I Am a Nobleman in England

As the saying goes, those who win the people win the world, especially in the era of fast-growing knowledge economy.

Traditional energy, materials, land and other resources are no longer the backbone of the development and progress of enterprises. Correspondingly, human resources are getting more and more attention. At the same time, core talents are definitely the key elements to improve the competitiveness of enterprises!

In today's era, talents are the most important resource for an enterprise. To become stronger and bigger, an enterprise must pay attention to talents. At all times and in all over the world, no matter whether you are running a country or an enterprise, no matter what you do, talents are the guarantee of success. Of course, the talent mentioned here refers to the team rather than the individual.

To be honest, only when you become your own boss can you realize how important your own talents are!

"omg! Why didn't you call me earlier..."

The next day, when Ai Mo woke up from his sleep, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he stretched comfortably and lazily. Ai Mo, who was still satisfied that he had not had such a high-quality sleep for a long time, subconsciously looked at the picture on the wall. The clock immediately exclaimed.

Arthur, who came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe, shrugged at her and smiled: "Seeing that you are sleeping so soundly, I really can't bear to wake you up, let's say it later, you work too hard. When I saw you yesterday, the dark circles under your eyes were enough to show that you didn't get enough rest during this time!"

"I also want to have a good rest, but now I have five cases to deal with. I was supposed to read the documents last night. Damn it... it's all your fault!" Aymo took the nightgown and put it on, skillfully Gathering her curly hair into a ponytail, she trotted all the way to the bathroom.

Arthur moved out of the way and said with a smile: "Don't be so anxious, it's already too late, even if you speed up now, it's too late."

"I'm really going crazy, I have a court this morning, my God..."

"Don't worry, I've already prepared everything. The breakfast has already been delivered. After you have eaten, you can go directly to work by helicopter, which can save a lot of time." Arthur saw that Aimo was really anxious, so he Not joking, leaning on the door frame, smiling and comforting.

Hearing this, Ai Mo, who was a little flustered, gave Arthur an angry and charming look, and looked at the mirror with a red light on his face. , because of being too busy at work, being tired and staying up late, stress and other factors, her complexion became very bad.

Sure enough, women still need love!

"Okay, don't eat, I really have to take a step first, call..."

had a little breakfast,

Aimo, who had already changed into a black ol suit to accentuate his capable temperament, got up and came to Arthur, leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, then hurriedly picked up the briefcase on the sofa in the living room, and quickly Walk out step by step.

"Slow down, don't worry, I wish you success in your work!"

Arthur quickly followed up and shouted, while Aimo took out his sunglasses and put them on, waved his hand without looking back, opened the door and walked quickly to the elevator.

This is the case when falling in love with a strong woman in the workplace. For a strong woman, work is the first priority, so you can't expect too much from day to day, especially her independent, rational and strong personality, which is not easy for ordinary men to control .

But for Arthur, the Legally Blonde, who combines beauty, wisdom, connotation and taste, is undoubtedly the most satisfying trophy!

"Next, I plan to set up a media company, acquire no more than fifty regional newspapers, build a media network, and create a regional news platform!"

At the first advisory group meeting after returning to London, after listening to the work report during this period, Arthur directly threw out his acquisition plan, which caused the consternation and uproar of everyone present, including the chief investment advisor Angela. . When the whole world is talking about when newspapers will die, Arthur's move undoubtedly surprised everyone.

"Boss, this is not a good idea!" Angela didn't indulge the boss Arthur this time, her pretty face was full of seriousness and solemnity, and she dutifully expressed her objection directly.

"Since the outbreak of the international financial crisis in 2008, 70% of local newspapers in the UK have faced bankruptcy and closed down, and more than 80 newspapers have laid off staff and "slimmed down". The newspaper industry has almost become synonymous with salary cuts and layoffs. .

