Chapter Eight
When it was dawn, Chen Qiang trotted all the way to Chen Ruji in Anli.
Although the benefits of time travelers are of no use, Chen Qiang still honestly received a 10,000-meter mission. Anyway, he had to run when selling newspapers, so it would be better to take advantage of this task to get points.
In the afternoon, the newspapers in Chen Qiang were almost sold out. At this time, he learned from a newsstand that a batch of outlines had been printed and should have been sent to major newspapers.
Outside the name refers to the newsprint temporarily issued by the newspaper when an emergency occurs. Since it will not be included in the original newspaper number, it is called "outside the name".
The information transmission during the Republic of China was not as developed as it is now. Now there is television, the Internet, and if you encounter any incidents, you will post on your Moments or Weibo, and others will soon know. But in 1929, none of these, and even radio is a rare thing.
At that time, the Central Radio Station of the Republic of China was established less than a year and only broadcasted 8 times a day, and the broadcast time was less than 5 hours a day. Most of the content was orders, announcements, publicity outlines, and reporting resolutions, which were more boring than listening to news. Thinking about it, the radio was like listening to the leader's speech at a meeting, which was absolutely hypnotic. So if you have insomnia at night, turn on the radio, listen to the radio, and you will fall asleep quickly.
It’s different now. I can’t sleep at night. Turn on the radio. The radio is full of programs like “xx night talk” and “xx emotions”. Either this person has broken up or that person is looking for a mistress. There are often medical advertisements for repairing his waist. What an exciting thing! The more I listen, the less I can’t sleep.
In old Shanghai, the most popular radio stations were broadcasted by Americans, such as XRO Radio, Xinfu Radio, Kailuo Radio, Meilingdeng Radio, Xihuamei Radio, etc.
The reason why American businessmen are very keen on opening radio stations is not to devote themselves to the radio industry, but to promote American-made radios.
Americans have always been asking for money when selling things, especially if you don’t know how to make them yourself, and selling them to you must be a sky-high price. Radios were very expensive at that time. In 1929, ordinary working-class people could not afford radios with little income. Even wealthy families had to grit their teeth and be ruthless to buy a radio, so "outsiders" were still the main means to spread breaking news.
The extrapolation of that era is roughly equivalent to the current live broadcast.
For Chen Qiang, a newspaper boy, every issue of the extracurricular means that he can earn a day's meal.
The content outside the number is less than that of ordinary newspapers, but the price is not cheap.
For example, in "Shenbao", a newspaper has six large pieces, which cost 4 cents, while a single piece of paper often only has one large piece, but it costs 3 cents. Sometimes, the number of papers that use 4-open large papers, but small papers that are 8-open small, and the price is still 3 cents. Some tabloids who have no conscience have to sell for 16-open papers, but they have to sell for the same price as the official ones.
If there is less paper or small paper, the printing cost will be reduced, but the selling price will be the same, which means that the profit will be higher. This is true for newspapers, newspaper dealers, and newspaper children. As a newspaper boy, if he can sell twenty copies of the book, he will make money before meals on this day, which is more profitable than selling newspapers.
So after learning that there was something out of the box, Chen Qiang immediately ran to Chen Ruji.
When Chen Qiang arrived at Chen Ruji, there were already many newspaper boys standing at the entrance of Chen Ruji's warehouse, and they all came to grab the extra account.
The reason why we use "grab" is mainly because there are more wolves and less meat.
The circulation volume of the outside world is definitely not comparable to that of the newspaper’s official magazine. For example, the official magazine of Shenbao has a circulation volume of about 50,000 copies in Shanghai, so even if you can print 5,000 copies outside world, it is a lot, but if you print too much, you will not be able to sell it.
For example, there were breaking news in the morning and the newspaper printed the outline. If it was too late to sell it in the evening, the evening newspaper would publish the same content. The evening newspaper had more content and the price was cheaper. Who would buy the outline at that time?
There are 5,000 outs and 30 outs and 30 outs and 200 outs and 200 outs and 200 outs and 200 outs and 200 outs and 200 outs and 200 outs and 200 outs and 200 outs and 200 outs and 200 outs and 200 outs and 200 outs and 200 outs and 200 outs and 200 outs and 200 outs and 200 outs and 200 outs and 200 outs and 200 outs and 200 outs and 200 outs and 200 outs and 200 outs and 200 outs and 200 outs and 200 outs and 200 outs and 200 outs and 200 outs and 200 outs and 200 outs and
...
In Chen Ruji's sorting warehouse, the workers had already divided the number out of the number, ten pieces in a stack, and then the boy came in and paid the money and delivered the goods in the same order.
Chen Qiang also mingled among the many newspaper boys and looked forward to it.
Suddenly, with a "sharp" sound, the door opened, and the newspaper boys rushed in like a flood that broke the dam, and then rushed into the sorting warehouse. This situation scared Chen Qiang.
"I want a stack!"
"Give me two stacks!"
