Chapter 380

Newsweek, one of the three major American weekly magazines, is the weekly with the most honors for its excellent comments. It is a news weekly published in New York and published in the United States and Canada.

Newsweek is often seen as more liberal than time and more conservative than American news and world report.

Andy's Pete Kaplan with a smile and Jon Mitcham with a wry smile walk out of the lounge and slowly down the hall.

"Andy, to be honest, when you bought the New York Observer, which has been losing money for years, you should be joking in the industry. After all, you are too young. But now, not only are you turning losses into profits, but also your circulation is growing explosively. I heard that you are also going to create a daily newspaper. Recently, there are many regional Xing newspapers bought by you. It's amazing!" Jon Mitcham looked up at the corner of his mouth with exclamation, and Andy's side face with a calm and confident smile exclaimed.

"Ha ha, it's not my credit. Although I know some media industry, I can't compare it with you senior people. I can only say that Peter does a good job, but I just give the professional things to the professional people. Since I don't understand, I don't interfere. I give Peter enough rights. The daily business is Peter doing. But Pete's dream all the time, ha ha. "

Andy's eyes flashed with bright light, and his face smiled more brightly, which made Pete laugh and wave his hand modestly, but made Jon Mitcham's mood complex, envied and envied words, and watched Jon's expression change profoundly.

"The media in our country is dominated by liberals, who are neither left nor right, and who have been impartial about your newspaper for more than ten years. This kind of insistence is very rare. Especially after you took the lead, people thought that the position of the observer would change, but a money laundering report shocked everyone's chin. To be honest, you are such a boss, PI It's so happy! " Jon Mitcham smiled and flattered Andy.

"Haha, Jon, I agree with you very much. I'm really very lucky. I heard that the boss of your weekly started to withdraw funds last year? Alas, it is inevitable that the market is stagnant and the debt loss is inevitable. I see the report that you will make a loss of 40 million in the next two years. However, it should not be a big problem for you. After all, it is an old newspaper with a history of more than 70 years. "

Peter Kaplan looked at Jon Mitcham intensely, and he sneered at him from time to time. He was a friend of the same trade. He had never been in touch with him before. Although he didn't know that the saying "no matter how diligent you are in the country of rabbit, you can't steal it if you're not Jian", but it's a little strange for an outsider to flatter his boss. He doesn't want to change his job, NIMA. It's about robbing himself for food Bowl.

Jon Mitcham's face changed a little ugly, but he still tried to bear the embarrassment. He smiled awkwardly and saw that there was still no expression change. Andy Smith, with a charming smile on his handsome face, could not help sighing.

To be honest, in addition to attending the so-called alliance, he wanted to find a family. The boss of Newsweek did draw a lot of money last year. Now the newspaper is self financing. Since reporting the abuse of prisoners, they have been under pressure in Washington. The paper media has been in recession for two years in a row Ban wants to get rid of the loss.

With 315 million bank loans and a serious loss of 10 million US dollars every year, the shrinking paper media market has the only advantage of Newsweek, a world-famous brand of 500, and more than 70 years of newspaper history.

But few people are willing to spend money to take over this mess. Since this year, the American economy has been incomprehensible, the stock market has gone up and down, the real estate market is treacherous, and some large banks have also strangely tightened the issuance of commercial loans.

Jon Mitcham had put his hopes on some large groups, but when he came to see, except Murdoch and the owners of several medium-sized newspapers, most of them were editors in chief of some newspapers, which disappointed him.

However, after Andy's late arrival, he saw the hope again. This young man is not only a billionaire with good money, but also interested in the media. A newspaper bought turned a loss into a profit and rose. Isn't this an excellent buyer!

Looking at Pitt Kaplan, who has hostile eyes and looks on guard, Jon can't help smiling bitterly, knowing that it's wishful thinking to cheat the young billionaires in the presence of this kind of insiders, but he said: "let me be frank, Mr. Smith, are you interested in buying Newsweek?"

Andy walked down the stairs with a slight lag. The smile on his face still lingered. He looked at Jon Mitcham with a slight side face, showing his white teeth and said: "Oh? Are you looking for a buyer? What price? "

"Fifty million dollars!" Jon Mitcham bit his teeth and said the price of his boss.

"Boss" Pitkaplan was anxious to stop it. To be honest, he was worried that his boss, who was not poor in money, agreed that Newsweek seemed to be a piece of fat meat. In fact, it was definitely a piece of rotten meat, a huge pit. He spent money to buy a loss goods, which could definitely be disgusted to death. The brand and reputation were indeed very advantageous, but it could not be regarded as food or garbage.The main thing is that Newsweek is definitely at the forefront of the White House blacklist. Zipperton, 911 and other things, it just spray the White House into a sieve, and Washington doesn't kill them.

Andy's mouth moved, and he smiled faintly. He continued downstairs, leaving Jon Mitcham with a hint of hope. "It's too expensive..."

"Mr. Smith, we can talk about the price. Do you really want to buy?" Jon Mitcham made two quick steps and pursued with an excited expression on his face.

Andy glanced at him, shook his head and smiled, just to see black lively and Leighton Meister come to him with a glass of champagne.

"Is it done?" Blacklively smiled sweetly, naturally with Andy's arm on his arm, and Leighton also took the other side.

"Well, it's done. Let me introduce you to Jon Mitcham, editor in chief of Newsweek. These two beauties are black lively, Queen s of gossip girl, and Leighton Meister, Queen B."

Andy helped the three people to make an introduction and talked a few words. It seems that he forgot the topic just now. Jon Mitcham can only talk one sentence at a time, hoping to get Andy's reply.

To be honest, there are many people who want to know Andy at the party. After all, it's normal for the youngest billionaire to be noticed as the new leader of the newspaper. The two young queens, along with Andy, have met a lot of people and received a lot of polite praise, which makes them laugh more brilliantly. Although they also know that they benefit from Andy, otherwise, these celebrities How do you care about two young actors.

On the other side, pitkaplan squinted at Jon Mitcham, who was a little absent-minded. After a short silence, Pete opened his mouth and said, "Jon, the situation of your newspaper office is clear to all, 50 million yuan, ha ha ha, it seems delicious, but it's hard to swallow!"

"Ha ha." Jon has a smile on his lips. He can flatter Andy, but he doesn't care about Pete Kaplan. Everyone is an industry. He also knows Pete's ability, which is a little worse than himself. "Pete, you should know the influence of Newsweek itself, which is irresistible to anyone who wants to get involved in the media industry. I admit that the observer hasn't done it recently No, but you know, compared with NEWSWEEK, observer is just a baby. Do you think Mr. Smith is such a smart person that he will not be interested in it? "

"Is it? But Jon, don't forget the debt of your newspaper office and the huge number of employees. I believe that no one will want to face your employees' Union. History can not only bring details, but also a synonym for trouble! Do you owe the bank 200 million or 300 million? I think it takes a lot of courage to spend another 50 million yuan to take over a weekly that has been beaten down by Washington! " Pete Kaplan sneered, with a faint smile on his face, not caring about Jon's ugly expression, and tit for tat.

Well, company is a friend.
