Chapter 245: Chongyang

Two quarters of an hour later, after ending the conversation with Lin Yongfu, Jia Wei went to Yijin to discuss matters with the editor-in-chief Kong Li. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The editorial office of Yanjing Morning Post occupies the east and west wings of the first entrance, the east wing is the editing office room, and the west wing is the recording office room.

Kong Li's office is separated from the large office room in the east wing, which is used as an independent editor-in-chief office.

This is similar to Jia Wei, Jia Wei's office is separated from the meeting room, as the president's office.

From the moon door through the back hall to the first entrance, and then from the verandah, Jia Wei entered the east chamber, and after greeting the editors who were working with a smile, he knocked on Kong Li's office.

"Come in." Kong Li's unhurried voice came from inside.

Jia Wei pushed the door in, Kong Li, who was sitting behind the bookcase, raised his eyes, the two of them looked at each other, Kong Li got up and said with a smile, "How did President Jia come?" If there is something, summon Kong to go over. ”

"It's not so particular, it's more convenient for me to come directly." Jia Wei waved his hand, pulled over a chair, and sat down in front of the desk.

Kong Li also smiled silently, went over and poured a cup of tea, and put it in front of Jia Wei.

Through these two or three months of frequent work contact, in fact, the two have become quite familiar, Kong Li, who is in his early thirties, and Jia Wei, who is 14 years old, have almost become a pair of old friends.

Jia Wei's various talents in running a newspaper made Kong Li admire him, and he did not regard him as a teenager.

Kong Li's profound knowledge and good talent also made Jia Wei respect.

At this time, the two exchanged pleasantries for a short time, and when Kong Li sat down again, Jia Wei opened his mouth to talk about business, "...... Editor-in-chief Kong, the newspaper is about to be released, but the date of the first issue, we have not yet determined, if it is in October, it doesn't matter, you can do it any day, but in September, there is the Chung Yeung Festival, this is a big festival, we have to think about it......"

"President Jia is right." Kong Li nodded approvingly, "It's not easy to ignore the Double Ninth Festival...... It's just that if you want to put the official date of publication on the Chung Yeung Festival, the content of the newspaper will be very different, at least the front page has to focus on the Chung Yeung Festival......"

Saying that, Kong Li's expression became solemn, "...... President Jia, this matter is not small, according to Kong's ugly opinion, the date of the founding of the journal must be determined as soon as possible, and there can be no hesitation, there are only ten days before the Double Ninth Festival, and it is uncertain to drag it out for a few more days, and the other dates are nothing, and the first issue of the Double Ninth Festival is really going to be decided, and the editorial department has no time to do a lot of work. ”

When Jia Wei heard this, he picked up the teacup and drank two sips, and was silent.

After a while, Fang said, "What Editor-in-Chief Kong said is also in my consideration...... I hope that the Chung Yeung Festival will be launched, but the Chung Yeung Festival is too short from the current date, and the distribution department is now fine, anyway, it will be issued at a loss and distributed for free, but there is no need to think about it...... But I don't know if the Liaison Department and the Printing Workshop are fully prepared, so I'll ask again later before I can make a decision......"

Seeing Jia Wei say this, Kong Li didn't say much, but turned to some important work of the editorial department.

After a while, Jia Wei got up and went to the printing workshop workshop.

There were about 20 boxes piled up on the ground, and the craftsmen were taking turns carrying these heavy boxes to the storeroom inside, all of them sweating profusely.

Xu Tian himself personally commanded the transportation there, and when he saw Jia Wei coming, he couldn't help but say excitedly, "President Jia, you came just in time, our copper movable type is finally back!" With this batch of copper movable type, a well-printed newspaper is not a problem! ”

"Oh, are these boxes filled with movable copper type?" Jia Wei kicked one of the boxes, also with great interest.

At that time, Xu Tian was invited to come to print the newspaper, and Xu Tian put forward several conditions, one of which was to ask Jia Wei to prepare copper movable type.

Compared with wooden movable type, the printing effect of copper movable type is much better, and there is almost no problem of preservation and deformation.

This batch of movable copper type was ordered from a large foundry in the northern city, and the price was very expensive, hundreds of times more expensive than wooden movable type.

The whole batch of copper movable type has more than 100,000 words, after all, when typesetting, some commonly used words will be used in a layout to hundreds, such as the word "zhi", so all the commonly used words are a lot of casting, less than dozens, more than hundreds, even extraordinary words, are also cast a few more, in case of emergency.

"Isn't it?" Xu Tian also kicked the wooden box under his feet, "President Jia, this is a good thing, with contemptible craftsmanship and copper movable type...... Your Yanjing Morning Post's well-printed performance is certainly unique in the capital, and no newspaper can match it......"

"That's fine, it's up to Mr. Xu to do it next."

Jia Wei said with a smile, but he was slandered in his heart.

This Xu Tian is simply a printing maniac, clearly holding his silver coins and ordering copper movable type to fulfill his wishes.

Later, through many understandings, he learned that only the palace printing workshop, as well as a few printing workshops specializing in printing exquisite books, would spend a lot of money to order copper movable type.

And Xu Tian actually took the preparation of copper movable type as a condition for cooperating with him, which is simply unreasonable!

Thinking about the huge amount of silver coins that minted this batch of copper movable type, and then looking at Xu Tian's triumphant smiling face at this moment, Jia Wei couldn't wait to kick this guy a few times like kicking a box.

Of course, the dissatisfaction is only against Xu Tian, who succeeded in the conspiracy, and for the copper movable type, although the price is expensive, Jia Wei is still willing to spend this money.

The Yenching Morning Post must be well-made, which is one of his tenets.

This must not only be reflected in the content, but also in the printing, just like a beauty, but also have good clothes to set off the temperament.

All in all, the money was well spent.

The two stood in the shed until the craftsmen carried the last box to the warehouse, and Jia Wei motioned for Xu Tian to come out of the shed.

It was too noisy in the shed, and it was inconvenient to speak, so when he arrived outside the shed, Jia Wei immediately struck the iron while it was hot, "Mr. Xu, now that this batch of copper movable type is back, everything is all right here...... We should be able to start work in early September, but can you tell me if there's anything else to prepare......

"That's it! It's all right! The copper movable type came back, which made Xu Tian extremely excited for a while, and his voice was much higher than usual, and then he said without thinking, "President Jia, don't say that in early September, you let me start work tonight, and there is no problem!" ”

"Okay, Mr. Xu, with your words, I will be relieved!"

Jia Wei smiled and patted him on the shoulder, finally satisfied.

After agreeing with Xu Tian, Jia Wei turned around and returned to Erjin, and asked people to pass on Ye Mingcheng's return.

At present, his advertising department is in the upper room of the second entrance, Lin Yongfu's distribution department is located in the east chamber of the second entrance, and Ye Mingcheng's external relations department is in the west chamber of the second entrance.

However, Ye Mingcheng's group of people have been scattered outside to carry out outreach work, and there is never anyone in the office of the External Relations Department.

Jia Wei wanted to find Ye Mingcheng, so he had to order someone to go outside to find it back.

On weekdays, he was not in such a hurry, but the official date of the journal really needs to be set as soon as possible, which is the top priority at present, and he really can't wait, so he has to urgently recall Ye Mingcheng, who is busy outside.

PS: I only learned in the past two days that this book is also in the creation and book city, which is really unheard of...... Because this book was first published at the starting point, when I registered an account, I didn't register a QQ account, so I can't manage the book review area over there, sorry, sorry, here, I would like to express my sincere thanks to all the book friends who voted for the reward collection in Genesis and Book City, and I hope there will be more support!
