Chapter 138

Chapter 138 Do you have a girlfriend? The founder of the weekly newspaper "New York Observer" was Arthur Carter, a New York real estate developer. Arthur founded and ran the magazine. At first, the main goal was to promote his real estate company. At first, the magazine focused primarily on New York and the surrounding real estate industry. Later, Arthur Carter discovered that the newspaper was selling very well and that the key was to increase its influence. Increase the sales of your own real estate company. He started working seriously. It's just not strong enough, combined with fierce competition in the industry. After more than 20 years of development, "New York Observer" has always been limited to New York and the surrounding New Jersey area. Elsewhere, little is known about him. The sales volume of each issue is usually about 30,000 to 50,000 copies. After 1995, With the development of the Internet and the departure of the former editor-in-chief. "The New York Observer" even began to decline due to falling revenues and advertising costs. Before, I managed to maintain my daily balance and even make a little money. Then start losing money every year. If I don't keep it, If it was useful for his real estate company, Arthur Carter would have sold it a long time ago. Enter after 2000. This week we are losing more and more money each month. Things got to the point where Arthur Carter couldn't take it anymore. He started announcing that he was going to sell the weekly newspaper. Time and space always go hand in hand He sold it for many years but didn't sell it until 2006. On that day, sales this week will only exceed 20,000 copies per issue. In this time and space, Because at that time Abel wanted to have his own newspaper to be able to compete with possible public opinion. He did David Mellon, You get influential New York newspapers. The New York Sun and New York Observer thus became Abel's pockets. After becoming the boss of these two newspapers, Abel combined his time travel experience. Reforms were made to both newspapers. Turns out he has no talent. The reforms he requested from the two newspapers did not receive much response. The New York Observer had no problem because for one month in a row, each issue featured an exclusive interview with a celebrity. Thanks to Abel, the famous guests are all famous people from New York. This has somewhat boosted sales of the New York Observer. Let it increase average sales from about 40,000 copies per issue to about 60,000 to 70,000 copies. This growth is actually quite good. Due to the increase in weekly circulation, the number of sales per issue of "Time" magazine is now about 150,000 copies. If the New York Observer can maintain this level of revenue per issue, it will become one of the top 20 weekly newspapers in the United States. At that time, the newspaper, renamed "American Sun", had daily sales of about 100,000 copies. It's better than "New York Observer", but "New York Observer" is a weekly magazine, one issue per week. American Sun is a daily newspaper, one issue per day. In terms of price, one copy of "New York Observer" can almost buy five copies of "American Sun". In other words, before Storm Smith arrived. Abel's reform of the two newspapers he had purchased, the New York Observer, brought good profits. But this kind of income does not mean that his ideas and ideas are useful. Instead, he's in New York and now he has a face. The famous guests mentioned above are all preparing to give interviews to the "New York Observer". "American Sun" has no such advantage due to its location. Newspapers previously had relatively low premiums and poor reputations. Of course, there will be no development and everything will remain the same. Luckily, this time there was a storm Smith across America. On Abel's side, under the advice of David and the new public relations department. Through a not-so-subtle method, it transferred some of its heat to the American Sun. This made "American Sun" suddenly famous and the current situation was born. This is true, but there are actually some flaws. The American Sun newspaper currently sells that much per issue. At least a third was due to the high price of the newspaper, more than a third was due to Abel's popularity at that time, and the remaining third was a little less than the strength of the newspaper itself. As Hurricane Smith eases in the United States, it is uncertain whether the company will be able to maintain such daily sales. This can be proven, "American Sun" officially became one of the top ten newspapers in the United States. The current rankings have some errors. But anyway, this time it was Abel's warmth. Let the "American Sun" eat a wave of benefits. Sister newspaper "New York Observer" is jealous. As an expert in news and finance, he must promote the "New York Observer", a professional and high-class newspaper. The marketing style of "American Sun" cannot be learned. After a long period of reflection, the editorial team shared their ideas with the bosses. They discovered that, My boss, Up to now, I have not officially accepted an interview from any newspaper or magazine. If the "New York Observer" can get first blood from the boss. Clearly, he can take advantage of this heat to promote his reputation among elites across America. This is what is happening today, The New York Observer sent its most elite interview team to MGM headquarters to interview Abel. The maintenance team consists of four people. is a lighting designer, cinematographer, editor and reporter. Among them, the editor-in-chief is the leader, and Dylan is the editor-in-chief of the "New York Observer". The interviewer was his own boss and, of course, the New York Observer sent his best