American Fortune Life

After waiting for everyone to sit down, Simon Garner, who has been the editor-in-chief of the newspaper for more than 10 years, submitted the reform plan formulated by Andy, the new boss's plan, to the young new boss through the two-day meeting and discussion.

Andy took it and began to look through it, but the atmosphere on the conference table was a little depressed. He raised his head and glanced at the editor-in-chief Simon Garner, and continued to look down at the document, but the corners of his mouth slightly turned up and he said: "You have all seen today's documents. Early Guardian?"

The expressions of the management of the newspaper, including Simon Garner, couldn't help but stagnate, showing unspeakable embarrassment. As the editor-in-chief, Simon could only bite the bullet and reply: "Boss, I have read it. For 20 years, they have been with us. I can't deal with it, so..."

“So they gloated that the new boss was a shock to you as editor, that we were the paper that was always at the bottom of the circulation and that my presence would bring hope, but not instant salvation. "

Andy raised his head, looked around with a smile on his face, and finally fell on the editor-in-chief who was speculated by many media that he would be kicked out as soon as he took over. After all, the editor-in-chief for 10 years has run the newspaper like this. blame.

In fact, the drama and sarcasm in the "Guardian" report are more straightforward, but, after all, he is his own subordinate, and his boss naturally cannot join the ranks of sarcasm.

"...When the news of the acquisition came, the employees in the press office in Kensington really let out a burst of cheers, sincerely welcoming the boss's move in."

Listening to Simon Garner's cockney flattery, Andy couldn't help but chuckled, "It's understandable, at least the staff of the two newspapers will retain their jobs, and they don't have to worry about losing their jobs for the time being...

Well, the reform plan is not bad, and it fits well with the idea of ​​running a newspaper of the trendy newspaper "i" I think. By the way, Ian Birrell welcomes you back. "

A middle-aged Caucasian man with a height of about 170 centimeters and sharp eyes hurriedly expressed gratitude and said, "Thank you, boss."

Andy waved his hand and smiled lightly: "I'm not the INM Group. I'm not afraid that your sharp comments will cause controversy. As long as you don't violate the law, the newspaper will support you. In this way, Simon, you are responsible for the unified management of the newspaper, and the newspaper on Sunday. And the content review of the new newspaper "i" to be published.

Ian, you are in charge of the content of Du Libao. I still say the same thing. I am not afraid of controversy or trouble. As long as it can make its content unique and dazzling, it can increase sales, and our readers like it. "

Hearing the words of the new boss, everyone present also confirmed their thoughts. This is a pragmatic boss, similar to that Murdoch, and everything is for the purpose of getting readers to pay for it.

Cough, do you want to be a headline party like that third-rate tabloid "The Sun"?

If you let Andy know the thoughts of his subordinates, he will definitely kill them. Nima, he still looks down on the "Sun" and doesn't look at the sales volume of others. How can he have the confidence to laugh at others as a third-rate tabloid!

"Simon, I've read your vision for the trendy newspaper "i", and it is indeed rich in experience, but remember that no members under the age of 30 are allowed in the established team, and they will be drawn from the hands of the two newspapers. If there is no one, recruit. The newspaper is priced at 20 pence. I want its content to be the most trendy and fashionable. The readership is for teenagers under 24. At that time, it can cooperate with the lifestyle section of the Evening Standard.

This year on Christmas Eve, 100,000 copies will be distributed for free, and at the same time, I will spend 1 million pounds to find a marketing company to operate it, so that it can become a hit! "

Everyone was shocked by Andy's handwriting, millions of marketing expenses, hell, the rich boss is asking for a salary increase. . .

Andy naturally saw the eager eyes of a group of subordinates, but he would not treat this group of people kindly now, and if he didn't make some achievements, maybe the people who appeared here today would be changed the next time we meet.

"This one is Greg Godek, former director of the BBC,

He will serve as the CEO of the independent newspaper company, and everything in the company except newspaper content will be entrusted to him in the future. . . "

Grigor stood up with a smile on his face and greeted everyone's complicated gazes, which received warm applause.

When the applause stopped, Andy continued: "Grigor, the Du Li Bao website will be operated independently. You can catch this matter. The Times' website has charged in June, and our Du Li Bao content is still free, but "" The i》news section is still charged at 20 pence, I hope you can make the website grow quickly and seize the market, I will give you 10 million pounds of operating capital, don’t let me down."

"I understand the boss." Grigor replied with a serious expression.

Everyone is also suddenly enlightened. It turns out that they are going to transform to the Internet. Undoubtedly, the way of free Internet "impacts" the existing market competition pattern.

