Chapter 218: The Eleventh Task Ah Q wants to be surnamed Zhao 10

The next morning, the staff of the newspaper office came to work one after another, and Lu Renbing called a meeting of everyone and counted the number of people, there were a total of 8 people in this newspaper, and several ladies from yesterday did not come.

It should have gone their separate ways, which Lu Renbing didn't particularly care about, he really didn't have much to do with those people. The people who joined the revolutionary party in this newspaper have almost escaped, and the rest of them are all young and can be regarded as activists. Most of them have a new education, and a few have gone abroad.

The most important thing is that they are all passionate and driven. That's good, Lu Renbing has no one at hand, just have these people.

After Lu Renbing greeted them, he ordered them to have a meeting. Discuss the publication of the third issue of China Women's Daily.

There is no politeness, Lu Renbing and these young people have no common language. He's just an emotionless newspaper capitalist. There is no need to be close to the staff, what he can rely on is his own money ability. He believed that as long as the money was available, these young people would give him his life.

He had already learned the basic situation in the newspaper. Because the source of funds for the women's newspaper is mainly the fundraising of Qiu Jin's friends. The manuscript is mainly based on Qiu Jin's interpersonal relationships, and the remuneration is equal to nothing. The salaries of these employees basically only exist on the books.

Funds are tight, and they haven't been paid for two or three months. In this era, newspaper editors and reporters belong to the middle class, and it is average to get forty or fifty silver dollars in a big newspaper. , the editor-in-chief, the deputy editor-in-chief manager took more than 100 yuan. Other copywriters don't have cheap pens either.

For China Women's Daily, these are all debts, and they are all working with enthusiasm. But this is not sustainable, no matter what, the contractor does not give the pen, and the cost of postage and telegram must be paid. You will have to pay for the printing costs and the mailing of newspapers and periodicals. Editor, the basic livelihood of the workers must still be guaranteed.

Huhai, a ghost place, has a decent house, and the rent is at least seven or eight silver dollars a month, and it costs more than a dozen silver dollars for eating, drinking, and Lazar, plus transportation expenses and other dry consumption, so it will no longer be recorded in detail. Even if these young people have a bit of a foundation at home, it is not good to gnaw at the old all the time.

This gave Lu Renbing the opportunity to buy people's hearts, and his money ability is domineering. At the beginning of the meeting, Lu Renping first announced that all staff should be paid salaries. In addition, the remuneration payable by the previous newspaper and the arrears of the fees of the local sales outlets will be settled.

Then there is a 10% increase in the salary of each person, which will be adjusted according to the work of each person.

This alone made the depressed heavy task and the spirit shocked. Morale suddenly recovered a lot.

The two young men in charge of the accounting and cashier suddenly became happy. When the newspaper decided to dissolve again, it was the most headache for them to pay for the arrears in various places. Some people owe money, and if they owe it, they owe it. But the money from the distribution points in various places is not easy to owe. It's about favors and credit. Now that Lu Renbing has taken over the newspaper, they are still worried that Lu Renbing, the new boss, will repay the debt.

Of course, Lu Renbing will not repay the debt, and he still wants to continue the previous distribution channels and contacts. Those who Qiu Jin commissioned are all feminist pioneers in this era, and they are the ones who must be won over in the future. Lu Renbing has no friendship with others, so he can only rely on money to maintain it.

With these things arranged, Lu Renbing began to discuss the issue of the publication of the China Women's Daily.

Lu Renbing first took a look at the layout they had arranged, and the women's newspaper at this time was not so much a newspaper as a periodical. The first issue was first published on January 14, and the second issue of the first edition was supposed to be in February, but it was delayed to March due to lack of money, and the third issue that was supposed to be the first edition in March is now almost August and there is no shadow. The editor-in-chief and the founder were sacrificed, and the deputy editor-in-chief and assistants were scattered.

Lu Renbing looked through the sample issues of the first two issues of the women's newspaper, and it was really shabby, because of lack of money. The women's newspaper did not have its own printing equipment, and its small print volume could not afford the advanced machinery of the Commercial Press. They all sent the typeset samples to a small printing house on Wangping Street for printing. After printing, it is sent to the post office and sent to various places.

As for the content, it is divided into several columns: Commentary, Acting, Translation, Circulation, Wenyuan, Novel, News, Investigation, and Singing, because they are all written by famous artists, and the writing is not bad. But the attraction is not at all.

This newspaper is a typical propaganda newspaper, and their readers are limited to those women with modern education. As for the objects they want to promote, those traditional women in the boudoir probably don't even have the interest to watch it.

But now that's it, Lu Renbing doesn't have the idea of starting over, and he doesn't have any connections. But in terms of form, Lu Renbing wants to innovate. Can't be so hasty. The conditions for starting a daily newspaper are not yet ripe, so let's continue to do it monthly, and then turn it into a semi-monthly magazine in the future, and then turn it into a weekly magazine when the time is ripe.

In order to make full use of Qiu Jin's legacy, this issue of China Women's Daily must have explosive articles. must make a name for Qiu Jin and avenge her grievances.

In this way, a win-win situation can be achieved, one is to make Qiu Jin famous, and the other is to make a name for the female newspaper, and by the way, gather the contacts left by Qiu Jin. Qiu Jin's current fame is limited to those who know him. The press in Shanghai is now silent about her death.

As a newspaper founded by Qiu Jin, if you want to avenge her grievances at this time, what are you waiting for, the most qualified to make a name for Qiu Jin is the China Women's Daily.

So Lu Renbing began to assign tasks, and the third issue must be published half a month later. In addition to the articles that Ms. Qiu Jin has ordered before, this issue must be completed, Ms. Qiu Jin's special issue. Xiang Qiu Jin's former friend urgently crossed the draft, the theme is to recall Ms. Qiu Jin's life, to avenge her grievances, and to build momentum.

The point of the grievance is that she is a contemporary female pioneer, an ordinary female teacher, but she was innocently killed without any evidence, just by a shameless report by an inferior gentleman.

The biggest suspicion is that it was not even three days from the time of arrest to the killing, how wrong. The spearhead is not to be directed at the entire imperial court, but to focus on the officials who are in trouble.

Then, Lu Renbing explained in detail some of the routines of later generations, so that the hot-blooded guys turned red, and they couldn't wait to write immediately. They had long thought about doing something for Qiu Jin.

It's just a pity that they are all frightened by the butcher's knife of the imperial court, and the six gods have no master, so they don't know what to do. Now with Lu Renbing's guidance, he immediately woke up. The Qing court did not dare to make a big move at all, nor did it dare to build a big prison again.

As long as they don't raise the flag openly, the court will not do anything to them. In the Shanghai stall, the officials who criticized Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the officials in Shanghai, only went to open their eyes for them when their heads were pregnant.

The theme must be fixed, and Lu Renbing ordered them to act separately. He first put 5,000 yuan into the account and paid 5,000 yuan for the expenses. Then I went to do something else myself, leaving behind the passionate people.

Lu Renbing believes that after the publication of this issue of the women's newspaper in which he avenged Qiu Jin, these young people will completely return to their hearts. Qiu Jin's friends should have a good impression of him from strangers to friendships. Well, the banknote capacity is good.

However, it seems that after the industry, the money is more and more unspent. If he hadn't received this money, he wouldn't have lasted long.
