Chapter 297 - Chapter 297 Chapter 297 Are You Not Joking

Chapter 297: Chapter 297 Are You Not Joking? Chapter 297: Chapter 297 Are You Not Joking? Wang Hao looked at everyone present and continued, “We spent several years laying the foundation. We never revealed the blueprints of the building we want to erect. Some people have already criticized how bad our house is, noting that some companies have nice-looking houses but unstable foundations that collapse with a strong wind. But we won’t be like that because our confidence in the future stems from our brutal experiences over the past few years. Although the days ahead will be even more brutal, we have survived the hardest times, which means we have no reason to fall on the path forward!”

“I’ve always believed that employees come first, customers second. Without employees, there is no company, and it’s only when you are happy that our customers will be happy. Those words of encouragement from customers will make everyone truly invested in their work, which will drive continuous development of our company.”

“I think any company is bound to make mistakes, in fact, they must make mistakes. However, the biggest mistake a company can make is to stand still, the biggest mistake is not making any mistakes. The key is to summarize and reflect on the various mistakes we make, to run better tomorrow. It’s crucial to continue making mistakes, the key is not to repeat the same ones.”

At this point, the meeting room was utterly silent, and people’s gaze towards Wang Hao had completely changed!

It was like a devout worship towards a god!

Everyone felt that with just a word from Chairman Wang, they would be willing to work overtime every day!

“Finally,” Wang Hao summarized his speech for the day, looking at all the employees with a smile, “I want to build our company into the largest comic company in the country. Many of you might think I’m dreaming, but I want to say…”

He took a deep breath and then said loudly, “Everyone should have a dream, what if it really comes true?!”

Everyone in the room started breathing rapidly!

Chairman Wang’s words were just too good, too sensible!

Yes, everyone should have a dream, what if it really comes true?!

“Clap! Clap!” “Clap clap clap!” “Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap!”

Applause thundered through the room!

Everyone spontaneously stood up, giving Wang Hao the warmest round of applause!

They had been with this comic company for either just three to four years, or as long as seven to eight years, but none had ever heard such a fantastic speech! It felt as though their hearts had been stirred!

Yes, today is brutal, and tomorrow will also be brutal, but the day after tomorrow will be wonderful! Yet many people will fall by tomorrow night! Weren’t the six employees who had resigned, including Feng Bo, just like that?

From now on, this company would be a company with a dream!

Stepping down from the podium, Wang Hao exhaled–it was time to pull out all the stops!

He frequently watched Jack Ma’s motivational speeches in his past life. Youngsters, you still think you can’t be convinced? This is divine-level brainwashing!

“Boom!” As Wang Hao was thinking this, the six people who had resigned earlier barged in, stumbling over each other. Feng Bo grabbed Wang Hao’s leg tightly, yelling, “Chairman Wang! Please take us back! We regret our decision! We want to have dreams too!”

“Weren’t you the ones who just resigned?” Wang Hao sneered coldly, “What, having regrets now?”

Feng Bo clung to Wang Hao’s leg, tears streaming down his face, crying loudly, “Chairman Wang, I want to draw comics, I really want to draw comics!”

Why did that sentence sound so familiar…

Wang Hao looked at the six of them and curled his lips: “You say you’re coming back just like that, where does that leave my dignity? But I’m a merciful person and can give you a chance–if you want to come back, you start as interns again, for one year. If your performance satisfies everyone, there will be a vote. If everyone agrees you’re qualified to come back, then you’ll become official employees. If not, you’ll leave. Is that clear?”

“No problem! Absolutely no problem!” Feng Bo bobbed his head like a pecking chicken: “As long as I can create good comics, I’m willing to do anything!”

Lin Xiaoyun’s sister, Lin Xiaoyu, was dumbfounded–she had tried almost everything to keep the staff, but none of her methods worked. Today, Chairman Wang came, and with just a few words, they came back willingly to cling to him?!

It was nothing short of a miracle!

“Clap clap clap clap clap clap!”

