Get up, breakfast, work, lunch, nap, work, dinner.

This is the daily routine of Doug after talking to Lincoln.

Most of his time every day is spent on work. The content of office is not to expand new businesses, but to improve the businesses he already has.

Take the American Press Group as an example. Although at the beginning of its establishment, there was no independent profit demand for each small newspaper.

But now Doug has put profit demands on every newspaper.

To make money, don’t lose money, this is the deadline set by Doug.

He didn't really care how much wealth these newspapers could create for him, but he wanted to put enough pressure on the operators of these newspapers to allow the newspapers in their hands to have more interesting content under such pressure.

If all newspapers are the same content.

So what reason does the American Press Group have to maintain so many newspapers?

The newspaper's distribution area can be relatively small, but it must be distinctive enough to attract people from the newspaper's distribution location to buy it.

If every newspaper follows this code, the diversity of newspapers will become richer.

However, if you directly ask each small package of paper to have its own uniqueness, they don’t know how to do it.

Maybe you have to wait for other people's actions to make it different for the sake of different things.

In order to avoid this possible problem, Doug directly took whether he made a profit as his assessment goal.

The main reason is that if you fail to meet the profit requirements, you can leave.

It seems that Doug’s profit requirements seem a bit too much. But is it really too much?

People from different positions may have different opinions. At least Doug himself does not feel excessive about his decisions.

It's not because he's more reasonable, but because he's richer.

As for Blair, the nominal boss of the US Press Group, he is also supportive of Doug's approach.

Of course, he didn't support what Doug did, but he also felt that he needed to increase control over the following tabloids.

The establishment of the American Press Group is actually one capital acquisition after another.

Before these acquisitions, Blair himself was only the editor-in-chief of the New Haven Daily for many years and planned the New Haven Times.

This qualification is not very weak, but it is not very convincing.

Therefore, for other newspapers that have been acquired.

As the supervisor, at most, you rated us, so why should you lead us?

Therefore, although the group's requirements may continue.

However, Blair's feelings during this process will definitely not be comfortable.

In fact, it is extremely uncomfortable.

People who do news reporting always have enough ideas no matter how much ability they have.

On the one hand, Blair wanted to complete the tasks assigned by Doug to him, and on the other hand, he had to coordinate these people. From this perspective, it was indeed difficult for him to do.

Of course, at the same time, he can indeed feel power far beyond the rest of the world.

In this process, he could feel a certain degree of comfort.

However, although it is good to be happy, the resistance is still greater than the pleasure.

Therefore, Doug seemed to have distrust his ability and directly intervened. He did not disgust but supported him, which could already explain his attitude.

Of course, when Doug was performing various actions, he did not stand aside and wave the flag and shout, but acted as Doug's platoon, supervising and implementing Doug's instructions one by one.

At this time, Blair's understanding of Doug's abilities became clearer.

Being a leader may have a great sense of accomplishment, but being a leader will not be easy.

When a leader needs to do two things, one is to break down what needs to be done into small links that can be executed, and the other is to hand over these small links to those who can do these things.

The former requires familiarity with the business and personal abilities, while the latter depends on the management ability of subordinates.

Some people may be very organized when doing things themselves.

However, they will not be able to assign jobs, and even if they are able to lead their subordinates, they will not be able to lead their subordinates well.

What shocked Blair the most about Doug was not that he was very good at both abilities.

Not only can it decompose tasks, but it can also make those subordinates who are not very obedient.

It's his age.

Doug is only fifteen years old now, and it is really surprising that he can do this.

Although Doug has already promoted that he is twenty years old and looks younger, as a person around Doug, he still has his own judgment on Doug's age.

An adult white man who is already twenty years old can't be as young as Doug.

As for why Doug rectified the American Press Group at such a point in time.

First of all, he didn't have time before this.

First, he used the newspaper group to launch an attack on Bank of New Haven, and then used it to whitewash Bank of America, followed by a big battle with DuPont.

Until recently, the US Press Group did not have such a big task.

Of course, not without it.

Supporting the election of Abraham Lincoln is also one of them.

But it is still early to the real election. Too early publicity may not necessarily be a good thing to fatigue the audience.

Of course, voters will vote based on their familiarity.

However, if it is too annoying, maybe voters can vote for anyone except those promoted in the newspaper when voting.

Compared with the quick decisions between New Haven Bank and DuPont, the presidential election is another marathon battle that requires better physical strength.

Under such circumstances, in order to better carry out this publicity long-distance race.

It is normal for Doug to take advantage of the gap to criticize the media under the US Press Group.

Of course, while demanding profit.

For some disobedient people, Doug will also use some small methods to drive them from their current position.

These methods are not unbiased.

Doug just showed them evidence of their bribery when they reported to DuPont and Eagle Bank.

Let them make a decision on their own.

Should I admit defeat or see you in court?

Most people admit defeat.

