The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty

Of course, it is not necessarily true to say that there are no worries at all, one is the speed of delivering the newspaper, how quickly to get it to the readers, this is a problem.

The second is the expansion in other cities, which is also related to speed.

After all, newspapers are factual and factual. Although it is impossible to report once a day like later generations, if the days are too far apart, the freshness will be lost.

However, there is no way around it. The problem of transportation, for a long time, will become a shackle that restricts the development of the repetition.

Next, everyone discussed the issue of the re-reporting layout.

A separate version of the doctrine of the great Confucians is certain, which can pull the hearts of the scholars of the world. Some of the policies of the various prefectures in Fuzhou, especially the Governor's Palace, should have a fixed layout.

Then there are some news from the literati in Fujian Province, which is the norm and can also occupy a page. There are also advertisements for some businesses, so the more space the better......

In such a rough calculation, six layouts are more appropriate. During special periods, it can be temporarily increased.

In the absence of networks and competition, profitability is predictable.

Once the quality keeps up and the sales go up, the cost is high in the early stage, and each newspaper earns a penny or even two pennies in the later stage, which is a small meaning.

Tens of thousands of copies are printed in each issue, and the total amount goes up, thinking about it, it is actually quite fast to rely on newspapers to make money in Daming.

After discussing for a long time, Qin Haoming finally decided to add a long-term special advertising page and start advertising his products first.

Add an official advertising page to praise the deeds of Wu Feng and others, who are the sons of the country, and I believe that with the Ming boy, it should be able to absorb some young talents.

Official advertising does not care whether it makes money or not, but for political needs and guides the right way of thinking.

In the blink of an eye, the eighth day of December came.

Under the leadership of Qin Haoming, the chief officials of various prefectures in Fuzhou, as well as the current Confucian who was invited from all over the world, in the noisy sound of gongs and drums, the Ming Dynasty officially began trial operation.

On that day, because of Qin Haoming's strong support, the official yamen in Fuzhou was as big as the chief official and as small as the scribe, and basically everyone had one copy.

In addition, the members of the Restoration Society who gathered in Fuzhou City, as well as the scholars who had heard the news a long time ago, each had a copy and was quick to see.

Compared with these personal sales, Qin Haoming is more concerned about sales in the real market.

Because it was a trial operation, there would not be too many areas for the first issue of the newspaper, mainly in some surrounding hotels, brothels, bookstores and other public places.

After Qin Haoming announced the resumption of business, the first batch of Ming resumption reports, in the hands of the people Qin Haoming had prepared for a long time, began to set off one after another.

Before leaving, everyone ate hot rice porridge and two large meat buns in the newspaper office. I carried newspapers in my backpack and umbrellas to protect myself from the sun and rain, and went out one by one.

Most of these people are poor children in their teens.

Ergou is one of them, as a little beggar who is only thirteen years old and supports his seriously ill father by begging every day, happiness comes too suddenly.

After Qin Haoming knew about his situation, he received special care. not only took his father to the government office for treatment, but also quietly increased his salary by 30% and transferred him to the third group of newspaper delivery as the team leader.

Behind each group there was a small carriage full of newspapers, and if the newspaper was delivered, they could go directly to the carriage and pick it up.

Even before the destination arrived, there were seats on the side of the carriage, and the people who delivered the newspaper had railings on both sides, and each of them got on the carriage and sat down, putting away his umbrella.

The old man who was driving the carriage flicked his whip lightly, and the carriage moved steadily. It seems that it is particularly conspicuous on the streets of Fuzhou in this young horse.

After turning a few blocks to the left, the driver shouted to the messenger next to the car, "The first stop is the City God Temple, and you are ready to get off the bus." After sending it to this neighborhood, wait for the carriage to come back at this intersection.

Governor Qin said that this public carriage is not accepting outsiders for the time being, and it is its own. When the time comes, everyone will ride back together! ”

"Got it, Uncle Wang." All the newspaper deliverers replied, and Sanmao was the loudest.

Delivering the newspaper only takes up the time in the morning, about three taels of silver a month.

Qin Du kindly gave more than thirty percent, which is about five taels. After delivering the newspaper, I went to the newspaper office to help, and this month's income was about ten taels.

This job must not be lost by Ergou. The family, especially the seriously ill father, all rely on this income to support.

got out of the car, as the leader of the three groups, Ergou began to assign tasks to everyone.

But because I said it beforehand, I just repeat it. Each person will send fifty newspapers, two newspapers per family, and they can only be delivered before the hour.

Ergou, as the team leader, wanted to send eighty families, and came to a hotel first.

He bowed to the guy who opened the door and said, "This brother, I'm here to deliver the newspaper." Daming re-report, said in advance! ”

"Oh, that's what happened, the shopkeeper said. Then put it on the table! ”

The guy is quite polite, he bows his head in a word, and he is also a real person.

Ergou entered, put a newspaper on each table, thought about it, took out ten more, and handed it to the man. Said politely:

"Brother, leave ten at the counter, if anyone looks at it, please explain it a little. Thank you very much! ”

"Okay, got it."

Sent down like this, Ergou is very serious, and he has a lot of eyes, obviously there are more places to send than others, but he is diligent in his hands and feet, and the first one is sent in advance.

I stood at the original pick-up and drop-off intersection early and waited for the carriage to return.

In this way, it is basically the entire city of Fuzhou to be covered. The rest is to see how the market reacts.

In the end, Qin Haoming still underestimated his influence and the power of revenge.

The people of Fuzhou City are in different moods, or they pay for it alone, or a few people look at it together, and they have picked up the Ming Dynasty to find out.

Before noon, 10,000 copies of the newspaper were sold out to the people of Fuzhou, and even booksellers from other places came to order them.

Some Fuzhou bookstore owners who signed contracts as long as they didn't have many goods before, tasted the sweetness and hurriedly urged the newspaper to buy goods.

As a last resort, Zhang Pu hurriedly ordered to call back the printing employees who went home to rest with double wages, and worked overtime on the spot!

The next day, it was just dawn.

Looking at the newly printed newspaper, people send it in all directions. There was no peace in the newspaper office, and the people who came to visit, the students, and the celebrities who came to visit broke through the threshold of the newspaper.

things, everything is moving in a favorable form.

It's just that none of this has anything to do with Qin Haoming, he handed over everything to Zhang Pu, Yang Tingshu and others to deal with. His focus is on more important things.
