Andy and his group of more than ten people stepped into the New York Observer newspaper and attracted the attention of all newspaper employees.
Lawyer Nelson and financial manager David formed a temporary acquisition team, leading several of his staff to have roughly estimated the assets of observer based on all available information. Andy had seen it on the way here.
Andy hopes to cut through the mess quickly and win the Observer today, so he takes the acquisition team with him. Once it's settled with Yasser Carter, he immediately signs a contract to pay for it, completes the acquisition and puts the acquisition team in the New York Observer.
Pitkaplan looked at Andy and his party who walked to the newspaper boss's office with complicated eyes. He turned around and shouted, "look, go to work!"
Arthur Carter's secretary saw Otton smith coming up with a group of people in suits, standing up and smiling.
"Good morning, Annie. Is Mr. Yasser Carter here?" Asked Osten with a smile.
"Good morning, Mr. Smith. Mr. Carter has come. He said that when you come, you can go straight in. Who are these? " Anne replied with a smile.
Oston didn't introduce Andy to them, but said he had made an appointment with Mr. Yasser Carter.
As soon as Andy faces the sun and smiles, Annie, the female secretary, feels familiar and doesn't recognize it for a while. After all, Andy is wearing a pair of black frame glasses today.
Andy turns around and asks the bodyguards and the acquisition team to wait outside in the lounge, then follows Austin and Anne, the Secretary, into Arthur Carter's office.
Yasser Carter's office decoration is very luxurious. Two red solid wood doors go into the rest area on the left. A group of black and white geometric sofas with clear water chestnut angles surround a square table. On both sides of the door, there are rectangular cloaky mirrors with gold frames on each wall.
After a large rectangular desk, Arthur Carter sat on the boss's chair. Behind him was a pair of Gold Framed Oil paintings. The decorations and decorations around him were also very artistic. Most of them were sculptures, copper, iron, gypsum and clay sculptures. On the other side of the wall were four huge windows. The sun shone into the office through glass, making some gold decorations glitter Light.
Arthur Carter saw Otton come in with a young man, put down his cigar, stood up from the boss's chair, walked around the desk, and said hello to Otton.
Andy looked at the old man in front of him. His sparse hair was carefully combed. He wore a white shirt, black trousers and braces. He wore a bow tie around his neck. He was a little bent because of his age, but he was full of spirit and bright eyes. The old man smiled and extended his hand under the introduction of oston.
"Nice to meet you, young man. You are just in the red in America now. I like your novel very much. Is there any interest in opening a column in my newspaper? "
Andy holds the old man's hand and smiles with confidence and sunshine on his face. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Carter. Thank you for liking my novel. As for the issue of opening a column, it will take some time. After all, the publishing house has been urging the follow-up novels, so... I'm sorry. "
"Haha, it's nothing. As long as you have the will, you can come to our newspaper to open a column at any time. I'm looking forward to cooperating with you very much." Yasser Carter was not upset, but smiled and clapped Andy's hand. He led Austin and Andy to the sofa in the rest area and signaled for them to sit down.
"Otton, you have a very good son!" Arthur Carter leaned back against the sofa, with a faint smile on his face, and spoke calmly and slowly to oston.
"Thank you, Mr. Carter. He's young and needs more work." Oston replied, looking back at Andy with a smile on his next face, and then at Arthur Carter, "this time, Andy wants to see you. Andy, let's talk to Mr. Yasser Carter. "
Arthur Carter looked at Andy curiously. Andy put up his smile and said sincerely, "Mr. Arthur Carter, I heard that you want to sell the New York Observer? What's the price? "
Yasser Carter's eyes flashed a flash of light, looked at the young man across the street carefully, looked at my Otton, who had nothing to do with me, smiled and asked, "why, Andy, do you want to buy observer?"
"Why not?" Andy's mouth is slightly cocked up, and his face is smiling with confidence. "This is an excellent newspaper with 20 years of distribution history. Although its circulation is not high, it has a very important position in Manhattan. I like its news concept and cynical humor, that is to say, it is just a regional Xing newspaper."
After hearing Andy's words, Arthur Carter couldn't help exclaiming at his youth. Unexpectedly, his newspaper attracted two young talents. No matter how tall he looked, how knowledgeable he was, the two young people had amazing similarities.
"Oh, Otton, you have such an excellent son. It's really enviable! Worthy of being a famous writer, he speaks without a leak, praising both the advantages and disadvantages of the newspaper. I think you should have learned that the observer is losing $2 million a year now. How can you make sure to turn the loss into profit? After all, this newspaper was founded by me. In the past 19 years, this newspaper has always been my pride. Now I am old. My descendants don't value this newspaper that causes losses. Even if I want to sell it, I will find a suitable new owner for it. Can you bear this burden, young man? "Looking at Yasser Carter, he said finally, shaking his head slightly, as if he didn't think Andy could support the future of observer.
Andy smiled confidently. "Mr. Carter, let's not talk about the profitability of the newspaper. I just want to tell you that among those who are interested in buying newspapers, maybe I'm the best choice for you, if it's for the sake of the newspaper that has been published for 20 years."
Yasser Carter lost his smile for the first time. He stared at Andy deeply and said lightly, "young man, tell me your reason."
Andy said with a confident smile: "as far as I know, plus me, Robert De Niro's Tribeca group and Judd KSN are interested in buying the observer. I don't know what price they all want to pay for the newspaper, but I believe they are not the best buyers."
Andy held out a finger, and then said: "first of all, Robert, although he is famous, but he is old, how much more enterprising is left? If he wants to buy the newspaper, he may just be interested in its fame, but he doesn't care much about its value. If he continues to lose money year after year, the future of the observer will be put on the shelf again and sold off by him. "
He held out his second finger again, and the smile on his face was more confident. "Judd KSN, he is a businessman. Maybe he will tell you that he is buying to make money, right? Maybe we can have fun from it, maybe we can be respected if we do well. He will replace the idea of news with business, and in the end, he will turn observer into an entertainment tabloid for profit. "
Andy said a little, because Carter's secretary has sent coffee in, took the coffee cup and put it on the table, and continued confidently: "and I, the only thing that worries people is age, it's young and easy to be despised. I never doubt my ability. First of all, I am a writer. I know more about the publishing world than the other two. Secondly, I have detailed plans to get newspapers out of trouble, and I have the ability to face challenges. At present, the biggest dilemma of American newspaper industry is that it is controlled by an aging thought and managed by some middle-aged people who are carrying the burden. Therefore, my appearance, a 21-year-old young man who is not bound by the old ideas, has shouldered the burden that has been going forward for 19 years, No Is that a brilliant suggestion? "
