Chapter 807: Behind the Rise in Sales
Early this week, Boss Xie went to other provinces for half a month, and came back to work at the newspaper office after a night's rest.
He set up a new newspaper in Lukang, which was small in scale but had good benefits. Newspapers will publish some eye-catching social news, as well as some anecdotes and hunting stories, and advertising is indispensable, mainly pointing to these advertisements for money.
Such newspapers are placed on newsstands or newsstands, and there are still many citizens who are willing to pay for them to buy them as a pastime to pass the time.
Looking at the gradually increasing newspaper sales, Boss Xie felt that even if the hair on his head became thinner and thinner, it was not a big trouble.
After arriving at the newspaper, he had to see how the recent sales were, hoping to surprise him, the sales were larger, and when talking about advertising costs, he naturally had more advantages in price, and it was all money.
"Thank you for all good. The newspaper employees he met along the way greeted him from time to time. He smiled all the way and performed the approachability and affinity very well.
According to the requirements of his wife at home, the role of secretary or assistant is not allowed to be a lady. He felt that his wife had good luck, so he listened to her words and only found a young man in his twenties, Xiao Jia, as a part-time assistant.
Their newspaper is small, there are so many people in total, and there is no need to hire a person to be an assistant, so Xiao Jia also has to take charge of the company's outreach work. Seeing that he was finally back, Xiao Jia came to him as soon as possible.
"I haven't been at home for half a month, how is the society, everything is okay?" Xiao Jia understands his temper and character, and he doesn't need to say that he will show him the report as soon as he comes back from going out.
Xiao Jia didn't directly answer whether it was good or bad, but showed him the latest sales statistics. Boss Xie took a glance and found that the sales of the newspaper had increased significantly in recent issues. Especially the one the day before yesterday, it sold very well.
Could it be that the Liu reporter he poached played a role? Otherwise, how could the newspaper's newspaper sales have increased markedly in just one month after he arrived? In this case, it is worthwhile for him to dig up the Liu reporter from the Lukang Business Daily.
Boss Xie was happy, and the expression on his face was quite relaxed. Assistant Xiao Jia saw that he was in good spirits, but he didn't know what to say later.
Xiao Jia hesitated, the phone on Boss Xie's desk rang, and when he answered the phone, it was the manager of the unit who published the heightened shoes and heightened insoles in their newspaper.
He was in a better mood, leaning back on the soft chair, feeling a little as beautiful as the weather outside, and the feeling of high spirits was really wonderful, and he estimated that the other party saw that their newspaper sales were getting better and better, and came to talk to him about continuing to cooperate. The company's advertisement was due next month, and he thought about what kind of price he should give if the other party proposed to renew the advertisement.
The price increase is certain, and the situation of the newspaper is not what it used to be. It's like the previous price, it's really the price of cabbage.
However, the manager's unhappy tone quickly pulled him back to reality from his chaotic thoughts: "Boss Xie, what's going on with your newspaper?
The tone is not too rushed, but the meaning of complaining is obvious. Boss Xie was surprised, didn't the sales of their newspaper increase rapidly? Where did they provoke that manager? But at present, the most important thing is to stabilize the other party first, and then check what happened in the half month that he was away?
"Manager Wang, don't worry, dissipate your anger. Didn't I go on a trip with the old and young people in my family? I went out for half a month before I came back. Wait a minute, I'll understand the situation, and if there is a problem, let's find a way to solve it. ”
Manager Wang didn't have any idea of having trouble with him, and when he heard that he was not there, he thought that he might not know about the newspaper, and if he dealt with it in time, he might be able to deal with it. He told Boss Xie: "Look at the headlines of the second page of the last two issues of your newspaper, why don't you know about the other party's situation when you publish such news? If you don't know, you'll have to find out who is responsible for this. ”
After Boss Xie hung up the phone, he pushed aside the report he had just read, his happy mood just now had faded, and he raised his eyes and asked Xiao Jia: "I'm not here these days, is there anything going on with the newspaper?" Show me the last two issues of the newspaper. ”
"Mr. Xie, I was just about to tell you about this. Xiao Jia was still hesitating about what to say about this matter so as not to affect the boss's mood. The answer is that he can't do it, and the impact is certain, but with the phone call just now, Boss Xie will pay more attention to the incident itself, and will not have resentment towards him, the person who reported bad news.
He took out the newspaper he had prepared a long time ago, flipped to the second page that Manager Wang of the height-increasing company had said, and pointed out the position of the headline to their boss.
After Boss Xie finished reading these two reports, the spirit just now completely disappeared. He is a native of Lukang, and a large number of relatives and friends in his family are local, so he definitely knows a lot about Lukang.
"Who is the master of this news?" Boss Xie naturally wanted to find the person responsible, he wanted to ask what that person thought? Is this trying to ruin his old Xie?
"Boss, didn't you say before you left that reporter Liu was in charge of censoring the content of the newspaper? I don't understand why he did this? It stands to reason that he has a lot of experience in the newspaper industry, so is there a purpose for us not to know about it?"
"Go and call him, and I'll ask him. "If the most recent issue had just started to go on sale that morning, he would have spent as much money as he could to find someone to buy as many of the newspapers as he could, even if he had spent money on the newsstand and not much had been sold.
But now it's too late, and now I have to call Reporter Liu to ask about the situation first, and then figure out what to do. Reporter Liu was poached from Lukang Business Daily three months ago with the promise of a high salary. Since he joined the newspaper, he has indeed dug up some news. And this kid does have a way to attract people's attention, although the content of the social news edition often exaggerates and distorts the facts, but it can't stand up to increase sales. If it's stable, who will buy it?
Because of Reporter Liu's outstanding performance, he gave him the permission to self-censor before going out, but he didn't expect that in such a short period of time, Reporter Liu would make such a big mess for him. Knowing this, he let the stable people in the society be responsible, isn't this a cheat?
When Xiao Jia heard this, he immediately went out to find Reporter Liu, but after he arrived at Reporter Liu's office, he couldn't open the door, and he still couldn't unscrew the door handle. Knock on the door slightly, but there is no movement inside. I knocked it twice again, and it still didn't respond, so it should be gone.
