"Bang Bang Bang..."

Andy looks forward with a smile on his face, and does not even pay attention to the reporters who have surrounded his car and beat the window glass desperately. He just naturally drops his hands and clenches them into fists, and then loosens them to ease his inner excitement.

The speech at the press conference surprised all the reporters and talked about everyone's worries about paper media. It was also because a summary made the media feel Andy's confidence and energy in managing paper media publishing well.

This is undoubtedly an exciting breeze in the generally gloomy media circle. No one will ridicule Andy's age and self-sufficiency too much, because the New York Observer, which he bought last year, not only turned a loss into a profit, but also went out of New York state to spread sales to the United States.

It's incredible that the overall sales volume of paper media fell and the market shrank. In the background of the market shrinking, the observer went against the market and stunned everyone's chin. It also swollen the faces of the media and journalists who had mocked Andy Smith.

A special issue made the media and celebrities who had mocked him become the laughingstock of the American people, because the editors of observer, who are famous for their pungent reviews, almost racked their brains and did their best to make mockery. All kinds of hate comments should not be marked on their heads like money.

It also makes people realize that this young man, who is called a genius, will be rewarded.

Now, just now, this 22-year-old young man bought Newsweek with one dollar, which had just completed his 74th birthday and influenced several generations of Americans and reshaped the post-war values of the US empire.

It directly ignited the excitement of all the media at the press conference, which made all the reporters crazy.

One dollar, 22 years old, 74 years old!

These three key words in the Internet developed now, just like the wings, no, should be a number of wings to Washington as the center to all sides, the United States, all "Newsweek" to spread to the country...

"Hello, honey, have you seen Andy Smith's purchase of Newsweek?" Wendy Murdoch sat on the sofa in his living room, watching Fox News Channel, holding the phone, still with a surprised expression on his face.

"Ha ha, just now I know that it's really a fierce young man. It took only one dollar to turn a takeover of a mess into a big news that has attracted the attention of the whole world..."

Wendy Murdoch listened to his husband's explanation. He couldn't help opening and closing his lips. He didn't know what to say.

However, what my husband said is really the same thing. Newsweek's dilemma is not a secret in the industry. Whoever takes over needs to inject money to support the newspaper office for a long time. In the general environment, it may even sink into this quagmire.

But now that dollar, Newsweek, which had been declining in influence, appeared in front of the American people, and occupied the main page of news reports in the way of screen swiping for the next period of time.

"Pa!"

"God! Tell me, it's not because I'm crazy

"Owen, what's the matter with you... God! "

Owen Matthews, an editor who worked in Newsweek for 15 years, watched the headlines on the open web page, and his teacup fell on the floor, speechless.

The next colleague's concerned probe looked at it and was also shocked by the news headlines.

"The newspaper was bought by a dollar..."

I don't know who stood up and shouted in a trembling voice. The atmosphere in the newspaper office, which had been trapped in the weird atmosphere, became more heavy. Everyone felt the depression of the dark clouds. They just remembered who the team of Wall Street heroes stationed in the conference room the other day were and what they were doing!

"Ding!"

"Ding!"

。。。。。。

All the staff of the newspaper sent out an email tone on their computers.

All of them sit quietly in front of the computer and open the email.

"Hello, colleagues of the weekly. I'm Andy Smith, your new boss. I think you've learned about what happened in Washington before through various channels...

With the challenge from the Internet, the American newspaper industry is increasingly entering an unprecedented bottleneck. In the past, newspaper empires were all struggling to find a way out.

What's black and white and it's almost over?

Newspapers!

Although it's ruthless, it's true. As of February this year, the circulation of 507 U.S. daily and evening newspapers dropped by 4.64% in six months. The circulation was only 38.16 million, compared with 40.02 million in the same period last year. According to the statistics of the Newspaper Association of the United States, in the first quarter of 2007, the advertising yield of printed newspapers and online newspapers fell by 18.1 percentage points. This is the six consecutive quarters of advertising revenue downward trend.The economic model of newspaper operation can no longer continue to play a role!

It is unprecedented for the situation to get worse. And many decision makers are not right to deal with this problem. They pay too much attention to the amount of cost input, which will gradually lose the influence of their own products.

My arrival can't change the shrinking trend of the paper media market. Of course, it won't change the tradition of weekly, cut the paper publishing to deflect the electronic publishing.

We are facing great challenges in the future, and I hope that all colleagues will continue to share the same fate with the newspaper as before.

I will stay in Washington for a while, but I believe we will meet soon. Thank you for your hard work.

Andy Smith. "

in the originally quiet office hall, I don't know that it was the female editor who said to herself:" new boss, it's so young, so handsome... "

"Pooh!"

"Don't be crazy about flowers. Look, this is his girlfriend. It's a rich family..."

Then the whole newspaper quickly regained its vitality, and some people gathered together to browse the latest reports.

Although Andy's e-mail can't completely dispel people's concerns, it at least plays a role in stabilizing the army's mind. A boss who is very familiar with the media industry will undoubtedly let the layman who is worried about disappear.

At the same time, all the three major TV stations and cable TV networks in the United States are reporting this event in a centralized way, and even the three major TV stations directly invite guests to the studio for special discussion and analysis.

It is also the first time for the American people to have a clear understanding of the difficulties and irreversible trends faced by the traditional paper media in the United States.

In the 10000 card deluxe suite of CP International Hotel, Andy is smiling and thanking for the number of congratulatory calls.

And Ivana's eyes with the same smile are all narrowed into crescent, with rich expression. She slightly tilts her chin and gently shakes the people on the phone to chat.

At about the same time, they hung up the phone in their hands, looked at each other and smiled. Ivana held Andy's arm tightly and said with a happy smile: "it's crazy. I've received several TV interview calls. The three major TV stations want me to go on their news review program. My God, they know that they can't reach you and focus on me. 。。”

Andy twitches his arm, puts her in his arms, caresses her back, and says with a slight upturned corner of his mouth, "go if you like."

"That's not good." Ivana raised her head and looked at Andy. She said, "there are only two days to prepare for the dinner party, which is the most important thing. I don't have time to attend any TV interview. I will have a discussion with the management in the hotel in the afternoon. After all, the guests invited by the dinner party are not only numerous, but also very important, almost including the whole power center of the United States I need to personally check security or food materials. There can't be any mistakes... "

Andy chuckles and looks at Ivana, who is smiling and blushing with excitement, talking. It seems that the troublesome and trivial things that she says from her mouth are pleasant to her.

I can't help but think of the photos of Ms. Kay in the post showroom that show her control over social circles. Maybe the mood and expression of Ms. Kay at that time when she was preparing for the party were similar to that of Ivana at that time.