team. The cameraman is the best, the lighting person is the best and the editor is just an editor. Journalist. Journalists are the most beautiful. The most beautiful people. The beauty reporter's name is Ashley Liz. Ashley graduated from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University. This university ranks among the best journalism majors in the United States. She was very young and the editorial board included many journalists or editors with higher education than her. Not to mention educational qualifications and professional experience. It's a shame Dylan excluded these people. The person calling them is not a woman, or not young and beautiful enough. As for Ashley, she turned out to be the most beautiful flower in the entire office of the "New York Observer" newspaper just two days after entering the "New York Observer". Dylan is not stupid. In my eyes, the journalist's ability is not important. The important thing is that the boss is satisfied, that's more than enough. So Ashley, a recent graduate of Northwestern University's McDill School of Journalism in the US, got the job everyone wanted at the newspaper. This proves that sometimes appearance is the main productive force. On the top floor of MGM Movies headquarters, Ashley had been seeing him for nearly a month. Abe Smith, who excited the American media and made the American media as happy as Lunar New Year. At the same time, he is still his own boss. Ashley walked through the door, the first person I saw, In front of him was a tall, handsome and polite young man. He is not as young and aggressive as Ashley imagined, the eyebrows on his handsome face reveal confidence and maturity unlike his peers. Even the journalist who interviewed him was just an employee of one of his little-known magazines. He's also not an extremist. His attitude made Ashley and the others feel refreshed. This paragraph may be added to the press release. Ashley thought. "Hello, Mr. Smith." Dylan quickly greeted. The remaining two people, including Ashley, also hurriedly greeted each other. Abel smiled and answered them. After a simple greeting, Dylan humbled himself and handed the boss an A4 piece of paper. "Mr. Smith, here are some of the next questions we're going to ask you." "Do you think it should be increased or decreased?" Abel took it, looked down and saw that it was full of trivial questions. After all, Dylan wanted to interview his own boss, so how dare he ask so many questions. After taking a quick look, Abel shook his head. "It's not easy. Dilan, I remember your name, right? These questions are too common." » Abel said while holding an A4 paper. The boss called him by the wrong name and Dylan wanted to correct it. But in the end he didn't correct it and let the boss call him Dilan, which sounds similar. "What do you mean?" The editor-in-chief humbly asked questions online. "What a popular question. How much heat can 'New York Observer' get? If you want to ask, ask something specific." » "Oh oh oh~" Dylan nodded quickly. It would be even better if this could be done. This will further contribute to the New York Observer's revenue and reputation. It wasn't that Dylan didn't want to ask explosive questions, he just didn't dare. The current boss is very active so of course Dylan can't wait. But Dylan doesn't know where his boss's goals lie. I don't know which questions are difficult to ask and which questions are not. Dylan was also struggling and could only ask again: "So what should we ask?" "Durand, are you the editor in chief of the New York Observer, or am I the editor in chief?" Abe naturally said: "Of course these questions are for you to think about, I will decide whether to answer or not!" Having finished speaking, Abel shook his head slightly. He noticed that since entering the house, Dylan's attitude had always been very cautious. I asked Dylan to ask a few specific questions. I guess Dylan doesn't dare to be too sharp. After thinking for a while, he happened to see Ashley, a beautiful girl with a very good body, next to Dylan. This beautiful journalist looked at me enthusiastically. Abel pointed straight at the beautiful reporter and said: "Let her do it. Let her, just like interviewing an ordinary celebrity, choose topics that can make the "New York Observer" sell better and attract more attention. Dillon himself signed up on the sidelines and simply mastered the sense of proportion. " Durand breathed a sigh of relief, then thought about it again and again, the boss's trick seemed to work. The important thing is that you are not responsible, let Ashley be responsible. This is also the reason why today he insisted on letting Ashley come instead of other senior journalists with more qualifications and capabilities. "GOOD." Dylan immediately said: "Then let Ashley come." Seeing her boss and editor-in-chief looking at her, Ashley was a bit taken aback. She first looked at the editor-in-chief, then looked at Abel, and finally gently said to Abel: "BOSS. So what kind of question should I ask? Where is the scale?" Ashley isn't stupid either. I knew that no matter how generous my boss was, if I waited until the interview to insult him, I would be out of luck. Don't you see that the editor-in-chief who has so much power in the company now looks like a quail? Ashley simply lacks qualifications and experience, not low IQ. With a low IQ, she will not be able to get into one of the best journalism schools in America! Abel is annoyed by Ashley and Dylan's inflexible attitude. He said, "It looks like you just graduated, Miss Ashley? Just like what you learned in school, interview the way you want, ask all the questions you want. Anyway, I also no need to answer certain questions, continue." faster!" The bosses