Rupert, who had just finished saying this, said goodbye to everyone one by one, and immediately turned around and left the newspaper office without any nostalgia.

St. Jose had a straight face, and then he pressed his hands. After all, St. Jose had been a soldier, and he also felt a little oppressive. His expression was very serious.

The conference room also became quiet, and everyone's mood was relatively low. There was a feeling of panic and helplessness spreading in the conference room.

"Hello everyone, I am your future boss, St. Jose Cohen. I am very happy to meet you. Please work hard for me in the future and shine brightly."

The opening remarks were quite arrogant, which made everyone a little surprised. Boss, you are really a capitalist. Everyone's mood has begun to become a little angry. Some people want to raise their hands to scold him. You are the boss and cannot insult my character.

Then seeing that everyone was no longer lifeless, Saint Jose struck while the iron was hot and continued,

"The first thing I want everyone to know is that I am very rich, so everyone can rest assured that the salary arrears due to my previous term will be paid in full today. At the same time, I have prepared enough funds to maintain the operation of our newspaper. , everyone will get a bonus next month.”

Saint Jose's second sentence was a bit funny but very useful. It made everyone start to relax. The person who just raised his hand lowered his hand. It turns out that the boss is rich. Ah, working for the boss means giving money and bonuses, so that's okay. Now, the newspaper office will be my home from now on.

"The second thing that everyone needs to understand is that we are now in the same boat. We are all old newspaper people.

If the newspaper company really closes down, I believe everyone will really lose their job. Note that it will be completely unemployed. "Saint Jose seriously emphasized the word unemployment.

Normally, if a local newspaper in Argentina does not close down, most people are not willing to leave, and would rather wait for someone to poach them. Unless they really cannot pay wages, and the newspaper goes bankrupt, it is not easy to find a new job, unless they are at the backbone level of the business. , but there is a saying that goes well, how could you, such a powerful backbone, close down a newspaper? The local newspaper circle in Argentina is too small.

Most of the time, unless the newspaper media market expands to a certain extent and a new newspaper is born, you will probably never find a job again, but the job will disappear completely, because everyone only needs so many people. This is also the disadvantage of a small market.

After all, this is not a zero-sum game. If there is one less job, there may not be any more, and it is not an alarmist statement.

“The third thing I want to say is that my development goal is very simple. It is to use about three years to make our newspaper one of the top three in the country. The Clarion and the National are our goals. us,

There will not only be morning newspapers, but also evening newspapers, weekly newspapers, various newspapers, comic newspapers, periodicals, digests,

You may think this dream is too far away, but if people don’t have dreams, what’s the difference between them and salted fish? "

St. Hesse continued to blast, adding some chicken soup to the newspaper staff. His goal was simply to reach the top three before the current Bilon government was overthrown. He rarely set development goals, most of which were savings. strength.

"Everyone's salary will remain unchanged this month, and the newspaper will not go bankrupt. It will develop better and better in the future. There are good editors who can be recommended and hired. The salary is negotiable. If you recommend someone to join, you will be rewarded with 2,000 pesos."

I reassure everyone that poaching people also means that the newspaper will continue to expand and develop, which makes everyone's emotions high. This boss seems to be serious.

"Our newspaper will be profitable again starting next month, so everyone can rest assured."

"I have finished speaking, who agrees and who opposes"

"..."

"Okay, since no one objects and everyone understands, now the finance department is responsible for paying the arrears of wages. Andrew, go and get a box of cash. Show me tomorrow's daily newspaper first. It's been a hard day and everyone will work overtime tonight."

St. Jose's "reliable" remarks basically stabilized everyone's mood, leaving the people in the meeting speechless. The panic had been dispelled by St. Jose's "brainless" remarks. Chicken soup can also make them work. Have more passion.

At least, the job is saved, and the boss seems to be quite rich. Come on, the boss is stupid and has too much money. Come on, to be honest, although St. Jose's words are very simple, he really gives money.

Saint Jose immediately began arranging today's tasks.

The pace must be fast, the daily report will start tomorrow. In fact, "New Argentina Daily" also has many old customers, and there are also old advertisers, but the sales are not good now, causing many people to be disappointed, a vicious circle, and the competition among newspapers in Putrajaya is also Pretty intense.

