Chapter 730: Miss Watson

After waiting for everyone to sit down, Simon Garner, who has been the editor-in-chief of the newspaper for more than 10 years, handed over the reform plan formulated through the meeting over the past two days and combined with Andy's new boss's plan to the young new boss.

Andy took it and began to look through it, but the atmosphere at the conference table was a little depressed, raised his head and glanced at the editor-in-chief, Simon Garner, and continued to look down at the documents, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly and said, "You have all read this morning's "Guardian", right?"

The expressions of the management of the newspaper, including Simon Garner, couldn't help but be stunned, and their faces were unspeakably embarrassed, and Simon, as the editor-in-chief, could only reply stubbornly: "Boss, I've seen it, for 20 years, they have not dealt with us, so... ”

"So, they gloated that there was a new boss, and it was a blow to you, the editor-in-chief, that we were the newspaper that was always at the bottom of the circulation, and that my presence would bring hope, but not immediate salvation. ”

Andy raised his head and looked around with an indifferent smile, and finally his eyes fell on the editor-in-chief who was speculated by many media to be kicked out as soon as he became the owner, after all, the editor-in-chief of 10 years is absolutely to blame for running the newspaper like this.

In fact, the drama and ridicule in the report of the "Guardian" are more straightforward, but after all, it is his own subordinates, and his own boss naturally cannot also join the ranks of ridicule.

“。。。 When the news of the acquisition broke, employees in Kensington's press office did let out a low cheer, welcoming the boss from the bottom of their hearts. ”

Listening to Simon Garner's London sycophant, Andy couldn't help but chuckle, "It's understandable, at least two newspaper staff will keep their positions, and they don't have to worry about losing their jobs for the time being...

Well, the reform plan is not bad, and it fits very well with the idea of running a newspaper "i" that I thought, and by the way, Ian Birrell welcomes you back. ”

A sharp-eyed white middle-aged uncle with a height of only about 170 centimeters hurriedly said gratefully: "Thank you, boss." ”

Andy waved his hand and smiled lightly: "I'm not an INM group, I'm not afraid that your sharp comments will cause controversy, as long as you don't break the law, the newspaper will support you." In this way, Simon, you are responsible for the overall management of the content review of the newspaper, the Sunday newspaper, and the new newspaper "i" that will be published.

Ian, you're in charge of the content of the newspaper, and I'm still the same thing, I'm not afraid of controversy, I'm not afraid of trouble, as long as it can make its content unique and dazzling, and it can increase sales, and our readers like it. ”

Hearing the words of the new boss, everyone present also confirmed the idea in their hearts, this is a pragmatic boss, similar to the Murdoch, everything is aimed at making the reader pay for it.

Ahem, do you want to be the same headline party as the third-rate tabloid "The Sun"?

If Andy knows what his subordinates think, he will definitely spray them to death, Nima, and he still looks down on the "Sun", and he doesn't look at how many sales people have, where does he have the confidence to laugh at people for being a third-rate tabloid!

"Simon, I've read your idea of the tide newspaper "i", it is indeed experienced, but remember that the members of the team under the age of 30 should not be drawn from the hands of the people of the two newspapers, and if they are not recruited, this newspaper is priced at 20 pence, and I want its content to be the trendiest, the most fashionable, and the readership is set at 24 or less teenagers, and when the time comes, it can cooperate with the lifestyle section of the standard evening newspaper.

This year, 100,000 copies will be delivered for free on Christmas Eve, and at the same time, I will spend £1 million to find a marketing company to run it, and I want to make it an instant hit!"

Everyone was shocked by Andy's handwriting, millions of marketing fees, Nima, the local tyrant boss begged for a salary increase...

Andy naturally saw the eager gaze of a group of subordinates, but he wouldn't be kind to this group of people now, and if he didn't make some achievements, maybe the next time they met, the people who appeared here today would be changed.

"This is Grigodike, the former director of the BBC, who will be the CEO of Du Li, and will henceforth be entrusted to him for everything except the content of the newspaper... ”

Grigor stood up with a smile on his face and greeted everyone with a mixed gaze, in exchange for a rather warm applause.

When the applause stopped, Andy continued: "Grigor, the DU newspaper website will operate separately, you can take care of this matter, the Times website has been charged in June, our DU newspaper content is still free, but the "i" newspaper section is still charged 20p, I hope you can make the website grow quickly, seize the market, I will give you 10 million pounds of operating funds, don't let me down." ”

"Understood the boss. Grigor replied with a serious expression.

Everyone also suddenly became enlightened, it turned out to be the transformation to the Internet, and there is no doubt that the way of free Internet "impacted" the existing market competition pattern.

