Chapter 405 The Most Influential Business Figures
In the afternoon, Andy stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the living room of the 10,000-card luxury suite, smiling and making a phone call, while looking down at various media reporters surrounding the hotel building.
"Dinner the day after tomorrow, will you come or not..."
"What am I going to do? Haha, I don't want to watch you and the daughter of a daughter show their love in front of me. Okay, I'm dead. I'll know if I'm pregnant or not. If not, I'll go to you before the filming of the movie starts..."
Hearing the busy voice coming from his phone, Andy shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly. Queen Theron was really direct enough. Damn, why do you feel weird?
Put your phone in your pants pocket and walk back to the central sofa area of the living room. The think tankers changed the entire living room almost into a conference room.
The coffee table is covered with various documents and materials, and two moving writing boards are completely blocked in front of the TV cabinet. It lists the place name of the city where a weekly branch is located, as well as the problems existing in each branch.
As the current editor-in-chief of Newsweek, Jon Micham's face became very ugly, and his forehead was sweating. He moved his butt from time to time on the sofa, as if he was sitting on pins and needles, because there were too many problems found by the think tank in a short period of time, and the most important thing was the financial problems. He did not expect it to be so serious.
Seeing Andy sitting on the sofa again, Jon Micham said with shame: "Boss, I..."
"Okay, Jon, I don't mean to blame you. To be honest, if it weren't for this acquisition, I believe no one would have thought that there were so many problems in each branch. Weekly was too anxious about its global layout before, and this time it sorted out once and for all.
By the way, Jon, I will add an eO to the newspaper to manage the administration and finance of the newspaper. You should focus on the content of the weekly magazine in the future. I hope that the weekly magazine will not decline in the two traditional advantageous positions of in-depth reporting and current affairs commentary. After all, our weekly magazine is famous all over the world for this, so there is no problem!"
Andy's mouth was raised, a faint smile on his face, his eyes looked extremely deep, Jon Micham's thoughts were very complicated, but when he thought of the various problems he had just heard, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and said to the new boss with a wry smile: "I'm sorry for my lack of management ability, boss, I fully agree to introduce excellent managers."
"Very good, Jon, thank you for your support! Al, the plan can be started. Find an accounting firm. You arrange for members of the think tank to lead a team and form four groups. Start the investigation from the four branches with serious problems. After the evidence is conclusive, if you can consciously make up for the losses of the report agency, let them get out. If you can't, call the police directly!"
Andy looked at Alvetre, who was sitting aside, and said in a cold tone.
"I got it, boss."
Andy looked at Jon Micham again, with no fluctuations in his eyes, and said with a faint smile: "Jon, you won't blame me for being fierce, right!"
"No, not one, I want to call the police to catch them now, these damn borers!" Jon Micham said with some gritted teeth.
"Haha, there are some gray areas for enterprises with a long history, especially in the past few years, the speed and scale of the weekly magazine's expansion of its branches was really blind. I heard that you want to start the European version? Slowly, wait until everything gets better!" As he said, Andy patted his thighs, stood up, and smiled at the people of the think tank. "We have worked hard these days. The Turkish bath here is very good. It was inspected and introduced by Ivana himself and supervised the construction. You can relax. After the dinner, you are still busy. Please rest for the rest of the two days. Haha, okay, let's go and rest..."
After watching everyone pack their things and leave one after another, the room returned to quiet. Turn on the TV, Andy hid on the sofa, watching the news broadcast on the TV, and his photos occupied the screens of multiple news channels, and couldn't help but smile proudly. Isn't this the effect he wanted!
At the same time, in the conference room of P International Hotel, Ivana sat in the first place and arranged work for everyone. On the writing board behind her was the floor plan of the hall of this dinner. She didn't know if the president would attend as promised, but the previous security investigation would still be carried out. Once the president was confirmed to participate, the Secret Service staff would send someone to take over the security here first.
Ivana undoubtedly trusted Andy to hand over the preparations for the dinner to herself, and of course it was also very troublesome. However, Ivana didn't care about the trouble. She was very excited. After all, this dinner was extraordinary. The guests present could be said to be the real core power class of the country, which has great significance to her and this hotel.
She will truly stand on the stage of the United States, the center of national power, for the first time, because the center of everyone's focus that night will be Andy and her, who will serve as hosts to entertain all the politicians of the Washington Power Center, including the president, which is undoubtedly a grand event.
You should know that perhaps not many people can do this in the social circle of Washington except for the Graham family, which can invite many politicians to participate. Of course, the Graham family cannot invite the president to attend at will. However, the president's aides are indeed regular guests at their family banquets.
Andy is different. As an old political family, the Smith family has been operating for hundreds of years. The status of the old Smith family is enough to ensure the level and number of guests invited to the dinner.
What's more, Andy Smith, the youngest billionaire and the new media tycoon, controls two newspapers with great influence in the United States at their age. One has a history of 74 years and a global subscription volume of 4 million subscriptions, and the other has a history of 0 years, affecting the Manhattan area where the country has the most wealthiest people.
This is undoubtedly a huge resource. Politicians will never miss getting to know such a youngest billionaire with a strong political background and powerful resources.
After arranging the work, Ivana took her people to conduct a while of segmentation and discussion in the banquet hall, and then returned to the guest room named after her.
Looking at Andy, who was sleeping soundly on the sofa in the living room, Ivana couldn't help but smile bitterly. She was busy and exhausted downstairs, but her boyfriend was sleeping soundly upstairs.
He walked over and sat beside him, looked at his handsome face, couldn't help but smile happily, stood up, walked back to the bedroom and took out a blanket, and covered him.
I picked up the remote control and was about to turn off the TV. I saw the photos of Andy appearing on the TV and the discussions of three hosts.
"…Andy Smith is only aged 20 years old this year. I think he is already the youngest and most influential business figure in the United States, and there is no doubt about this."
"Two, as far as I know, the New York Observer newspaper has integrated several regional newspapers in New York and is planning to start a daily newspaper. Now that the print media market has shrunk significantly, Andy Smith is moving against the current. I wonder what the two of them have..."
Turning off the TV, Ivana's eyes were filled with infinite tenderness and love. Her little boyfriend was making people in the United States discuss and pay attention to him.
The deepest feeling about the lively Washington today is Auston Smith, the newly-released Elephant Party political star, just walked out of the Capitol because he had a good son and was surrounded by reporters who had been waiting for a long time. That scene almost scared the bodyguards who protected him to death.
Auston, who could only maintain an elegant and gentlemanly smile, hated his son to death. Because these reporters could not interview Andy and got first-hand news, they could only report from the side. The easiest thing to interview is undoubtedly the political new Auston who had just stepped into Washington.
After answering a few questions casually, talking about his feelings, and being proud of Andy's achievements, he finally squeezed out of the group of reporters under the bodyguard's trail and got into the car.
"Boy, just cause trouble for me..." As Auston was mumbling in an imperceptible voice, he heard the assistant in the passenger seat turn back with admiration and congratulate him: "Mr. Smith, congratulations, your son is so amazing..."
"Thank you..." Auston showed a faint smile on his face, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice. Alas, his son is so excellent. His presence as a father has plummeted. There will be no such thing in the future. Andy Smith's father's reference and ignore the title...
