The night owls who didn't sleep in the early hours of the morning suddenly received benefits from Zhang Chu, and when everyone thought that the content would not be updated until Monday daytime, it suddenly came out at midnight!

And it's not just one chapter, three chapters are directly added, and the total number of words in these three chapters even exceeds 20,000 words.

The wonderful wedge makes people's curiosity soar, and the allusion of Shennong tasting a hundred herbs is a familiar story to readers, but now it has been reinterpreted by Zhang Chu.

This beginning is ordinary but extraordinary, the words and sentences are full of ancient rhyme, there is a feeling of watching martial arts, happy and enmity, and the atmosphere is thousands!

Sweeping away the dull atmosphere and lazy time of life, "Sou Shen Ji" shows a very grand layout from the beginning, not sticking to one school, and the world view is magnificent, which makes people can't help but want to quickly unfold this picture.

The sudden update is really full of volume, which makes the readers who have been waiting hard to get hooked!

They thought that Zhang Chu would end with a 2,000-word or 3,000-word chapter, but they never expected that a wedge of more than 10,000 words and the first two chapters would come directly.

Among online literature lovers, the number of night owls is beyond imagination, and when Zhang Chu began to update, the entire book review area was boiling, and the number of recommended votes and favorites and rewards also began to soar.

Such a powerful update, then of course you have to support it!

"Let's hope that momentum can be maintained in the future. ”

Zhang Chu looked at the backstage and said with a smile that the collection number had become 12015, and the collection number of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" below had exceeded 350,000 people.

Although "Ghost Blows the Lantern" has not been updated, the number of collectors has only risen and not fallen every day, which is magical.

……

In the rumbling printing house, fully automatic machines are constantly printing, folding, cutting and then tying up electronic newspapers.

The newspapers are printed at 4 a.m. each day and then transported from the printing house to the distribution department and distributed to the various distribution points.

By the time consumers get their hands on the newspapers, the workers have finished their work.

It has been more than 30 years since the establishment of East China Life Daily, but its circulation and influence have not reached the same level.

East China is one of the most economically prosperous regions in the country, and it is very difficult to stand out from the crowd of newspapers.

With a circulation of only 600,000 subscribers, 60 percent of the newsletter is the East China Life Daily, and the rest of the retail accounts for about 40 percent.

To tell the truth, the circulation and influence of this newspaper are a bit low, with a circulation of about 600,000 points per day, not to mention compared with the mainstream newspapers and periodicals in the country, even in East China, it is very inconspicuous, and can only be regarded as a second-rate newspaper.

When he chose to cooperate with this newspaper, Zhang Chu was not without doubts, after all, this was not conducive to improving the influence of "Sou Shen Ji"!

He wanted to find a big national newspaper, but those big newspapers either had too low a price or there was no room for serialization.

Only the price of "East China Life Daily" is more than 5 million, which directly comes to the level of 7.5 million yuan, and the rest of the newspapers are almost two or three million and want to buy "Sou Shen Ji" back.

Gui Xuefeng was a little nervous, their newspaper's annual advertising income was almost 80 million, and now he used one-tenth of his advertising income to buy a book.

If the impact of this book does not meet expectations, then this big gamble will definitely end in failure!

Although 7.5 million yuan will not hurt the newspaper, it is inevitable that it will be uncomfortable for a while.

The most critical point is that what so much money bought is not an exclusive publication right, but just an ordinary serial right, which is carried out together with the network serialization.

No wonder the employees under his hands have a lot of complaints, if it weren't for Gui Xuefeng's position as the number one leader for more than ten years, I'm afraid someone would have wanted to pull him down!

"Mr. Gui, do you really have that much confidence in Zhang Chu's book, what if it is not a work of the level of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"?"

In front of Gui Xuefeng's desk, a middle-aged man in a wool coat said with some apprehension.

After all, that's 7.5 million yuan, and the price of the works serialized in their newspapers before is usually only one or two hundred per thousand words, and it will only rise to five hundred if you meet a famous master.

These works are usually not too long, so the price of a book can be more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan!

How can it be like "Sou Shen Ji", and directly take away 7.5 million yuan.

Gui Xuefeng didn't think so, he said: "I am very optimistic about Zhang Chu's work, we only spent 7.5 million yuan, and the origin Chinese network spent a full 10 million." They're a website that specializes in things, and since they're willing to spend that much money, it proves that the book is really good. Have you read the article in "Sou Shen Ji"?"

"Not yet, but I've just finished reading the part that was printed on the newspaper today. Xie Yu shook his head, a little surprised.

"If you don't read it, you don't have the right to speak, you haven't even finished reading his book, how can you conclude that it's not worth 7.5 million?" Gui Xuefeng's words sounded a little harsh, but they were very reasonable, "I think it's lucky that 7.5 million can be taken down." Maybe it can create us a lot of 7.5 million profits. ”

Xie Yuzhen didn't know where Gui Xuefeng's confidence came from, now that fantasy and fantasy have long been flooded on the Internet, it seems a bit fantastical to want to rely on a book to raise the profits of the entire newspaper.

But he is just a subordinate, and it is better to question the leader less.

So Xie Yu stood up, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then Mr. Gui, I'll go over and read that book first, I don't know what kind of wonderful content is behind it." ”

"You're going to love this book, I stayed up late a few days ago and read the part that Zhang Chu handed over to us. ”

"Sou Shen Ji" has 300,000 words of content handed over to the East China Life Daily, and they will update it a little more on the first day, and after that, they will fix six or seven thousand words a day to keep the same as the website.

After watching Xie Yu leave, Gui Xuefeng walked to the window and looked at the gloomy sky outside, this was their East China Life Newspaper's letting go!

In the past, "Metropolis Express" sprung up, originally just a third-rate tabloid with a circulation of less than 300,000, but now it is rising, poaching many subscribers to "East China Life Daily", and now the circulation of a single issue is close to one million.

The content and positioning of the two newspapers are almost identical, and the target audience is almost the same, and the rise of "Metropolis Express" has caused the advertisers and users of "East China Life" to continue to decline.

Another previous rival, "East China Metropolis Daily", had good sales, but it was named and criticized by the General Administration of Press and Publication for rectifying the fake news of the ghost blowing the lamp, and the sales in the back were not as good as before.

"I hope Zhang Chu can continue his good luck and let our newspaper catch up with the Metropolis Express. ”
