American Fortune Life

Everyone in the meeting left the 58th floor with excited and excited expressions on their faces. The new boss's philosophy and courage, momentum and determination, the new boss' impassioned encouragement and recognition of "Newsweek", Undoubtedly, this group of newspaper executives who have worked hard for more than ten years felt extremely excited.

What people are most afraid of is not having the motivation and goal to move forward, because that will make them sink slowly, especially when the road ahead is bleak and there is no hope in sight.

The appearance of Andy undoubtedly made the management of the newspaper office see the future. They are extremely excited about their careers, and they are full of affection for the newspaper office. They don't want to see it sink and die. .

Unlike the excited and happy subordinates, Andy, who was sitting alone in the luxurious and spacious office, fell into deep thought.

For "House of Cards", Andy has concerns. His identity and background will make this novel attract much attention. The grandfather of the party whip and the father of the congressman, no matter how you look at it, Nima has a reflection in it, and Readers' brains are very strong, and they will never be able to hold the associations of interested people, even if the story is completely fictitious.

Forget it, make a phone call and ask, if it really affects the family, then move the story to the UK, anyway, the first version of the previous life is about the British political scene.

. . . . . .

In half an hour, under the introduction of Andy Gaoyu, Old Smith took off his glasses, rubbed the bridge of his nose lightly, and after a moment of silence, he said in a low voice to the hands-free phone on the desk: "Don't worry about the mapping. Or influence. To be honest, I really want to read the novel you are talking about now. You want to write a textbook on contemporary American politics. What I am most worried about is whether your pen can support the whole story. !"

Indeed, if Andy is just a writer in the ordinary sense, old Smith’s worries are very necessary. Sometimes it is really difficult to write a novel just by imagination if you lack life experience and lack of professional knowledge. Come.

But after all, Andy is not an ordinary person. What he has to do is to restore the TV series to novels through his own reprocessing. Naturally, writing skills are not difficult for him.

"Don't worry, grandpa, when I finish writing, I'll send you an email to take a look first. If there's any problem, I'll revise it then."

"Well, I'll wait and see..."

Andy hung up the phone with a relaxed smile on his face. Thinking of his grandfather's chuckle when he affirmed the protagonist's identity as a donkey gang, he couldn't help but feel amused.

Looking at the time, the purpose of coming back to stabilize the morale of the army has been completed, and there is no need to worry too much about the next work. Regarding the layoff issue, it still needs to wait until the CEO arrives to discuss it with Jon.

When he got home, Ivana and the maid had put lunch on the table and waited for him.

Andy put his arms around Ivana's waist, kissed her on the cheek, took off the suit and handed it to her, unbuttoned the cuff buttons of the shirt, rolled up the sleeves, and walked to the bathroom.

"Honey, is everything going well?" Ivana leaned against the door of the bathroom, looked at Andy who was washing his hands and face, and asked with concern.

"It went smoothly. What I want is a smooth transition, not turmoil. What can cause turmoil at present is nothing more than large-scale layoffs. I went in the morning to dispel the concerns of employees..."

Ivana nodded in agreement. As the executive vice president of a real estate group, she naturally understood this. She took Andy's arm and walked into the restaurant together to have lunch.

After lunch, Ivana lay on the sofa, yawned lazily, and looked at her boyfriend who was concentrating on typing on a notebook at a desk not far away.

Picking up the remote control, turning off the TV, getting up from the sofa, Shi Shiran walked behind Andy, hugged him from behind, pressed his chin on his shoulder, looked at the densely packed letters on the laptop screen, and asked curiously : "New novel?"

"Well, a political novel for Newsweek,

House of Cards. "Andy recovered from the divine state when Ivana hugged him, and stopped his typing hands.

"Oh, I'm going to be the first reader, you write, I'll pour you a cup of coffee, I'm going to take a nap, I feel very tired..."

Andy looked at Ivana who put down the coffee for himself and walked back to the bedroom, and couldn't help but smile. He had tormented her a lot these days, and with the preparation of the dinner, he was definitely exhausted. It seemed that he was a little too much , ahem.

He is already familiar with the issue of restoring the novel in the "House of Cards" TV series, and there is no difficulty. Sometimes he feels that he has become Jin Yong. Using novel serialization to support the sales of newspapers is simply worthy of the name.

In the next few days, Andy found an excellent executive CEO for "Newsweek" through a headhunting company. Frank Gehry, the former executive vice president of the Chicago Tribune Company, was able to recruit such a large newspaper. The vice president, I have to say the Chicago Tribune, which is also caught in the acquisition, but after listening to Frank Gehry's story.

Andy shook his head and laughed, and finally understood why he left the Chicago Tribune. It wasn't that he didn't have a place after the acquisition, but that this acquisition, which seemed huge and involved $8.3 billion, was actually to acquire the Chicago Tribune's financial assets. The owner only took out less than 400 million US dollars, and the funds used for other acquisitions all came from debt financing.

When Frank Gehry learned that the other party was going to acquire Forum Corporation by means of "financial operations with high leverage and debt financing and employee stock option plans", and the company's board of directors also agreed, he resolutely decided to quit because he was more powerful than anyone else. I understand how bad the Tribune Company's funding gap is, with a debt of 12 billion. Damn, now there is another real estate developer who wants to speculate, and he can't see the future at all.

After hearing about the acquisition method and the occupation of the funder, Andy knew that the Chicago Tribune Company, a newspaper giant with a history of 160 years, was over.

"Trust me, Frank, in the future you will be absolutely proud of the decisions you made today!"

Although Frank Gehry didn't understand why his new boss said that, but since he chose to leave, he naturally wouldn't regret it.

He is a JIng talent who belongs to the media industry and has rich experience in large-scale newspaper management. He soon came up with a layoff plan with the management of newspapers such as Jon Meacham, involving 31 branches. Separately from institutions with financial problems to be investigated.

The plan was handed over to Andy, and it was quickly approved and implemented. However, for some old employees of "Newsweek", Andy did not choose to fire them directly after giving them a little resignation compensation. Transferred to the daily newspaper that is in preparation.

Pete Kaplan didn't have much opinion on this. Firstly, it was the decision of the big boss. Secondly, the group of people who were transferred had rich publishing experience after all, and the daily office was originally integrated from a number of regional newspapers. It is complicated, and now a group of new people have been added, so it is good to disrupt all of them, which will help the distribution and integration of personnel.

All work is proceeding in an orderly manner, and Andy's restoration of the "House of Cards" novel is also very smooth, and the first 8 episodes of the first season have been written.

After being approved by his grandfather, Old Smith, he handed it over to Jon Meacham, and Jon was immediately overjoyed with excitement. After all, this novel is indeed a very classic, cold and depressing, and it is a complete critical realism style.

"Boss, your novel simply opened a window for the public to imagine power. Through the window, they can peek into the little-known but important Washington, and imagine the cruel struggle at the peak of power and the human nature in the entanglement of interests. The dark side, it's just awesome, I've seen how people love and go after this novel, genius, boss, you're a genius!"

Andy wasn't very happy with Jon Meacham's compliments, not because he had heard and watched too many such words, but because he was in a bad mood now, as for why, hehe, because his backyard was on fire up.
