Early this morning, before he had time to eat breakfast, Li Hui couldn't wait to buy a copy of the Oriental Daily from the entrance of the community, and stood on the stall to read it.

At this time, a middle-aged uncle came from the opposite side: "Hey, what is Xiao Li looking at?

"Oh, Lao Liu, it's nothing, it's just that my nephew wrote a novel and serialized it in the Oriental Daily, I'll buy it and read it. Li Hui said

"How is it written," Lao Liu asked in surprise

"Okay" Although Li Hui said so, judging from his expression, he was a little proud and a little proud.

"Boss, give me a copy too, I'll see how it's written," Lao Wang said with a big grin.

At a breakfast stall in Yau Tsim Mong District, Wang Sanqiang, as a loyal reader of "Oriental Daily", is as usual today, eating breakfast and reading the newspaper at the same time. But before breakfast was finished today, he stood up all of a sudden, and said to the younger brothers around him, "Brothers, in the future, everyone should not call me third brother, you have to call Brother Qiang, do you hear?"

"Why? Brother Qiang" I saw one of Wang Sanqiang's henchmen, Ma Zai, asking

"Just look at this newspaper," Wang Sanqiang raised the newspaper in his hand and said, "Wait a minute, everyone has to buy a copy of Oriental Daily, look at Brother Qiang, I'm a lot of cattle X"

After speaking, the prince walked away with his head held high

This is just a microcosm of Hong Kong, and there are many more similar things this morning.

Many readers of Oriental Daily News have introduced the novel to friends and family.

Oriental Daily Headquarters

The beautiful female secretary pushed the door in with a stack of reports, and whispered to Ma Chengkun, who was leaning on the boss's chair and closing his eyes: "Boss, this is today's sales report." ”

Ma Chengkun opened his eyes, patted the secretary's buttocks, and said to the secretary, "Bring me a cup of coffee." ”

The female secretary was ordered to make coffee, and Ma Chengkun opened the report sent by the secretary and read it.

"Knock knock!"

There was a knock on the door, Ma Chengkun put down the report, sat up straight, and coughed, "Come in." ”

It was Xu Ziwen, the editor-in-chief, who came in, holding the report with a happy face, and it seemed that he had encountered a big happy event.

Ma Chengkun stood up and said enthusiastically: "Editor-in-Chief Xu, please take a seat, do you have anything to do with me?"

Xu Ziwen raised the report in his hand and said happily: "Chairman, today's 100,000 newspapers have been sold out, and many newsstands have called to order, it seems that at least 120,000 copies will be printed tomorrow!"

"Really?" Ma Chengkun, who was still pretending to be experienced just now, was young and couldn't hold his breath after all, and kept rubbing his hands, "It's really good, it's really good......" said with excitement and joy on his face

Then asked, "SH Beach is really so good to sell?" Ma Chengkun was still a little afraid to believe it

The response to SH Beach was surprisingly good, with thousands of readers calling to ask about the novel within five hours of the paper's sellout. ”

"I didn't expect it, this ........."

Before Xu Ziwen finished speaking, Wu Fei excitedly broke in directly: "Cousin, the newspaper is selling well! Hurry up and notify the printing house and ask them to print another 5,000 copies today and 110,000 copies tomorrow!"

On the second day of the serialization of "SH Beach", Wu Fei came to Ma Chengkun's office again and said excitedly: "Cousin, all the 110,000 copies of the newspaper today have been sold out, and Manager Zhou of the circulation department wants to print another 5,000 copies directly, and ask how do you feel about printing 130,000 copies directly tomorrow?"

"120,000 copies sold out?" Ma Chengkun was pleasantly surprised, walking around excitedly, as if to vent the depression that had been suppressed in his heart for a year, when Ma Chengkun took over the "Oriental Daily" last year, due to the drastic changes in the Ma family, the newspaper's morale was disheartened, and the newspaper's sales fell from 150,000 copies all the way to 9 copies last month. Just when Ma Chengkun thought that he couldn't do it, the newspaper sales suddenly sold well, yesterday he was a little uncertain, and today the sales have risen again, how can you tell him not to be excited!

"It's all sold out" After speaking, his eyes were a little red, Wu Fei, as a member of the Ma family, was no less pressure on his body than Ma Chengkun.

After being excited for a long time, Ma Chengkun said: "Ah Fei, thanks to you this time"

"Cousin, what are you talking about, we are all a family," Wu Fei said excitedly

"If newspaper sales are still surging tomorrow, I suggest that the advertising price be increased. ”

"Good, good, good!" Ma Chengkun said three good words in a row, and he was happy at this time except for the word "good", he really couldn't find any other words to express his current mood.

Sales and advertising are the lifeblood of a newspaper, and if both are raised, it means that the glory of Oriental Daily is back.

Wu Fei continued: "Cousin, I think the potential of that "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is even higher than that of "SH Beach", so we must live in Zhang Heng first now, and that day he said that he would wait for "SH Beach" to be serialized before discussing the manuscript fee of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty". If the manuscript fee cannot be negotiated, he can take "The Biography of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" to other newspapers at any time to publish. ”

"What?" Ma Chengkun's face changed, and he reproached, "Why are you so confused, you should have trapped him in the first place!"

Wu Fei smiled bitterly: "That guy is very shrewd, at that time I only thought that "SH Beach" might sell very well, but I didn't expect it to be so popular! Now the whole of Hong Kong is talking about Xu Wenqiang and Feng Chengcheng, and it is about to reach a hot topic among the whole people."

"Contact him quickly, no matter how high the manuscript fee is, you must keep him," Ma Chengkun forced himself to calm down and said, "A novel makes the sales of a newspaper explode by 30,000 copies in just two days, which is already comparable to Jin Yong and Gu Long."

"Okay, cousin, I'll negotiate with Zhang Heng as soon as possible," Wu Fei said

"Is this author's name Zhang Heng? I remembered, and I also notified the Propaganda Department, asking them to report on the fact that our Oriental Daily had increased its sales by 20,000 in two days because of "SH Tan", and then stimulate sales," Ma Chengkun instructed

Day 2............

"Outside the number, outside the number, Oriental Daily's sales exploded by 20,000 ...... in two days"

"A new generation of novel giants outside the number and outside the number are out of the mountain......"

"Outside, outside, novel rookie Zhang Heng is going to replace Ni Yu as the king of the new generation of novels......"

…………

Later, the more outrageous it became, and thus stimulated the sales of Oriental Daily to reach a new high, reaching 140,000 sales, which is a later story.

Ming Pao Building

Shen Baoxing put down the newspaper in his hand and sighed and said, "I didn't expect Oriental Daily to come back to life with a novel, and the sales reached 130,000 copies in just two days, which is also a threat to our Ming Pao!"

"It doesn't matter," said Jin Yong, waving his hand, "Oriental Daily takes the vulgar route of the market, while Ming Pao has a much higher style." And depending on the route taken, the reader's tastes will be different.

Moreover, handling newspapers is a long-term way, and relying on novels to increase sales is only a temporary measure, and it will not last too long.

Shen Baoxing didn't say anything, but he didn't think so in his heart.

Didn't Ming Pao rely on Jin Yong's novels to achieve today's achievements, if it was a novel, maybe Shen Baoxing would not be afraid, but who can guarantee that Zhang Heng will not become the second Jin Yong? It's just that these words are not easy to say.
