American Fortune Life

Chapter 88: Pitted Andy

In the office, Andy quickly tapped on the keyboard of the notebook. The story of "Gossip Girl" has been written for more than ten chapters. He wants to write the story of the first season as soon as possible, even if the other person is not in New York. Will delay serialization.

In fact, as a newspaper company that has been in operation for 20 years, the role of the boss in the newspaper office is very small, and there are few places to intervene. Andy has always believed that professional things are left to professional people. Take care. He will definitely not do the kind of things that lay leaders do. Not only is it laborious and unpleasant, but it is also likely to get things done.

As for the issue of the newspaper's loss, Andy didn't pay much attention. Before the acquisition, he and Arthur Carter said that they had a complete future plan, which could make the newspaper out of the loss, not bragging.

However, it is necessary to make capital injection first to bring up the backward online version of The New York Observer.

Andy has seen the online version of "The Observer", it is almost a copy of what was published in paper media to the website, which is just funny. Originally facing network challenges, the humorous and sarcastic writing style of "The Observer" in the past should be easily converted to the online version, rather than simply copying and pasting. This cannot be said to have an important relationship with Arthur Carter himself , People do not want to make changes when they are old, or even stubbornly refuse to change, causing newspapers to enter the Internet age too slowly and suffocate.

If you want to quickly gain a foothold in the Internet age, you can only go to the front, and the "Title Party" that is so disgusting in future generations provides more explosive news information. Use pictures instead of text reports as much as possible to create various street visits , Secret video shot on the street experiment to erect the unique charm of "The Observer" online version, to attract more readers and advertisements.

Well, these are just what he came up with. As for feasibility, we need to meet with the management of the newspaper to study and discuss.

drop...

Andy stopped typing and reached out to press the answering machine, which had been flashing a red light.

"Anne, is there anything?"

"Boss, editor Pete Kaplan wants to see you."

"Okay, let him in. Also, bring two cups of coffee in, thank you." After turning off the answering machine, shaking the mouse to save the file, Anne, as Arthur Carter's secretary, has been working Hard-working and responsible, Arthur hoped Andy would not fire her before leaving.

Andy didn't have to change Annie's thoughts, nor did he think about hiring a hot, beautiful stunner secretary. After all, he wouldn't spend much time in the newspaper. Anne has already worked in the position of secretary. It's been a long time, and everyone is familiar with it, so he agreed to Arthur Carter's request without hesitation.

This made Annie, who thought she would be reassigned to another position or fired, almost cried. After all, the boss's secretary was well paid and the job was not tired. Annick, already a mother of two children, was very afraid of losing her job. .

Pete Kaplan walked in and came in, with a look of anxiety. Andy looked at him and asked with a smile: "What's wrong, Pete, look at you in anxiety. Is there any big news out there?"

"Oh, boss, now the biggest news in New York is how the newspaper was bought. The corridor outside the newspaper's office is full of reporters, and they all want to interview you." Pitkapland was almost not strangled. When it is full, the staff of the newspaper will be questioned by reporters when they come in and out. It is too much to affect the work. There is no way but to see the boss. I hope he can go out for an interview and let those reporters leave as soon as possible.

"Oh, I won't be interviewed, it's not the time to say, these reporters are not enough ... then, you come forward to interview." Andy said with a smile, seeing that Pete Kaplan wanted to refuse, He continued: "Just so, I believe you can handle it. It seems you can only come back for coffee, huh."

"I ... okay." Pete Kaplan had no choice but to stand up and leave Andy's office, and he murmured with resentment: "Since you don't want to be interviewed, why should you release the news of the acquisition yourself?" Hey, the reporters outside are really a headache, and the question is not so easy to answer. Yes, you must think about it before you say it. Do n’t say something wrong and let the boss remember it. ”

Andy shook his head and laughed, knowing that it was a bit unreasonable for him to let Pete stop the gun, but who made him the boss? Besides, he had already answered the call from his father, Oston, and it was helpless that his father had already answered him. After an exclusive interview, this is also the first interview with reporters since the crossing. There is no way, the other party is a bit big.

Originally, even if the other party's name was big, Andy could not ignore him at all, but he couldn't hold his father's betrayal, saying that the dynasty is a human society, and it can't be done without a relationship network. The same is true in the US. As an old-fashioned political family, the network is naturally very broad. This need not be repeated. Similarly, it is also a network of others. We can benefit each other by mutual benefit and help each other.

