Chapter 64: The Evening News is Fierce

For anyone on Ivory Island, if you haven't read the Ivory Evening this month, you can only prove two things - either you are illiterate, or you are outdated, completely outdated.

In less than a month, this strange newspaper that was published every three days quickly swept the whole Ivory Island with the terrifying speed of a spark, and like the spring rain, it changed everyone's lives unconsciously.

In the bustling tavern, the guests drinking beer each have an evening newspaper, and the news talk becomes their best appetizer, and occasionally a few guys who have drunk too much will fight for a red face or even a big fight because of a disagreement of opinion;

At the lavish banquet, the topic of the nobles' greetings was no longer the purchase of a famous horse or a few slave girls, but what was the headline on the front page of today's evening newspaper, and their enthusiastic discussion and in-depth analysis were spitting and passionate, as if they could not prove their knowledge without doing so, as if they could not attract the attention of the ladies and ladies without doing so;

In the business gathering, businessmen exchange business information from the evening newspaper with each other, as the basis for their next investment, although not always accurate profits, but there will always be people who stand up proudly, claiming how keen their eyes are to capture business opportunities, just by virtue of an inconspicuous news, they have obtained incredible benefits;

In the end, even in the daily meetings of the Supreme Council, when those members stood up to speak, they always had to bring out a certain news item in the evening newspaper as evidence of the correctness of their views, although sometimes two guys who criticized each other came up with the same news report......

In this way, under such an irresistible trend, the ivory evening newspaper, which had been in circulation for less than a month, soon showed an alarming growth trend, and the sales volume alone jumped by leaps and bounds.

The total sales of the first issue of the evening newspaper were only 2,000 copies, and the second issue quadrupled on this basis, and by the time the third issue was officially released, the number of pre-ordered copies alone reached 8,000 copies, and this was because the bull-headed people really couldn't print it, otherwise the sales would have increased at least several times.

The shape shì is not good, but a great good, even better than originally expected, but Lin Taiping was not satisfied, but in response to several problems in the previous issues of the evening newspaper, he re-made a revision in the sixth issue.

After the revision, the Ivory Evening News was officially divided into four pages, the first page was dedicated to heavy news events, the second page reported all kinds of social news, the third page collected and published public and commercial information, and finally the fourth page, which was also the most eye-catching page, was the concentration of gossip and lace news.

In this way, the Ivory Evening News, which was originally a little confused, immediately met the needs of all social classes, and every citizen of Ivory Island, whether it was nobles, merchants, or commoners, could find the content they were interested in in the newspaper, which made the influence of the evening newspaper higher and higher, and also made the circulation rise amazingly again.

However, not everyone will be happy about this, at least the bullheads in charge of printing are already so tired that they are about to cramp, and the printing work from day to night has made them all develop a habit now, as long as they see white paper, they want to print something on it, so that when they ate white bread slices yesterday, Tulu subconsciously took out an ink brush to brush the cream.

But what can be done, movable type printing is the premise guarantee of monopolizing the newspaper, so Lin Taiping didn't dare to recruit outside workers at all, so he could only ruthlessly let the minotaurs insist on persevering, he felt for the first time that there were still too few dark creatures under his hands, maybe he should find a way to go where to turn a large group back.

In fact, it's not just the minotaurs who complain about the hard work, the reporters of the dark elves also work very hard, Ivory Island has a population of more than 500,000 people on more than a dozen islands, just relying on their group of dark elves running around, they are so tired that they are about to vomit blood.

What, in the tearful words of Night Song, is "Woo woo, yesterday I ran six places against the sun, and the trips add up to a circle around Ivory Island...... There is no reason, there is no reason, the scorching sun will damage my delicate skin!"

"Ahem, sun exposure is good for calcium supplementation. Lin Taiping replied seriously, and then before Ye Ge pulled out his mace, he immediately made a very interesting decision, "It's decided, let's recruit a group of thieves to be external reporters, at least there is no monopoly technology in this area." ”

As soon as he said and did it, Lin Taiping immediately went to the thieves' guild to sign the contract, and by the way, he dug up the corner of the Marquis of Grande, and dug up all the best thieves in the guild, even the president.

Of course, before they officially work, these thieves also have to undergo strict training, and Lin Taiping, as the director of the Ivory Evening News, took the initiative to personally go out and give these guys a full three-day journalism training course.

In my opinion, the so-called news is to be able to attract attention, and it is not news for a dog to bite a man, and it is not news for a dog to bite a dog, and it is not news for a person to bite a dog. ”

"Bankers, murders, peachy scandals, these are the topics that the public is most concerned about, what parliamentary speech do you go to interview, which fool will come to watch? Attention, you must pay attention, our loyal readers are those who have nothing to do every day, and we will post whatever they care about most and what they like, and the so-called reader is God. ”

"What? You say you can't find good news? Just kidding, Ivory Island is so big, with a population of more than 500,000 people, how many strange things happen every day, even if you really can't find news, don't you know how to make it up, what are you afraid of, even if it is outrageous, you just need to write in the report that according to the insider, you don't have to be responsible. ”

"You know? In my hometown, there is a tabloid called The Sun, and its content is gossip, scandal and three pages of girls, and it is scolded tens of thousands of times a day, but it is always the number one in sales, do you know what that means?"

In this way, after being brainwashed for three days, the thieves who were originally just applying for jobs for a good salary have all become loyal admirers of Lin Taiping...... In the end, under the gaze of dozens of pairs of adoring eyes, Lin Taiping waved his big hand in high spirits: "Everyone, remember that in the history of Contessence's journalism, your glorious name will definitely be left behind, let's go!"

In this way, a large number of thieves with green eyes rushed out with a roar, they broke the gossip enthusiasm of the sand pot with terrible endurance and super professionalism, and haunted every corner of Ivory Island, everywhere was their battlefield, everywhere they were figures, one was not afraid of thunder, two were not afraid of death, and three were not afraid of dogs chasing.

"Uh, boss, what the hell did you say to them?" Christine had just come back from buying a large box of milk powder when she suddenly saw a large group of thieves rushing out as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

"Nothing, I just teach them how to be a successful paparazzi. Lin Taiping replied with his arms crossed, thought about it and added with a smile, "By the way, I tell them that if anyone can get the negative news of the Marquis of Grande, I am willing to pay a gold coin for every hundred words." ”

A hundred words, there is a gold coin? not a copper coin or a silver coin, but a shiny gold coin?

In an instant, Christine had the urge to drop the milk powder and apply directly to change careers to become a reporter, she turned her head stupidly, looked at the direction where the thieves disappeared, and suddenly couldn't help but shudder-

"Ah, I bet that hypocritical guy is going to be in bad luck!"
