Li Yinguang took over Zhibai Pavilion and set his sights on the field of "paid content", that is, paid newspapers.
"City Lord, according to your instructions, we have investigated all the large and small newspapers in Manbach Town. So far, there are a total of 103 newspapers in operation, of which more than 70 newspapers are from the 'Manbach Town Small Newspapers'
Registration started after establishment, and most of the business directions are in the field of "advertising newspapers".
There are more than two dozen newspapers left, the largest ones being the 'Manbach Town Daily', 'The Mercenary Daily', 'The Hunter', and the 'Human Journal'.
Among them, the 'Manbach Town Daily' is an industry owned by Lord Manbach, and its daily sales volume remains stable at around 3,000 copies.
'Mercenary Daily' belongs to the 'Mercenary Association' newspaper, and its main users are the 'mercenary' group. In addition to daily newspapers, it also has weekly and monthly magazines, etc. Weekly magazines will have one issue every two to three weeks, and monthly magazines will have one issue every three to five weeks.
An issue will be published every month, but the weekly and monthly magazines are only available to members of the Mercenary Association and are difficult for outsiders to buy.
I heard that weekly and monthly magazines will record some things outside the Manbach Town area, and the prices are relatively expensive!"
Li Yinguang interrupted the old dog and asked curiously: "What is the price of Mercenary Weekly and Monthly?"
"Each issue of 'Mercenary Weekly' costs 18 silver bull coins, and the monthly magazine costs about fifty or sixty silver bull coins. I couldn't find out because it was too specific!" The old dog shook his head.
Li Yinguang asked thoughtfully: "Are there any mandatory requirements for joining the Mercenary Association?"
The old dog said: "It doesn't seem to be the case, but the mercenary association will classify its registered members into different levels. Only those who increase their level will enjoy certain privileges. For example, in terms of tasks, members who have just joined can only receive the most basic tasks.
, the details are not very clear, the Mercenary Association is just a loose organization, but it is very large, and its tentacles extend to all over the world!"
Li Yinguang nodded and motioned for him to continue.
The old guard dog said: "In addition to the Manbach Town Daily and the mercenary newspaper, there is also the Hunter newspaper, which belongs to the hunter organization. This organization is looser than the mercenary association, but the newspaper is open to everyone, and sometimes there will be
It publishes some missions, acquisition news, and sometimes some introductions to wasteland creatures, so it is quite popular.
Its release time is variable. Sometimes it is released consecutively, and sometimes it is released only every three to five days or even half a month. However, each time it is released, there are more people buying it. Basically, even if it is released continuously, the sales volume of each issue will be different.
It will be less than 5,000 copies.
The Hunter's Newspaper sells for between thirty and eighty copper bull coins per issue, with the most expensive not exceeding eighty copper bull coins. It is considered a newspaper that is relatively close to the people.
'Human Journal' is the most expensive of all newspapers. Each issue costs 588 silver bull coins, and it only accepts reservations. Each reservation requires payment of ten issues, which is a year's fee.
It records various news about the human race and the like. It seems that the number of reservations in the town of Manbach is no less than a thousand copies every year. It is not too clear who is ordering it!"
Li Yinguang flashed: "Are there any conditions for ordering human journals?"
The old dog shook his head: "This doesn't seem to exist. You can order it by paying money. You can confirm your place of residence. The newspaper company will deliver the journal to your door. You can also deposit it at the 'Human Journal' newspaper office and collect it yourself."
Li Yinguang nodded: "Go back and order a copy of the 'Human Journal'. When the 'Hunter Newspaper' is released in the future, try to buy a copy. Well, there is also a 'Mercenary Newspaper'. It's best to get their weekly magazine.
' and 'Monthly'."
"yes!"
The old dog said he had written it down.
"Keep talking!"
The old dog said: "Except for the four newspapers 'Manbach Town Daily', 'Mercenary Daily', 'Hunter' and 'Terran Journal', the sales volume of other paid newspapers is basically less than a thousand copies.
, the selling price is basically around ten copper bull coins.”
Seeing that Li Yinguang did not interrupt him to ask anything, he continued: "In the field of free newspapers, most of them are newly established, and there are also old newspapers that have been transformed. I heard that the 'Manbach Town Daily' is also preparing to enter the advertising newspaper.
In addition to the field, there are relatively large free newspapers such as 'Butcher's Daily', 'Beach Daily', 'Jiuyou Daily', etc. This is basically what I heard about!"
Li Yinguang nodded and asked thoughtfully: "In the town of Manbach, are there any newspapers specifically issued to women?"
The old dog thought for a while and shook his head: "It doesn't seem like this!"
Li Yinguang smiled: "Take a note, in the future we will publish a newspaper for women, and the name will be 'Madam Daily'." He tilted his head and thought for a while, then shook his head: "It seems not comprehensive enough, 'Madam'
It represents upper-class women, and the dividing line between groups is relatively clear. In this way, we need to include all women, women, and even maternal groups, and then create a newspaper that caters to all female audience groups. The name..."
