"Are you a little anxious to lay off employees at the moment?"

Amanda stood in front of Andy, helping him tidy up his tie, and said with a frown.

"There will not be a large-scale layoff. It just so happens that the media business will lose hundreds of millions of dollars every year to kick off some stumbling blocks. Otherwise, how can we insert our people? Only middle-level managers are the cornerstone of a company. Okay, let's go, don't let others wait for a long time. This is also the first day you take up your new position. I will hand over the TV and radio stations to you. I believe you have memorized the materials.

In a short meeting, you will ask for the cancellation of the stock information scrolling below the screen and recommend adding the information box to the right side of the screen. This is your opportunity to quickly build prestige."

Andy looked down at Amanda, who was close to him, and looked up at his pretty face, breathing her breath and the fragrance that was exhaled from her mouth.

"Hehe, I understand." Amanda smiled and turned around and looked at herself in the cloak mirror. She looked around and found that there was nothing wrong. She nodded at Andy, and the two left the office together.

The originally abandoned snack dining area on the 29th floor was reorganized and became a meeting room where Andy, the vice president, gathered with Bloomberg's media teams to meet.

"...I know that some people will find this design a bit weird, but the best news and website designs will always be a little uncomfortable when you first see it." Plesky, wearing black-framed glasses and a brown-red beard, showed it to everyone in the conference room, explaining the new website pages he and his subordinates of the Bloomberg website who were suddenly valued overnight.

"The information density of the new version of the website has been reduced a lot. This means that 20 or even more article titles might have been displayed on the homepage, but in the new version you can only see less than 10. With the titles of large images and large fonts, important information can be better highlighted. Readers will not feel irritated by too much information.

At the same time, we have cut off the comment section of the article page. Our reason is that most users have now forwarded and commented on social networks, and they will gain more users on those platforms.

Videos are also an important part of the revision. In the small window in the upper right corner of each article, the videos of Bloomberg TV will be played automatically silently. You can just click to jump over to watch..."

Andy looked at the irregular layout and bright color scheme of the website page. When everyone focused their eyes on his face, he nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, this is very bold and crazy. I like this page, and maybe the display of the waterfall flow should be added..."

"Good idea, my goodness, why did I forget this, boss, this is a great idea..."

Andy is no longer surprised by the straightforwardness and indifferent personality of a technical mate like Plusky. After all, he is used to it in Silicon Valley and said with a smile: "When the title is paired with rich colors, it is actually easier to attract people's attention, and the effect of the large picture is so much more. The bold column lines and wider white space also make each part clearer and clearer. Good, I like this page, so I'm just here to change the page.

Bloomberg News, Bloomberg Business Weekly, Bloomberg Market, Bloomberg Magazine and Bloomberg's radio and television information, news is integrated into the new website. The original businessweek and blobergbusiness. The two domain names should also be directly redirected to bloberg. Home page."

Andy made a decision in a doubtless tone, looking around the conference room for a week, the media group's eO Justin Smith, Amanda, the new director of the radio and television business, Laurie Hayes, who just surrendered to Bloomberg News' acting editor, Plusky of Bloomberg website, and Josh Tyran Kiel, the editor-in-chief of Business Weekly, and Bloomberg Market, two heads of Bloomberg pursue magazines, and of course, there are also eO Daniel Dokotoff of Bloomberg Partners Co., Ltd. who has not spoken.

The website matter was decided by Andy and soon entered the next issue. Although Amanda was the newly appointed supervisor of Bloomberg's radio and television business, seeing her talking confidently and calmly, Bloomberg Partners' eO Daniel Dokotoff's psychology is really a bit complicated.

He, the eO, which is in charge of the entire Bloomberg, was invisibly excluded by the media group, which has been in a loss-making state and only accounts for 15% of the company's business. What surprised him was that Andy Smith actually grabbed the most important Bloomberg News so quickly.

To be honest, it is actually very simple if Daniel wants to stumbling up Andy. After all, the most important source of information from Bloomberg is the data terminals for rent and sale. As long as he wants, he can jamm the neck of these media teams. The problem is that he has no reason to do this. Without the support of Michael Bloomberg, his professional manager dares to bare his teeth with Andy, the second largest shareholder, and Andy dares to propose to fire him. Maybe Michael Bloomberg will refuse, but that's just maybe, what if he agrees?

That's really stupid. No one knows what the old fox is thinking. He often says ambiguous words and asks their subordinates to guess, if they do something wrong or make mistakes, he will turn his back on the blame, and then kick out of the company. It's so tiring to work for that old guy.

"Daniel, I checked the financial status of the media business from 2002 to the present. To be honest, I was a little speechless. I lost hundreds of millions of dollars almost every year. If it weren't for the amazing profits of the data terminal, I really couldn't believe that I could last until now. From the beginning, there was only one news organization, and now, the company has 8 subordinate news organizations, with different teams in news lines, television, radio, network, magazines and other fields.

What I can’t understand the most is that all these news organizations were formed from scratch, completely abandoning the acquisition, swallowing and absorption route, which undoubtedly increased financial expenditures.”

When Daniel heard the words of the new media group, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Bloomberg is not interested in acquiring the company because it is not pure enough, and he believes more in the team he has formed."

"Although our financial will be consolidated and reported, it is not a long-term solution to continue to lose money. I checked the personnel information. The number of personnel in each media team is a bit too many. At present, the US economy is affected by the subprime mortgage crisis and the market is in a downturn. In order to increase revenue and reduce losses, before the media group is integrated, each department will lay off employees..."

Justin had a warm smile on his face, but what he said made everyone present feel a chilling coldness, and he immediately began to talk in a low voice. Although the dozen people present were important management, the layoff fire would not burn them, but after all, they were all following their subordinates. It was a difficult decision to lay off whoever was not cut.

"Let me first talk about my opinion. Layouts are imperative. Wall Street is laying down, and there is no way to do so. Also, front-line journalists and editors will not move this time. In 135 global offices, except for journalists and editors, everyone else is cutting down!"

As Andy finished speaking, the entire conference room was in an uproar, especially the Bloomberg Business Weekly, which is not yet part of the sphere of influence of Andy, the vice president. The two editors of the Bloomberg Pursuit Magazine's faces were completely gloomy, but they also knew that their arms could not be twisted. After all, their media teams had been handed over to the young man in front of him by Milk Bloomberg, and their life and death had been tightly held in Andy Smith.

On the contrary, the Bloomberg Market manager had no worries. He also knew that the layoffs would not fall on his department. They were a bridge to exchange information between Bloomberg data terminals and media groups and were not affiliated with the media groups.

"This layoff will be conducted for business capability assessment and screening, and a special group will be established soon. Everyone is the cornerstone of the future of Bloomberg Media Group. I hope you can cooperate with the special group's work at that time!"

Justin changed his warm smile, his eyes sharply, and his new subordinates looked around him with a cold expression, saying words of comfort and warning. ...

The meeting ended soon, and everyone left the conference room with a serious expression. Andy looked at EO Daniel's back and smiled faintly, knowing that the news of layoffs would soon be received by Michael Bloomberg. However, to many people, the old guy would only be happy to see it. After all, as a Jew, he hoped that his company would make more money.
