American Fortune Life

Chapter 1303: Its daybreak

In the early morning, the sun penetrated the cumulus clouds to the east, staining the clouds in the sky with a few colors. But it turned into a gloomy sky.

On the Miami skyline stands the 70-story Four Seasons Hotel, the tallest building south of Atlanta, USA.

In the presidential suite, Andy, who had woke up, hugged Lima, who couldn't hold lv behind him. The two looked at the large curved windows in the bedroom, the pure view of Biscayne Bay and colorful clouds in the sky.

"Ok?"

Some sleepy-eyed Lima gave a soft hum, and felt the ferocious change of someone somewhere, turned sharply, gave Andy a charming white look, and kissed him gently.

"The weather in Miami is so speechless that it changes ..."

Speaking, he broke free from Andy's arms, lifted the blanket, jumped off the wound, chuckled and raised his eyebrows and said, "There are still activities in the morning and big shows in the afternoon. I don't have time to play with you. , I should n’t have compromised last night, **** it, do n’t say, I have to go back before 8 o’clock, it ’s too late to go back ... ”

Lima flipped through the carpet to find her lace nei shirt, and walked towards the bathroom. Andy poked her lips, but did not have to do morning exercises. After all, today is very important for Lima, making her legs weak , On the catwalk, then the dishes are completely gone.

Lima with wet hair, tall and slender body only wore a black nei suit, and found a set of running equipment from his shoulder bag, sports wipes xiong, black tight sports pants, a pair of running shoes, quick change on.

After changing it, I went to Chuangbian and bent over, and kissed Andy, and smiled, "Well, I'll go now, see you this afternoon."

Looking at the rosy and vigorous Lima, Andy laughed: "Have fun!"

"Yes!" Lima raised an eyebrow and smiled, then put on his sunglasses, turned and walked out of the bedroom quickly.

The back of Lima who valued the cool feeling of Lima left, Andy raised his arms and stretched his waist. Then he got up and looked at Andy, who was holding his head, muttered helplessly: "I let you at night Have fun ... "

After returning to Lima, where Wei Mi stayed at the hotel after finishing the morning run, changed the white vest and white leggings in the room, and after a simple breakfast, he followed the army to Miami Beach to shoot fashion Show.

Victoria's Secret Angels almost came out of the city. Dozens of Victoria's Secret Angels such as Haima, Alexandria, Dakk, Du Chen and Miranda Kerr formed a luxurious supermodel team wearing white bikinis. Up the beach of Miami.

Andy was already in the car at this moment, heading directly to the Miami Herald newspaper in Biscayne Bay.

In the meeting room, Andy and McCludge Newspaper Group CEO Gary Pruit smiled and shook hands. Although the other party was smiling, it seemed a bit bitter. Andy didn't care if the other party ’s mood was complicated. Receive this century-old newspaper.

There are not too many greetings, and the process of completing the transaction is not very troublesome. The negotiating teams on both sides have already resolved all the troubles. When Wang saw the king, there was only one final step to pay the money and deliver the goods.

"Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

After exchanging and signing the contract, Andy and Gary shook hands and congratulated each other with a smile. At this time, the flashing lights and warm applause were lit in the conference room. It was surprising that the most exciting was the "Miami Pioneer The executives of the newspaper.

After receiving the check, the people at McClatchy News Group quickly left the newspaper. For them, the newspaper has become a thing of the past. Now it welcomes its new owner, Andy Smith.

"Sit down. I'm meeting you for the first time today, but as media people, you should be no stranger to me. Well, you should be very familiar ..."

"Papa"

A group of executives applauded again with a smile. For the new boss, they are a sincere welcome. After all, no one wants to see the Miami Herald go down, and there is no doubt that a new boss with good money will let them. Don't worry about following in the footsteps of other newspapers and closing them.

Andy stretched out his hand and pressed it. After the applause subsided, he slowly converged the smile on his face. After looking around, he said solemnly: "The devastating impact of the financial crisis on the American newspaper industry is very large. Yes, everyone also has a profound experience. First of all, it is reflected in the circulation of newspapers. The data shows that the Miami Herald's circulation has fallen by 25% on weekdays and 14% on weekends. The form is very grim.

At the same time, due to the financial crisis and the sharp increase in competition pressure from the Internet, the shrinking of the US newspaper industry has become an irreversible fact. The American newspaper industry also saw a sharp decline in advertising revenue during the financial crisis.

I know that the "Herald" has just undergone a major layoff. As far as "saving money" is concerned, layoffs are undoubtedly the most direct, most effective, and most commonly used method. Perhaps this will make the newspapers somewhat stretched. However, I hope you can overcome these difficulties.

The financial crisis is over, but media change is inevitable. With the rapid development of new technologies, the real impact of the financial crisis is actually accelerating and shortening the process of global media change.

What surprised me a lot was that the monthly visitors to the online version of the newspaper remained at the level of 5 million people. This is a treasure. However, the website operating expenses are not much, and the profit needs to be tapped. Next, the newspaper should pay more attention to the newspaper. Website operation.

Everyone sitting here is a veteran of the media industry. The difficulties facing the newspaper industry should be very clear. I will not repeat them here. I hope you can work together to overcome the difficulties. I do n’t ask the newspaper to make me much money. Self-financing is my current expectation for the newspaper.

At the same time, you can go back and tell the newspaper employees that they can work with peace of mind. The newspaper has no plan to lay off staff again ... "

"Popping"

The conference room had a certain dignified atmosphere. After Andy finished the last sentence, applause reappeared. Everyone's originally heavy mood finally relaxed. More than 400 people were laid off shortly. Really no one is available.

The next meeting time is for the directors of each department to introduce themselves, and report the details of each department to let the new boss know. The meeting lasted for two hours.

After the meeting, Andy left the newspaper's former vice president, Eliza Warnerforth, yes, a woman, don't get me wrong, a woman in her fifties.

The so-called president of the previous newspaper has already left with the people of McClage News Group, and Eliza is the "native" of the Miami Herald. There is no doubt about his ability, otherwise he will not take the position of vice president .

"Alyssa, I want you to be the publisher of the newspaper and serve as eo. I don't know what you think?" Andy said without opening a circle.

"Thank you for your trust ..."

Looking at the other person's excited expression, Andy couldn't help laughing. "That's the case, both the Finance Department and the Legal Department will welcome new directors. They will cooperate with your work, will you?"

"No problem," Eliza replied without hesitation.

"Well, good ... so, I leave 10 million for the newspaper. In addition to making up the 3 million loss, you take out the rest for the operation of the website. Right, hire one or promote it. A professional director of the network department, trying to find ways to increase the website's revenue, ca n’t just waste five million visits ... ”

While talking, Andy took the cheque book from the assistant's hand and wrote down, while the newspaper's new eo, Elisa, was flushed with excitement, which was the biggest for her new eo. Support, money can make her better use of talents, and sure enough, the new boss is really not bad money!
