The atmosphere in the conference room of the Standard Evening Newspaper was a little depressing, which was inevitable. After all, it was a new owner, and no one knew what would happen next. How would the new boss arrange the management of the original newspaper.

It is very likely to be a big change in the management team by placing the boss’s confidants, admiring or kicking out the management team, and even more exaggerated management team changes. You should know that the young and handsome billionaire in front of you is not a good boss. You have heard of the decisive and merciless reports.

"Well." With Andy's serious expression, the air in the conference room seemed a little frozen, everyone's eyes looked at him, and the representatives of the United Newspaper looked at him with a serious look. Andy was very satisfied with this effect, and the feeling of life and death and power was fascinating. He also knew that the superior momentum of successful people was slowly cultivated.

"Before the acquisition, my think tank gave me the advice that it was necessary to carry out newspaper reforms. After 182 years of standard newspapers, the number of departmental and institutional staff was undoubtedly over-profile. Although there are reasons for the decline of paper media and the Internet is booming, an evening newspaper with a daily circulation of 500,000 copies has now sold less than 200,000 yuan and a year loss of 10 million pounds, which undoubtedly shows that there are big problems for newspapers."

Andy's words made everyone in Standard Newspaper look disappointed, and they were all worried about their future in their hearts. Many people have already thought about the difficulties after unemployment.

"However, I rejected the suggestion of large-scale layoffs, because the next newspaper reform will use many people. Although many people will not face the fate of being laid off, we must be mentally prepared to be adjusted and salary drop to reduce newspaper losses. If we cannot accept it, I don't mind laying him off..."

"call--"

The stagnant atmosphere in the conference room was significantly relieved after Andy finished speaking, and someone could even hear the relief.

"Today, the representatives of the United Newspaper were here. My first decision was to lend £20 million to the newspaper to ease the financial crisis and serve as a reserve for the financial crisis to survive the cold winter of the financial crisis. After all, Standard Newspaper has now no longer borrowed money from banks."

Andy's words made the management of Evening Standard's newspaper's happy expression, but the representatives of the United Newspaper nodded with a bitter face. They had thought about whether they would invest in capital and dilute their shares.

Now it seems that this young man has no plans at all. He just drags them to death without any effort and increases the debt burden for the Standard Evening News. Even if he makes a profit in the future, the joint newspaper as a shareholder will not expect to get a penny of dividends, let alone power on the board of directors. It seems that this young man will not miss them at all. Well, he has become a mascot.

"The second thing, starting next week, the London Evening Standard will become the first orthodox newspaper in the UK to be changed to a free newspaper..."

Wow—

There was an uproar in the conference room, and everyone stared at the new boss in shock, as if they wanted to confirm whether they had heard it wrong.

"That's right, it's a free evening newspaper, just like a subway newspaper!"

After Andy's plain tone was confirmed again, everyone's expressions were not calm, and the representative of the United Daily News even spoke up with a dark face and questioned: "As shareholders, we are interested in this..."

"I don't need to win your opinions!" Andy looked at the other party with a cold look, and directly interrupted the other party's doubts. "Also, don't interrupt me when I speak. You must understand the rules and not be an example!"

"You-" The representative of the United Newspaper, who was so angry that he blushed, glared at him, but he had no choice. As the absolute major shareholder, Andy Smith, who completely wanted to do whatever he wanted.

"I don't like rude people. We are having a meeting. You have already hindered the normal progress of the meeting. Please go out!" As Andy finished speaking with some contempt, the bodyguard sitting at the door stood up and walked to the other party with a cold breath.

"Sir, please!"

"You--" Hei Rubata's face was invited out in the eyes of everyone. He originally wanted to shout a few words, but looking at the bodyguards who were like giant towers, he held back everything.

"Okay, there are no irrelevant people, the meeting continues." Andy said without caring as he looked at the door of the conference room closed again.

"I know that after the 180-year paid history and becoming a free newspaper, some people will not understand it. However, if you want to turn losses into profits, you must make changes. We don't want the 50pcs, but the annual fee will bring us market share. After the circulation volume soars, relying on our nearly two hundred years of distribution history and influence, it will increase advertising profits.

