America's Road to Wealth

The founder of the weekly "New York Observer" was Arthur Carter, a New York real estate developer.

Arthur founded and runs the magazine.

At first, it was mainly to promote his real estate company.

At the beginning, this magazine mainly focused on the real estate industry in New York and nearby areas.

Later, Arthur Carter discovered that the newspaper sold well, and the key was that it could enhance his influence.

Promote sales of your own real estate company.

He began to operate in earnest.

It's just that he lacks strength and the competition in the industry is fierce.

After more than 20 years of development, the New York Observer has been limited to New York and nearby New Jersey.

Elsewhere, it has little reputation.

The sales volume of each issue is generally around 30,000-50,000 copies.

After 1995,

With the rise of the Internet, the old editor-in-chief resigned.

The New York Observer even began to decline, with sales and advertising fees falling.

In the past, I could maintain my daily balance and even make some money.

After that, start losing money every year.

If it were not for holding it,

Arthur Carter would have sold it long ago if it had helped his real estate company.

After entering the year 2000.

The weekly's losses were getting worse each month.

So much so that Arthur Carter couldn't bear it anymore.

He began to spread rumors that he was selling the magazine.

In parallel space and time,

He couldn't sell it for several years, and it wasn't until 2006 that he sold it.

By that time, the weekly sales volume was only over 20,000 per issue.

In this time and space,

This was because Abel wanted to have his own newspaper at that time so that he could compete with possible public opinions.

He asked David Mellon,

Buy yourself a few influential New York newspapers.

The New York Sun and the New York Observer thus became Abel's bag.

After becoming the owner of these two newspapers, Abel combined his experience as a time traveler.

Reforms were made to both newspapers.

It turned out that he had no talent at all.

The changes he demanded from both newspapers were met with little success.

Fortunately, the New York Observer has a celebrity interview in every issue for a month.

And because of Abel, the celebrities invited were all prominent figures in New York.

This has somewhat promoted the sales of the New York Observer.

Let its previous average sales of about 40,000 copies per issue increase to about 60,000 to 70,000 copies.

This growth is actually quite good.

Because it is a big player among weekly magazines, the sales volume of each issue of Time Magazine is currently only about 150,000 copies.

If the New York Observer can maintain this sales volume for every issue, it will become one of the top twenty weekly magazines in the United States.

At that time, the "American Sun", which had been renamed, had daily sales of about 100,000 copies.

It looks better than the New York Observer, but the New York Observer is a weekly, one issue every week.

"American Sun" is a daily newspaper with one issue every day.

In terms of pricing, one copy of "The New York Observer" can buy almost five copies of "The American Sun".

That is, before Storm Smith came along.

Abel's reform of the two newspapers he bought has resulted in good profits for the "New York Observer".

But this kind of income is not useful for his ideas and creativity.

But he is in New York, and now he has some face.

The celebrities invited earlier are all willing to be interviewed by the New York Observer.

"American Sun" does not have such benefits due to positioning reasons.

Previous newspapers had relatively low bonuses and low reputation.

Naturally, there will be no development and it will remain the same.

Fortunately, the Smith storm is blowing across the United States this time.

On Abel's side, under the advice of David and the newly formed public relations department.

Using a not-so-clever method, he transferred part of his heat to the American Sun.

This made "American Sun" suddenly popular, leading to the current situation.

This is the case, which is actually a bit false.

The American Sun now sells this much per issue.

At least one-third is due to the newspaper's bonus, a little more than one-third is due to Abel's popularity at this time, and the remaining one-third or less is due to the strength of the newspaper itself.

If the Smith storm cools down in the United States, it can still maintain such daily sales.

That can prove that,

"American Sun" officially became one of the top ten newspapers in the United States.

The current ranking is a bit fake.

But anyway, Abel’s heat this time.

The American Sun received a lot of benefits.

The sister newspaper "New York Observer" next to me was jealous.

As a current affairs and financial genre, the New York Observer must be flaunted as professional and high-end.

It is impossible to learn the marketing method of "American Sun".

After much deliberation, the editorial department turned to the boss.

They found,

The boss of my own family,

So far, I have not officially accepted an interview with any newspaper or magazine.

If only the New York Observer could get first blood from the boss.

Obviously, you can take advantage of this popularity now and promote your fame to the elites across the United States.

This is what we have today,

The New York Observer sent the most elite interview team in the entire editorial department to the headquarters of MGM to interview Abel.

There were four people in the interview team.

There are a lighting engineer, a cameraman, an editor, and a reporter.

Among them, the editor is the leader, and he is also the editor-in-chief of the New York Observer, Dylan.

He was interviewing his own boss, so of course the New York Observer sent the best team.

The cameraman is the best, the lighting engineer is the best, and the editor is simply the chief editor.

Journalists. Journalists are the most beautiful.

The most beautiful one.

The beautiful reporter’s name is Ashley Liss.

