"Thank you very much. I was fascinated by what I was reading just now. I gave you this newspaper. It contains essays by Lin Yanni and Yi Shu. You can read it to pass the time."
The young man said gratefully to the girl.
"It's okay, let's help each other. Thank you for your newspaper. I really like the articles written by Yi Shu. Jade Emperor Daily? Where did you buy this Jade Emperor Daily?"
"I bought it at the checkout counter of the Homemart convenience store. If you want to buy it, you can buy it there. Goodbye."
…
Omen.
An elder of the society couldn't help but marveled at the Jade Emperor Daily in his hand. Zhang Sheng had such a wonderful idea to write about tomb robbing. And the writing was so wonderful. I wonder what secrets are hidden in that rubbing, and this
He knows about King Lu. After all, mixed societies also need to learn culture, but who is King Lu of the Seven Stars? He has never heard of it.
"Boss, what is this in the newspaper about? I see you are reading it so seriously. Is it that good-looking?"
asked a boy next to him.
"You are a bad guy who doesn't even know a few words, and you can't understand me even if I tell you. I've told you so many times that even mixed societies have to be educated."
The elder looked at the younger brother next to him with contempt and said.
"Boss, just tell me."
Another younger brother said to the elder.
"You guys... go ahead! That's good. By the way, in the thirty-sixth line, tomb robbing is the king; tomb digging and fighting, Xiling is the strongest!"
"Boss, in the thirty-sixth row, the tomb robbers are not ranked first. How can the tomb robbers make money as quickly as opening a casino?"
The younger brother interrupted the boss directly.
"You bastard, do you still want to listen?"
The boss just went up and kicked him, and then cursed at the unsatisfactory group of people under him.
"Listen, listen, listen, boss, please continue."
The younger brother twisted his buttocks wider than the boss's flying feet, and said to the boss with a smile on his face.
"The story happened in Shacheng City fifty years ago. A group of tomb robbers in Shacheng City dug up a Warring States silk book in an ancient tomb. The fragment recorded the location of a peculiar Warring States tomb. However, the group of tomb robbers encountered
Bloody corpses, almost all dead..."
While the eldest brother was talking, the younger brother's eyes looked admiringly, very satisfied. It seems that being educated is useful.
"Boss, I heard in the play that the tomb of the old lady Cixi was dug by the warlord Sun Dianying. I heard that there are a lot of treasures in it, such as gold, antiques, luminous pearls, etc. There are really a lot of treasures in those tombs. I heard that there are a lot of treasures in those tombs.
There is an ancient tomb over there in Zhongshan, and there may be many treasures there. How about we..."
A younger brother encouraged me.
"Go away, there are corpses expelled from Xiangxi in Shacheng City, and there are Miao Gu in Yunnan. Who knows what is in the tomb in Zhongshan? I would rather believe it or not, don't you understand. And we are in a club now, maybe one day we will
If you are going to die a good death, it is better not to do such immoral things as digging graves. When the future comes, you can save a few days in the eighteenth level of hell."
Hong Kong Island, Ming Pao Press.
Jin Yong and Shen Baoxin were sitting together in the office. They had no idea how to prevent Lin Yanni and Yi Shu from joining Yuhuang Daily. It is human nature that when people go to higher places, water will flow to lower places.
"The "Xiao Shiyilang" written by this guy Gu Long is good, and the writing style is quite powerful. The tomb robbery written by Zhang Sheng... I really have a hard time evaluating it."
Shen Baoxin said hesitantly.
"There is nothing bad to say about this book. The subject matter of this book written by Zhang Sheng is novel and the story is fascinating. The only problem is that the subject matter chosen is really problematic. After this book comes out, I estimate that it will be popular in Hong Kong Island and even the entire Southeast Asia region."
There are a lot of tomb robbers out there, hahahahaha!"
Jin Yong said with a smile.
"Well, these are all small things. It's just that this time the Jade Emperor Daily is coming with a lot of force. With the addition of the Jade Emperor Daily, everyone's sales will probably drop a lot, especially the Hu Xian Xingdao Daily. Their content will be better.
The content of the Emperor's Daily is too similar, and it targets mostly the same reader groups, so I'm afraid it will be worse than other newspapers."
Shen Baoxin said regretfully.
"There is no way. Hong Kong Island is so big and there is only such a big market. In the past, big fish ate small fish, and small fish ate shrimps. Now a great white shark suddenly came to the fish pond. It can eat whoever it wants. This
It is indeed very powerless.
