I am a nobleman in England
Chapter 389
When the high-speed train drove into the Southampton area, Arthur saw snowflakes mixed in the cold wind outside the car window, falling on the car window, the speed of melting, and slowly sliding down the car window, looking at the snow-covered scenery outside , Looked at the other passengers in the carriage again, thought of something, and shook his head dumbly.
Few people would dislike snow.Snow covers all the filthy and unbearable things that disturb the world, allowing the earth to enter the atmosphere of a fairy tale world.
Snow is not uncommon, but when it hits the UK, things become interesting.The British's inexplicable panic about heavy snow has always been a laughing stock of other countries.
You know, even if there is a war, the British will calmly say that death will not prevent us from moving forward!
But as long as there is heavy snowfall, all Britons will hide, all schools will be closed and buses will stop running, just like the end of the world.
No kidding, everything will stop running, even the train station will be closed, it's crazy!
Fortunately, Arthur's high-speed train has reached Southampton, otherwise he might get stuck on the road......
When the train arrived at the station, Arthur put on a coat and a top hat. Under the protection of the bodyguards, he got off the train and walked quickly outside the station.
Outside the station, the special car sent by "Southern Daily Echo" has been waiting for a long time. Seeing the boss walk out, the staff immediately greeted him and greeted respectfully.
After Arthur smiled and nodded, he quickly got into the car against the wind and snow, and soon the car started and drove to the newspaper office.
And Jerry Fuller, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, who is preparing to welcome the boss’s inspection, is a little nervous at this time. To be honest, the young Lord Earl has always dealt with the Southern Daily Echo except for the initial stage. After the rescue-style reform, the newspaper's operating conditions improved, no more attention was paid.
For such a long time, it was a routine to send a briefing to the Lord Earl every day, and then there was no more, the whole newspaper was like forgotten, and what made Jerry Fuller helpless was that Lord Earl was outrageous before Christmas. He paid out bonuses and benefits wildly, and according to his understanding, only their newspaper had the least bonuses and benefits...
Of course, didn’t he complain, after all, he knew his family affairs, and other companies and industries helped the Earl earn a very large profit. There is no problem with more points. Who told them that the newspaper would still be rescued even if it was rescued now. In a half-dead state, let alone making money, their biggest luxury now is not to lose money.
When the boss is able to give out welfare bonuses, he has already made them thank God. If there is no backbone, the newspaper office is really worried about the sudden attention of his boss, because it is likely to be another major layoff and reform. Start.
There is no way, to put it bluntly, who makes their newspapers unsatisfactory, it is already a deadly industry.
Therefore, after receiving a call from his young boss who returned to Southampton to inspect the newspaper, Jerry Fuller was undoubtedly very worried and complicated.
It was in this mood that Jerry Fuller ushered in the inspection of his boss Arthur Bolling.
Arthur, who walked into the newspaper office area, immediately felt a strange atmosphere. On the way, he greeted his newspaper employees. Although respectful, their expressions were a little stiff, and they could even see bitterness and helplessness and dodge in the eyes of the other party. .
"Jerry, what's the matter with everyone? What happened?" Arthur walked into the editor's office, looked at Jerry Fuller, who was also a little smirk, and asked with a slight frown.
"Ahem, it's nothing, everyone... Everyone, just worrying..." Jerry Fuller poured Arthur a cup of steaming black tea, and laughed awkwardly.
"What are you worried about? Hehe, just say anything if you have any words--" Arthur unceremoniously did it on the editor's boss chair, picked up the black tea cup, took a sip, and looked at Jerry, who was still standing opposite him. Fuller said.
"Ahem, I'm worried about whether you want to reform again this time..." Jerry was forced by Arthur's gaze, and he could only bite the bullet, cough slightly, and tell the truth.
"Haha..." Hearing this explanation, Arthur couldn't help laughing. He shook his head, raised his hand and pressed down, motioning Jerry to sit down.
After Jerry chuckled and sat down, Arthur stopped his laughter and said with a smile on his face: "You really didn't guess wrong. I'm here this time. I really have important things to explain. Reform, that’s right..."
"Huh?" Jerry, who had just sat down with a stagnant expression, exclaimed and stood up again, looking at the smiling boss, and said anxiously: "Boss, the newspaper office is already stretched out. If it is cut again, it will be true. It will affect daily operations..."
"Hehe, don't get excited, sit down, when did I say to lay off employees? Be patient, when I finish talking, it won't be too late for you to be excited!" Arthur did not care about Jerry's gaffe, smiled and stretched out his hand to signal to the other party Sit down.
When it heard that no layoffs were involved, Jerry Fuller took a long sigh of relief, and sat down again with a somewhat embarrassing smile. He stretched out his hand to pick up the red teapot and added some black tea to Arthur's red lip cup again. .
"Boss, I'm sorry, I'm a little gaffe. It's mainly because of our lack of strength. That's why we are worried all day long. To be honest, I am really worried that one day I will be ordered by your boss to close the newspaper. Hey, in the past. In 2015, too many local newspapers were closed. Is it true that the paper media will withdraw from the stage of history so miserably?"
The status of the paper media is declining, and even the transformation of the paper media, which has been hotly discussed, is silent in the face of this situation, like waiting for the tranquility before a storm, but it is quietly scary and quietly sighing. Endless.
The paper media that went out of business went one after another, but as a common fact, no one exclaimed anymore.
"The decline of paper media is a general trend that cannot be changed. This is the status quo that needs to be faced squarely. However, as for the complete demise of paper media, it would be too pessimistic.
If you want to survive this reality, you must first know the reason why the newspaper is in trouble.Why is the paper media that once squeezed its head and couldn't get in, but now it is bankrupted one after another and brain drained?"Arthur said with a relaxed smile while holding the black tea.
"Hehe, what can be the reason? The impact of the Internet, the rise of new media, the change of reading habits... Too many, it is not that we are pessimistic, we really can not see the future, really, boss, every time I hear When a familiar newspaper ceased publication or went bankrupt, I would have a nightmare that night. I dreamt that I was crying while holding my belongings and walking out of the newspaper's picture... Oh my God, that was definitely a disaster!"
Jerry Fuller's eyes were a little red. It seemed that he was really suffering. It was mainly due to the fact that there were too many bad news in the paper media during this period. There were too many lessons learned from the past, and it was inevitable that he would be suspicious and frightened.
"Haha, don't worry about this. I won't close the newspaper. You can work with peace of mind. You don't need to be suspicious all day. Just say it more bluntly. Even if you are raising a newspaper, for me, There are not many small things that are happy or unhappy!" Arthur raised his eyebrows and smiled, put down the black tea cup, and said lightly, confidently pretending to be thirteen.