The Guardian Media Group has also cut hundreds of jobs at its local newspapers amid an 85% decline in profits in the most recent fiscal year. News Discovery Group closed 11 local newspapers in the past Christmas of 2009, and at the same time took salary cuts, frozen wages and unpaid leave for employees.

A number of professional organizations predict that in the next five years, one-third or even one-half of local newspapers in the UK will die, and another related prediction is that in the next five years, 20,000 local newspapers in the UK will die. Half of the jobs will be lost!

The reason why I pay attention to these data and information is because I want to remind you, the boss, that I hope you sell the regional newspaper under your banner, or close it directly, because it will become a negative asset in your assets.

I don't understand why you suddenly thought of buying regional newspapers, and you also want to buy no less than fifty newspapers. I can't understand this! "

Seeing everyone in the advisory group in the conference room nodding in agreement with Angela's point of view, and discussing with each other in low voices, Arthur looked at Angela with a serious face and smiled: "Angela, don't be in a hurry to deny my plan. , I know what you said, but I also have my own considerations. My strategy for investing in the newspaper industry this time is to acquire small newspapers that cover the local readership, and I have no intention of investing in large urban media newspapers..."

As Arthur spoke, the discussion in the conference room disappeared, and everyone turned their attention to the young boss, wanting to hear the young boss' investment reasons against the trend of the times.

Although Arthur can completely ignore the objections of the advisory group and insist on letting them work for himself, but in the end, he is inferior. If a team cannot unite and cooperate, but do things with doubts and dissatisfaction, at least Get twice the result with half the effort, and fail if it is serious, planting the seeds for the team's collapse.

To be honest, being a boss is difficult, especially being a successful boss is even more difficult. Although he can be self-willed sometimes, it depends on when, and now is not the time for him to be self-willed.

"First of all, in my opinion, these regional newspapers have value because they focus on providing local and community-oriented information in each region. The newspaper industry is in decline, but community newspapers still have value.

You can see that community information is difficult to find online, and it is different from large national daily newspapers and competing newspapers in big cities, regional newspapers, it is the only link for the entire community, serving the community, and communicating with the community readers are closely related.

If it were you, would you stop while reading a story about yourself or your neighbors?

Haha, no way, anyway, I don’t know how, so as a business, the target audience of community newspapers is relatively accurate, and advertisers will be happy to put them in. As an investment object, its market price is lower than its displayed value. You also said before that 70% of regional newspapers are facing bankruptcy, or even have already closed down. If you want to buy it, it will not cost you much money. But it is worth having for a long time. "

Arthur's words made everyone who was frowning slightly relax their dignified expressions, and all of them looked thoughtful. It seemed that Arthur's reasons had loosened their previous objections.

"In some small and medium-sized cities and communities, people have a strong sense of community belonging, and no institution can be more important than a localized newspaper.

And the newspapers we're buying serve the localities where they're located, and those regions have firmly established that pattern. What I need is to get the highest say in local affairs through these newspapers! "

Arthur directly stated his purpose without seeing it, and everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, and a hint of bewilderment appeared on Angela's pretty face, which was frowning.

"... the circulation of newspapers may decline, but the fatal injury is that a newspaper loses an important source of information in the local area or the market loses recognition of its status.

Moreover, I think that the Internet and newspapers are not insulated, and community newspapers have their own evolutionary process. I am very clear that the tide of digitalization is irreversible, and the media channels for delivering information will change.

I can even say with certainty that newspapers in the future will shed paper and become online news services.

But the nature of the business will not change. Use good content to serve the community and attract advertisers. Strive to provide good content exclusively, this is unchanged, and it has nothing to do with changes in delivery service channels. Once we have integrated all the acquired local newspapers and found a good digital profit model, it can be quickly promoted to all our local newspapers.

So, in my opinion, local newspapers are an asset and a business. The assets are valuable, but the price becomes lower, and it can even become the only local service provider to reduce excessive competition.

When we look at the media, we can no longer use a unified concept such as traditional media and new media to simply analyze. Instead, use a business perspective, not just the form of the medium. "
