Chapter 417: Preparation

"Are you still thinking about running that newspaper?" said Gwen on the side.

She now thinks of the newspaper that Jia Yi once mentioned to herself, and she also felt that it had potential at the time, but according to Jia Yi, the content of the so-called newspaper is some market news, rumors, funny jokes and the like, in her feeling, the style is still a little insufficient, and the atmosphere of the college is not very consistent, so she didn't think about it for the first time.

The college created a magazine to improve the style of the college, not just to need an industry.

"What newspaper?" asked the dean on one side.

"It's the kind of publication that this kid envisioned, mainly publishing market news and the like, relying on cheap and real-time news to sell, and not doing professional papers. Gwen explained a few words, but she still felt a little inexplicable, so she said to Jiayi, "It's better for you to explain, tell me what you think." ”

Jia Yi said: "Actually, the professor has already said that the so-called newspaper is mainly a publication that mainly publishes news and commentary on current affairs. We can release it regularly, and there is a lot of new stuff in the wizarding world, but due to the limited distribution channels, many people are not actually clear, and it is mixed with rumors, and ordinary people can't tell the difference between rumors and truth. ”

[Not to mention this time, it is the information age, and all kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky. Jiayi's thoughts flew away for a moment, and then immediately pulled back.

"Although there are various magazines in the mage world, they are all too professional, and they are not timely, and they only publish magical papers, not current affairs, which is still very flawed. Many of the more remote mages don't know what's going on lately. For example, there is news from our Chamber of Commerce that the island of Elmode has begun to explore new shipping routes, and there has been great progress, but few of us here know about it. If there is a newspaper, people can know the latest news information in the newspaper. And in addition to the news, being able to comment on the pros and cons of these things is also a good way to publicize it. ”

Jia Yi explained the concept of the newspaper to the dean of the college, and the dean nodded frequently, but he did not let go, but said: "Although what you said is very reasonable, but the newspaper is popular after all, and it is not very meaningful to the college. ”

He still wants to run a professional magazine, but he still can't look down on newspapers.

Jia Yi felt a little scratching his head, feeling that the dean was still a little preconceived, of course, he himself may not be like this.

"In fact, whether it is a magazine or a newspaper, survival is the most important thing, for a professional magazine, if the content is not rich enough, it is difficult to have readers, and the source of papers is very limited, only relying on the relationship between teachers and students and the dean of the college can not be maintained for a long time. However, newspapers do not have such high requirements for content, and with cheap paper, the cost can be controlled and can be run for a long time. The most we can do is have professional magazines, but we can do well in news newspapers. ”

Jia Yi saw that they were already shaken, and they chased after the victory: "In fact, we can start a newspaper first, accumulate experience and users first, and wait until the newspaper has a certain scale of circulation, we can still continue to publish magazines, and when the time comes, there will be a newspaper diversion, and there will definitely be better development." ”

The dean and Gwen finally agreed with Kaichi's opinion, so that it was not like being convinced, but let Kaichi try it on their own and accumulate some experience.

It was decided to run a newspaper, but it was not Jia Yi who was in charge of this matter, Jia Yi was responsible for technical guidance and held a certain share. After all, the newspaper that will be published is the property of the academy, and it is impossible for Jiayi to stay in the academy all the time, and after graduation, he will definitely go out, and even if he settles in the future, it is likely to be in Moshacher, so Jiayi does not want to have any fixed industry in the academy.

Now the industry in the college is basically only involved in shares, and almost all of the people in charge are other people.

......

After Kaichi returned, he first went to the paper mill.

The paper mill has expanded in size, not only the circle, but also the outer wall of the building has expanded a lot, but the remaining space around it is limited, and it is difficult to continue to expand.

Due to the need to obtain raw materials for paper production, as well as to obtain space, the trees near the paper mill have been cut down.

However, the trees farther away are much better, they haven't been cut down too much, and the paper mill already has plans to replant, and even Gwen is already trying to figure out if she can get some species that can grow quickly.

It was already after class in the afternoon, and March had already arrived at the paper mill, and Kaichi found March and asked, "How is the output of paper now?"

March was patrolling the paper mill, and because he was busy, his hair was a little messy, and he took Jia Yi out to the outside of the factory, and it was very loud because he was hammering fibers inside.

"Now we are producing four specifications of paper, premium paper, excellent paper, ordinary paper, and the kind of newsprint you said, premium paper is the kind of paper that can stop a slight magic power, although the writing effect is better, and there is a faint magic power left, but it still can't be used as magic paper, and it needs elf straw, so now there is only a small amount of production, only to do process exploration.

"Superior grade is not added to the elf straw, the quality is slightly worse, but the performance is still very good, it can be said that the best paper we can mass-produce now is this one. The rest is ordinary paper, wood pulp is added, and the production process is also simplified a lot, although it is not as good as high-grade paper, but it is enough as a commonly used writing paper. Finally, there is newsprint made entirely of wood pulp, which has not been produced too much, and now we produce the most ordinary paper, which has a large output and high quality. ”

Kaichi paused for a moment and asked, "Can you spare some of your production capacity to produce some newsprint?" I have already negotiated with the academy that a newspaper will be distributed within the academy, and it is appropriate to use newsprint. ”

Seeing that this place was so busy, Kayi didn't want to trouble March, but who said that there was only this paper mill now. Although Jiayi and Yangxi equipped the paper mill with some magic power machinery, it still required a lot of manpower to support it, so the paper production efficiency was not high.

March looked at the current paper mill, she felt a little difficult, but did not refute Jiayi, but nodded in agreement: "Okay, I asked Lorrell and them to adjust and produce more newsprint, this kind of paper is still made by the two of them, and I must be happy to see it reused." ”

Jiayi felt a little embarrassed, and he didn't have much dedication to the paper mill, but now he came over to make all kinds of requests.

"Are you planning to build a new paper mill? It's too small now. ”

March said: "There is a plan for this, but it will have to wait until everything is on the right track here, and it will not be built on the side of the academy, and it will be built in Beishui City, where the place is large, and in order to open up rice fields, many trees have been cut down, and the raw materials are also convenient." I've already contacted my family and asked them to send a few reliable housekeepers over to work with the college. I'm not going to take care of it myself, I'm going to learn from you, it's too much energy. ”

At the end of speaking, March wrinkled her nose and glared at Kaichi, as if she was very dissatisfied to see Kaichi idle.

Kaichi took a step back and said, "Don't look at me like that, I'm not idle, I've always had something to do, and I have to teach students." ”

March gave Kaichi a roll of his eyes and gave a "snort" in disdain.

Since the elf rice, Jia Yi has become more calling, and he is more likely to use his hands when he moves his mouth, and he is embarrassed to say that he is busy.

Coming out of the paper mill, Jia took a roll of premium paper and a roll of newsprint back, newsprint was used to experiment with movable type printing, and he was also very interested in the nature of premium paper, and was going to study it to see what it was for.
