Chapter Forty-Nine: Fees

It has been a month and a half since the first newspaper went on sale. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The earth is gradually springing. The warm spring breeze replaced the howling north wind, and a field of slaughter sprouted new green.

According to the schedule of "one copy every half a month", today is the day when the fourth "Mirror" is released. Early in the morning, the roadsides of several main roads in Ruidu were full of people, and everyone was waiting eagerly for a newspaper.

"There are too many people......

Geng San was a member of the "newspaper grabbing" army. He arrived early in the morning, but seeing that there were more and more people, and he looked like a bean sprout, he began to worry: if he didn't grab the newspaper, he wouldn't be able to communicate with the Hun family when he went home!

The number of people on the street is a little smaller now than during the festival. Seeing that many people who were five big and three thick were squeezing forward, Geng Sanyi gritted his teeth and took advantage of his short stature to drill a few gaps, which also pushed his position forward a bit.

Just when everyone was already impatient, I don't know who shouted: "The newspaper delivery is here!" ”

The crowd swooped in one direction like a tidal wave. Some people were in a daze and didn't react for a while, and as a result, they were left behind by a large number of people. When everyone ran away, there were still a few shoes left on the ground, and it was not known whose shoes had been stepped on.

The handsome young man pushing the cart shouted loudly: "Don't worry, everyone, take your time, line up!" ”

There were so many people that his voice was quickly drowned out by the cacophony of shouts. There are countless hands stretched out in front of him, and many singers in later generations will interact with fans at close range, and there may be a gap between that scene and this.

Still, those standing in the front row noticed the difference between this moment and the past. Today's trolley is loaded with a strange pot-like thing with a locked lid on it; In the past, there was only one big bag, and you could just reach out and take out the newspaper.

The young man with the cart shouted without any hurry or annoyance: "Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me!" ”

The scene was still chaotic, but this time the people around him finally heard what he was saying.

The young man smiled and said, "Thank you for your care! Seeing so many people wanting to see it, I was very moved in my heart, and I hated why I only brought 400 copies! Xiao thanked everyone first! ”

With that, he smiled and made a square. Although many people didn't know what he was talking about, they also shouted hello when they saw him saluting.

Xiao Jing, the president and editor-in-chief, was already very depressed when he was regarded as a newspaper deliverer. Being coaxed by others like this, he felt like he had become a sellout again.

But it's important to get down to business. Crying and laughing, he cheered up and said, "There is something I want to tell you about it." Unlike the previous three times, from this time on, the Mirror Newspaper will no longer be given away for free, but will be sold at a price of five cents a piece! ”

What the?

Shouting at the top of your voice a thousand times is not as effective as a sentence of "charge". Xiao Jing's words were passed to the back by the people in the front row, and soon, the crowd changed from the noisy boiling water back to the waveless well water.

"This thief is doing a good business, and he still wants to sell a few pieces of paper for five cents? Phew! ”

Someone scolded loudly and glared at Xiao Jing fiercely, and walked away.

"Although the newspaper is beautiful and useful, if you have to pay for it...... Hey, let's not read it. Big deal, just find someone to borrow it. ”

Although some people really want to read the newspaper, they don't want to pay for it, and in the end they can only walk away with a small abacus.

Xiao Jing was smiling from beginning to end. He had expected this to happen, the only thing he had expected was that fewer people had left than he had expected. Well, that's a tenth less, right?

A few small newspapers embody the labor of many people. Even if you don't expect to make money selling newspapers, you have to make it reflect its due value.

In this era, people have attached great importance to the power of knowledge, but most of their views focus on the level of "the book has its own golden house"; What the Mirror does is to tell them that in addition to the books that will make you a career in office, there are also words that can generate value and delight the body and mind!

Among those who remained, there were still two or three percent who hesitated. However, they soon realized their mistake: more and more people squeezed up from behind, and they were naturally squeezed out of the circle around Xiao Jing, who were still stunned in place.

"I want a newspaper, give me a copy!"

Before the scene became noisy again, a loud voice startled everyone. I saw a thin man rushing to Xiao Jing with excitement on his face and stretching out a trembling hand, which was holding five cents in his palm.

I don't remember looking for a childcare, huh?

This person's attitude was too positive, and there was some pilgrimage-like eagerness in his eyes, which made Xiao Jing a little confused.

Seeing that Xiao Jing didn't react, he said again: "Under Gengsan." I read the first three issues of the newspaper, and I made a little money according to what I said. Originally, this day was very boring, but since I had a mirror newspaper, I had more thoughts. By the way, the last issue of the 'Winter Criminal Case Compilation Commentary' is very good, it reads like a script, I will take it out and read it as soon as I have time......"

Geng San gushed about his reading experience. Not only Xiao Jing, but the people next to him were also stupid.

After being stunned for a while, Xiao Jing came back to his senses. What do die-hard fans mean? That's it! After only three issues of the newspaper were founded, the first loyal readers had already been cultivated!

Thinking of this, Xiao Jing hurriedly said: "Third Brother Geng, thank you!" Our newspaper is just getting started, and your support is just in time for us. In the future, the Mirror Newspaper will continue to be published, and will strive not to let everyone wait for half a month to better give back to readers! ”

As he spoke, he opened the lock and took out a newspaper, and solemnly handed it to Geng San with both hands: "In the future, please continue to support the Mirror Daily!" ”

"Definitely!" Geng San, who took the newspaper, was overjoyed and wanted to say something, but was squeezed to the back by the surging crowd.

"I want all the newspapers you have here!" Without saying a word, a short and stubby man slapped a piece of silver in front of Xiao Jing: "It's only a few hundred copies, this silver is more than three taels, it's enough!" ”

People nearby immediately looked at him. According to the calculation of one tael of silver for 1,400 coins, it only takes more than one tael of silver to buy Xiao Jing's newspapers. Nowadays, someone has paid nearly three times the price, and he must not be able to buy it, right?

After all, who can't get along with money?

Just when the man was proud and determined to win, Xiao Jing suddenly said loudly: "This official, each person can only buy one copy of the newspaper, no matter how much money is paid!" ”
