I am many years in the courtyard

Chapter 409, sales exploded!
Damn it, these two shit sticks are so abominable!
In the office, Shen Baoxin was furious and furious, which scared the employees outside and trembled.

Ming Pao has two founders. One is Mr. Jin Dacha, who is mainly responsible for the text review of Ming Pao.

The other one is Shen Xinbao, who holds 20.00% of Ming Pao shares. He is mainly responsible for Ming Pao's sales.

Nowadays, Ming Pao has been defeated in just one day, and its sales have dropped by [-] copies of the newspaper, which is terrible.

This is definitely the biggest disastrous moment since Ming Pao was founded.

It’s incredible!
Compared to the furious Shen Baoxin, although Jin Dada was quite angry, he was still calm.

He even persuaded Shen Baoxin not to be so angry as it could easily harm his body.

Even so, Shen Xinbao was still angry.

Several newspapers such as Sing Tao Daily and Sing Pao were all affected to varying degrees and were equally angry.

If New Economic Daily and Zhongyong Daily only maintain free delivery for three days, newspapers like Chengbao and others will definitely resort to tricks.

In the blink of an eye, it’s the next day, and today is also the last day for the two newspapers, New Economic Daily and Zhongyong Daily, to distribute newspapers for free.

After today is over, tomorrow will be the highlight.

For many years, he has appeared in the editor-in-chief’s office of New Economic Daily, followed by Huang Sicheng.

"Boss, Mr. Huang, you are here, please take a seat. Boss, do you want tea or coffee?"

Shu Ming quickly stood up to greet him, then gave up and motioned to the other party to just pour him a glass of cold water and drink it.

After the three of them sat down respectively as guests of honor, they began to ask questions.

The main thing is how well you have done in these three days of work, and whether you can do well in the sales work on the first day tomorrow.

It will not be easy for many years to replicate the success of the Daily Express Mail.

Because this is Hong Kong Island, it is still very different from London.

And this time, it has been directly published in two newspapers and periodicals for many years, which will naturally squeeze out the market space.

Although the two newspapers have different purposes and target different customer groups, the entire population of Hong Kong Island is less than 400 million.

The real readers are actually just over a million people.

In particular, Zhongyong Daily prefers people's livelihood and folklore, and is not a newspaper favored by Hong Kong's elite and wealthy classes.

Therefore, it is very necessary for the Daily Express to establish an office on Hong Kong Island.

English newspapers are also very popular here on Hong Kong Island.

Apart from other things, the more than 20 white people alone are a big market.

Shu Ming and Huang Sicheng both reported their work quickly and reported all their results in the past three days.

Sales channels are not built in a day, so profits must be made at the beginning.

The advertising department must also follow up as soon as possible. When the sales volume comes out tomorrow, ads must be pushed as soon as possible.

"By the way, Editor Huang, this is another novel. It will be the second novel serialized in your newspaper tomorrow."

After the conversation was almost finished, many years ago took out a book from his briefcase.

The name written on it is the three words "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

Huang Sicheng was a little surprised when he saw the title of the book. By the time he read the first thousand words or so, he was already shocked.

"Boss, is this a ghost story?"

Shaking his head for many years, he said, "This is an adventure story disguised as a tomb robbery. How can there be such a thing as a ghost in the world? Haven't you heard of a saying that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, nothing can become a spirit?"

"But boss, this is Hong Kong Island!"

"This is Hong Kong Island, yes, but it is also China's territory. Just like the Bay Island, spirits are not allowed and there will definitely be no ghosts. Do you understand?"

Hearing this, Huang Sicheng and Shu Ming nodded quickly.

Their boss's expression was too serious.

In other words, their boss’s butt is tilted toward the mainland.

Although Huang Sicheng and the others also have red hearts, will such a glorious stance make it difficult for newspapers and magazines?

The two people quickly expressed their concerns. Many years ago clasped the table with their fingers and pondered for a long time:

"I have made it very clear to you about our stance on running newspapers before, and I will reiterate it again now."