"Boss, our editorial department has finalized tomorrow's morning paper. It will start printing at 10 o'clock tonight and distribute it to various outlets at 4 o'clock tomorrow morning. Will we be late?" Rodriguez, the head of the editorial department, worried Said, the new boss started acting up when he arrived.

"It's only 5 p.m., and there's still time. Today, everyone who works overtime will be paid three times their wages. Thank you for your hard work, the people in the finance department will note that the daily wages are three times." St. Jose looked at the clock on the wall again. .

Everyone in the conference room burst into cheers and began to get excited.

"Boss, this is today's original newspaper"

Saint Jose picked up the newspaper and read it. He couldn't help frowning and was very dissatisfied. Most people didn't like to read it at all.

"Are you responsible for editing today's edition?"

"Yes, boss, I am the head of the editorial department"

"If you have any newspapers published in the past, show them to me."

After more than ten minutes, St. Hesse roughly went through two or three months of newspapers. Almost most of the news was big words, empty words, clichés, too much nonsense, and the events were not new, not interesting at all, and occasionally bright. There are also very few eye reports.

To use two words to describe it, it is "screwing".

"Today's newspaper will be retyped immediately. Take me to the editing room. The others will return to their posts first and follow the arrangements," Saint Jose said with a pat.

"Bring out the original version of today's newspaper"

"Boss, get it done right away,"

"First remove the news from these two pages, and then use these two articles and this picture by the way."

San Jose once again re-optimized some of the articles just now and wrote a lot of anecdotes, especially some football knowledge and overseas news.

He had already made preparations and took out all the articles and photos he had prepared yesterday, just in time to use them.

"Yes, boss!"

The editor briefly reviewed the article provided by Saint Jose, immediately removed the document from the front page, and then retyped it.

"The third panel, change to these words, serialization method,"

"The Dursleys who live at No. 4 Privet Drive always say proudly that they are a very well-behaved family. Please, please..."

The head of the editorial department couldn't help but read it in one sitting, and then found that the most exciting part was cut off...

"Boss, is this the end?"

"Well, yes, keep it in suspense."

"Can you tell me in advance that I don't need overtime pay..." It seems that excellent people are always excellent.

"I haven't made up the rest yet. You work hard. As long as the newspaper sells well, you will see it for the first time... If you work harder in the future, I will give you a salary increase."

"Okay, I'll keep working hard."

"For the advertisement on the fourth page, change the slogan for me, just like this, change it like this, change it like this,"

In order to make advertisers more willing to advertise in "New Argentina News" and increase future advertising fees, we must first give them a taste of the sweetness and use some brainwashing advertising slogans for the product, which are humorous and interesting.

I believe they will sell their products better.

"By the way, boss, is the news on the first page you just gave me true? Are the Americans really bowing their heads? It can't be fake news, right? News needs to be rigorous."

The editor couldn't help but say that he had just been attracted by the story and realized that the news was big news.

"Absolutely true headlines." St. Jose nodded seriously. Anyway, it's just a matter of the past few days, so it's better to go ahead.

While the people in the editorial department were working hard, Saint-Jesse went to the printing department to learn about the situation.

"The people in the printing department work the night shift and have just arrived." said the person in charge of the printing department.

"Tell me a little about the machine."

"Boss, this machine uses lead type technology. After the large format is arranged, it is printed on a traditional letterpress printing machine. The ink is printed on a transparent film paper, and then special toner is applied to the ink. Take the film to print and print on the machine."

"We mainly operate by hand, which is very simple. We use a 6-degree flat-swing machine. After the entire white newspaper is cut, it is folded in half by hand, and Master Terence puts it on the 6-degree flat-swing printing machine for printing.

At that time, the speed of the printing machine was 2,000 revolutions per hour, but the manual operation, loading paper one by one, and double folding, often could not keep up with the mechanical operation, so the printing volume was such. "The person in charge of the printing department gave a quick introduction and seemed very professional.

“How many copies are printed per day now.”

"Not much, only 200 servings a day."

"Okay, got it,"

There is no typesetting software such as computers now. We need to mobilize the potential of the printing department. The printing press in this printing department can print 1,000 newspapers a day. This machine is worth a lot of money.

