Chapter 14 Half of the national newspaper offices are about to disappear
Yes, on January 4 next year, the first advertisement of the new era will appear in China.
Moreover, this advertisement was published in the newspaper.
What's even more amazing is that ten days after this advertisement is published, the country will launch a series of favorable policies for the development of advertising...
1979 has always enjoyed the reputation of being the first year of advertising!
After that year, the advertising industry ushered in its spring!
But what Jiangshan knows better is that before the first advertisement appears, another big thing will happen.
The impact of this incident is so exaggerated that it will directly change the fate of newspapers everywhere!
Half of the nation's newspaper offices are about to disappear.
And the newspaper that dared to be the first to take advantage of the situation went on to eat up all the dividends in the industry!
Hiss~
Thinking of this, Jiang Shan thought about his elder brother's words again and couldn't help but ask: "Brother, why did the newspaper suddenly promote you to deputy editor-in-chief?"
The eldest brother remembers what he said: "Last month, the editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief were transferred at the same time, and the superior leader arranged for me to be the acting deputy editor-in-chief."
"The editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief were transferred at the same time?" Jiang Shan's face darkened, and he immediately realized something was wrong: "What a coincidence?"
"It's quite a coincidence."
"You didn't think about it more?"
"What are you thinking about?"
Jiangshan and his eldest brother Jianghai, a Pujiang Daily Press and a Pujiang Newspaper Printing Factory.
Standard brother unit.
At this moment, he felt that he had to remind his elder brother, so he said seriously: "They should have got the news!"
The eldest brother Jiang Hai raised his eyes and asked: "What's the news?"
Jiang Shan said in one word: "Within three months, half of the newspapers across the country may cease publication."
Dad Jiang: "What?"
Jiang Ma: “What does suspension of publication mean?”
"It's almost like closing the door,"
The eldest brother Jiang Hai explained, his expression already serious, but then he looked at his younger brother and couldn't help but laugh:
"Stop talking nonsense, what do you know?"
Jiang Shan put down his bowl and chopsticks completely: "Last month, the eight major newspapers and periodicals in Yanjing have submitted applications to the Ministry of Finance. Do you know what the applications are?"
Jiang Hai found it a bit funny. He knew how much his younger brother weighed.
But Ma Jiang on the side asked nervously: "What application?"
Jiang Shan lowered his voice: "They applied for trial: corporate management of public institutions. Do you know what this means?"
The chopsticks in Jiang Hai's hand finally stopped: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"Why is it impossible? Everyone is talking about development, but you think the higher authorities are just talking about it?"
"But if it's really like what you said..." Jiang Hai didn't dare to think about it further.
Therefore, Jiangshan decided to force him to think: "All newspapers will embark on the road of independent operation and self-financing. Whoever loses again will be eliminated by the Propaganda Department!"
What Jiang Shan said is not an exaggeration at all. Around 1979, half of the newspapers in the country ceased publication. Although they regained their glory later, a large number of newspapers still fell before dawn.
The newspaper and periodical system is the first experimental field for national enterprise reform.
Lao San's words seemed to have stirred a certain nerve in Jiang Hai.
Although he had noticed something was wrong, his intuition told him that it was definitely not Lao San who said this, even though his vocabulary was much more professional this time:
"Third brother, no matter how old you are, you still watch three dozen white-bone demons."
It's still a manuscript.
But the next second, the door was pushed open, and in came the elder sister-in-law Hu Lina.
Jiang Xiaobai, who had just been immersed in eating rice, immediately stood up and shouted, his big round eyes full of expectation: "Mom."
Hu Lina did not respond to her son, but simply glanced at the dishes on the table, making no secret of her disdainful expression.
"Jiang Hai," she didn't even bother to sit down, so she stood at the door and said:
"My dad met an old friend from Yanjing today, and I heard him say that soon the newspaper will implement the policy of operating independently and taking responsibility for its own profits and losses. The Finance Bureau will no longer bear the burden of the loss-making newspaper."
She spoke so fast that Jiang Hai was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Hu Lina looked at him coldly, with a look of hatred in her eyes.
Just yesterday, she was proud to show off her husband's promotion to deputy editor in front of her family.
I thought I would finally be able to straighten up my life at my parents' house, but I didn't expect that my father would throw cold water on me the next day.
When others were promoted, they were promoted, but when it was her lover's turn, she was left in a mess.
Looking at the scene where everyone at the table was stunned at the same time, Hu Lina sneered:
"I said how could something good happen to you? My dad said that for the leaders of your unit, someone must have warned them in advance and quickly found connections to transfer them away. So you are still in the dark? No one from above just doesn't know.
Same."
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole family looked at Jiangshan.
After a while, the second child Jiang He laughed: "What do I think it is? This is a surprise!"
"Sister-in-law," the younger sister Jiang Chuan said lazily, "our whole family has known this news for a long time!"
Hu Lina glanced at her sideways: "What can you know?"
"Xiao Li, it must have been applied to eight newspapers in Yanjing," Father Jiang said calmly:
"We already know, but we still have to thank my father-in-law!"
Father Jiang, who has always been suppressed by the university professor's in-laws, felt the joy of winning a fight this time!
Hu Lina looked in disbelief: "How could you know? This news has not been officially released yet, and my dad only found out by chance."
At this time, Jiang Hai stood firm: "Father-in-law has worked hard, I still have to thank him no matter what!"
Hu Lina, who had her mouth half open, took a moment to come to her senses and regain her calm expression.
Facing this small and ambitious family, he sneered: "In that case, I don't have to come back to tell you any inside information in the future!"
She finally saw clearly that this family was poor and arrogant even though they had no ability.
I was so lazy that I didn't care. I turned around and opened the door and left without a trace.
At the same time as the door closed, everyone at the table immediately turned to Jiang Shan, except for the second child, Jiang He.
"Everyone be quiet,"
The eldest brother, Jiang Hai, raised his hand and asked directly after hearing the news: "Third brother, where did you get this news?"
Jiang Shan had been waiting for him to say this: "I promise not to tell others!"
The eldest brother Jiang Hai felt that he must ask clearly today, but the next second, he suddenly remembered the scene when he saw Jiang Shan coming out of Uncle Li's house after get off work.
Could it be...?
Having lived in the same compound for so many years, he certainly knew that these old neighbors were not simple.
So that’s it, Jiang Hai instantly identified the source of Jiang Shan’s news!
"Okay, I have an idea."
"What number do you have?" Jiang Shan asked: "This news will be announced in a month. How are you going to respond then?"
Jiang Hai kept sweating during this meal, but he calmed down after a while: "Then~ what else do you know about the inside story!"
When Jiang Shan looked at Jiang Hai again, he felt that this elder brother's adaptability was not as bad as he thought!
He said word by word: "I do know another piece of news. Pujiang Decoration Company submitted an application to restart its advertising business a few months ago."
