Li Mochen didn't feel anything about the two's resignation and agreed on the spot.
One of these two people is Mr. Bartram, the current general manager of Richard Publishing House, and the other is the chief editor of the publishing department of the publishing house. Both of them can't blame Richard Publishing House for its high losses for two consecutive years.
Its to blame.
Of course, the main reason is their predecessors, but both of them failed to turn things around after two years in office, which also shows that they are no longer suitable for this publishing house.
In Li Mochen's view, the only person in this publishing house who has some fighting capacity is the editorial team of the Atlanta Laborer Newspaper. There are about twelve people in total, small and capable, and they are what Li Mochen must retain.
He noticed that the number of subscribers to this small newspaper had continued to grow in the past three years, adding 13,000 copies, and it was the only department that could maintain a balance of payments.
But what happened next gave Li Mochen a headache again.
His purpose in acquiring the publishing house was, firstly, to publish his own comics, and secondly, to gain the power to influence public opinion in Atlanta.
The former is okay. It's just a matter of applying for a serial number for his comics, printing and publishing them. The sales channels here are all over Georgia and surrounding cities. However, Li Mochen also saw that there is no one in the publishing house who can take charge of the situation.
, the editor-in-chief of the publishing house who resigned may be the only one who has the ability in this regard.
Then there is the Atlanta Labor Daily. Li Mochen hopes that the sales of the newspaper can continue to grow, and is even willing to invest heavily in it.
However, after talking to the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, he found that the editor-in-chief was not very motivated and had the kind of character that would settle for nothing. In addition, this editor-in-chief had no experience in publications at all, which made Li Mochen
I completely gave up the idea of promoting this person to the general manager of the publishing house.
Therefore, if he wants to improve the publishing business of the publishing house and expand the territory of the Labor Daily, he must find a suitable helmsman. I wonder if those headhunting companies can find someone who suits his liking.
At this time, Li Mochen received a call from Ms. Iseult, Atlanta's comptroller.
"Andre, are you at war with Yves Cadiz right now? I heard that he was beaten very badly by you?"
"He just had a little head start. He seriously underestimated me."
Li Mochen already understood the purpose of Iseult's call: "I guess he must be asking for Ms. Iseult's help?"
"He begged me for half an hour and also promised to donate to several charitable foundations designated by me."
Ms. Iseult laughed: "But I haven't promised him yet, okay? Andre."
"Yes ma'am, as long as I can achieve my goal, I don't necessarily have to kill them all."
Li Mochen felt that he was respected: "But the conditions I gave him before are no longer suitable. In addition to the previous stores, I hope he will give up another jewelry store."
"Jewelry? If you want to do this business, I guess Ms. Lillard will not be happy. Edward Jewelry Company just spent a lot of money to sign you."
Ms. Iseult's words were profound: "If you want to increase the terms of the peace talks, I suggest you ask him for the shares of the Georgia Post. Few people know that this man has owned hundreds of shares of the Georgia Post through offshore companies.
One-fourteenth and a half of the shares."
"Georgia Post?"
Li Mochen's pupils lit up. This was a newspaper with good sales. Although Li Mochen didn't know about it, the Georgia Post could be seen everywhere on the streets of Atlanta.
"The equity seems to be a little less. I can influence the position of the Post, right?"
"Of course, that would help you take control of the Post."
In a calm tone, Ms. Iseult said something that surprised Li Mochen: "Mr. Mort Doyle, another major shareholder of the newspaper, holds 39% of the shares of the Georgia Post. He has moved to Georgia.
West Coast has only been held because of certain relationships. But at most, he will transfer this part of the shares by the end of the year. And this gentleman has always been a close friend of the Iseult family. "
"I'm flattered by you, ma'am, and I couldn't be more grateful for your trust."
Li Mochen knew the friendship and weight contained in these words.
"This is because of your good luck. So far, we have not been able to find a suitable candidate to take over the Georgia Post. And then you suddenly popped up——"
Ms. Iseult sighed: "Regardless of image, life experience, financial resources, and force, everything meets the requirements. Who else can I choose if I don't choose you? But Andre, the Richard's store you bought now
The publishing house doesn’t have a suitable manager candidate yet, right?”
Li Mochen's mind moved slightly and he realized that this should be the condition proposed by Ms. Iseult.
"Originally there was a general manager, but he has submitted his resignation letter to me today. I am now having a headache about this matter. I heard that Ms. Iseult used to be the editor-in-chief of the newspaper? Can you recommend me a person?
?It’s best to have someone with a little more ability.”
"I really have such an idea."
Ms. Iseult suggested with a chuckle: “Have you ever heard of Ms. Nanette Drew? Just three months ago she was the political editor of the Abraham Post, and I understand that she
I am still living at home and have no plans to apply for a job again. I think you can give it a try. This woman has a huge influence. Her interpretation of current affairs and political comments have many loyal readers across the country. I think she alone
With your name, you can bring 30,000 to 50,000 subscriptions to your newspaper."
Li Mochen had never heard of Nannette Drew, but the name 'Abraham Post' still made his pupils shrink.
Abraham is the capital of America, and the Abraham Post is one of the most prestigious and influential newspapers in America. This newspaper even forced a president to resign decades ago, making it famous.
The political section is undoubtedly the most important section of the Abraham Post.
"This is a big shot."
Li Mochen's voice was in disbelief: "But my Richard Publishing House is just a small publishing house with negative assets. How can this condescend her?"
"If this publisher can acquire the Georgia Post, it will be very big. The Georgia Post has half a million subscriptions and millions of copies sold in Georgia, and there are 10 in Atlanta.
There are 20,000 loyal readers. What’s rare is that these users do not overlap with the readership of your workers’ newspaper.”
Then Ms. Iseult revealed the most critical situation: "Ms. Drew has always intended to enter the political arena, but Abraham has no place for her for the time being, and your publishing house can provide her with a pedal and a platform. If you can
Taking the helm of a publishing house with millions of readers would give her a powerful influence in Georgia politics in just five years."
"I will extend an invitation. If Ms. Drew is really willing to join Richard Publishing House, it would be my honor."
Li Mochen is already excited. The key is that this will allow him to control a very powerful media company.
After making the call, Li Mochen smiled and waved, asking Mr. Edmund Beidleman, who was looking at him not far away, to come over.
"Mr. Beidleman, I think you can get off work here. The war is over, you can continue to find Mr. Demon Wolf."
