Chapter 124: China Daily (II)

[I'm going to go to Sanjiang next week, and the author of Sanjiang's testimonial won't write it.......]

"Wang Ming Wang Ming, you are in the newspaper. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Wang Ming's neighbor ran to Wang Ming's house panting with a newspaper in his hand and said.

"Huh." Hearing this, Wang Ming touched his head with his right hand and smiled embarrassedly.

When a newspaper reporter came to interview Wang Ming before, Wang Ming learned that he was going to be in the newspaper, and Wang Ming also knew what the newspaper was through the reporter, but in Wang Ming's view, being in the newspaper was at most to let more people know him, and it didn't have much impact on him, and life went on as usual.

But Wang Ming would not have known that in the face of the "China Daily" distributed throughout the territory, especially the first issue of the "China Daily", Wang Ming who appeared in the newspaper attracted the attention of countless people, and put Wang Ming in ancient times, and he could already be called a celebrity.

So that after a period of time, many people came to visit Wang Ming, including many rich people, but Wang Ming did not like such a noisy life, closed the door directly, and continued to learn all kinds of knowledge by himself, and many years later, Wang Ming became a well-known speaker throughout the country......

Rongcheng, a teahouse.

The storyteller sitting on the stage picked up the "China Daily" and glanced at it, and then said slowly: "Today I will tell you the story of the battle between the Dongyang island country and the Manchu Tartars, it is said that ......"

After the storyteller finished speaking, he took a sip of tea, but there was a sigh from the audience, not that the storyteller did not speak well, but that the huge Manchu Qing Dynasty before could not even beat the Oriental island countries.

Bang!

The startled wood sounded, and after drinking the tea, the storyteller continued: "The island country of the East Ocean is not satisfied with the occupation of Korea, and it is delusional to invade and occupy ......."

When Mr. Storyteller tells the story, there is hardly much voice in the audience, and everyone is listening to Mr. Storyteller's story.

In fact, there are no longer a few people who have bought "China Daily" in the audience, but when they came to the teahouse, they felt that the storyteller was more interesting, so they invited three or five friends to sit in the teahouse and listen to the story together.

This is how Mr. Storyteller reads the story of "China Daily", so that the small teahouse is full, but the storyteller does have such a flavor of the story, which can attract people to listen patiently, many people have bought a copy of "China Daily", and also came to the teahouse to listen to Mr. Storyteller talk about "China Daily", and listened to it with relish, and unconsciously drank a lot of tea and ate a lot of melon seeds and peanuts or something, so that the owner of the teahouse made a small profit.

Since the first teahouse owner thought of this method, for his own teahouse to attract a large number of guests, this method spread rapidly, the teahouse storyteller no longer will be the old jokes, but talk about the "China Daily", the original barely guaranteed the teahouse, quickly became the most popular place for the people, countless teahouse owners can't wait to go to Yuanhe City in person to thank Li Cheng, Li Cheng is simply their God of Wealth.

What the teahouse owners didn't expect was that Li Cheng, the god of wealth in their mouths, was worried at this time, worrying about how to turn the ten-month newspaper into a weekly newspaper, and it was best to turn it directly into a daily newspaper.

"China Daily" is the name given by Yan Xueyi, but Li Cheng has no way to make it a daily newspaper, at most it can only become a ten-day newspaper, no matter how fast it is, it is impossible, not to mention that the content of the newspaper is not satisfied, even the printing speed of the newspaper is also strictly limited, there is no way, the daily newspaper can only become a ten-day newspaper for the time being.

Of course, "China Daily" also surprised Li Cheng, originally Li Cheng guessed that 50,000 copies of "China Daily" could meet the market demand, after all, "China Daily" is still the first appearance.

Unexpectedly, the first issue of "China Daily" printed nearly 200,000 copies did not meet market demand, and nearly 30,000 copies of the newspaper were sold in Yuanhe City alone, which is equivalent to every four households in Yuanhe City buying one newspaper.

However, Li Cheng had to stop the printing of the first issue, because the next issue was about to be released, and he needed to print the next issue with all his might.

Why is China Daily so popular? For no other reason, the domestic and foreign news published in the newspaper can attract a large number of people to buy newspapers in this era of low information dissemination.

Compared to Yuanhe City, which has the highest income level, any kind of family is likely to buy a newspaper, while elsewhere, middle-class families, businessmen, and government workers have become the main buyers of newspapers.

As for the ordinary people in the lower classes, they don't have much spare money to buy newspapers that they can't eat or wear.

On March 11, a new issue of "China Daily" was issued, with a print run of 100,000 copies.

Under Li Cheng's arrangement, 20,000 of them were placed in Yuanhe City, and the remaining 80,000 copies were sold to various places, which had been shipped away in advance, and the cities closer to Yuanhe City had already been transported.

You must know that the printing of nearly 200,000 copies of the first issue of "China Daily" is not enough, so why should the second issue of the newspaper print more?

Li Cheng also has his own considerations, "China Daily" appeared in people's field of vision for the first time, maybe some people will make a novelty to buy a copy, anyway, a copy of "China Daily" is only three cents of silver, and it is not expensive, at least the residents of Yuanhe City can afford it, when they pass this novelty, the second issue of the newspaper may not be purchased.

And Li Cheng will also print according to the sales situation in various places, Yuanhe City is relatively close, and the purchasing power is strong, if the market demand is too high, you can print at any time, and other areas, according to the sales volume of the cities near Yuanhe City, you must know the farthest city from Yuanhe City, before the first issue in sales.

Just as Li Cheng thought, the sales volume of the second issue of "China Daily" barely reached 180,000 copies, which did not reach the sales volume of the first issue, of which the sales volume in Yuanhe City had just reached 22,000 copies, and it is expected that the sales volume of "China Daily" will stabilize at 170,000 copies in the future.

Yan Xueyi carefully looked at the sales data of the three issues of "China Daily" in March, and then raised his head and said with a smile: "Good job." ”

After receiving the teacher's praise, Li Cheng was overjoyed.

The sales of 170,000 to 80,000 copies of the "China Daily" means that most of the people in the four provinces can understand some of the information published in the "China Daily", and even in small villages, a copy of the "China Daily" will be delivered, so that ordinary people can learn as much about the outside world as possible.

"China Daily" has been very helpful to Yan Xueyi in gathering the hearts of the people, and at the same time, it has slowly condensed in the hearts of the people a belief that they are a member of the country and a member of the nation, and when foreign enemies invade, the people will also take the initiative to stand up and help the country resist foreign enemies, instead of being silent.

Yan Xueyi continued to give Li Cheng the task of expanding the scope of influence of the "China Daily" and letting more people understand the information published in the "China Daily."