A newspaper from the printing department has four pages in total. The first three pages are main news and other information, and the fourth page is advertising space.

In addition, the masthead needs to be printed in red, which requires five printings. It takes more than six hours to print more than a thousand newspapers. It is not difficult to imagine the low output. The work started at ten o'clock in the evening, and someone came to the newspaper office to pick up the newspapers the next morning.

By eight o'clock in the evening, all preparations had been completed.

"Today, please ask the master in the printing department to start the printing press in advance and print 1,500 copies. Don't stop.

If there is enough time, the number will be increased to 3,000 copies, and the printer's salary will also be increased. "

St. Jose finally decided to print more newspapers. He didn't believe it, so the newspapers would not be sold.

"By the way, starting today, the price of newspapers will be reduced from 40 pesos to 20 pesos. Our long-term goal is 10 pesos per copy," St. Jose said with confidence.

"Boss, we will lose a lot of money if we do that."

"As long as the newspaper sales this month can double, we can maintain costs. If it triples, we will start to make a profit. If it quadruples, we will be a top ten newspaper."

"Boss, you're so bragging. We haven't been in the top 20 in the country since the old man."

Everyone was not as restrained as they were at the beginning. Not to mention, the news compiled by Saint Jose was very true and interesting.

Next, San Jose arranged newspaper distribution and various aspects of newspaper delivery tasks. He asked people from the operations department to take out all the old customer lists and distribute them, and soon formulated a battle plan for tomorrow.

In order to increase the transportation capacity of delivering newspapers, everyone has proposed some simple and effective distribution methods. In addition to newspapers ordered by individuals, various newsstands and stores are also the main force, and the operations department has been arranged to be responsible for delivery tomorrow morning.

Adopted one by one, the main force is still the newspaper delivery boy.

The employees of the newspaper office had just left work. It was already eight o'clock in the evening. They had worked overtime for more than two hours, but everyone was in a very happy mood. In order to ensure the safety of the employees who left the company, Saint Jose specially sent A team of Viper security guards were responsible for the escort.

After finishing everything, Saint Jose breathed a sigh of relief.

This day was also the first time that Saint Jose stayed up late. He was also a little nervous about the situation of the first newspaper after taking over the newspaper office. After all, he didn't know how the sales would be.

.....

The next day, at four o'clock in the morning, 1,500 fresh copies of the "New Argentine Daily News" were delivered, and four part-time newspaper delivery boys came to pick up the newspapers.

These part-time newspaper delivery boys usually come from the slums. They are usually between 16 and 18 years old. They use bicycles provided by the newspaper office to deliver newspapers. Most of them are middle school students to subsidize their families and earn some pocket money.

The more newspapers they deliver, the more wages they can get. Recently, Xin'a Newspaper's delivery volume has become less and less, and they are already preparing to resign and change jobs to deliver to another newspaper.

"Old Cole, am I reading that right? Did you deliver the wrong one today? There are so many newspapers, 10 times more than yesterday?" Little Leed, the part-time newspaper deliveryman, rubbed his eyes and suspected that he had not slept. Awake.

"You read that right, you can send it to this list, or you can find someone to send it to you. If you have done your work today, you will get a bonus. You can also get one for yourself today. This is an additional benefit, and it is super interesting. Yes, hahaha, by the way, the boss is providing a free breakfast today, you can get it yourself." After saying that, he pointed to some packaged food next to him.

"By the way, let me tell you some news. We have a new boss. I still have 1,700 copies. They will be printed soon. These are big ones, not for people who subscribe to newspapers," said Cole, the founder of the newspaper. An old employee who joined the newspaper when it was published, he has a deep affection for the newspaper, so he quickly went back to stare at the machine and feed paper.

"The new boss must be crazy, but just give him the money," said Little Leder, whose sleepiness suddenly disappeared and he ate some cold flour pancakes and milk.

The tenfold increase in workload means that the salary can be increased tenfold compared to yesterday. There are also bonuses, which are paid daily. What should I buy when I get the money?