Even if they think what they do is something everyone will do in their position.

This is not because they are in awe of the court, but because they have a deep distrust of the court.

Just like other things in the United States, judges in court will be more inclined to serve big capitalists.

This is not a deterioration in the courts in the United States, but a tradition in the courts in the United States.

Whether it is the lawyer system or the jury system.

For ordinary people, it may be fair enough, at least not biased, but for those who have more capital, it is not the case at all.

For them, lawyers can hire the best team of lawyers, and judges can choose within a certain range. As for juries, it is even more convenient to operate the person they want to invite.

Many times, court judgments are not important.

The real competition takes place outside the court.

Therefore, a reversal like a child's play is difficult to happen in American courts.

Most of the time, it is a naked showdown between money, power and power.

However, in the United States, we value wealth first, and only with money can we have power.

After all, positions like the US president that seem to be the throne are actually serving capitalists.

Capitalists have given some people the throne of president only to allow the government to make decisions in their interests on all levels.

Of course, the United States is good at putting gorgeous and beautiful cloaks on these ugly deals.

Although the president is actually serving big capitalists and big interest groups, they insist on talking lies with their eyes open and saying that these people are serving the interests of voters.

Of course, as an ordinary voter, I also feel that what I said is right.

After all, the president was really elected by them one by one.

only……

What they haven't realized is that they think they choose who they are their freedom.

But in fact, it's just that they think it's freedom.

Big capitalists can use a variety of methods to let them choose the person they want to make them choose.

Even if there is an accident.

The kind of president who truly represents the interests of voters cannot say how long it can be done.

First of all, no one in this world has ever done anything wrong.

Anyone has made mistakes, which can be large or small.

But for public figures, especially the president, small things are big things.

If a president supported by voters suddenly breaks out in addition to many scandals.

The news media has exaggerated his scandal. Will the vast majority of voters still stick to their persistence and almost support the president?

It will still support other options that seem to be stain-free.

And the other choices are not stained because they are really not stained or why?

Although the number of ordinary voters is the largest, their voices are not the biggest.

Even if they shout with their greatest voice, their voices can be easily covered up by the news media.

This is not that the content they promote is not good, but that they lack a reliable publicity medium.

Perhaps, in the past, voters' voices could be released to a certain extent.

However, for the American Press Group, which has been integrated by Doug, it is almost impossible to have such an opportunity from now on.

Because the American Press Group has made qualitative changes based on Doug's requirement to make a profit.

This change, to some extent, is very huge.

First of all, if the media wants to make a profit, they must make their target users willingly pay.

How to get the target user to pay?

This is the same as prostitute (harmonious) women please guests, and there is no difference.

A specific occupation and a specific living environment will determine the universal aesthetics of a circle.

Just like for the poor, obesity means no worries about food and drink, and represents wealth.

Different newspapers, if they want people to buy it, they have to please their audience.

Pleasing will inevitably be comfortable.

Although, the process of pleasing may not be the same.

After all, some circles like cold, some circles like unrestrained, and some circles like vulgar.

But whatever the appearance is, these newspapers have actually become newspapers that please their users.

The so-called persistence of media people and the so-called ethics of media people do not exist here.

Those beautiful things in the ivory tower cannot survive in the real world.

Media people like Roman who have romantic ideals will also turn things around step by step in reality, gradually getting rid of edges and becoming so-called mature people.

Even if the academics criticize this kind of flattery, in fact, if the market economy exists for one day, this flattery will not disappear for one day.

Because, if you want to live, you can only please the audience.

Before Doug, those newspapers might have preferred to go bankrupt than to do such pleasing actions and behaviors.

Do they don’t know that doing so will make a profit?

I know, of course they know.

But knowing that it is one thing, but it is another to really do it.

In this process, their body and mind are in pain.

Because, on the one hand, they know how to survive, but on the other hand, they are unwilling to do that.

Ideal and reality are divided into two completely different lines.

Their choice of ideals can therefore only fail in reality.

But why did Doug come so that these newspapers can please their audience?

First of all, Doug's approach is to change people without changing his mind.

If the current newspaper managers do not change their minds, then you can step down and let people with normal minds come.

This is equivalent to a great external pressure.

Under this external pressure, some people will always stick to their ideals and really give up the job in front of them.

But more people will have a sacred mood. However, they will actually do what they did not shame on before.

And, they will give themselves a psychological hint in the process.

"I was forced, I was helpless, I just wanted to survive."

They will blame all their faults on others, such as Blair, such as Doug.

They will do evil things while thinking they are still holy.

Even if they gain huge wealth because of things they think are evil, they will still think they are forced to do so.

Are they really forced to do so?

No, no.

They just want to find one for their own behavior.

No one thinks he is evil.

Even if he is a evil person, he thinks that everything he does is right.

Because only by believing that what you do is correct can you continue to do it with firm belief.
