I am a nobleman in England
Chapter 371 Doing business, being a boss is easy, but being a boss is difficult!
As the saying goes, those who win people win the world, especially in the era of rapid development of knowledge economy.
Traditional energy, materials, land and other resources are no longer the backbone of enterprise development and progress. Correspondingly, human resources are getting more and more attention. At the same time, core talents are definitely the key element to improve the competitiveness of enterprises!
In this era, talents are the most important resource for enterprises. To become stronger and bigger, enterprises must attach importance to talents.In ancient and modern times, whether running a country or a business, no matter what business you do, talents are the guarantee of success.Of course, the talent mentioned here refers to the team rather than the individual.
To be honest, only when you become a boss can you know how important your talent is!
"OMG! Why didn't you call me earlier..."
The next day, Aimo, who awakened from his sleep, raised the corners of his mouth slightly and stretched out comfortably. Aimo, who was still satisfied with not having such a high-quality sleep for a long time, subconsciously glanced at the wall. The clock immediately exclaimed.
Arthur, who walked out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe, shrugged and smiled at her: "Seeing that you sleep so soundly, I really can't bear to wake you up. Besides, let's be late. You work too hard. When I saw you yesterday, dark circles were enough to show that you didn't get enough rest at all during this time!"
"I also want to take a good rest, but now I have five cases to deal with. I had to look at the information last night, damn it... It's all to you!" Aymo took the nightgown and put it on, hands skilled. Gathered her curly hair, tied it into a ponytail, and ran all the way to the bathroom.
Arthur stepped aside and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's too late. Even if you accelerate now, you won't be in a hurry anymore."
"I'm really going crazy, I still have a court to go out in the morning, my goodness..."
"Don't worry, I have already prepared the breakfast. After you have eaten it, you can go directly to work by helicopter, which can save a lot of time." Seeing Aymo was really anxious, Arthur Not joking, leaning on the door frame, smiling and comforting.
Hearing this, Aimo, who was a little flustered, gave Arthur a white look at her anger. She looked at the mirror with a red face, her complexion improved, and she was completely gone from the previous dullness and fatigue. I have to say, this time. , Because of factors such as busy work, exhaustion, staying up late and pressure, her complexion became very bad.
Sure enough, women still have love!
"Okay, don't eat anymore, I really have to go one step ahead and call..."
After a bit of breakfast, Aimo, who had changed into a black OL suit to highlight his capable temperament, got up and came to Arthur's side, leaned over his cheek and qin, and then picked it up on the living room sofa. His briefcase, walked out quickly.
"Slow down, don't worry, I wish you success in your work!"
Arthur hurriedly followed and shouted, while Aimo took out his sunglasses and put it on, raised his hand and waved without turning his head, opened the door and hurried to the elevator.
Falling in love with a strong woman in the workplace is like this. For a strong woman, work is the first thing. You can't expect too much from time to time. Especially because of her du-li, rational and strong personality, it is not easy for ordinary men to control. .
But for Arthur, the beauty, wisdom, connotation and taste of this legal lady is undoubtedly the most satisfying trophy!
"Next, I am going to set up a media company, acquire no more than 50 regional xing newspapers, build a media network, and create a regional xing news platform!"
In the first advisory group meeting after returning to London, Arthur directly threw out his acquisition plan after listening to the work report during this period, which caused consternation and uproar among all the people present including the chief investment consultant Angela. .When the whole world is talking about when newspapers will die, Arthur's move undoubtedly surprised everyone.
"Boss, this is not a good idea!" Angela was not used to the boss Arthur this time, her pretty face was full of seriousness and dignity, and she conscientiously expressed her objections directly.
"Since the onset of the international financial crisis in 2008, 70% of local newspapers in the UK have faced bankruptcy and have gone bankrupt. More than 80 newspapers have laid off their employees and "slim down". The newspaper industry has almost become synonymous with salary cuts and layoffs. .
