American Fortune Life

More than a dozen people from Andy's group entered the "New York Observer" newspaper, which attracted the attention of all newspaper employees.

Lawyer Nielsen and financial manager David temporarily formed an acquisition team, leading several men who had roughly estimated the assets of The Observer based on all the information they could understand. Andy had already seen it on the way.

Andy hopes that he will be able to win the Observer today, so he will be taken by the acquisition team. Once he and Arthur Carter have reached an agreement, he will immediately sign a contract to complete the acquisition and immediately let the acquisition team take over. The New York Observer.

Pete Kaplan looked at Andy who was walking towards the newspaper owner's office with complex eyes and shouted, "Whatever you see, go to work!"

Arthur Carter's secretary saw Oston Smith walking up with a group of people in suits and leather shoes, and stood up and said hello.

"Good morning Annie, is Mr. Arthur Carter here?" Allston asked with a smile.

"Good morning, Mr. Smith. Mr. Carter is here. He said he'll go straight in when you come. Who are these?" Annie answered with a smile.

Allston did not introduce Andy's identity, but said that he had already made an appointment with Mr. Arthur Carter.

Andy always smiled with sunshine. The secretary Anne felt very familiar and did not recognize it for a while. After all, Andy wore a pair of black-framed glasses today.

Andy turned back to let the bodyguards and people from the acquisition team wait in the outside lounge area, followed by Auston and female secretary Anne into Arthur Carter's office.

Arthur Carter's office is very luxuriously decorated. Two red solid wood doors walk into the lounge area on the left. A set of black and white, diamond-shaped geometric sofas surround a square table, and there are hanging walls on the sides of the door. Coat mirror with golden border.

Behind a large rectangular desk, Arthur Carter is sitting on the boss chair. Behind him is a golden-framed oil painting. The furnishings and decorations around it are also very artistic. The most are sculptures, bronzes and irons. Yes, there are plaster and clay. On the other side are four huge windows. The sun shines through the glass into the office, making some golden decorations sparkle.

Arthur Carter saw Oston walk in with a young man, put down his cigar, got up from the boss chair, bypassed the desk, and greeted him.

Andy looked at the old man with meticulous thin hair, white shirt, black trousers and a strap, and a bow tie on his neck. He was a bit stupid because of his age, but full of energy and bright eyes. Under the introduction, the old man smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Young man, it's nice to meet you. You know you're in the US right now. I like your novel very much. Are you interested in opening a column in my newspaper?"

Andy held the hand of the old man with a confident sunny smile on his face. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Carter. Thank you for loving my novel. As for the question of opening a column, this takes some time. Urgent follow-up novel draft, so ... can only be sorry. "

"Haha, it's nothing. As long as you have the will, you can come to our newspaper to open a column at any time. I am very much looking forward to working with you." Arthur Carter was not displeased, but patted Andy's hand with a smile. Stone and Andy led the sofa in the lounge area and motioned for them to sit down.

"Aston, you have a very good son!" Arthur Carter leaned back on the sofa, with a faint smile on his face, and spoke slowly and slowly to Aston.

"Thank you Mr. Carter for his compliment. He is still young and needs more sharpening." Auston replied humblely, turned to look at Andy with a smile on his face, and then looked at Arthur Carter. "This time, It's Andy who wants to see you. Andy, let's talk to Mr. Arthur Carter. "

Arthur Carter looked at Andy with curiosity. Andy put a smile on his face and said sincerely, "Mr. Arthur Carter, I heard that you want to sell The New York Observer? I don't know the price?"

There was a flash of light in Arthur Carter's eyes, and he looked closely at the young man on the opposite side, glanced at a pair of Auston that had nothing to do with me, and asked with a smile: "Why, Andy, you also want to acquire The Observer "?"

"Why not?" Andy's mouth slightly tilted, with a confident smile on his face. "This is an excellent newspaper with a history of 20 years. Although its circulation is not high, it has a very high circulation in the Manhattan area. Important position, I like its news concept and cynical humor, even if it is just a regional XING newspaper. "

After listening to Andy's words, Arthur Carter couldn't help sighing about the young talents. I didn't expect that this newspaper suddenly attracted two young talents, whether they were physical appearances or academics, Both young people have striking similarities.

"Oh, Oston, you have such an excellent son, it is really enviable! It is worthy of being a famous writer who speaks drippingly, which praises the virtues of the newspaper and speaks of flaws. I think you should have learned, 》 Now losing 2 million US dollars every year, how can you guarantee to turn a profit? After all, I started this newspaper. For the past 19 years, this newspaper has always been my pride. Now I am old and my The younger generation didn't value this newspaper that caused losses. Even if I were to sell it, I would find a suitable new owner for it. Young people, can you shoulder this burden? "

Watching Arthur Carter finally said, shaking his head slightly, it does not seem to be optimistic that Andy can support the future of The Observer.

Andy smiled confidently, "Mr. Carter, let's not talk about the profitability of newspapers. I just want to tell you that among those who intend to buy newspapers, maybe only me is your best choice. If it is really for the sake of For the sake of this newspaper that has been in existence for 20 years. "

For the first time, Arthur Carter lost a smile on her face, staring at Andy with a deep look, and said lightly, "Young man, talk about your reasons."

Andy said with a confident smile: "As far as I know, plus me, as well as Robert De Niro's Tribeca Group and Judd KSN, the three parties intend to purchase The Observer. I don't know what price they want to pay for this. A newspaper, but I believe they are not the best buyers. "

Andy stretched out a finger, and then said, "First of all, Robert, although he is very famous, but how old is he left to be? He wants to buy this newspaper, maybe just because of it. Its fame does not care much about the value of this newspaper. If it continues to lose money for years, then the future of "The Observer" will be put on the shelf and sold by him again. "

He stretched out his second finger again, and the smile on his face seemed more confident. "Jade KSN, he is a businessman, and maybe he will tell you without hesitation that he bought it to make money, right? Perhaps he can also take pleasure in it, Maybe he can be respected if he is done well. He will use business instead of the news concept, and in the end he will make Observer an entertainment tabloid for profit. "

After Andy spoke a little, because Carter's female secretary had already delivered coffee in, took the coffee cup and placed it on the table, and continued to say confidently: "And the only thing I worry about is age. It is easy to be underestimated. I never doubt my abilities. First, my profession is a writer. I know more about publishing than the other two. Second, I have a detailed plan to get the newspaper out of trouble. Ability to face the challenge, the biggest dilemma in the American newspaper industry is that it is being controlled by an aging thought and managed by some middle-aged people who carry the burden of battle, so my appearance is not affected by the old ideas Wouldn't it be a wonderful suggestion for a 21-year-old young man to come to bear this burden that has been going on for 19 years?
