Doug fell asleep, probably the deepest sleep he had since waking up in the nineteenth century.

Rose returned to the workshop downstairs and continued to preside over and maintain the daily work of the female workers in the printing and dyeing factory.

Although these tasks are reported by Ross, Doug will hardly preside over them himself. However, now that Doug upstairs is sick, Rose is inexplicably feeling a little irritable.

Williams in the office next door to Doug's room, even if it seems to be a solid job, but when his pen falls on the paper, there is only a black spot for half a day, looking for information and flipping through the file, but he can see it after a long time in a daze, he feels not as calm as it seems.

Don't think that negotiations with the Dye Association break down and you'll be fine.

Whether it is a cooperation or a breakdown of negotiations, there is a lot to be done in the future.

First of all......

It is to get a relatively complete list of the North American Dyestuff Association, and then investigate the background of the people on these lists.

After that, we will screen out those who can be bought or used, and use the appropriate way to capture them.

Williams did not have the right intelligence channels, though.

He's been a good baby since he was born.,The interpersonal relationship is very simple.,I know a little more people.,Or after coming to Yale Academy.。

Since working with Doug, he has definitely come into contact with more people than he had come into contact with for more than ten years before.

Doug once said, "Professional things are left to professional people." ”

Therefore, for intelligence gathering, it will be left to Blair.

The New Haven Times, a newspaper, sells more than 1,000 copies a day.

Although the profit is not very much, it has already earned back that huge typesetting machine.

Whether it is a reporter or an editor, or a newsboy's labor costs, it can also be covered.

The most important thing is that compared with the "New Haven Daily", which is full of advertisements, although the "New Haven Times" also has advertisements, but it is very restrained, but because of this restraint, not only the advertiser's advertising effect is better, but the reader's acceptance of the advertisement is also higher.

The advertising revenue of the New Haven Times is even comparable to that of the old New Haven Daily.

Why is this happening?

Actually, it's very understandable.

The easier it is to get something, the less it will be cherished.

If a newspaper is advertised every day, who cares about what's on it?

However, if it is the other way around, there are very few advertisements in a newspaper, and even one advertisement per issue.

In the case that the circulation of two newspapers is about the same, it is not possible that this single advertisement in this newspaper can occupy the attention of the other newspaper's full-page advertisement, and the effect of the advertisement will be better.

Add to that the New Haven Times, a series of shady reports about the New Haven Hotel and its affiliated hotel group.

It also makes readers feel real and more willing to believe in the content on it.

Of course, doing so erected some enemies.

However, in this world, there is no way to get things done when everyone is happy.

Even the legendary construction of socialism, the struggle to achieve the goal of factoryism.

It is also necessary to fight against those who want to steal the fruits of the laborers' labor.

Although compared to the time of the New Haven Daily, Blair is much busier now.

But this busyness has fulfilled him.

"Knock knock. ”

"Please come in. Williams said.

Blair pushed the door in, placing the document bag he was carrying on the table, "Here are some of the members of the Dye Society. Others are still being collected...... I heard that the boss is sick?"

Blair asked cautiously after finishing his business.

Williams nodded slightly.

"Why are you sick? Didn't the boss just say two days ago that he wanted to prevent colds......," said Blair, "I don't think there are many people who are sick even in the workshop downstairs." ”

"The teacher is probably too tired. Williams said, "The teacher asked me to take care of the little things, and I already felt too busy." Even when I went to sleep, I even dreamed that I was still working. I'm already so tired. Not to mention...... What about the teacher?"

Blair also sighed slightly when he heard Williams' explanation, "yes...... Think about it...... The boss seems to be a child. ”

Blair said a few more words, put down the information and left.

After the New Haven Times got on track, Doug gave Blair a new assignment.

In times of economic crisis, there are always many businesses that cannot continue to operate, and the same is true for the newspaper industry.

Doug asked Blair to focus on buying newspapers that had a relatively illustrious history but were now on the verge of bankruptcy, or had gone bankrupt.

For a smart man like Blair, even if Doug doesn't say what he did it for, he can still understand it.

Newspapers belong to the sphere of mass media, but they also belong to the category of the cultural industry.

Perhaps, for the general public, what is the history of a newspaper, they may not be concerned.

But for the cultural industry, people in the industry always hope that the company they are in has a longer and more glorious past.

The acquisition of newspapers that have gone bankrupt or on the verge of bankruptcy is for the sake of so-called "legitimacy".

With this so-called "legitimacy", it seems that the credibility of the statements made is a little higher.

But......

Blair, who had been working in New Haven for nearly two decades, began to wonder if it was too impractical to do so.

Is it really possible to become a newspaper tycoon?

Compared with the state of everyone slipping, Drake's state, although not better, is relatively good.

He has no one to rely on but on his own.

Knowing that he has some strength, he only does what he can.

With a wealth of life experience, he knows that if he doesn't take risks, he may just become an eyesore on the street. But if the ambition is too great and the ability does not match it, it will soon die without a place to bury.

After completing a few of life's major thrilling jumps, he was more conservative. Perhaps, joining Doug's camp is already a great adventure for him.

Winter nights fall earlier than autumn.

It was already dark outside the window, and in Doug's bedroom, the light through the cracks in the stove was dancing.

Doug was still feverish, but much lighter, and he opened his eyes slightly, looking at the fire projected from the ceiling.

Quietly watching, watching.

After some time, he struggled to get up and poured himself a cup of hot water from the thermos.