At the same time, the national issuance will be cancelled, and the future issuance areas will only be limited to Greater London and surrounding areas!"

The management of Standard Newspaper in the conference room was already numb. This reform is more subversive than layoffs, and it is completely abandoning tradition. Yes, it is a tradition that is nearly 200 years old.

"Although it is free to read, the content cannot be slim at all. Our national and international news and the regional dominance of the City of London must not give up. Entertainment gossip, sports reports, life versions, commentary articles, and even comics and horoscopes cannot be missed.

Want to go to the West District to watch the theater? The theater list is complete, and usually there are dedicated comments on popular dramas. You can't miss any discounts, big gifts, and small advertisements.

Before the revision starts this week, we must cover 12 subway lines in London, and the 273 station lobbies must have special free newspaper boxes. I want to make the Standard Evening News the most famous free newspaper in London..."

Everyone in the Standard Newspaper industry stared at me. I don’t have 4 days left, so why are you so anxious?

"boss..."

Andy looked at Mariins, the manager of the Standard Newspaper, who was talking, and nodded and said, "You said."

"Ahem, boss, isn't it a bit too nervous for 4 days? After all, it requires planning and manual preparation..."

Andy couldn't help but smile, thinking that he was waiting for you to ask. "Otherwise, why don't I carry out large-scale layoffs to reduce expenses?

Apart from journalists, editors and necessary personnel, aren’t the rest of the people? We set up a new department, the Market Development Department, and if we don’t want to be laid off, we will enter the Development Department. After the publication is published at 4:00 pm every day, we will go to major subway stations, bus stations, and office buildings to distribute them in the concentrated areas of major subway stations, bus stations, and office buildings.”

"..." All the members of the conference room were silent.

Andy looked at Dougville, the editor-in-chief with a very tangled face and said, "Doug, the quality of the newspaper content cannot be reduced in the slightest. I hope you can control this."

"I understand the boss."

Seeing the other party nodding seriously, Andy nodded with satisfaction and looked at the supervisor of the advertising department, "Your advertising department needs to expand personnel, and the newspaper can be transferred. If there is no recruitment, we will need to redesign after the newspaper starts to be free. Our advertising contract needs to be re-designed. The advertising department will become the most important department of the newspaper in the future. I hope you don't let me down. I hope to see results in three months!"

The Mediterranean supervisor of the advertising department couldn't help but feel trembling. He was a smart person, so he naturally heard the meaning of the new boss's words and replied excitedly: "Please rest assured, boss, our advertising department will not disappoint you."

"Then let's wait and see!" Andy retracted his gaze and looked at the newspaper manager Marlins and continued: "From this year, we will increase investment in the 50-year-old Standard Evening News Drama Award, the 30-year-old annual Bar Standard Evening News and the Standard Evening News British Film Award, these three awards with huge influence in the Commonwealth are undoubtedly the huge wealth of the Standard News Agency and have huge potential to tap. I can understand that it was limited by funds and could not increase the scale, but starting this year, don't let me down.

By the way, maybe the annual bar will be outdated, so you can add new elements, nightclubs, and famous DJ selections to let readers vote, increase interaction, and increase young readers!"

Mariins was in a cold and depressed heart. When he heard the words of the new boss, his eyes lit up. This was undoubtedly a very reliable idea. You should know that the three Standard Evening News Awards are very influential, especially the Drama Awards, which can be fully star-studded and allow big stars to attend. However, with losses every year, the newspaper has no extra ability to do it. It can only reduce funds every year, attract sponsorship, and rely on the TV station to support it.

Now that new bosses attach so much importance to it, it is undoubtedly the best way to increase the influence of standard newspapers. As long as the funds are sufficient, they will definitely be able to handle it well. With more celebrities coming, there will naturally be ratings and more advertisements.

The meeting lasted for more than two hours, and later all management teams expressed their opinions and improved the details of various reforms. After the end, a group of people rushed back to their respective departments to convey the central idea of ​​the new boss.

This day was undoubtedly an important turning point in the standard newspaper industry with a history of 182 years. It changed from national xing to "regional xing", and the name plus "London" became the London Evening News; sales were changed to free reading, and only published for five days a week, namely Monday to Friday.
