"Although Time Magazine has only been established for less than half a year, we have achieved a great deal, even compared to our peers, which is even a brilliant achievement, of course, thanks to the leadership of Mr. Samuel and Mr. Sammy, but also to the hard work of all employees - here, as the General Manager of the Kufner Group, I would like to express my sincere gratitude and my highest respect to all of you. "www.biquge.infoHenry also has a set of words when he talks about it, although this is suspected of making up the number of words, but this is an essential procedure, and it can't start to give out awards as soon as it comes up, which does not have the best effect."

"As for those two cars, I'm sure everyone is curious about who will be awarded them, and first of all, I want to explain that those two cars will be awarded to the two employees who have performed the best in the past year, not the two people with the highest positions." Henry doesn't sell off, and immediately cuts to the point.

It's the end of the year, and everyone is very busy, and there is no time to say clichés, so leave them to the copy editors of Time Magazine to say in the newspaper.

"As you all know, two months ago, there was a serious violent incident in front of the city hall, and we at Time magazine got the first hand information about the latest developments in this violent incident, and finally dismissed the unstoppable Twedra, in this incident, Mr. Dick Ackerman, a photojournalist from the Social Press Department, reacted the fastest, he not only photographed the scene of the violence, but also handed the press release to the Ministry of Social Information as quickly as possible. So our first car was to be awarded to Mr. Dick Ackerman, because he was the fastest man, and we needed that speed, and Time magazine was all about getting the latest news to its readers as quickly as possible, so the 1873 prize for best journalism belonged to Mr. Dick Ackerman! Henry used the DJ's tone to announce the winner of the first car and invited Dick Ackerman to his side to personally present the trophy to Dick Ackerman.

That's right, at Time magazine's year-end wrap-up meeting, the world's first journalism award was officially born.

Without Li Mu's intervention, the first award in journalism, the Pulitzer Prize, would have been established in 1917 at the behest of American newspaper magnate Joseph Pulitzer, and in the seventies and eighties of the twentieth century, it would have successfully developed into one of the highest honors in American journalism. By the 21st century, the ever-improving selection system had made the Pulitzer Prize a global award, known as the "Nobel Prize of Journalism".

Time Magazine's journalism award will definitely not be called the "Pulitzer Prize", but the "Times News Prize", and Li Mu would like to replace the Pulitzer Prize and become the "Nobel Prize in journalism".

Speaking of the "Nobel Prize", this award should not have been established yet, now Nobel is not dead, he is building his explosives factory all over the world, and it will not be established until 1895.

Since Li Mu was born, then it is estimated that there will be no Nobel Prize, Li Mu is going to Boston tomorrow to set up a "horse award" in Boston to reward those scientists who have made major inventions in the past year.

Well, in terms of money, Li Mu is definitely richer than Nobel, so Li Mu is very generous and will prepare a generous bonus for each winner, using this to increase the exposure of Junma Group.

Of course, limited to the current conditions, whether it is the "Times News Award" or the "Junma Award", the winners will be limited to the ZAMA Group, at least until next year, this award will be expanded outside the ZAMA Group.

"It's unbelievable, I thought those two cars would belong to Mr. Samuel and Mr. Sammy—" Dick Ackerman was giving his acceptance speech, holding a glittering quilt in his hand, and Dick Ackerman was at a loss for what to do.

The base of the trophy of the "Times News Award" is made of crystal, and the top is a gold-plated BMW triangular logo, the value of the trophy is secondary, the key is the value of this honor.

Why do people live?

It depends on the needs of the individual, if it is relatively short of money, then or just to earn money, if there is no financial trouble because of contentment, then honor is the goal of life.

The salary of Time Magazine is still quite good, and in the New York press industry, Time Magazine's treatment belongs to the top part of the pyramid, so the employees of Time Magazine are not short of money in comparison, so honor is the best way to stimulate Time Magazine employees.

If a journalist can win such an award in his career, it is enough to be the pride of his life, and for Dick Ackerman, this is the first journalist ever to receive such an honor, so the memory is truly precious.

Such a precious moment must be recorded, as a newspaper, "Times News" is the most important thing is a camera, so someone immediately moved the camera, ready to record all this forever.