However, Jade Emperor Daily has provided us with a lot of news materials. In the past, our Ming Pao news section copied the news from Sing Tao Daily. Now we can directly copy the news from Jade Emperor Daily. We only need to analyze the international news in Jade Emperor Daily and publish comments.
That’s it, it saves us a lot of trouble.”
"However, our Ming Pao's main focus is, in this regard, our Ming Pao has you as the main writer, and our layout is absolutely unsurpassed."
Shen Baoxin said with a smile.
…
At ten o'clock in the morning, it was still the same newsstand, and it was still the same newsstand owner. Looking at the Jade Emperor Daily that was sold out, I was speechless.
Thousands of copies of Jade Emperor Daily were immediately sold out. He never expected that they would sell out so quickly. The copy he planned to keep for himself was also snatched away if he was not careful.
When he was young, he sold newspapers on the street with a bag on his back, and later he opened his own restaurant. As a senior practitioner who has been dealing with newspapers all his life, he understood that the tabloids in Hong Kong Island were in a terrible situation.
The major newspapers in Hong Kong all have contracted writers, and many readers follow the serials published by the larger newspapers. However, the tabloids on the market are completely finished. From now on, they can only rely on Liu Bei to make a living, and there will no longer be a chance to rise.
At the same time, he felt that he might have been conservative, as he had underbooked the Jade Emperor Daily, and his restaurant was located in Tsim Sha Tsui.
Tsim Sha Tsui is the only way to take the Star Ferry from Kowloon to Hong Kong Island. If you want to go to the port, you must pass by its own newspaper office.
Although the peak period for selling newspapers in the morning has passed, there are still morning, noon and evening. Not everyone will buy newspapers as soon as possible every morning. A large number of people will buy newspapers at noon and evening. Do you want to order them again?
How many newspapers, he was a little unsure about.
"Hey, this is the newsstand at the Star Ferry Pier in Tsim Sha Tsui. I'll order another five hundred copies, no, eight hundred more copies of Jade Emperor Daily, yes, eight hundred copies of the newspaper.
Yes, that's right, Star Ferry Newsstand, 800 copies, please deliver it as soon as possible, thank you!"
The newsstand owner let out a long sigh of relief when he put down the phone. It was not easy to get through the phone. He called several times in a row and all the lines were busy. It seemed that other places were also sold out. This made the newsstand owner sigh, Zhang Sheng is Zhang Sheng.
A newspaper can reach the pinnacle of Hong Kong Island's newspaper industry in one step.
After the newsstand owner made the call, less than half an hour later, the delivery personnel from Yuhuang Newspaper arrived at the newsstand, took out eight bundles of newspapers from the car and handed them to the newsstand owner, who also opened them one by one.
The layout is good and the service attitude is definitely a five-star rating.
"You handsome boy, your Jade Emperor Newspaper's delivery speed is very fast."
The newsstand owner praised while sorting the newspapers.
"Our Yuhuang Newspaper has several distribution points on Hong Kong Island. Think about it, our company under the Yuhuang Group, whether it is delivery from CFC restaurant or Carrefour supermarket, which one is not fast? I am dispatched from CFC
I came here to help temporarily."
"Haha, don't tell me it's true. No matter what your Jade Emperor Group sends you, it's always so fast."
"Boss, you're busy, I have to go to another store to deliver."
…
The owner of the newsstand in Ocean Terminal was surprised when he saw the decline of the Jade Emperor Daily in the newsstand. He was afraid that there would not be enough newspapers and ordered an extra three thousand copies. However, these three thousand newspapers were visible to the naked eye.
The speed is decreasing, and it looks like it won't be able to hold on much longer.
He felt that the sales volume of his newsstand today should be the first on Hong Kong Island. Harbor City enters the port every day, with countless freighters leaving and leaving the port, and countless people entering and leaving.
Not to mention the tourists and passengers who come to Ocean Terminal every day, the traffic volume is definitely the highest on Hong Kong Island, so although the rent is expensive, he still gritted his teeth and rented it, because the business here is completely worthy of the high rent.
"Hey, I'm Lao Gou, the owner of the newsstand in Harbor City. I'll order another two thousand copies of Jade Emperor Daily. Yes, that's two thousand copies. Okay, hurry up and thank you."
The telephone operators of Jade Emperor Newspaper Company kept answering calls one after another.
Zhang Zhonghua and other senior leaders who were waiting for the news in the conference room all had satisfied smiles on their faces. The sales of Jade Emperor Daily were more popular than they expected. The popularity made them feel that it was a little too much.
