Chapter 220: The Eleventh Task Ah Q wants to be surnamed Zhao 12

It was at that time that he met this bearded Jonathan. Lu Renbing invited him to drink a few times and learned about his predicament. Originally, he wanted to hook up with this Jonathan and go back to the United States to get a big vote. Jonathan poured cold water on him, the United States has just passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, and recently in the US states, the anti-China voice is officially at its highest. After Lu Renbing went to the United States, it is estimated that the biggest possibility is that he will be nested in Chinatown and unable to go out. Then it was looted and repatriated. If you want to make a means of wool, you don't even think about it.

Lu Renbing thought about it, and it was the same thing, so he temporarily stopped thinking about going to the US imperialists to make trouble. Then he turned around and bought a newspaper. I bought the machine at a very low price, and by the way, I hired Jonathan as a technician to help him train the workers.

With this set of machines, the small courtyard on North Sichuan Road was too crowded. Lu Renbing spent 5,000 silver dollars to buy two acres of land in the public concession. Then hire manpower, build houses, build factories on one acre of land, and build residential buildings on one acre of land.

Lu Renbing did not build the Shikumen building that was popular in this era, but built the kind of tube building in the previous life. Now the materials are not good, so Lu Renbing can only build a five-story tube building on this acre of land. They are all one-bedroom units, and there will probably be more than 100 units after they are built.

For this project, Lu Renbing specially recruited a project team to be responsible for the application. He visits the site every day. The rest of the time, he focused on the first issue of the Financial Times.

The third issue of China Women's Daily has been published. Lu Renbing used the new machine to test print 5,000 copies, which stunned Chen Zhiqun and his colleagues. Lu Renbing, on the other hand, was to train the apprentices of workers who had been recruited from various printing workshops.

After printing, Lu Renbing asked Cheng Zhiqun to send 2,000 copies of the newspaper to Waifu, and the rest was paid to hire people and delivered to the homes of people with heads and faces in Shanghai and given away for free. The same is true of the newspapers and periodicals in the outer suburbs. In just this wave, Lu Renbing spent more than 3,000 silver dollars.

This kind of generous behavior of throwing money not only seems a little stupid to outsiders, but even people inside the newspaper are a little distressed. But Lu Renbing knew it in his heart. He accomplished at least three purposes with this hand,

First, the fanfare for Qiu Jin is regarded as officially taking over Qiu Jin's inheritance. Second, Lu Renbing took the opportunity of throwing money to dredge the delivery channels of newspapers and periodicals. The third is the free newspaper, which has expanded the circulation of Chinese women's newspapers and fired the first shot at the rise of Chinese women's newspapers. You must know that the circulation of the largest newspaper in Shanghai is only 10,000 or 20,000 copies.

The most important thing is that Lu Renbing began to officially appear on Shanghai Beach through China Women's Daily. Because of the special background of the women's newspaper, the people in Shanghai believed that he had a revolutionary party background, so they were somewhat afraid of him. So no one has come to him yet, so it's an unexpected bonus. There is no doubt about Lu Renbing's exposed financial resources. Everyone knows how complicated the financial background of the revolutionary party is.

The revolutionary party is also confused about the appearance of Lu Renbing, and now the alliance has not yet been established, and the various forces are basically fighting their own battles, and no one knows which group Lu Renbing is, at least the people of the Liberation Association say that they do not know Lu Renbing.

As for what others think, Lu Renbing doesn't care, as long as no one comes to disturb him, he doesn't care what others think. After Lu Renbing's advocacy of such a reckless cost, Qiu Jin's matter was finally stabbed to the tabletop mountain. Shanghai Dao did not make any moves against Lu Renbing, who had a mysterious origin, which also aroused the enthusiasm of the entire poster industry. Soon, reports about Qiu Jin's case sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Originally, the Zhejiang Business Gang was one of the largest forces in Shanghai. Now seeing that the governor of Zhejiang and the prefect of Shaoxing, Guifu, there are signs of taking advantage of the Qiu Jin case to prosper the prison. The people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang simply cannot tolerate it. They have been running for a long time, and now they are just waiting for an opportunity to create public opinion, and then use the power of the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the imperial court to settle this case.

