Chapter 1182: Chapter 405: dia Storm Rising in California
ps: No skipped chapters, it’s mainly that the previous chapter numbers didn’t sound very good~~
.
Although Harry Chandler was highly attentive to the Atlantic City Post entering California, in reality, nothing major had happened in California recently for the average person.
There were, however, two pieces of news concerning the dia industry.
One was that the “Victor’s Post” in Los Angeles and the “Independent Newspaper” in San Francisco got acquired in succession.
These two newspapers were not well-known in their respective cities and had limited circulation; outsiders wouldn’t even know them unless they were from the main community.
So, the news of these two newspapers being acquired did not cause any sensation initially.
Only a few people in the newspaper industry paid attention to this matter.
Of course, people from the Los Angeles Tis also paid attention to this matter.
“Do these two newspapers have any connection to Venus Bank?”
Harry Chandler asked Bob Ferry.
This information was reported to Harry Chandler by Bob Ferry.
“For now, there doesn’t seem to be any relevant connection. I’ve sent soone to investigate, and the acquirers of these two newspapers are different companies. For now, it appears there’s no connection between them.”
Harry Chandler nodded, “I understand. You’ve done well in reporting this. We mustn’t be complacent!”
“Thank you, boss. I’ll do my best!”
Bob Ferry left Harry Chandler’s office.
Regarding the situation Bob Ferry reported, Harry Chandler had already heard about it from Kyle Palr just a few minutes earlier.
The order given to Kyle Palr by Bob Ferry was also to observe the situations of these two newspapers.
“So, were these two newspapers really acquired by Venus Bank?”
Though unable to confirm this, Harry Chandler quickly ascertained one thing: the new owner of the “Victor’s Post” was quite resourceful.
Originally, the delivery teams of major newspapers in Los Angeles were controlled by the Los Angeles Tis, Forum Newspaper, and Pioneer Newspaper. Other newspapers had to rely on their delivery teams because their circulation was insufficient to maintain a delivery team.
In such circumstances, it ant these three newspapers controlled the newspaper industry in most cities of Los Angeles and California.
But just the day after “Victor’s Post” was acquired, a piece of news unsettled Harry Chandler.
“The news is now confird: ‘Victor’s Post’ has published a recruitnt ad in their newspaper, inviting kids at ho to join their delivery team to earn pocket money!
I’ve had our people conduct random visits with so parents, and they highly approve of this, seeing it as a way to cultivate their children’s independent capability.”
Kyle Palr remarked with a heavy heart.
Also present in Harry Chandler’s office was the just-arrived Bob Ferry, who was actually there to report the sa matter, but Kyle Palr had beaten him to it!
Bob Ferry had just learned about this news himself, and at that mont, he felt a sigh in his heart.
He had more information, naturally, such as knowing that the real acquirer of the Los Angeles “Victor’s Post” was the Atlantic City Post.
However, at the ti he first learned this news, he wasn’t optimistic about the situation. The Los Angeles Tis, Pioneer Newspaper, and Forum Newspaper had been operating in Los Angeles for a long ti, with credibility already established. Alongside the public’s habitual consumption patterns, even if the Atlantic City Post acquired “Victor’s Post,” it wouldn’t be possible for them to achieve any results in the short term.
But now, one move by the “Victor’s Post” changed his ideas.
Using kids to form a delivery team—firstly, this move is a positive in the eyes of many adults, as they are happy to see kids getting exercise.
In this situation, it could lead to so people subscribing to the “Victor’s Post.”
Most importantly, if “Victor’s Post” manages to pull this off, it essentially disrupts the control of the three major newspapers over Los Angeles’ delivery teams.
This would encourage more newspapers to join in. As things shift, the influence of the Los Angeles Tis naturally becos smaller!
Harry Chandler sat on his sofa with a somber expression, knowing full well the influence a delivery team has on a newspaper.
“Boss, there’s a problem in this!”
Bob Ferry reminded Harry Chandler.
Harry Chandler looked at Bob Ferry and asked, “What problem did you discover?”
Kyle Palr watched Bob Ferry warily, not knowing what issue the other might have thought of that he hadn’t.
Bob Ferry spoke, “We all know about the delivery team’s operations. They need to pick up newspapers from the printing plant and then deliver them to our custors’ hos.
But these kids aren’t obviously equipped for that. Even if their parents allow them to do this, it’s impossible to expect them to ride bicycles all the way to the printing plant to collect newspapers. So in this situation, they can only get newspapers in their community. How do they manage this process?”
Kyle Palr, hearing this question from Bob Ferry, breathed a sigh of relief and said, “That’s simple. ‘Victor’s Post’ is a small newspaper, lacking the ability to employ a large-scale delivery team, but they can hire a few. These people can transport newspapers to different zones and then hand them over to those little brats!”
