The beautiful female secretary pushed in the door with a stack of newspapers and whispered to Ma Chengkun, who was leaning on the boss's chair with his eyes closed and concentrating: "Boss, this is today's newspaper."
Ma Chengkun opened his eyes, exhaled and said to his secretary: "Make me a cup of coffee."
The female secretary took the order and went to make coffee, while Ma Chengkun forced himself to open the newspaper sent by the secretary. The first thing he does every day at work is to read the newspaper. This is a habit that Ma Chengkun has developed for a long time. The newspaper currently on the table
, they are all screened and sorted by the secretary, and the more important reports are placed at the top.
As the head of a large newspaper group, 23-year-old Ma Chengkun is really too young.
No way, Ma Chengkun's uncle was accused of smuggling 700 tons of opium into Hong Kong the year before last, and fled to Taiwan to hide in embarrassment; his father was accused of drug trafficking and bribery last year, jumped bail and fled to Taiwan, and is still in jail.
The older generation of the Ma family were all from Sanhehui. After the incident, they all packed up and ran away. The Oriental Daily could only be carried by the younger generation.
Today's "Oriental Daily", Ma Chengkun controls the overall situation as chairman and general manager, and his cousin Ma Tingqiang, who is the same age as him, is responsible for the external affairs of the newspaper. Two 23-year-old young people are in charge of a large newspaper. Although they are full of energy, they have no choice but to do so.
With insufficient experience and skills, the sales volume of "Oriental Daily" dropped again and again, almost falling below 100,000 copies.
The first thing Ma Chengkun opened was his own "Oriental Daily News", and he scanned all the pages. When he turned to the supplement, he suddenly frowned. The page that was supposed to be a serialized novel by Ni Jiam was actually replaced by a new novel "
"Looking for Qin", the author Kang Jianfei's name has never been heard of.
As the general manager, Ma Chengkun is in charge of the management department of "Oriental Daily" and is mainly responsible for running the newspaper's advertising, distribution, external relations, etc. As for the content of the newspaper, the selection of manuscripts, etc., it is the editorial department of Xu Jixin.
Xu Jixin is an old man left behind by his father, and Ma Chengkun respects him very much. He usually does not interfere in the affairs of the editorial department. But this time he was a little dissatisfied with Xu Jixin. Replacing Ni Jixin's novel in the supplement was a big deal, but Xu Jixin actually
Didn't even say hello to him.
It's a small thing to say it, but it's a big thing not to inform him. Ma Chengkun's anger comes from Xu Jixin's disrespect for him!
Ma Chengkun suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and continued to open other newspapers. Now he had to rely on Xu Jixin to run the newspaper. It would not be good for anyone to break up.
The second one was Ta Kung Pao. The secretary directly opened the seventh page and highlighted the important reports with a red pen.
"Housing dirt and evil people, the shame of reporting"
The bold black font made Ma Chengkun feel unhappy as soon as he saw it.
This report specifically criticized "Oriental Daily". The content of the criticism was basically concentrated on the "Fang Yue" page of "Oriental Daily", saying that "Oriental Daily" sells porn and is vulgar.
The romantic page mentioned in "Ta Kung Pao" is actually one of the pages of the supplement of "Oriental Daily", which is dedicated to publishing some erotic and romantic affairs. Compared with the content of the sexual drama in Kang Jianfei's "Xun Qin Ji", compared with the content of the romantic page of "Oriental Daily",
It was like a small witch could see a big witch, so the editor-in-chief Xu Jixin had no worries about the erotic articles in "Xun Qin Ji" that day.
"Ta Kung Pao" has a mainland background, while "Oriental Daily" is pro-Taiwan, and the two newspapers are diametrically opposed to each other. This time, due to the continuous decline in sales of "Oriental Daily", in order to attract readers, the articles in the Fengyue Edition became more and more pornographic.
It was so explicit that it immediately attracted criticism from Ta Kung Pao. At the end of the article, it even recommended that the Hong Kong government shut down Oriental Daily for rectification.
When Ma Chengkun saw this kind of article, he felt angry. The sales volume of "Oriental Daily" reached the first place in Hong Kong two years ago. As a result, his father and uncle got into trouble one after another. Other newspapers beat the losers, and all kinds of negative reports flooded in.
As a result, the sales of "Oriental Daily" suffered successive setbacks.
"Dong dong dong!"
There was a knock on the door. Ma Chengkun threw away the newspaper, sat up straight and pretended to be calm and dignified, then coughed and said: "Come in."
