Chapter 380: Do You Buy Newsweek?

Newsweek is one of the three major weekly magazines in the United States, and it is a weekly news magazine published in New York and distributed in the United States and Canada. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Newsweek is often seen as having a more liberal view than Time and more conservative than U.S. News and World Report.

Andy walked out of the lounge with a smiling Pete Kaplan and a wry smile on Jon Meacham, and walked slowly down the hall.

"Andy, to be honest, at that time, when you bought the "New York Observer" newspaper, which has been losing money for many years, the industry was a joke, after all, you are too young, but look at now, not only turned losses into profits, but also the circulation has grown explosively, I heard that you are also preparing to start a daily newspaper, but recently many regional XING newspapers have been acquired by you, it is really amazing!" Jon Meacham sighed and looked at Andy's side face with a calm and confident smile with a sigh.

"Hehe, this is not my credit, although I also know some of the media industry, but there is no way to compare with you veterans, I can only say that Pete did a good job, and I just leave professional things to professional people to do, since I don't understand, don't interfere, just give Pete enough rights, the daily newspaper is Pete doing, this is Pete's dream all along, hehe. ”

Andy's eyes flashed with a bright light, and the smile on his face became even brighter, saying that made Pete laugh and wave his hands modestly, but it made Jon Micham feel complicated, envious and jealous words, and watched Jon's expression change with deep meaning.

"In our domestic media, liberals dominate, neither left nor right, and your newspaper has maintained impartiality for more than ten years, this kind of insistence is rare, especially after you became the owner, everyone thought that the position of the "Observer" would change, but a money laundering report shocked everyone's jaws, to be honest, with a boss like you, Pete is so happy!" Jon Meacham smiled and patted Andy's ass without a trace.

"Haha, Jon, I agree with you very much, I am indeed very lucky, I heard that the boss of your weekly magazine began to withdraw funds last year? Hey, the market is sluggish, debt losses are inevitable, I saw reports that you will reach a loss of 40 million in the next two years, however, this should not be a big problem for you, after all, the right 70 years of history of the old newspaper. ”

PETE KAPLAN LOOKED AT JON MICHAM WITH DEEP MEANING, AND SNEERED FROM TIME TO TIME IN HIS HEART, PEERS ARE ENEMIES, AND THE TWO HAVE DEALT WITH EACH OTHER BEFORE, ALTHOUGH HE DOESN'T KNOW THE PROVERB THAT NOTHING TO DO IN THE RABBIT COUNTRY IS NOT JIAN IS A THIEF, BUT AN OUTSIDER PATS HIS BOSS'S ASS LIKE THIS, HOW CAN IT FEEL A LITTLE STRANGE, IT WON'T BE THAT HE WANTS TO CHANGE JOBS, NIMA, THIS IS TO GRAB A JOB WITH HIMSELF.

Jon Meacham's face became a little ugly, but he still endured the embarrassment, smiled awkwardly, and looked at Andy Smith, who still had no change in expression and a charming smile on his handsome face, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

To tell the truth, he came to this banquet this time, in addition to participating in this so-called alliance, and then he wanted to find a next home, the current boss of "Newsweek" did withdraw a large amount of money last year, and now the newspaper is self-financing, since the report on the prisoner abuse incident, they have ushered in Washington's suppression, the recession of the paper media, has been losing money for two consecutive years, and the boss has the intention of getting rid of this money-losing goods.

With a bank loan of 315 million yuan, a serious loss of $10 million a year, and a shrinking paper media market, the only advantage is Newsweek, the world's 500 well-known brands, and more than 70 years of newspaper history.

Since the beginning of this year, the U.S. economy has been incomprehensible, the stock market has risen and fallen, the real estate market has been treacherous, and some large banks have strangely tightened the issuance of commercial loans.

Originally, Jon Meacham pinned his hopes on some large groups, but when he came to see it, except for Murdoch and the owners of several medium-sized newspapers, most of them were the editors-in-chief of some newspapers, which made him very disappointed.

