American Fortune Life

Chapter 89: The Pit Dead Andy

In the office, Andy tapped the keyboard on the notebook quickly, and the story of "Scarecrow Girl" had written more than a dozen chapters, and he wanted to write the story of the first season as soon as possible, so that even if he wasn't in New York, he wouldn't delay the serial.

In fact, as a newspaper that has been in operation for 20 years, the owner plays a small role in the newspaper, and there are very few places where he can get involved, and Andy has always believed that professional matters are left to professionals. He would never do that kind of outside leadership insider thing, and not only would he struggle not to like it, he would most likely throw it away.

As for the loss of the newspaper, Andy didn't care much, and before the takeover, he and Arthur Carter said they had a complete plan for the future that would get the newspaper out of the loss, not bragging.

But first, we need to invest in a backward online version of The New York Observer.

Andy had seen the online version of Observer, and it was almost like copying something from the paper media onto a website, which was ridiculous. Originally faced with cyber challenges, the "Observer" has always been harmonious, digging into the textual style of Xing, should be very easy to convert to an online version, rather than just simply copying and pasting, which cannot be said to have an important relationship with Arthur Carter himself, people don't want to make changes in old age, even stubbornly refuse to make changes, causing newspapers to enter the age of the network too slowly and soak up soup.

If you want to quickly stand on your heels in the age of the Internet, you can only sword away, future generations abhorrent “headline party”, provide more explosive xing news information, replace text coverage with pictures whenever possible, create various street access, street experiments stealthy special se video to set up the unique charm of the online version of "Observer" to attract more readers and advertising.

Well, these are just his own ideas, and as far as feasible xing is concerned, there needs to be a meeting with newspaper management to study and discuss them.

Drop...

Andy stopped typing and reached out and pressed his hand against the phone answering machine, which was flashing with a red light.

“Annie, can I help you? ”

“Boss, the editor-in-chief of Pete Kaplan wants to see you. ”

“Okay, let him in, and, uh, bring in two cups of coffee, please.” Turn off the transponder when you're done, shake your mouse and save the file. Annie, as Arthur Carter's secretary, has been diligent and human, and Arthur wants Andy not to fire her before she leaves.

Andy didn't have to change Annie's mind, he didn't think about recruiting another hot, good-looking secretary. After all, he wouldn't spend much time in the paper. Annie had been working for a long time in the secretary's position and was familiar with everything, so he didn't hesitate to answer Arthur Carter's request.

This made Annie, who thought she would be transferred to another position or fired directly, almost cry. After all, the boss' secretary was well paid and not tired of working. Annie, who was already the mother of two children, was afraid of losing her job.

Pitt Kaplan pushed the door in and looked a little anxious. Andy looked at him and smiled and asked, “What's the matter, Pete, look at your anxiety. Is there something big going on out there? ”

“Cough, boss, the biggest news in New York right now is how newspaper takeovers happen, the hallway outside the newspaper's office is crammed with reporters, all trying to interview you.” Pete Kaplan was not nearly choked to death, the hallway was filled, the newspaper staff would be surrounded by journalists for questioning, it really affected the work too much, there was no way, I could only come to see the boss, I hope he went out for interviews and let those journalists leave as soon as possible.

“Oh, I'm not going to be interviewed, not yet, and besides, these reporters don't have enough... Well, you go out and do the interview.” Andy smiled and saw that Pete Kaplan wanted to refuse, he continued: “That's it, I'm sure you can handle it. Guess you'll have to come back for more coffee, huh. ”

“I... Well, then." Pete Kaplan had no choice but to get up and leave Andy's office. "If you don't want to be interviewed, why are you releasing the takeover message yourself? Well, the reporters outside are really giving me a headache, and the questions aren't very easy to answer. Yeah, make sure you think about it, don't say the wrong thing, and let the boss remember... ”

Andy shook his head and laughed, knowing that he was a little upset about letting Pete stop the gun, but who let him be the boss, besides, he had already taken Dad's call to Auston, what made him helpless was that his father had already given him an interview, which was also the first interview he had ever had with a reporter since he crossed, and there was no way, the other side was a little big.

Even if they were famous, Andy could never give a shit about him, but he couldn't stand his father's betrayal. They all said that Heaven and Dynasty were a humane society, and that if we left the network, we wouldn't be able to do anything about it. The same is true in the United States. What do you mean, connections? As an old-fashioned political family, connections are naturally extensive, which need not be repeated. Likewise, it is also someone else's connections, where everyone benefits from each other and helps each other to form connections.