Ashley is a graduate of Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism.

This is a college that ranks among the top in journalism majors in the United States.

She is very young. In the newsroom, many reporters or editors have higher academic qualifications than her.

Not to mention experience and work experience.

It's a pity that these people were excluded by Dylan.

Whoever calls them or them is either not a woman or not young and beautiful enough.

Ashley, on the other hand, had just joined the New York Observer for two days and was the most beautiful flower in the entire New York Observer newspaper office.

Dylan is not stupid.

With yourself watching over you, the reporter's ability doesn't matter.

The important thing is to satisfy the boss and let the boss see it through.

As a result, Ashley, a recent graduate from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University, got the job that everyone in the newspaper office was clamoring for.

This proves that sometimes, appearance is the primary productivity.

Ashley has been seeing him for nearly a month on the top floor of the MGM film headquarters building.

Abel Smith is the man who has stirred up the public opinion circles in the United States and made the American media circles as happy as the New Year.

At the same time, he is still his own boss.

The first thing I saw when I walked in was Ashley.

It was the tall, handsome, and polite young man in front of him.

He was not as young, energetic and unruly as Ashley imagined. His handsome face and brows revealed a confidence and maturity that was inconsistent with his peers.

Even the reporter who came to interview him was just an employee of an obscure magazine owned by him.

Nor was he domineering.

His attitude made Ashley and others feel like a breath of fresh air.

This paragraph can be added to the press release.

Ashley thought to herself.

"Good morning, Mr. Smith."

Dylan said hello quickly.

The other two people, including Ashley, also quickly said hello.

Abel smiled back at them.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Dylan humbly handed a piece of A4 paper to the boss.

"Mr. Smith, these are some of the questions we will ask you next."

"Do you think it should be increased or decreased?"

Abel took it, looked down, and found that it was full of commonplace questions.

After all, Dylan wanted to interview his boss, so how could he dare to ask excessive questions.

After a brief glance, Abel shook his head.

"Not very good. Dilan, I remember your name is this, right? These questions are too common." Abel said, holding an A4 paper.

The boss called him by the wrong name, and Dylan wanted to correct it.

But he didn't correct him in the end and let his boss call him Dilang, which sounded similar anyway.

"What do you mean?"

The humble editor-in-chief asks questions online.

"Such a common question. How much popularity can the New York Observer get? If you want to ask it, ask something sharp."

"Oh oh oh~" Dylan nodded quickly.

It would be better if it could be like this.

This will be of greater help to the sales and reputation of the New York Observer.

It's not that Dylan doesn't want to raise some explosive issues, it's just that he doesn't dare.

Of course Dilan couldn't wait for the boss to be so proactive now.

But Dylan doesn't know where the boss's bottom line is.

I don’t know which sharp questions can be asked and which ones should not be asked.

Dylan was also confused and could only ask again: "Then what questions should we ask?"

"Duran, are you the editor-in-chief of the New York Observer, or am I the editor-in-chief?"

Abel said matter-of-factly: "Of course it's up to you to think about these questions, and I'll decide whether to answer them or not!"

After finishing speaking, Abel shook his head slightly.

He noticed that Dylan's attitude had been so cautious since entering the room.

I asked Dylan to ask some sharp questions. I guess Dylan wouldn't dare to be too sharp.

After thinking about it, he happened to see Ashley, who was pretty and had a very good figure next to Dylan.

This beautiful reporter has been staring at herself excitedly.

Abel simply pointed at the beautiful reporter and said:

"Let this lady do it. Just like interviewing ordinary celebrities, let her choose questions that can make the "New York Observer" sell better and attract more attention. Di Lang will be there to control it and have a good sense of proportion. "

Dilan breathed a sigh of relief, then thought about the boss's idea, which seemed to be a good idea.

The key is that you don't have to take the blame, let Ashley take the blame.

This is why he insisted on letting Ashley come over today instead of other big reporters who were more capable and more qualified.

"Okay." Dylan said immediately: "Then let Ashley come."

Seeing her boss and editor-in-chief looking at her, Ashley was a little overwhelmed.

She first looked at the editor-in-chief, then at Abel, and finally said softly to Abel:

"BOSS. So what kind of questions should I ask? Where is the scale?"

Ashley isn't stupid either.

I knew that even though my boss said it so generously, if he was offended by the interview I was waiting for later, I would be the unlucky one.

Have you ever seen the editor-in-chief, who has so much power in the company, acting like a quail now?

Ashley just lacks qualifications and experience, not that she has a low IQ.

If she had a low IQ, she wouldn't be able to get into one of the best journalism schools in the United States!

Abel was annoyed by Ashley and Dylan's somewhat pushy attitude.

He said: "You look like you just graduated, Miss Ashley? Just like you learned in school, you can do the interview and ask the questions you want. Anyway, I don't have to answer some questions." , move faster!”

The boss mentioned this and urged me to do this.

