Chapter 503: Make a little news

"What is the approximate price of your newspaper to accept the acquisition?"

Rorschach's approach to negotiation was, as always, unacceptably straightforward.

But at least in terms of efficiency and action, Rorschach's approach is very helpful.

An idea, spoken, put into action, maybe others have to think about the "big thing" for half a month, and Rorschach can do it in one morning.

"Can you give an answer?"

It was only a temporary idea for Rorschach, but his brilliant over-the-top action quickly turned the idea into a reality.

It's okay if the reporter at the newspaper on the other side can't make up his mind? It's okay, I'll just wait here and contact someone who can come up with an idea.

It doesn't matter if the boss isn't there, remote contact is fine, and it's not news to talk about buying and selling e-commerce for a long time.

The boss thinks this newspaper is good, but the lion opens his mouth to bid too high?

"Oh, the newspaper that has changed five bosses in six years, and its sales have fallen by 37% compared to six years ago, has long been in negative operation, and you tell me that this is a benign asset? This is all the bright news that can be found on the official website, the latest assessment of the financial report has fallen by 27%, and the longer it drags on, the more you lose, do you still plan to lose until next year's settlement period?"

In less than twenty minutes, Rorschach directly won the newspaper through remote negotiations, and it was like going out with a cabbage.

On the one hand, it is Rorschach's action, and on the other hand, this boss also lacks trust in this bad asset and has long wanted to find an opportunity to make a move.

As Rorschach said, a small company that changes its boss every year, if there is no problem, it is hell.

Originally, Rorschach thought that he wanted to use the reserves, but he didn't expect to take a fraction of the lab's expenses.

Rorschach didn't spend much money to take it, because after actually entering the negotiations, Rorschach knew that the situation of the newspaper was even worse than expected, and it had already entered the point of insolvency.

What Rorschach really paid was probably the debt borne by the newspaper..... This is simply a negative equity.

After promising to take on all the debts, the very happy newspaper owner gave a very, very low offer on the other side, a symbolic offer, for fear that Rorschach, the unjust head, would be scared away by the debt.

“...... Actually, our business has improved, and recently my column with another reporter, Carl, has been very well received, and this month we have 12% more advertising revenue than last month......"

Probably because this kind of scene like a fire sale of rotten oranges is really ugly, and Traff, who has worked for the newspaper for several years, still wants to defend his company.

But this defense only became more and more weak in Rorschach's eyes.

Does a newspaper not talk about sales and advertising costs? I can only say that sales are declining as always.

This is a typical second-rate tabloid that maintains the survival of a second-rate tabloid, with paparazzi, blackmailing celebrities, chasing lace news, reprinting (plagiarizing) other people's reports, or at most changing the name to translate it from Chinese to Chinese....... Anyway, the big newspapers don't have the time or energy to pursue these "imitators", after all, there are too many second- and third-rate newspapers, and they are too marginal, and the word game alone can toss you for months.

But everyone knows that this is not the right way, without first-hand news and an excellent group of reporters, a newspaper cannot get up by relying on borrowed news and guessed lace news, but it must get first-hand news...... Just like the original game church in New Tonya City, what supports it is the strength of the church as a whole and a group of masters like Rorschach.

Rorschach and the Advent of the Game Church can go anywhere, including the no-man's land of the wasteland full of thunderstorms, and naturally there is news that the people in the city are curious about but cannot know.

But Rorschach bought this newspaper, but he didn't want to work as hard as "Absolutely True", and he had to run the news himself, he didn't have the time or the energy...... In fact, even Rorschach ran by himself, and the dangerous wilderness and the city that relied on connections were completely two different concepts, and even Rorschach had no ability to bring this newspaper back to life.

Fortunately, he didn't need a well-known newspaper, and he couldn't afford to keep it at all, he just wanted to do something with this second-rate newspaper.

"I'm busy, so I don't have time to manage a newspaper, congratulations to Traff, you've been promoted, how does it feel to promote executive vice president in the line of fire?"

Rorschach laughed and said something that shocked everyone.

“...... To be honest, the mood is quite complicated, in fact, it is a mess, and I have to bear the livelihood of more than 20 people, I don't really want to take ......"

Although he said this, what Rorschach saw in Traff's eyes was all ambition.

It's a good thing to be ambitious, and it's hard to work hard if you're ambitious.

The smiling Rorschach shrugged his shoulders, he was originally a random stroke, and he didn't care much about the results later, anyway, his goal was not high.

