"For a long time, most online news was considered a "free lunch" by audiences. Whether or not to build a "paywall" between the media and the audience has been a long-standing topic in the global press community.

However, from free to paid, it will lead to a decrease in the overall audience of the media, and the number of website visits will drop to the freezing point, so it is impossible to pay for reading, like comprehensive newspapers, the only way out is to make money in the form of free advertising... ”

Andy tore off the check, and while speaking his opinion, he handed the check to a somewhat excited Alyssa.

Alyssa took the check, the mood was really mixed, the original parent company was desperate to draw blood and withdraw money from the "Herald", lay off staff and reduce expenses, and the new boss injected 10 million without saying a word, so that the newspaper's overstretched funds were replenished, really, with the right boss, it is really more important than anything else!

"Boss, website fees are absolutely unobtainable, the whole of Miami, we are the largest newspaper, there are almost no opponents, once the fee will inevitably lose website traffic, and then the website's advertising investment will also be hit hard.

Don't worry, boss, with your capital injection, we can carry out next year's subscription discount in advance, stabilize old customers at the same time, but also add new subscribers, and soon the subscription volume can be restored to the original level, I am confident!"

Andy looked at the confident Alyssa, couldn't help but chuckle and nodded: "Then I'll wait and see, I'm still the same sentence, I won't use the newspaper's original ATM, it can be profitable, and I won't be stingy with bonuses." ”

Saying that, Andy stood up and continued to Alyssa, who also stood up: "Let's go, take me to get acquainted with the newspaper." ”

Leaving the conference room, Andy took the little assistant, under the introduction of Elisa, familiar with the layout of the various departments of the newspaper, when they came to the newsroom, just appeared at the door, the entire editorial room hundreds of employees stood up in unison, began to applaud warmly to welcome the arrival of the new boss.

Fear of layoffs coming again, the anxiety of unemployment, and the nervous mood completely dissipated after the good news brought back by the editor-in-chief Anders Gyllenhaal after the meeting, and shouted "It's dawn" one by one, and began to talk about the new boss at the same time, of course, gossip scandals are indispensable, although discussing the scandal of the new boss is a bit of a suspicion of death.

So when someone saw the new boss walking towards the newsroom, they ran back early to inform everyone, and then there was a warm scene of standing ovation.

With a big smile on his face, Andy reached out and pressed it, waited until the applause fell, walked to the middle of the hall, looked around in circles, and then raised his voice and said, "The most influential newspaper in South Florida... Sensitive, impartial, and uninspiring, it not only forged the state law of the press and free speech, but also shaped the spirit of Miami that defies power.

Well, now we're in some trouble... But it's nothing, because I'm here, and I'm here with my love for newspapers, and I'm here to recreate the Miami Herald with you!"

"Wow-"

The whole editorial room was like a chicken, and their faces were flushed and they applauded wildly, and the pride and sense of identification with the new boss for winning the lawsuit for press freedom in the first set of amendments to the 1974 U.S. Constitution were brought by the new boss.

"Create brilliance again!"

"Create brilliance again!"

。。。。。。

"Welcome, boss, my name is Bob, I'm a fan of your books, it's an honor to work for you... ”

"Boss, my name is Knight... ”

"I'm John... ”

Andy was surrounded by enthusiastic employees, constantly introducing himself, reaching out to shake hands with Andy, Andy has been nodding to everyone with a calm smile, reaching out and shaking everyone, so that everyone present feels the easy-going and cordial of the new boss, rather than the indifference and insurmountable sense of distance.

The joy and atmosphere swept away the anxiety of the newspaper being traded, and of course, these people should be grateful that they had gone through a layoff purge before, otherwise they would face a new boss in a different state.

Well, Andy should also thank McClatch Newspaper Group for being the first bad guy so that he can travel light and be a good boss!

Leaving the newspaper office, Andy sat in the car, the smile on his face was still bright, looking at the newspaper building outside the car window, he suddenly turned his head to look at the assistant and asked, "You say, how about I convert the newspaper building into a casino hotel?"

"Huh?"

Tori was a little confused by the question at first, and his eyes were a little dumbfounded, but he quickly reacted, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, looked out the window at the rectangular building with an invincible sea view, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The current law in Florida seems to only allow small casinos to operate in indigenous areas, if you want to build it, Miami must amend the law first, and Disney will definitely jump out against it... ”

"Huh?!" Andy looked at the little assistant who said something that surprised him with some impressive expressions, and said with a smile: "Hehe, it's not easy, you can think of this, but you have grown." ”

Tori couldn't help but blush and explained: "I watched the news some time ago, and it seems that Disneyland is asking for the banning of casinos because some aboriginal casinos in Orlando have damaged the image of the tourism industry, so I... ”

"Hehe, I see, that's not easy, I actually know that I have to do information reserves, which is a bit of an assistant, continue to work hard. Andy shook his head and smiled, but he didn't hesitate to praise Tori, who was too lazy to do it, to give her some motivation to move forward.

Sure enough, hearing the praise of the Great Demon King, Tori's beautiful eyes smiled into a crescent moon, and he was so happy that if he had a tail, he would definitely wag it. The resentment of being pushed to sleep in another room last night also dissipated.

At the same time, Andy Smith's $260 million acquisition of South Florida has been a 100-year hierarchical, and news of Miami's largest English-language newspaper, the Miami Herald, spread rapidly.

Although the news that Andy was going to buy the newspaper was not new, the deal still caused a lot of repercussions, and at the same time made other newspaper companies that were struggling to see a new path.

The newspaper crisis is spreading due to declining circulation and plummeting advertising revenues, and there are even fears that print media will one day die. At this time, Andy Smith, a young billionaire, bucked the trend and acquired a number of print media with real money, which made it difficult for many people to understand.

However, the media industry has mixed feelings about this, and it is only a matter of time before the new media king sits on the throne, and as long as the acquisition of NBCUniversal is completed, he will become the new king of News Corporation.

The news of the acquisition also stimulated the three parties at the same time, looking at the reports with different thoughts and entanglements.

On the one hand, General Electric, which has made the merger and acquisition negotiations fall into a tug-of-war, looked at the stock price that has improved for a few days, and then fell headlong and plummeted downward, they have a hard time saying that if they can reach a merger and acquisition agreement, the stock price will definitely stop falling and rebound, but General Electric is really unwilling to let go of this good opportunity to take advantage of Andy Smith, a fat sheep with a large amount of cash.

However, as Andy began to make acquisitions, General Electric was a little anxious, and they were really afraid of provoking this local tyrant and terminating the negotiations...

On the other hand, there are members of the board of directors of Tribune, who have received the letter of acquisition, and now they are depressed when they see the news of the acquisition.

However, soon they will not need to be entangled and depressed, because the union representatives of the last party, the Los Angeles Times newspaper, brought an 'ultimatum' that they must come up with a plan to settle their pension liabilities before the end of the afternoon work, and if the time is exceeded and there is no result, the union will lead the newspaper employees, starting tomorrow, to strike!