"We can report on political history, but we don't touch current affairs and politics. We don't care about our stance. We just report it truthfully."

“The most taboo things in news reporting are fake news and changing positions.”

To put it simply, it is to run the newspaper from a fair and equitable position, not to state the position clearly, not to touch on those messy things, and only to emphasize one China.

Because a small newspaper doesn't have much influence at all. Don't take yourself too seriously, and you can't help but take yourself seriously.

The degree must be grasped clearly.

Shu Ming nodded in agreement, then licked his face again and said:

"Boss, look at Editor Huang and his colleagues, they have an extra novel. Does our New Economic Daily also have one?"

He hopes that his boss will be fair, otherwise it will be difficult for him as the editor-in-chief.

"Not yet, we have to wait a little longer."

Many Years shook his head and said.

No matter how awesome he is, he can't write so many books at the same time.

The three books of Swordsman, The Deer and the Cauldron, and Ghost Blowing the Lantern were already his limit.

He had already started preparing these three books half a year ago.

However, the current creation speed is indeed very slow.

And he has a lot on his plate, so he definitely won’t be able to get up quickly.

When Shu Ming heard this, he was immediately disappointed.

But there is no other way but to hope that tomorrow, the sales volume of New Economic Daily will not be further affected by Zhongyong Daily.

Early the next morning, Ming Pao headquarters on King's Road, North Point.

After Shen Baoxin came to the office, he sent someone to keep an eye on it. As long as there was news, he had to report it as soon as possible.

Yesterday, under the double impact of New Economic Daily and Zhongyong Daily, Mingpao's sales dropped again by more than 2 copies.

lost heavily!

In the two days before and after, Mingpao's sales dropped sharply by nearly [-] copies, almost cutting off half of its sales.

so horrible!

Although Ming Pao also published a lot of nude photos yesterday, other newspapers also used similar winning strategies.

However, it was still beaten by New Economic Daily and Zhongyong Daily.

There's nothing I can do about it, the photos in these two newspapers are even more tempting.

What's more, it's free and there are good novels, who doesn't like it?

Bang bang bang!
Not long after Shen Baoxin arrived at the office and sat down, there was a knock on the office door.

"Please come in!"

Just as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open and a young man came in. He was the employee who had just been called out to work.

"Boss, something big happened. This is the poster their newspaper just issued today."

"Buy a newspaper and get a free poster."

“This poster is extremely beautiful and printed in color, making it very suitable for collection.”

The total price of a newspaper is only [-] cents, which is only [-] cents if it is more expensive.

In the 20s, a newspaper in Hong Kong cost one penny. By [-], it had risen to ten cents.

After entering the 60s, the price of newspapers in Hong Kong rose to [-] cents or more.

In fact, in 100, the salary of many people in Hong Kong was only between 400 and [-] yuan.

Therefore, people who can afford to buy a newspaper for [-] cents are definitely the most loyal readers.

After all, if you spend 30 cents a day for [-] days in a month, it will cost you nine yuan a month.

Although nine yuan is not a lot compared to a salary of more than 100 yuan, you must understand that the rent ranges from fifty to sixty to two to three hundred.

A bowl of minced meat porridge at a food stall costs two cents; a bowl of beef brisket rice costs one and a half yuan; and the Star Ferry costs two cents for a one-way trip.

This is the price level in [-]. However, this price will definitely not last long. Due to the background of the times, prices will soar rapidly in the next few years.

The prices of the New Economic Daily and Zhongyong Daily newspapers are the same, [-] cents each.

Because the cost of color printing posters is only five cents, which is almost the same as the cost of newspapers.

In addition, there is a profit margin of [-] cents to newsstands and other sales outlets. Therefore, the cost of a newspaper and poster is [-] cents.

This means that for every newspaper sold, the newspaper company's own profit is only [-] cents.

This profit does not exclude labor costs.

After all, three cents of printing and two cents of operating costs do not include labor costs.

Not to mention other things, there are a total of 200 marketers like Azhi.

