"That's fine, just keep your phone connected."

Hearing that Chen Fan wanted to go home to buy some gifts, Zheng Xiaopang understood very well. He remembered that when he came to the Imperial Capital when he was a child, every time he went back to his hometown, he always brought gifts with him. After all, there were still many relatives in his hometown, especially After Mr. Zheng came out, he became more developed and couldn't lose these etiquettes, otherwise he wouldn't know how many nasty things those seven aunts and eight aunts said behind their backs.

No one asks you if you are poor in the busy city, but you have distant relatives in the mountains if you are rich. This is a wise saying.

If you are unknown, then many relatives will visit less, but when you become rich and successful, many relatives who are far away will come and visit.

At noon on Tuesday, Chen Fan left after having lunch. He called Liu Ying directly, and went with her to purchase the presents he brought back this time.

After seeing off their mother at the airport, Chen Fan and Liu Ying went home by car.

"Next Wednesday, I'm going to Amsterdam to deal with the matter of Chaofan Media." Liu Ying suddenly said to Chen Fan.

"What's the matter with Europa? I want you to go there in person." Chen Fan asked a little strangely.

"It's been two or three months since I've been back, and there's a pile of documents for me to sign, and our news website is about to open." Liu Ying said with an annoyed look at Chen Fan.

"Mail the document and sign it before sending it back, or just arrange for someone to deliver it by plane. Is it necessary for you to go there yourself?" Chen Fan shook his head with a chuckle.

"They fell in love with a British newspaper called the Evening Standard. It's running in trouble and they're looking for a buyer." Liu Ying looked at Chen Fan and said, "Do you think I should go and have a look at this?"

"We have already won two newspaper offices in the Netherlands and Franchi. Do we want to continue to expand our territory?" Chen Fan was startled when he heard that Liu Ying wanted to buy a newspaper office in Europa. It was to leave a way out, no matter how you look at this posture, Liu Ying is planning to make a big fight there.

"The environment in England is not bad. I don't think it's a big deal to buy a newspaper, so I plan to go and have a look this time." Liu Ying nodded, "Since we have already done it, we must do our best."

"At the beginning, you said that you registered Chaofan Media in the Netherlands. I forgot to ask after so long. The company is headquartered in Amsterdam, and now it owns two newspapers. How is the profit? How much money do we spend every year?" Chen Fan frowned and said, Chen Fan didn't ask these details on the phone at the beginning, now that he has talked about it, he will ask a few more questions.

"Are you still afraid of spending money? Weren't you very proud when you were shopping yesterday? Now that I think about it, I asked these questions." Liu Ying laughed out loud.

Chen Fan saw Liu Ying smiling prettily, so he curled his lips helplessly and didn't answer.

After laughing for a while, Liu Ying stopped her smile, "Actually, I can't lose much money. According to the accountant's estimate, if everything goes on as usual, ICOS will lose two to three million yuan a year."

"Huh" Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief, "I have never been to a foreign country, so I don't know what's going on there. Now that I have intuitive data, I can still afford to lose this little money. If the renovation is completed, it may lose hundreds of thousands."

"Who will make the investment that loses money? Since we have taken over, of course it must be a profitable project to be considered a success." Liu Ying rolled her eyes and said.

"Hehe. I'll leave everything over there to you. My daughter-in-law is capable." Chen Fan hurriedly said with a smile, "Ikes? Is this the English name of Chaofan Media?"

"Extraordinary media, extraordinary media, referred to as EM, Ikos is just a transliteration by the people below, I think it's more convenient." Liu Ying explained with a smile.

"Too long this time?" Chen Fan suddenly remembered that Liu Ying said that he would go there, don't just go and won't come for N months.

"It should be quick. I just went to deal with the documents squeezed by the company. I went over to see the newspaper industry environment in England. After making a decision, they can negotiate with the other party. The signing of the contract is still very early." Liu Ying smiled. Said.

"Yeah, I'll go and have a look when I have time. I've grown up and haven't been abroad yet, so I'm going to drive foreign meat." Chen Fan said cheerfully.

"It should take a week or two." At this moment, Liu Ying seemed to be thinking of leaving temporarily, and felt a little depressed.

"By the way, daughter-in-law, are the people over there still reliable?" Chen Fan asked suddenly.

"There should be no problem. I will arrange someone to pay attention. At least for now, their ability to handle affairs is still good, and the financial report for the first quarter has improved a lot." Liu Ying Youyou said.

"So capable? How long has it been since you took over, and you can make the financial report beautiful? Don't play fake accounts." Chen Fan heard that Liu Ying said that the professional manager hired over there had already transformed the company. The financial report has also improved, and I suddenly feel very curious, is there such a capable person?

"I took over at the end of November last year, when I was still there, Layton, who is now the person in charge of ICOS, submitted a reform plan to me." Liu Ying said with a light smile.

"What's the reform? Is there a plan? I'll look back and learn. I'll see you next time I go there. It's a capable person." Chen Fan sighed.

"It's not just the few methods, such as layoffs, salary cuts, increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, reducing expenditure in a timely manner to reduce costs. Open source expects this website operation to attract some advertising revenue. In the past, their newspapers did not pay attention to the construction of news websites, almost all of them were zero. In terms of income, this time the layout of the website has been improved and advertising space has been increased, the main thing is to see how to attract users, for each user, there is no hope for open source.”

Liu Ying thought of the situation of the company thousands of miles away. Although there is some improvement, the improvement is actually very limited. Before the news website is successful, it is still not too optimistic.

As for the news website, Liu Ying actually borrowed the layout of some domestic websites, but she didn't know whether the webpages that netizens in China could accept would be unacceptable in Europa.

"What about newspaper sales? It won't be the same. Although I don't understand the operation of the newspaper, I also know that the newspaper should increase its sales if it wants to make a profit. Only when the sales increase can the newspaper turn around its financial balance. "

When Chen Fan heard the so-called reform plan, he immediately felt that it was meaningless. It was simple and rude. Layoffs and salary cuts were cutting costs, but that was a double-edged sword. If you rely solely on this to improve financial data, then you really can’t tell what it is called How capable Layton is.

"The news is graded, and different grades have different rewards. The grade of explosive news is high, and the journalists who get the news will be rewarded with positions and money. Of course, ordinary news is of little value. In addition, we plan to use netizens to collect news clues. Give rewards, but this is a matter related to the website, after all, in terms of news release, the newspaper is not as timely as the website.”
