Sitting in Brother Rundong's small dilapidated house, where it was difficult to turn around, I listened to Brother Rundong talk endlessly about his grand plan to open a newspaper and a beautiful blueprint for the future. net

I have been talking for more than two hours, but he is full of grandiose talks about how to boycott Dalang's goods, but he does not mention the matter of opening a newspaper to make money to support his family, which really makes me speechless, and I regret coming back to celebrate the opening of his new store.

"I just got off the boat today, I was a little tired, I went back to the hotel to rest. ”

"It's very expensive to stay in a hotel, or let's live together, and we can chat more!"

"Excuse me, my identity is still wanted by Zhang Jinghuan here, I am a wanted criminal, and if they find out, it will affect you. ”

"It's okay to live separately, you must come to my newspaper office tomorrow!"

"Of course, I'm here to see what your newspaper can become!"

"Hmph, I will definitely advocate for the whole people to boycott the goods of the Dalang Empire, I will continue to fight them in the newspaper, I will ......"

"Okay, okay, it turns out that you didn't open a newspaper to make money, just to fight, you can remember, you still owe me 20 gold coins!"

"Stingy, my newspaper will definitely make money. ”

"Hehe, I hope so!"

......

Returning to Changshengsha is equivalent to returning to your hometown and returning to a familiar atmosphere.

Even the food is palatable, and the people around me talk in a familiar tone, so I still like the environment here.

In the early morning of the next day, after a burst of firecrackers, Brother Rundong's newspaper opened, and he and I were the only two people at the opening ceremony.

That is to say, Brother Rundong is the general manager, editor-in-chief, proofreader, printer, external liaison, and miscellaneous staff of the newspaper, and he is all alone inside and out.

I want to borrow him some money and hire someone, he is afraid of more debts, so he wants to be alone, of course, he is still running the 'Xinmin Magic Society', he has set the location of the society's activities in his newspaper, so that he will often have students in the school here to help, seeing this, I don't have to worry about his affairs anymore.

"Look, this is the manuscript of the first issue of our "Hong Kong Review", what do you think?"

It was the students' class time, so Cai Hesen and other students did not come to the celebration of the Rundongge newspaper, and after Rundongge finished writing the manuscript, he asked me to be his first reader, and he proudly handed me the manuscript.

People who have just started business are like this, very good!

At first, he was ambitious and high-spirited, and when he couldn't sell a single newspaper, I don't know if he still had such high passion, but I couldn't beat him, and I still had to support him as a brother.

"Hehe, I don't charge money for your newspaper!"

Laughing, I took Brother Rundong's manuscript and read it carefully.

But after reading it, I was surprised to find that these articles of Brother Rundong were completely different from the way they were written in other newspapers.

Most of the articles in the newspaper now seem to be compiling each other's literary brilliance, playing with rhetoric, and using those incomprehensible words as much as possible, so that people will feel a headache after reading the article, and even the common people with a slightly lower level of education can't understand it.

But Brother Rundong's article is full of vernacular, so white that it can't be whiter, it's all vernacular, all the language that the people are most familiar with, so that people can understand it at a glance, and the language spoken makes people feel very close, and many of them are common sayings of the people.

Brother Rundong is not without literary talent, he once read all the books in a library, and he also stayed in the library of Beishengjing University for nearly half a year, and he insisted on reading books and newspapers every day, how could he not have literary talent?

He just doesn't like to show off.

He doesn't write articles in the slightest to show his rhetoric, but just uses the simplest and most understandable words to explain things, and this style of writing seems to be simple and powerful, to the point, concise, and thorough!

At this moment, I suddenly felt that Brother Rundong seemed to have found the right industry.

Isn't the purpose of running a newspaper to convey news to people? Isn't publishing a newspaper just to make people understand? And Brother Rundong was easily caught by this, and his articles were more easily accepted by people.

It turns out that being a newspaper editor is the most suitable job for Brother Rundong!

Yes, the most important function of a newspaper is to quickly deliver information and interpret it.

And the role of the newspaper is also to let others get news information as soon as possible and interpret the connotation, and Brother Rundong can be said to have a strong talent in this regard.

When he was a child in our village, he was responsible for explaining what was happening outside to our village, so what he was best at was delivering news, and he would also interpret these messages in a way that was easier for the people to understand.

Even when he was in school, he was also the one who always bought newspapers among his students, and he also helped his classmates interpret various information, and he has been commenting on the articles and newspapers he has read for a while, so it can be said that he has been practicing this ability since he was a child.

