Chapter 248: 186. A thousand gold for a horse’s bones

Mr. Lu certainly wouldn’t refuse.

In fact, when choosing a company, online talents primarily care about two core reasons: the first is the profit distribution mechanism; the second is the development path and space for online talents.

The boss can decide the former and suggest the latter.

The suggestion that Mou Keyan had just made was exactly in his plan.

As for her small group and her ability to understand and judge people, Lu Jincheng had no doubts at all.

In this aspect, it wasn’t just about seemingly metaphysical things.

After working with the public for a long time, it’s like having the basic abilities of an agent.

This involves an industry judgment combined with data analysis to help decide if someone can take off in the future, which is immediately evident upon testing.

Plus, after chatting a few times face-to-face about personality, looks, talent, and emotional intelligence, it’s possible to roughly judge if it’s going to work or not.

Golden Stone Media’s anchor ecosystem will certainly have a competition model in the future.

To fuel everyone’s ambitions together, it wouldn’t be possible unless he personally stepped in to paint the big picture.

He had to ensure that every level, every team, every category, and every group had competition, including Mou Keyan’s team, which had already reached a leading position.

A company, an ecosystem, cannot just have one leader at the top; otherwise, that leader might become complacent.

There must be other leaders emerging to promote mutual advancement and create healthy competition. This avoids laziness and arrogance and motivates different people through connections and rule-based incentives.

Lu Jincheng envisioned that in the future, in building 4, Zone D of Software Park, each floor would be equipped with different exclusive or shared spaces based on the actual needs of the different anchor and talent teams.

Indeed, more anchors will keep broadcasting from home and come to the company for training and filming.

"Looks are indeed one of the baseline criteria for recruitment at Golden Stone Media. People are naturally drawn to beautiful things, and demands determine how far someone can go in the industry."

"Since you put it that way, let’s find a time, just give me a heads-up in advance."

...

After arranging a dinner with Mou Keyan and a few newcomers, he called He Ying in.

"The list you submitted this morning, I’ve had a look at it."

"Mm."

He Ying bit her lip and nodded.

After all, she personally brought these people in; she can easily find out anyone’s underlying motives with just a little inquiry.

Led by Feng Changfei, part of the Student Union’s team had unconsciously begun to voice different opinions.

Competitors were digging into them, a similar MCN startup called Unlimited Media offered Feng Changfei double the salary.

And they gave him a firm promise: upon joining, he would be part of the management layer, with each skilled worker he brought over receiving not only double the salary but also an additional bonus.

Money and reputation tempt the heart.

The close relationship formed within the Student Union, Golden Stone’s promising future, the boss’s unique vision, and capabilities—all seem insignificant in the face of soaring income...

Despite He Ying’s repeated warnings, Feng Changfei still did not stop; he kept quietly communicating with front-line employees, trying to poach talents for the company next door.

"What do you think about this?"

Mr. Lu, after all, was a mature entrepreneur; he didn’t express his stance immediately but instead stroked his chin and looked towards He Ying.

Of course, he could fire all suspected employees or even the entire Student Union executive board in one fell swoop, but such indiscriminate action would inevitably cause collateral damage.

It would also likely dishearten He Ying, who worked diligently by his side.

There was no need for it.

He hadn’t made a fuss the moment he found out. On the contrary, he imitated Zhengboke Duan Yu Yan, allowing Feng Changfei to secretly connect with subordinate staff, then he let He Ying handle it once it got significant.

This is where the art of leadership in staffing lay.

He chose not to take action himself to avoid seeming too harsh and unapproachable to the front-line staff.

He first sought He Ying’s opinion, showing basic respect to his old colleagues and thereby rallying support.

"... I’ve thought about this matter."

He Ying cleared her throat and spoke seriously.

"Let’s hear it?"

"Focus on the big fish; decisively dismiss main organizers and participants, moderately increase the salary for others."

"Of course, when I say increase salary, it’s not a compromise; there’s a reason."

"I think, from now on, the company’s profit distribution should still be fair, rewarding according to the work done. Only when everyone in this chain gets their share can the organizational structure last."

Lu Jincheng nodded, his eyes showing approval.

"The path you’ve thought of is the right one."

"Not only should the talented anchors make money, but the teams should also profit, and the company should earn, along with making our e-commerce clients profit. Finally, the money earned by the company should be willingly invested back to support bilateral expansion. This is what a healthy cycle system looks like."

"But that alone is not enough; this issue of poaching exposed some core problems within our company."

"Sit down, listen to what I have to say."

He Ying sat down on the sofa nearby, sitting upright.

"Going forward, we first need to optimize the structure to prevent such incidents from happening again; we need to fragment the teams as much as possible."

He Ying listened intently, resting her chin on one hand.

"We will specify the business directions, such as entertainment live-streaming, short videos, e-commerce, knowledge payment, music, etc., and then support different gradients of teams."

"For instance, he is more suited to lead dance-focused anchors, he is better for singing-focused anchors, he ought to head offline LED team broadcasting, and he should be leading origin-tracing product-selling anchors. According to different specialties and development directions, we categorize broadly, and then we further divide based on more specific sub-categories into different teams."