Once again, all the staff burst into enthusiastic applause for Wang Hao!

“Chairman Wang, that was brilliant, what you just said was truly amazing!” At this point, Chief Li could no longer hold back. He stepped forward to introduce himself, “I am Li Wenfeng, the chief editor of Comics World, nice to meet you.”

Upon seeing him, Wang Hao’s eyes widened, “Eh? You haven’t left yet?”

Everyone’s heart skipped a beat–this was the chief editor of Comics World, and whether our company’s works would be selected almost entirely depended on his judgment. He was not someone to be trifled with!

“Uh…” Chief Li was clearly taken aback by Wang Hao’s comment, but there was no helping it, the man had talent. Now Chief Li felt that Chairman Wang was the one who really shouldn’t be offended, and hurriedly said with a smile, “I’m truly sorry for any previous offense. I hope for your understanding, Chairman Wang!”

Eh? As soon as Chief Li said this, everyone present was dumbfounded!

Was this the same Chief Li, whom you had to flatter to no end just to meet with?!

And he was being so polite to Chairman Wang?!

“So-so, I guess,” Wang Hao asked curiously, “What did you want with me?”

“Here’s the thing,” Chief Li pondered for a moment, then said, “I would like to start serializing the detective manga you just talked about in this issue of Comics World. Would you be willing?”

Lin Xiaoyun’s mouth fell open–something they had previously begged for, and now he was offering it himself?!

“This, I really need to think about it,” Wang Hao mused for a bit, then asked the people around him, “When does their magazine publish this issue? Is there enough time?”

“There are three days left, we can manage to draw it,” Lin Xiaoyun thought for a moment, troubled, “But considering the timing, this issue should have already been finalized, right?”

Everyone nodded in agreement, now that was problematic.

If they worked overtime like mad for three days it definitely wouldn’t be a problem, but if the magazine was finalized there was nothing to be done. The key issue was that without a draft, Chief Li wouldn’t even be able to plan the layout even if he wanted to.

“So that’s the situation,” Wang Hao looked at Chief Li and asked, “Your magazine’s finalized, right? What to do now?”

“This…” Chief Li also looked a bit dismayed this time, “Actually, if I talk to President Yu today, rearranging the layout wouldn’t be impossible. The key is, there’s no draft here right now. Sigh… it looks like we’ll have to wait until next week, what a pity, such a pity!” He was indeed quite distressed to have to wait so long for a good book…

“A draft, huh…” Wang Hao touched his chin, then suddenly laughed, “That’s easy! Hey you, Zhang, where’s artist Zhang?!” Wang Hao called out loudly.

“Here, here!” The sound of clanging and banging followed as artist Zhang Zhengyang literally barged into the conference room, “Chairman Wang, what do you need me for?!” Now, his gaze towards Wang Hao… it was a good thing everyone knew he was already married, otherwise, they might suspect his interests lay in men!

“Don’t get so close!” Wang Hao wiped the sweat from his brow, pushed him away a bit, then said, “I need a draft so that Chief Li can take it back for re-layout. Come help me, let’s get it done within an hour.”

“How… how much time?!” After hearing Wang Hao’s words, not only was Zhang Zhengyang stunned, everyone present was confounded!

A draft in an hour, surely you’re joking?!

Even Li Wenfeng was astounded, “Chairman Wang, are you serious? You’re not joking, right?”

“I’m dead serious,” Wang Hao said, “Now get a transcription clerk over here.”

Lin Xiaoyun nodded, “I’ll take notes.”

“Alright, Zhang, come over here, I’ll show you how to draw a draft,” Wang Hao snatched the pen and book from Zhang Zhengyang’s hands, and said exasperatedly, “Really now, I have to teach you this too, so unprofessional!”

Everyone was dumbstruck–could a draft really be done in an hour?!

“But… but,” Li Wenfeng watched Wang Hao, he didn’t seem like he was joking, yet still doubted, “Really, a draft can be done in one hour?”

“Do I look like I’m joking?” Wang Hao curled his lips, “Just watch if you want to…”
