American Fortune Life

In the office, Andy tapped the keyboard on the notebook quickly. The story of "Gossip Girl" has written more than a dozen chapters. He wants to write the story of the first season as soon as possible. It will delay the upload.

In fact, as a newspaper office that has been in operation for 20 years, the role played by the boss in the newspaper office is very small, and there are very few places where he can intervene. What Andy has always believed in is that professional matters are left to professional people. take care of. He will definitely not do the kind of thing that laymen lead experts. Not only is it thankless, but it is very likely to mess things up.

As for the loss of the newspaper, Andy didn't care too much about it. Before the acquisition, he told Arthur Carter that he had a complete plan for the future and could keep the newspaper out of losses, not bragging.

But it needs to inject capital first, and start up the backward online version of the "New York Observer".

Andy has seen the online version of "The Observer", and it is almost a copy of what is published in the paper media on the website, which is almost ridiculous. Facing the challenges of the Internet, the humorous and sarcastic writing style of "The Observer" in the past should be very easy to convert to the online version, instead of simply copying and pasting. It cannot but be said that it has an important relationship with Arthur Carter himself , People do not want to make changes when they are old, and even stubbornly refuse to change, which makes newspapers enter the Internet age too slowly and fail.

If you want to quickly gain a foothold in the Internet age, you can only take a slant. The "headline party" that people hate in the future will provide more explosive news information, replace text reports with pictures as much as possible, and create various street interviews. In order to establish the unique charm of the online version of "Observer" by experimenting with special videos shot secretly on the street, so as to attract more readers and advertisements.

Well, these are just his own ideas. As for the feasibility, he still needs to hold a meeting with the newspaper's management to study and discuss.

drop...

Andy stopped typing, stretched out his hand and pressed on the answering machine whose red light had been flashing.

"Annie, what's the matter?"

"Boss, editor-in-chief Pete Kaplan wants to see you."

"Okay, let him in, and also, bring in two cups of coffee, thank you." After speaking, she turned off the answering machine, and shook the mouse to save the file. Anne, as Arthur Carter's secretary, has been working She is very diligent and responsible. Before leaving, Arthur hoped that Andy would not fire her.

Andy didn't have the idea of ​​replacing Anne, and he didn't think about recruiting another secretary with a hot body and a beautiful appearance. After all, he won't stay in the newspaper for a long time, and Annie is already working as a secretary. It's been a long time and he is familiar with all aspects, so he agreed to Arthur Carter's request without the slightest hesitation.

This made Annie, who thought she would be transferred to another position or directly fired, almost cried out of excitement. After all, the boss's secretary was well paid and the work was not tiring. Annie, who is already a mother of two children, was very afraid of losing her job. .

Pete Kaplan opened the door and walked in, with a anxious expression on his face. Andy looked at him and asked with a smile, "What's the matter Pete, seeing how anxious you are, could it be that there is some big news out there?"

"Ahem, Boss, the biggest news in New York right now is the acquisition of the newspaper. The corridor outside the newspaper office is full of reporters who want to interview you." Pete Kaplan almost choked to death. It was full, and the employees of the newspaper office would be surrounded by reporters when they came in and out. It really affected the work too much. I had no choice but to come to see the boss and hope that he would go out for interviews and let those reporters leave as soon as possible.

"Hehe, I won't accept the interview. It's not the right time. Besides, these reporters are not enough... Well, you go to the interview." Andy said with a smile, seeing that Pete Kaplan wanted to refuse, He continued: "That's it, I'm sure you can handle it. Looks like you'll have to come back for coffee,

Ha ha. "

"I... that's fine." Pete Kaplan had no choice but to stand up and leave Andy's office, complaining resentfully in his heart: "Since you don't want to be interviewed, why do you have to release the news of the acquisition yourself?" Hey, the reporters outside are really a headache, and the questions are not easy to answer. Yes, you must think about it before you speak, and don't say the wrong thing at that time, so that the boss will hate you..."

Andy shook his head and laughed, knowing that he asked Pete to block the gun a bit unreasonably, but who made him the boss, besides, he had already answered the phone call from his father Auston, what made him helpless was that his father had already answered the call for him. I had an exclusive interview, which was also the first interview with a reporter since time travel. There was no way, the other party was a bit big.

Originally, even if the other party had a big name, Andy could have ignored him at all, but he couldn't stand the betrayal of his father. They all said that China is a society of human relationships, and it is impossible to get things done without a network. The same is true in the United States. What is a network? As an old-fashioned political family, it has a wide network of contacts, which need not be repeated. Similarly, it is also a network of other people. Only by mutual benefit and mutual help can a network be formed.

