Xu Qing occasionally goes to class and spends more time in her room writing "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", which is the second novel in the Harry Potter series.

However, it is not yet the time to publish "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", which plays a very important role in Xu Qing's plan.

If Xu Qing's plan succeeds, then he will earn at least $300 million in the next year, so that he has enough capital to enter the Internet.

This plan is not in a hurry, and the first step has not yet been completed.

"General manager, the sample book for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is complete!" Jiang Lu excitedly told Xu Qing the news on the phone.

"You're very efficient, okay, I'll be at the company right away. ”

Xu Qing put down the brick-like mobile phone and rushed to Carney Media as fast as possible.

As soon as she entered the door of the company, the tall front desk lady immediately bent down to say hello, her face was filled with a bright smile, as well as adoring eyes, and more violent autumn waves.

Xu Qing was a little surprised, when this front desk lady saw him for the first time, she didn't show her admiration, he hadn't been to the company these days, how could he worship him.

With doubts, Xu Qing came to Jiang Lu's new office, the original general manager's office belonged to Xu Qing.

Jiang Lu was talking to Johansen and Yang Jin about things, and when they saw Xu Qing, they immediately stood up and said hello.

"General Manager, let's report to your office. Jiang Lu said.

"No, you're fine here. Xu Qing waved his hand and sat on the sofa, and Jiang Lu and the others also sat on the sofa when they saw this.

"General manager, I'll report to you first. Johansen just sat down on the couch and immediately said impatiently.

"I'm still rushing to report the matter, looking at the smiles on your faces, it should be a good thing, if it's a bad thing, you should stay away now. ”

Xu Qing didn't care about Johansen's rudeness, it was a good thing to let this reporter from the "Los Angeles Times" report to him in such a hurry, and with a smile on his face.

"It's really a good thing, these days I sleep with Jiang Lu and Yang Jin with a smile. Seeing that Xu Qing didn't blame him for his rudeness, Johansen let go even more openly and made a joke.

"Since it's a good thing, then you should hurry up and say it, if you want to whet my appetite, be careful that I deduct your bonus this month. ”

Xu Qing also joked with Johansen, his age and experience determined that he could not be as calm and serious as those heroes who had experienced various business wars.

He also prefers a free and open way of working, which is the mainstream of the future of work, like Zuckerberg working with employees in a public office, Google's paradise way of working.

"Well, you're the general manager, I'm following your orders, I'm going to tell you a very good news, the newspaper is selling like crazy!" Johansen excited.

"How crazy is it? Don't just say half of it. Xu Qing glared at Johansen.

"General Manager, exactly 30 days have passed since the serialization of "Angels and Demons" to today, and the sales of the newspaper have been rising every day.

On the 10th day, the newspaper sold more than 8,000 copies, and on the 20th day, the newspaper sold 11,000 copies!

Today is the 30th day, the sales statistics are out, do you know what the sales are, 16,000 copies!

In just 30 days, the sales of the newspaper have increased from 6,000 to 16,000 copies, which is a miracle for small newspapers!

Johansen waved his arms excitedly, since the Carney newspaper was founded, it has never sold more than 10,000 copies, and the highest sales record is more than 9,000 copies.

Although Carney's current sales of 16,000 copies are mainly due to "Angels and Demons", he also put a lot of effort into running it, otherwise the newspaper would not have sold 16,000 copies so quickly.

"Very well, Johansen, you did a very good job, you should be applauded. ”

Xu Qing applauded, and at the same time quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he took out "Angels and Devils" a few years in advance, he was worried about whether this book would be as popular as in his previous life, it seems that he was overthinking, classics are classics.

Jiang Lu and Yang Jin also applauded immediately, they are also very happy that Carney Newspaper can achieve such good results, Carney Newspaper has made money, which is equivalent to Carney Media making money, and their lives can be better.

"General manager, because of the increase in newspaper sales, there are many advertisers who want to publish advertisements in our newspapers, what do you think about it?"

"I don't have any requirements, just one thing you have to keep in mind that you can't sign advertising contracts with advertisers for more than one month, because our newspaper sales are increasing rapidly every day, and after one month, the newspaper may have sold more than 30,000 copies.

At that time, the advertising price will be different from now, we will suffer if we sign for too long, and you will look at the other processing, you are a professional, more experienced than me. ”

"Good. ”

When Johansen heard Xu Qing's words, he secretly smacked his tongue, the general manager was more confident in the sales of the newspaper than him, and he didn't dare to say that one month later, the newspaper sold more than 30,000 copies.

He expects 25,000 copies, because the growth rate of sales will eventually slow down, and 25,000 copies should fully show the influence of "Angels and Demons".

It is impossible to sell more than 25,000 copies, which is beyond the influence of "Angels and Demons", unless Xu Qing has other means.

"General Manager, should we hire some reporters? You know what our newspaper reporters are capable of, so I want to recruit some capable reporters. Johansen said cautiously.

"Recruiting reporters?" Xu Qing rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Now the Carney Newspaper does not need to recruit reporters, and the Carney Newspaper has enough reporters." ”

"Okay. Johansen was reluctant.

Xu Qing saw Johansen's expression, and felt that he couldn't be cold to this capable subordinate, so he drew a big pie and said:

"Don't worry, Johansen, the newspaper is important to me, I will not be satisfied with the size of Carney, I have a complete plan to expand Carney.

You just need to do your current job, and I will give you a satisfactory answer in the future, I am afraid that your ability is not enough, and you will not be able to manage the expanded Carney newspaper at that time. ”

Carney Newspaper is positioned as a Chinese newspaper, but this positioning has very big limitations in the United States, and only recruiting reporters cannot solve this limitation.

Xu Qing's plan for Carney Newspaper is to change its positioning and become a newspaper that faces the whole of the United States, regardless of race, and has a significant impact on the United States.

Relying only on the development and growth of Carney Newspaper itself, Xu Qing may not be able to achieve this goal by giving Xu Qing decades, so Xu Qing's plan is to buy other newspapers, but now Xu Qing has no money.

Later, when he had money, he bought newspapers to strengthen Carney, and this is how Murdoch's News Corp. grew.