At first, when you hear each other's names, Andy's big, and Ma's, that's the standard pit son.

New York Times gold medal reporter Andrew Thorkin has always been famous for his direct questioning of Diamonds. In his interview, you don't have to think about having fun at all. He asks whatever embarrasses you. Digging black history is never soft. Directly pointing the door to him is a good play.

All the people he interviewed were very promising. Normally, politicians want to be interviewed by him, and he doesn't necessarily agree, except for a scandal. Well, it wasn't too late to hide from him.

Andy understands that he was also seen in a previous life at the Davos Forum, where he and Ma's dad had a fight. Daddy Ma's mouth is not blown. Naturally, the person who can cripple people will not crush him. The battle between you and my lips is amazing.

There is no way, Andrew Thorkin is also a Republican DANG, and he is an iron rod, and he has a good relationship with the Smith family. When he calls Auston, he promises his son without hesitation. Anyway, it's not him who's upset. He's running for Congress, but he can't be careless. The New York Times is 10,000 times stronger than The Observer.

What did you say, son's black history?

Andy's youth fame means that his education was very successful and he was a good father. As for black history... Andy was an adult by then, he could be held accountable for his actions and had nothing to do with his hair. Besides, who hasn't had an embarrassing past, the prodigal son should just turn back.

As for being scarred... Auston can only shrug his shoulders slightly. Ask for blessings. Men have to be tough on themselves! Isn't it?

Andy would definitely throw up blood if he knew what his bad dad was really thinking. Sighed, sipped coffee, and prepared to continue writing the novel.

Buzz...

The phone on the table kept shaking and Andy laughed so hard that he couldn't seem to write safely today.

When I saw it, I picked it up immediately and asked respectfully, "Grandpa, it's been a long time. How are you feeling? ”

“Ha ha, boy, you know it's been a long time? Why didn't you come and see me?” Old Smith's questioning like a cannonball embarrassed Andy very much, and luckily this embarrassment was soon dispersed by Old Smith's words of comfort.

“Well done, Andy! The slump of the previous few years had not made me sink, but had made me more mature, and I was relieved that I was a Smith child. Your father and I talked about your performance in the morning, which was amazing, amazing, and Arthur's stubborn old man was persuaded by you, which was unexpected... ”

To be praised by one's own loved ones, admitting that it was absolutely a joy, even if Andy had not met the congressman's grandfather today, he was happy, without modesty, "Thank you, I just did what I could, and ultimately touched him with a beautiful knife. ”

“Oh, you son of a bitch, Arthur doesn't need money... Well, I'm just calling to congratulate you, do it well. The Observer is a quality asset. Although it's just a regional newspaper, its influence and credibility are not available in many newspapers. Twenty years of consistent neutrality has been invaluable. Even The New York Times has a scandal of making fake news. Not to mention some other tabloids, run it well, and it will give you a lot of friendship and respect.” Old Smith leaned against the office boss's chair and smiled graciously.

“I see, Grandpa, you're saying so much, you don't want me to have the newspaper write soft language for Republican Dang in the future, do you?” Andy joked.

“Ha-ha-ha, motherfucker! No, at least not now. It's Manhattan! The celebrities of the Upper East Side value interests. Of course, public opinion influences a lot of things. Maintaining neutrality is what the Observer should do. As long as it does not touch mainstream values, its position will become more and more important. When soft writing is needed, the value and role it plays is enormous. Well, I know you hate politics, but this is the very foundation of our Smith family, and I won't force you into politics, but I can't stay away from it like your uncle did.” Old Smith smiled happily and shared his insights with Andy, thinking only of Andy's political exclusion and disappointment with his eldest son, he had to sigh.

“Forget it, old George called me yesterday and he admired your girlfriend, Ivana, for her elegance. I looked at her data, and she is indeed an excellent woman, excellent in appearance and learning, most importantly, no messy private life, very nurturing, although the family lacks a background, but it is not a problem, it is very suitable to be your wife... ”

Andy would have listened very carefully to Old Smith's teachings, but listen, the subject was about his wife, and Andy immediately said something to interrupt Grandpa's self-talk, “Grandpa, we're just in love, I'm only 21, and I'm not getting married so early... ”