In other words, the newspaper New Economic Daily has 200 marketing salesmen. Based on their average salary of 2 yuan, the monthly labor expenditure is [-] yuan.

There are also newspaper editors, writers, novel writers, etc., which are also huge expenses.

In total, this cost, on average, is at least three to six cents for each newspaper.Specifically, it depends on sales volume.

The higher the sales volume, the lower these costs are.

Shen Baoxin looked at the exquisite poster in front of him and suddenly became angry.

Simply too much!
The beauty on the poster is a woman wearing a transparent gauze swimsuit, with a voluptuous and graceful figure.

The key parts are even more looming, providing ultimate temptation.

Not to mention that men will be moved by it, even women will be moved by it.

On the back of the poster, there is a passage, Do you want to know how to become beautiful?Please stay tuned!

Although it is just such a sentence, it is obvious that the temptation for girls is not small.

In other words, this newspaper kills both men and women.

However, this is just the charm of this poster.

The price is [-] cents, which is really not expensive!

That's why Shen Baoxin is so angry. This is simply behavior that disrupts the market.

Others don't care about this. For consumers, the two newspapers purchased today are a huge profit.

Some people like New Economic Daily, others like Zhongyong Daily, but most people like both newspapers.

For those of you who are salty and wet, both newspapers are good, especially the Zhongyong Daily.

Because the story of The Deer and the Cauldron has been on the right track since its publication, the protagonist Wei Xiaobao has begun to sneak into the palace, and the story with the Queen Mother and the Princess is about to come.

Not many young people can handle such a plot.

Although buying newspapers every day is a bit expensive, it is not so bad to save money and skip a meal in order to pursue novels.

With the money saved, you can buy an extra newspaper and entertain yourself for an hour or two.

How cool!
King's Road, Sing Pao Building, Sing Pao Headquarters.

“How many copies of our newspaper are we selling?”

"Boss, 12 copies have been shipped today, and I haven't received a call yet."

Hearing this, the boss of Chengbao felt his heart drop.

The daily sales volume of newspapers, which was originally 18 copies, has now become 12 copies. It is such a sharp drop that it is simply terrifying.

If this continues, how can we survive?
At the headquarters of the New Economic Daily on Hollywood Road in Central, Shu Ming has received the report and is now calling many years ago.

"Boss, as of now, our sales of New Economic Daily have reached 25 copies today, and there are still merchants urging us to restock."

"It can be expected that by the afternoon, our sales today will definitely exceed 30 copies."

After hearing this, the latter finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although when it was distributed for free before, it reached 80 copies.

But there is a lot of moisture in it. Many people are just greedy for novelty and take advantage of it.

Nowadays, newspapers need to be purchased, and many people will give up.

Even so, the sales volume of 30 newspapers also proves that the marketing strategy for many years has not gone wrong.

Although Hong Kong Island is a small place with a small population, the consumption power of the people cannot be underestimated.

"Okay, I understand. You have to keep an eye on the market and don't let anyone take advantage of it."

The campaign of smear campaign by colleagues should start from tonight’s Evening News.

Everything is based on sales volume. For big newspapers such as Ming Pao and Sing Tao Daily, they may maintain their own identity and will not take the initiative to leave.

But some small newspapers, in order to attract attention, will definitely go out in person.

After all, the market is so big. For many years, he has brought two newspapers to compete. He ate so much that others ate less.

Therefore, someone will definitely come forward and let those small newspapers smear it.

There may even be triad gangs coming to cause trouble.

"Yes, boss, we know."

Shu Ming quickly responded and said, this is their job, and of course they have to work hard.

Otherwise, why should I get a high salary?

After Shu Ming hung up the phone, Huang Sicheng also called.

The sales volume of Zhongyong Daily is also very good. So far, the sales volume has exceeded 27.

Moreover, there are more people urging the goods. According to Huang Sicheng's estimate, today's sales should exceed 35.

In this way, the sales volume of Zhongyong Daily will be higher than that of New Economic Daily.

Judging from the current situation, more people should like Wei Xiaobao.

