Chapter 222: The Eleventh Task Ah Q wants to be surnamed Zhao 14

This work was a long-lasting one, and it was not until the end of 1908 that the national layout was completed. In order to ensure the authority of financial information, Lu Renbing also sent reporters to the Netherlands, Britain, New York, San Francisco, Tokyo, Xiangjiang, Singapore, Paris, Moscow, Zurich, Calcutta and other places in mid-1908. In the initial stage, the main focus is on the stock market, bond market, and futures market of these countries, and other functions will be added in the future.

Other things are to practice internal skills, and Lu Renbing is recruiting newspaper editors on a large scale. Expand the scale of the newspaper, thank me for breaking the meridians in the Qing Dynasty, abolishing the imperial examination, and building a new style of school. There are many down-and-out literati who eat mixed rice in Shanghai, and there are many graduates of the school. Lu Renbing is willing to pay, and he doesn't have to worry about not being able to recruit people.

Soon the headquarters of the Financial Times expanded to more than 200 people, all of whom were brought in by Lu Renbing to help Lu Renbing write about the pits he had opened himself.

Then there is a brief history of finance, which is also history, and in this era, just looking up information can annoy people to death. Lu Yanbing provided a rough outline, and the editorial staff were divided into different project teams, according to Lu Renbing's outline, to find information, fill in the blanks, and then appear in the next issue of the Financial Times.

In order to check these materials, Lu Renping began to purchase magazines, newspapers, and books from all over the world. Then we have to recruit translators to translate the material. In the end, the Financial Times turned out to be the most influential translation agency in the country, apart from the official Tongwenguan. The purchased materials have become one of the most important libraries in the country, and even foreigners from the concession have to come here to borrow materials.

Even with the help of these people, Lu Renbing was not freed from the sea of Wenshan Huihai. There is no way to finance this thing, it is a new thing in the world, and there are no systematic textbooks now, and the business courses of famous schools are not as popular as later generations.

Therefore, every article needs to be reviewed by Lu Renbing personally. Lu Renbing had to sigh that he was chained to death, and he didn't even have the opportunity to make salted fish.

In 1908, there was a major issue for Lu Renbing, that is, the imperial court promulgated a newspaper law, all newspapers had to be registered, and then they had to be submitted for review before publication. But fortunately, Lu Renbing's Financial Times has no problem at all, and coupled with the ability to make money, Lu Renbing easily obtained a license.

Even the Chinese women's newspaper did not encounter any major problems, because during this period, the Chinese women's newspaper had basically become a fashionable newspaper advocating the liberation of women's rights, and the political propaganda attribute was greatly reduced. It has become an important channel for many ladies to publish articles and learn about the outside world. Because of the explosion in the number of submissions. The women's newspaper had changed from a monthly to a semi-monthly magazine, and by 1909, it had become a weekly magazine.

Qiu Jin's female friends were hired back by Lu Renbing to become the editor-in-chief and editor of the women's newspaper. Although the revolutionary nature of women's newspapers has decreased, the huge circulation and the large number of contributions from female authors still invigorate the spirits of the pioneers of these times. They swore that they must defend the position of the women's newspaper for their friends, so as not to tarnish Qiu Jin's reputation by Lu Renbing, a big capitalist.

Thanks to the completion of Lu Renbing's national layout, reporter stations in various places not only play the role of information collection, but also take on the important task of publishing the Financial Times and China Women's Daily. So while the sales of the Financial Times skyrocketed, the women's newspaper also went light.

At the beginning of 1909, the Financial Times had a national circulation of more than 150,000 and a women's newspaper with a circulation of more than 100,000. It became one of only two major national newspapers.

Because of Lu Renbing's distribution strategy, the readers of the Financial Times and Women's Newspaper are particularly high, covering almost the most powerful people in the country. Therefore, the advertising value of the two newspapers has also been valued by domestic and foreign business people. In 1908, Lu Renbing received more than 3 million yuan for advertising expenses alone.

In 1909, Lu Renbing published a series of newspapers and periodicals such as Commercial Daily, Liangyou, Reader's Digest, Novels, and Folk Tales, all of which were large newspapers and periodicals distributed throughout the country. The advertising revenue has reached tens of millions, which is simply terrifying. Fortunately, Lu Renbing spends money quickly.