all talk about it and they all emphasize it. Even though Ashley didn't want to, at that time she could only grit her teeth. Furthermore, since childhood she has had the temperament of a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers. Young people who have just graduated from school still have many dreams and have not yet accepted the idea of ​​building their own society. Courage is the most indispensable thing compared to old donuts. Ashley gritted her teeth and said: "Boss, should I go first? Abel nodded. Dylan quickly ordered the lighting man and cameraman to move over so they could take pictures for the interview later. Used in magazines. At the end of the next chapter, I will also take a full cover photo for Abel. Will be used in the latest issue of the New York Observer. This is an advantage that big magazines like "Forbes", "Time Magazine" and "Fortune" do not have. Only a son like the "New York Observer" would benefit from such treatment. The official interview begins. Ashley's first question seemed a bit surprising: "How would you describe yourself?" Abel was stunned for a moment, looked at Ashley who had a belligerent expression, and confidently replied: "Genius." "You say you are a genius, what proof do you have?" "Proof? In less than a year, I used tens of dollars to earn nearly tens of billions of dollars. I think this is probably the most convincing evidence, right?" Alexander and his wife were not stingy with their only son. Additionally, he happened to be in Texas at the time and took a little test of his abilities. When he arrived in New York, he brought $70,000 in cash. There was also a credit card in his name with a limit of five thousand dollars. There was also an additional credit card that Alexander had given him. Abel could spend $30,000 there, then ask Alexander for a refund. No matter how you look at it, at that time he was not poor. But I don't know if it's a rumor or not. The media was behind him at the time, worried about the money he brought to New York. From thousands of dollars at first it has become hundreds of dollars and recently tens of dollars. The press reported that he only brought dozens of dollars and earned that amount of money in a short time. The caliber was very uniform and Abel wondered if it was a signal from the relevant American departments. Abel thinks tens of dollars is ridiculous, but it seems more legendary. It also makes me more awesome. He just acquiesced, saying that what he brought to New York was only a few dozen dollars! No one will expose such a trivial matter. It won't hurt to tear it down. Of course, before expressing yourself, breathe as much as possible. Fear of eggs. Ashley heard this answer from the handsome young boss. She couldn't answer the next question that came to her mind. Yes, this type of person is not a genius. No matter how much capital one invests, one can always earn this amount of wealth in one year. Does he still need proof? His wealth is his best proof! Ashley had to change the question and ask MGM. "What made you suddenly wake up and buy MGM?" Abel's current popularity in the press can be said to be due to his purchase of MGM. Ashley thinks readers will be very interested in this question. This question is not too harsh, easy to answer, the boss pretending to be aggressive is appropriate. But she did not expect that Abel would not respond as she thought. Abel's answer was: "Suddenly, I went to Los Angeles mainly to buy Marvel. When I was a child, I loved Iron Man and Spider-Man. Now that I have enough money, I just bought the company that created them." "This way, I can let Marvel create the comic stories I love. For example, being Iron Man's father Spider-Man, or making Spider-Man super rich. I think that's a very good taste." interesting!" "Then I met Kerkorian when I was near Beverly Hills. Kerkorian asked me if I was interested in MGM. I asked the price and it was cheap so I bought it. I bought it." Abel's reaction this time is clearly not consistent with his original intention of buying Marvel and MGM. But he thought responding that way might make more Americans admire him. In China, flaunting one's wealth can easily arouse ordinary people's hatred of wealth. It's also easy to attract Iron Fist's attention. But flaunting one's wealth in America will still attract people who hate the rich. But many Americans think you are great because of your wealth. National conditions are different. In America, money is really big. Not only in everyday life and in influence. But in the American worldview, the rich are great. It means being superior to others, having noble and superior blood. This is a concept that capitalists have long brainwashed. In this case, good fanfare, good Versailles. This will not arouse the disgust of most ordinary Americans. Instead, they probably worshiped Abel more because of his wealth and age. This is based on different national conditions, leading to different results. Both questions received different answers than I expected. Ashley realized her boss's personality for the first time. He is a super rich man, very confident and confident. Maybe it is. He was able to make so much wealth legally in such a short period of time. And in the media across America, Hurricane Smith was now announced! After realizing this, Ashley's questions became more specific and easier for Abel to answer. His third question was... "Do you have a girlfriend? If not, what kind of girlfriend do you want to be? Or even your future wife?" This question immediately made Abel's eyes light up. It made him feel like he was the reporter in front of him. He also has a handsome appearance and an extremely good body. not an idiot, he's still capable. He is smiling. (end of this chapter)