Now Lu Renbing is the first bird, and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang gangs in Shanghai and Haihai just rush up. In less than two months, Qiu Jin has successfully changed from an anti-thief to an eternal heroine, a heroine, and her death has been condemned as a strange injustice through the ages. Well, of course, this kind of evaluation still comes from Chen Zhiqun's hands, with the backing of the big money Lu Renbing, China Women's Daily finally began to publish monthly, and the fourth issue was sent out on time at the end of September. The evaluation of Qiu Jin was also published in this issue.

Because of the sensational effect of the third issue, Qiu Jin's friends, who wrote for the women's newspaper, were greatly moved, and after receiving the telegram, they all said that they would continue to contribute to the women's newspaper, which solved the worries of the women's newspaper. Lu Renbing also began to pay the authors of the women's newspaper according to the standard of the declaration, and everyone was happy for a while. In addition, in the fourth issue of the Women's Daily, Lu Renbing published an advertisement that the Women's Newspaper welcomes the majority of women to contribute, and indicated the employment conditions and remuneration standards. By the time of the fifth issue, the editor of the female newspaper had received several sacks of manuscripts, most of which were from women in the courtyard of the deep house.

The fourth issue of Lu Renbing is still delivered for free, but he has begun to accept subscriptions, and the number of subscriptions is not bad according to feedback. The number of copies in Shanghai and Hai has reached 1,200, and there are also more than 1,000 copies in Waifu, which can be regarded as achieving good results.

Lu Renbing didn't give much guidance to the women's newspaper, but he made a few suggestions, adding beauty, scripts, Western dramas, fashion, and people to the women's newspaper. weakened the political nature of the women's newspaper and made her change in the direction of fashion magazines. This can increase the readability of the women's newspaper, increase the stickiness of users, and also attract advertisers, which ultimately makes the women's newspaper profitable.

The fifth issue after the revision was still given away for free by Lu Renbing, but at this time, the women's newspaper had become a fashion magazine, with higher printing quality, and color portraits were printed on the cover, and the content was also illustrated and written, and the articles were diverse and interesting. Then the women's newspaper received a record-breaking 5,000 subscriptions. Basically, Lu Renbing's free delivery to the family has paid an annual subscription fee.

Lu Renbing immediately recovered the marketing costs, and at the same time, the women's newspaper also received more than a dozen advertisements for women's products, although the income was not much, but the women's newspaper had begun to make profits. After that, Lu Renbing no longer interfered in the operation of the women's newspaper.

He is now fully focused on his real focus, the China Financial Times. For this newspaper, Lu Renbing really exhausted his efforts, and all the manuscripts were written by himself. In order to collect information, Lu Renbing did not know how much money he spent and how many places he ran, and in this era when there were no large public libraries, no computers and no networks, it was really laborious to find the materials he needed.

At the same time as checking the information, Lu Renbing also spent a lot of energy and money to win over the shareholders and members of the Zhongye Public Office, many brokers of the Huifang Teahouse, and many companies and trust companies in the world that specialize in stock trading, and promised many benefits in exchange for them to provide Lu Renbing with information on the price of stock trading.

In order to obtain price information in various places, Lu Renbing even bribed the apprentices of the local chambers of commerce and ticket numbers. In order to maintain these relationships, Lu Renbing specially recruited a secretarial team of more than a dozen people to be responsible for maintaining these relationships, collecting and verifying information.

The silver was spent like flowing water, and if he didn't think about it, his money would probably bottom out soon.

The main reason is that the house he started is too silver-hungry.

Fortunately, after three months of preparation, the first issue of the China Financial Times, on which Lu Renbing had high hopes, was finally published.

This time coincided with the critical moment when the elder Morgan solved the US banking crisis in a big way. However, due to the isolationist policy pursued by the United States, what happened in the United States had no impact on the Chinese people on the other side of the ocean, so Lu Renbing was not embarrassed to rub the heat.
