Chapter 354: Beggar Friend
"Lang Jun."
Seeing the carriage, Liu Bo hurriedly greeted him.
"I heard you've got a small typeface?" Zhou Jinyan jumped out of the carriage and asked with a smile.
"It's not too difficult, it's just a little time-consuming."
Liu Bo invited him in, "Lang Jun said that the quality is also good, so we spent more time." ”
Zhou Jinyan looked at the character mold that Liu Bo took out, "Yes, seaweed, there is a reward." ”
Liu Bo said happily: "Thank you Lang Jun for the reward." ”
"You deserve it."
"Uncle Liu, the reward is in the carriage, you let people take it." Seaweed shouted outside.
Liu Bo sweated and hurriedly gave a look to a guy next to him.
"Uncle Liu, look at the layout of this newspaper of mine."
Zhou Jinyan handed the layout of the newspaper to Uncle Liu, and then took out the newspaper again, "This is a newspaper designed by us, and someone will write articles in the future, and then publish them to sell." What do you think? ”
Uncle Liu is also literate, and his brain is better than ordinary people, and after only a few glances, he discovered the huge business opportunities in this newspaper.
"It's a good thing," Uncle Liu said excitedly: "Could it be that this is an upgraded version of Di Bao?" ”
"Okay," Zhou Jinyan looked at him unexpectedly, "You're right, it's like our movable type printing, which is also an upgraded version of engraving printing." You said that in the future, this newspaper, can we make a lot of money? ”
Uncle Liu stroked his short beard and said with a smile: "We will definitely make money, and there will definitely be many people who will come to us to advertise and let us give them publicity. Transmit. ”
Zhou Jinyan. Thumbs up, "That's right, the problem now is the font mold, I have already designed the version, and you look at the design of the rest, and we will slowly streamline it in the future." ”
Liu Bo frowned and said: "This is divided into four sections, and when our newspaper becomes famous in the future, where will the advertisements be published?" ”
"Here."
Zhou Jinyan pointed to the middle of the newspaper, "Here is the empty space left by the two pages, and any news can be sent inside." ”
Liu Bo is worthy of being a veteran, and put forward some opinions, Zhou Jinyan nodded frequently, such as the size of a piece of news, it can't always be based on typesetting.
Zhou Jinyan humbly accepted his opinion, and finally found that Liu Bo didn't need him to worry about it at all, as long as there was news, he could typeset it better. ”
"I'll do it to you in the future."
Zhou Jinyan said: "You are in charge of several other stores." If the word mold hasn't been done yet, it's up to you. ”
Liu Bo didn't have any mood swings, just nodded.
"The general template of typesetting, someone will send it in the future, and you Shengpingfang is responsible for the first typesetting, which can be appropriately increased or decreased, and then after copying, the copied other newspapers will be sent to other printing shops for printing."
"Okay."
Liu Bo nodded solemnly.
Zhou Jinyan breathed a sigh of relief, "If there is any difficulty, you can tell me directly, starting tomorrow, Chang'an Newspaper will be officially established, the first newspaper of Datang, and officially published." ”
The simplicity of the matter was somewhat unexpected by Zhou Jinyan, but it was reasonable to think about it.
"I'll go back first, you can prepare enough newspapers, by the way, let's go according to five hundred copies."
"Isn't it a bit much?" Liu Bo groaned.
"Not much, right?"
Zhou Jinyan said that in the future, it is estimated that there will be at least 1,000 copies per day, and now it is only 500 copies at the beginning.
"Then try." Liu Bo said: "Anyway, we can't sell it, we can also be low. price to sell. ”
"By the way, who's responsible for selling the newspaper?"
Zhou Jinyan patted his head, thought of it in all aspects, and forgot about it.
"I'm not sure about this yet, let me think about it."
Zhou Jinyan remembered that the newsstand and the printing shop could sell the newspaper by itself, but this was obviously announced in the early stage. It's not enough.
I'm going to try it with the Wang family soon, so Xuan. If you pass it on, it may not be effective in a month.
"Lang Jun, I know someone, maybe I can ask him to sell it on my behalf."
"What for?" Zhou Jinyan was stunned and said: "What good pin does he have. How to sell it? ”
"I know a beggar friend, maybe I can ask him for help, he has quite a few people under him."
"Beggars?"
Zhou Jinyan was stunned for a moment and thought for a while, "In this way, you let him find some people, and it doesn't take much, one or twenty is good, clean them up, and use them exclusively for our newspaper in the future. ”
Liu Bo smiled: "What is the reward, I think they may not need it, just be able to enjoy the food." ”
"Okay, you can just watch it, and take 10% of the profits of the printing shop every month, and set aside it for you and those people to eat."
"Thank you, Lang-kun."
Zhou Jinyan took Yueji back to the house, and after extracting the articles of those people, he took a general look at them, and found that the dialogue was still a little stiff, and there was a feeling of dazzling writing.
"Ah Qi, you go and call them all to the courtyard for me."
Ah Qi whispered: "Lang Jun, can't they write it?" ”
"What is this?"
Zhou Jinyan said unhappily: "Many people have read it for a few days. books, you can only know a few words, you look at these writings, and expect them to be able to understand them? ”
Ah Qi laughed twice.
"Remember, we are facing all the people who can recognize a little word, not those talented women who chew words every day, the style of writing should be white, how simple to express, how simple to express."
"But that's simple enough."
Ah Qi defended in a low voice, "If it is more concise, some people will definitely say that our writing has no substance, and it will implicate us to the point of looking down on our newspaper and saying that we have no culture." ”
"Who are those people? Talented and talented women, or those officials who don't eat grains? ”
Zhou Jinyan felt that Ah Qi's thinking had to change, "Ah Qi, you have to remember that we are not scholars now, let alone officials. Money is our primary goal, that is to say, we can not scruple about the opinions of talented people and women. ”
"They like the wind and snow, we write these every day, will they buy it? Those officials like to watch singing and dancing, let's write this, will they buy it? ”
"Ah Qi, remember our earnings. Who does the main crowd of money come from! ”
Zhou Jinyan got up and patted him on the shoulder, "Go and call them to me, maybe you don't need to understand now, just obey. Just do it from the command. ”
"Yes, Lang Jun!"
In the yard.
Zhou Jinyan looked at the group of people standing in four rows, and raised the stack of manuscript papers in his hand, "Everyone, I think it is necessary to say a few words to you. ”
"Zhou Juma, you say."
At the front, a young man who seemed particularly clever hurriedly said.
"Who wrote this manuscript?"
Zhou Jinyan took out one from it, "The whole article is also this one, by the way, it is written about the young children in the south of the city bullying the old man." The latest chapter of "Hundred Plating" mixed in the Tang Dynasty to be a horse claw book house" is free to read for the first time.
