CHAPTER XXV

Gotham, a rare and sunny day.

Diana held a one-person-tall, just-released comic weekly newspaper and put it in front of the newspaper office.

Although this weight is nothing to Diana, the stack of newspapers stacked high is still full of a certain graphic impact.

It's been a few days since the Greve mafia was in full swing.

After that, Peter and Diana requisitioned Grave's printing house, plus a number of free manpower and material resources.

For the sake of convenience, Peter also upgraded the factory's equipment by hand, which is the product of technology beyond the current era.

The workers in the factory had no education, and they had no idea about the new equipment, but they only felt that it was easier and more convenient to use.

The factory still nominally belonged to the Greve family, and Peter just played a wave and left, so it was useless to ask for these industries.

As a result, it takes at least a certain amount of time for outsiders to find out the clues.

As for what will happen to Peter, what does it matter to Peter?

Because it is the first issue, the number of newspaper prints is not very large, and it does not need too much.

At present, a thick one-person high newspaper is sufficient.

After that, Diana soon recruited a group of children ranging from eight to thirteen or fourteen years old.

This was another task Peter gave her that day.

After the newspaper company, the newspaper master, and the printing house have been completed, all that is left is the sales channel.

And the sales channels of newspapers in the current era, in addition to the fixed street vendors, are these newsboys.

On the same day, Diana heard about Peter's task, and without the slightest hesitation, she happily agreed.

The newsboys of this era are often born poor, and at a young age, they need to go out to work to subsidize their families.

Diana quickly visited the neighborhood and spread the job demand, and soon recruited a group of school-age children.

Diana had the newsboys line up to pick them up, handing out different portions of newspapers according to age.

"Kids, I'll leave it to you, and for every copy sold, you'll get an extra penny."

Unlike the unscrupulous merchants who exploited the cheap labor of these children, Diana gave several times the amount of money given by other newspapers.

In Gotham, a newsboy might only make a pitiful 50 cents a week, and Diana couldn't have done that kind of thing.

This made the children excited, and they promised in a loud voice, "We'll definitely sell out the newspaper, Sister Diana." ”

Diana looked at their energetic and hopeful looks, her heart melted, and she encouraged:

"Okay, you have to come on! Sell our Marvel Weekly Report! ”

Well...... That's right, Peter directly named the name of the new newspaper "Marvel Weekly", and even the signboard of the newspaper was replaced with the word Marvel.

If there is any similarity, it is purely intentional.

And since the newsboys wanted to sell newspapers, it was naturally impossible for them to be ignorant of the contents of the newspapers, so they immediately opened and looked at them.

At a glance, they were attracted by the cool shots and painting styles and techniques that the newspapers had accumulated and innovated in the past few hundred years, far beyond the current era.

Where have the children seen this in these years, and this is a complete blow to the clumsy small grid comic strips in the newspapers.

Even the rare typesetting with comics as the main body and text news as the supplement has not been pursued.

And the reaction of these children is also reflected in each adult to a certain extent.

At first, they were despised for the newspaper's incompetence, there were few news, all of them were drawings, and they all regretted spending the wrong money.

But then it was really fragrant, all kinds of shock, amazing, can't wait.

The story of "Iron Man" is refreshing to them, whether it is the picture shot, the rhythm of the story, or the painting style and techniques, they have deeply shocked the soil buns who have little knowledge in this era.

"Tony Stark? The super-rich of the 21st century, this life is really enviable. ”

"Mark1 is so handsome! In the cave, he actually built a set of battle armor with a pile of broken copper and iron. ”

"So comic strips can still be drawn like this? What a genius this author is! ”

"Damn, I want to see the next issue now, hurry, hurry!"

Many people first recognized the tabloid called Marvel.

Even without the blessing of any historical trend, the first issue of Marvel Weekly has undoubtedly exploded, with a praise rate of nearly 100%.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Marvel newspaper is completely different from the heat outside.

Diana sat upright with her knees together, looking at Superman with a well-behaved face.

I don't know, I thought it was a deep lady from somewhere.

The sight was so interesting that even Peter couldn't help but look sideways and ask interestingly:

"Our Amazon Duel Champion, what's going on?"

Diana had won everyone before she was qualified to go out of the island to defeat Ares.

Diana was not annoyed in the face of Peter's ridicule, but just thanked him:

"Thank you for agreeing to give me a higher wage for the children."

Diana naturally discussed with Peter about raising wages, after all, this kind of thing can be said to be detrimental to herself and others.

Peter just shook his head and said, "You know, money doesn't mean much for people like us. Moreover, you are the one who made this decision. ”

Although Peter would not have gone out of his way to exploit the children, he would have given them a similar wage.

Although he saw some things in his eyes, he didn't care about them, otherwise he wouldn't be an ancestor.

"I know, but I still want to thank you." Diana Says:

"After all, you're the one who earns this money."

As if he had discovered something, Peter looked at Diana with some surprise: "It seems that you have a new idea." ”

Diana nodded and said:

"Over the years, I've discovered that there is a limit to what I can do alone.

However, with the power of money, it seems that more people can be helped. ”

Maybe it's because of the difference in era, position, position, and thinking, even if they are on the same good side, but Diana and Gwen gave completely different answers to this question.

Gwen chose to start from her side, as a Spider-Woman, leading by example, and being on the front line to help others.

Probably, this is a cute stupidity that even if you know that there is likely to be an endless road ahead, you still work hard and persist in moving forward.

And Diana, after seeing enough of the sins and bad roots with Peter, chose a different path.

Use the resources of human society itself to help humanity itself.

In the long run, it's hard to say who is better and who is inferior to these two props, but history has changed.

】

Diana, who is in the normal world, will probably give up this idea because of her disappointment with human beings again and again.

Of course, Diana is only at the stage of just a little direction at this time, and she still needs a long time to think about and summarize.

Fortunately, her life was long enough for her to gradually figure things out over time.

Outside.

On the first day, the newspaper was sold out, and the situation was very smooth, and the new orders from the factories that exchanged and printed were also proceeding in an orderly manner, and things were on the right track at once.

Although due to the quantity, even if the reputation of the newspaper is very good, it can only be called a niche for the time being.

Of course, this problem will be solved with the opening of the printing plant and the printing of newspapers one by one.

Peter didn't continue to update Tony's comics immediately after, but followed the weekly weekly rule.

The rest of the time, he was not idle.

In addition to instructing Diana in the craft of making coffee and settling a house in Gotham, he will also run around the world and brush up on points.

In this era when the speed of information dissemination is relatively lagging behind, even if Baxman is doing chivalrous warfare everywhere, it is impossible for him to suddenly become a household name in a short period of time.

But that's enough, the spread of fame remains like this, and there are all kinds of legends circulating everywhere, and the stories are the best.

It seems that everything is back to a familiar rhythm.