Lu Renbing constantly increased the scale of his reporter stations in various localities, equipped them with special telegraph lines, installed telephones, purchased printing presses, set up printing houses in major major areas, and then ran local newspapers in various localities.

This speed of development has exceeded everyone's expectations. Even in the chaotic court, there are voices to take control of the Financial Times Group. But I really can't find an excuse, all the newspapers and periodicals under Lu Renbing are strictly not involved in politics, except for business and economics, they are literary minor. It is very much to feed thousands of literati who have no livelihood.

Lu Renbing also established a special public relations team, whose members are all well-known gentry from all over the world, and the public relations targets are all court bigwigs and local powerful factions. The professional banknote ability has put an unbreakable shell on the Financial Times Group.

In order to prevent a possible counterattack, Lu Renbing generously opened his distribution channels in various places. He divided the station into three parts, one of which was dedicated to gathering information, and the other was a newspaper distribution group, which was responsible for publishing newspapers. There is also a part of the informants who Lu Renbing himself bribed, and the network composed of these people is secret and only in Lu Renbing's own hands.

News agencies and distribution groups, Lu Renbing both demutualized them and listed them on the stock exchange, allowing powerful official and local newspapers to take shares, and allowing them to use news agencies and distribution channels to publish their own newspapers. The full name of the news agency is called China News Agency, and the newspaper distribution group is called China Newspaper Distribution Group, which is simple and rude.

Lu Renbing's hand really shocked the whole country. With the rise of the Financial Times, newspaper people across the country, who don't look at the network established by Lu Renbing, even the official newspaper does not have such a convenient distribution channel, okay?

Now that Lu Renbing is good, he generously sells shares and channels, and all potential risks are resolved at once. Thousands of official and local newspapers across the country have all taken shares in these two major groups, and many enterprises that have nothing to do with the newspaper industry have also taken shares. Anyone can see the powerful power and prospects of these two channels, and it is a fool not to take shares.

Now that Lu Renbing sold his shares, he not only returned the amount of silver, but also won over the mouthpiece that controlled the whole country. The news agency has gathered the most professional team of reporters in the country, who cover the news, and the news agency sells it to units and newspapers in need. Distribution group, which charges a fee to help deliver newspapers.

The money earned is spent, such a huge force, except for Lu Renbing as the chairman, there is no one else who can convince the public. What's more, Lu Renbing owns 35% of the shares in each of these two groups, and is the largest shareholder deservedly.

Alas, in my territory in China, Internet thinking is really good. There was really no place to send a lot of money, so Lu Renbing had no choice but to donate a first-class top and buy a real job in the imperial history, but he did not go to Beiping to take up his post. Anyway, in the past few years, there has been a lively constitutional process, and the official system has begun to show signs of chaos.

For his own safety, Lu Renbing bought another regimental training officer, bought 50 acres of land in the concession, built a luxurious manor, and raised 500 strong regimental exercises. In order to settle their families, Lu Renbing bought hundreds of acres of land in Pudong and built a match factory, a spinning factory, and a series of factories.

Alas, in this troubled era, in order to continue to survive, we can only be forced to embark on the road of no return to industry.

But Lu Renbing's money is still too much, so much that he almost doesn't have to go down to make erasers. Because of the eraser plate, he can make the biggest village himself.

The rubber crisis must happen, because this crisis is an important driving force for the end of the Qing Dynasty. If Lu Renbing intervenes and breaks the minds of the foreign companies, then maybe the Qing Dynasty will have to survive for a few years, which will not be good.

But fortunately, now Lu Renbing is no longer the homeless man who had nothing but money a few years ago. He is now the first top of the imperial court, the imperial history of Huhaidao, the vice president of the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce, the editor-in-chief of the China Financial Times, the president of the Huaxia News Agency, the chairman of the Huaxia Newspaper Distribution Group, the vice president of the Huhai Autonomous Association, the vice president of the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce, and the vice president of the Huaxia Press Association.

Anyway, the title is old.
