Chapter 217: The Eleventh Task Ah Q wants to be surnamed Zhao 9

When Lu Renbing arrived, there was only one young man guarding the door of the newspaper office of the China Women's Daily. Lu Renbing asked him to go in to report, saying that he was Ms. Qiu Jin's fellow villager, and handed over his road slip and household number as he spoke.

The young man, hearing that the person in front of him was Qiu Jin's fellow villager, hurriedly went in to report. They weren't agents either, and they didn't have a sense of security.

In this era, the authority of the Qing court has not completely fallen, and Qiu Jin is a rebellion and the sin of implicating the nine clans. If it wasn't really Qiu Jin's friend, it would be too late to clear up the relationship with her at this time, and there would never be anyone who came to recognize her relatives.

Judging from Lu Renbing's road signs, this person is indeed Qiu Jin's hometown. Maybe I really know Qiu Jin.

Therefore, Lu Renbing was quickly invited in.

After entering, I saw that the newspaper was quite neat, after all, it was a woman-dominated newspaper hall. This is a five-bay Shikumen courtyard. The main hall is inhabited. The left wing room is the newspaper hall, and the right wing room is the guest room and utility room.

Lu Renbing was invited into the guest room, and someone served tea. After a while, a man in a long shirt came in, introducing himself as Chen Zhiqun, the editor of the China Women's Daily, and several other ladies, who were inconvenient to meet strangers who came unexpectedly.

Although they are the pioneers of women's rights in China, after all, they are also women educated in the old era, and they understand the basic self-esteem and self-love better than anyone else.

Lu Renbing said that he was Qiu Jin's Shaoxing hometown and a businessman, and he was fortunate to meet Qiu Martyr, and was impressed by her demeanor, knowing that she had run a newspaper in Shanghai and lacked capital, so he was willing to help.

However, because I have been busy with business since I came to Shanghai, I delayed it. Yesterday, I read the news of the martyr Qiu in the newspaper. I feel very guilty for not being able to follow in the footsteps of the martyrs. Now I can only come here to see if I can do something so that the women's newspaper career of the autumn martyrs can continue.

Chen Zhiqun was surprised by Lu Renbing, who was going to fund the China Women's Newspaper at this juncture, and they themselves were already about to give up the China Women's Daily. In the China Women's Daily, those backbones have already gone to Anqing, and there are only a few women left here, and he is a scholar. He can't be the master, so he can only ask Lu Renbing to wait for a while, he has to go back and discuss.

After a while, several people from the newspaper office came over. came to see this fellow Qiu Jin and asked him how he and Qiu Jin met. Lu Renbing didn't mix with water, and said that he and Qiu Jin were just fellow villagers, but they just happened to walk all the way, and because of a misunderstanding, there was a conflict. It is precisely because I don't know each other that I have a deep admiration for Ms. Qiu Jin.

Wu Zhiying was more alert, she asked Lu Renbing what he was dressed when he saw Qiu Jin, of course Lu Renbing narrated them one by one, and Wu Zhiying believed that he had really seen Qiu Jin.

Lu Renbing didn't say that he was familiar with Qiu Jin, which was also right. Because Wu Zhiying and Qiu Jin are close friends who talk about everything, Qiu Jin went abroad to study, and she sponsored it. Therefore, if Lu Renbing is really familiar with Qiu Jin, Wu Zhiying will definitely not never know from Qiu Jin's mouth.

It was precisely because of Lu Renbing's honesty that he initially won Lu Renbing's trust. They asked what Mr. Lu was going to do. Lu Renbing bluntly said that he wanted to buy the China Women's Daily and carry the newspaper forward.

In this era, there is no need to declare to the imperial court to run a private newspaper, as long as you have money, you can run a newspaper. So a few people don't particularly understand Lu Renbing's move to buy the newspaper, so they can only think that he is really a fan of Qiu Jin, and they don't plan to do it anyway. It's okay to sell it to Lu Renbing.

Qiu Jin ran this newspaper by borrowing part of the money from his husband's family, Wu Zhiying, the Xu family sisters and other friends sponsored a part, and only reluctantly published two issues, and when the remaining third issue will come out, even Qiu Jin herself can't say.

Because of this newspaper, the propaganda component is the majority, the circulation is not large, and it is not famous, there are no commercial advertisements at all, it is a non-profit newspaper, purely pasted silver. The little money that Qiu Jin raised had already been spent.

Now that Qiu Jin is gone, everyone has to go their separate ways, and this newspaper will die. Wu Zhiying and the others discussed for a while, asked Lu Renbing for 2,000 silver dollars, and transferred the ownership of the China Women's Daily, and they just took the money to go to Shaoxing to do the funeral for Qiu Jin.

This price is not low, you must know that even if the land in the concession is now less than 2,500 silver dollars per mu. After signing the agreement, Lu Renbing took out the silver ticket without blinking his eyes, handed it to Wu Zhiying, and by the way, he also took out an additional 1,000 silver dollars, which was counted as his respect for Ms. Qiu and the funds for several people to run for Ms. Qiu's future.

None of them were poor, but none of them could take out three thousand silver dollars without blinking. So their favorability towards Lu Renbing has increased a little.

After working until the afternoon, the newspaper was completed, Wu Zhiying took the ladies away, and Lu Renbing kept Chen Zhiqun. He can see that this person is a capable person, and he also has feelings for China Women's Daily. He retained him as the deputy editor-in-chief of China Women's Daily and continued this career.

happened to be a little confused about the future, Chen Zhiqun thought about it and agreed. Originally, he also planned to run a women's newspaper after the limelight passed and continue Ms. Qiu Jin's career. Now with Lu Renbing's retention and promise not to interfere too much in his work, he agreed to stay.

Chen Zhiqun is a native of Wuxi, Jiangsu, only 18 years old this year, after returning from studying in Japan, he followed Qiu Jin to found a newspaper, as an editor, with a good literary style, revolutionary ideas, but not so radical. This is also the reason why Lu Renbing left him.

With him, Lu Renbing was able to maintain those relationships with women's newspapers, which had no heavy assets, and in this newspaper, they were mainly responsible for editing manuscripts, typesetting them, and sending them to the printing house for printing. The printed newspapers are then sent to the various distribution points.

China Women's Daily has limited circulation due to financial reasons, but because of Qiu Jin's connections, there are consignment offices in Beiping, Chongqing, Wuchang, and Shaoxing. The orders were mainly Qiu Jin's girlfriends, as well as the daughters of the revolutionary party.

Therefore, this newspaper, like Qiu Jin at this time, is actually not well-known. The reason why this newspaper can leave a strong mark in later generations is entirely because Qiu Jin's status has been continuously raised and her reputation has been expanding.

After leaving Chen Zhiqun, let him gather in the next few days, those who have left, let them come back, and the third issue of China Women's Daily will be officially launched.

Then he called a car back to the hotel where he lived, picked up his luggage, and then he was going to officially settle in the China Women's Daily.

After he finally slept in the guest room of the newspaper in the middle of the night, his heart finally settled down. He finally took root in this world.
