Shi Zhijian would not be deceived by Jin Yong’s scholarly appearance.
It is true that Boss Jin Yong is a good martial arts master, but he is also a shrewd businessman.
Even if he doesn't speak out about such a bad trick now, Mingpao will continue to follow this path in the future.
There is no other way. In order to survive, everyone must show their talents.
Until Ming Pao truly establishes its foothold and no longer needs to use these kitsch articles to sensationalize and compete for traffic, will it be able to truly establish the high-level status of this newspaper, and that will have to wait almost thirty years.
Finally, according to the agreement between Shi Zhijian and Jin Yong, if "Ming Pao"'s new "Ming Pao Weekly", that is, "Ming Pao Entertainment Edition", can increase Ming Pao's sales in the industry and defeat "Sing Tao", Jin Yong and
Shi Zhijian’s Shinhwa Company establishes “strategic partnership”.
In the future, Shi Zhijian's soda instant noodles can be advertised in Ming Pao at a 50% discount. Ming Pao fully supports any activities of Shinhwa Company and resolutely resists publishing any negative news about Shinhwa Company.
In turn, Shinhwa also fully supports Ming Pao, including sponsoring soda noodles for various Ming Pao activities, encouraging all employees to subscribe to Ming Pao newspapers, etc.
Shi Zhijian was very satisfied with this trip to Mingbao.
First of all, it magnified the conflict between Zou Wenhuai and Shaw Brothers, causing Zou Wenhuai and Shao Daheng to completely break up, without even the slightest chance of reconciliation.
Secondly, through this cooperation, I gained access to Mingpao, an important news media, and had friendly contact with Jin Yong.
In the end, Shi Zhijian’s bad article was actually sold! The article of less than 3,000 words sold for 3,000 yuan.
In total, it's a thousand words, which is thirty times higher than Ni Jiang, who considers himself to be the best in the world in manuscript remuneration!
For Shi Zhijian, although the three thousand yuan is a drop in the bucket, it is also a life-saving straw because he is so short of money!
…
The next day, early morning——
Wan Chai Street——
An Indian Asan on the night shift, with his head wrapped in a tall cloth and a bright red uniform, holding a long gun and yawning, guarded his post at the door of the building.
The two patrol officers patrolled the streets boredly, occasionally finding a place to have a cigarette and be lazy.
On the deserted streets, only people from the morning market were selling vegetables and breakfast. In addition, there were cleaners cleaning the streets, and small vendors setting up stalls on the roadside to buy and sell morning newspapers.
In Hong Kong in this era, newspapers and magazines are definitely the main media for people to receive information from the outside world. Therefore, both office workers and wealthy people like to read newspapers while eating breakfast or taking rickshaws, buses, or private cars.
By reading the morning paper, you can learn the hottest news of the day and know the gossip that others don't know. Therefore, the morning paper has the best sales among all major types of newspapers and magazines.
In order to sell more newspapers and make more money, these small newspaper vendors will get up very early, first go to the printing factory that distributes newspapers and periodicals to pick up the goods, and then take them to their own stalls to sell them.
Don't underestimate this small business. A newspaper costs two cents and can be sold for five cents, which is double the profit.
If business is good, you can earn ten yuan by selling two hundred newspapers a day, which is three hundred yuan a month, making more than an office worker!
If you can't sell all the newspapers, you can sell them to those who make rice noodles and sausages at a low price and let them use them to make packing paper, or sell them directly to a waste paper collection point. This way you can recover some of your capital.
now--
The owner of the newsstand, "Lame Dragon", was flipping through the newspapers with his fingers wet with saliva. He would read through the newspaper in general to see which newspaper had breaking news so that he could place it in a conspicuous place as today's "number one"
.
Soon, the lame dragon was attracted by a piece of news in a new newspaper.
He looked through it carefully, but it was a new supplement for "Ming Pao" whose sales had plummeted during this period.
Everyone knows that Ming Pao can't beat Sing Tao, especially when he was beaten by Sing Tao yesterday. Unexpectedly, a supplement will be published today, and I don't know what the content is.
"The real-life version of "Swordsman"! What Zou Wenhuai and Shao Daheng have to tell about the Silver Sea story!"
The headline on the front page is quite eye-catching. If you look further down the page, you will be baptized into the lame dragon’s three views!
"Zou Wenhuai, the god of war, returns? He found his wife carrying pigs in the market and his daughter living in a doghouse. With a roar, three thousand soldiers of the Shaw family defected with him..."
Even if the lame dragon is not highly educated, it still almost spits out a mouthful of old blood!
"Isn't this too well made up?"
In the past, Lame Long was not optimistic about this new type of newspaper. After all, it had not been tested by the market, and it was still unknown whether it would sell well. However, after reading such a bloody article, for some reason, a feeling surged in his heart.
An indescribable feeling of comfort.
In the past, he also liked to read some articles that made people feel happy. It felt like fishing, one after another, but the feeling of this article is different, instead, the big fish are pushing towards you one after another! It's very
So cool!
So Lame Dragon made a very bold decision, "Give me three hundred copies of this newspaper!"
It was the first time that these colleagues saw Lame Dragon being so bold. He used to only order fifty copies of each newspaper, and the highest was only one hundred copies. Now he ordered three hundred copies. Are you crazy?
"Lame Dragon, are you mentally ill?"
"Yeah, be careful of the rice rolls when ordering so many newspapers!"
The lame dragon ignored the people who laughed at him and silently put away the three hundred newspapers.
Sometimes a man wants to take a gamble. He bets that this newspaper will become a big hit.
…
over time--
There are more and more people working on the street, and the market has become lively.
"Give me a newspaper!"
"Do you have any good introductions?"
The small vendors who make a living by selling newspapers have also begun their busiest work of the day.
Collect the money, change it, fold the newspaper and hand it over.
But soon, other newsstand vendors discovered that Lame Long's business was particularly good, especially the Ming Pao Supplement, which he purchased the most, was the hottest.
how so?
So the curious person couldn't help but get a copy of this newspaper and read it, and then——
Three views exploded!
Return of the God of War?
Wife carries a pig?
I also understand why so many customers buy this newspaper——
There is no doubt that this news will explode in Hong Kong soon!
In addition, what everyone is more curious about is——
Who are the signed authors "A Fei" and "A Lu"?!
…
"Did you read it? It turns out that Zou Wenhuai was excluded from Shaw Brothers!"
"Look, it turns out that Zhou Duwen is practicing "Sunflower Collection"!"
"Yeah, no wonder I always feel like he's neither a boy nor a girl!"
"Hey, boss, did you read today's newspaper? The one about Zou Wen carrying a pig!"
"I saw it, it's so exciting. I didn't expect it to be so dark inside Shaw Brothers!"
"Yes, no wonder Mr. Zou defected to Shaw Brothers!"
People are just so weird, the weirder things are, the easier it is to arouse their interest.
This shoddy and super vulgar article written by Shi Zhijian instantly detonated the market and spread rumors, so "Zou Wen Huaibei Pig" became the highlight of the day.
