Chapter 315 Daqin Daily
The news of Li Wen's acquisition of Minghua Daily only spread within the industry for a day. The next day, several small newspapers picked Li Wen out and put it on the headlines in order to gain attention.
"A mainland boy bought a newspaper within half a month of coming to Hong Kong!"
"Underworld student author acquires Minghua Daily!"
The headlines of several newspapers were in large fonts, but there was no real news and they were quickly lost in time.
There has been no movement in the past few days since Daqin Daily was first listed. It still published the original content of Minghua Daily, which caused ridicule in the industry.
Li Wen read a few tabloid reviews, smiled disdainfully, and threw the newspaper directly into the trash can.
Yesterday I contacted the China News Agency's office in Hong Kong through Huang Bo from China Resources. He is going to see the president of China News Agency today.
At this time, the president of China News Service was a great figure, and China News Service was not a simple news organization.
In addition to its own media work, China News Service also serves as the Hong Kong Liaison Office.
However, after all, Xiangdao belongs to Daxia, so naturally it cannot set up an embassy, so the Hua Xin News Agency fulfilled this responsibility.
As soon as Li Wen and Huang Bo entered the door of Huaxin News Agency, they were led by the receptionist to a middle-aged man sitting in the lobby.
"President Cui, I'm so flattered! Could you please wait in person?" Huang Bo knew the president of Huaxin News Agency and hurried forward to shake hands.
Li Wen saw that the middle-aged man in his fifties in front of him was actually the president of the Hua Xin News Agency in Hong Kong, and he hurried forward to greet him.
"Xiao Huang! You really can't change your businessmanlike attitude no matter where you go.
You should learn from Comrade Li, neither humble nor arrogant, you look like a good man in Daxia." President Cui said with a smile.
"President Cui, the responsibility of being a good man in Daxia is too heavy. You can't take it. You can't take it." Li Wen quickly waved his hand. This sentence had some weight, and he didn't dare to bear it.
"Come on, let's go in. There are so many people coming and going here, it's inconvenient." President Cui didn't reply to Li Wen's words and stood up with a smile.
"Xiao Li, I didn't expect that you have achieved such achievements in just over half a month since you came to Hong Kong. I would like to congratulate you on behalf of the country.
Xiao Huang told me your problem yesterday, and you are still the first person who dares to cooperate with us.
However, I would like to advise you that if you do this, you will easily be attacked by the right-wing people in Hong Kong Island, and you will be disliked by the Hong Kong Island government." President Cui said in a profound tone.
President Cui was worried that Li Wen was young and did not know the importance of the situation, so he wanted to persuade Li Wen to give up cooperating with them.
"President Cui, I am a descendant of Daxia. If I am not even close to my own motherland, why should I run a newspaper?
My original intention of running the newspaper was to make money and become famous, but I also had another purpose, which was to present Daxia objectively and fairly to the people of Hong Kong and the world.
Recently, Mr. Jin Yong published the column "Looking North to China", which objectively explained the affairs of the mainland and gave the people of Hong Kong a little understanding of the mainland. I feel very good.
Our Daqin Daily also wants to run a Lion’s Awakening column. In addition to daily news and novels, we also need to more objectively present the voice of Daxia to the people of Hong Kong and the world." Li Wen said firmly.
"Okay, good point."
President Cui slapped his thigh suddenly and praised loudly.
"Since Xiao Li has a patriotic heart, the country will definitely support him. From now on, you will send someone to China News Service to pick up articles every day. I am sure about this."
But I hope Daqin Daily will be impartial and fair when publishing articles, otherwise I won’t be able to spare you." President Cui said seriously after agreeing.
"President Cui, don't worry about this. As long as the manuscript involves mainland China, I will have someone specially send it for review when it is published." Li Wen quickly promised.
Hearing Li Wen's words, President Cui smiled and nodded. Public opinion was a major matter, and there was no room for carelessness, and he did not dare to take risks.
After leaving Huaxin News Agency, Li Wen immediately informed Daqin Daily to start operations.
In recent days, Daqin Daily has hired more than 50 employees, mainly from the printing factory.
After nearly a week of running-in, the new and old employees of Daqin Daily have all cooperated very well, and Li Wen has officially started his journey to become a media tycoon.
"Wei Sheng, this novel The Romance of Dragon and Snake will be serialized, with 20,000 words per day for the readers of Xiangdao to read enough." Li Wen threw out a thick piece of manuscript paper from his arms.
"Ah! Mr. Li, 20,000 words a day is too much. I can't even fit four pages of the newspaper." Wei Guangping opened his mouth in shock.
"Forehead!"
"What's the maximum number of words that can be serialized in one page of a newspaper? Let's use the maximum number." Li Wen was stunned when he heard this.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Jin Yong's serialization of Tian Long Ba Bu only has a maximum of two thousand words per day. Why don't we write it at four thousand words!"
Too much serialization is too cheap for those bad guys. If you serialize less, you can get more business." Wei Guangping suggested with a smile.
“Our Daqin Daily has just been established, and only with large quantities and adequate management can we attract people.
In this way, the two pages on the front every day are news, and the two pages on the back are all serialized novels. I have written more than two million words for this novel, which is enough for several years." Li Wen said directly.
When Wei Guangping heard that the novel had more than two million words, he agreed with Li Wen that only large quantities and sufficient control can attract people.
"Mr. Li, how many newspapers should we print on the first day?" Wei Guangping asked.
"Well, how many newspapers can the printing factory print at a time?" Li Wen asked directly.
"Mr. Li has purchased enough machines and the maximum output has reached 200,000 copies.
However, many employees are newly recruited, and now we can print up to 160,000 copies at a time." Wei Guangping said carefully.
Li Wen also didn't expect Wei Guangping to be so fast, increasing production in just one week.
"Then we will print 160,000 copies. This time our Daqin Daily will be a blockbuster and slap our peers in the face who look down upon us." Li Wen suddenly stood up and said.
When Wei Guangping went out to tell all the employees the news, the company immediately exploded with the news in 160,000 newspapers.
That night, the news was learned by the paparazzi of all newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong. All newspapers and magazines were amused by Li Wen's suicide behavior.
As everyone knows, this is a wave of free advertising that Li Wen asked them to advertise. As long as these newspapers are published tomorrow, it will immediately arouse the curiosity of countless people in Hong Kong Island.
As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat. As long as people are curious, the Chinese martial arts, which are different from traditional martial arts, will touch the readers' heartstrings.
You must know that there are thousands of martial arts schools in Hong Kong in this era, and the release of "The Story of Dragon and Snake" will definitely detonate the market.
Li Wen did not go back that night, but slept in the office of Daqin Daily.
Recently, Li Wen also emptied his accumulated wealth in order to found Daqin Daily, and even secretly sold 100,000 Hong Kong dollars in gold to increase investment.
In the newspaper industry, everyone works at night, and today Daqin Daily can be said to have gone all out. All newspapers are purchased first and then settled after they are sold.
The consequence of this is that regardless of whether it can be sold or not, we should first stock up on goods.
After all, these newspaper guys are not blind. When they were purchasing goods, Daqin Daily showed everyone the serialized novels.
Most of the newspaper guys were fans of novels, and they got into it as soon as they saw it. There were even a few who knew some martial arts, and they even started gesticulating when they saw the fun.
"Bald man, this novel is very sharp! It makes your blood boil when you read it, and the chill of the night is gone." A newspaper man who was crouching in line said to the bald man in front of him.
Chapter completed!
