"Bang bang bang. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info. ”

With a smile on his face, Andy looked ahead without squinting, ignoring the desperate banging of the reporters who had surrounded his car, but his naturally falling hands clenched into fists, and then released to relieve the excitement in his heart.

The speech at the press conference surprised all the reporters, and also talked about everyone's worries about the print media, and it was because of a summary that made the media feel Andy's confidence and sharpness in running a good paper media publishing.

This is undoubtedly an exhilarating breeze in the generally gloomy media world, and no one will overly ridicule Andy's age and self-indulgence, because just last year he bought the New York Observer newspaper not only turned a profit, but also spread its sales beyond New York State to the United States.

It's inconceivable, the Observer has gone against the grain market against the backdrop of declining sales and shrinking markets, stunning everyone's jaws and slapping the faces of the media and reporters who have mocked Andy Smith.

The special issue made the media and celebrities who had ridiculed him a laughing stock for the American people, because the editors of the "Observer", who were already known for their spicy and hot reviews, almost racked their brains and did their best to ridicule them, and all kinds of hateful comments were marked on the top of those people and the media as if they didn't need money.

It also makes everyone realize that this young man who is called a genius will be repaid.

Now, just now, this young man, who is only 22 years old and too young to speak, bought Newsweek, which has just passed its 74th birthday, influenced generations of Americans, and reshaped the values of post-war American imperialism for one dollar.

It directly detonated the excitement of all the media at the press conference, and the huge news value made all reporters crazy.

$1, 22 years old, 74 years old!

These three keywords are like having wings in the development of the Internet, no, they should have been plugged in a number of pairs of wings with Washington as the center to spread in all directions, the United States, and all the countries that Newsweek radiated to...

"Hey, dear, did you see the news of Andy Smith's acquisition of Newsweek?" said Wendy Murdoch, sitting on the living room couch at home, looking at the FOX news channel, holding the phone, still with a surprised expression on his face.

"Hehe, I just knew, what a great young man, who turned a takeover of a mess into big news for only one dollar... ”

Wendy Murdoch listened to her husband's explanation, and couldn't help but open and close her lips, not knowing what to say.

However, what her husband said is really like this, and the predicament faced by Newsweek is no secret in the industry, and whoever takes over needs to inject capital to support the newspaper for a short period of time, and in the general environment, it may even fall into this quagmire.

But now this dollar has made Newsweek, whose influence has declined, appear in front of the American public, and it will occupy the main page of news reports in the following period of time by swiping the screen.

"Smack!"

"Tell me, oh my God, it's not because I'm crazy ... ”

"Owen, what's wrong with you... Oh God!"

Owen Matthews, an editor at Newsweek for fifteen years, looked at the headlines on the front page of the open web page, the teacup in his hand fell to the floor, and he was dumbfounded, unable to say a word.

The concerned probe of the colleague next to him looked over and was equally shocked by the news headline.

"The newspaper was bought for a dollar... ”

I don't know who stood up and shouted in a trembling voice, the atmosphere in the newspaper office, which had already fallen into a strange atmosphere, became even heavier, and everyone felt the depression of the dark clouds, and they remembered who the team of Wall Street jingying stationed in the conference room a few days ago was, and what they were doing!

"Ding!"

"Ding!"

。。。。。。

E-mail chimes sounded on the computers of all newspaper staff.

Everyone remained quiet and sat down in front of the computer to open the email.

"Hello colleagues at Weekly, I'm Andy Smith, your new boss. I think you've learned about what happened in Washington through various sources...

Challenged by the Internet, the U.S. newspaper industry is increasingly entering an unprecedented bottleneck. The former newspaper empire is looking for a way out in the difficult trek.

What is black and white and is about to be finished?

Newspaper!

Although the words are very ruthless, it is true, the US Distribution Review Bureau data reported that as of February this year, the circulation of 507 American daily and evening newspapers fell by 4.64% in 6 months, with a circulation of only 38.16 million, compared with 40.02 million in the same period last year.

Advertising revenue will be affected. According to the Newspaper Association of America, the yield on print and online newspaper advertising fell by 18.1 percentage points in the first quarter of 2007. This is the sixth consecutive quarter of a downward trend in advertising revenue.

The economic model in which the newspaper industry operates can no longer be used!

The situation has deteriorated to such an unprecedented level. And many decision-makers are not dealing with this problem in the right way, they are too focused on the cost of investment, and in doing so, they will gradually lose the influence of their own products.

My arrival will not change the general trend of the shrinking print media market, and of course, it will not change the tradition of weekly magazines, which will reduce the distribution of paper editions in favor of electronic editions.

We are facing great challenges ahead, and I hope that my colleagues will continue to be with the newspaper through thick and thin.

I'll be in Washington for a while, but I'm sure we'll see you soon, and thank you colleagues for your hard work.

Andy Smith."

In the office hall, which was unusually quiet, I don't know if it was the female editor who said to herself: "The new boss, really young, so handsome... ”

"Poof!"

"Don't be a nymphomaniac, look, this is his girlfriend, the daughter of a wealthy family... ”

Then the entire newspaper office quickly regained its vitality, and some people gathered together to browse the latest stories.

Although Andy's e-mail could not completely dispel everyone's concerns, it at least played a role in stabilizing the morale of the military, a boss who was very familiar with the media industry, and undoubtedly made everyone's worries about the layman's nonsense dissipate.

At the same time, the three major television stations and cable television networks in the United States are reporting on this matter in the form of interstitial broadcasts, and even the three major television stations directly invite guests to the studio to do special discussions and analysis.

It also gave the American people a clear understanding of the plight faced by the traditional print media in the United States and the general trend that cannot be changed for the first time.

In the 10,000-card luxury suite of the CP International Hotel, Andy is smiling tirelessly and thanking for the first congratulatory call.

And Ivana, who was also smiling, narrowed her eyes into crescent moons, with a rich expression, tilted her chin slightly, and gently shook the person on the phone chatting hotly.

At about the same time, both of them hung up the phone in their hands, looked at each other and smiled, Ivana hugged Andy's arm tightly, and smiled happily: "It's really crazy, I've received several TV interview calls, and the three major TV stations want me to be on their news commentary programs, oh my God, they know they can't invite you, so they focus on me... ”

Andy twitched his arms, took her into his arms, stroked her back, and said with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned: "Go if you like." ”

"That's not going to work. Ivana raised her head and looked at Andy with beautiful eyes, "The celebration dinner, there are only two days to prepare, this is the most important thing, I don't have time to participate in any TV interviews, I have to discuss with the hotel management in the afternoon, after all, the guests invited to the dinner are not only large, but also very important, almost the entire power center of the United States, whether it is security or ingredients, I need to personally take care of it, these can not be a little mistake... ”

Andy chuckled and looked at Ivana, who was blushing with excitement, talking eloquently, as if the troublesome and trivial things that came out of her mouth were as happy as they were for her.

I can't help but think of the photos of Ms. Kay that I saw in the post showroom, showing that I control the social circle, maybe Ms. Kai's mood and expression when preparing for the banquet at that time were similar to Ivana at this time.
