Chapter 0034: Opportunity
In the UK, the Sun tends to sell best, and the glamorous ladies on the pages are easy to motivate readers, while the Times and The Guardian have their own set of audiences.
As for the "Mirror", the sales volume has always been relatively poor, and the huge United Kingdom, with a population of 50 or 60 million, only sells a little more than 1 million copies a year, which is equivalent to about 30,000 copies a day.
The newspaper's sales are not good, which also makes the newspaper's treatment and benefits not good. However, Catherine Gloria still values this job more. After studying in the UK for a few years, she has already seen the gap between her home country Poland and the UK.
But today, Catherine Gloria came to the newsstand, but she didn't see the Mirror. She thought it hadn't been put out, so she said to the newsstand owner, "Boss, have a mirror newspaper!" ”
Seeing a delicate beauty who wanted to buy a newspaper, the boss had the heart to agree, but there was really no stock, so he had to say: "I'm sorry, Miss, it's sold out!" Or a copy of The Times or The Guardian? ”
Catherine Gloria was very surprised by the boss's answer and asked again, "Sold out?" ”
The boss was also confused, and said: "Yes, it's really weird today, everyone is rushing to buy the mirror newspaper, especially the fans of Manchester United, some of them almost robbed others." ”
Listening to the boss's words, Catherine Gloria was stunned for a moment, and then a burst of surprise swelled up: Is it because of the report she wrote?
………………
To confirm her suspicions, Catherine Gloria turned and left the newsstand and walked towards the Mirror's headquarters in Manchester.
In the past, colleagues would either not be in the office at the moment, or they would be sleepy-eyed and listless sitting in the office waiting for work, but today, when Catherine Gloria walked in, she found that everyone in the office was happily discussing something.
As soon as she saw Catherine Gloria come in, her colleagues immediately greeted her one by one and started talking.
"Catherine, that's amazing! You know? Your exclusive insider has sold out our newspapers this morning! ”
"yes, where did you dig up the inside story?"
'Is Marcus really unhappy with the conditions offered by Manchester United? Will he leave Manchester United because of this? ”
……
The Eastern European girl felt helpless about the many questions from her colleagues, because she didn't know either.
But she clearly felt how much attention that little liar was in the city now.
Although more than half of the people in the city are Manchester City fans, after reporting his dissatisfaction with Manchester United, there is no doubt that many Manchester City fans think that this is an opportunity for Manchester City.
After all, the last thing that is lacking in Manchester City is money. What an exciting thing it is to poach such a talented young man from his sworn enemy.
Especially since Manchester City once missed that little liar, Manchester City fans naturally want a chance to make amends.
As far as Catherine Gloria knows, most of the colleagues in the office are Manchester City fans, but they are clearly thinking about it so enthusiastically now.
………………
Just as Catherine Gloria was secretly slandering, two dry coughs were heard, and Chambers, the boss of the office, came over.
When everyone saw it, they immediately dispersed and returned to their respective positions to do things.
Chambers was in a good mood, and he didn't say much about his lazy chats, and it wasn't time to officially go to work anyway.
He walked up to Catherine Gloria and said with a smile, "Well done, Catherine! ”
This beauty was recruited by him personally, and when he recruited her, in addition to being a graduate of Lancaster University, he also valued her beauty.
For an industry like a journalist, appearance is also very important, after all, this is a face-watching society, and having good appearance conditions occupies an innate advantage.
What's more, being able to work with a beautiful woman is also a pleasing thing to the eye, isn't it?
And this girl didn't disappoint him, she only joined the newspaper office for more than a month, and she got such a big news.
As a Manchester City fan, although he is a little unhappy that his neighbor has produced such an excellent young player, Chambers also knows very well how popular that kid has been in England and even the world recently.
No way, who called that kid to perform so magically in the first two games, throughout the entire history of football, I'm afraid it is difficult to find a newcomer comparable to him.
In fact, last night's insistence that Catherine Gloria report the news was also intended to block the city's sworn enemy. And the current response makes him even more overjoyed.
This is simply killing two birds with one stone, not only filling the mess for Manchester United, but also greatly increasing the sales of the Mirror.
Chambers looked at the Polish beauty in front of him, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and asked, "By the way, Catherine, is there any further news?" This is very important, and now readers are very much looking forward to our further revelations, and we need further exclusive insider information to stimulate them. ”
According to his preliminary estimates, today's inside story has at least doubled the sales of the "Mirror", and if there is another fierce news, the sales will continue to increase.
But for a newspaper, the most important thing is to continue to provide readers with some exclusive news reports, otherwise readers will be poached by other newspapers sooner or later.
………………
Catherine Gloria remembered what had happened between herself and Rashford yesterday, and her ears were slightly red, and she said, "Not for the time being, why don't I interview him again?" ”
Originally, Chambers was still a little dissatisfied with Catherine's answer, but after a little muttering, he clapped his hands vigorously and said, "Okay, hurry up, it's better to get an interview, and if you can't do it, you have to have a photo, so that we can make the front page headlines tomorrow!" ”
With that, Chambers called two more people in the office and ordered, "Jason, Brown, you go with Catherine and help her!" ”
Jason and Brown are both old reporters and employees of the newspaper, and in terms of seniority, they are above Catherine Gloria, but now they are transferred by the boss to help Catherine Gloria, which makes them very dissatisfied, and they are scolding and scolding while walking to the parking lot.
"Fake, why is she?"
"In my opinion, she must have a leg with the boss, otherwise why does the boss value her so much?"
"It didn't take long to give the front page headlines, isn't it clear that you want to make her popular?"
"Just, let's give her a fuck, what a fuck!"
