When Li Boyuan said this, although his eyes widened, he was smiling.

Mrs. Duan and they usually know each other very well, so they know Li Boyuan's temperament, so they smiled and didn't speak again, turned around and went to the kitchen again.

Now that it was dark and it was almost time for dinner, she was busy with dinner for them in the kitchen.

And Zhuang Yan also knows what Li Boyuan went to Shanghai for, Li Boyuan is a person who likes to run newspapers very much, and at the age of 30 he ran the "Guide Newspaper", and the next year he founded the "Game Newspaper".

Later, he transferred the "Game Newspaper" to others, and he started the "World Prosperity Newspaper", which is a daily newspaper.

"World Prosperity Daily" was quite famous at that time, and many well-known people were serialized in the middle, including his own and Wu Yanren.

At that time, there were brothels next to the office of "World Prosperity Daily", and this Li Boyuan also posted a couplet at the door, which read: Lao Ji is in waiting, and the warbler is next to each other.

It was at that time that he wrote "The Appearance of Officialdom".

In fact, there are still some differences between the content of this world's "The Appearance of Officialdom" and the previous world, and the degree of overlap is only about 50% to 60%.

However, the entire book of the last world was written by Li Boyuan himself fifty times, and the rest was continued by his friends, because he died after writing fifty times.

The newspaper was in the world until 1905, when the Internet was rapidly developing and mobile devices were popping up.

Under such a wave, the newspaper had no choice but to close its doors.

At that time, many newspapers were closed, but there were also many newspapers that rose instantly. Some people who are more able to adapt to the changes of the times quickly transformed the newspaper into an Internet media.

There are many well-known media websites now, all of which have been transformed from those newspapers in the past.

And Li Boyuan couldn't adapt to the changes of the times, so they could only close their doors.

But I don't know why, this door has been closed for more than 10 years, why does he suddenly think of starting another newspaper now? Does he think that the current environment can still allow him to run that kind of old newspaper?

"I also know that there is no environment for running an old newspaper now, and it will only be a waste of time if I want to do it, but I am a little unwilling, so I want to try, and after trying it, I know that this thing has long been weak, and now I can only accept my fate. Li Boyuan sighed.

Zhuang Yan asked curiously: "Why does Mr. have to run an old newspaper? Can't he run a new media newspaper by himself, or open up a space in other big portals to run a newspaper?"

Li Boyuan shook his head, "I can't do this, I already said, I don't even know how to use a computer." ”

"You can leave everything to the professionals, sir, you can just take charge of the overall situation in the back. Zhuang Yan said

Li Boyuan shook his head again, "It's still not good, if I run a new media, what else can I do, then what's the use of me running this newspaper?"

This old man is really stubborn, Zhuang Yan thought for a while and said: "I don't think it's better to run a newspaper like this, you run a newspaper, and then make both paper newspapers and online media, taking care of both." The paper newspaper part is in your own hands, and the online media part is done by professionals, so isn't it the best of both worlds?"

"The best of both worlds?" Li Boyuan shook his head again: "Once upon a time, there was a village in this village, and there was a family in this village who had a daughter, and when the daughter was time to get married, her parents would choose a son-in-law for her outside. In the end, two were selected for her to choose, one lived in the east of the village, and his family was well-off, but he was a little ugly. And the one in the west of the village, although he looks like Pan An, is a family with four walls, and he can only eat bran vegetables when he goes. In such a difficult situation, the daughter of the family came up with the idea of the best of both worlds, and she told her parents that she would eat at the house at the east end of the village during the day and sleep at the house at the west end of the village at night. ”

Zhuang Yan was still wondering why Li Boyuan suddenly told the story, but he finally understood the meaning when he heard it.

Duan Qirui laughed, "You old Li, there are a lot of jokes." ”

Li Boyuan also smiled: "I, like this daughter, it is impossible to have the best of both worlds." I want to be an old newspaper, but it's not that I can't accept coexistence with online media, but there are too many things involved. ”

After talking for a long time, Li Boyuan actually didn't say what the problem was, and Zhuang Yan thought that Li Boyuan was still afraid of the unknown territory.

He doesn't know about the Internet, so he doesn't want to get involved with it. Although he said that he could coexist, he showed the opposite.

However, Zhuang Yan was not ready to say anything, because this matter had nothing to do with him, and he didn't have to be so anxious about justice and justice. Li Boyuan himself wants to set up a newspaper, but he is unwilling to take a step forward, he is doomed to fail, and no matter how much he persuades, it is useless.

And Li Boyuan probably didn't think it was interesting to talk about this topic, so he waved his hand and said: "Don't talk about this, let's talk about your new book, I can also read the book "The Old Man and the Sea", and when I see the deity today, I naturally want to copy it." ”

Copying is a dialect here, and it is an old dialect, and Jiang Su in later generations is basically no longer using it. The meaning of this word is probably to ask for advice, to discuss, to learn from the scriptures, and so on.

Zhuang Yan didn't dare to say again: "Mr. has already reviewed, if there is anything inappropriate, pay it back and give the axe." ”

Hearing this, Li Boyuan pouted, looked at Duan Qirui next to him, and asked, "Is he usually so modest?"

"Be more humble than that, you'll get used to it. Duan Qirui said.

Li Boyuan shook his head, "It's not okay to be too modest, at your age, you should scold whoever you want, and you must have a true temperament." For example, if you write a book yourself, you must think that it is the best, that is, you will not allow others to put their beaks in their mouths. ”

"You're not right, but you're still going to be able to accept advice with an open mind. Duan Qirui said.

"Accept the opinion of a p, love to watch it or not, and don't watch it out. ”

Duan Qirui glanced at Zhuang Yan and coughed lightly in embarrassment, "Ahem, don't you want to ask Zhuang Yan about the new book, how can it be related to other aspects." ”

"Oh, I've read the new book, it's written in a novel way, and I'm struggling to read it. I thought I had learned the vernacular well, but I didn't expect it to be almost meaningful, and some parts were not immediately understood. Li Boyuan said.

Zhuang Yan smiled, he had a lot of effort to read classical Chinese, but he didn't expect Li Boyuan to see this situation when they read vernacular Chinese.
