Super Zoo-Chapter 614 - 609 Chapter Corporate Culture

Five people from Disney arrived to handle the cooperation negotiations: a vice president of a film company, two lawyers, a Big Beard producer, and the director Howard.

Suming attended the reception that day but didn’t specifically participate in the subsequent negotiations, leaving the work to Cai Liming. Led by Cai Liming and assisted by Mr. Liang from the group, they engaged in the negotiations.

Mr. Liang had been working with Suming since the earliest establishment of the fishing company, initially part-time while he managed his other businesses, serving as the legal advisor for the fishing company. As the number of companies under Suming’s name grew and the scale expanded, Mr. Liang simply resigned from the law firm and took on the full-time role of legal supervisor for the entire Taoyuan Group.

After Nangong Yan resigned, she had nothing much to do. One day, while eating, she suddenly glared at Suming and, out of the blue, made a comment "business before pleasure."

Hearing the tone, it wasn’t anything pleasant to hear. Suming then realized that in his busyness, he managed to take care of everyone except for Nangong Yan, who had already resigned.

Fortunately, Nangong Yan’s role had always been clear: if she had her own ideas, Suming would financially support them. Otherwise, she was to handle all media and public relations work for all of his companies, including direct management of the Weibo account.

In fact, Suming hadn’t completely forgotten about her. Nangong Yan had only recently resigned, and Suming’s original intention was for her to take some time off to travel the world before working again. Seeing that Nangong Yan couldn’t stay idle, he moved up her work schedule.

While each of Taoyuan’s companies is legally independent, they can actually be seen as a group. Mr. Liang’s position is officially under the fishing company, but in reality, he is the director of the group’s legal department. Nangong Yan’s position appears to be even lower, based in Shen Yan’s information department, which facilitates the collection of information from all companies. Officially, she is the website administrator, but in essence, she is the spokesperson for the entire group.

Once Nangong Yan took up her role, she showed a high level of initiative in her work. Besides routine tasks, she also expressed hope that Suming would arrange a special project for her.

"A special project?" Suming stroked his chin, "How about you establish a troll army? Anyone who doesn’t get along with us, we just smear them to death!"

"Shen Yan already has someone specifically handling the trolls," said Nangong Yan.

Suming was just joking, messing with such underhanded matters as trolls was not something he would seriously allow Nangong Yan to get involved with and get herself dirty.

"Do you really want to start a special project?" Seeing that Nangong Yan was serious, Suming asked for confirmation one last time.

"Actually, my current job isn’t much different from that of an office clerk, and nobody dares to give me orders," Nangong Yan said.

"That’s not a bad thing," Suming replied, his intention was for Nangong to enjoy a more relaxed life, to sit in the office when bored, with plenty of free time to do whatever she wanted. He was already past the initial entrepreneurial phase where he needed a capable wife by his side to struggle with, there was no need to wear out someone as close as Nangong.

"At first, I thought it was fine, but after a few days, I couldn’t stand it," Nangong muttered, "People are prone to laziness. Over time, I fear I’ll become useless, disconnected from society and the times, only knowing to shop, beautify myself, and engage in senseless competitions, becoming the kind of woman I despise the most."

"I see…" Suming pondered and then said, "It just so happens there is a project you might try, but let me be clear upfront, this project has no foundation aside from money, I can’t help you much with anything else."

"You say it, I’m not afraid of hard work," Nangong said.

Suming smiled and uttered three words: "Start a newspaper."

"What? I’m really taken aback by you, why would you think of starting a newspaper out of the blue?" Nangong Yan was greatly surprised.

With the rise of the digital age, traditional media was already on the decline. Except for a few government media, most traditional platforms were desperately trying to transform and survive. Nangong Yan, on the other hand, instead of leveraging the technical advantage of the information department, was contemplating starting a newspaper—which seemed like reversing historical progress.

Just because I am your female driver, doesn’t mean you have me driving in reverse through history!

Suming waved his hand and said, "Don’t rush, let me finish. The newspaper I’m talking about is an internal one."

"An internal paper? For staff to read?" asked Nangong.

"Yes. Look at the big picture I’ve got now - fishing company, winery, zoo, entertainment company, film company, real estate firm - strictly speaking, even your information department could stand alone as a tech company. Lure People Community, while not yet a company, has its own future plans, as well. With a few hundred subordinates, management is becoming increasingly complex. Additionally, I haven’t consolidated everything because it’s more convenient to operate, but when the time comes, I will establish a group company that will likely see a sudden surge in employee numbers."

Nangong Yan listened and nodded slightly.

"Business initially thrives on opportunities, then on layout, but as it grows, the importance of management becomes increasingly apparent. The old team in the company has been trained by me, and while distributed across various companies, they aren’t too numerous to cause major management issues for now, but that might not be the case in the future. So, I’m thinking ahead. In the founding stage of the enterprise, I want to establish a corporate culture, bolster cohesion, and provide a spiritual direction for the enterprise. Like a military unit has its spirit, every employee of our family business should also know where the soul of their enterprise lies."

Hearing the words "our family business," Nangong Yan pursed her lips in a smile.

Suming pointed at the computer screen and said, "You see, even this group and that group have their internal newspapers, we need to keep up with the times so that every employee clearly understands what’s right, what’s wrong, and where the direction of their efforts lies within our enterprise."

"I understand what you mean. But..." Nangong Yan positioned herself on the arm of Suming’s executive chair and said, "To truly establish a corporate culture, an internal newspaper alone is far from enough. Besides, what exactly is corporate culture?"

Suming laughed heartily and slapped the generous curve protruding behind Nangong, "You have the insight of a top anchorwoman from the TV station. Of course, corporate culture isn’t built in a day. Starting an internal paper is just the first step. For now, there’s no need to discuss corporate culture specifically. First, let’s publish positive news about our various companies, information about awards and punishments, and employee activities, to provide employees with a sense of belonging and pride."