At the beginning, when he heard the other party's name, Andy's head got dizzy, damn it, this is a standard cheating son.

"New York Times" gold medal reporter Andrew Sorkin has always been known for his tricky and direct questions. In his interviews, you don't have to think about being in a good mood. Fate is his forte.

The people he interviewed were all well-known. Usually, when politicians want to be interviewed by him, he really doesn't necessarily agree, except for scandals. Well, it was too late for people to hide from him at that time.

Andy knew that he also saw the contest between him and Papa Ma at the Davos Forum in his previous life. Papa Ma's eloquence is not for bragging, a character who can fool people into limping will naturally not frighten him, and the verbal battle between you and me is extremely exciting.

No way, Andrew Sorkin is also a member of the Republic of DANG, and he is a hardcore man. He has a good relationship with the Smith family. When he called Alston, he agreed for his son without any hesitation. Anyway, he was not the one who felt uncomfortable. Well, he is going to run for Congress. Although it is a small election year, don't take it lightly. The soft articles of "New York Times" are ten thousand times stronger than "Observer". . .

What did you say? Son's dark history?

Andy's young fame shows that his education is very successful, and he is an excellent father. As for black history. . . Andy was an adult at that time, and he was already responsible for his own actions, and he had nothing to do with Mao. Besides, whoever has not had an embarrassing past, it would be nice if the prodigal son turned around.

As for the exposed scars. . . Auston could only shrug his shoulders indifferently, wishing for luck, a man should be more ruthless to himself! isn't it?

If Andy knew the true thoughts of his unscrupulous father, he would definitely vomit blood in anger. He sighed, took a sip of coffee, and prepared to continue writing novels.

buzz buzz. . .

The mobile phone on the table kept vibrating, and Andy smiled wryly. It seemed that he couldn't write with peace of mind today.

After looking at it, he immediately picked it up, and asked respectfully, "Grandpa, long time no see, how are you doing recently?"

"Haha, brat, you know it's been a long time? Why didn't you come to see me?" Old Smith's barrage of questions made Andy very embarrassed. Fortunately, this embarrassment was quickly comforted by Old Smith. The words of the tone were dispelled.

"Andy, you did a good job! The slump in the past few years did not make me sink, but I became more mature. I am very relieved. You are worthy of being a child of the Smith family. Your father told me about your performance in the morning. It's surprising, that stubborn old man Arthur has been persuaded by you, it's really unexpected..."

Being praised by one's own relatives and acknowledging it is definitely a very happy thing. Even though Andy has never met the congressman's grandfather, he is still very happy, without humility, "Thank you, I just did what I can, In the end, it was Meidao who moved him."

"Hehe, you brat, Arthur is not short of money... well, I just called to congratulate you, do it well, "The Observer" is a high-quality asset, although it is only a regional newspaper, its influence And credibility are not possessed by many newspapers. The 20-year consistent neutrality is really commendable. Even the "New York Times" has a scandal of fake news, not to mention some other tabloids. If you run it well, it will let you He has won the friendship and respect of many people." Old Smith leaned on the boss's chair in the office, smiling kindly.

"I see, Grandpa, you said so much, you don't want me to ask the newspaper to write soft articles for the Republican Party in the future?" Andy laughed jokingly.

"Hahaha, brat! No need, at least not now, that's Manhattan! Celebrities on the Upper East Side value profit. Of course, public opinion will affect many things. Maintaining neutrality is what the Observer should do. As long as you don't Touching mainstream values, its status will become more and more important. When it is necessary to write soft articles, its value and role will be huge... Okay, I know you hate politics, but this is our Smith family Genji, I don’t force you to enter the political arena, but I can’t completely stay away like your uncle.” Old Smith smiled happily, and told Andy his opinion, only thinking of Andy’s rejection of politics and the disappointment of himself. The eldest son couldn't help but secretly sighed.

"Let's not talk about that. Old George called me yesterday. He highly respected your girlfriend Wanka and praised her for her elegance. I read her profile and found that she is indeed an excellent woman, both in appearance and in knowledge. They are all excellent, the most important thing is that they have no chaotic private life, they are very self-cultivated, although the family lacks heritage, it is not a problem, and it is very suitable to be your wife..."

Andy was still listening to Old Smith's teaching very seriously, but as he listened, the topic turned to his wife, and Andy immediately interrupted his grandfather's self-talk, "Grandpa, we are just in love, I'm only 21, I'm not going to get married so early..."
