Chapter 83: Salvaging the Stone Lion

Yao Ji Newspaper, Yao Yongwang looked at the sales situation in the past half a month, his face couldn't help but darken, now the daily income is getting lower and lower, only a few times, for this income, he can't figure out why.

At this time, Cao Yan walked in, handed him the painted Hokage manuscript, and said, "President, this is today's manuscript. ”

Yao Yongwang directly crumpled the manuscript and threw it on the ground, and said angrily: "What kind of painting do you draw, no one will read it if you draw it, look at the cartoon you draw, it's really bad." ”

In the face of this ridicule, Cao Yan didn't say anything, after all, he really didn't draw much, and he couldn't compare with the Hokage updated in the Bianjing Daily.

Yao Yongwang looked at him and said, "Now the sales of newspapers are so poor, what is the reason?" ”

"I think it's due to two reasons, first, there isn't much news in the city every day, and the reports of the two newspapers are similar, and second, the updated Hokage of Bianjing Daily has attracted a lot of people, so why should people spend two copies to buy two similar newspapers."

Cao Yan spoke his mind.

"Is there anything we can do to make our sales better?"

Yao Yongwang opened his mouth to ask, now he is also in a hurry to go to the doctor, and he can't stand it if he loses so much.

"Unless we can find something new that everyone will enjoy, there's nothing going to change the situation."

Cao Yan also replied.

Yao Yongwang pondered for a while and said: "Now it seems that there are only two ways before the situation gets better, layoffs and salary cuts. ”

Hearing this, Cao Yan also hurriedly said, "President, didn't you say that you won't do this in the next few months?" Otherwise, people wouldn't have jumped ship. ”

Yao Yongwang spread his hands and said: "I didn't expect the situation to become like this, so I have to do this, notify it, and if you don't want to do it, just leave." ”

Cao Yan didn't say anything more, turned around and walked out, announcing the news to everyone.

After knowing the news, everyone was also very angry and shouted one after another.

"He doesn't talk much, he doesn't have any credibility at all."

"If he hadn't paid us such a high salary, we wouldn't have come here at all."

"That's it, we did a good job in Bianjing Daily, now let us leave, why!"

In a tavern, Su Hao was drinking with a group of friends.

One of them said with dissatisfaction on his face: "Brother Su, the current situation of Yao Ji Daily is not optimistic, it is estimated that it will not last long, and the Bianjing Daily is thriving, we must give them a little color to see." ”

"Yes, we must let them know that we are good."

Many people also chimed in.

"Okay, let's go."

Su Hao also got up and led everyone towards the Bianjing Daily.

At the newspaper office, Zhang Heng was busy drawing the manuscript of the Hokage, and now he would never lend the manuscript to anyone.

At this time, Sixteen walked in and said, "Young Master, those scholars are shouting at the door again, saying that they want to see you. ”

"If you want to see me, okay, I'll go meet them and see what tricks they want."

Zhang Heng also got up and walked outside.

When he came to the door, he saw that Su Hao and the others were gathering together, and he also asked, "What do you want to do this time?" ”

Su Hao stood up, looked at him and said, "You have also read some books, we want to compete with you." ”

Zhang Heng hurriedly said: "If it's better than any poetry couplet, forget it!" I really don't want to bully you, I saw a report today, the Huang family who live by the river, ten years ago the thousands of catties of stone lions in front of their house were washed into the river by the flood, and now they are preparing to fish it up, but they haven't found it yet, let's compare who can find the stone lion? ”

"Okay, no problem, without further ado, let's go now."

Su Hao also agreed without hesitation, and then the group set off towards the river.

An hour later, the group came to the river, and saw that many people were gathering by the river.

Su Hao walked over, saluted an old man dressed in gorgeous clothes, and said, "Master Huang, has the stone lion been found?" ”

Huang Liang shook his head and said, "Not yet, I'm going to send someone to find it again." ”

Su Hao opened his mouth and said: "You can let people look for it in the depths of the river, the stone lion is so heavy, the river will definitely not be able to wash away the stone lion."

Huang Liang also felt reasonable, and immediately asked people to do it.

Zhang Heng found a place to sit and looked like he was watching a good show.

At this moment, a few horseback riders in the distance were galloping over, it was Qin Luo and several of her maids.

Zhang Heng looked at this woman coming, and his face couldn't help but darken, she was really unreasonable when she was unreasonable.

"Why are you here?"

After dismounting, after Qin Luo saw Zhang Heng, he also looked like he wanted to smoke him.

"I'm here to bet with a bunch of boring scholars, how did you get here?"

Zhang Heng replied casually.

After Qin Luo inquired with the others about what was going on, he said, "I'm riding a horse, and I came over after seeing that there were many people, those scholars were busy looking for stone lions, why didn't you move?" And you made the bet. ”

Zhang Heng spread his hands and said, "If they can find me to perform for them on the spot, this matter has to rely on their brains." ”

Qin Luo glared at him and said, "Brain? Don't think you'll have a brain for a few poems. ”

Zhang Heng smiled slightly and said, "Since you also doubt my ability, what if I can find the stone lion?" ”

"If you can find a stone lion, I will worship you as a teacher"

Qin Luo also looked confident.

"Okay, that's it."

Zhang Heng also happily agreed.

A few hours later, Su Hao saw that everyone had found ten miles downstream, but there was still no trace of the stone lion, and his face couldn't help but show a trace of solemnity.

At this time, Zhang Heng walked over and said to him, "How is it?" It's gone, isn't it? ”

Su Hao snorted coldly and said, "Give me a little more time, I will definitely be able to find it." ”

Zhang Heng waved his hand and said, "No need, you can't find it in your lifetime, let people go to the middle and upper reaches to find it." ”

Hearing this, Su Hao also showed a hint of ridicule on his face, and said, "Go upstream to find it?" You're not going to be stupid, are you? How did a stone lion run upstream? ”

Qin Luo on the side also opened his mouth and said to Zhang Heng: "You won't be sick and rush to the doctor!" I have never seen a stone lion run up on its own with long legs. ”

"So you don't have brains! There are some things that you can't think of, so I'll let you see them for a long time. ”

After that, Zhang Heng informed the others to go upstream to find them, intending to give these people a long insight.
