Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Reform of the Linchuan Evening News

"Ladies and gentlemen, it has been three years since the Linchuan Evening News was opened, but let's see what you have done in the past three years. With a circulation of less than 1,000 copies a day, you say, this newspaper has to be ...... to continue."

The editorial department of Linchuan Evening News is having a major meeting at this time. It seems that the leader of the city came to the newspaper office in person. Moreover, I am not very satisfied with the performance of Linchuan Evening News in recent years.

Speaking of which, Linchuan Evening News, directly under the municipal party committee, is a political axe agency. Originally, in response to the call of the state, a local surname was specially opened to report on the life of the people in Linchuan and the news of Linchuan education investment. However, since its inception, the Linchuan Evening News has been half-dead. The daily circulation is only about 1,000 copies. Now, three years have passed, and the leader who was the first to approve the establishment of the newspaper has come to the newspaper today.

The anger in his heart, he was about to be promoted. But I don't want his political enemies to seize the Linchuan Evening News he opened three years ago to make a big fuss, saying that it is a face-saving project and reporting some trivial things. got a newspaper office, all of which ate public food, and did not contribute to the Linchuan municipal axe at all. In this way, the municipal party committee will press the upcoming appointment letter first.

"In any case, within three days, I will do everything I can to reform the Linchuan Evening News. If it's still like this, everyone pack up and get ready to go home. The political axe doesn't plan to raise you idlers for nothing. ”

At this time, the leader sent a cruel word.

The editorial department of Linchuan Evening News looked at each other. I wanted to scold my mother, "Although this newspaper has been open for three years, it has not been funded by the top in three years." There is no funding, you let our editorial department, where to cover so much news. No, they take their salaries and come upside down. ”

After more than two hours of the meeting, the leader left angrily.

……

Editor-in-Chief's Office.

"Director Li, Miss Gu from Tang Dynasty Information is here."

"Tang Dynasty information?"

The editor-in-chief of Linchuan Evening News, surnamed Li, has a single name. Li Ming heard the Tang Dynasty information coming here, and his heart was happy, thinking, this Tang Dynasty information has been very strong in recent months, and in the past few days, I am thinking about whether to report this company. Unexpectedly, they sent someone to come. But what did they send people for?

"That Miss Gu, did you explain your intentions?"

"Not really."

"Okay, call her in."

In desperation, I had to call that Miss Gu in.

"Hello, Director Li, I'm Gu Xiaoyu from the Tang Dynasty, and this is my business card."

The person who came was Gu Xiaoyu, after she received Chen Jiayi's plan, she made a little preparation, and the next day, she came to the Linchuan Evening News.

"Hello, the recent Tang Dynasty information has really added a lot of glory to my Linchuan. We are in Linchuan Evening News, and we are preparing to go to your company for an interview, I don't know if the Tang Dynasty information is convenient? ”

"This is always welcome, but I am here today for another matter."

"Miss Gu, please speak."

"I don't know Director Li, have you ever read a web novel called Ethereal Journey?"

"Ethereal Journey?"

"Li Ming" didn't understand what Gu Xiaoyu meant, but in the past few years, the Linchuan newspaper has nothing to do. Some news, there are many, are made up by their editorial department. I usually have a lot of time, especially Director Li, the editor-in-chief. When he is not working, he often goes online to read the news.

Recently, he has become obsessed with online novels, and the one that fascinates him happens to be the ethereal journey.

"I've seen some, I don't know what Miss Gu means?"

"Director Li, I think this novel is to create a new kind of novel after Jin Yong's martial arts novel. The author of the Ethereal Journey, with the secret techniques of Chinese Taoist metaphysics, shows people what it means to cultivate the truth......"

Gu Xiaoyu did not answer the words of "Li Ming" positively, but began to talk about the novel Ethereal Journey. And when Li Ming heard Gu Xiaoyu talk about the ethereal trip he had been fascinated by recently, he suddenly became interested, and immediately didn't care what Gu Xiaoyu was doing here. immediately exchanged reading experiences with Gu Xiaoyu.

