Starting from joining Tencent Video

Chapter 10 Promotion and Salary Increase: Complex

After investing in Ning Wang, Chen Jingyuan continued to go to work as usual.

It will be several years before Ningwang goes public, and it's still too early to cash out.

Even after going public, only a fool would easily cash out.

Moreover, the number of dividends distributed during the Ning Prince's era was quite high.

It may take Chen Jingyuan several more years to achieve financial freedom.

Currently, he only has a little over three million yuan at his disposal.

"This amount of money can't even buy a decent apartment in Shenzhen."

"Keep hanging out on Tencent Video."

Chen Jingyuan shook his head and murmured softly.

Of course, it's impossible to regret investing in Ningwang.

However, with the backing of his investment in Ning Wang, Chen Jingyuan's self-confidence has increased considerably.

At least the departments at Tencent and Tencent felt that Chen Jingyuan seemed to be in better spirits.

They had that kind of high spirits that comes with good things happening!

Fortunately, many people didn't think too much about it and assumed it was a sign of attraction.

Although Chen Jingyuan was highly regarded before, he ultimately did not achieve much.

Now we finally have some respectable results!

Before we knew it, it was January of 2014, the start of a new year.

The broadcast of "Heart Signal" has ended, and all the results have been released.

After calculating all the income sources, it turns out that Heart Signal did not suffer the losses that I had imagined.

In particular, it has achieved significant results in increasing the activity level and membership of Tencent Video.

Almost all staff members in the variety show department received promotions during the annual performance review thanks to Heart Signal.

The entire variety show department was in high spirits, and their eyes were filled with gratitude as they looked at Chen Jingyuan.

"Thank you, Brother Chen!"

"Brother Chen, I'd like to treat you to a meal."

After getting off work in the evening, Liu Yang excitedly spoke up.

This person's job level is promoted to T2.2, and their annual income can reach nearly 300,000.

This is certainly something to be happy about, considering that this person has only recently graduated.

"Let's just find any street food stall."

"The Lunar New Year is coming soon, so we need to be careful with our money."

Chen Jingyuan did not refuse to speak up.

Liu Yang would naturally not refuse!

The two quickly took a taxi to a well-known food stall.

I ordered a mutton hot pot, which came with five side dishes including dried bean curd and winter bamboo shoots.

Taking a bite in winter can ward off a lot of the cold.

"Brother Chen, you should be getting a promotion this time, right?"

After taking a few bites, Liu Yang asked aloud.

"That's about right, I should be able to upgrade it another level."

Chen Jingyuan did not deny it and spoke up directly.

His evaluation results haven't come out yet, but they shouldn't be bad.

There's a high probability that you'll reach job level T3.3, with an annual income of nearly 800,000.

Salary, bonuses, and equity, etc., all added together.

This also means that he has officially entered the middle management level!

"Brother Chen, if there are any projects in the new year, you must take me along."

Liu Yang couldn't help but put on a flattering smile as he spoke.

Under normal circumstances, it is not easy to get promoted.

Without participating in certain projects, one's level is basically stagnant.

"I need to wait for Mr. Sun's arrangements!"

"Let's see what happens after the New Year."

Chen Jingyuan thought for a moment and then slowly spoke.

He currently does not know how he will be dealt with.

However, Chen Jingyuan's mindset is relatively calm now.

I wouldn't say I'm without desires, but I'm not particularly ambitious.

It's basically the idea that Tencent Video will only give as much effort as they receive in return for their compensation.

If there really is a project!

He wouldn't mind lending a hand to this fellow alumnus.

However, when Chen Jingyuan arrived at President Sun's office the next day...

"Xiao Chen, your rank has been promoted two levels, a promotion that is exceptional."

Sun Zhonghuai suddenly spoke up!

The words had barely left his lips when Chen Jingyuan was taken aback.

According to his original plan, he had already been promoted twice in his position last year.

There is virtually no chance of him being promoted this time.

"Xiao Chen, President Sun really went against everyone's wishes this time!"

Ma Yankun, the person in charge of variety shows who was reporting on his work nearby, smiled even more.

The release of "Heart Signal" was also a great help to this person.

I've also received a favor from Chen Jingyuan, so I don't mind saying some nice things.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Sun!"

Chen Jingyuan immediately reacted and spoke up.

He was promoted again, reaching the T4.1 level.

Even without bonuses, the annual salary could exceed one million.

If you include all the miscellaneous expenses, it's quite easy to earn over 1.2 million a year.

However, Sun Zhonghuai's next words made Chen Jingyuan's feelings even more complicated.

"Next is your work arrangement."

"I plan to give you more freedom."

"Your task after the new year is to establish an independent studio."

"You will be in charge of this studio!"

"We do not restrict self-produced dramas and variety shows, but if the investment is too large, we still need to discuss it with other departments."

"You can take advantage of this time before the New Year to carefully select some candidates from your department."

...

Chen Jingyuan could still sense absolute trust in his words.

Establishing your own studio gives you considerable power.

This means that Chen Jingyuan can be fully responsible for some projects with relatively small investments.

If he didn't trust this person very much, Chen Jingyuan could slack off without feeling guilty.

It's not good to let this person down now; we should at least achieve something.

With this sense of responsibility in his heart, Chen Jingyuan walked out of President Sun's office.

To repay your kindness on the Golden Terrace, I would gladly die for you, wielding the Jade Dragon sword!

While he wouldn't say he reached that level, Chen Jingyuan was not an ungrateful person.

It's time to step up!

"Won't he wait until Ning Wang goes public before becoming a senior executive at Tencent Video?!"

Suddenly, an idea popped into Chen Jingyuan's mind.

However, he quickly shook his head, realizing that a promotion might not be so easy.

Just after Chen Jingyuan left, in the president's office.

"Mr. Sun, you think so highly of Xiao Chen!?"

Ma Yankun couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Xiao Chen is very talented and has a good eye; it's only right that he receives exceptional treatment."

"If they are poached by video websites like Alibaba, it would be a huge loss."

Instead of answering the question directly, Sun Zhonghuai spoke slowly.

Tencent Video isn't exactly a top-tier platform to begin with, and if it loses talent to other companies, it will only make things worse.

There are many rumors about people changing jobs, getting promoted, and getting raises in internet companies.

On the other hand, Chen Jingyuan began selecting suitable people from various departments.

Although no official news has been released about the studio, there are some rumors circulating.

This is also an opportunity for some ordinary employees.

This person's demonstrated abilities are beyond doubt, and their future looks very bright.

Following this person might open up more possibilities.

Liu Yang was the first to confirm, without any hesitation.

Next, Chen Jingyuan selected a few more people in his mind, and the basic framework of the studio was roughly complete.

We can consider hiring interns later; there's no need to rush.