At the beginning, when he heard the other's name, Andy had a big head. Ma, this is the standard pit son.

"The New York Times" gold medalist Andrew Solkin has always been known for his tricky questions. In his interviews, you don't even have to think about feeling happy. He asks what makes people embarrassed. He never succumbed to black history. Fate is his specialty.

The people he interviewed were all very talented. Usually, politicians want to be interviewed by him, he really does not necessarily agree, except for scandals. Well, at that time it was too late to hide from him.

Andy understands that he also saw in the previous life at the Davos forum that he had a fight with Dad Ma. Papa Ma's eloquence is not blown, and the characters who can fool people naturally will not slap him. The battle between you and me is extremely exciting.

No way, Andrew Sorkin is also a Republican DANG, but also a hardcore, and has a good relationship with the Smith family. He called Auston without hesitation, and he agreed with his son without any hesitation. However, he is about to run for parliament. Although it is a small election year, he must not be taken lightly. The soft article of the New York Times is ten thousand times stronger than that of The Observer. . .

what did you say? Son's dark history?

Andy's fame as a teenager shows that his education was very successful and he was an excellent father. As for black history. . . Andy was already an adult at that time, and he could already be responsible for his actions. He had no relationship with Mao. Besides, whoever hasn't embarrassed the past, it would be nice for the prodigal son to turn around.

As for the revealed scars. . . Allston could only shrug indifferently, asking for blessings, the man must be harder on himself! Isn't it?

Andy would definitely spit blood if he knew the real idea of ​​the unscrupulous dad. Sighed, drank coffee, and prepared to continue writing novels.

Buzz. . .

The phone on the desk kept shaking, Andy smiled bitterly, and it seems that there is no way to write with peace of mind today.

I glanced at it, and immediately picked it up, asking respectfully: "Grandpa, I haven't seen you in a long time. How are you?"

"Haha, stinky boy, you know you have n’t seen each other for a long time? Why do n’t you come to see me?" Old Smith's questioning made Andy very embarrassed. Fortunately, this embarrassment was soon pleased by Old Smith. The tone of words dispelled.

"Andy, you did a good job! The downturn in the past few years has not allowed you to sink, but has become more mature. I am very happy. It is indeed a child of the Smith family. Your father and I told you that your performance in the morning was very amazing. It's surprising that Arthur's stubborn old man has been persuaded by you, which is really unexpected ... "

It is a very happy thing to be praised by my relatives and admit it. Even though Andy has not seen the grandfather of this congressman now, he is very happy and not humble. "Thank you, I just did what I can do, In the end, it was the beautiful knife that moved him. "

"Oh, you scumbag, Arthur is not short of money ... Well, I just called to congratulate you and do it well." Observer "is a quality asset. Although it is only a regional newspaper, it has an influence But the credibility is not available in many newspapers. The consistent neutral position for 20 years is really commendable. Even the "New York Times" broke the scandal of fake news, not to mention some other tabloid newspapers, run it well, it will let you Get the friendship and respect of many people. "Old Smith leaned on the boss chair in the office, smiled kindly.

"I see, grandpa, you said so much, wouldn't you want me to let the newspaper write soft texts for the Republican Dang in the future?" Andy smiled jokingly.

"Hahaha, stinky boy! No need, at least not right now, but Manhattan! The celebrities of the Upper East Side value interests. Of course, public opinion will affect a lot of things. Keeping the neutral is what the Observer should do. When it touches mainstream values, its status will become more and more important. When it comes to writing soft texts, the value and role it plays will be huge ... Well, I know you hate politics, but this is our Smith family. Fundamentally, I do n’t force you to enter politics, but you ca n’t stay away from it like your uncle. ”Old Smith smiled openly and told Andy his opinion, just thinking of Andy ’s rejection of politics and disappointment The eldest son could not help sighing secretly.

"Stop that, old George called me yesterday, but he highly respected your girlfriend Ivana and praised her elegance. I looked at her information, and she is indeed an excellent woman, no matter how she looks or learns They are all excellent. The most important thing is that there is no chaotic private life and very self-cultivation. Although the family lacks the heritage, it is not a problem and it is very suitable to be your wife ... "

Andy was listening to Old Smith's teaching very seriously, but listening to it, the topic touched on his wife's problem, and Andy immediately interrupted his grandfather's self-talk, "Grandpa, we are just in love, I'm only 21 years old and I won't get married so early ... "
