America's Road to Fame

Chapter 23 This photo is quite handsome
The "New York Observer" changed hands, and the new owner was Chen William. After the news came out, it immediately caused quite a stir in New York.After all, although the current situation is declining, the "New York Observer" has been brilliant after all. Even now, it still has a lot of influence in the upper class of Manhattan.

And Chen William, as a well-known rich second generation, and the previous reputation of "the most famous prodigal son of this century", made at least 60% of the people in the United States have heard of his name.Therefore, when the two are linked together, it is no wonder that it becomes an explosive news.

For this kind of thing, William Chen also expected it, but he left there after he explained the matter to the newspaper, so the reporters who came later did not interview the protagonist of this incident, but they were still concerned about the incident, including Kaplan. Many newspaper employees were interviewed.

Even the news that Kaplan, as a well-known newspaperman in New York, returned to the "New York Observer" after two months of resignation, can arouse everyone's interest.

Facing the reporters who came from the chrysalis, after reporting to William Chen, Kaplan simply held a press conference to confirm that William Chen became the new boss of the "New York Observer" and accepted an interview.

When a reporter asked why Kaplan would return to the newspaper after he took over the newspaper, given William Chen’s previous reputation, and what he thought of the future of the New York Observer under the leadership of William Chen, Kaplan replied road:

"When Mr. William started to acquire newspapers, he came to me specifically and had a frank talk. As a newspaperman with more than 20 years of experience in the newspaper industry, the principle I believe in is to look at things objectively and fairly. I will not hold prejudice or preconceived positions against anyone, so I don't care what Mr. William's image is in the news reports before, I only believe the facts I see."

"The fact is that the young man in front of me at that time was a humble and polite person with profound insights into the news industry. I very much agree with what Mr. William told me about the future planning of the newspaper. He mentioned that "" The New York Observer’s long-standing reporting style, which is objective, fair, and humorous, has been brought back to our newspaper, and will invest in the development of the newspaper.”

"As for the future of the newspaper, I believe that Mr. William will have his own ideas, and he will respect the ideas of all newspaper employees. I admit that from the past experience of Mr. William, he has no experience in the media field, and everyone I will also question his youth. But I don’t think so. What I look forward to is Mr. William, who is not bound by traditional paper media and can be closer to the trend of the Internet, to lead the newspaper and complete the transformation from tradition to the Internet age , and this is where his advantage lies."

"So I hope that everyone can give Mr. William and our newspaper office a period of time. Regarding the future development of the newspaper office, don't jump to conclusions immediately, but look at our actual actions in the future. I believe everyone will not be disappointed."

And those other employees also supported the new boss and the editor-in-chief of Kaplan, expressing an optimistic attitude towards the future of the newspaper, and the "New York Observer" will definitely get better and better.What supported their view was that before William Chen left today, he not only settled the newspaper's $300 million debt, but also injected $500 million into the newspaper.

It was this kind of sloppy behavior that immediately stabilized everyone. After all, the facts were right in front of them. With so much financial support from him, not only did they no longer have to worry about layoffs, but with the injection of funds , The newspaper office will continue to increase its own strength, which is their greatest reliance.

……

"William, congratulations. I saw it on the news last night. The youngest media boss in the United States now owns the New York Observer. I am also a loyal reader of that newspaper and read it every morning."

William Chen and Ivanta met for a morning jog together in the morning. When the two met at the gate of the Trump headquarters building, Ivanta said this to him with a smile.

"I don't think there will be too many good things in those news." William Chen shrugged and said:
"But I don't care. I'm looking forward to what those people who mock me will look like when they are slapped in the face. In addition, with your attention, I will work hard to make this newspaper better. I hope it can continue to be your daily newspaper. One of the must-read newspapers.”

"It will, I believe you." Ivanta encouraged William Chen, and she said: "You really don't need to care what those reports say, I know that most of the newspaper bosses are old men, and they treat the young People are full of prejudice. But now times are different, the Internet has changed the world, and I believe you will make the "New York Observer" more in line with the times."

It may be that none of the reporters found William Chen yesterday. Knowing that he has the habit of running in the morning, many people were waiting to catch him on the road this morning for interviews.