He raised his head, looked at Sophia, Scarface, Lan Ling and others, and asked: "As women, do you have any good suggestions?"
Lan Ling hesitated for a moment and then said, "How about the Human Race Women's Newspaper?"
Li Yinguang smiled and nodded: "This name is good, but... I guess if we use this name 'Human Journal', there will most likely be trouble for us. They are an old newspaper company, and it is a large newspaper distributed throughout the world. Behind the scenes
There may be some big shots supporting us, so it’s best not to provoke them in the short term.”
Lan Ling was stunned for a moment, and then nodded to express her agreement with Li Yinguang's opinion. She indeed had not thought of these things, and it was indeed the impression of "human race" that came to her mind when Lao Gou and Li Yinguang talked about "human race journal" just now.
And the coverage of the human race seems not wide enough, because Li Yinguang wants to create a female-only newspaper that can be promoted throughout the wilderness and cover all races.
"It's called 'Women's News'?" Sophia asked tentatively.
Li Yinguang said with a smile: "It's not bad, it's a good name, but it's a bit too grand, and it's easy for people to hate you because of the name."
"How about calling it the 'Women's Report in the Wilderness'?" Scarface said.
Li Yinguang nodded: "The geographical coverage is wide enough, and the name is very impressive, but in general, it does not highlight what women want. Women are not vassals. They, or you, should have their own characters and have their own wants."
and the things they pursue. This is true for powerful women, and it should be the same for ordinary women.”
Not being a vassal of men? How many women in the entire wilderness can do this?
In fact, in the eyes of many, or most people, women are just vassals, they dominate and depend on men.
Whether it's a slave, a servant, or a noble princess.
But are these really what women want?
"Women should have their own independent personalities. Otherwise, let's create an 'independent women's newspaper'? Exclusively published for women in the wilderness to read!" An idea flashed in Li Yinguang's mind and he said with a smile.
"The Independent Woman?"
Lan Ling and Sophia looked at each other, and then nodded subconsciously: "This name is really good!"
"good!"
Li Yinguang clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Then we have settled on publishing two exclusive newspapers for women, one named 'Madame Daily' and the other named 'Independent Women's Newspaper'."
Sophia found it a bit funny: "City Lord, it seems that a newspaper with just a name is not enough. What content will be published in the 'Lady's Daily' and the 'Independent Women's Newspaper', and can these contents attract women to pay for them?"
Li Yinguang narrowed his eyes, smiled, and asked: "You are all women. What are women thinking in their hearts? You should know better than me, right?"
What is a woman thinking?
Sophia frowned. She really didn't know what women were thinking. In this world, do women understand women better, or do men understand women better? There is really no definite answer!
"This may be a bit difficult to understand." Li Yinguang thought for a while and said with a smile: "Let's change the direction. What do you like?"
"What do we like?"
"right!"
Li Yinguang nodded and said, "What do you like?"
Sophia said: "I love that the ShadowClan people can be revived."
Li Yinguang shook his head and said with a smile: "This is not like, this is hope, two different concepts, such as what you like to eat, what you like to see, what kind of clothes you like, what kind of men you like, etc.!"
"I like to eat the 'fish porridge' and 'berry soup' made by Snow Lady, I like the 'Elf Heart' perfume made by you, the city lord, and I also like the current castle." Sophia seemed to understand Li Yinguang.
What he was asking, he raised the corners of his mouth, smiled and said.
Li Yinguang smiled and said: "Yes, these are what you like, and as a woman, a woman, a girl, maybe what you like, other women will also like."
Turning to look at Lan Ling, he asked: "What about you, what do you like? Be bold and don't feel embarrassed to say it."
Lan Ling's face was slightly red, but there were no outsiders in the small newspaper office in Manbach Town. He hesitated and said: "I like the 'Purple Dew Crossbow' you bought for me, I like the 'Lady' perfume, and I like the sparkle."
Good-looking jewelry, and I also like gemstones... I like looking at good-looking men."
Haha, woman!
Li Yinguang didn't laugh at Lan Ling on his face, because what she said was normal, jewelry, handsome men, what woman wouldn't like them.
We are both human beings. If men have desires, will women not? It’s just that men and women may have slightly different expressions.
Li Yinguang looked at Scarface and asked, "What about you, what do you like?"
It’s unclear what Scarface’s expression is under the mask, and his eyes are well concealed, making it difficult for others to see. Listening to Li Yinguang’s question, Scarface said: “I like my master, and I like to be looked up to. For example, in
Before I met you, I had a group of younger brothers and sisters who admired me and were obedient, and I liked that feeling very much."
After a slight pause, he continued: "I also like to be cared about and feel sorry for. I like to be beautiful, be envied by others, be praised by you, and like beautiful clothes."
There is no doubt that what Scarface said is very 'true'.
No matter how elegant and noble women are, they are all vain, and there should be no exceptions to this. Vanity is the same for men and women. It is something in the genes and cannot be avoided.
"I like romance, I like being conquered by men, I like beautiful clothes, delicious food, and I also like to be praised, worshiped, and complimented by others!"