"Don't change your business model for the time being, but from the next issue onwards, give me four sections at a time, and the content I give will be mainly based on Ansolen's materials and information, and also publish some exploration logs of the Adventists and other things. Well, it's the hottest twin land right now. ”

This was Rorschach's purpose, to take down a newspaper office and use it to promote the knowledge and information about Ansolen.

No matter how confidential the news is, the more people know, sooner or later it will become a "secret" that everyone knows, and the news that the Mage Nation is preparing to explore Ansolene on a large scale will sooner or later become known to passers-by.

And if there is demand, there will naturally be a market, and if there is no demand, there will be no market.

The Mage Country had no interest in Ansolene before, so naturally there were no relevant media reports, and it was impossible to be like Thor who was bombarded with information by countless media twenty-four hours a day, as if Ansolene was by his side.

Rorschach learned about it, there was very little news about Ansolene in the Mage Country before, only scholars who specialized in research would take the initiative to learn about this, and most of the local residents and native mages were interested in a distant otherworld, and it was better to have breakfast today.

Predictably, the demand for this will increase dramatically, as the local inhabitants will take the initiative to learn about the possible Second Dawn War of the Brothers, and the young mages who may be chosen to go to Ansolenne in person will do whatever it takes to gather any news and intel from Anthoreen, and their lives are at stake.

Again, if there is demand, there will naturally be a market, and new demand will naturally promote the birth of new markets and products.

In a short period of time, probably no one would have noticed this aspect, and if it weren't for the fact that Rorschach not only knew about the internal movements of the Mage Nation from additional channels, but also had the dual identity of an advent and a media person, he would not have been so sensitive to this future market demand.

His idea is very simple, as long as he keeps promoting the news of Ansolen, there will naturally be people who need to come to the door, word of mouth, and there are more people who watch it, so he will naturally become an authority.

And the media is a thing that is supposed to win with speed, and it is useless to catch up after taking the lead.

Rorschach didn't think the other mainstream media would react so quickly, and even if they did, they might not have the courage to devote more than half of the page to "irrelevant popular science".

As for their own media...... Anyway, it's already half-dead, and if it fails, it will fail, and the loss is not big, if it succeeds, it is possible to create a miracle and seize the opportunity to take a good leap, although Rorschach himself thinks that the probability is too low.

After all, this is not the information-blocked Isoraine, and the competition in Ash Media has reached a very fierce level, and anything is possible.

But in fact, Rorschach doesn't care, he doesn't seem to have nothing to do to get a newspaper, even if he has an occupational disease, there is no need to make trouble for himself, and he will increase his income a lot.

"There are many ways to express sincerity, and I hope those archmages are not stupid enough not to see my kindness. ”

In a way, Rorschach is doing good work.

He is widely publicizing the situation of Ansolein, increasing the public's awareness and curiosity about it, and also providing exploration experience for those newcomers, so that those newcomers can prepare early and do a little more targeted training.

Even those archmages have a stable and reliable channel to learn about Anthoreen, attracting more mages to participate in this development plan.

This is a very troublesome, hard-working, and hard-working thing that must be done without much income, and it is really correct to describe it as a "public welfare".

Rorschach was asked to come back and wait for news, but it was too passive to really wait purely for him.

Now that you have recommended yourself, then, let's find some more opportunities to show yourself, a little more chance of achievement is a point, failure is nothing, just a loss of money and time, for the current Rorschach is nothing.

And these reports are all precious first-hand news of Ansolen, and they will also let the bigwigs know more about Ansolen's situation.

Learn about the harsh and dangerous living conditions, the terrible mortality rate of the newcomers, and how professional Rorschach and the Church of Play were, and how difficult it was to get to this point.

"Professionals do professional things, I am the most professional, don't choose who I choose. ”

Rorschach reiterates this sentence with action, competing for his own chances of being elected, and if he is lucky, he can get a slightly more influential media outlet.

This is just a casual thing, and I don't have much expectation if I succeed or not, and I can be regarded as doing my best.

Rorschach also doesn't plan to explain anything to his "executive vice president."

He's the boss, he says orders, and the other side just does it.

Rorschach's next sentence made Traff stand up in surprise, and even wondered if the new boss wanted to kill the newspaper.

"By the way, in order to attract readers, the latest issue will publish your harvest today. Well, don't miss any of those archmages' embarrassing appearances, and all of them will be photographed for me. ”
