When the high-speed train entered the Southampton area, Arthur saw the snow outside the window mixed in the cold wind, falling on the window. The message melted quickly, and slowly slid down the window. Looking at the snow covered landscape outside, he looked at the other passengers in the carriage. He could not help shaking his head in tears and laughter.
Very few people don''t like snow. Snowflakes cover all the dirty and unbearable disturbing the world, and let the earth enter the atmosphere of fairy tale world.
It''s not funny when it snows in England. For a long time, the British people''s inexplicable fear of heavy snow has always become the laughing stock of other countries
you know, even in the face of war, the British people will be very calm and say that death will not stop us from moving forward!
But as long as it''s snowing, all Britons will hide, all schools will be closed and buses will stop running, just like the end of the world.
No kidding, everything will stop running, even the train station will be closed, it is insane!
Fortunately, Arthur''s high-speed train has reached Southampton, otherwise he would be stuck in the road......
When the train arrived, Arthur put on his overcoat and a top hat. Under the protection of the bodyguards, he got out of the train and walked quickly outside the station.
Outside the station, the special bus sent by "southern daily echo" had been waiting for a long time. Seeing the boss coming out, the staff immediately welcomed them and gave them respectful greetings.
After Arthur nodded with a smile, he got into the car and drove to the newspaper office.
Jerry Fuller, the editor in chief of the newspaper office, who was preparing to meet the boss''s inspection, felt a little uneasy at this time. To be honest, all along, the young earl did not give more attention to the Southern Daily Echo except at the initial stage, when the operation of the newspaper was improved.
For such a long time, it was routine to send a briefing to the Earl every day, and then there was no such thing. The whole newspaper office seemed to have been forgotten. What''s more, Jerry fuller was helpless that the Earl lavished out bonus benefits before Christmas. According to his understanding, only their newspapers had the least bonus benefits...
Of course, he didn''t complain. After all, he knew his own family affairs. Other company industries helped the count to make very rich profits. There was no problem with more points. Even if the newspaper was rescued now, it was still in a half dead state, let alone make money. Now their biggest extravagance is not to lose money.
If the boss can still think about them when they pay the welfare bonus, they have already made them thank God. If there is no backbone, the newspaper office is really worried about the sudden attention of their boss, because it is likely to be the beginning of another large layoff and reform.
I can''t help it. To put it bluntly, who let their newspapers not strive for success has already belonged to the past industry.
Therefore, after receiving a call from his young boss that his first stop was the newspaper office when he returned to Southampton for inspection, Jerry Fuller''s heart was undoubtedly very uneasy and complicated.
In this mood, Jerry fuller ushered in the inspection of the boss Arthur Boleyn.
Entering the office area of the newspaper office, Arthur immediately felt a trace of strange atmosphere. On the way to greet his newspaper staff, although respectful, but the expression is a little stiff, and even from each other''s eyes to see bitter helpless and evasive.
"Jerry, what''s wrong with everyone? What''s the matter? " Arthur walked into the editor''s office and asked, frowning slightly, at Jerry Fuller, who was also a little smirking.
"Cough, it''s nothing, everyone... Everybody, just worried about Jerry fuller fumbled with a smile as he poured Arthur a cup of steaming black tea.
"What are you worried about? He he, if you have anything to say, just say it -- "Arthur, without politeness, went to the chief editor''s chair, picked up the black tea cup, took a sip, and looked at Jerry Fuller, who was still standing opposite him.
"Keke, I''m worried that you will have to carry out reform again during your sudden inspection." Jerry was staring at him with Arthur''s eyes. He had to be hard headed and cough a little, to tell the truth.
"Ha ha..." Hearing this explanation, Arthur couldn''t help laughing. He shook his head, raised his hand and pressed down to signal Jerry to sit down.
When Jerry sat down with a smile, Arthur stopped laughing. He said with a smile on his face: "you''re not wrong. I''ve got something important to explain this time. It''s a reform. It''s true
"Ah?" Jerry, who had just sat down, looked at the smiling boss and said anxiously, "boss, the staff of the newspaper office are already stretched out. If we cut it again, it will really affect the daily operation..."
"Ha ha, don''t get excited. Sit down. When did I say that we would lay off workers? Be patient. When I''m finished, it''s not too late for you to get excited! " Arthur didn''t pay attention to Jerry''s gaffe and reached out with a smile to indicate that the other party would sit down.
As soon as there was no layoff involved, Jerry fuller lost a long breath. He sat down again with some embarrassed smile. He reached for the red teapot and added some black tea to Arthur''s red lip cup."I''m sorry, boss, I''m a little bit out of shape. The main reason is that we don''t have the strength to be afraid all day. To tell you the truth, I''m really worried about being ordered by the boss to close the newspaper one day. Ah, in the past year, too many local newspapers have been closed down. Is it true that the paper media will have to withdraw from the historical stage so miserably? "
The status of paper media has been declining. Even the transformation of paper media, which has been hotly discussed, seems silent in the face of such a situation. It is like waiting for the tranquility before a storm, but it is quiet and frightening, and quietly makes people sigh.
The paper media closed down one after another, but as we often see, no one has been surprised by this.
"The decline of paper media is a general trend that can not be changed. This is the current situation that needs to be faced up to. However, it is too pessimistic to say that the paper media will die out completely.
If you want to survive in this reality, you need to know why newspapers are in trouble? Why did the paper media, which used to be unable to get into the market, now go bankrupt one after another, and brain drain? " Said Arthur, with a relaxed smile.
"Ha ha, what are the reasons? The impact of the Internet, the rise of new media, the change of reading habits... Too much. It''s not that we are pessimistic. It''s true that we can''t see the future. To be honest, boss, every time I hear a familiar newspaper close or go bankrupt, I will have a nightmare that night, dreaming that I am crying, holding personal belongings and walking out of the newspaper office... My God, it was a disaster
Jerry Fuller''s eyes are a little red. It seems that he has really suffered a lot. It is mainly because there are too many bad news in the paper media and too many lessons learned from the past. It is inevitable that he will be suspicious and worried.
"Ha ha, you don''t have to worry about this. I won''t close the newspaper office. You can work at ease and don''t have to be paranoid all day. To put it bluntly, even if it''s to maintain a newspaper office, it''s not many small things that I''m willing to or not like." Arthur raised his eyebrows and grinned, put down his black tea cup, and said with confidence.
