After exchanging a few words with Shen Bi, Xia Yu sat down with him face to face, drank tea and chatted, mainly Xia Yu said and Shen Bi listened, the main content was to introduce the basic situation of "Economy" magazine.
When he learned that "Economics" magazine aims to become a top financial magazine, and is still benchmarking the two magazines "Forbes" and "Fortune", Shen Bi raised his brows, revealing a look of interest.
Although he is British and does not work in the United States, Forbes and Fortune are American magazines. However, such world-renowned financial magazines have long been influential throughout the European and American world. Of course, he is not unfamiliar.
Now I suddenly heard that the "Economy" magazine that Xia Yu wants to build aims at these two. It seems that Xia Yu is not very young, but his ambition is not small!
Regardless of other things, but the name of this magazine gives the magazine a good foundation.
After hearing about Xia Yu’s general plan, Shen Bi was also a little relieved, because if according to Xia Yu’s statement, as long as it is done well, can it become a world financial magazine, alongside Forbes and Fortune. It's hard to say, but at least in Xiangjiang and even in Asia, it is still very promising to become a top financial magazine.
"Shen Sheng, your time is precious, so I won't take up your time any more. Or, shall we start now?"
After three rounds of tea, Xia Yu put down the cup and asked with a smile.
"Yes, then I'll follow your instructions." Shen Bi said with a smile, tidying up his clothes.
Then, Xia Yu asked the shooting team to set up the equipment and started the interview.
"Shen Sheng, may I ask..."
...
As time went by, after asking all the prepared questions, Xia Yu ended the interview and ordered the team to pack the equipment.
"Shen Sheng, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to accept the interview. When our magazine comes out, we will send it to you as soon as possible." Xia Yu stood up and thanked again.
"Haha, I should thank Xia Sheng for interviewing me. As the cover character of the first issue of your "Economic" magazine, it is an honor to look forward to your magazine!" Shen Bi and Xia Yu shook hands and laughed.
"It's getting late, then we won't bother you, see you next time!"
After being sent out by Shen Bi, Xia Yu took the team and rushed back to the company, and then handed the interview materials to the Minister of Information Sun Xin as soon as possible, asking him to sort out the materials and write a press release as soon as possible.
Sun Xin didn't dare to neglect the task assigned by Xia Yu himself. After handing over the work to his deputy, he immediately took action.
In the morning of the next day, after reviewing the press release again and confirming that there were no errors, Sun Xin handed it over to Xia Yu.
After reading Sun Xin's manuscript, Xia Yu revised it again, then called Yan Wenhan in again, handed him the manuscript, and let him take care of the next thing.
...
In the afternoon, Yan Wenhan walked into Xia Yu's office with joy, holding the model of the first issue of "Economics" magazine in his hand, coming to Xia Yu and handing it respectfully to Xia Yu.
"Boss, the model of the first issue of "Economics" magazine is here, please take a look."
"Let me see!"
Xia Yu quickly took over the hotly published magazine from Yan Wenhan, and the first thing that caught his eye was the photo of Shen Bi on the cover.
"This photo was taken very well! It can greatly enhance the taste of "Economic" magazine!" Xia Yu praised.
In the photo, Shen Bi has a solemn face. Although it is only a photo, the aura of the boss is still coming. It seems that the photographer’s technique is very good, and the angle selected is good. Xia Yu has made up his mind to shoot this way in the future. The task was directly entrusted to him.
Then, Xia Yu opened the magazine and began to browse page by page, the more satisfied the smile on his face became.
This magazine completely met his strict standards, and in some places it exceeded his expectations. It can be seen that Lin Shanyuan and others really took great care to create this magazine.
In terms of material, the paper used is also very good, and the entire magazine is color-printed, the workmanship is very exquisite, and it looks high-end.
Although the cost is relatively high, Xia Yu’s magazine is mainly aimed at mid-to-high-end people and expands its influence among mid- and high-level people. They are the owners of good money. As long as the magazine is worth the money, they are absolutely willing to pay. buy.