However, after the belated arrival of Andy, he regained hope, this young man is not only a billionaire who is not bad for money, but also interested in the media, and the newspaper he bought turned a profit and rose, isn't this a good buyer!

Looking at Pete Kaplan, who was hostile and defensive, Jon couldn't help but smile bitterly, knowing that it was basically wishful thinking to fool young billionaires in front of such industry insiders, and said helplessly: "Let me be blunt, Mr. Smith, are you interested in buying Newsweek?"

Andy's figure as he walked down slightly stagnated, standing on the stairs, the smile on his face still did not fade, he looked at Jon Meacham with a slight sideways face, showing his white teeth and smiling, "Oh, you are looking for a buyer?

"Five million dollars!" Jon Meacham gritted his teeth and said his boss's low price.

"The boss... Pete Kaplan looked anxious to stop, to be honest, he was really worried that his boss who was not bad for money agreed to it, "Newsweek" seems to be a piece of fat, but in fact it is definitely a piece of rotten meat, a huge pit, spend money to buy a money-losing goods, you can definitely be disgusted to death, brand, fame is indeed very advantageous, but it is garbage if you can't eat it.

The most important thing is that "Newsweek" is definitely at the top of the White House blacklist, and in some things such as zipperton, 911, etc., it has simply sprayed the White House into a sieve, and Washington will only have ghosts if they are not suppressed to death.

The corners of Andy's mouth moved, and he smiled lightly, and continued to walk downstairs, leaving a word that made Jon Meacham see a glimmer of hope, "It's too expensive... ”

"Mr. Smith, we can negotiate the price, do you really have any intention of acquiring it?" Jon Meacham asked as he took two quick steps with an excited expression on his face.

Andy glanced at him, shook his head and smiled, just in time to see Blay Cleverly and Leighton Mester walking towards him with a glass of champagne.

"Is this done?" Blake Cleverly smiled sweetly, naturally taking Andy's arm on his shoulder, and Leighton also took the other side.

"Well, that's it, come, let me introduce you, this is Jon Meacham, the editor-in-chief of Newsweek, these two beauties are my "Gossip Girl" Queen S Blake Cleverly, B Queen Leighton Meester... ”

Andy helped the three of them to make introductions and chatted a few words, as if they had forgotten the topic just now, and Jon Meacham could only chat without a word, hoping to get Andy's answer.

To be honest, at the banquet, there were many people who wanted to know Andy, after all, as the new head of the newspaper, the youngest billionaire, it is normal for them to be in the spotlight, and the two young queens also met a lot of people with Andy, and received a lot of polite praise, which made them smile even brighter, although they also knew that they benefited from Andy, otherwise, how could these celebrities care about the two immature little actors.

On the other side, Pete Kaplan's eyes narrowed slightly at Jon Meacham, who was a little absent-minded, and after a short silence, Pete said: "Jon, everyone knows the situation of your newspaper, 50 million, hehe, it seems delicious, but it is also difficult to swallow!"

"Huh. A faint smile appeared on the corner of Jon's mouth, he can shoot Andy's ass, but he doesn't care about Pete Kaplan, everyone is an industry, and he also knows Pete's ability, which is a little worse than himself, "Pete, you should know the influence of Newsweek itself, which is irresistible to anyone who has the heart to get involved in the media industry, I admit that the Observer has done a good job recently, but you must know that compared to Newsweek, the Observer IT'S JUST A BABY, DO YOU THINK SOMEONE AS SMART AS MR. SMITH WOULD BE TEMPTED BY THIS?"

"But Jon, don't forget, your newspaper's debts, and the sheer number of employees, I believe that no one would want to face your staff union, history can not only bring heritage, but also synonymous with trouble! Do you owe the bank 200 million or 300 million? I think it takes a lot of courage to spend 50 million to take over a weekly magazine that was suppressed by Washington!" Pete Kaplan sneered in his heart, with a faint smile on his face, not caring at all about Jon's expression becoming a little ugly, and said-for-tat.

Well, peers are enemies.
