Chapter Eighty-Six: A Wonderful Self-Introduction
Andy had already heard the noise outside the conference room, and he had generally thought of the reason, and there was no superfluous emotion, and he chatted with Arthur Carter, who had already regarded himself as an outsider, for a while. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Pete Kaplan anxiously pushed open the door of the conference room, walked up to Andy and Arthur and said, "Mr. Smith, I think you need to come forward to reassure the newspaper staff, there is panic outside, and it is impossible to carry out normal work. ā
Arthur Carter's originally gloomy eyes seemed to have regained their brilliance, and he was very much looking forward to how Andy was prepared to face the first predicament after the acquisition of the newspaper.
How does a 21-year-old cope? There was an eerie silence in the conference room, and everyone looked at Andy with a smile on his lips.
Andy stood up, pulled off his suit in a chic manner, with a confident smile on his face, and nodded slightly to Arthur Carter, who was seated, "I'm sorry, Mr. Carter, I'll go out and deal with it first, I'm out of company." ā
"It's okay, it's me who should say I'm sorry, after all, these troubles are leftovers, but now it's up to you, I'm sure you can handle it." Although Arthur Carter said sorry, he saw his expression more expectantly.
Andy smiled and nodded, looked back at Pete Kaplan, who was already sweating a little on his forehead, the smile on his face dissipated, and said seriously: "Mr. Kaplan, you are the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, even if today's acquisition is sudden, it should not let the newspaper be shut down, I hope only this time!"
Pete Kaplan's face turned red, and he lowered his head and apologized: "I'm sorry, this is my work mistake, there will never be a next time." I promise. ā
Knowing that his beating had made the other party understand, he didn't continue to embarrass him, after all, Pete Kaplan is still very talented as the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, and it is also a difficult talent.
Andy walked in front, Joseph and the others followed, always ready to protect Andy's safety, Pete Kaplan secretly wiped the sweat stains on his forehead, walked quickly past Andy, and helped him open the door of the conference room.
With a hint of a smile on his face, Arthur Carter whispered to Auston beside him, "Auston, aren't you worried?"
"Hehe, what do I have to worry about? You know, Arthur, I didn't expect him to convince you so quickly to buy The Observer. I'm sure he'll be able to handle it. Auston chuckled and shook his head noncommittally.
"Well, a very good young man, indeed. Let's go out and have a look, after all, it's my legacy trouble, and it's a bit too much to sit idly by. Arthur Carter eventually stood up, not wanting to see the newspaper staff pitted against Andy and let things get out of hand.
Andy walked out of the conference room and saw a group of people talking about something not far away, and the whole newspaper office looked very chaotic, and walked all the way over, and saw that the desks in each employee's cubicle were very cluttered.
The employees of the newspaper also found Andy and his party, their faces couldn't help but change slightly, and the scene immediately quieted down, some of them secretly moved their steps, wanting to hide back in the crowd, but more of them looked at the young and handsome Andy with complicated expressions, scrutiny, doubt, worry, and uneasiness, all contained in it.
Joseph's whole body was tense, he felt more than a dozen hostile eyes, and instinctively wanted to rush up to block Andy, his steps paused slightly, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, he was really nervous, how could someone from the newspaper attack Andy, in the face of possible unemployment, the hostile gaze was light.
Andy's tall figure, straight waist, and a slim custom suit made him look unexpectedly mature and capable.
Coming to the gathered employees, Andy's smile on his face has been maintained, very sunny, very kind, walked around, dragged a chair from a nearby office cubicle, and laughed softly: "Whose desk is this, it's okay for me to step on your chair, right?"
"No... No. A female voice remembered in the crowd, and her tone was very nervous.
Andy smiled and stood up with his legs up, and Joseph stepped up and stretched out a hand to secure the back of the chair.
"As the new employer of this newspaper, I would like to introduce myself. Well, you are all journalists, you should be no stranger to me, after all, I'm very popular now!" Andy smiled very brightly, and said with a little self-deprecation, which also made some newspaper employees laugh good-naturedly, and eased the tense and depressing atmosphere in just one sentence.
"The New York Observer has a long reputation, and I've always had a lot of respect for its journalistic philosophy and cynical humor. I'm not here to dictate the editorial work of the newspaper, but to give Pete Kaplan the greatest support to publish the best newspaper we can... ā
Pete Kaplan looked up at Andy, who was extremely confident, and finally relieved himself, his position as editor-in-chief was secure, and he was the first to applaud, after all, it was still a very happy thing to be praised by the new owner. All the employees applauded, and the initial redundancies seemed a bit mediocre, and it seemed that the new boss would not carry out the brutal layoffs.
Andy smiled and pressed his hand, and continued, "When I heard that The Observer was interested in selling, and before meeting with Arthur Carter today to discuss the purchase, I was thinking about whether I could afford to own the paper? ā
"Some people will worry that if the new boss is so young, will he interfere in the editorial work, will he adjust the editorial team? Let me tell you a simple truth, children know the truth, and if the toys are broken, they will not have to play! If I intervene in the editorial work, the newspaper will lose its original value. So, you can work with peace of mind, and I will keep the whole editorial team!"
As soon as Andy's words fell, warm applause rang out, some young staff whistled, and the female staff felt even happier, they were completely beautiful male presidents, and they could see the handsome boss every day in the future, especially the boss's figure was so charming, and some drooled secretly when they thought of the photos of Andy's perfect body in a few magazines.
I won't be unemployed, so I naturally feel that it is a very happy thing to have a boss who is young and rich, and who is famous.
"When people ask me how I make a profit, I want to tell them that I have two of the best things that no other person has ever had: the people you have in the room, the team that you have made, and the curiosity and energy to break the mold. ā
"I'm looking forward to seeing this media revolution in the front row together. I look forward to continuing to work together to publish a newspaper that we are proud of week after week. I'm looking forward to moving from a local XING newspaper to a national XING forum. Together, I look forward to creating an open, productive work environment where everyone can put their energy, enthusiasm and focus into achieving our goals. ā
Applause, extremely warm applause, some young employees are even more enthusiastic, attracted by the bright future in Andy's words, and some old employees also see the bright future of the newspaper.
"What an admirable young man, Alston, I'm a little jealous of you now. Arthur Carter's old face was very ruddy, as if his old heart had been injected with some vitality, and while applauding Andy's wonderful speech standing on a high place, with a confident and proud smile on his face, he whispered to Auston who agreed to be excited.
"Hehe, your jealousy only makes me more proud. Besides, Upton has been doing a good job lately, and he's also very good!" Alston smiled happily, and it was naturally a very pleasant thing to make old Arthur jealous, but he still lost no time in complimenting Arthur's son.
"Hehe, that's what he can reassure me, I heard that you're running for state legislature? The folds on Auston's old face smiled together, and he was very proud of his son's excellence.
"Thank you. Auston watched his son get out of the chair, surrounded by the newspaper staff, shaking hands with everyone, the employees were very excited, and their voices trembled a little when they introduced their names, especially some female staff, who could still hear excited screams from time to time, and the scene was very enthusiastic.