When taking the photo, Dick Ackerman is in the center of the photo, Li Mu and Henry stand on either side of Dick Ackerman, Samuel and Sammy stand on the outside, this way of standing is very humanistic, regardless of position, no matter how much wealth, in this occasion, Dick Ackerman is the most conspicuous one.

After the group photo, Dick Ackerman had to take another solo photo, and then the first award was awarded.

After some warm-up, the atmosphere in the conference room was obviously warm, and everyone was looking forward to the next surprise that would befall them.

Henry wasted no time and immediately proceeded to the second item: "Before the second prize is presented, I would like to introduce you to a talented cartoonist, who may already be known to many people, but we will have to get acquainted with him again, and I have our Mr. Thomas Nast. ”

The applause burst into waves, and Thomas Nast's award was clearly more convincing than that of Dick Ackerman.

Thomas Nast was originally a reporter for "Hapol Weekly", which is a long-established and prestigious magazine, after Li Mu founded "Time Magazine", he dug Thomas Nast from "Hapol Weekly" to "Time Magazine", and in the process of launching a public opinion attack on Tweed, Thomas Nast's cartoons played a key role, Tweed once said indignantly: "I don't mind what the newspaper scolds me, because my supporters are illiterate, but they can read comics, damn it!" ”

"I believe I don't need to introduce more, many people know Mr. Thomas Nast, after all, our honest and cute elephant and that ugly and stupid donkey are so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the nest door thanks to Mr. Thomas Nast, his brushes have unparalleled magic, because of Mr. Thomas Nast's excellent imagination, the sales of our Time magazine have increased by at least 20%, so I am now honored to announce that Mr. Thomas Nast has won the Best Comics Award this year." Henry took the lead in applauding and congratulating Thomas Nast.

Time has never hidden its political leanings, and from the first day of its birth, Time has been a staunch supporter of the Republican Party, so in Henry's mouth, the elephant representing the Republican Party is naturally cuter than the donkey representing the Democratic Party.

That's right, the cartoons of donkeys and elephants were made by Thomas Nast.

And Thomas Nast's masterpiece is not only a donkey and an elephant, under Thomas Nast's brush, the much-maligned Tambani Society has become a fierce tiger, the United States of America has become the famous Uncle Sam, Thomas Nast also created a chubby, smiling red-nosed Santa Claus, yes, the Santa Claus we often see.

"I'm grateful—" Thomas Nast probably never thought that drawing comics could reach the pinnacle of his life, so he just said one word, and Thomas Nast choked up speechlessly.

"Thomas, you deserve it." Henry gave Thomas Nast a warm hug.

After another toss, it was finally time to divide the money.

Henry smiled and picked up a list, and after a cursory glance, he immediately exclaimed in disbelief: "Tsk, you must not know how generous our dear Mr. President is, ah, Mr. Dick Ackerman, may I ask you about your salary each month?" ”

In Western society, it is a very presumptuous thing to ask someone about their salary, and the salary is as much a part of personal privacy as the mole on one's buttocks.

Dick Ackerman probably didn't expect that he still had a role, so he forgot to hide it: "Of course, Mr. General Manager, my salary is set by you, so I don't mind telling you-"

Dick Ackerman has a sense of humor and has a good reputation for winning laughter with one sentence: "I get about $60 a week, and I get $10 a month for meals and $20 for transportation, so I get about $270 a month." ”

$270 a month, an enviable figure if you're in the country, but in New York, it's not a very high salary.

Of course, compared to other newspapers, this salary is already very good, so although Time Magazine has been established for less than a year, it has concentrated almost all the elites of New York journalism.

"Well, $270, that's not too high or too low, and if you save a little, it's still possible to buy an apartment in Manhattan." Henry deliberately dug the pit.

"I'm afraid it's hard sir, I'm going to have to go without food or drink for about five years before I can buy an apartment in Manhattan." Dick Ackerman had little hope.

As the center of New York, Manhattan is still relatively high.

"Well, now you can breathe a sigh of relief, because our dear Mr. President has shortened this time for you to two years, if you can still get the same reward next year as this year." Henry unravels the mystery.

Two years!

In other words, Dick Ackerman's year-end bonus is equivalent to a year's and a half of his salary.
