Chapter 208 Digitization of Paper Media

For newspaper managers, the bottom line principle can be the country, it can be the nation, it can be the race.

But if circulation can increase explosively in the short term, it is simply inconceivable how much newspaper sales will increase and how much advertising revenue will increase. In the face of such huge interests, the previous style of habitual nonsense in the face of the Celestial Empire can be achieved by restraining it. Why not.

What's more, the person in front of him, the style of treating his subordinates well, Sam's people are well known, and when the benefits seem to be exploding, how much more green Franklin will fall into his hands?

In the face of interests, all principles are insignificant and not worth mentioning. This is the typical Sam's Country-like style. This is true for the people, and so is for the country.

Of course, if it can be landed and printed in the Celestial Empire. Think about it, with a population of more than 100 million, even one percent of the people who buy their newspapers, the sales will far exceed that of Sam's Country many times.

For the sake of such a circulation, even if they let them, the executives of the newspaper industry, kneel and lick the Celestial Empire, they are very willing.

What's more, it's just censoring some sensitive information.

Looking at these guys in the conference room, their faces were flushed, their breathing was short, and their eyes showed an extremely excited gaze.

Zhang Yi shook his head imperceptibly, and motioned to Lulana next to him, open the window of the conference room, and let the cold wind blow in to cool down these guys, otherwise, he was afraid that someone would have some problems because they were too excited.

"Okay, guys, I think everyone should have no opinion on the issue of newspaper censorship!"

At this time, not a single person spoke out against it.

Just kidding, such a huge market, if you open your arms to them today, all the problems are not a problem, it is nothing more than that you can't slander the Celestial Empire at will, this condition is really too generous, okay.

"Looks like everyone is on the same page, right?"

"Now, let's move on to the next topic. That is the digitization of paper media. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and the young boss brought them more and more surprises, and they really didn't understand what this so-called electronicization meant.

Looking at everyone's unexplained gaze, Zhang Yi sighed in his heart, don't look at the paper media now and rely on advertising to live a very nourishing life, but they would not have thought that in less than ten years, the increasingly developed mobile Internet will completely bury all the paper media.

Now for $100 million to buy Sam's Nation today, I'm afraid that in ten years, no one will ask for a dollar for this newspaper.

The future is cruel, and some outdated industries will soon be thrown into the dustbin of history.

Restrained his emotion, Zhang Yi continued, "My company, that is, micro hardware and software, will launch an electronic screen, this product, integrated with the electronic version of our Sam's Country newspaper today.

Free to users who have been reading our newspaper for three years. ”

"This electronic screen, I named it a tablet!"

The CEO stood up suddenly, looked around hesitantly, and immediately sat back down.

He understands that the young boss is from the Celestial Empire, and he attaches great importance to etiquette, and the straightforward habits of some Sam's people must be changed, otherwise, it will be easy to offend the new boss.

Zhang Yi smiled and said slowly, "Mr. Ferguson, if you have any questions, please speak up!"

"Boss, will the cost of this tablet you said be too high, and if it is given away for free, will it increase the economic burden of our newspaper industry?"

"The cost is about $200, and it may be a little lower as the production volume gets bigger!"

Such an expensive price made the dispute in the conference room louder.

The price of a newspaper for a year is not expensive, far less than the price of a tablet, and it would be too cost-effective if you send an expensive tablet.

However, they have already seen the methods of the young boss, and although they have doubts in their hearts, no one has questioned them.

For their changes, Zhang Yi was extremely satisfied.

"In terms of cost, a three-year newspaper subscription will definitely not be able to afford the cost of a tablet. However, I am going to implement another advertising system in the electronic edition of Sam's Nation Today. Think about it, an e-newspaper, we can push as many ads as we want. It's not like paper media, which is printed in a newspaper and can't be changed. The advertising capacity of an e-newspaper can be said to be almost unlimited. ”

Everyone was intoxicated by the sea of advertisements depicted by the boss, compared to the print media, the tablet can push unlimited advertising capacity, what a gold mine it should be! In comparison, the cost of a tablet is too cheap.

In fact, Zhang Yi's goal is far more than that, and his ambition is very big.

Accumulating users for the micro-hardware mall, collecting users' preferences, forming big data, using supercomputing to complete the eyeball occupation of Sam's country, and launching the Sam's country version of the micro-hardware mall, this is his main purpose.

The acquisition of today's Sam's Nation newspaper is just a tentacle of his hand reaching out to ordinary Sam's Nation families.

Looking at the young boss sitting on the main seat, everyone attending the meeting was in a trance for a while.

A young man, taking one step at a time and looking at ten steps, is impeccable in both tactics and strategy. Think about what he was doing when he was in his 20s! In comparison, everyone here is more than enough to be his grandfather in terms of age.

In fact, last year, that is, in 2000, Microsoft had already launched DosxTablec, which is similar to the concept of tablet, but it is very different from the current IAD.

"I've almost said that, and I'll say one last thing, I'm quite satisfied with the development of the previous newspaper. So, I decided, all

The salary of individual employees will be raised by 10, and the salary of management will be raised by 20, which will be officially implemented from next month!"

The management all stood up and applauded vigorously, and in this era of economic downturn, it is all too rare for companies to not only not lay off employees, but also raise salaries against the trend.

Pressing down his hands, the drum noise stopped instantly, a bit of a ban.

"Do you have any questions? If not, then please. If the newspaper is good, your income will also be increased, and everyone should have a sense of ownership. The newspaper is mine and yours, but in the end it is yours. ”

With that, he waved his hand at everyone and turned to leave.

Back in the office, just after sitting down, Lulana knocked on the door and walked in.

"Mr. Zhang, several treasure island manufacturers you have selected have submitted the design plan of the tablet!"

"Oh, is it so fast? Let me see how these designs are!"

I took the plan and looked through it carefully.

Three programs, three companies, but also the most advanced three enterprises in Baodao electronic manufacturing.

ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, which is also the world's largest board manufacturer, computer motherboards and graphics card design and manufacturing capabilities are second to none in the world.
