Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Although Lin Daoqiu didn't want to make "Readers Times" too high-profile at this time, since the top management had already been recruited, it would be unreasonable not to hold a press conference.

And no matter how cautious you are, those people from the five major newspapers will not give up suppressing you because of you.

So on the seventh day after Gao Qiaoshan and others took office, Lin Daoqiu held a grand media press conference at the Neon Empire Hotel.

Before the press conference, Lin Daoqiu had already released some relevant information, but what is interesting is that this time there were quite a few foreign media who came to the press conference, including Xiangjiang who also sent many reporters to Neon.

However, there were only a few local journalists from Nihong who came to this press conference. Two of the five major newspapers came, and the other three didn't send people at all. Of course, "Daily News" was among them.

Lin Daoqiu and others are not surprised by such a situation. After all, it is difficult to reach a settlement between "Readers Times" and the five major newspapers. any impact.

In order to express his support for "Reader Times", Lin Daoqiu specially appeared on the scene to cheer Gao Qiao Shanshang and others.

However, he did not go on stage, but sat in the audience, and handed over the leadership of this media conference to Gao Qiaoshan and others.

"Dear guests at the scene, colleagues at home and abroad, hello, everyone, I am the editor-in-chief of "Readers Times", Takahashi Shanshang, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to participate in our media press conference..."

As the editor-in-chief of "Reader Times", Takahashi Shanshang is the protagonist of today's press conference.

It seems that Gaoqiaoshan looks radiant today. He has not appeared in front of the public for a long time. Few people know that he is actually the former editor-in-chief of "Daily News".

Takahashi Shanshang thanked the guests and colleagues present on stage, and then talked about some things before and after the establishment of "Readers Times", and then Tatsuya Furuhashi and the deputy editor-in-chief said a few words, but everyone From the beginning to the end, I didn't talk about any interesting news, and the whole process was quite satisfactory.

In the end, Lin Daoqiu took the stage to deliver a speech, announcing the official establishment of the "Readers Times" branch in Neon, and this media press conference officially ended.

It stands to reason that after the press conference, there should be a celebration banquet, but Lin Daoqiu and others did not go directly to a high-end restaurant to eat, but returned directly to the headquarters of "Reader Times".

In fact, Lin Daoqiu originally planned to have a good meal with Gao Qiaoshan and the others to encourage them, but Lin Daoqiu's proposal was declined by Gao Qiaoshan and others.

Moreover, they not only declined Lin Daoqiu's proposal, but also invited Lin Daoqiu to the headquarters of "Reader Times", which seemed to be a posture to discuss business.

"There is no need to be in a hurry. After all, "Readers Times" has just been established, and there are many things that need to be sorted out. The most important thing for us now is to gain a firm foothold in Neon."

Lin Daoqiu sat on the main seat in the meeting room, looked at Gaoqiaoshan below and said to others.

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Gao Qiaoshan looked at the other party seriously.

"Mr. Lin, if we publish a publication or a newspaper now, how many copies do you think we can sell?"

It is impossible for Lin Daoqiu to answer the question raised by Gaoqiao Mountain accurately, because it is impossible for "Readers Times" to have any readers in Neon.

And even if someone buys it, I'm afraid it's just some readers who are willing to try something new, and it doesn't mean that they will become loyal readers of "Readers Times".

"Not too many, there should be several hundred copies."

Lin Daoqiu believes that no matter what happens, if the "Readers Times" is really sold in Neon, at least the daily sales volume will definitely exceed several hundred copies, but this level of sales is basically equal to "Readers Times". I can't remember it, so it doesn't make any sense to Lin Daoqiu.

"Since Mr. Lin is also aware of this, I hope that the acquisition can be done in advance, otherwise we are just wasting time sitting in the newspaper office doing nothing like this every day."

If "Readers Times" wants to quickly acquire a large number of readers in Neon, the only way is to spend money to acquire other newspapers and magazines, so that they can bring their readers together. Only in this way can "Readers Times" "acquired a large number of readers in neon in the shortest time.

If Lin Daoqiu planned to start "Readers Times" from scratch, it would be very difficult for Gao Qiaoshan and others, and they would not be able to accompany Lin Daoqiu to slowly develop a newspaper like this.

"Before this, I have asked people to investigate the newspapers and magazines that can be acquired, but you should also know that the local situation of Neon is very complicated, and our target is some medium-sized newspapers and magazines. It will take time to come down.”

Magazines and newspapers that are on the rise not only need to spend a lot of money if they want to buy them as soon as possible, but they may not be willing to sell them to you.

Those who are willing to conclude a deal immediately are newspaper offices that are unable to make ends meet or are about to close down. The purchase of such newspaper offices will not have much effect on "Readers Times", so Lin Daoqiu did not plan to cast a wide net at the beginning, but It is to list a group of high-quality newspapers and magazines for acquisition negotiations.

"There are a total of ten medium-sized magazines and newspapers on the list I listed. If all of them can be acquired smoothly, "Readers Times" knows that the daily sales volume is conservatively estimated to reach [-] copies."

The conservative estimate mentioned by Lin Daoqiu refers to the most ideal possibility, but basically this possibility is impossible to exist.

Because once the "Readers Times" bought those newspapers and magazines, some of the original readers would definitely be lost, which made their original daily sales less accurate.

Under such circumstances, if you want to retain the original readers and continue to expand more new readers, it depends on the quality of the newspapers and magazines themselves.

"I hope that within a month, "Readers Times" will be able to publish the first issue of the founding newspaper and publication."

Looking at Lin Daoqiu from Gaoqiao Mountain, he said with a straight face, this is his request to Lin Daoqiu, and it is also his personal hope.

"Within one month? Well... if everything goes well, it should be possible, and you should also be prepared. After all, the progress of the negotiation may be advanced or delayed. All of this is uncertain. I can't give an exact answer right now."