"The money is here, give it to me!"
In a blink of an eye, the dozens of stacks of numbers were divided into pieces. When Chen Qiang squeezed in front, he found that he was empty in front of him.
It's late and sold out. Chen Qiang didn't get this batch of extras!
"I made two cents less!" Chen Qiang patted his head in annoyance. If he could have rushed faster just now, he would definitely be able to grab two stacks of extras. It would be no problem to make more than two cents.
"If I could make 20 cents more today, I would at least be willing to eat meat buns for dinner!" Chen Qiang sighed silently in his heart.
When Chen Qiang thought of the meat bun, he suddenly felt a little greedy.
The famous professor of the sports university in the past had been tired of eating meat and wanted to eat vegetarian food in different ways.
Now that there has been no meat and fish for only three days, Chen Qiang can't stand it anymore.
On the way home, Chen Qiang was thinking about how to get the extra charge.
"Now is a turbulent time. In the future, extrapolation is bound to be indispensable. You must find a way to grab extrapolation."
"The reason why I didn't grab it today was that I ran a little slower. From the door to the warehouse, it was only a distance of 60 or 70 meters. If I rushed over at a speed of 100 meters, I would definitely be able to run in the front and I would be able to grab the extracurricular."
"Hundred-meter sprint? By the way, there is a way. Don't I have a training space? I can practice it in it. I will practice the 100-meter sprint tonight!"
...
Before the sun could set, Chen Qiang started to sleep. He had to sleep for ten hours, that is, practice 100 hours of 100-meter sprint.
During the day, Chen Qiang completed two more 1,000-meter tasks and obtained 200 points. This is enough for Chen Qiang to rent the track and field field in the training space.
When Chen Qiang entered that training space, he saw new words appearing on his head:
A total of 42.195 kilometers of running have been completed and new tasks have been unlocked.
New task, complete a full marathon, task time, 24 hours, task reward, 500 points.
Chen Qiang showed such an expression.
"You can also unlock new tasks! The length of the whole marathon is indeed 42.195 kilometers. It seems that I have completed 42.195 kilometers in the past two days, so I unlocked the task of the full marathon. The completion time this time is limited, it is 24 hours, and it is not difficult to complete a full marathon within 24 hours."
"The reward points for this task are 500, which is higher than the previous 10,000-meter mission. If you take on a 10,000-meter mission, it will take five times, that is, running 50 kilometers to get 500 points. If you take on this marathon mission, you can get 500 points by running 8 kilometers less. Is this a discount for buying it?"
"It's just that this marathon task consumes more physical strength. With 24 hours of time, the more difficult the task is. It seems that the more difficult the task is, the more points you will get."
Chen Qiang thought about it carefully and felt that there was no need to take on this task now because he could not run 42 kilometers a day.
"I can sell out the newspapers if I run more than 20 kilometers every day. Even if I go to grab the number, it will only run 30 kilometers at most, and it is still far from the 42 kilometers marathon. In this case, it is better to get three 10,000 meters and 100 points missions."
Then Chen Qiang walked to the track and field.
Chen Qiang practiced sprinting when he was young. In fact, many domestic athletes start with sprinting, after all, this is an entry-level sports.
Chen Qiangxian hired an hour-long junior track and field coach. According to his professional judgment, the level of this junior track and field coach is similar to that of a high school physical education teacher, and he can train ordinary high school students into amateur athletes.
随后陈强又雇佣了中级田径教练.
This intermediate track and field coach has reached the level of training professional athletes. Chen Qiang feels that his training attainments in sprinting should be no less than this intermediate track and field coach, and Chen Qiang is even better in terms of theoretical knowledge.
After becoming a professor at the University of Sports, Chen Qiang has been focusing on the research on sports theory. Whether it is training or competition, Chen Qiang is a theoretical person. In addition, he has not worked in front-line training positions for many years, so his actual training level has deteriorated. However, his years of theoretical work has given him a deep knowledge reserve in sports theory.
Chen Qiang hired another hour of senior track and field coach.
Senior track and field coaches have a worse theoretical knowledge than Chen Qiang, and in terms of actual training, senior track and field coaches are much better than Chen Qiang.
According to Chen Qiang's judgment, the ability of this senior track and field coach is enough to train high-level track and field athletes.
Senior track and field coaches need to consume 5 points per hour. Chen Qiang doesn't have many points, so he dare not hire coaches for a long time. Moreover, with Chen Qiang's current body, the 100-meter sprint cannot even meet the amateur standard. If you ask a junior track and field coach to train, it is better than Chen Qiang, a professor at the sports university, to train himself.
...
Chen Qiang has always been addicted to the training space.
No words all night.
The next day, when Chen Qiang woke up again, he had completed 100 hours of 100-meter sprint exercises.
"I practiced 100 hours of sprinting, but I don't believe that I can't get the extra charge today!"
Chen Qiang rushed to Chen Ruji with confidence.