After all, the plot of the palace is still very attractive.

The fake queen mother and Princess Jianning greatly satisfied ordinary citizens' fantasies about the feudal dynasty.

You know, Hong Kong Island at this time still retained many bad habits from the Qing Dynasty, such as polygamy.

There is no legal support for this system, but there is no legal support for the monogamy system.

The actual situation is that many women in Hong Kong still strongly agree with the polygamy system.

In addition, the money-oriented social atmosphere in Hong Kong also makes many women hope that their men can earn more money.

As for whether the husband has someone outside or married a concubine, he doesn't particularly care.

The serialization of the novel "The Deer and the Cauldron" has, to a certain extent, made the sales of Zhongyong Daily even more popular.

Although The Swordsman is very powerful, in comparison, The Deer and the Cauldron is not as simple and straightforward.

In China Resources Company, Sun Guohua and Yu Guangyuan are looking forward to the coming of a new day.

After arriving at the Tanglou many years ago, he was called to the office by Ye Qifang.

"Boss leaders, do you have anything to do with me?"

Seeing that the two leaders Sun Guohua and Yu Guangyuan were there, I asked in riddles for many years.

He was pretending not to know, but he actually knew it very well.

Sun Guohua gave Yu Guangyuan a look, and the latter immediately asked what the sales volume of the two newspapers New Economic Daily and Zhongyong Daily was yesterday?

Yesterday was the first day that the two newspapers went on sale. Sun Guohua and Sun Guohua could not bear to ask until now. They were already very patient.

When the latter heard this, he immediately laughed:
"Both leaders, why are you so concerned about my investment? Are you worried that I will give up my investment?"

nonsense!

In recent days, the most discussed topics in Hong Kong are the two novels Swordsman and The Deer and the Cauldron.

The first reason is because the writing style of these two novels is very similar to Jin Da Da.

But the core of the story and the writing style are very different.

As for plagiarism, that is definitely nonsense.

Didn’t you see that Jin Dada didn’t say a word?
Even Jin Dada’s good friend Ni Kuang criticized New Economic Daily and Zhongyong Daily in newspapers, but Jin Dada did not respond.

why?

The general public is not very clear about the details, but one thing is known, that is, Yi Nian, the creator of Swordsman, and the heart-warming arsonist, the creator of The Deer and the Cauldron, are really awesome.

It is indeed not easy to imitate Jin Da Da's writing style and write such a good story.

Secondly, these two novels, The Swordsman and The Deer and the Cauldron, are very powerful and have triggered discussions among many readers.

You know, New Economic Daily has a sales volume of 32 newspapers, and Zhongyong Daily has a sales volume of 35 newspapers.

These two figures are directly the first and second figures for reaching the top of Hong Kong Island.

And it is more than twice the sales volume of No. 315 million copies.

With such a high sales volume, the coverage is of course very wide, and it is normal for it to be widely discussed.

Even many people who originally didn't like reading novels began to spend money to buy newspapers because of the discussions of people around them.

Both newspapers have received many letters from book friends, hoping to publish the book as soon as possible.

After all, many people have never seen newspapers distributed for free on the first or second day.

However, these letters from readers were suppressed by both Shu Ming and Huang Sicheng.

Andy from Shanhai Publishing House, of course, knew about this, but didn't say anything.

Because Andy also knew very well that newspapers had just started to go on sale, and the two newspapers urgently needed the two novels Swordsman and The Deer and the Cauldron to stabilize sales.

According to the plan that has been planned for many years, the book will definitely not be printed and published so quickly.

Although the ISBN has been applied for, in order to extract the maximum benefit, it must be waited a little longer.

Sing Tao Daily, Ming Pao, Hong Kong Island Commercial Daily, etc. Many insiders are inquiring and guessing about the sales of New Economic Daily and Zhongyong Daily.

Sun Guohua and Yu Guangyuan were even more concerned.

After hearing what many years had said, Yu Guangyuan quickly denied the matter.

"We are just worried that your money will be wasted. After all, it is not easy for you to make money."
