Magazines, what are magazines, miscellaneous journals?

Hearing Lin Taiping's explanation, the parliamentarians present looked at each other, not only did they not understand, but they were even more confused, what is the magazine, what is the cover girl,

"Well, it's hard to explain. Lin Taiping touched his chin with a smile, took something from the night singer, and handed it to the curious councilors, "If you don't mind, you can take a look at this, although it is just a scrap that has been knocked down and redone, but the general meaning is about the same." ”

What is this? Looking at what was handed to him, a large group of councillors gathered around in confusion, it was an extremely beautiful book...... Well, no, it's a lot bigger than a regular book, it's a lot thinner, and it's printed entirely with colored ink, and even the paper material is the most expensive coated paper.

But that's not the point, the point is that the cover of this "book" is simply impossible to take your eyes off, and on the pink cover full of temptation, Miss Monica, the most beautiful dancer on Ivory Island, is dressed in silver-white berserker armor, but lazily nestled on the golden throne, and her heroic posture is a little more delicate and charming......

Very good and powerful, at least ten councillors suddenly became short of breath at this moment, Miss Monica, who was already amazingly beautiful, appeared in this unconventional berserker shape, the strange combination of seemingly contradictory contradictions, but it added a bit of beauty to her, and people couldn't take their eyes off just one glance.

"Is this? This is?" Speaker Federer didn't know what he thought, and there was a strange expression on Poker's face, of course, if Miss Monica was here, she would definitely say that I didn't know Speaker, I hadn't seen it the day before yesterday, I hadn't seen it the day before yesterday, and I hadn't seen it the day before yesterday.

"Magazine, the magazine that our evening newspaper has recently planned to publish. Men's outfit. Lin Taiping replied seriously, "How to say, overall, this is an entertaining magazine, specially prepared for male readers." ”

A large group of parliamentarians looked at each other, but they were still full of curiosity as if they had been enchanted, and they opened the magazine with bated breath and looked down carefully page by page.

As Lin Taiping said, the magazine is really entertaining, and just the cover girl and a few pages of illustrations make it impossible to take your eyes off. Pretty dancers from Ivory Island make their debut in a variety of looks, from sailor suits to maid outfits, to welcoming barmaids to adorable bunny girls......

Of course, the cover girl and illustrations are just used to attract attention, and the main content of the whole "Men's Wear" is a variety of illustrated manuscripts. And the content introduced in these manuscripts covers fashion, leisure, entertainment, luxury, art, and culture, even from the title alone, it is enough to arouse the reader's interest.

Evening dress. Gentleman's fashion elements at the forefront of history";

"Not only a means of transportation, but also a review of the ten most popular luxury carriages of the year";

"The Imagination of Color, the Art Technique of Oil Painting by Master Lane";

"This is a beautiful encounter, the flower of Ivory Island. Twenty Charming Dancers for you";

Well, in a word, this magazine literally catches up on the popularity of the moment. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as it is a normal male creature, the moment he picks up this "Men's Clothes", he will definitely not have the intention of putting it down, in fact, there are already councilors secretly thinking, should you take a copy back at night, light the lamp and read it at night to study it carefully?

But as you know, entertainment is always expensive, so when the councillors turned to the last page, they were shocked to find that the price of the magazine was actually -

"A gold coin?" several councillors looked at each other, compared to the evening newspaper that only sold ten copper coins, this "men's clothing" was simply sky-high, and considering the affluence of the Ivory Islands, it is estimated that the number of people who can afford this magazine will not exceed three thousand at most.

Therefore, Speaker Federer, who was still full of expectations, couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Lin, it's a pity that your idea, this would have been a very good magazine, but considering its production time and price, it may not make too much profit." ”

Who said it wasn't, more than a dozen parliamentarians also shook their heads in unison, it would take at least a few weeks to make such a magazine, and the price of a gold coin was really a bit expensive, so considering all aspects, its profit may not be as high as that of the evening newspaper, after all, the circulation of the evening newspaper is very large, and it can take the direction of small profits and quick turnover.

"Evening newspaper?" Lin Taiping touched his chin casually, and suddenly asked without warning, "Mr. Speaker, what do you think is the biggest difference between the evening newspaper and this magazine?"

This question is a bit inexplicable, Speaker Federer couldn't help but be stunned, and more than a dozen parliamentarians looked at each other, the biggest difference between evening newspapers and magazines is the difference in price, or the difference in content, or maybe the difference in the reading group?

"No, it should be said, it's time-sensitive. Lin Taiping threw out a word that was ahead of the times, but immediately explained, "To put it simply, each issue of the evening newspaper only reports what happened in three days, so after three days, this evening newspaper is completely outdated, even if there is a copper coin, no one buys it, but on the contrary, a magazine can ......."

