Chapter 296: Drew
Li Mochen didn't feel the resignation of the two at all, and agreed on the spot.
One of them is Mr. Bartram, the current general manager of Richard Publishing, and the other is the editor-in-chief of the publishing department of the publishing house. For Richard Press's two consecutive years of high losses, these two are to blame.
Of course, the main reason is their predecessors, but the fact that neither of them has been able to turn the situation around after two years in office also shows that they are no longer suitable for this publishing house.
In Li Mochen's view, the only thing that this publishing house has some combat effectiveness is the editorial team of the Atlanta Labor Standard. There are about twelve people in total, small and capable, which Li Mochen must keep.
He noticed that the small newspaper's subscribers, which had grown over the past three years, had increased by 13,000 copies, and that it was the only department that could maintain a balance of payments.
It's just that in the next situation, Li Mochen has a headache again.
He bought the publishing house in order to publish his comics and to gain the power to influence public opinion in Atlanta.
The former is good to say, it is nothing more than to apply for a publication number of his comics, print and publish, and the sales channels here are all over Georgia and surrounding cities. However, Li Mochen also saw that there was no one who could take charge of the situation on the publishing house's side, and the editor-in-chief of the publishing house who resigned may be the only one who has the ability to do so.
Then there is the Atlanta Workers' Daily, Li Mochen hopes that the newspaper's sales can continue to grow, and is even willing to invest heavily in it.
However, after talking with the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, he found that the editor-in-chief was not motivated enough, and he was the kind of character who was a little rich and peaceful, and in addition, he had no experience in publications, which made Li Mochen completely dispel the idea of promoting this person to the general manager of the publishing house.
Therefore, if he wants to improve the publishing business of the publishing house and expand the territory of the daily newspaper of the Laborer, he must find a suitable person at the helm. I don't know if those headhunters can find someone who suits his heart.
At this time, Li Mochen received a phone call, it was Ms. Isolt, the comptroller of Atlanta.
"Andrey, you're at war with Yvekadivon right now, haven't you? I heard he's been beaten up by you?"
"It was just a little bit of a start and he seriously underestimated me. ”
Regarding the purpose of Isolt's call, Li Mochen has already understood it: "I guess he must have asked Ms. Isolt to come here?"
"They begged me for half an hour and promised to donate to several charitable foundations that I had designated. ”
Lady Isolt laughed, "But I haven't promised him yet, is that okay?" Andre. ”
"Yes ma'am, as long as I can achieve my goal, I don't have to kill them all. ”
Li Mochen felt that he was respected: "But the conditions I gave him before are no longer suitable, except for the previous stores, I hope he will give up the jewelry store again." ”
"Jewelry, I'm guessing Ms. Lillard won't be happy if you're going to do this business, Edwards Jewelry Company just paid a lot of money to sign you. ”
Ms. Isolt said with a deep meaning: "If you want to increase the terms of the talks, I suggest that you ask him for a stake in the Georgia Post, which few people know knows that has always owned 14.5 percent of the shares of the Georgia Post through an offshore company. ”
"The Georgia Post?"
Li Mochen's pupils lit up, this is a newspaper with good sales. Although Li Mochen has not done anything about it, he can see the Georgia Post everywhere on the streets of Atlanta.
"It seems that the stake is a little less, and I can influence the position of the Post, right?"
"Of course, this can help you seize a controlling stake in this post. ”
Ms. Isolt said in a calm tone that made Li Mochen feel inexplicably surprised: "Mr. Mottdole, the other major shareholder of the newspaper, holds 39% of the shares of the Georgia Post. He has moved to the West Coast and has only been held by the effects of certain relationships. But at the end of the year, at most, he will transfer this part of the shares. And this gentleman has always been a close friend of the Isolt family. ”
"You have flattered me, ma'am, and I am immensely grateful for your trust. ”
Li Mochen knew the friendship and weight contained in these words.
"It's because of your luck that so far, we haven't been able to find the right person to take over the Georgia Post. And then you pop up."
Ms. Isolt sighed: "No matter the image, life experience, financial resources, and military force, all aspects meet the requirements, who else can I choose if I don't choose you?" But Andre, the Richard publishing house you bought now has no suitable manager, right?"
Li Mochen's heart moved slightly, realizing that this should be the condition proposed by Ms. Isolt.
"Originally, there was a general manager, but he has already submitted his resignation letter to me today, and I am now having a headache about it. I've heard that Ms. Isolt used to be the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, can you recommend one to me, preferably a little more capable. ”
"I really think so. ”
Ms. Isolt chuckled and suggested, "Have you ever heard of Ms. Nannett Drew? Just three months ago, she was the political editor of the Abraham Post, and as far as I know, she is still at home and has no plans to look for another job, so I thought you could try it." The woman's influence is enormous, and her interpretation of current events and political commentary has many loyal readers across the country. I think her name alone can bring you 350,000 subscriptions to your newspaper. ”
Li Mochen had never heard of Nannett Drew, but the name Abraham Post still made his pupils constrict.
Abraham is the capital of America, and the Abraham Post is one of the most prestigious and influential newspapers in America. The newspaper even made a name for itself decades ago by forcing a president to step down.
The political section is undoubtedly the most important page of the Abraham Post.
"This is a big shot. ”
Li Mochen's voice was incredulous: "But my Richard Publishing House is just a small publishing house with negative assets, can this make her condescend?"
"If the publishing house could buy the Georgia Post, it would be a big deal. The Georgia Post has 500,000 subscriptions and millions of copies sold in Georgia, and 120,000 loyal readers in Atlanta. ”
Then Ms. Isolt said the most critical situation: "Ms. Drew has always wanted to enter politics, but Abraham does not have her place for the time being, and your publishing house can provide her with a pedal, a platform." If she could take the helm of a publishing house with millions of readers, it would only take five years for her to gain a strong influence in Georgia politics. ”
"I'll extend the invitation, and if Ms. Drew really wants to be at Richard's Publishing, it's my pleasure. ”
Li Mochen is already excited, the key is that this can allow him to master a media company that is not weak.
After making this call, Li Mochen smiled and beckoned, and let Mr. Edmund Bedman, who was watching him not far away, come over.
"Mr. Bedman, I think you can get off work on my side. The war is over, and you can go ahead and find the Demon Wolf. ”
