"For a long time, most online news has been regarded by the audience as a" free lunch. "It should not be a" pay wall "between the media and the audience. It has been a persistent topic in the global press.

However, from free to paid, it will lead to a reduction in the overall number of media audiences, and website visits will drop to the freezing point, so paid reading is impossible. Like comprehensive newspapers, the only way to make profits is to add free advertising ... "

Andy tore off the check and, as he said his opinion, handed it to Elisa, who was a little excited.

Alyssa took the check, and her mood was really mixed. The original parent company was desperate to withdraw blood from the Herald, cut staff and reduce expenses, and the new boss injected 10 million as soon as he entered the main topic. The newspaper ’s stretched funding has been supplemented. Really, it is more important than the boss!

"Boss, website charges are absolutely unavailable. We are the largest newspaper in Miami, and there are few competitors. Once the charges are collected, website visits will be lost, and by then, the website's advertising investment will be hit hard.

Rest assured, boss, with your capital injection, we can launch subscription promotions next year in advance, while stabilizing old customers, we can also add new subscribers, and we can quickly restore the subscription volume to the original level. I have confidence! "

Andy looked at Alisa with confidence and nodded with a smile and said, "I'll wait and see. I'm still saying that. I won't use the cash machine of the newspaper as a profit. I won't save bonuses. . "

Talking about Andy standing up, she continued to Eliza, who also stood up, "Let's go and take me to get familiar with Xiabao."

Leaving the conference room, Andy took a small assistant, and was introduced by Eliza, and was familiar with the layout of the various departments of the newspaper. When they came to the news editing room, they just showed up at the door. Get up and start enthusiastically applauding the arrival of the new boss.

Fear of layoffs, unemployment, and nervousness completely disappeared after the good news brought by editor-in-chief Anders Gyllenhaal after the meeting, one by one shouting 'dawn' and starting to talk to the new boss All the discussions are going on, of course, gossip scandal is indispensable, although the discussion of the new boss's scandal is a bit suspicious.

So when someone saw the new boss walking towards the news editing room, he ran back early to inform the crowd, and then there was a warm scene of standing up and applauding.

With a bright smile on his face, Andy reached out and pressed his hands, waited for applause to fall, walked to the middle of the hall, looked around for a week, then raised his voice and said, "The most influential newspaper in South Florida ... Fairness and excitement not only cast the law of the state of free press and speech, but also shaped the Miami spirit of fear of power.

Okay, now we are having some trouble ... But it's nothing, because I am here, I came here with my love for newspapers, and create the glory of the Miami Herald with you! "

"Wow"

Everyone in the entire editorial room was like chicken blood, and his face was flushed with mad applause. The lawsuit that the press proudly won the first set of amendments to the 1974 U.S. Constitution was filed by the new boss. At this moment, the pride and recognition of the new boss reached its peak.

"Brilliant!"

"Create another glory!" ...

"Boss, welcome. My name is Bob. I'm your book fan and I'm honored to work for you ..."

"Boss, my name is Knight ..."

"I'm John ..."

Andy is surrounded by enthusiastic employees. Some people are constantly introducing themselves and shaking hands with Andy. Andy has always smiled and nodded to everyone, reaching out and shaking hands with everyone, letting everyone present Everyone feels the easy-going and kindness of the new boss, instead of the indifference and the impassable sense of distance.

It's fun, the atmosphere is enthusiastic, and the scandal is dealt with at a loss. Of course, these people should thank them for having undergone a layoff and cleansing. Otherwise, they will face a new boss in another state.

Well, Andy should also thank McClatchy Newspaper Group for being a bad guy first, so that he can pack lightly and be a good boss!

After leaving the newspaper office, Andy was sitting in the car with a bright smile on his face. Looking at the newspaper building outside the car window, he suddenly turned to look at the assistant and asked, "How about I change the newspaper building into a casino hotel? ? "

"what?"

Tori was first asked a little aggressively, his eyes were dull, but he quickly responded, his mouth twitched a few times, and looked out the window, facing the sea, the cuboid building with an invincible sea view. He couldn't help laughing: "Current Florida law It seems that only aboriginal areas are allowed to operate small casinos. If you want to build, Miami will have to revise the law first, and Disney will definitely jump out against it ... "

"Ah ?!" Andy looked at the little assistant who made him very unexpectedly analyzed with a look of surprise, and said with a smile: "Oh, it's not easy. You can think of it, but you have made progress."

Tori could not help but explained with a flushed face: "I watched the news some time ago, it seems that Disneyland just because some Native American casinos in Orlando destroyed the image of the tourism industry and asked to ban the casinos, so I ..."

"Oh, that's the case. That's not easy. You even know that you have the information reserve. That's a bit of an assistant's meaning and continue to work hard." Andy shook his head and laughed. She has some motivation to move forward.

Sure enough, after hearing the praise of the Devil, Tori's beautiful eyes were smiling like a crescent, and he was extremely happy. If he had a tail, he would definitely shake up. The grievances about being rushed to another room to sleep last night also dissipated.

At the same time, Andy Smith had a 100-year history of acquiring South Florida for $ 260 million, and news of Miami Herald, the largest circulation newspaper in Miami, spread quickly.

Although the news of Andy's acquisition of this newspaper is no longer new, the conclusion of the transaction still caused a lot of repercussions, and at the same time, it made other struggling other newspaper companies see a new path.

Due to the declining circulation and the plunge in advertising revenue, the newspaper crisis is spreading, and people are even worried that paper media will one day die out. At this time, Andy Smith, the young billionaire, went against the trend. Real gold and silver bought a lot of paper media, which made it difficult for many people to understand.

The media industry has mixed tastes about this. It is only a matter of time for the new media king to take the throne. As long as the acquisition of nb Global is completed, he will become the new king alongside News Corp.

The news of the acquisition, but also stimulated the three parties at the same time, watching the reports with different minds, tangled.

One side is General Electric, which has plunged the M & A negotiations into a torment. After watching it improve for a few days, another one fell down, and the stock price plummeted downward. They have hardships. If a merger agreement can be reached, the stock price will definitely stop falling The rebound, but GE is really not willing to let go of this can take advantage of the good opportunity to kill Andy Smith, a fat sheep with a lot of cash.

However, with the start of Andy's acquisition, General Electric became embarrassed. They were really afraid to provoke the local tyrant and terminate the negotiations ...

Another party is the members of the board of directors of the Tribune newspaper. They also received the acquisition letter, and now seeing the news of the acquisition, let alone how upset they are.

However, soon they will not need to worry about depression, because the union representative of the Los Angeles Times newspaper brought the ultimatum, and they must come up with a solution to solve their pension liabilities before leaving work in the afternoon. As a result, the union will lead newspaper employees to strike from tomorrow!
