooking small dishes, and running a country must first bring the family together, so the small politics that women care about are not necessarily less important than the big politics that men care about."
Yin Lian said, "That's what you said." She smiled and said, "Actually, even among men, not all of them care about politics, and many people just talk about it verbally. But for female compatriots, what we lack is this Soil for discussion.”
Although this change may take many years, it will come.
Li Lici seemed to be more convinced of her because of these conversations. Compared with the previous review, she became obviously more cooperative with Yin Lian's work. At least in a short period of time, her recognition of Yin Lian reached its highest point.
The subsequent interviews were still fruitful. Although I went through many interviews, even the candidates who seemed barely suitable mostly had various problems like the first young man, but in the end, Yin Lian still managed to find two talents. .
One young man looked like an ordinary student, polite and extremely shy. But after Yin Lian exchanged a few words with him, she found that this man had a very high emotional intelligence, a good personality, and his words made people very comfortable. According to him, there are four older sisters and one younger sister in his family. It is a completely female family, so he usually gets along with the sisters, and he is also very familiar with the various living conditions of girls. Many times, his thinking is more biased towards women - for example, When a man cheats on someone, in the eyes of other young people, it's considered a romantic affair, but in his family, it's typical for him to call the man a scumbag first.
For Lin Jiale, this is their family's political correctness.
The other young man is more serious, but he is good at analyzing intelligence. He was quite positive about this job and seemed to have done a lot of preparation work. When he came up, he first asked about the salary, and Yin Lian gave a rough outline of the floating range. She gave stipulations on basic salary and performance pay respectively - at this time, Xia Guo did not have such a complete performance system. Yin Lian was also worried that the other party would dislike the low basic salary and could not understand the meaning of performance. Unexpectedly, the young man's logical ability was excellent. After asking about the workload of each period, he calculated the possible floating range of performance and confirmed that this salary range was very attractive to him.
He came up with data at that time, roughly including the number of potential readers in the capital if such a newspaper was run, the types of applicable advertisements and the prices that can be given based on the circulation, the competition that may arise in the future, and the types of newspapers. Reading materials can and are suitable means to take when facing peer competition.
Li Lici was stunned after hearing a conversation.
Yin Lian hired the young man named Chi Hui on the spot. After the contract was signed, Yin Lian took out a brochure and said, "What you said before is very good. We might as well improve it a little bit later and use it as the future development strategy of the magazine. But since we dare to do this, we naturally have The trump card.”
As he spoke, he placed the booklet in front of the other party.
When Chi Hui saw the booklet, he was suddenly stunned. After being astonished, he slowly showed an expression of surprise. He reached out to pick up the booklet and flipped through it quickly.