And the "Xiangjiang Review" he runs is a newspaper that interprets current affairs and news, doesn't this just give full play to Brother Rundong's specialty?

"Good! great!"

I was so excited that I slapped my thigh, believing that Brother Rundong would definitely do a great job in the newspaper industry.

This made me excited, and finally found the most suitable industry for Rundongge, I used to think about what Rundongge would do to do a good job, and he was not at ease when he found a job as a teacher, and he had to work part-time, and I was still having a headache at that time.

Now I know, running a newspaper company, you don't have to change jobs anymore, and being a newspaper is definitely an industry that Rundong likes and is suitable for.

"Hehe, which article did you see?"

Brother Rundong was very happy to see me so excited, and hurriedly came over to ask me which article I saw and was so surprised that he was amazed.

"Oh...... , it's all good, it's all good, I'll take a closer look. ”

I only read half of the article just now, and I remembered that Brother Rundong found a job that suited him, and Brother Rundong's article was also very attractive, so I was busy reading the article.

There are a total of seven articles in this issue of the Xiangjiang Review, the content is very rich, there are many columns such as "Commentary on Eastern Events", "Commentary on Western Events", "Miscellaneous Commentary on Xiangjiang", "World Miscellaneous Commentary", "Speech", "New Literature and Art", etc., which are the focus of everyone's attention at present.

The main content of his Xiangjiang Miscellaneous Commentary, as he himself said, is to advocate a public boycott of the goods of the Dalang Empire.

Now many newspapers are commenting on these contents, and Brother Rundong is now writing this kind of initiative, which seems a little late in time, but Brother Rundong's article is direct and profound, of course, his style of writing is like the character of others, extremely sharp, like a sharp knife, the knife hits the point, straightforward, easy to understand, intriguing.

And the article in his "Speech" attracted me even more.

The theme is "On the Great Union of the People".

The first sentence of the article is:

'What is the biggest problem in the world? What is the biggest problem of eating! What is the strongest force?

This opening sentence is straightforward, courageous, and full of power! Later, when he mentioned how to get the people to unite and do what to do, he advocated for everyone:

'If you want to unite, you must not be afraid of the sky, don't be afraid of numerology, don't be afraid of ghosts, don't be afraid of the dead, and don't be afraid of ...... warlords'.

This is completely Brother Rundong's character who is not afraid of heaven and earth, open-minded and heroic.

I know, this is what Brother Rundong wants to say the most.

In the past, when he was in our village, he couldn't see the rich bullying the poor, and even when his father did something harsh to the poor, he would unite with his mother to oppose it, and he would use his family's food to secretly fund some poor people, and I also benefited.

Since then, he has never wavered in this concept.

When he was in middle school, when he once posted the candidates for president, prime minister, and foreign minister in front of the school very pretty, he could also see his concept of wanting the people to unite, because those three people were completely untouched, but he arranged those three people in the same government.

In fact, it was already revealed at that time that Rundongge wanted all factions to participate in the newly formed state polity, and he wanted all factions to unite together, which was similar to his view of the great alliance of the people.

And when he was at Beishengjing University, even in the face of the case of those proud sons of heaven advocating the implementation of the Rus' Empire, which had already had successful experience, in his very dark period, he had always insisted on his own point of view, which was to unite the whole people.

Therefore, this is the real voice of Brother Rundong, and Brother Rundong started to comment from the issue of eating, which makes readers feel very close

"Okay, these articles are very good!"

I admired that although Rundongge writes entirely his personal opinions, this kind of critical newspaper is an article that throws out a well-formed and profound point of view to the reader, and guides the reader to think.

And to be honest, this point of view of Brother Rundong seems to be very atmospheric, leaving all parties with nothing to say, so I believe that there will be readers who are willing to read such an article and accept his point of view.

"I am even more confident that I have decided to publish 2,000 copies of our newspaper tomorrow, and I will also make the "Hong Kong Review" a weekly. ”

It is rare for Brother Rundong to praise him so much, and seeing me so supportive at this moment aroused his pride and ambition, and he announced very passionately, it seems that he is full of confidence in the future of his newspaper.

"Stop, stop, stop! what?... 2,000 servings?...... Also, it's also weekly!"

When I heard this, I was anxious, a new newspaper printed 2,000 copies for the first publication, which is a crazy rhythm.

On the one hand, there are not many literate people now, and many people still care about the two copper coins a day, and there are very few people who can afford to buy newspapers, so two thousand copies, that is a very large sales.

Especially if it's a new newspaper!
