Chapter 1303: It's dawn
In the early morning, the sun pierces the cumulus clouds in the east, dyeing the clouds in the sky a few patches of color. But in an instant, it turned into a gloomy sky.
On the Miami skyline stands the 70-story Four Seasons Hotel, the tallest building south of Atlanta in the United States.
In the presidential suite, Andy, who has woken up, is surrounded by a LV Lima behind him, and the two look out the large curved window of the bedroom, the pure beauty of Biscayne Bay and the colorful clouds in the sky.
"Huh?"
Lima, who was a little sleepy-eyed, snorted softly, felt the murderous change somewhere someone, turned around suddenly, gave Andy a seductive look, and then kissed him lightly on the mouth.
"The weather in Miami is really speechless, it can change... β
As he spoke, he broke free from Andy's arms, lifted the blanket, jumped off the wound, giggled and raised his eyebrows and said: "There are activities in the morning, a big show in the afternoon, I don't have time to mess around with you, I shouldn't have compromised last night, damn it, don't say it, I have to go back before 8 o'clock, it's too late, but it's too big... β
Lima found his lace NEI shirt from the carpet and walked to the bathroom, Andy pouted, but he didn't have to do a morning exercise, after all, today is very important for Lima, making her legs and feet sore, and she will have a mess on the catwalk, so it will be a complete break.

Lima, with wet hair, was wearing only a set of black nei clothes on his tall and slender delicate body, and found a set of running equipment from his shoulder bag, a sports wipe XIONG, black leggings, and a pair of running shoes, and quickly changed them on.
After changing, he bent over and kissed Andy, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go first, see you in the afternoon." β
Looking at Lima, who was ruddy and full of vitality, Andy smiled: "Have fun!"
"Yes!" Lima said with a raised eyebrow, then put on his sunglasses, turned and walked out of the bedroom quickly.
Looking at the back of Lima, who values the cool sense of xing, Andy raised his arms and stretched his waist, only then did he get up from the creation, looked at the little Andy who was hanging his head, and couldn't help muttering helplessly: "Let you have a good time at night... β
When Lima, who returned to the Victoria's Secret hotel after his morning run, changed into a white vest and white leggings in his room, and after a simple breakfast, he followed the army to Miami Beach to shoot the fashion show.
Dozens of Victoria's Secret angels such as Hai Ma, Alexander, Big KK, Du Chen and Miranda Kerr formed a luxurious supermodel team wearing white bikinis to show off their hot bodies, detonating the beaches of Miami.
At this moment, Andy had already gotten in the car and went straight to the Miami Herald newspaper office in Biscayne Bay.
In the conference room, Andy and Gary Pruitt, CEO of McClatch Newspaper Group, smiled and shook hands, although the other party was smiling, but somewhat bitter, Andy didn't care if the other party's mood was complicated, he came here today to receive this century-old newspaper.
There was no excessive greetings, and the process of completing the transaction was not so troublesome, and the negotiation teams of both sides had already solved all the troubles.
"Happy working together!"
"Happy working together!"
After the contract was signed, Andy and Garrip shook hands and congratulated each other with a smile on their faces, while the room lit up with flashing lights and enthusiastic applause, and surprisingly, the most excited were the executives of the Miami Herald.
The McClatch Newspaper Group soon left the newspaper after receiving the check, and for them, the newspaper was a thing of the past, and now it has a new owner, Andy Smith.
"Sit down, I'm meeting you for the first time today, but as a media person, you should be familiar with me, well, you should be very familiar... β
"Bang Bangβ"
The executives applauded again with smiles on their faces, and they welcomed the new boss from the bottom of their hearts, after all, no one wants to see the Miami Herald go into decline, and having a new boss who is not bad for money will undoubtedly give them no worries about following in the footsteps of other newspapers and closing the publication.
Andy smiled and stretched out his hand to suppress it, and waited until the applause subsided, then slowly retracted the smile on his face, looked around, and then said in a serious tone: "The destructive impact of the financial crisis on the American newspaper industry is very large, and everyone also has a deep understanding of this, first of all, it is reflected in the circulation of the newspaper, the data shows that the circulation of the Miami Herald fell by 25% on weekdays and 14% on weekends, and the form is very grim.
At the same time, due to the financial crisis and the sharp increase in competitive pressure from the Internet, the shrinkage of the American newspaper industry has become an irreversible fact. The U.S. newspaper industry has also seen a sharp drop in advertising revenue during the financial crisis.
I know that the Herald has just undergone a major layoff, and that layoffs are undoubtedly the most direct, effective, and common way to "save money", and that may make the newspaper a little overstretched, but I hope you will overcome these difficulties.
The financial crisis will pass, but media change is inevitable. With the rapid development of new technologies, the real impact of the financial crisis is actually to accelerate and shorten the process of global media transformation.
What surprised me very much was that the monthly DU visitors of the online version of the newspaper remained at the level of 5 million, which is a treasure, but the website operation funds are not much, and the profitability needs to be explored, and the newspaper should pay more attention to the operation of the newspaper website.
All of you here are veterans of the media industry, and the difficulties faced by the newspaper industry should be said to be very clear, so I will not repeat them, I hope that you can work together to tide over the difficulties, I do not ask the newspaper to make much money, and self-responsibility is my current expectation for the newspaper.
At the same time, you can go back and tell the staff of the newspaper that they can work with peace of mind and that the newspaper has no plans to lay off employees again... β
"Whoaβpopβ"
There was originally a dignified atmosphere in the conference room, but after Andy finished the last sentence, there was applause again, and everyone's originally heavy mood finally relaxed, more than 400 people were laid off just now, and if they were laid off, there would really be no one available.
The next meeting time is for the heads of each department to introduce themselves and report the details of each department to let the new boss know, and the meeting lasted for more than two hours before it ended.
After the meeting, Andy left the original vice president of the newspaper, Alyssa Vanaver, yes, a woman, don't get me wrong, a woman in her fifties.
The so-called president of the previous newspaper has left with the McClatch newspaper group, and Alyssa is a 'native' of the Miami Herald, and her ability is undoubted, otherwise she would not have taken the position of vice president.
"Alyssa, I want you to be the publisher and CEO of the newspaper, I don't know what you think?" Andy said straight to the point without going around in circles.
"Thank you boss for your trust... β
Seeing the other party's somewhat excited expression, Andy couldn't help but smile and said, "In that case, the finance department and the legal department will usher in new directors, and they will cooperate with your work, no problem, right?"
"No problem. Alyssa replied without hesitation.
"Well, that's good... In this way, I left 10 million for the newspaper, in addition to making up for the loss of 3 million, the rest, you take out a part of it for the operation of the website, by the way, recruit or promote a professional director of the network department, find a way to increase the revenue of the website, five million visits can not be wasted... β
While speaking, Andy took the check book from the little assistant's hand, lowered his head and swiped it, and the new CEO of the newspaper on the side, Alisa, was even more excited and blushing, this is the biggest support for her as the new CEO, money can make her better play her talents, sure enough, the new boss, it's really not bad money!
