Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Since meeting Lin Daoqiu for an exclusive interview several months ago, Claydberg has not seen Lin Daoqiu for a long time.

So he suddenly received a call from Lin Daoqiu asking him to have coffee, which surprised Claydberg.

But he didn't think too much about it. After all, establishing a good relationship with Lin Daoqiu would definitely be of great help to future interviews, so Claydberg immediately agreed.

At a coffee shop near Time magazine, Claydberg met Lin Daoqiu, who had already arrived.

"Mr. Lin, I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting."

Originally, Claydberg thought that he would be faster if he came five minutes earlier, but what he didn't expect was that Lin Daoqiu was faster than him.

You must know that this cafe is near the headquarters of Time magazine. According to common sense, you should arrive first.

This is not just a matter of who goes first and who comes last. You must know that Lin Daoqiu is the boss of MGM. How could he, a busy man, treat himself to a cup of coffee and arrive a step early?

If Lin Daoqiu just wanted to drink coffee with him when he was idle, Claydberg wouldn't believe it.

"It's okay. I originally asked you to go out for coffee. I should have arrived early. Please sit down."

Claydberg sat across from Lin Daoqiu with a lot of doubts. After ordering a cup of coffee, Claydberg's brain began to work rapidly.

Lin Daoqiu suddenly took the initiative to invite him for coffee. The only possibility was that he could help him in some way, or that he had something he needed to do by himself.

Thinking that Lin Daoqiu recently opened a newspaper called "Reader Times", is it possible that Lin Daoqiu wants to discuss cooperation with "Time" magazine?

After all, "Reader Times" is in its infancy and its reputation in the industry is not very great. If it can get help from "Time" magazine, it will definitely be a good thing for "Reader Times".

What Claydberg couldn't figure out was how Lin Daoqiu planned to help him.

"Mr. Berg must have heard about the news that I opened a newspaper called "Reader Times" before, right?"

Claydberg nodded. Not only had he heard about this matter, but he also knew some of the specific details.

After all, before Lin Daoqiu established the Reader Times, he acquired a large number of newspapers and magazines and merged them together. Claydberg had even heard about his subsequent search for Merrill Lynch.

But that's all he knew. As for Lin Daoqiu and those consortiums, he knew nothing about it.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Lin would enter the media. I was really shocked when I learned the news. Speaking of which, we are now peers."

Although Kleidberg said this, Lin Daoqiu was the boss of Reader Times, and he was just the editor-in-chief of Time. There was a huge difference in identity and status between the two people.

Lin Daoqiu knew that Claydberg was an arrogant person, but such people were usually very capable. If he could use them well, it would definitely be a great help to him.

"Reader Times has only been established for a short period of time, but the daily sales volume of the newspaper has exceeded 200,000 copies. I am determined to build Reader Times into one of the three major newspapers in North America. What do you think?"

"Judging from the current situation of Readers' Times, as long as it can continue to develop steadily, Mr. Lin's wish will come true sooner or later."

It's not that Claydberg is flattering Lin Daoqiu. Being able to make a newly established newspaper reach a daily sales volume of 200,000 newspapers in just a few months is not something that everyone can do.

.

If Lin Daoqiu can keep "Reader Times" at such a growth momentum, Kleidberg believes that in another ten years, "Reader Times" really hopes to become one of the most influential newspapers in North America.

"Does Mr. Berg also feel that the future of Reader's Times is bright?"

"Of course, at least that's the case for now."

Lin Daoqiu's question was a bit strange, but Claydberg nodded anyway.

"If I say that I would like to invite you to be the editor-in-chief of "Reader Times", I wonder if Mr. Berg is interested in taking over this position?"

"Wha... what? You want to invite me to be the editor-in-chief of "Reader Times"? Are you kidding me?"

Claydberg's eyes widened in surprise. From the time he received Lin Daoqiu's call until now, this thought had never occurred to him even once.

Lin Daoqiu actually wanted to invite him to be the editor-in-chief of "Reader Times". What was going on? Claydberg was completely confused.

"The current editor-in-chief of "Reader Times", Lainbohm, was appointed by me on a temporary basis. Although his work ability is good, he obviously has some shortcomings in ability to pilot this big ship..."

"I have been in contact with you for some time before, and I found that you are a manager with both talent and strength. If you serve as the editor-in-chief of "Reader Times", I think it will be very suitable."

It was a bit embarrassing to be praised so much by Lin Daoqiu to Claydberg.

"Mr. Lin is too polite. I'm not as good as you said. I'm really embarrassed that you praise me like this."

Although he said this, judging from the smile on Claydberg's face, Lin Daoqiu's compliment was still very useful to him.

"I have only one purpose for inviting you here today, and that is to invite you to take charge of "Readers Times". I will try my best to provide you with all the conveniences. All I need is your nod."

Claydberg was really not mentally prepared for Lin Daoqiu's sudden offer of an olive branch.

He had a good life at Time magazine. Although some newspapers and magazines came to poach people during this period, Claydberg did not like those companies at all.

Although "Reader's Times" is only a newly established newspaper, with Lin Daoqiu's support, Claydberg believes that the future of this newspaper cannot be underestimated.

But it is obviously impossible for Claydberg to agree directly. After all, there are still many variables in it.

Although in terms of funding, Claydberg believes that with Lin Daoqiu's financial resources, it will not be difficult to run "Reader Times" well.

But the problem is that to run a newspaper, whether in North America or elsewhere in the world, you need strong people to support it. If you just have money, it is not enough.

Therefore, although Lin Daoqiu is very rich, Claydberg feels that he still lacks some necessary conditions, and these missing conditions are the key to truly allowing "Readers Times" to take off.
