Chapter 352 The newspaper sells well
The next morning, after the printing workshop rushed to produce it overnight, 80,000 copies had been printed in the morning, and Zhang San did not wait any longer, and immediately loaded the 80,000 copies into the truck and pulled them to the newspaper office first. There is also a newsstand prepared by Yixing Hutchison in the city.
More than a hundred newsboys were waiting at the newspaper office. Zhang San arranged for one person to distribute a blanket, and then sold twenty newspapers first, so that more than 100 children could run through the inner city, and then Yixing Hutchison also recruited a small newspaper boy to be responsible for delivery.
In this way, after eating in the morning, the shouts of the newsboys sounded everywhere in the capital, Zhang San was waiting in the newspaper office, and he was also very worried about whether the newspaper could be sold Zhang San, in case the loss of money was small, and many people would see the joke.
In fact, at the beginning, Zhang San also thought about marketing strategies, such as giving away a week for free first, so that everyone can develop the habit of reading, and then start charging, so that the sales of the newspaper will inevitably be much better than now.
But later, when I inquired, many people in the Great Song Dynasty found the habit of reading newspapers, but they were all in the form of cheat sheets, and the price of Zhang San's newspaper was so low, it was equivalent to picking up a bargain, and according to Zhang San's estimate, it should not be sold.
But having said that, when it was really time to sell, Zhang San was still very nervous, and it wasn't until a quarter of an hour later that the first newsboy came back to pay the money and then pick up the newspaper, and Zhang San's heart was completely let go.
After the children all sold out the newspapers and came back to pick them up, Zhang San looked at the fewer and fewer newspapers, and then put his mind at ease, Zhang San arranged for others to watch here, ready to go to the street to see how the newspapers were selling.
Walking on the street not far away, I saw a scholar-like person reading the newspaper, Zhang San didn't bother, and continued to walk forward, not far from a teahouse, I saw that everyone was surrounding the city in a few small circles were discussing, Zhang San walked in and saw that these people were reading the newspaper.
Zhang San also sat down, asked for a pot of tea, and was ready to listen to what these people had to say, but he didn't expect much discussion, and suddenly a newsboy on the street shouted to sell newspapers and ran forward, and someone in the teahouse immediately went out and shouted: "Child, don't go, come, bring me a copy." ”
At this time, a few more people also went to pay for it, this one also wanted a copy, and that one also bought one, and this one teahouse sold seven or eight copies, and the newsboy saw that no one bought any more and ran away quickly.
Zhang San drank tea and waited for a long time before someone said, "Who runs this newspaper?" ”
Another person said: "So that you know, this newspaper is run by the official family, you see that there are no four words in the Great Song Daily, this is the official royal pen written by himself, you see there is an introduction here." ”
Another smacked his tongue and said, "So the news is all true?" ”
One of the people on the side also put down the newspaper and said: "Needless to say, for example, if you look at this news, the Yellow River has been diverted to the north, the south is almost cut off, the grain harvest in the north is in sight, and the people have passed the disaster year safely, do you know this news?" I've just come back from the north, and I've seen it with my own eyes. ”
Another tea drinker said: "Indeed, I have also heard about it, and this, the Son of Heaven ascended the throne of Runan and is now auspicious, I heard this from a classmate." ”
A scholar flipped through the newspaper and said: "So many newspapers only sell 12 texts, the Son of Heaven really thinks about my readers, you see that there is not only news of the imperial examination, but also articles of Confucianism, if you buy a book, I am afraid it will be more than 30 texts." ”
The first person to speak said, "That's it! The Son of Heaven is constantly virtuous and political, can this newspaper still make money from us scholars? ”
An old man sighed: "This is really the world of sage, scholars don't go out to know everything in the world, and this thing will come true from today." ”
A middle-aged man who was a little wooden asked, "How can this newspaper know about the world?" ”
The scholar sneered: "Da Song Daily? What is the meaning of daily newspapers? One day's news, I just asked the newsboy, the Great Song Daily is a copy a day, and every day does not bring the same. Don't you see the date on it? ”
A scholar said happily: "Look, this poem minus Mulan, isn't this the masterpiece of Zhang Ce Gongzi at the Bianhe Word Conference?" This time, Zhang Ce Gongzi is afraid that he will be famous all over the world. ”
Zhang San listened for a while, paid the money and began to walk out, walked to the street, met a few newsboys shouting, and also saw someone holding a newspaper and looking down, Zhang San nodded with satisfaction, and continued to move forward, until he walked to the side of Weiyuan Dart Bureau, there were people selling newspapers and reading newspapers along the way.
Zhang San also went to Weiyuan Dart Bureau because he needed to arrange for the sale of newspapers, although it was said that every place could rely on the post station to sell some newspapers, but relatively speaking, the bureaucracy had little incentive to carry out propaganda.
Zhang San now hopes that Weiyuan Dart Bureau can take on part of the newspaper sales, the business of Weiyuan Dart Bureau has developed very quickly recently, the last time Huo Old Man came to report like Zhang San, the first trip back to Tokyo to the Daimyo Mansion has arrived in the capital, Huo Old Man came to ask which dart road to open newly.
Zhang San considered that the northwest might sell a large number of medicinal liquor in the future, so this time the northwest was opened first, and the dart road in Shandong could also begin to expand at the same time, these two sides together, the northwest is relatively desolate and less populated, but all the way can be along the Yellow River upstream, and then along the Jing River and Wei River to reach.
In this way, the possibility of being robbed by horse bandits and bandits on most of the roads is avoided, and the Weiyuan Dart Bureau of water transportation has also accumulated a lot of experience in the past six months and recruited a group of sailors, so relying on water transportation to open up the dart road in the northwest does not occupy much resources.
On the Shandong side, Zhang San planned to open a dart road from Tokyo to Dengzhou, which is now the most important port in the north of the Great Song Dynasty, and many merchant ships going to Liao, Goryeo and Japan have to depart from here. Therefore, Tokyo to Dengshu is also an important trade route.
And as the core story of this world, how could Zhang San not arrange his own forces over there, after the dart road was opened, Zhang San planned to visit Wang Lun in person in the next step, and then install a few cronies in Liangshan.
It's just that Liangshan Wang Lun is too small-bellied, and if he arranges a master, he is afraid that he will not be accepted, so Zhang San plans to find someone who can pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and first lurk in a low-key manner on the mountain to cultivate power.
Only a few people who can rest assured that this candidate can rest assured, Yang Tai now needs to sit on one side for Zhang San, and Gan Xingtai is the general who will sit in the navy for Zhang San in the future, and it is too condescending to stay in Liangshan.
Luan Tingyu is a relatively good candidate, but his martial arts are too low, and he is almost thirty years old, so there is not much room for improvement, so Zhang San really can't plan it, so he can only let him go.
Anyway, he just went to pick up, and in the future, Lin Chong went up the mountain, and Zhang San was afraid that there would be no master to use? Now Zhang San has cut off a lot of Liangshan heroes, so it's really hard to say whether Liangshan can develop to the momentum of the original work in the future.