Fortunately, the fact that the newspapers that everyone in the outside world and the newspaper company were speculating about were also free did not happen, otherwise there would have been a reshuffle of the British mainstream media landscape.

In the afternoon, Andy came to the DU newspaper office in Kensington, a four-story Victorian building facing the street, which is also the property of the newspaper, of course, it has already been mortgaged to the bank.

You must know that Kensington has always been a famous rich area in London because of Kensington Palace, and the average price of apartments here is 2 million pounds, and the price of the four-storey building of the newspaper office will be higher and higher in the future.

After walking around the newspaper office, showing his face, he always asked the employees of the newspaper to meet their new boss, and also made a brief and only interview in London, hoping to open a new chapter for the newspaper.

Of course, once the neutral style has been changed, the comments and criticisms have become more and more spicy, and the Du Libao, who likes to debate everywhere, has ushered in a new future.

Stepping into the night of London, Andy led his assistants and bodyguards on the plane back to the United States.

Unlike when he came, during his time in London, he had already laid a foothold and a financial nail on this land, and began to lay out in advance for the financial turmoil in Europe in the next few years.

"This way, please... Mr. Smith, this is your place ... Do you need me to get you another blanket... ”

Andy smiled and enjoyed the considerate service of the Mei YAN flight attendant wearing a classic red skirt uniform, and the most important reason why he chose Virgin Atlantic was because of the snug seat in the first class cabin, and the seat pitch was spacious enough, making long-distance travel more spacious and comfortable.

Of course, as far as the aunt flight attendants of other airlines are concerned, the Virgin flight attendants, who have always been known for their eye-catching silk bow ties and well-fitting red uniforms, exude taste, charm and cheerful spirit when serving him, and people have to admire that these "red xing baby" will make the journey more enjoyable.

Andy, with the help of the hot stewardess, adjusted the angle of the seat, opened the workbench, put the laptop, and was about to "create" a serial for DU Lip Newspaper when a slightly reckless golden-brown shawl-haired girl with a slightly tangled expression entered Andy's first-class cabin.

"Sorry to interrupt, Mr. Smith, I'm a fan of your books, can you sign a name for me?"

"Huh?"

Andy heard the voice, frowned slightly, and was leaning over to help him put the blanket on his lap The stewardess just blocked his vision, because of the abrupt sound, the stewardess also straightened up and looked back at the door.

"Hermione?" blurted out the flight attendant, a little surprised.

Andy also waved his hand, and when the bodyguard went back, he looked at Miss Watson, who was obviously embarrassed by the title of Hermione, with a little amusement and surprise.

Well, Miss Watson, who is only 17 years old now, has begun to deliberately want to tell others that she has grown up. A pair of skinny jeans, a black slim-fitting suit and a white sweater with black petals at the neckline highlight her mountain bag that is beginning to take shape.

Andy got up from his seat with a smile and stretched out his hand, with a charming smile on his face, the whole person was very sunny and gentle, "Hello, Miss Watson, it's a pleasure to meet you, I'm very happy to have such a beautiful girl reader as you." ”

"Thank you. Emma Watsons, ahem, Emma and the handsome Andy looked at each other, saw the admiring look in Andy's eyes, couldn't help but avoid the gaze, bowed his head slightly, and reached out to pin the hair on one cheek behind his ear.

Andy smiled faintly, let go of Miss Watson's nen slippery little hand, and said, "Please sit down, what do you drink?"

"Oh... No, thank you, I just heard from my companion that I saw you, you know, I'm a member of your readers' club, but I haven't had a chance to see you, I haven't even signed an autograph, sorry, it's a bit abrupt... ”

Andy looked at Emma's vivid expression of being a little anxious, and said beautiful English words with a small mouth.

"Well, it seems to be my fault! Well, let me make up for it. Andy made an exaggerated apology, took the "Hunger Games" from Miss Watson's hand, opened the page, and began to sign it.

After signing it, returning the book to the rosy Miss Watsons, Emma turned the page of the book and saw "To the magical beautiful girl Emma Watson, thank you for your support, I am also your fan - Andy Smith... ”

"This... Emma saw the string of numbers behind her, and couldn't help but raise her head to look at Andy's handsome face with a little heartbeat.

Andy shrugged, raised an eyebrow and said, "That's my apology, that's my private number." ”

Emma's fair cheeks instantly flushed, well, the American boy is really direct enough...

Okay, the magical girl thinks a little too much, to be honest, Andy is still a little bit unspeakable about this Miss Watsons who has changed eight boyfriends in seven years, and he also liked Hermione very much in his previous life, but the Watsons chick is packaged too well, and her image is more of Hermione, looking at the freckles on the face of the Watsons chick, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.
