Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

"I heard that Readers Times has contacted your newspaper. Can you tell me how much they are offering?"

"Don't be ridiculous, this kind of thing is just based on rumors. At least I have never heard of such a thing."

The editor-in-chief who was questioned shook his head vigorously, but his eyes were a little wandering, and it seemed that he was not telling the truth.

The senior executives of several medium-sized newspapers gathered together to drink and chat. Some well-informed people already knew that Lin Daoqiu was acquiring some medium-sized newspapers and magazines, and the newspapers and magazines they worked for were Lin Daoqiu.

Qiu’s target for this acquisition.

“Is it really good to join Readers Times?”

At this moment, an editor-in-chief suddenly asked this strange question, but in fact, no newspaper or magazine present had reached any agreement with "Readers Times". In today's gathering, everyone was actually testing each other to see if there was any

No one could afford Lin Daoqiu's price and planned to sell the newspaper to Lin Daoqiu.

"Nowadays, the newspaper industry is becoming more and more difficult to do. There are five major newspaper companies that are pressing down on us. We, medium-sized newspapers, can only follow them and eat some leftovers. Moreover, the sales volume has not increased in recent times. I

We have already planned to suggest that we should focus on gossip news."

"Who says it isn't? If it can catch the taste of readers, that would be fine, but everyone's reports tend to be conservative regardless of form and style, and it is indeed difficult to attract new readers."

The problems encountered by these newspapers are almost the same, and they are all more inadequate than inferior. However, this surplus was still possible in the past, and at least it was able to maintain their normal operations.

But now the number of readers is decreasing instead of increasing, and many of these newspapers have encountered such problems, so this margin will naturally begin to decrease, which will affect the operations of newspapers and magazines.

However, at this time, Lin Daoqiu extended an olive branch. Whether those newspaper owners want to make a fortune and leave, or continue to persevere, is probably unknown.

Although these editors-in-chief can determine the direction of a newspaper's operations, when it comes to newspaper business transactions, they can only provide some suggestions at most, and they are never the ones who can really make the final decision.

"Perhaps this is an opportunity, maybe, an opportunity to become the sixth largest newspaper."

At this moment, an editor-in-chief suddenly said something that surprised everyone present.

The opportunity to become the sixth largest newspaper? This was something that would have been unthinkable in the past. After all, the five major newspapers have resources and backgrounds that they dare not imagine and will never be able to match. If they can maintain their normal operations, then

This is already a very remarkable thing. It is simply a dream to reach the level of one of the five major newspapers.

But now this possibility suddenly appears. Things that could only be imagined in private before may suddenly become a reality. How can this not be exciting?

"Are you drunk? I don't think it is possible for "Readers Times" to become the sixth largest newspaper in Neon. After all, those five have already joined forces to deal with "Readers Times". I am not optimistic about "Readers Times".

In the future, I even think that this newspaper will voluntarily admit defeat and withdraw from Neon soon."

People outside the industry may not know it, but people in the industry know very well how important the five major newspapers are in Neon's newspaper industry. Neither the resources nor the background behind them can be matched by others.

Even if Lin Daoqiu can defeat them in business, as long as they really have a crisis, the bosses of these newspapers can always find someone to help them resolve these troubles. No matter how rich Lin Daoqiu is, this place is a neon place.

Hong, this truth will never go out of style.

"Who says it's not, but these are not things we need to consider. After all, whether the newspaper is sold has nothing to do with us editors. If the president decides to sell it, are you going to resign? Or join "

Readers Times, let’s work together?”

Regarding this issue, other people at the scene suddenly became silent because everyone had different ideas.

After all, given their abilities, being the editor-in-chief of a medium-sized newspaper is actually a very lucky thing. Once they leave this newspaper, there are not many opportunities for them to choose from.

Unless the five major newspapers take the initiative to poach them, if they apply for positions at the five major newspapers themselves, I believe they can only get general management positions at most, and neither their status nor their salary can be compared with what they are now.

"I think it's better not to waste your time talking about these frivolous things. Let's have a few more drinks."

This issue seems to be a bit sensitive, and it seems that because everyone does not want to reveal their true thoughts, the topic about "Readers Times" is stopped here.

After the banquet ended, one of the editors of Newsday, Heifuku Kondo, said goodbye to the others and got into a taxi.

However, his destination was not to go home, but to go to a coffee shop, because there was a person waiting for him there.

After getting off the car and entering the cafe, Kondo Heifuku took a quick look around, and soon he saw a middle-aged man sitting in the corner of the cafe. Kondo Heifuku immediately stepped forward.

"It looks like you drank a lot of wine. Everyone at this banquet must be very happy, right?"

After Kondo Heifuku sat down, the other party joked.

"They are just enjoying themselves. The business of newspaper companies is so difficult now. I think some of them are almost unable to support themselves. Some of them are even showing signs of losing money."

"Newsday" is still doing well, at least for now, sales and revenue are still profitable, but as editor-in-chief Heifuku Kondo knows very well that these good days may be short-lived.

So when "Readers Times" came to visit, Kondo Heifuku's first reaction was to suggest that the president of this newspaper contact the other party as soon as possible, and then sell the newspaper to "Readers Times" at a good price, and he planned to go

Readers Times continues to grow.

"What's everyone's attitude?"

"It's hard to say. After all, they said they don't want to join "Readers Times" and they don't recommend selling the newspaper. But I don't know what these people think in their hearts, but..."

"I feel that a few newspaper companies are actually interested, but since you are still in the contact stage with them, they probably won't let go easily, probably to get a better price."

Kondo Heifuku's judgment is very reasonable. Everyone is thinking that it can make the newspaper sell more money. After all, this is also good for them.
