Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 5 Daily Star
Every industry has barriers.

After leaving Ming Pao, Lin Baicheng went to other small and medium newspapers to look for opportunities.

However, the situation was worse than that of Ming Pao. At least he met an editor at Ming Pao, Lin Baicheng, and he didn't even meet anyone in many newspapers.

There are now fifty or sixty newspapers in Xiangjiang, and there are many small and medium newspapers. These newspapers are willing to serialize novels, especially martial arts novels.

However, when the people in the newspaper found out that the novel was written by Lin Baicheng, a young man who had never even gone to college, they shook their heads and refused, saying that it was impossible for them to take the risk of serializing novels written by children. Obviously, they did not believe Lin Baicheng at all. What good novels young people can write.

Even if Lin Baicheng asked them to browse the novel, most of them said they didn't have time, or they wouldn't make an exception, etc.

There were only two editors who probably browsed the beginning of the novel, but after finding out that Lin Baicheng's writing style was not very good, they just asked Lin Baicheng to leave a manuscript and contact information, saying that he would read it carefully when he had time, and would wait for the newspaper to serialize it. contact him.

Faced with this situation, Lin Baicheng could only leave regretfully. Obviously, the other party didn't pay much attention to his novel, and it didn't make much sense to leave the manuscript.The most important thing is that he only has one manuscript, and he will not keep the manuscript without a clear answer.

I ran like this for two days, and ran to more than a dozen small and medium-sized newspaper offices.Not to mention those who liked his novels, even Lin Baicheng, the editor of the newspaper, hadn't seen many of them.

Faced with this situation, Lin Baicheng had no choice but to continue writing novels, while contacting the newspaper offices according to the phone numbers left by the newspaper offices in various newspapers, and stopped running out all day.

Lin Baicheng will definitely continue to write the novel, but if he still can't find a newspaper to serialize it after the novel is finished, then he can only regretfully give up the method of getting the first pot of money by writing novels and find another opportunity.

The first pot of gold is definitely needed, but Lin Baicheng will not be hanged on a rope, how can a living person be suffocated to death by urine.

The worst case scenario, in Lin Baicheng's opinion, is that he spends a year or two working part-time, saves enough HK$[-], and asks for some more from his family, so that he will have the first pot of gold.

However, this method is time-consuming, and it is not cost-effective for Lin Baicheng who thinks that this era is full of gold.

The sooner the first pot of gold, and the more the first pot of gold, the sooner Lin Baicheng can make a fortune and accumulate more capital to do great things.

The family members were not surprised when they knew that Lin Baicheng's serialization of the novel was not going well, but they didn't tell him to stop thinking about it, but let him do it.

From the perspective of Lin's father and Lin's mother, after half a month and a month, Lin Baicheng will naturally give up the unrealistic idea of ​​writing a novel, and then they will arrange things for Lin Baicheng to do.

……

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past few days, several newspapers are still willing to meet Lin Baicheng and read Lin Baicheng's novels when they know about Lin Baicheng.

These are a few tabloid newspapers who are willing to read Lin Baicheng's novel out of the idea of ​​trying their luck. It is because a popular novel is too important to the circulation of a newspaper, especially for some tabloids.

It's just a pity that none of these newspapers took a fancy to Lin Baicheng's novel at the first time, but they all thought it was okay and asked Lin Baicheng to keep a manuscript, but it was a pity that Lin Baicheng had no way to keep the manuscript.

Fortunately, two newspapers may really think that Lin Baicheng's novels are good. After learning that Lin Baicheng is writing novels every day and is going to finish the novel, they asked Lin Baicheng to come to the door after finishing writing. Read the entire novel carefully and decide whether to serialize it or not.

It can be said that Lin Baicheng barely left a way out, and there is some hope that the novel can be serialized in newspapers.

But even so, Lin Baicheng still contacted the tabloids every day, after all, the sooner the novel can be serialized, the better.

On this day, Lin Baicheng made an appointment with the editor of Star Daily to meet at his door.

Xingxing Daily is also a small newspaper, but Lin Baicheng was a little puzzled. When contacted by phone, the other party said on the phone that as long as the novel is not too bad, he is willing to serialize it. However, the situation of the newspaper is a bit complicated, and some things need to be discussed in detail. .

Lin Baicheng was very puzzled why the other party was willing to serialize the novel so easily. It was really unrealistic, otherwise he would not have to wait more than a week before the novel was serialized in the newspaper.

But doubts belong to doubts, and he didn't ask any more questions based on the idea that he would know after meeting.

At around 02:30 in the afternoon, Lin Baicheng arrived at Star Daily.

Xingxing Daily is the smallest newspaper office that Lin Baicheng has seen recently, with only five employees, only one office, and a small private office unique to the editor-in-chief.

The editor-in-chief of Xingxing Daily is Hu Zhiwen, a middle-aged man in his 40s, wearing a pair of glasses, and looks gentle.

Hu Zhiwen entertained Lin Baicheng in his office.

"Lin Sheng, did you bring the novel?"

After the two were polite, Hu Zhiwen got straight to the point.

"Brought it."

Lin Baicheng patted his shoulder bag, did not take out the novel, but asked: "Editor Hu, when we contacted you in the morning, you said that as long as the level of the novel is not too bad, you can read my novel. Why are you willing to serialize my novels?"

"The situation is like this. I want to start from the beginning. It may take a long time. I hope you don't mind, Lin Sheng."

Regarding Lin Baicheng's question, Hu Zhiwen was not surprised. Anyway, even if Lin Baicheng didn't ask him, he would have to talk about it later.

"This Xingxing Daily actually belongs to me. I am not only the owner of this newspaper, but also the editor-in-chief of the newspaper."

"Our place in Xiangjiang is not big, but it has a large population, so there are also many newspaper offices, at least fifty or sixty. In addition to a few big newspaper offices, there are more small newspaper offices like Xingxing Daily, so the competition Big, hard to survive."

"The Xingxing Daily has only been established for two years. As of last September, the daily circulation of the Xingxing Daily is generally only about [-] copies. Although it doesn't make much money, it still has some income."

"But after September, the newspaper couldn't compete with other newspapers, so the daily circulation continued to decrease, and it fell below [-] copies in December. In this case, the newspaper will lose money, because the daily circulation is getting higher and lower. The less, the less advertising revenue that matters most.”

"Therefore, the daily circulation of the newspaper cannot fall below [-] copies, otherwise the advertising revenue will only decrease, and the loss of the newspaper will only increase. Therefore, in order to maintain the sales volume of the newspaper, I can only choose to reduce the number of copies per month. The price of a newspaper can be used to maintain the sales of newspapers.”

"But in this case, the newspaper office is actually operating at a loss. Unless the daily circulation of the newspaper office can be increased, the newspaper office will lose money every day."