The person who came in was the editor-in-chief Xu Jixin. He was holding the newspaper in his hand and his face was full of joy. It seemed that he had encountered a great event.
Ma Chengkun stood up and said enthusiastically: "Uncle Xu, please sit down quickly. Do you have anything to do with me?"
Xu Jixin raised the "Oriental Daily" in his hand and said happily: "Chairman, today's 110,000 copies of the newspaper have been sold out. It seems that at least 120,000 copies will be printed tomorrow!"
"Really?" Ma Chengkun, who had been pretending to be sophisticated just now, finally exposed his youthful and impatient nature, with a look of excitement and joy on his face.
When Ma Chengkun took over the "Oriental Daily" last year, the Ma family was in turmoil and the newspaper office was divided. The sales volume of the newspaper dropped from 160,000 copies to 102,000 copies last month. Just when Ma Chengkun could no longer hold on, the sales volume of the newspaper suddenly
After bottoming out, how can you not get excited?
"It's true," Xu Jixin, as the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, is under no less pressure than Ma Chengkun. Now he seems to be freed from hell. He said, "The response to "Xun Qin Ji" was surprisingly good. The newspaper was sold out in less than three hours.
, hundreds of readers called to ask about the novel."
"Is "Looking for Qin" really that easy to sell?" Ma Chengkun asked suspiciously. He just glanced at it a few times and didn't look at it carefully.
"It's definitely easy to sell. Readers have never seen this kind of time-traveling martial arts novel before. They will be attracted after reading only a few hundred words!" Xu Jixin nodded.
Before Xu Jixin finished speaking, Yao Guangzhen, the manager of the circulation department, rushed in excitedly: "Chairman, the newspaper is a big seller! I have notified the printing factory and asked them to print an additional 3,000 copies today and 120,000 copies tomorrow!
"
…………
…………
On the second day after "Looking for Qin Ji" was serialized, female secretary Ali came to Ma Chengkun's office and reported excitedly: "Boss, all 120,000 newspapers today have been sold out. Manager Yao from the circulation department wants to directly print 5,000 more copies.
Is it feasible to print 140,000 copies directly tomorrow?"
"All 120,000 copies have been sold out?" Ma Chengkun was extremely surprised. He walked around excitedly, as if he wanted to let out the depression that had been suppressed in his heart for the past year. He kept rubbing his hands and said to himself: "It's really great.
,That's great……"
After being excited for a long time, Ma Chengkun said: "It's a meeting, Ali. You call the heads of each department to come over for a meeting right away!"
The bosses of "Oriental Daily" soon gathered in the conference room. Ma Chengkun stood up and clapped his hands and said: "Everyone, before the meeting, let us applaud Editor-in-Chief Xu. It is he who recognizes heroes with his sharp eyes and discovered a good book."
The novel has boosted the overall sales of the newspaper. Thanks to Editor-in-Chief Xu for his contribution to Oriental Daily!"
"Pa bang bang..."
There was a burst of thunderous applause. Most of the people present were old employees of "Oriental Daily". In the past two years, the two founders of the newspaper had committed crimes and ran away. "Oriental Daily" was about to collapse, and many employees resigned.
, those who remain are those who are sincere to the newspaper.
Everyone has been working under tremendous pressure for a year, and now that newspaper sales are on the rise again, they are naturally in a good mood, and everyone heartily applauds Xu Ji's new newspaper.
After the applause, Ma Chengkun said: "Colleagues from each department, please talk about their respective situations."
Yao Guangzhen, the manager of the circulation department, first spoke: "Since "Xun Qin Ji" was serialized, newspaper sales have increased by 8,000 copies on the first day, and there will be an increase of at least 9,000 copies today. Judging from the market response, I think we should be bolder tomorrow.
Directly print 140,000 newspapers!”
Ma Chengkun nodded and said: "Very good, 140,000 copies will be printed tomorrow. The distribution department must keep an eye on the market's feedback information."
"Let me talk about the situation in the advertising department," Ma Tingqiang spoke for the second time. He is Ma Chengkun's cousin and the future husband of the female star Li Zi in Parallel Space. "Due to the surge in newspaper sales in the past two days, the advertising department has only
This morning we received 4 new advertising orders. If newspaper sales continue to surge tomorrow, I suggest increasing the advertising price and restoring the advertising price of "Oriental Daily" to the previous price."
"Okay, okay!" Ma Chengkun said repeatedly. At this time, he couldn't find any other words to express his happiness except "good". Sales and advertising are the lifeblood of a newspaper, reported by Yao Guangzhen and Ma Tingqiang.