The Guardian Media Group also used its local newspapers to lay off hundreds of employees in the face of a 85 percent decline in profits in the most recent fiscal year.News Discovery Group closed 11 local newspapers in the past Christmas of 2009, and at the same time adopted methods such as salary cuts, wage freezes and unpaid leave for employees.
Many professional organizations predict that in the next five years, one-third or even one-half of the local newspapers in the UK will die. Another related prediction is that in the next five years, there will be 20,000 local newspapers in the UK. A job will lose half!
The reason why I pay attention to these data and information is because I want to remind your boss that I hope you sell the regional newspaper under your banner or close it directly, because it will become a negative equity in your assets.
I don't understand why you suddenly thought of buying regional Xing newspapers, and you also want to buy no less than 50 newspapers. I can't understand this!"
Seeing that everyone in the advisory group in the conference room nodded their heads to agree with Angela’s point of view, and whispered to each other, Arthur cast his eyes on Angela with a serious face and smiled: "Angela, don’t rush to deny my plan. I know what you said, but I also have my own considerations. My strategy for investing in the newspaper industry this time is to acquire small newspapers that cover the local readership, and I have no intention of investing in major urban media..."
As Arthur spoke, the discussion in the meeting room disappeared. Everyone turned their attention to the young boss, wanting to hear the reason for this young boss to invest against the trend of the times.
Although Arthur can ignore the opposition of the advisory team and let them do the work for himself, but after all, it is inferior. If a team cannot unite and cooperate, it will do things with doubts and dissatisfaction. Doing more with half the effort, but failing more, planted the seeds for the team's collapse.
To be honest, it is difficult to be a boss, especially to be a successful boss. It is even more difficult. Although sometimes you can be a xing, but it depends on when, now is not the time when he can be a xing.
"First of all, in my opinion, the xing newspapers in these regions focus on providing local and community-based information in each region. They are valuable. Although the newspaper industry is declining, community newspapers are still valuable.
As you can see, community information is difficult to see online. It is also different from large national ri newspapers, competing newspapers in big cities, and regional xing newspapers. It is the only link between the entire community and serves the community. The readers are close.
If it were you, would you stop in the middle of reading a story about yourself or your neighbor?
Hehe, no, I won't, anyway, so as a business, the target audience of community newspapers is relatively accurate, and advertisers will be happy to put it.As an investment object, its market price is lower than its value. As you said before, 70% of regional newspapers are facing bankruptcy, or even bankruptcy. If you want to buy it, you can’t spend a few dollars. But it is worth long-term possession."
Arthur's words made the people who had frowned, slightly stretched their solemn expressions, all of them were thinking about it, it seems that Arthur's reasons have slightly loosened their previous opposition.
"In some small and medium-sized cities and communities, people have a strong sense of belonging to the community. No institution is more important than a localized newspaper.
The newspapers we want to acquire all serve the local areas where they are located. These regions have firmly formed this model.What I need is to obtain the highest voice in local affairs through these newspapers!"
Arthur Tu directly stated his purpose when he saw it, and when he heard everyone here, his eyes lit up, and the frowning Angela's pretty face also appeared in a daze.
"... The circulation of newspapers may decline, but the fatal injury is that a newspaper loses an important source of information in the local area or the market loses recognition of its status.
Moreover, I believe that the Internet is not insulated from newspapers, and community newspapers have their own evolutionary process.I know very well that the digital trend is irreversible, and the media channels for delivering information will change.
I can even say with certainty that the newspapers in the future will take off their papers and become online news services.
But the nature of the business will not change. Use good content to serve the community and attract advertisers.Strive for exclusive provision of good content, this is unchanged, and it has nothing to do with changes in the delivery service channels.Once we integrate all the local xing newspapers we have acquired and find a good digital profit model, it can be quickly promoted to all of our local xing newspapers.
Therefore, in my opinion, the local xing newspaper is an asset and a business.Assets are valuable, but prices become lower, and they can even become the only local service provider to reduce excessive competition.
We think that media can no longer be analyzed simply by using unified concepts such as traditional media and new media.It is to use a business vision, not just the form of the medium."