Fortunately, the news that the outside world and everyone in the newspaper office are guessing that the newspaper is also free has not happened. Otherwise, there will be a process of reshuffling the mainstream British media structure.

In the afternoon, Andy came to the DU Newspaper Office in Kensington District, a four-story Victorian architectural style building facing the street. This building also belongs to the assets of the newspaper office. Of course, it has already been mortgaged to the bank.

You must know that because of Kensington Palace, Kensington has always been a well-known wealthy area in London, and the average house price of apartments here is also maintained at 2 million pounds. The price of the four-story newspaper building will also increase in the future. higher.

Walking around in the newspaper office, showing his face, he must let the employees of the newspaper office meet their new boss. He also made a brief and only interview in London, hoping to open a new chapter for the newspaper office.

Of course, once the neutral style has been changed, the comments and criticisms have become more pungent, and dulibao, which likes to debate everywhere, has ushered in a new future.

In the night of London, Andy led his assistants and bodyguards to board the plane back to the United States.

The difference from when he came here is that during his time in London, he has already established a foothold and a financial nail on this land, and started planning ahead of time for the European financial turmoil in the next few years.

"This way please...Mr. Smith, this is your place...do you want me to get you another blanket..."

Andy was enjoying the thoughtful and thoughtful service of the stewardess Meiyan wearing a classic red dress uniform with a smile on his face. The most important reason why he chose Virgin Atlantic was because of the tight-fitting seats in the first-class cabin, and the seat pitch was wide enough. Make long-distance travel more spacious and comfortable.

Of course, compared to other airline stewardesses, the Virgin stewardesses, who have always been known for their striking silk bow ties and fitted red uniforms, exude taste, charm and cheerful spirit when serving him. One has to marvel at these "red sexy babes" that will make the journey more enjoyable.

With the help of the hot stewardess, Andy adjusted the angle of the seat, opened the workbench, put on the laptop, and was about to "create" a serial novel for DU Libao, when a slightly rash golden brown The girl with shawl hair, with a tangled expression, poked her head into Andy's first-class cabin.

"Sorry to bother you, Mr. Smith, I am a fan of your book, can you sign an autograph for me?"

"Ok?"

When Andy heard the sound, he frowned slightly. The stewardess who was leaning over to help him put the blanket on his legs just blocked his sight. Because of the sudden voice, the stewardess also straightened up and looked back at the door.

"Hermione?" The stewardess blurted out a little surprised.

Andy also waved his hand. When he went back as a bodyguard, he looked amusedly and unexpectedly at Miss Watson, who was obviously embarrassed by the title of Hermione.

Well, Miss Watson, who is only 17 years old now, has begun to deliberately want to tell others that she has grown up. A pair of tight jeans, a small black slim suit and a white sweater with a black petal neckline, highlighting her mountain bag that has just taken shape.

Andy stood up from his seat with a smile, stretched out his hand, with a charming smile on his face, the whole person was very sunny and gentle, "Hello, Miss Watson, it's a pleasure to meet you, to have a beautiful girl like you Reader, I am very happy."

"Thank you." Emma Watson, coughing, Emma and the handsome Andy looked at each other, seeing the admiring gaze in Andy's eyes, she couldn't help avoiding her gaze, lowered her head slightly, and reached out to pin the hair on one cheek to her ear Rear.

Andy smiled faintly, let go of Miss Watson's nin slippery hand, and said, "Please sit down, what do you want to drink?"

"Oh... no, thank you, I heard from my companion that I saw you just now, you know, I am a member of your readers club, but I have never had the chance to meet you, not even an autograph, sorry, a bit abrupt It's..."

Andy looked at Emma's lively and anxious expression, and spoke beautiful English words with a small mouth.

"Well, it seems to be my fault! Then, let me make up for this mistake." Andy made an exaggerated apology, took the "Hunger Games" from Miss Watson's hand, opened the pages, and brushed Start signing.

After signing, she returned the book to the pretty and ruddy Miss Watsons. Emma turned the pages and saw "To the magical girl Emma Watson, thank you for your support, I am also your fan - Andy Smith ..."

"This..." Seeing the string of numbers behind, Emma couldn't help raising her head to look at Andy's handsome face with her heart beating faster.

Andy shrugged, raised his eyebrows and said, "That's my apology, that's my private number."

Emma's fair cheeks turned red instantly, well, American boys are really straightforward enough. . .

Well, the magical girl thinks a little too much. To be honest, Andy is still a little bit hesitant about this Miss Watson who has changed eight boyfriends in seven years. Well, her image is more of Hermione, looking at those freckles on Watson's chick's face, she can't help but sigh secretly.
