The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 557: storm

People seem to have forgotten their reverence for the new president, completely indulging in the shock of being a penny newspaper.

Someone just blinked silently, but there was an expression of disbelief on their face.

Some people were whispering fiercely, and their faces had turned pale from anger.

Steve Ryan, the editor-in-chief, seemed to have a smile on his face, shaking his head as if he thought Sean was making a fool of himself.

Only John and Judy stood in a panic, not knowing what to do.

Before the announcement, Sean Dickinson had anticipated this situation.

So, in the emotional storm, he just stood silently, letting the wind and rain blow...

He knew that these people in front of him were so sensitive about being a "Penny" because they felt honored to be a member of the "Evening News".

The difference between "penny" and "non-penny" is not only in pricing,

They represent two ideas - "populism" that makes newspapers affordable for everyone, and "elitist" that not everyone is interested in what's going on in the world.

The war between "Penny" and "Non-Penny" is more like the collision of two ideas of the times.

As a symbol of the life of the upper class, the New Testament Evening News was the vanguard of the opposition to the "Penny News" camp.

Even though history has proven which concept is more realistic, it is the last glory of the Evening News not to join forces with the Penny News in today's declining sales.

And this new boss is going to break their last backbone.

If it becomes a penny newspaper, will the New Testament Evening News still be the New Testament Evening News?

Oh, right! This newcomer even dropped the name!

Finally, the fear of change turned into a question for Sean.

Some people think that their bad premonitions have come true: this rich second generation from Leon really doesn't understand anything, he is fooling around!

Mr. Bennett handed over the newspaper office to him, which was a disaster for the newspaper office!

This young man thinks that if he has ambitions, he will be able to make achievements, which is simply stupid!

People's eyes are full of anger, doubt and incomprehension.

In such a vortex, the editor-in-chief Ryan sitting opposite Sean was very calm - he closed his eyes, the corners of his mouth had a certain arc, and shook his head gently, as if to say, there is no need to bother at all , this young man will dig his own grave...

One reporter even shouted, "We've been with those penny papers for so long that we ended up becoming penny papers ourselves?"

"4 cents are also bought, why should we become a penny paper?!"

Some people realized the shallowness of Sean's thinking: "Reducing the price will not increase sales! Our readership has basically been fixed. Even if we reduce the price, those in the lower city will not buy it!"

"If the price is reduced, the monthly income will become less! Then the newspaper office is really doomed!"

"Does the price cut mean a salary cut?" someone muttered, "If there is a salary cut, then I'd rather not do it!"

The idea that Sean threw out hit a locked world.

The idea bounced back and forth in the world, creating a storm of negative emotions…

And what Sean did was, nothing.

He listened and watched quietly, without refuting, until people said they were tired, until the room gradually quieted down, until people calmed down and realized that they were in a meeting, not a debate...

"Are you finished, everyone?" After some direct questioning and opposition, Sean's expression and voice did not change at all, "Then it's my turn to speak..."

His voice was clear and clear, as if it had the power to soothe people's hearts, and it also had a penetrating power: "First of all, what you want to save is actually this newspaper, not the name "New Testament Evening News".

"No matter what the name of the newspaper office is, its core and essence will not change - it is the spirit of a group.

"So, this spirit can be called by any name."

Sean's eyes met a pair of eyes, and some people were ashamed of the gaffe just now, so they couldn't keep their eyes on Sean: "We always think that we are the force that changes the world, but sometimes we The stubbornness has become the villain in the story.

"If we open our eyes and observe carefully, and then analyze it with a rational mind, we will find that the newspaper industry is changing rapidly, and it is not what we used to know...

"Just from the sales volume, we can tell that the penny newspaper has won the favor of the times."

The conference room became extraordinarily quiet, and most of the people put down their anger and prejudice and were thinking about Sean's words.

"Penny newspapers, non-penny newspapers... We've been fighting enemies that don't exist for too long in the walls we set up..."

"At the end of the day, the price of a newspaper is just a sales tactic, but we put too much meaning on it.

"These meanings, in turn, bind us.

"In the tide of the times, because we refuse to believe and embrace change, we have become the stubborn party...

"Is it really worth it?"

There was a gust of wind outside the window, which was a little cold, but it took away the dull atmosphere in the conference room.

"I firmly believe that the Evening News can still be saved," Sean nodded lightly, he felt the subtle change in the atmosphere, "because the Evening News still has you - I appreciate the spirit of fighting for what you believe in just now, but I hope you can use this power in the right direction.

"And I am the one responsible for finding that direction."

People's originally confused eyes all lifted up.

"Embrace change is not so easy...

"But I believe that after the change, you will truly exert the energy that exists in your heart."

"However, on the other hand..." Sean's knuckles were lightly clasped on the table, his eyes were looking at the ice that never melted, and at several senior members of the editorial department, "I know that some people here are no matter what. Can't understand what I'm saying.

"I also don't want to be a headstrong manager.

"So, if you have any questions or suggestions about the three measures that will be implemented next, you are welcome to come to my office to discuss with me one by one after the meeting.

"I am very willing to listen to your thoughts. UU reading www.uukanshu.com"

Speaking of which, Sean walked out of the already quiet conference room.

After he left the conference room, there were voices of discussion behind him.

After he entered his office and closed the door, he could hear the voices of discussion getting louder.

He knew that a storm of ideas was sweeping through the entire newspaper office, and all he could do was wait quietly.

He heard employees walk out the window of his office like a protest crowd.

Everyone was discussing something aloud, someone was inciting, someone was responding, and someone's voice was full of anger. And more people are thinking...

At this point, if the person sitting in the president's office was a pessimist or a blind follower, he might have already surrendered.

He would not be able to bear the anger that people showed, he would start imagining the horror of a collective resignation that would cause the newspaper to stop, he would burst out of his own door and loudly announce that reforms would be put on hold, trying to quell the anger...

These inner dramas, however, do not belong to Sean Dickinson.

As a hidden explorer, Sean has experienced scenes far more terrifying than this.

So, seeing the gathering of angry people outside the door through the frosted glass, Sean's heart didn't waver.

He was just waiting quietly.

He knew that what was brewing outside the door was a battle that was completely different from exploring the secrets...
