Chapter 176: Celebration Party!
Jin Lao has deep feelings for the country, and on the surface, Jin Yong's martial arts novels tell the enmity and feud of the rivers and lakes, which is an apocryphal story. However, the concepts of patriotism, peace, hard work, and justice in Jin Yong's novels have been influencing generations of people in Hong Kong.
The most famous scenes are Guo Jing, Yang Guo and others in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" who swore to defend Xiangyang City to the death, and Qiao Feng in "Dragon Babu" who was committed to maintaining the security of the border between the Great Song Dynasty and the Khitan.
Adhering to one China is also the belief that Jin Lao has always believed.
Perhaps knowing that He Zilong would not stay in Hong Kong for too long, but also considering that He Zilong was from Chinese mainland, as well as some other influences. Ming Pao processed almost at the speed of light, and the opening chapter of "Xun Qin Ji" was reprinted that night, and it was published in Ming Pao's newspaper the next day.
And He Zilong, who got the notice, also asked the Li brothers to go to the newsstand bookstores early the next morning to buy a few more copies of the latest issue of Ming Pao newspapers.
Seeing the serialization of the novel in the newspaper and the appearance of his pen name Long Sihai, He Zilong's sense of accomplishment was born.
By the afternoon, it is estimated that the newspaper should have sold more than half of it, and many people should have read it. He Zilong took the three brothers of the Li family and went outside for a walk. Newspaper stands, bookstores, buses, roadside restaurants, in any way, they will look around the places where newspapers and magazines are sold.
"Wei Zai, look, the new novel serialized in today's "Ming Pao" is so sharp and tired. tells the story of a Hong Kong boy who travels back to the Warring States Period through time and space, and the first side still falls on the bed of a big beauty of the Warring States Period, and he is not at the top. There is also Mr. Cha's recommendation on it, isn't it another new "Deer and Ding Ji" of science fiction and martial arts?"
"Oh, that's good to hear, show me. The other immediately snatched the newspaper from his friend's hand.
In Hong Kong, with Jin Yongru's honorary status in Hong Kong, if he wants to write a preface or a recommendation for a martial arts novel, as long as the novel is not too badly written. Just like the Zhongyuan Wubai of the starting point of the Chinese network in later generations, he recommends a new author every day. The effect is absolutely significant, and only a little can ensure that the newcomer's book will not lose money, this is the bottom line, and the celebrity effect is so powerful.
When He Zilong and his entourage went to the bus stop, they found out how popular "Xun Qin Ji" was, because they had to wait for the bus, and they had to sit there and not move when they got on the bus. In the era when the Internet was not developed, almost everyone would rush to watch the newspaper of the day. Or one for each person!
Just like the Spring Festival Gala, as long as there are many sketch cross talk programs, the observation is in full swing. The number of novels serialized in today's Ming Pao is obviously more than usual, plus there are also Jin Lao's recommendations, and many people are scrambling to watch the newspaper for a while, and those who don't have newspapers borrow from acquaintances, which is quite a bit of Luoyang paper expensive.
Seeing that the situation of the manuscript is so good, of course the Li brothers have to express something.
Li Dajun immediately patted his ass and said: "I just said that Long Shao is not an ordinary person, he can make money, gamble, write novels, and fight is also extraordinary, he is simply both civil and military, and he will become a great writer as soon as he makes a move in a minute!"
He Zilong snorted, saying things like having won awards and awards, but the joyful expression on his face betrayed his true thoughts in his heart.

Inside the Ming Pao building!
Jin Lao looked at today's newspaper sales list and said to the secretary, "Brew me a cup of green tea." ”
When he was young, his face showed joy, and he muttered to himself: "It seems that I am still a treasure sword, and my vision is like knowing a treasure." Today's 130,000 copies of the newspaper have been sold out, and it seems that novels with new themes have sparked a hot spot, and it will be necessary to print at least 140,000 copies tomorrow!"
People are aesthetically fatigued, because there has been no new hot spot, and in order to create a hot spot, the recent Ming Pao has even fought a dozen war of words with other newspapers on the newspaper surface. Of course, this is common in Hong Kong, where there is freedom of speech.
After all, the Hong Kong Peninsula, which is the size of the palm of the hand, has nearly 50-70 newspapers at the same time. Add to that some black newspapers, and just think about how fierce the competition is!
And that's just newspapers, studios, and stars, and the list goes on. It is also because of the many that sometimes on the roadside stalls, it is not strange to see first-line stars such as Cheng Long, Fa Ge, and Brother Xing eating small stalls.
Jin Lao was thinking when there was a knock on the door outside.
It was the head of the editorial team of Ming Pao who came in, holding the report, and said happily: "Mr. Cha, the "Xun Qin Ji" you recommended has been surprisingly well received among readers, and within three or four hours of the newspaper being put out for sale, hundreds of readers called to ask about the follow-up of the chapter. They're urging them to change!"
As soon as the head of the editorial team spoke, the manager of the circulation department excitedly rushed in: "Mr. Cha, today's newspaper is selling well, and I think we should strike while the iron is hot! I have already notified the printing house and asked them to print another 10,000 copies today and 150,000 copies tomorrow! Do you think it's okay?"
"Okay, no problem......"

The second day of the serialization of "Xun Qin"!
Whenever the editorial team passes by the front desk, each editor will say to Ling Yumo at the front desk: "Xiaoyu, it's amazing, I heard that the author was recommended to Mr. Cha by your discerning hero, and I found a good book, and all the 150,000 copies of the newspaper today have been sold out, and I heard that an additional 10,000 copies will be printed tomorrow!"
Ling Yumo was very calm on the surface, but when the editors left, he jumped up excitedly. In the end, it's only a girl in her twenties!
At the weekly meeting on the 15th floor of the Ming Pao Building, the newspaper's sales rose sharply again, and the editors and cadres were naturally in a good mood and had smiles on their faces.
The first speaker of the circulation department said: "According to the market feedback, since the serialization of "Xun Qin Ji" in the past few days, the sales of our Ming Pao newspaper on the first day have increased on a large scale every day. Judging from the market reaction, I think we should be more bold and print 170,000 newspapers directly tomorrow, after all, the time to strike while the iron is hot is also limited, and even if it falls back to an average of about 140,000 copies per day in the future, it is normal, and now is to grab time!"
"We revealed the new novel on the exchange, and the author signed an exclusive contract, and the stock price of our Ming Pao has risen by 15% in the past two days, and it seems that investors are also very optimistic about the future of our Ming Pao......" The manager of the trading department also stood up to report the results.
Hearing that the stock price had risen by 15%, the smiles on everyone's faces were even bigger. Everyone has the shares of Ming Pao in their hands, and the rise of shares is the most profitable. If the high level is reduced, only one person can earn a few million more.
For a listed company, the sense of expectation that the product brings to shareholders, maintaining the company's large amount of cash, and the rights and interests of each shareholder can be returned, is a happy thing.
In other words, if the stock price can continue to rise, then everyone here will laugh until they can't sleep at night even if they don't get a penny of salary in the next ten years.
