Chapter 114: Reader's Digest
Looking at Monet's excited back, Nicole sighed and said to Casey beside her: "Casey, I feel that it is getting harder and harder for me to keep Tony, and now that he has more and more women, I feel that there is likely to be another Christina!" ”
"Mr. is so good, this is also something that can't be helped!" Casey persuaded from the side.
Just when Nicole and Casey were sighing, Monet had already driven to the café and saw Christina excitedly asking, "Tina, did you really decide to stay in New York and not leave?" ”
Christina nodded vigorously and replied, "Well, don't go!" But then he teased: "But I heard that boss, you have recently hired a particularly beautiful lady Catherine, I don't know if you want me." ”
"What you said, how could you not want to!" Monet hurriedly assured.
Christina pursed her lips and smiled and said, "But don't worry, boss, I won't embarrass you, because I have found a new direction of development, and no one has ever done it!" ”
"Oh? What is the new direction of development? Monet asked curiously.
Christina thought for a moment, and then replied: "This is a bit complicated to say, my idea is that the subject matter of major magazines is relatively simple, and most people don't have so much money, so it is impossible to afford every one, so if we publish a magazine, the essence of these common magazines is blended together, so that readers buy one magazine is equivalent to buying ten or more magazines, then it will definitely be very popular."
From our point of view, this kind of reprinted content only needs to give a little money to the first issue, so that we can also save a lot of manuscript fees, so I think this development direction will definitely be good! ”
In fact, when Christina was just halfway through speaking, Monet had already reacted, because this is the "Reader's Digest" that he often read in middle school, and many friends may not know it, in fact, "Reader's Digest" is an American magazine, not domestic, and it became popular in the environment of the economic crisis in 1929, because everyone was poor at that time and couldn't afford to buy so many magazines, so digest magazines began to be widely popular, but in the new century, due to the change in the way everyone reads, Digest magazines began to fall cold, and even Reader's Digest filed for bankruptcy in 2009......
Although the economic crisis has not yet arrived, there are still many poor people in general, so Monet thinks that this kind of digest magazine should have a good prospect, so he nodded in approval: "Well, I think your idea is good, especially since we are the first to establish Digest, so we should be able to occupy a certain early advantage when negotiating with various magazines......
"Wait a minute, boss, what did you just say? Abstract? Christina interrupted suddenly.
At this time, Monet realized that he was careless and actually said "Digest", you must know that there is no specific name for this genre now.
Fortunately, Christina then said: "This name is quite accurate, so let's just call it Digest!" Why don't you give me a name, boss? ”
Monet thought that he had already missed everything anyway, so it was better to simply use it all, so he pretended to think about it for a while and said: "Since this kind of magazine is for the convenience of readers and to save readers money, then simply call it "Reader's Digest"!" ”
"Good name, then this new magazine is called Reader's Digest!" Christina chimed in.
Monet thought for a moment, and then said: "Tina, since you came up with this idea, then you will be responsible for it in the future, and I will try my best to meet all the manpower and funds or other resources that are needed!" ”
"Leave it to me?" Christina asked incredulously.
"That's right, it's up to you, I'm very confident in your ability!" The reason why Monet said this is because Christina almost took on nearly half of the work at the beginning of "Comet", so Monet was so reluctant when she resigned, and now since she is willing to come back, and she has come up with the idea of the digest like a genius, then Monet naturally wants to give her a platform to show, of course, if she develops into her own woman, it will be more reassuring......
After calming down her excitement, Christina said, "Boss, since you are willing to give me this opportunity, then I will do a good job!" However, in order not to affect the normal operation of "Comet" and "Playboy", I think it is better for "Reader's Digest" to recruit new people, and when the time comes to sign reprint contracts with various magazines, you have to rely on the boss's connections, so as to keep the reprint cost as low as possible. ”
"This must be no problem, after all, I'm the boss, this is saving me money!" Monet agreed without hesitation.
"The First Evolution"
"Okay, then I'll go back and draft the recruitment materials!" After saying that, Christina stood up and went to work in a hurry.
After she left, Jessica walked over with a cup of coffee and teased, "It seems that Christina can't run this time!" ”
"That's right, she said that she would stay in New York in the future, and she has already followed the big stall of "Reader's Digest", so she definitely can't leave!" Monet pretended to be confused.
Jessica glanced at Monet and said coquettishly, "You know I didn't mean that!" Forget it, it's your business with her, but I have to say a word for Daniela, people have been waiting for you for so long, why don't you give someone an explanation? ”
"What's the explanation?" Monet was really a little confused this time.
"What else can you explain? Of course, you can't accept others. Jessica reminded.
Monet explained with some embarrassment: "This is mainly because I think it's a bit of a robbery, so I ......"
But before he could finish speaking, Jessica interrupted: "How can this be called robbery while the fire is hot, Daniela has been prepared for a long time, don't think nonsense!" With that, Jessica pulled Monet up.
So Monet had no choice but to shout: "Wait a minute, I'll call Nicole, I won't go back tonight!" ”
And Nicole, who received the call, sighed to Casey beside her, "Hey, it seems that I guessed right!" ”
In fact, although Nicole guessed the wrong person, she guessed the right thing......
PS: I suddenly found that there are now a lot of anchors on Douyin who push books and even teach people to write books, which makes me a little itchy, not to mention anything else, I still have no problem with guiding me to write the beginning!
