Chapter 179 No one knows newspapers better than me(2/2)
"What do you think? President Hailsen, ten thousand livres, will completely acquire your newspaper. I only have two conditions. One is that you continue to be responsible for the operation of the newspaper as the editor-in-chief and operator, and the other is that the Observer Daily
The content must be distributed according to my ideas."
How could President Hailsen care about the two conditions mentioned by Lawrence? He looked at the priceless deposit slip in his hand and nodded without thinking. His cheeks turned reddish red due to excessive excitement.
"Very good, this is really a pleasant deal. Let's discuss the contract and other matters later."
Lawrence stretched out his right hand with satisfaction and said.
President Hailsson also quickly held Lawrence's hand tightly and said excitedly:
"You are the boss, you have the final say."
As the two hands clasped together, the deal was officially concluded.
Although the formal contract has not been signed yet, President Hailsen does not dare to take advantage of this to play any tricks.
He knew very well that a little person like himself was just a little bug in front of Lawrence. If he dared to play any tricks today, his family would be able to collect his body in a smelly ditch tomorrow.
President Hailsen smiled and carefully put the deposit slip into his pocket, then stood up and respectfully invited Lawrence to his seat, while he himself moved to Lawrence's chair.
"Then let's talk about the Daily Observer."
After completing the transaction, Lawrence also regained his serious expression, spread the Observer Daily and Financial News he bought in the morning on the table, and said slowly.
"Of course, of course, do you have any ideas?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After talking about business, President Hailsen's excitement was slightly dampened, and he looked at Lawrence cautiously and asked.
Lawrence pointed to the two newspapers on the table and said:
"First of all, the Observer Daily can no longer use such inferior paper and printing. I need you to contact the printing factory. The quality of the newspaper must reach the level of this Financial News."
"This...but the cost of such a newspaper is nearly five sols, so our profit will be..." President Hailsen said with a frown.
"Money is not an issue, and I don't want to make money from newspapers." Lawrence interrupted with a wave of his hand, not caring at all about the impact on profits that President Hailsham said.
"This... okay, you have the final say." After a moment of hesitation, President Hailsen quickly took out the memo and wrote down Lawrence's instructions.
Anyway, President Haytham is no longer responsible for the profit and loss of the newspaper. Since Lawrence has the money to mess with him, naturally he can't control it.
"Also, the content of your newspaper is really boring."
Lawrence pointed to today’s Daily Observer and said:
"Look at your front page today, the title is 'Criticism of the high age of working women in the areas surrounding Paris'"
"Uh..." President Hailsen said with a bitter smile:
"You know, some women still have to do manual labor to make ends meet even when they are 60 or 70 years old. We are very worried about this phenomenon, so..."
"I don't care what you think, but this title makes people have no interest in reading it. Even though I have read the content of this report is quite good, you should be the main author."
Lawrence shook his head resolutely and said:
"The style of the Daily Observer must change. First of all, start with the title. For example, for this report, you can change it to 'Shocked! A 70-year-old woman works in the fields every day, and the reason is...!'"
"This...isn't it a bit of a false report..."
President Hailsen couldn't close his mouth for a long time. He vaguely felt that such a style of headline was indeed more eye-catching, but it also seemed to deviate from the principle of seeking truth from facts in news reporting.
Lawrence ignored his views at all and continued to talk about a series of changes.
It wasn't until more than an hour passed that Lawrence finished telling all his thoughts, and President Hailsham's memorandum also contained three pages of densely written contents.
"God, Monsignor Bonaparte, I have to say that your ideas are very bold and creative, whether it is numbering each newspaper as a lottery ticket, or setting up a serial section in the newspaper, and many other things.
, these are things that have never happened in the press, but..."
President Hailsen rubbed his sore wrist and said hesitantly:
"The audience of our newspaper is still too small. I'm afraid it will take a long time for your changes to have effects."
After hearing this, Lawrence thought for a rare moment, then suddenly stared at President Hailsham and said in a deep voice:
"Don't worry about it. I will soon let the Observer Daily report an exclusive news. Then I will naturally not worry about sales. But before that, I hope that the news that I am the owner of the Observer Daily will only be used as a communication between you and me.
secret."
"Don't worry, I will only say that the newspaper has a sponsor, and I will never reveal any information about you."
President Hailsen quickly patted his chest and assured.
"Very good, I believe you can handle this, then it's almost time for me to leave."
Lawrence looked at the time on his pocket watch and said, then stood up and patted President Hailsson's shoulder and whispered:
"Work hard for me, and one day your office will be moved from this shabby building to the Louvre."
"I will certainly do so, Monsignor Bonaparte."