When William Chen and Ivanta finished their run as usual and walked out of Central Park, what they saw was more reporters than usual waiting on Fifth Avenue.

When the two of them appeared in front of each other, more intensive flashlights than before were lit up one after another.

"William, tell me why you bought the New York Observer."

"After you bought this newspaper, what changes will you make?"

"Many people don't think you can run a newspaper well. What do you want to say?"

All of a sudden, countless questions came to William Chen.He protected Ivanta behind him, and then said to the reporters who surrounded him:
"The editor-in-chief of the newspaper, Mr. Kaplan, said what I want to say, as well as the future plan for the New York Observer yesterday, and our newspaper also published an announcement on this matter, and nothing else Nothing to say, after all, no matter what I say now, it will not change other people's opinions, will it? As for the future of the New York Observer, I hope everyone will wait and see, we will let time tell."

After saying this, William Chen casually dealt with a few more questions, and left here with Ivanta.Fortunately, these reporters were not too much, and Chen Weilian's attitude was also good, so after he cooperated with the reporters' interviews and let them go back to have something to write, he didn't keep chasing him.

"You will definitely become a popular figure for a while, William." On the way back, Ivanta said softly.

"Hot spots are like this. They come and go quickly. After these few days, hot spots will continue to appear, and then they will continue to chase other things."

However, after what happened today, William Chen realized that it seems that he should pay attention to personal safety issues now, just like today, and fortunately those reporters are not the kind of paparazzi for entertainment, because his acquisition of newspapers is considered social and economic news. Therefore, most of them are relatively well-behaved, not as difficult as some reporters from entertainment tabloids.

If you meet that kind of reporter, it's hard to get rid of it.Therefore, if this kind of thing happens again, with bodyguards around, at least they can help themselves as a human wall.And things like jogging in the morning, as your wealth increases, you will be targeted by those who want to keep it, and you will need bodyguards to ensure your safety.

After returning home, William Chen saw that Paris had woken up. She was wearing pajamas, sitting at the dining table and reading the newspaper, with a very displeased look on her face.

"What's the matter, who offended our princess, why doesn't she look happy." William Chen said to Paris with a smile after putting the breakfast on the dining table.

"It's not that these newspapers are all nonsense, they don't understand you at all. Forget it, don't read it." After finishing speaking, Paris threw the newspaper in her hand on the table.

William Chen found it interesting to see her like this. He said, "It's not that you don't know the piss of the media. When will you be able to look at things without prejudice. Come, let me see what is written."

While talking, he picked up the newspaper that Paris just put down, looked at the report on it, and read: "Just yesterday, the "New York Observer", which was founded for more than 20 years, was bought by the well-known prodigal son William Chen, and the newspaper became Besides the movie, this is a new toy for this prodigal brother.”

"Although he invited Kaplan, the senior editor-in-chief of the newspaper, to help him run the newspaper, and in yesterday's interview, Kaplan praised William Chen unexpectedly. However, the behavior of this prodigal son may be heard by the whole of America. I said, can you believe that he will continue to run this newspaper that was once known for its objectivity and fairness? I am afraid that this is not a suspense at all, everyone will come to the same answer. But the only suspense may be that Kaplan can persist How long will it take to break out of conflict with Chen William again, so let's leave the newspaper, I believe this day will come soon."

"Stop reading it, it's all such nonsense." Paris had already packed her breakfast, and when William Chen continued to read, she couldn't help complaining.

"Well, although it doesn't make sense, I have to admit that their aesthetics are still online. The photo of me selected for this report is quite handsome."

William Chen said with a smile, he looked at the name of the newspaper, it was "New York Post", if he remembered correctly, this newspaper should be a newspaper under the News Corporation.Murdoch can't afford to provoke him now, but he remembers that in his previous life, this gentleman will soon be caught in a "hacking scandal". I don't know if it will happen in this world, and he may be able to participate in it For a moment, get back a little interest from today's matter.

Of course, he would definitely not do such a thing as actively detonating a scandal.After all, Murdoch's net worth is much stronger than his current one. He has no evidence and no equal strength now, so there is no need to take risks.If the scandal is really detonated, he can do something to make things difficult for him.
