Chapter 54: The First Edition of the Newspaper
Sun Jingxiang was quietly reading a book in the yard, and suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, looked up, and saw that it was her grandfather who walked in, she also hurriedly greeted her, and said, "Grandpa, how do you feel at work today?" β
Sun Mo sat down and said with a smile: "I feel very fulfilled today, which makes me feel that I am not old yet." β
"You didn't embarrass them today, did you?"
Sun Jingxiang poured a cup of tea and handed it over.
"How do you talk about this girl, I am also doing my part, today is not too smooth, there are no problems, today I want to rest early, and there will be a lot of going back tomorrow to deal with."
Sun Mo sighed, then got up and went back to the room to rest.
Looking at the smile on his face, Sun Jingxiang was also very comforted, as long as her grandfather could have a good time.
In the early morning of the next day, at the gate of Shengping Society, a group of people were waiting anxiously, stretching their necks and poking inside.
"Why haven't you come out yet? I'm dying. β
"Brother, don't worry! It's useless if you're in a hurry. β
"Of course it's urgent! I'm going to finish sending out the newspaper and find another job. β
"It's exciting to think about! The more newspapers we send out, the more we earn, and I heard that we can earn several times a month! β
At this moment the gate opened, and Tie Shan pushed a cart of newspapers from the inside, and began to distribute them to those outside, who were recruited to distribute newspapers in the city, and the remuneration was according to the number of newspapers sent.
After receiving the newspaper, many of them immediately left and went to their respective areas.
"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, a certain lady tried to elope with someone late at night, and the man was seriously injured by his family."
On one street, a man was holding a newspaper and shouting at it.
"Bring me one, how much?"
One of them walked over and asked.
"One penny"
"Okay, here you go."
The man took the newspaper and read it.
Immediately after that, someone gathered around and gathered to see it together.
"That young lady is so shameless, she actually eloped behind her family's back."
"That's it, but the man is also miserable, and he can't get out of bed after being beaten."
"I look at the comics in the back of this, and it feels good!"
"Don't squeeze it, go buy one yourself! It's also not expensive. β
After a while, a bunch of people gathered around, all crowded to read the newspaper.
At the same time, in the teahouses and restaurants in Bianjing City, many people are holding newspapers and discussing the news enthusiastically, and the poems and cartoons on them are also very lively for a while.
In the imperial garden of the palace, Zhao Gou was holding a newspaper and reading the poem on the newspaper in his mouth: "On the afternoon of hoeing day, sweat drops are under the soil, who knows that the Chinese food on the plate, the grains are hard, this poem has exhausted the hard work of the peasants!" I didn't expect this Zhang Heng to have some talent and be able to write such poems. β
Qing Yu said while looking at the newspaper: "Father, he has a lot of things in his head, such as this comic, the drawing is also very expressive!" β
"But so, this is much more wonderful than the villain books that the ministers have come in."
Zhao Gou looked at the Naruto published in the newspaper, and he was also fascinated for a while.
"Father, in the future, the newspaper will select a poem to publish in the newspaper every day, with famous comments, father, you can write a poem to submit."
Qingyu smiled and came up with the idea.
"Wait a minute! I'll look at other news, this newspaper is really a good thing, it's very convenient to understand the voices of the people, for example, this report, it's about people complaining that the price of rice is too high now, and it seems that I have to go to the court to find out about this problem. β
Zhao Gou looked at the newspaper intently, and his expression was very focused.
Seeing this, Qingyu also breathed a sigh of relief, she had been worried that her father would have a bad impression of the newspaper, but now it seems that it is fine.
In the evening, everyone in the newspaper office gathered, after all, today is the first day of the official operation of the newspaper.
Zhang Heng walked out with a piece of paper, looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, the sales volume of the newspaper came out today, do you want to know?" β
"Think"
Everyone replied in unison.
"Today, there are a total of 300 percent of profits, and nearly 100,000 copies of the newspaper have been sold."
Zhang Heng is also very satisfied with this data, but this newspaper has just opened, and people are looking at the freshness, and the follow-up will have to look at the stable data.
"100,000 copies, 300 copies."
When Sun Mo heard this data, the whole person couldn't help but be stunned, it was 300 yuan a day, this was his income for several years, and the newspaper earned it in one day, isn't it nearly 10,000 yuan in a month, it feels incredible when you think about it, this is too profitable.
Zhang Heng looked at everyone and continued: "Everyone has worked hard today, you should also go back early to rest, and at the end of the month, we will go out for dinner again, and at the same time wrap a big red envelope for everyone." β
"Thank you, President"
When they heard this, they were very happy, and they went away.
Half an hour later, when Sun Mo returned to the mansion, he saw a group of people dressed as scholars blocking the door as soon as he arrived at the door.
Then he got out of the carriage and said to him, "Why are you gathered here?" β
"Old Sun, this is a poem I wrote, you can show it, it will definitely be very popular if it is published in the newspaper."
"Hello Sun, take a look at my poems, I promise you will like it."
"Here are some small souvenirs I brought you, please be sure to take them."
"Editor-in-chief, how much money can I get a poem in a newspaper?
Sun Mo looked at these people who came around, and after knowing their purpose, he walked directly into the mansion and ignored them.
At this time, Sun Jingxiang came over and said while supporting him: "Grandpa, many people outside want you to see their poems, and someone has been guarding them since the morning." β
Sun Mo smiled and said: "The general editor in the newspaper is my name, if I casually let people publish poems in the newspaper, then everyone will say that I have old eyes and dizziness, I don't want me to be so old and lose my old age, but not any poem can be reported." β
Sun Jingxiang opened her mouth and said, "Grandpa, several of your protΓ©gΓ©s came to visit you today, and they also brought a lot of gifts. β
"When I left from the Academy of Literature and History before, none of my protΓ©gΓ©s came to see me off, but now I know that I am the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, and one by one they have come to me, I will go to rest first, I will be busy tomorrow, and there are many manuscripts waiting for me!"
Sun Mo shook his head, he had already deeply understood the warmth and coldness of human feelings and the cold state of the world.
"Then I'll have the gifts returned."
Sun Jingxiang looked at her grandfather and now felt that he had suddenly returned to his youth, full of vitality, and she was also very relieved.