Even if Ashley didn't want to have sex, she could only force herself to do it at this time.

What's more, no matter how young she is, she still has the aura of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.

Young people who have just graduated will always have some illusions and have not yet been tempered by society.

Courage is the most indispensable thing compared to old fritters.

Gritting her teeth, Ashley said: "Boss, shall I start?"

Abel nodded.

Dylan quickly ordered the lighting engineer and cameraman to move so that they could take some photos of the interview later.

Used in magazines.

When it’s over, Abel will also be photographed for a full-length cover photo.

It will be used in the latest issue of the New York Observer.

This is a benefit that leading magazines such as Forbes, Time, and Fortune do not have.

Only a biological son like the New York Observer can enjoy such treatment.

The interview officially begins.

Ashley's first question seemed a bit abrupt: "How would you describe yourself?"

Abel was stunned for a moment, looked at Ashley with a warrior expression on her face, and replied confidently: "Genius."

"You say you are a genius, what evidence do you have?"

"Evidence? In less than a year, I used dozens of dollars to earn a fortune of almost tens of billions of dollars. I think this should be the most powerful evidence, right?"

Alexander and his wife were not stingy with their only son.

In addition, he was already in Texas at the time, and he tested his abilities a little.

When he came to New York, he had a cash deposit of $70,000 with him.

There is also a credit card in his own name with a limit of $5,000.

There was also a supplementary credit card given to him by Alexander, on which Abel could spend $30,000 and then ask Alexander to repay the money.

No matter from any angle, he was not poor at that time.

But I don’t know if it’s spreading rumors or what.

The media behind him were concerned about the money he brought with him when he came to New York.

From a few thousand dollars at the beginning, it became a few hundred dollars, and recently it has become tens of dollars.

The media are saying that he only brought a few dozen dollars and made so much money in a short period of time.

The caliber was so uniform that Abel even wondered if it was a sign from the relevant US departments.

Abel thought tens of dollars was ridiculous, but it seemed more legendary.

It also makes him look more awesome.

He simply acquiesced, saying that he only brought a few dozen dollars to New York!

No one would expose such a trivial matter.

It doesn't hurt to expose it.

Before it is exposed, of course, you can blow it if you can.

Afraid of eggs.

Ashley heard this answer from the young and handsome boss.

The next question she had thought about was a little difficult to answer for a while.

Yes, this kind of person is nothing but a genius.

No matter how much money you spend, you can earn so much wealth in one year.

Does he still need evidence?

His wealth is his best evidence!

Ashley had no choice but to change the question and ask it to MGM.

“What made you wake up and suddenly buy MGM?”

It can be said that the reason for Abel's current popularity in the news is that he bought MGM.

Ashley feels that this question will also be of interest to readers.

This question is not too sharp, easy to answer, and suitable for bosses to show off.

But she didn't expect that Abel didn't answer as she thought.

Abel's answer was——

"On a whim. I came to Los Angeles mainly because I wanted to buy Marvel. When I was a kid, I loved Iron Man and Spider-Man. Now that I have enough money, I just bought the company that created them."

"After this, I can let Marvel create the comic plots I like. For example, make Iron Man become Spider-Man's father, or make Spider-Man a super rich man. I think this is very interesting!"

"Later, I happened to meet Kerkorian near Beverly Hills. Kerkorian asked me if I was interested in MGM. I asked about the price and thought it was not expensive, so I bought it."

Abel's answer this time is obviously inconsistent with his original intention of buying Marvel and MGM.

But he felt that his answer might make more Americans admire him.

Showing off wealth in China can easily arouse hatred among ordinary people.

It is also easy to attract Iron Fist's attention.

But flaunting wealth in the United States will also attract people who hate the rich.

But most of them are Americans who think you are awesome because of your wealth.

The national conditions are different. Here in the United States, being rich is really awesome.

Not just in daily life and influence.

But in the daily concept of Americans, rich people are awesome.

It means being superior to others, it means having noble blood, and it means being aloof.

This is a concept that capitalists have brainwashed for a long time.

In this case, a proper display of wealth, a proper Versailles.

It won't offend most ordinary Americans.

Instead, they may worship Abel even more because of his wealth and his age.

This is based on different national conditions, resulting in different results.

Both questions received different answers than I expected.

Ashley has initially realized the character of her boss.

This is a super rich man who is very confident and very egotistical.

Maybe that's what it is.

He was able to legally earn so much wealth in such a short period of time.

And the current Smith storm has set off in the media across the United States!

After realizing this, Ashley's questions became sharper and easier for Abel to use.

Her third question is——

"Do you have a girlfriend? If not, what type of woman would you like to find as your girlfriend? Or even your future wife?"

This question immediately made Abel's eyes light up.

It made him feel that the female reporter in front of him.

In addition to being very good-looking and having a very good figure.

He's not a fool, he still has abilities.

He smiled and spoke.