It suddenly dawned on me that more than a dozen parliamentarians were not stupid, and immediately understood the meaning of this passage, and it was indeed the case, compared with the short timeliness of the evening newspaper, the content of the magazine will not be outdated for a long time, which makes the shelf life of the magazine longer, and this means-

"This means that we have enough time to sell the magazine to other islands. Lin Taiping showed eight white teeth and looked at more than a dozen councilors with a smile, "Think about it, there are nearly 100 islands in the Horn Sea, with a total population of more than 30 million, even if only one in 1,000 people are willing to buy magazines......

Needless to say, in an instant, more than a dozen councilors opened their eyes neatly, as if they saw countless gold coins falling from the sky, and the gods were above.

Envy and jealousy, at this moment, thinking that this Mr. Lin can make such a big profit, the parliamentarians present are so envious that their eyes are green, and Speaker Federer's poker face also showed a moving expression for the first time, and he can't even help but think, in this opportunity to make a fortune, is there a chance that he will be able to make a fortune?

"Of course. Actually, even if you don't come today, I'll go to you. Lin Taiping looked at them with a smile, as if he knew what they were thinking, "As far as I know, you gentlemen have trading houses on other islands, and they also have a large fleet of transport ships, so why don't we cooperate?"

Well, even a big piece of gold falling from the sky will not make the parliamentarians so excited, just a few seconds later. Speaker Federer took a few steps forward in disbelief: "Dear Lin, you mean, are you willing to let us take a stake?"

"Why not, there's no end to the money. Lin Taiping smiled even more happily, "Mutual benefit, it's good for everyone, but then again, I've had a little trouble lately, such as the Marquis of Grande who has been complaining about ......."

Let the Marquis of Grande die! Who cares about the resentment and anger of the Marquis of Grande, more than a dozen councilors immediately forgot the purpose of their trip, and instead surrounded Lin Taiping intimately, and began to discuss how to divide the shares. and how to build momentum for this Men's Wear magazine.

"No problem, no problem, you can discuss the specific terms of cooperation with Christine. Lin Taiping struggled to break free from the warm embrace, and then stretched out his hand irresponsibly.

So a few seconds later. Christine, who was still struggling to understand what timeliness was, was immediately surrounded by a large group of councilors, but fortunately, Night Song was there to help in time. With a large group of people, they rushed to the living room outside and went there to discuss the specific cooperation agreement.

The corridor that was originally a little crowded became empty at this time, leaving only Lin Taiping and Federer staring at each other, and the two of them stood in place very strangely, and they didn't even mean to speak.

However, after a moment of silence, Speaker Federer suddenly coughed lightly, and a smile magically appeared on his old-fashioned poker face: "Mr. Lin, in fact, from my personal point of view, I don't like the Marquis of Grande very much......"

A clueless sentence, but Lin Taiping immediately understood, and nodded with a smile on his face: "Yes? That's really a pity, I suddenly remembered that the right to operate magazines on the nearby commercial islands may need a strong agent." ”

Talking to smart people is simple, and Speaker Federer smiled even more happily, so happy that he directly showed two white teeth, a kind expression that had never been seen before, enough to make those who knew him well stunned.

Almost at the same time, a dark elf suddenly rushed over with a hurried look: "Boss, we have a small problem, Miss Monica is shooting an evening dress photoshoot, but the sister in charge of the shooting was suddenly injured, so the shooting can't go any further." ”

Just hearing these words, Speaker Federer suddenly felt his nose hot, and he couldn't help but think about how ...... it must have been How...... Uh, what an artistic picture!

"Really? That's kind of bad. Lin Taiping patted his forehead in distress, "Maybe we should find someone to be a temporary photographer, but it seems that everyone is very busy, unless ......"

Unless, then, Speaker Federer, who was watching, suddenly couldn't help but cough lightly.

"Well, Mr. Speaker, can you do us a favor?" Lin Taiping asked seriously, "I heard that you were engaged in oil painting in your early years and have high attainments in art, and if you are willing to help, we will be grateful." ”

"Well, isn't it good?" Speaker Federer frowned hesitantly, "I still have a lot of things to deal with, and as the Speaker of Ivory Island, ......"

"I beg you, we promise not to say it. Under Lin Taiping's signal, the dark elf immediately put on a pitiful expression, and there was a posture that your old man would be ruined if he didn't agree.

What can he say? In the face of such a sincere request, Speaker Federer shook his head slightly, and after hesitating for a long, long time, he finally sighed helplessly.

"Well, since you said that, then I can only reluctantly make it difficult...... Alas, I have sacrificed too much for the sake of art!" (To be continued......)
