"Di -"

when the mobile phone rings the prompt tone of receiving the email, Andy opens it for a look and says to Martin, the safety supervisor in the co pilot's position, "go directly to the Los Angeles Times headquarters."

"All right, boss." When Martin responded, he reached down and pressed the headset on his ear, and began to inform all the vehicles to change their destinations.

That's right. Andy is going to uncover Warren Buffett's layout in advance. As for whether it's coincidence or Warren Buffett's digging layout, it doesn't matter to Andy now. What he does now is to expose it for everyone to see and think about.

Andy is very looking forward to the reaction of Jeffrey brotmann, founder and chairman of Costco, and Jim sinagar, co-founder. When they read the contents of the newspaper, do they wake up and sweat?

The board of directors of their own company has almost become a sieve. No, it's not a sieve. It's surrounded by groups. Only waiting for someone to shout for acquisition, they will create and strive for a career that will become someone else's!

As for coincidence, the conjectures of these people are just conjectures, and they didn't make any adverse decisions to Costco. That's idealistic. I believe that the two co founders, Jeffrey brotmann and Jim synegal, will adjust the board of directors regardless of whether they are wronged. Maybe they will dissolve the existing board of directors and re elect.

The news is not to harm others or not to benefit oneself. Andy will be the biggest beneficiary. First, Warren Buffett can be forced to give up the acquisition of Costco. Second, as soon as the news is released, Costco's share price will inevitably soar, which will make money. Third, after all aspects are clarified, the acquisition rumors are proved to be false, and the share price will inevitably fall, which will rise and fall Stock price difference, you can make a good profit!

The Los Angeles Times building is close to the city hall and has a history of more than 130 years. The building has a stable and atmospheric appearance, and the hall is decorated with gorgeous decoration. In the middle is a huge globe. The arrival of Andy, the big boss, will naturally disturb the whole Los Angeles Times. After all, as the big boss, Andy has rarely come to the newspaper office.

"What causes the paper crisis?"

In the meeting room of the times, Andy looked at all the management of the newspaper with a light smile, and asked lightly. However, he didn't mean to let everyone in the room to answer, because he knew that he could not hear any novel answers.

"Many people think that it is the Internet reading and mobile reading formed by the development of information technology, especially the Internet and mobile Internet. Indeed, internet reading has taken away a lot of users, including the development of other new media, such as network video screen, mobile TV, and so on.

But if we think that the reason for the crisis is just that Internet technology has brought more convenient reading, it may be superficial, because for paper media, it will not be too difficult to move from paper to the Internet, from paper to electronic. Haven't we also done it?

Although some people emphasize the mysterious "Internet gene" theory, and many paper media began to try various transformations to the so-called new media many years ago, why are there few successful ones? "

Andy's eyes have become sharp at this time. From his acquisition of the Los Angeles Times to his investment in a better operation of the Los Angeles Times, it is not eccentric. After all, it is the largest national newspaper in his hands. However, the results given by the newspaper did not satisfy him, but the money was not spent less, which made Andy a little unhappy. He is not a wrongdoer Big head!

When he came to deliver the news, he just knocked. If he didn't look good, Andy would have to raise his butcher's knife and cut the Los Angeles Times.

"That's because the problem is not just the change of media. In my opinion, the real or primary crisis of paper media is the content crisis, that is, the content lacks value and attraction, so users do not need paper media. Or, looking at the same low-value content, users will choose the relatively lower cost, even free, and more convenient Internet, mobile internet reading.

Look at today's newspapers. When you open up several urban newspapers in a city, you will see that the content is highly identical, just like it was discussed and published after a few words were changed. If the work can be so simple, what's the use of keeping so many senior journalists and editors? Just find a few Internet editors. What's more, the newspapers are messy and common What do you want in the newspaper? Waste ink, occupy a place? ! "

at this time, Andy's voice has been raised, and his face has become stern. His eyes are sharp and cold, scanning the faces of everyone from the editor in chief to the senior editor of the newspaper. These people dare not to show a moment, and look down to listen to the young boss's reprimand. They are also the first time to deeply feel the severity and anger of their young boss.

"Today's most successful news business model has told us that we must meet the needs of reading and subscribing customers. For the most successful transformation companies, this means investing in core content and products to meet the paying readers, rather than in speculating on a stronger new business line of Xing.

The most important thing is that business transformation needs press room transformation! "As soon as Andy said this, John Carroll, the editor in chief who had bowed his head and was silent, looked up and said, "no! The newsroom can't be transformed. We can't really become a entertainment gossip newspaper! "

Andy is very respectful to the editor in chief who helped the times get 13 Pulitzer News Awards. Although he refused his proposal directly, he was not angry about it. Andy still has this mind.

"Ha ha, OK, John, since you think that the newsroom can do well without transformation, I'll wait and see. However, the film and television of media group have been reorganized and integrated. Next is the resource integration and reform of newspaper. I hope to build a huge content network based on a large amount of free and cheap content with the integrated resources.

What's more, according to my knowledge, there are many problems in the Los Angeles Times. When I sent people to investigate, there were many people who said that they could not talk about it before the union voted to solve it. Ha ha, it's really interesting. In this case, let them find a job Union to get their salary! "

Andy's words suddenly changed the faces of all the people present. Some of them were white, some were as gloomy as water, and most of them were frightened. The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly fell to the freezing point. They knew that they had been regarded as the Savior of "dawn" by the newspaper office, and finally they would raise the butcher's knife!

"Ha ha, I don't know. It's a surprise. As one of the most important news organizations in the United States, the Los Angeles Times, which has won 44 Pulitzer Prizes for many years, has more than 400 news editors in the dark. Most editors even obey the orders of the trade union and say what to wait for the union to vote, so they refuse to cooperate with the investigators sent by my boss... Interesting. It's really interesting. Can you think that if the union votes to fire my boss, they will unite to fire me?

I'd like to ask you who owns this newspaper, Andy Smith or the union? In such a bad environment, I would like to ask everyone here, who is in charge? "

At this time, Andy's face was only covered with cold and frosty sneer, his eyes were like sharp knife points, scanning the conference room, his faces turned pale. He clapped his hands on the conference table, stood up, leaned forward, his eyes became more cold, and his voice said coldly: "since I carry my rice bowl but obey others, I will smash their rice bowl Get out of my way, the world will run without anyone. This is my newspaper, Andy Smith's newspaper! "
