Sean previously set a starting sum of $10,000 for starting a newspaper. At present, there are nearly 6,000 New Zealand dollars on hand, plus the current monthly fixed income, Sean knows that it is ready to start.

Sean's earliest idea was to start a new newspaper from scratch. It was later found that this was impossible.

In order to control the number of newspaper offices in the city, Xinyue City Shenting no longer issued licenses for newspaper offices. Therefore, those who want to break out in the journalism industry can only choose to buy those newspapers that are for sale directly.

For Sean now, the money to buy the newspaper is not a problem. Because the price of newspapers on sale at a lower price does not exceed 6,000 New Zealand dollars, Sean's funds can already cover...

The problem he urgently needs to solve is that there must be a way to explain the source of large sums of money.

A young journalist from León suddenly has the money to buy a newspaper. If you can't solve this obvious doubt, you will inevitably receive attention and suspicion...

But what Sean needs most is not to be overly concerned.

However, this question did not bother Sean for too long. He soon discovered that "outlander" is a very easy to make a fuss about. After all, Sean's hometown is in Greene, and it is difficult for people in New York City to know him well.

Therefore, he only needs to make up a story to provide a perfect explanation for everything, and the story goes like this:

A gentleman from a well-to-do family is no longer satisfied with practicing his journalistic ideals in Greene. He wants to prove his worth in Newlander, where the journalism industry is booming. His father, who runs a farm in Greene, is willing to support his son's New Zealand dream. However, the pragmatic father also put forward his own requirements:

The ambitious young gentleman had to prove he could make a living in New Testament journalism before he could get funding to start a paper.

Now, Mr. Sean Dickinson, who is already well-known in the news industry, has obviously proved his ability, so the starting capital and the blessing from his father in his hometown came to Sean's side logically...

The seamless story, coupled with Sean's already proficient language art, this story quietly began to permeate the industry.

As a result, many people knew that this independent reporter known for his diligence and talent turned out to be a rich second generation.

People always doubt the motives of others, and justify themselves with assumptions that best fit their own worldview, and Sean's story just meets their needs.

Those who don't like Mr. Dickinson who is too aggressive finally know the reason why this mysterious reporter "writes articles faster than breeding livestock" - because he has a father who promised to support him!

Reveal to the Holy Father, if I also have such a father, if someone promises me a lot of money...

I'll do my best too!

Sean's story sheds light on his unsettling diligence, comforts some, and perfectly explains where the big bucks come from.

The problem of the source of funds is resolved, and the next step is the acquisition. The process went smoothly beyond Sean's expectations.

For Xiao En, the acquisition of any newspaper is the same for him: now is the period when the news industry is booming, and those who choose to change hands of the newspaper are all defeated by the cruel competition and want to quit...

Such a newspaper office must have problems in the direction and philosophy of running the newspaper.

Therefore, as long as Sean takes over, he will definitely carry out drastic rectification.

Since there is a need to rectify anyway, it doesn't make much difference to Xiao En which one to buy.

The only thing that needs to be done is to find the option with the best personnel, facilities and location among the potential sellers, and the most suitable price.

In the process of searching and negotiating, Sean felt that an old saying has been confirmed again: as long as you are willing to search, you can find your way.

Sean quickly found a deal that was good for him.

The New Testament Evening Post was first published in 1842, when the penny newspaper was growing wildly. Due to various reasons, it has been unable to compete with the "New Testament Times", "Le Monde", and "The Sun", which were born in the same period. The daily sales volume is only 2,500, and it is almost on the verge of withdrawing from the market.

The owner of the Evening News, Mr. Gordon Bennett, also turned his attention from the newspaper industry to the real estate industry. He proposed a very reasonable price to Sean, including the first month's staff salary, office and printing house rent , a total of $5500 - Mr Bennett's offer was close to free. And there is a reason for such a discount: due to the sluggish sales, the newspaper office has been losing money for months, and taking over is a negative asset... Even if Mr. Bennett wants to sell it at a good price, it is unlikely that the competition in the newspaper industry is saturated. up.

Before Sean came along, the only option offered to him was a sale to the swaggering Sun, but Mr Bennett turned down that deal because of its contemptuous attitude.

After visiting the editorial office and printing factory of the Evening News, and confirming that it was a good deal except for the sales volume of the newspaper, Sean agreed to the price, and the contract signing and transaction were completed on the same day.

At the "Evening Post" headquarters on Garden Avenue, saying goodbye to a group of Mr. Bennett, Sean suddenly realized one thing: at this moment, he is no longer a small reporter, but a newsman with his own newspaper...

·

After the transaction was completed, Sean only had living expenses for the next few months on hand.

However, one month later, he will have to pay the next month's rent for office space, electricity, materials, wages and subsidies for thirty-two employees, etc., totaling 4,800 New Zealand dollars (the rent is usually paid on an annual basis, but Sean through Bene Mr. Te interceded, and the venue agreed to pay the monthly rent within half a year when Sean took over).

With an average daily sales volume of 2,500 copies and a single copy priced at 4 cents, the monthly income is only about NZ$3,000.

This also means that if the newspaper's sales do not improve, Sean will lose NZ$1800 a month.

This is also the reason why few people took over the "New Testament Evening Post", which led Mr. Bennett to change hands at a relatively low price-compared with those newspapers with a balance of payments, the risk of acquiring the "Evening Post" is too great.

But for Sean, sales are a solvable problem.

During his tenure as a reporter, he has always maintained the habit of reading various newspapers.

Comparing the shrinking papers with the big papers, he knew all too well what was wrong with them.

For Sean, he was like watching a bunch of crappy hunters with a shotgun that had no problem, and because of his own wrong aim, he missed a single shot...

What Sean, who was "in a hurry" before, had to do was just take one of the shotguns.

For him ~lightnovelpub.net~ as long as he "takes the shotgun", he will "do not worry about food and clothing".

The immediate loss is only a temporary phenomenon.

A talented dancer, even if he chooses a stage that is deserted at the moment, he is confident to attract more audiences.

In his eyes, apart from the hardware conditions, the "New Testament Evening News" is already a terminally ill newspaper.

If the concept of running a newspaper is not completely changed, then the already poor sales will only decline further.

Therefore, after taking over, the first thing Sean will do is to carry out drastic reforms to the "Evening Post".

It is by no means an easy task to save a penny newspaper that is dying.

Whether it is internal or external, there are many challenges.

However, Sean, who already has some ideas and inspirations, is looking forward to it...
