Chapter 233 Reform of Newspapers

"If you are satisfied, do you want to sign the contract now?"

The lawyer looked at Xi Jin and said flatteringly.

"Okay, sorry to trouble you."

Xi Jin smiled slightly.

After hearing this, the lawyer quickly took out a contract from his briefcase.

"Xi Sheng, you can read the contract first."

"If there is no problem, you can just sign the contract."

The lawyer said to Xi Jin.

Xi Jin nodded, then picked up the contract and looked at it carefully.

After careful inspection several times, he picked up a pen and signed the contract when he found that there was no pitfall.

"Congratulations Xisheng, as long as you remit the money to the account indicated in the contract, this newspaper will officially be yours."

The lawyer smiled at Xi Jin and said.

"Ah Wu, call Madam and ask her to wire the money there for me."

Xijin gave instructions to Brother Jiaqian.

"Yes boss."

Brother Jiaqian nodded, picked up the big brother phone and called Ding Yao.

Although the boss didn't say which wife it was, only Madam Ding was in charge of finances and internal affairs.

"Thank you Xi Sheng for your cooperation."

"Is there anything else I can help you with?"

The lawyer looked at Xi Jin and asked respectfully.

"Nothing."

Xi Jin shook his head and said.

"Then I won't disturb Xisheng your time."

The lawyer picked up the briefcase and bowed slightly, then left the office to deal with other procedures.

Xi Jin walked to the glass wall behind the desk and took a look. Although the floor was too low to have a panoramic view of Yau Tsim Mong, the view was pretty good. It was nice to see the outside view when you were tired from work.

While Brother Jiaqian was talking to Ding Yao, Xi Jin walked out of the private office.

"Can I trouble you to call everyone from the newspaper office to the conference room for a meeting?"

"Don't bother those who are interviewing and collecting news outside."

Xi Jin gave instructions to an employee closest to him with a slight smile.

"Ah, huh? Good boss."

The female employee was suddenly patted by the handsome new boss and said nervously.

"Then trouble you."

Xi Jin smiled slightly.

"No, no, it's what I should do."

The female employee said quickly.

Xi Jin nodded, and went to the conference room to wait for the employees of the newspaper office to come in for a meeting.

"A Cai, what are you doing, Boss?"

"Could it be that I want to spend a good night with you?"

Another female employee sitting not far away came over curiously and asked.

"No, Boss is not such a person, and they don't think highly of us wage earners."

A Cai blushed and said, although she is the most beautiful girl in this newspaper office, the new boss looks at her without any desire at all, and he doesn't seem to appreciate her beauty. Common sense.

But this can't be blamed on Xi Jin, after all, there are too many beauties around him. Girls with a score of more than 80 like A Cai are regarded as goddess-level existences among ordinary people. Unfortunately, all the beauties around Xi Jin are peerless beauties with a score of more than 90.

"Ah Cai, you're panicking."

The female employee joked at Ah Cai.

"Stop talking nonsense, if you are overheard by the boss, you're done."

"Hurry up and go to the meeting room, the boss wants to hold a meeting."

A Cai didn't continue chatting with her and quickly said.

"Alright alright."

The female employee shook her head and walked towards the conference room.

And Ah Cai went to call all the others into the conference room.

A few minutes later, about 30 employees were all in the meeting room.

"Hi everyone, since this is the first time for everyone to meet me, let me introduce myself first."

"I'm your new boss, Xi Jin, I'm 20 years old this year, and I already have a girlfriend."

Xi Jin looked at the staff under him and smiled slightly.

When many employees heard that their new boss was only 20 years old, they already labeled him as the rich second generation in their hearts, while the eyes of female employees dimmed when they heard that the boss had a girlfriend, but they recovered quickly. After all The gap was too big, and they didn't have any expectations.

"This is the first time I came to the newspaper office, and I have no work experience at all."

"I don't know much about many professional things, so you just do things according to the original work plan."

"I will not interfere too much with the affairs of the newspaper office."

Xi Jin said slowly.

After hearing this promise, many employees felt a little relieved.

What they are most worried about is that after the new boss takes office, he will either lay off employees or mess around. He doesn't understand anything and is still chaotically directing and reforming. This is afraid that the newspaper will go bankrupt in a short time, and they won't be able to work.

But now it seems that the boss is still a little self-aware, and he didn't think he was a genius, so he messed up with the newspaper.

"But there are two things that need to be reformed about our paper."

Xi Jin stretched out two fingers and smiled slightly.

"First, I need to temporarily reduce the price of each newspaper to two yuan a copy."

"I needed to get my head around the news market fast."

Xi Jin said to the employees that the current market price of the newspaper is five yuan a copy, and his price reduction is basically giving up a lot of profits, and he may have to subsidize it a little bit.

But this time won't last long, as long as he can gain a position in the press, he will restore the price of five yuan a piece.

The employees didn't react too much when they heard it. After all, it wasn't their own money that was thrown away. The boss likes to throw money to expand the influence of the newspaper, but they were so happy. If the newspaper became famous, they, the reporters and editors, would naturally be famous too.

"Second, about the layout of the newspaper."

"From tomorrow on, no advertisements are allowed on the front page."

"Magnify large pictures and news headlines as much as possible on the front page, and print them all in color."

"By the way, the content should be simplified, and try to be as colloquial as possible so that it is not always a sea of ​​words."

Xi Jin said slowly.

The front pages of newspapers in this era are almost all advertisements, especially those of real estate developers, and the writing style is too formal, which looks dull.

So according to his reforms, their newspaper office will soon attract a large number of young people and working people. After all, young people like novelty things, and working people don't have time to read the sea of ​​words.

His method of reform is to copy the poisonous fruit daily that was born a few years later and rose rapidly. He took the way of the poisonous fruit daily, and just copied his homework. By the way, he will have nowhere to go in the future.

"Boss, if we don't advertise, how can we make money?"

A senior employee in the media industry frowned slightly and asked, the most profitable thing for their newspapers is advertising, and without advertising, they would basically lose money.

"It's not that I don't print it, it's that I don't want to print it on the front page, just insert it in the news on the next few pages."

"There's no need to put it on such an important position on the front page. After all, people don't buy newspapers to read advertisements."

Xi Jin explained.
