Chapter 231: Reform of the Newspaper
"If you're satisfied, do you want to sign the contract now?"
The lawyer looked at Xi Jin and said flatteringly.
"Yes, I'm sorry for you."
Xi Jin smiled slightly.
When the lawyer heard this, he hurriedly took out a contract from his briefcase.
"Xisheng, you can take a look at the contract first."
"If there's nothing wrong, you can just sign the contract."
The lawyer said to Xi Jin.
Xi Jin nodded, and then picked up the contract and looked at it carefully.
After carefully checking it several times, I found that there were no pitfalls, so I picked up the pen and signed the contract.
"Congratulations Xisheng, as long as you remit the money to the account indicated on the contract, this newspaper will officially be yours."
The lawyer smiled at Xi Jin and said.
"Ah Wu, call Madame and ask her to help me transfer the money."
Xi Jin commanded to Brother Jiaqian.
"Yes, boss."
Brother Jia Qian nodded, picked up the eldest brother and called Ding Yao.
Although the boss did not say which lady, only Mrs. Ding could be responsible for finance and housekeeping.
"Thank you Xisheng for your cooperation."
"Is there anything else you can help with?"
The lawyer looked at Xi Jin and asked respectfully.
"Nope."
Xi Jin shook his head and said.
"Then I won't disturb Xisheng's time for now."
The lawyer picked up the briefcase and bowed slightly, and then left the office to deal with other formalities.
Xi Jin walked to the glass wall behind the desk and took a look, although the floor is too low to have a view of Yau Tsim Wang, but the view is not bad, and it is very good to look at the outside scenery when I am tired of work.
When Brother Jia Qian was on the phone with Ding Yao, Xi Jin walked out of this private office.
"Can you please call everyone at the newspaper office to the conference room for a meeting?"
"If you're out there to gather news, don't bother them."
Sijin commanded with a slight smile at one of the employees closest to him.
"Ahh Okay old fine. ”
The female employee was suddenly patted by the handsome new boss and said a little nervously.
"Then I'm bothering you."
Xi Jin smiled slightly.
"No, no, that's what I'm supposed to do."
The female employee hurriedly said.
Xi Jin nodded, and went to the conference room to wait for the newspaper staff to come in for a meeting.
"Ah Cai, do you do it?"
"Could it be that I am looking for you to spend the night together?"
Another female employee, who was sitting not far away, walked over curiously and asked.
"No, Lao Xi is not such a person, and how can people look up to our class of workers."
Ah Cai blushed and said, although she can be regarded as the best-looking girl in this newspaper, but the new boss has no desire to look at her at all, and he doesn't seem to appreciate her beauty, it is completely the feeling of facing ordinary people.
But this can't be blamed on Xi Jin, after all, there are too many beauties around him, and a girl with more than eighty points like A Cai is considered a goddess-level existence among ordinary people, but it's a pity that Xi Jin is surrounded by peerless beauties with more than ninety points.
"Ah Cai, you're panicking."
The female employee teased at Ah Cai.
"Don't talk nonsense, you'll be done when you hear it."
"Let's go to the conference room, I want to have a meeting."
Ah Cai didn't continue to chat with her, and said hurriedly.
"Okay, okay."
The female employee shook her head and walked towards the conference room.
Ah Cai went to call all the others into the conference room at the same time.
A few minutes later, about 30 employees were all in the conference room.
"Hello everyone, since this is the first time you have met me, I will introduce myself first."
"I'm your new and old friend, Xijin, I'm twenty years old this year, and I already have a girlfriend."
Xi Jin looked at the employees under his hand and smiled slightly.
Many employees heard that their new boss was only twenty years old and had already labeled him as a rich second generation in their hearts, while female employees heard that the boss had a girlfriend and their eyes dimmed, but they quickly recovered, after all, the gap was too big, and they didn't have any expectations.
"It's my first time at the newspaper and I have no work experience at all."
"I don't know a lot about the majors, so it's good that you just follow the original work plan."
"I don't get too involved in newspaper affairs."
Xi Jin said slowly.
After hearing this promise, many employees were a little relieved.
What they are most worried about is that after the new boss takes office, he will either lay off employees or make foolish mistakes, and he will still be indiscriminately directing and reorganizing without knowing anything, so that he is afraid that it will not be long before the newspaper will go bankrupt, and they will not have to work.
But now it seems that this boss is still a little self-aware, and he didn't think that he was overpowered, and he messed around with the newspaper.
"But there are two things that need to be reformed about our newspaper."
Xi Jin stretched out two fingers and smiled slightly.
"First, I need to temporarily reduce the price of each newspaper to two yuan a copy."
"I need to grab the news market quickly."
Xi Jin said to the employees, the current market price of the newspaper is five yuan a copy, and he has basically given up a lot of profits by reducing the price so hard, and may have to subsidize a little to go in.
However, this time will not last long, as long as he can stand in the press, he will revert to the price of five yuan a piece.
The employees didn't react too much when they heard it, after all, it wasn't their own money, the boss liked to throw money to expand the influence of the newspaper, and they were happy to do so, and the newspaper could be famous, and they, the reporters and editors, would naturally be famous.
"Second, about the layout of the newspaper."
"From tomorrow onwards, ads will not be allowed on the front page."
"Try to put as large images and news headlines as possible on the front page, and it needs to be all printed in color."
"By the way, the content is a little more concise, and try to colloquialize it so that there is always a sea of words."
Xi Jin said slowly.
In this era, the front pages of newspapers were almost always advertisements, especially those of real estate developers, and the writing was too formal to look dull.
So if he reformed it like this, their newspaper would soon be able to attract a large number of young people and working people, after all, young people like new things, and working people don't have time to read that sea of words.
His reform method is completely to copy the Poison Fruit Daily, which was born and rose rapidly a few years later, and take the path of this Poison Fruit Daily, just copy the homework directly, and by the way, let him have no way out in the future.
"Lao Xi, what will we make if we don't advertise?"
A veteran employee of the media industry frowned slightly and asked, the most profitable thing for their newspaper is advertising, and without advertising, it will basically lose money.
"It's not that you don't hit it, it's that you don't play it on the front page, just insert it in the news on the next few pages."
"There's no need to put it on the front page, after all, people don't buy newspapers to read advertisements."
Nishijin explained.