After chatting freely, Li Ming shouted happily. Presumably, as a book friend, it is really a pleasure to be able to exchange opinions on the ethereal journey with another book friend.

"Director Li Gao Jian, recently our Tang Dynasty information, all the copyrights of the ethereal journey have been bought. I plan to serialize it in your newspaper, Director Li, what do you think? ”

"Well, why didn't I think of that? Newspapers are so similar to those updated on the Internet. ”

The newspaper is once a day, and on the Internet, it is also updated once or twice a day. Moreover, people who read newspapers and people who read novels on the Internet are basically different groups, and there will be no overlap. If the novel is serialized in the newspaper, based on Li Ming's experience of seeing the ethereal journey, it will definitely attract a large number of people.

Just when Li Ming agreed in his heart, he didn't want to, a spirit, woke up, "This is a newspaper, the report is for news, you serialize an online novel, what is it?" Thinking of this, Li Ming hesitated and said to Gu Xiaoyu, "This, Miss Gu's proposal is very good, our editorial department, and then discuss it." ”

"Director Li, I don't know how much your newspaper has in circulation?"

"I'll tell you more about the circulation. Our Linchuan Evening News started relatively late, and it is also a tabloid, with a relatively small circulation, and in terms of the circulation of Jinsi, it is only about 40,000 or 50,000 copies per day. It's a little less, but we're working on it. ”

People like Li Ming usually make up a lot of fake news, and naturally they don't blush when they lie. Originally, there was only a circulation of more than 1,000 copies, but he instantly increased it by forty or fifty times.

"Director Li, I really know how to joke, if our Tang Dynasty information is not miscalculated, your newspaper has a circulation of only more than 1,000 copies at most, I don't know if what I said is right or not?"

"You, how do you know?"

Li Ming was shocked, and then his expression turned cold, and he said, "What do you mean by coming here?" ”

"Director Li, don't get me wrong, our Tang Dynasty information is just for cooperation, so we have no choice but to investigate your company. I would like to tell you that the purpose of our Tang Dynasty message is to reach a cooperation with your newspaper. In the Linchuan Evening News, the ethereal journey was serialized. I don't know what Director Li thinks? ”

"Miss Gu, it's a little difficult. Although this ethereal journey is good, we are a newspaper, and it seems that we can't get along with novels, not to mention, serialized online novels. ”

"Director Li, it is not without precedent for newspapers to serialize novels. Didn't Mr. Jin Yong of Hong Kong Ming Pao also serialize his martial arts novels in the newspaper. And Ming Pao also relied on Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts novels to get through the most critical period, and in the end, it became one of the two major newspapers in Hong Kong. And our Linchuan Evening News is the same as Ming Pao back then. Faced with the situation that the circulation is only more than 1,000 copies, presumably, Director Li's side is also under great pressure. At this time, if our Linchuan Evening News does not innovate, then the circulation will be lower and lower, and in the end, even the qualification to continue the circulation will be cancelled......"

Gu Xiaoyu pressed step by step, and when negotiating, she instantly changed from an ordinary little woman to a super strong woman role. What Li Ming said was that there was no chance to back.

"Those who have achieved great things should have courage, Director Li, and now this opportunity is in front of us. Presumably, Director Li also knows the public relations ability of our Tang Dynasty information. Not to mention a novel, as long as we dare to do it in the Tang Dynasty, there is nothing that cannot be done. We are very confident in Tang Dynasty information, as long as your newspaper can cooperate with us to serialize this ethereal journey, I believe that the circulation will definitely increase tenfold or hundredfold in the future. If you miss this opportunity......"

Gu Xiaoyu didn't say anything more, but looked at Li Ming, and then, sighed and shook his head.

"Okay, I'm betting on this."

Thinking of the leader's remarks just now, in the face of the imminent loss of his job, Li Ming slammed the table, slapped the table heavily, and said vigorously.