Moreover, as "Economics" magazine, which is determined to become the world's top magazine, the design and paper of the magazine itself are not good enough. How can it compete with other magazines?
"This magazine is ready for publication! Fully up to standard!"
At the end, Xia Yu closed the magazine with satisfaction and smiled and said to Yan Wenhan.
Hearing such a high evaluation from the boss Xia Yu, Yan Wenhan's face was also full of smiles, and it was not in vain that he spent a lot of energy on supervision and management, and finally completed the boss's task!
However, thinking of the actual situation in the printing plant now, the smile on Yan Wenhan's face slowly faded, revealing a look of embarrassment.
"If you encounter any difficulties, let's talk about it." Seeing Yan Wenhan's unconcealed expression, Xia Yu smiled and asked.
"Boss, your "Xun Qin Ji" is still on hot sale. The printing factory is still printing at full capacity. There is not enough output to print "Economy" magazine. What do you think about this?" Yan Wenhan spit out the truth, said After that, his expression became more relaxed, and he looked straight at Xia Yu, "Xun Qin Ji" is the boss's book, this matter can only be left to the boss to decide.
After hearing this, Xia Yu was taken aback, then shook his head slightly, a little bit dumbfounded.
I thought that some difficulties hindered the publication of "Economics" magazine, but he did not expect it to be his novel.
But it is impossible for him to stop printing "Xun Qin Ji" and print "Economy" magazine instead. No matter who it is, thinking rationally, it is impossible to make such a decision.
First of all, we have to face the problem of making money. Every time I sell a copy of "Looking for the Qin", we are making money for Xia Yu and also making money for the company. This is the most obvious thing we can think of. Only fools can do such things.
Another reason is the most important, that is, the sales of "Xun Qin Ji" are also continuously feeding back to "Jiuding Daily" and increasing the sales of "Jiuding Daily" in Southeast Asia.
Although in Xia Yu's plan, "Economics" magazine is another subsidiary of Jiuding Newspaper Company, Optimus Prime, but this Optimus Prime has not yet appeared, and has not yet been established!
But now the company’s Optimus Prime is "Jiuding Daily", which is the most fundamental.
No matter how important the "Economy" magazine is, it must first stand aside. Now is the best time for "Jiuding Daily" to conquer the city in Southeast Asia, and the sales of "Jiuding Daily" should not be affected by internal reasons.
Otherwise, if this happened, and then caused adverse effects, Xia Yu would definitely be laughed at by other colleagues!
There are only two solutions. Either continue to expand the printing plant and increase printing output, or postpone the publication of "Economy" magazine for a few days, and wait until the printing plant has surplus capacity before launching "Economy" magazine outside.
It is a pity that the former method is not suitable for Jiuding Newspaper Company, because the printing plant is not suitable for expansion in a short period of time, so the "Economic" magazine can only be wronged!
Moreover, the postponement of some publications of "Economics" magazine will not have any negative effects, which is completely acceptable.
Thinking of this, Xia Yu said to Yan Wenhan: "Wenhan continue to print "Xun Qin Ji". At this stage, "Jiu Ding Daily" is more important and our foundation. Nothing can happen. The issue of "Economy" magazine The plan is postponed. When the printing plant has surplus capacity, you immediately notify me and arrange for someone to start printing the first issue of the magazine."
"Okay, boss!" Yan Wenhan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly responded.
"By the way, boss, do you want to talk to Professor Lin and the others about this matter? I see that they are looking forward to the release of the magazine." As if thinking of something, Yan Wenhan said again.
"You go... no, let me talk to them." Xia Yu just said, thinking that something was inappropriate, and quickly changed his words. After speaking, he stood up and walked out, ready to go to the fifth floor.
Although Lin Shanyuan and others collect money for Xia Yu to do things, they are not mainly for money, more importantly for fame. Now that the magazine finally came out, because of the company’s reasons, they couldn’t publish it immediately. There is disappointment.
These people are related to the later publication of "Economics" magazine. Xia Yu still intends to come forward and explain to them, so as to calm their emotions and at least show his attitude.
