There is a two-story building with brown walls on the Garden Avenue. From the outside, it can be mistaken for a factory.

But turn to its front, and you can see the signboard of the headquarters of the New Testament Evening News.

Mr. Gordon Bennett remodeled the interior of the vacant factory in 1905 and moved the New Testament Evening News newspaper founded by his father Mr. Gordon Bennett Sr. to this place.

Founded in 1840, after 80 years of ups and downs, the "Evening Post", which had been brilliant in the New York Civil War by sending "war correspondents" to bring first-hand news from the front, finally couldn't keep up with the pace of the times, and began to experience seemingly There is no solution, the crisis of a huge decline in sales.

Many outsiders are trying to figure out why the established newspaper has lost favor in the market.

Most people think that it is because the concept of running a newspaper that has not changed fundamentally for decades has become outdated today, and it is no longer able to compete with reformed newspapers such as the "New Testament Times"...

Many people blame Mr. Gordon Jr. for failing to inherit his father's pioneering spirit, but what few people know is that Jr. Gordon Jr., who has no passion for the newspaper industry, has long been exhausted from maintaining a newspaper. , his "pioneering spirit" did not apply to this father's legacy...

However, unlike Mr. Gordon Jr., most of the employees in this newspaper are still holding back their energy.

Many people in the news industry came to the Evening Standard not just to find a job to make a living, but also to value its past glory.

Today, when the "Evening Post" is increasingly declining, while they are helpless, they also have some dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction with the status quo.

Although Mr. Gordon Jr. did not lead them out of the predicament, the old employees still had feelings for the Bennett family.

For them, the absence of "Bennett" in the owner's name was an uncomfortable feeling.

You especially heard that this newcomer was an immigrant from Leon, an ambitious rich second generation in his twenties.

The title of "rich second generation" made them feel particularly worried about the future of the newspaper.

After all, with the steady and reliable Mr. Bennett around, the newspaper office is not doing well, but it can still operate...

God knows what the arrival of this rich second generation of Leon means to the newspaper office?

Will he treat the Evening Post as his new toy, thereby killing the already dying newspaper?

Regarding the change of the president, the employees of the "New Testament Evening News" generally hold a negative attitude.

In the relatively gloomy atmosphere in the office building, there is a person who is in a different state.

The man was wearing a clean striped shirt, the hem of which was neatly tucked into his overalls. Although the brown leather shoes are old, they have a hazy light.

He has round eyes and soft features, and only when his cheeks are slightly agitated in thought can he show his masculine demeanor.

john jackson. Son of former president's office manager Paul Jackson.

John graduated from Princeton University and came to the "New Testament Evening Post" immediately after graduation. Because of his educational background, he was highly valued by Mr. Bennett

With all his enthusiasm, he wanted to save the place where his father had fought, but in reality he repeatedly hit the wall.

Many of the innovative measures he proposed were opposed by several veterans of the editorial department.

Among them were the editor-in-chief Steve Ryan, Ryan's horse boy, the reporter leader Vincent, and the editorialist Lewis who drank and cursed all day long.

A few veterans in the news industry often ridiculed Little John as a young and stupid boy who didn't know the heights of the world and the dangers of the rivers and lakes, forcing some idealistic ideas into a newspaper that already had a set of rules.

It wasn't just John who they opposed, but John's tanned idealism.

John, who thought he could revive the newspaper, originally wanted to rely on Mr. Bennett to solve this predicament. However, Mr. Bennett only wanted to take care of those "old heroes" and was unwilling to take them under the knife. unwilling.

Knowing that there is no hope for reform, John had no choice but to fall silent. He felt more and more discouraged in the hopeless days after day...

Just when he was about to leave the "Evening Post" and go to other more vigorous newspapers, he suddenly heard a news.

Mr Bennett sold the Evening Post to Sean Dickinson.

That Mr. Sean Dickinson.

John, who had been in journalism for three years, had heard his story.

This somewhat mysterious reporter from Leon once served as an intern editor in the editorial department of the world's first newspaper "The Lion's Roar Daily".

I came to New Testament about half a year ago and contributed articles to the "Daily News" as an independent reporter. Every time I caught a news pain point and published a manuscript, it caused a big or small shock in the industry.

In particular, he interviewed Mr. Dyson during the patent dispute between Mr. Dyson and the "big inventor" Emerson, which not only set off a wave of public opinion against Emerson, but was also selected as a member of Columbia University. Journalism textbooks...

In addition, many people believe that the news "The Disappearing Lovers" signed by "Rabe Bogut" is also written by Mr. Dickinson, but he has not been admitted.

Unlike many self-styled people who are hostile to outstanding people, John believes that Mr. Dickinson is definitely a young talent in journalism.

He already had a certain amount of admiration for Mr. Dickinson, but he didn't expect his idol to buy the newspaper!

As a reformist, he seemed to see a ray of light in the long night.

"Oh, look at our nerdy John!" Without turning his head, John knew that the annoying voice came from the editor-in-chief's dogleg, the head of the reporter Vincent, "He dressed up a lot today. It seems that he wants to Make a good impression on the new boss - someone will back him up in the future!"

There was a burst of sparse laughter in the office—not everyone was targeting John, and some old employees liked this young man. Unfortunately, they dared not and could not offend the team leader and editor-in-chief.

"Shut up, Vincent." John, who had been staring at the door through the window on the second floor, saw a car parked in the "President's dedicated" parking space outside the door.

He suddenly became nervous, took a deep breath, and quickly walked downstairs towards the door.

Through the glass at the door, he saw two people getting off the Remington L-shaped car from a distance.

The co-pilot got off a woman wearing a gray suit skirt~lightnovelpub.net~ She was holding a briefcase, and she seemed to be acting as a secretary.

The woman turned her face sideways, causing Little John's eyes to widen a little - something he was sure had rarely seen.

The man who got out of the cab was wearing a gray overcoat and a fedora of the same color on his head. His expression is calm, his eyes are calm, as deep as the sea. The cheeks and chin are a freshly shaven blue.

He stood at the door of the Evening Post headquarters and looked up at the signboard.

He didn't seem nervous at all about meeting the employees who had never met before.

Seemingly knowing that John was guarding the door, John, who was so nervous that his palms were sweating, saw Mr. Sean Dickinson looking straight into his eyes, with a warm smile on his face, and walked over step by step.

The young man hurriedly opened the door, his voice a little tense:

"Welcome to the Evening New Testament... Dickinson, Mr President!"