"Boss, all the newspapers in many Homemart convenience stores and CFC restaurants have been sold out. There are also several stores located in densely populated areas. The second order has also been sold out. We are now asking for the third order.
."
"Yeah, but! The company's delivery people still give priority to supplying newspapers to various newsstands. Our company's convenience stores sell newspapers just by the way. Let's give this profit to the newsstands. We print enough newspapers, right?"
Zhang Zhonghua thought for a moment and said.
"There is no problem with the number of newspapers printed in advance. We printed 100,000 newspapers for the first time last night. In the morning, after the first time was sold out, the printing factory printed another 100,000 copies to supply Hong Kong Island and Austria.
door area.
As for Wanwan Province, our group’s influence there is slightly weaker, and we have printed and supplied 200,000 newspapers, which should be enough.”
The printing director of Jade Emperor News reported to Zhang Zhonghua.
The population of Omen is only about 246,000, the population of Hong Kong Island is about 4 million, and the population of Wanwan Province is about 13 million.
Excluding foreigners, there are about 16 million Yanxia-speaking people in the Gangaowan area. Excluding children and some people who don’t read newspapers at all, there are at least 10 million people. Excluding those who are simply illiterate and cannot read newspapers, we count five
Millions of newspaper readers.
For these five million newspaper readers, our early newspaper sales target is 500,000 copies. It should not be too much for an average of ten people to buy one copy of Jade Emperor Daily among the five million newspaper readers.
Zhang Zhonghua flirted for a while, and then he said that he didn't need the money he earned from buying newspapers, but what he needed was the influence of newspapers.
After clearing away the distracting thoughts in his mind, Zhang Zhonghua asked: "How is the subscription status of Jade Emperor Daily now?"
"Boss, at noon we compiled a summary and found that there are as many as 1,500 companies or units that subscribe to newspapers directly through telephone calls and convenience stores, totaling more than 45,000 newspapers.
Basically all companies of a slightly larger scale and various government departments in Hong Kong have subscribed to us. As for the sales data of newspapers, it is not certain yet. After all, the initial sales data are not very real. It will take at least half a month to see the sales volume of our newspapers.
Only after it stabilizes can the sales data be used as a reference."
At this moment, the door to the conference room was pushed open, and it was Lin Xingzhi's secretary.
The secretary looked at Lin Xingzhi, and then walked to him: "Boss, the newspapers in Wanwan Province are not enough, we need to print more newspapers, and there are not enough newspapers here in Hong Kong Island. I am afraid we will have to print them again."
"
"Then print more. If we don't sell out, we can continue selling it tomorrow. Maybe some readers want to read today's chapter. And even if we can't sell out, it's okay. Let everyone who wants to buy our newspaper be able to
Buy it."
Zhang Zhonghua laughed, and then discussed with the management the establishment of a branch of Yuhuang Newspaper in Japan. After all, Japan is not comparable to the Hong Kong and Aowan areas.
Japan alone has a population of over 100 million, and its cultural level is several blocks behind Southeast Asia. If newspapers become more popular, sales will far exceed those in the Hong Kong and Aowan areas.
In Southeast Asia, newspapers can only be sold for 2 cents each, while in Japan the ex-factory price of a newspaper is basically around 50 cents to 70 cents, and the retail price after entering the newsstand is around 1 yuan.
This is the difference between the two places. In Southeast Asia, neither the number of newspaper readers nor the selling price is high, so you can’t make any money selling newspapers. But it is different in Japan. The number of newspaper readers is huge, and the sales of newspapers are huge.
The price is higher, so making newspapers in Japan is a profitable business, and newspapers do not make money by selling newspapers. How much money can they make only by selling newspapers? Newspapers rely on advertising to make money.
"Has the price for newspaper advertisements been determined yet?"
Zhang Zhonghua asked.
"Boss, we have drawn up a few grades first:
The first level is global advertising, the top advertising contract for global promotion, which will be published simultaneously in all our newspapers in the future;
The second level, continental advertising, is a sub-top advertisement for each continent. It will be published in all newspapers in a continent, and different charging standards will be determined according to different continents;
The third level is regional advertising, advertising targeting multiple regional countries;
The fourth level, national advertising, is advertising targeted at a certain country or region;
The fifth level, urban area advertising, is aimed at areas where multiple cities are combined;
The sixth level, city advertising, advertising for a certain city."
Lin Xingzhi introduced to Zhang Zhonghua the newspaper advertisements he had negotiated with senior newspaper executives before.