The four newspaper delivery guys who finished eating quickly began to assign tasks. In the past, they were far from reaching the maximum delivery capacity. Fortunately, everyone was familiar with the city and had unique newspaper delivery skills.

Division of labor, each person gets 400 copies, and Little Leder is responsible for the extra 100 copies. Fortunately, the school has gone on winter vacation a few days ago, otherwise they will definitely not be able to deliver them all when they go to school at nine o'clock, and they have to be fast.

The newspapers packed in the bicycle basket and the suitcase stand weigh about fifteen kilograms, which is a huge challenge to physical strength. It will definitely not be delivered all at once, and it will take several trips back and forth. Fortunately, most of them are concentrated.

Newspapers were quickly delivered to the mailboxes of old customers. Sanjesé gave a free copy to all old customers who had subscribed to the "New Argentina Daily News". This was also a method he could think of, which he called activating old customers. client.

.....

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Saint-Jesse was still thinking about how to continue to develop and expand the Xin'a Newspaper Agency, and his mind was thinking wildly.

It seems that gossip is not bad. Saint Jose plans to be a copywriter, famous for movies like "Harry Potter" and "Game of Thrones".

In addition, excellent Western films from New China such as "The Lord of Friends" and "Coiling Dragon" will be serialized.

However, he only remembered the general outline of the story, and his memory was not particularly deep, so he had to rely on rewriting it.

I also plan to transform these and make them more in line with the spiritual needs of Argentine people and incorporate some Argentine spirit.

Maybe it can secretly improve the mental outlook of the Argentinians. After all, to be honest, the Argentinians are indeed a bit lazy, and the core of resistance and struggle like this is relatively scarce.

Sometimes when he was bored studying, he would recall those networks in his mind, review them, look at them in his mind, and write them down, which came in handy now.

"Serialized stories are a big killer. From now on, the third page will be used for serialized stories. Although these stories now are classics, they are not written for the public after all.

Or, for example, "The Count of Monte Cristo", "The Red and the Black", and "Storm Hill", although it is fun to read and understand, most Argentines will not read it. If there are such excellent online articles in later generations, they will not All the same, easy-to-understand works are indispensable. "

This is also what the predecessors of the time traveler often do, and Saint Hesse can just copy it.

"It is necessary to believe that the whole world will like the feeling of working hard and not bullying young people into poverty for thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. This has also been proved by later generations. Saint Hesse itself is the kind of "rich experience" , he was quite addicted to it, that feeling was very charming."

Today's Argentina has also entered a pre-industrial society. The spiritual field is monopolized by churches and is also very empty. Therefore, many people will take advantage of it and influence it.

Most of the newspapers published now are also very boring. If more preventive measures could be taken, the fate of some later countries could be integrated into them, and they would have a certain influence, it might prompt some Argentinians to think about what kind of future Argentines need.

Saint Jose planned to use his own way to attack these messy things.

This is a big killer, and it is just an idea of ​​his. It will definitely not be easy to implement it, and it will be quite troublesome.

At the same time, in order to allow the newspaper to expand its influence, St. Hesse has formulated support for newspaper submissions, formulated bonuses, and various aspects of support for serialization.

After all, the limited number of books that I can remember deeply will be gone once I finish them. I still have to rely on the strength of the Argentine people to continue to develop.

Another one is Chicken Soup. This is also an indispensable condiment. The market is huge. This is also proved by later generations. Saint Jose was influenced too much by Chicken Soup.

So an article like "If You Bloom and the Breeze Will Come" was freshly published. Of course, the name was changed to the Argentinian version, but it still looked very exciting and inspiring.

Saint Jose quickly wrote out the thoughts in his mind, and then looked at the time and it was already two thirty in the morning.

These articles will occasionally appear alternately on the second page of the newspaper to prevent aesthetic fatigue. Most of them will serialize some celebrity gossip and football news.

The third page is a fixed serialization, the fourth page is advertising, and the first page is a serious news page.

It's a hodgepodge of chaos. The evening newspaper will be much better in the future. Now Saint-Jesse plans to quickly increase the circulation of the newspaper. It can only stimulate the market first and see the feedback before continuing to adjust.

After writing dozens of pages of information and famous summaries of his previous life, Saint Jose fell asleep.
