American Fortune Life
Chapter 1285: Good Boss and Chain Reaction
“For a long time, most online news has been considered“ free lunch ”by the audience. Whether to build a" pay wall ”between the media and the audience has been an enduring topic for the global press.
However, from free to paid, the overall media audience will be reduced and website visits will drop to freezing point, so paid reading is not possible, like a comprehensive newspaper, the only way out is to make money in the form of free advertising. ”
Andy ripped off the check, said his opinion, and handed it to some excited Eliza.
Eliza took the check, she was in a very delicate mood. The original parent company was desperate to draw blood on the Herald and cut back on spending. The new boss invested $10 million without saying anything, so that the newspaper's overstretched funds were replenished. Really, it really matters more than anything to the boss!
“Boss, website fees are absolutely unattainable, and Miami as a whole, we are the biggest newspaper with almost no rivals, and once the fees are charged, the site's advertisers will be hit hard.
Rest assured, boss, with your investment, we can start next year's subscription offer in advance, stabilize old customers while adding new subscribers, and quickly bring subscriptions back to their original level. I am confident! ”
Andy looked at Alisa, confident, and nodded softly: "Then I'll see. I'm still saying that. I'm not going to take the paper's original ATM, I'm going to make a profit, and I'm not going to stink at the prize money. ”
Andy stood up and continued to Eliza, who stood up, "Come on, take me to the newspaper. ”
Leaving the conference room, Andy, with his assistant, introduced by Eliza, familiarized herself with the layout of the newspaper's departments, and when they came to the news editing room and just showed up at the door, hundreds of employees across the editing room stood up on the same terms and began to applaud the new boss.
Afraid that the redundancy will come again, unemployed, nervous mood after the editor-in-chief Anders Jillenhal will bring back good news, completely dissipated, one by one shouting ‘dawn', while starting to talk about all the new boss, of course, gossip is indispensable, although discussing the new boss's gossip is a bit suspicious of death.
So when someone saw the new boss walking toward the news editing room, he came back early to inform everyone, and this was the scene where the whole stand-up applause was welcome.
Andy had a brilliant smile on his face and pressed his hand until his applause fell, walked into the middle of the hall, turned around and looked for a week, then raised his voice: “South Florida's most influential newspaper... Agile, impartial and exciting, not only casts press and free speech state laws, but also shapes the Miami spirit without fear of power.
Well, now we're in some trouble... But it's nothing, because I'm here, and I'm here with a passion for newspapers, and I'm here with you to recreate the glory of The Miami Herald! ”
“Wow...”
The whole editorial room was like chicken blood, red-handed madness and applause, the most proud lawsuit in the newspaper to win the first set of amendments to the 1974 United States Constitution was filed by the new boss, and the pride and recognition of the new boss reached the top of the moment.
“Brilliant again! ”
“Brilliant again! ”
“Boss, welcome, my name is Bob and I am your fan and I am honored to work for you... ”
“Boss, my name is Nate... ”
“I'm John... ”
Andy was surrounded by enthusiastic employees, constantly introduced by people, reached out and shook Andy's hand, Andy also always smiled and nodded, reached out and shook everyone's hand to make everyone present feel the new boss's friendliness, not the kind of indifference and height filled with an insurmountable sense of distance.
It's melting, the atmosphere is warm, the newspapers are overwhelmed by the deal, and of course, these people should be thanking them for having gone through a major downsizing before, or else they will be facing a new boss in another state.
Well, Andy should also be thankful to McLarch Newspapers for being a bad guy one step ahead of the other so he can play a good boss!
Leaving the newspaper, Andy sat in the car with a smile on his face. Looking out the window at the newspaper building, he suddenly turned to his assistant and said, "What do you say I change the newspaper building to a casino hotel? ”
“Ah?”
Tory was asked a bit obsessively, his gaze was a bit silly, but he quickly reacted, his mouth twitched a few times, looking out the window at a rectangular building with an invincible sea view, and he laughed bitterly: “Florida's current laws seem to only allow small casinos to be run in native areas. If you want to build one, Miami needs to fix it first, and Disney will definitely jump out against it. ”
“Huh?!” Andy looked at the little assistant who told him to analyze it very unexpectedly and said, “Well, it's not easy, you can actually think of that, but it's a long way to go. ”
Tory couldn't help but blush and explain: “I watched the news a while back, as if Disneyland, because some First Nations casinos in Orlando destroyed the tourist image and demanded that the casino be banned, so I... ”
“Oh, so that's not easy, knowing you're stockpiling information, that's what assistants mean, keep trying.” Andy shook his head and laughed, but he wasn't stingy enough to give Tory some impetus to move forward.
Sure enough, hearing the praise of the Great Demon King, Tory's eyes smiled into the moon teeth, so happy, if there was a tail, it would definitely shake. The grudges of being driven to another room last night to sleep also dissipated.
Meanwhile, Andy Smith acquired South Florida for $260 million, and the news of Miami Herald, Miami's largest circulation in English, spread quickly.
Though Andy's news of acquiring the newspaper is no longer new, the deal was a resounding one, as well as a new path for other hard-won newspapers.
The newspaper crisis is spreading as a result of declining distribution volumes and a sharp fall in advertising revenues, and there is even a fear that the paper media will eventually disappear. At this time, Andy Smith, a young billionaire, went against the odds, and real gold and silver bought many pieces of paper, which made it difficult for many to understand.
And the media industry is all about it. It's only a matter of time before the new media king sits on the throne. Once he completes his acquisition of NBC Worldwide, he will become the new king, who will go hand in hand with the news group.
The acquisitions reached the news, but at the same time stimulated the tripartite, watching the reports differ and tangle.
On the one hand, General Electric, which plunged the M&A negotiations into a pull saw peel, looked better for a few days, another fell, down the stock price, they had a hard time saying, if the M&A agreement could be reached, the stock price would definitely stop bouncing back, but General Electric, really unwilling to let go of this cheap, Zhai Andy Smith, a fat sheep with a huge amount of cash, has a good chance.
But as Andy started the takeover, General Electric got a little nervous, and they were really afraid to piss off the millionaire and end the negotiations...
On the other hand, the board members of the Forum newspaper, who also received a letter of acquisition, now see the news of the acquisition, not to mention how frustrating it is.
Soon, however, they won't have to get depressed because the last trade union representative from the LA Times brought in an 'ultimatum' and had to come up with a solution to their pension liabilities by the end of the afternoon, and if the time passes and nothing turns out, the union will lead the newspaper staff, starting tomorrow, to strike!
