American Fortune Life

In the early morning, the sunlight pierced through the cumulus clouds in the east, dyeing the clouds in the sky a few patches of color. But in an instant it turned into a gloomy sky again.

On the Miami skyline stands the 70-story Four Seasons Hotel, the tallest building south of Atlanta in the United States.

In the presidential suite, Andy, who had woken up, embraced Lima who was wearing an inch of LV behind his back. The two looked out of the large curved window in the bedroom, the pure beauty of Biscayne Bay and the colorful clouds in the sky.

"Ok?"

The sleepy-eyed Lima hummed lightly, sensing a ferocious change somewhere in someone, turned around abruptly, gave Andy a charming white look, and then kissed him lightly on the mouth.

"The weather in Miami is really speechless, it can change as you say..."

As he said that, he broke free from Andy's arms, lifted the blanket, jumped off the bed, giggled and raised his eyebrows and said: "There are activities in the morning and a big show in the afternoon, I don't have time to mess around with you , I shouldn’t have compromised last night, damn it, let’s not talk about it, I have to go back before 8 o’clock, if I go back late, I will be embarrassing...”

Lima rummaged through the carpet to find her lace NEI dress, and walked to the bathroom with it. Andy curled her lips, but she didn't have to do morning exercises. After all, today is very important to Lima, which made her legs and feet weak , If you make an embarrassment on the runway, it will be a complete stop.

Click——

Lima with wet hair, tall and slender body wearing only a set of black underwear, found a set of running equipment from his satchel, sports wipes, black tights, a pair of running shoes, and quickly put on .

After changing, I went to the edge and bent over to kiss Andy, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go first, see you in the afternoon."

Looking at the ruddy and energetic Lima, Andy smiled and said, "Have fun!"

"Yes!" Lima raised his eyebrows and smiled, then put on his sunglasses, turned around and walked out of the bedroom quickly, resolutely.

He valued the cool and sexy Lima's back, and Andy raised his arms high, stretched his waist, and then got up from the wound, looking at the little Andy with his head drooping, he couldn't help but muttered: "I will let you go tonight!" Have a good time..."

After finishing the morning run, I returned to Lima, where Victoria’s Secret stayed at the hotel. I changed into a white vest and white leggings in the room. After a simple breakfast, I followed the team to Miami Beach for a fashion shoot. show.

The Victoria's Secret Angels are almost all over the city. Dozens of Victoria's Secret Angels, including Haima, Alexander, Big KK, Doutzen and Miranda Kerr, formed a luxurious supermodel team and showed off their hot bodies in white bikinis, detonating up the beaches of Miami.

And at this moment, Andy had already got into the car and went straight to the office of the "Miami Herald" newspaper in Key Biscayne.

In the conference room, Andy and Gary Pruitt, CEO of McClatchy Newspaper Group, shook hands with a smile. Although the other party was smiling, he seemed somewhat bitter. Andy didn't care whether the other party's mood was complicated. He came here today to Receive this century-old newspaper.

There were not too many pleasantries, and the process of completing the transaction was not too troublesome. The negotiation teams of both parties had already resolved all the troubles. When the king met the king, the last step was to pay the money and deliver the goods.

"Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

After exchanging and signing the contract, Andy and Garip shook hands and congratulated each other with smiles on their faces. At this time, flashing lights and warm applause lit up in the meeting room. Surprisingly, the most excited one was the "Miami Herald" A group of executives from the newspaper office.

The people of McClatchy Newspaper Group left the newspaper office soon after they got the check. For them, this newspaper office has become a thing of the past, and now it has a new owner, Andy Smith.

"Sit down, I'm meeting you for the first time today, but as a media person, you should be familiar with me, well, you should be very familiar with me..."

"Papa--"

All the executives applauded again with smiles on their faces. They welcomed the new boss from the bottom of their hearts.

After all, no one wants to see the "Miami Herald" go downhill, and having a new boss who is not short of money will undoubtedly save them from worrying about following in the footsteps of other newspapers and closing their publications.

Andy smiled and stretched out his hand to press down. After the applause subsided, he slowly restrained the smile on his face. After looking around, he said in a serious tone: "The financial crisis has a very destructive impact on the American newspaper industry. Yes, everyone has a deep understanding of this point. It is firstly reflected in the circulation of the newspaper. According to the data, the circulation of the "Miami Herald" fell by 25% on weekdays and 14% on weekends. The situation is very severe.

At the same time, affected by the financial crisis and the sharp increase in competition pressure from the Internet, the shrinking of the US newspaper industry has become an unchangeable fact. The advertising revenue of American newspapers has also dropped significantly during the financial crisis.

I know that the "Herald" has just undergone a major layoff. In terms of "saving money", layoffs are undoubtedly the most direct, most effective, and most commonly used method. Perhaps this will make the newspaper a little bit stretched. , however, I hope you can overcome these difficulties.

The financial crisis will eventually pass, but media change is inevitable. With the rapid development of new technologies, the real impact of the financial crisis is to accelerate and shorten the process of global media transformation.

What surprised me is that the number of independent visitors of the online edition of the newspaper has remained at 5 million per month. This is a treasure, but the operating expenses of the website are not much, and the profitability still needs to be tapped. Next, the newspaper should pay more attention to the newspaper. Operation of the Site.

All of you present here are senior figures in the media industry. You should be very clear about the difficulties facing the newspaper industry. I will not repeat them here. I hope you can work together to overcome the difficulties. Self-responsibility for profit and loss is my current expectation for a newspaper office.

At the same time, you can go back and tell the employees of the newspaper office that they can work with peace of mind, and that the newspaper office has no plans to lay off staff again. . . "

"Wow - pop -"

The atmosphere in the conference room was somewhat dignified. After Andy finished his last sentence, applause broke out again. Everyone's heavy heart finally relaxed. More than 400 people were laid off just now. If there are more layoffs, it will be Really want no one available.

The next meeting time was for the heads of each department to introduce themselves and report the details of each department to let the new boss know. The meeting lasted for two hours before it ended.

After the meeting, Andy left behind the former vice president of the newspaper, Alisa Vanafor, yes, a woman, don't get me wrong, a woman in her fifties.

The so-called president of the previous newspaper has left with the people of McClatchy Newspaper Group, and Alisa is a "local" of the "Miami Herald", her ability is beyond doubt, otherwise she would not take the position of vice president .

"Alyssa, I want you to be the publisher and CEO of the newspaper. What do you think?" Andy said straight to the point without going around in circles.

"Thank you boss for your trust..."

Seeing the other party's excited expression, Andy couldn't help laughing and said: "That's it, the finance department and the legal department will welcome new supervisors, and they will cooperate with your work well, no problem?"

"No problem." Alisa replied without hesitation.

"Well, very good... Let's do this, I will leave 10 million yuan for the newspaper, and in addition to making up for the 3 million yuan loss, you will use part of the rest for the operation of the website. By the way, recruit someone or Promote a professional director of the network department, find a way to increase the revenue of the website, five million visits can't just be wasted..."

While talking, Andy took the check book from the little assistant, lowered his head and wrote it, while the new CEO of the newspaper, Alyssa, flushed with excitement, this is the biggest thing for her as the new CEO. Support, money can make her better use her talents, and sure enough, the new boss is really not short of money!
