Chapter 24: The Second Prince

Regarding the question of the new profit and loss, as long as you are interested, you can basically guess it.

The first issue of the new newspaper is a loss of five cents a piece, plus dozens of taels sent out by lottery, as well as labor costs, all of which add up, let alone more than a hundred taels.

This is already a lot of money, and it is only one issue.

Do you have to do more?

As I said before, the inner library only provides the starting capital of the new newspaper, and when the money is used up, without the support of the inner library, how far can the new newspaper go if it continues to lose money?

However, even if the problem seems so serious, the sales of the new newspaper are hot, and countless people are looking forward to the second issue, but it is an ironclad fact.

In the Second Prince's Mansion, Li Chengze was in the throat of this matter.

Not long ago, he was quietly glad that Li Chengqian had a dark disease, but he didn't expect that it had only been a long time before such a big move occurred.

Leaving aside the issue of profit and loss, judging from the sales of the first issue of Xinbao, once Xinbao continues to develop smoothly, its influence on the private sector will be immeasurable.

The prince of a country has such a sharp weapon, how terrible is it?

Since he has the ambition to be the crown prince, it is naturally impossible for him to watch Li Chengqian's new newspaper develop so smoothly.

Moreover, he believed that since his younger brother the prince dared to run this new newspaper, and only asked the inner treasury for the starting money, there would inevitably be a solution to the so-called profit and loss problem.

Therefore, waiting for Xinbao to collapse on its own is almost no less than a fantasy.

Looking at the silent strategists under his command, he asked coldly: "Within three days, I want this new newspaper to disappear, can you teach me?" ”

All the strategists, you look at me, I look at you, and they look at each other.

Just as Li Chengqian's recruitment hall can't recruit any great talents, being able to be a strategist under Li Chengze, a prince, is just a joke if he wants to say that he is full of wisdom.

Such a character bows down to a prince, what does he want?

However, the reason why Li Chengze recruited so many doormen and strategists was that he didn't think that there would be any great talents among them, but it was just that two people were short and three people were long, and many people had multiple ideas.

However, looking at the silent posture of several people at the moment, the oblique bangs on his forehead were really a little tense.

"It's dumb, talk!"

At this moment, his voice was a little irritable, and the expression on his face was a little calm.

Even waste has value, and if these values are not reflected, why should he keep these people for nothing?

Seeing that Li Chengze seemed to be really angry, several people were panicked, and after a while, one person stepped forward slightly and said, "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, the grass people think that they may be able to buy the manpower in the newspaper hall and disintegrate it from the inside. ”

Hearing this, Li Chengze was expressionless.

It's not that this method is impossible, but the effectiveness is too low.

Regarding the Fuyao newspaper, he is not without thoughts.

It's just that there are no core people among the personnel, most of them are newcomers who have just entered the recruitment hall and have been trained simply, and most of the things they do are basic trivialities, even if he reverses these people.

The newspaper will not be paralyzed either.

The East Palace can be replaced by a large number of people at any time.

The only one who can be called the core,Probably only Izumo who is in charge of the top and bottom matters of the new newspaper.。

But Izumo is a female official next to the prince, and he grew up with the prince since he was a child, so why did he oppose it?

Of course, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who wrote what the young Qingguo said and the mysterious writer who wrote about Zhu Xian are also the core, but the former he doesn't have the ability to move, and the latter seems to be in the East Palace, and his hand can't stretch out that long.

The most important thing is that once he uses such low-level means to deal with the prince, it is very likely that he will directly tear his face with the prince, and Emperor Qing is afraid that he will also dislike him.

The reason why he dares to compete with the crown prince now is because of the acquiescence and support of Emperor Qing.

So he would never take such a risk and do something stupid that doesn't make much sense.

Seeing that Li Chengze was silent, the strategist had no choice but to retreat.

On the side, another strategist said confidently: "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, the new newspaper has now opened up the situation, the prince can establish the Fuyao newspaper hall, and you can also follow suit and establish another newspaper office, as long as Xiao Gui Cao follows, it may not be impossible to compete with one of them." ”

Hearing this, Li Chengze was a little moved.

However, he quickly dispelled this idea.

It is not difficult for Xinbao to be counterfeited, but where did he find a talent who can write such an article as that of a young man Qingguo?

I'm afraid that the entire Qingguo can't find one.

Perhaps only Zhuang Mohan, a literary master of the Northern Qi Dynasty, can write an article comparable to it.

But in the same sentence, why did the literary masters of Northern Qi in the world work for the second prince of Nanqing?

To be honest, he still can't believe that Li Chengqian could write such an article.

It was that Zhu Xian, he felt that he could go to the Red Mansion, which even he had heard of recently, to fight.

He felt that with the literary brilliance in the Red Mansion, it would be difficult to match the immortals.

However, the Red Mansion seems to have come from Fan's Mansion.

Fan Jian, the household servant, has always been neutral, and he only stands with Emperor Qing, and he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to get past Fan Jian and let the person who wrote the Red Mansion work for him.

In particular, he recently heard that Fan Sizhe, the sister-in-law of the Fan Mansion, had joined the Prince's Recruitment Pavilion.

It's hard not to think about it.

Fan Mansion, has he secretly fallen to the crown prince?

Of course, it is not impossible to start a new newspaper and half a newspaper, but that must be something that will be considered only after the smooth development of the new newspaper run by Li Chengqian.

If he really can't stop the momentum of Xinbao, even if the newspaper he runs can't compete with Xinbao, at least he can't let Xinbao dominate.

However, Li Chengqian's new newspaper was approved by Emperor Qing himself, and if he wanted to set up another newspaper, he would also be unable to bypass Emperor Qing.

He shook his head and set his gaze on the calmest-looking middle-aged man among the strategists.

Although he is a group of guest strategists, he is the best of the inferior, and the person who comes in to join is the most prominent.

"Yang Lin, what do you think?"

As soon as his words fell, the hearts of the guests couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

Of course, it is not the second prince Li Chengze who is jealous, but the middle-aged man he calls Yang Lin.

There has always been no distinction between them and their strategists, but recently, after this Yang Lin joined, there was a faint tendency to surpass them.

One after another, the gaze fell on Yang Lin either plainly or vaguely, and there were ridicules and disbelief.

They don't believe it, what can you Yang Lin do to be superior!

Under the gaze of everyone, Yang Lin took a step forward and said indifferently: "The grass people think that the second prince should not think about how to deal with Xinbao. ”

As soon as these words came out, it was tantamount to directly rejecting Li Chengze's idea.

Li Chengze's eyes were slightly condensed, but he still smiled and said, "What is your opinion, sir?" ”
