"But Mr. Xia, the Washington Daily News has a history of 67 years and has always been running this newspaper. You just took over and you have to make such a large-scale change. I'm afraid something will go wrong." Dean Fellers frowned again.

After hearing his concerns, Xia Tian smiled slightly, "It is precisely because the Washington Daily News has not changed significantly for 67 years that its sales have been declining. From the average of 900,000 copies in the 1960s, it has only 650,000 copies left, and it is still declining at a rate of 5% every year. Tell me, don't you change your career?"

"But Mr. Xia, even if he wants to change it, it shouldn't change so much. We are a serious current affairs newspaper, which is changed to entertainment tabloids all at once. Those old readers will be dissatisfied, and our advertisers will be dissatisfied. At that time, if new readers are not attracted, then our newspaper will be finished." Dean Fellers said again.

"I know everything you said, but time doesn't wait for anyone, so we don't have time to change it slowly. Those old readers can't keep up with the changes, so we can eliminate them. The old ones don't go to the new ones.

The new generation of Americans and the older generation of Americans have almost nothing in common. It is impossible to please both of them, but in the end they can only be unfamiliar with each other." Xia Tian waved his hand, "between new readers and old readers, I will still choose new readers."

"But many of the newspaper employees are old employees. I'm afraid they can't do it," Deanfirse said again.

"If you can't do it, you can only fire the squid with celery. After all, I bought the newspaper to make money for me. If you can't do it, you can only fire him." Xia Tian nodded and said.

"Mr. Xia, this is too cruel." Dean Phileus said in surprise when he saw Xia Tian say this. He didn't expect Xia Tian to be so strong.

"The shopping mall is like a battlefield, and there is no cruelty. If the newspaper wants to develop, it must go into battle lightly and reduce the burden. To be honest, I am going to lay off 30% of the people." Xia Tian said.

"Thirty percent?! Too much, right?" Dean Phileus said in surprise.

"How much is 30%? I have read the information from newspapers. Employees over 50 account for 30%; employees over 40% account for 40%; employees over 30 years old account for 27%; employees over 20 years old account for only 30%." Xia Tian smiled, "If our newspapers want to attract young readers, they must cater to the tastes of young people. If you have a group of old guys in their forties or fifties, can they write to their appetites?

If the newspapers want to develop, they must introduce new thinking and new talents. I will never keep anyone who sticks to old ideas and old thinking, and they will be fryed with celery."

"But many employees have been serving in newspapers for many years. If they are fired like this..." Pheles said in a tangled manner.

"Mr. Pheles, if you fire up 30% of these old employees and hire the same number of new employees, you can save 20 million US dollars a year with your salary alone. If you convert these 20 million US dollars into profits, you can get an extra 100,000 US dollars." Xia Tian smiled slightly and said, "Now, do you still think it is a bad thing to eliminate redundant employees?"

"Uh..." Dean Fellows hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, then listen to you Mr. Xia."

When Xia Tian saw that he agreed, he immediately smiled slightly.

He knew that Dean Phileus would betray his coworkers for money. Because since ancient times, money and sex have not been separated, since he is a good person, he will inevitably be greedy for money. As long as a person like this is greedy for money, he can sell his ancestors as long as he gives him some sweetness, let alone those coworkers.

"Okay, then I'll leave the layoffs to you. This is the first task I have assigned you. I hope you can do it well and show your ability. I'll wait for the good news of your victory." Xia Tian smiled.

"Okay, Mr. Xia, I will definitely do this." Dean Fellows nodded, and then asked impatiently, "When will I sign my new salary contract?"

"When you successfully complete the layoffs and let me see your abilities, I promise to give you a big surprise." Xia Tian said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you Mr. Xia." Dean Phileus nodded despite being a little disappointed.

"Okay, go." Xia Tian waved his hand.

...

The acquisition of the Washington Daily News in the summer was soon reported by well-informed American media, which caused a sensation.

"I'm going to buy America in the summer!"

"Watch it! Summer is eroding the entertainment industry in the United States!"

"Tianxia Animation, Columbia Pictures, Rainbow Media Holdings, Turner Broadcasting Corporation, Blockbuster Chain, Geffen Records, Washington Daily News...who will be his next acquisition target!"

The American media were very afraid of summer's continuous acquisitions and exclaimed "The Wolf is Coming".

Because the summer acquisitions are becoming more and more frequent, this year alone, he won four companies, including Turner Broadcasting, Blockbuster Chain, Geffen Records, and Washington Daily News. Moreover, these four companies are very important and are all the best in their respective fields.

Although the United States has always advocated freedom, fairness and the Min-min ruler, American society is actually very xenophobic.

Like black people lived in the United States for hundreds of years, working hard and making countless contributions, but it was not until the 1960s that the United States abolished the segregation policy. Black people were finally allowed to take the same bus with white people and go to the same school.

Now Xia Tian is an outsider and is constantly taking American companies into their pockets, which has caused dissatisfaction among many Americans. They believe that Xia Tian is an invader, so they have deep fear of him.

Newspapers, magazines, radio, television, etc. are all discussing this topic. Many Americans are bluntly speaking, clamoring to get out of the United States in summer.

Some U.S. lawmakers even took the lead in calling for an investigation into Xiatian, trying to find out his background, the origin of his money, and the illegality of his previous acquisitions.

Summer is not surprising about these.

He knew that American politicians were not elected by their talents, but by their foolings. All voters you can fool will come to vote for your vote, and you will be elected successfully.

So in order to make the people vote, these people speak according to the public's opinion. They say whatever the people like to hear.

For example, when Silari first ran for the election, she clearly stated that she did not support the legalization of homosexual marriages. However, when she ran for the second time, she changed her to support homosexual marriages.

Now some people in the United States are dissatisfied with their acquisition, so these politicians will immediately jump out to reap public opinion.

Xia Tian doesn’t care about these things. He still doesn’t farm after hearing the cicadas?! The soldiers come to block the generals, and the water comes to the soil and trunk.

Those politicians clamored to investigate him, so let them investigate. All his acquisitions were done with the assistance of the lawyers, ensuring that every step was in compliance with the norms, so it was not easy to find him.

Even if you go to a lawsuit, the US federal government may not have that much money to hire a lawyer, after all, their budgets are limited.

Furthermore, Xia Tian is not without politicians' support. Even the candidate Lao Bushi, who is his friend, is there anything he has to be afraid of?