The news actually announced that "Oriental Daily" has become glorious again.
Xu Jixin suddenly said: "Chairman, I want to explain a situation to everyone here. Before speaking, I must first review my negligence."
Ma Chengkun was in a happy mood and said with a smile: "Chief Editor Xu, as long as you don't kidnap the Hong Kong Governor, everyone will help you with other matters."
Xu Jixin said: "Chairman, we must now stabilize Kang Jianfei, the author of "Looking for Qin Ji". According to the manuscript contract signed that day, the royalties must be renegotiated in the second week of the serialization of the novel. If the royalties cannot be negotiated, he can always change the royalties to "Xun Qin Ji".
"Looking for Qin Ji" will be published in other newspapers."
"What?" Ma Chengkun's face changed and he scolded, "Why are you so confused? You had to trap him from the beginning!"
Xu Jixin smiled bitterly and said: "That guy is very difficult to talk to. He compares himself with Ni Jiaxing as soon as he comes. How could I agree to give him such a high royalties? At that time, I only thought that "Xun Qin Ji" might sell well, but I never expected that it would be so
Sensation? Now the whole of Hong Kong is talking about this novel."
"Contact him quickly. No matter how high the manuscript fee is, we must keep him." Ma Chengkun forced himself to calm down from the excitement and said, "A novel can bring a newspaper back to life in just two days."
In a short period of time, "Looking for Qin Ji" has increased the sales of "Oriental Daily" by 20,000 copies, which is already comparable to that of Jin Yong and Ni Ji. We must not let this person go!"
Xu Jixin said awkwardly: "Actually, I wanted to contact him yesterday, but Kang Jianfei didn't leave an address or a phone number. I really couldn't find anyone, so I had to wait for him to come to the door."
"You... are so confused!" Ma Chengkun wanted to kick Xu Jixin out.
…………
…………
Six days after "Looking for Qin Ji" was serialized in "Oriental Daily", with the climax of the novel's plot approaching, the newspaper's sales skyrocketed again, reaching 158,000 copies.
"Oriental Daily" once again topped the list of "Hong Kong Newspaper Sales Champion" through a time-travel martial arts novel, and the entire Hong Kong newspaper industry was shocked.
You know, the resurgence of the Wesley series six months ago only increased the sales of "Ming Pao" by more than 20,000 copies, but "Xunqin Ji" directly increased the sales of "Oriental Daily" from 102,000 copies.
To 158,000 copies!
Prior to this, the sales of "Oriental Daily" had been declining for more than a year, and it was about to decline.
One person saves and one repays!
Now the bosses of various newspapers are asking about Kang Jianfei, hoping to find this newly popular writer to write for him.
In Jin Yong's office, Pan Yuesheng, the editor-in-chief of Ming Pao, said with an ugly face: "Mr. Cha, it was my negligence this time. "Looking for Qin Ji" was originally submitted to Ming Pao first, and I didn't even read the manuscript.
They drove people away."
There was no trace of displeasure on Jin Yong's face, but instead he asked with a smile: "Why, that Kang Jianfei also read the manuscript to you?"
Pan Yuesheng said awkwardly: "Yes, I was about to go back to the editor-in-chief's office to review Ni Jiafang's manuscript. I only regarded Kang Jianfei as an ordinary new author. I felt that this person was too slippery, so I didn't read his manuscript and only glanced at it.
The name of the novel was "Looking for Qin". I didn't expect that this novel was so powerful that it actually overshadowed Wesley."
"It doesn't matter," Jin Yong waved his hand and said, ""Oriental Daily" follows the vulgar route, while "Ming Pao" has a much higher style. I have read the manuscript of "Xunqin Ji", and even if I had to do it over again, I would still
His manuscript will be rejected. Running a newspaper means running a newspaper, not publishing a novel journal. Adhering to the concept of running a newspaper is the long-term solution, and relying on novels to increase sales is only a temporary strategy."
Jin Yong, who had been calm just now when he sent Pan Yuesheng away, felt a trace of regret in his heart. If he had known that "Looking for Qin" was such a big hit, he would definitely open a new novel column for Kang Jianfei in the supplement, and then personally supervise the newspaper editor to
The meaty scenes in "Looking for Qin" were deleted.
Unfortunately, there is no use regretting it. Taking advantage of the popularity of "Looking for Qin", "Oriental Daily" has once again surpassed "Ming Pao" in sales.
