American Fortune Life

"Bang bang bang..."

With a smile on his face, Andy stared straight ahead, ignoring the reporters who had already surrounded his car and slammed on the window glass desperately, but his naturally hanging hands clenched into fists, and then loosened. Kailai eased the excitement in his heart.

The speech at the press conference surprised all the reporters present, and also mentioned everyone’s concerns about the paper media. It was also because of a summary that the media felt Lai Andy’s confidence and vigor in managing the paper media publishing well.

This is undoubtedly an exciting breeze for the generally sluggish media industry. No one will go too far to mock Andy's age and overreach, because the "New York Observer" newspaper he acquired last year not only It turned losses into profits, and went out of New York State to spread sales across the United States.

This is simply unbelievable. Against the background of the decline in overall sales of the paper media and the shrinking market, "The Observer" went against the market, shocked everyone's jaws, and made those media who had ridiculed Andy Smith And the reporter's face was swollen.

A special issue made the media and celebrities who had ridiculed him become the laughing stock of the American people, because the editors of the "Observer", which were already known for their hot comments, almost racked their brains and tried their best to ridicule him. The hateful comments are marked on the top of those people and the media as if they don't want money.

It also made everyone realize that this young man who is called a genius must be vengeful.

Now, just now, this young man who is only 22 years old, who is so young that he is too young, spent one dollar to buy "Newsweek", which has just passed his 74th birthday, has influenced generations of Americans and reshaped the values ​​​​of American imperialism after the war.

It directly detonated the excitement of all the media at the press conference, and the huge news value made all the reporters crazy.

$1, 22 years old, 74 years old!

Now that the Internet is developed, these three keywords are like wings, no, it should be a few pairs of wings, centered on Washington, spreading to all directions, the United States, and all the countries where Newsweek radiates. . .

"Hey, honey, did you see the news about Andy Smith's acquisition of Newsweek?" Wendy Murdoch was sitting on the sofa in the living room at home, watching the Fox News Channel, holding the phone, his face still full of excitement. with a surprised expression.

"Hehe, I just found out that he is such a powerful young man. With only one dollar, he turned an acquisition that took over a mess into a big news that attracted worldwide attention..."

Listening to her husband's explanation, Wendy Murdoch couldn't help opening and closing his lips, not knowing what to say.

However, what my husband said is true. The difficulties faced by "Newsweek" are not a secret in the industry. Whoever takes over will need to inject capital to support the newspaper for a long time. Under the general environment, even It is possible to get stuck in this quagmire.

But now this dollar makes the "Newsweek", whose influence has declined, appear in front of the people of the United States here, and it will occupy the main page of news reports in the next period of time by swiping the screen.

"Snapped!"

"God! Tell me it's not because I'm crazy..."

"Owen, what's wrong with you... God!"

Owen Matthews, an editor who has worked for "Newsweek" for fifteen years, looked at the headlines on the front page of the opened webpage, the teacup in his hand fell to the floor, and he was stunned and unable to utter a word.

The colleague next to him looked over with a concerned head, and was also shocked by the news headlines.

"The newspaper was bought for a dollar..."

I don't know who stood up and shouted in a trembling voice. The atmosphere in the newspaper office, which was already in a strange atmosphere, became even more heavy. Everyone felt oppressed by the dark clouds. Who are the Wall Street elites stationed in the conference room and what are they doing!

"Ding!"

"Ding!"

. . . . . .

The email notifications sounded on the computers of all the newspaper staff.

Everyone sat quietly in front of the computer and opened the e-mail in a tacit understanding.

"Hello, fellow weekly magazines, I'm Andy Smith, your new boss. I think you've heard through various sources what happened in Washington...

Challenged by the Internet, the American newspaper industry has increasingly entered an unprecedented bottleneck. In the past, the newspaper empires were all seeking a way out in a difficult journey.

What is black and white and it's about to die?

newspaper!

Although the words are ruthless, it is true. According to the data of the U.S. Circulation Examination Bureau, as of February this year, the circulation of 57 U.S. daily and evening papers fell by 464% in 6 months, and the circulation was only 38.16 million copies. This compares with a circulation of 420,000 copies in the same period last year.

Then the advertising revenue is affected. Statistics from the Newspaper Association of America show that in the first quarter of 27, the advertising yield of printed newspapers and online newspapers dropped by 181 percentage points. This is the sixth consecutive quarter of declining advertising revenue.

The economic model in which newspapers operate can no longer function!

The situation has deteriorated to such an extent that this is an unprecedented situation. And the way many decision makers deal with this problem is not right. They pay too much attention to the amount of cost input, and this will gradually lose the influence of their own products.

My arrival cannot change the shrinking trend of the paper media market. Of course, it will not change the tradition of weekly magazines, reducing paper publications and deflecting the distribution of electronic editions.

What we are facing is a huge challenge in the future. I hope that all colleagues can continue to stand together with the newspaper through thick and thin.

I will stay in Washington for a while, but I believe we will meet soon. Here, I would like to thank all my colleagues for their hard work.

Andy Smith."

In the unusually quiet office hall, I don't know if it was the female editor who said to herself: "The new boss, he is really young and handsome..."

"Pfft!"

"Don't be an idiot, look, this is his girlfriend, a wealthy daughter..."

Afterwards, the entire newspaper quickly regained its vitality, and some people gathered together to browse the latest reports.

Although Andy's e-mail could not completely dispel everyone's concerns, it at least played a role in stabilizing the morale of the army. A boss who is very familiar with the media industry will undoubtedly dissipate the layman's nonsense that everyone is worried about.

At the same time, the three major TV stations in the United States and all the cable TV networks are focusing on reporting this matter in the form of interstitials, and even the three major TV stations directly invite guests in the studio to do special discussions and analysis.

For the first time, the people of the United States have a clear understanding of the difficulties faced by the traditional paper media in the United States and the unchangeable general trend.

In the 10,000-card luxury suite of the CP International Hotel, Andy was smiling tirelessly and thanking for the number of congratulatory calls.

And Ivana's eyes were narrowed into crescent moons with the same smile, with a rich expression, her chin was slightly raised, and the person on the phone was gently shaking and chatting.

At about the same time, both of them hung up the phones in their hands, looked at each other and smiled, Ivana hugged Andy's arm tightly, and smiled happily: "It's really crazy, I have received several TV interviews Call, the three major TV stations want me to appear on their news commentary programs, God, they know they can't invite you, so they focus on me..."

Andy twitched his arms, pulled her into his arms, stroked her back, and said with a slightly upturned mouth: "Go if you like."

"That's impossible." Ivana looked up at Andy with beautiful eyes, "There are only two days to prepare for the celebration dinner, which is the most important thing. I don't have time to participate in any TV interviews. In the afternoon, I will discuss with the management of the hotel. After all, the guests invited to the dinner are not only large in number, but also very important, almost covering the power center of the entire United States. Whether it is security or food, I need to personally ask about it. There was a little mistake..."

Andy smiled lightly and looked at Ivana, whose face was blushing because of excitement, and talked freely. It seemed that the troublesome and trivial things that came out of her mouth were very happy for her.

I couldn't help but think of the photos of Ms. Kai in the post showroom that showed her control over the social circle. Perhaps Ms. Kai's mood and expression when preparing for the banquet at that time were similar to Ivana's at this time.
