Chapter 63 The title must be popular
Putting aside the anxiety of the Marquis of Grande, the evening newspaper of Ivory Island in the sunset is still mired in the troubles of happiness, and even a little too happy.
The 2,000 copies of the evening newspaper, which had been painstakingly printed over the past few days, were sold out in just a few hours, but the crowd gathered in front of the evening newspaper office did not decrease, but under the influence of word of mouth, more and more people flocked to buy them, and even the one that Tulu used to wrap the roast leg of lamb was sold at twice the price.
"Sold out, I repeat, all sold out. Tulu was squeezed by a large crowd of people, and his face was full of anger, "Lin said, if you still plan to buy newspapers, you can book tomorrow's ...... You're moo, who's touching my pectoralis major muscle, the pectoralis major muscle of the minotaur is very sacred, do you understand?"
Well, poor Tulu is still being taken advantage of, but on the contrary, the back hall of the evening newspaper office is very quiet at the moment, Lin Taiping is sitting lazily on the chair, holding a cup of steaming coffee, but touching his lips with a smile, as if waiting for something.
"Damn it, you've won!" Christine stared at him viciously, finally sighed as if admitting defeat, wrenched his head hard, and kissed him lightly on the right cheek.
With a snap, after the sweet kiss, this heroic royal sister beauty couldn't help but blush and her eyes flashed: "Okay, I've kissed it, now you should tell me, how did this evening newspaper come about." β
"Hey, hey, why are you just kissing your face?" Lin Taiping couldn't help but protest, but when he saw that Christine was about to run away in shame, he immediately changed the topic very interestingly, "Okay, it's actually very simple, I taught Tulu a little bit of everything, mainly how to typeset and print, fortunately, they learned quickly." β
Nonsense! Christine couldn't help but roll her eyes, of course she knew that the entire printing work was handled by the Minotaur, but now it was puzzling that an evening newspaper had four pages and 10,000 words, which was a very laborious job, and how Turu had managed to do it in a few days.
"It's very simple, I just changed the original engraving printing to a more advanced movable type printing. Lin Taiping explained lightly, "Let's put it this way, Contans's original printing technique was to engrave the entire text on a single wooden board, which was laborious and time-consuming, and I have now made each text into a single one...... Hmm, do you understand what I say?"
Hell, if you can understand, Christine shook her head stupidly, what engraving printing and movable type printing seemed to her to be like listening to the sky, but the only thing that was certain was that this new printing technique seemed to be very convenient.
"It's okay, with your IQ, it's good to be able to understand this kind of Cheng dΓΉ. Lin Taiping looked at her with sympathy on his face, "The only problem is, even if movable type printing is used, the printing work is still very hard, don't you see that Tulu and they have been complaining all the time?"
This is true, Christine couldn't help but sigh, thinking back to the misery of the minotaurs, no wonder their eyes were red every day, no wonder their hooves were about to evolve into chicken paws, although I don't understand how the specific printing worked, but just look at Tulu's expression of wanting to hit his head to death, you can know how painful it is.
However, it is really strange why I have never heard of movable type printing before, and it is even more incredible that Lin would think of using this printing technology to make a newspaper...... I had never seen this thing before today, but Lin seemed familiar, as if he had done it before.
"I haven't done it, but I've seen it so many times that I'm almost throwing up. Lin Taiping replied seriously, he really didn't talk nonsense this time, you must know that he grew up in the newspaper office building since he was a child, whether it is typesetting and collecting news or distributing and publishing, he is very familiar with everything.
And after coming to Contens, after discovering that there is no newspaper in this world, he immediately realized that if he published a newspaper here, it might bring a lot of unexpected gains.
In fact, it is also true that the newly launched Ivory Evening News has become so popular that everyone wants to know about big events at the first time, everyone wants to satisfy their inner gossip curiosity, and it is precisely because people have such a demand that the Ivory Evening News will be sold on the first day in short supply, and will bring huge economic benefits in the future.
More importantly, for a world where information is disseminated very slowly, mastering the monopoly resource of newspapers means mastering the right to speak in the media, especially for people who have not experienced media bombardment, the opinions expressed in what the newspapers say are often easy for them to accept and believe.
Take the unlucky Marquis Grande as an example, he has accumulated a good reputation in the past ten years, but after today's negative news comes out, I believe that many people who see this news will have doubts about the character of the Marquis, which will affect the voting in the parliamentary election two months later.
Although this is just a suspicion, and not everyone believes it, you can think that if the newspapers reported it every day, and accumulated over a long period of time, even the most die-hard admirers would hesitate to waver...... As the saying goes, three people become tigers, whoever controls the media has the right to speak, and it is no wonder that the reporter will be called the uncrowned king.
"That guy, since he likes to play a righteous gentleman very much, then he must be prepared to be bombed. Lin Taiping said this, and took a sip of coffee leisurely, "That's right, I can't catch the evidence of his plot to seize the family property, but this doesn't mean that I can't catch other stains, embezzlement donations, life corruption, black-hearted business, spitting across the road, exposing if there is a stain, creating a stain if there is no stain, I can find hundreds of them casually." β
Christine couldn't help but shudder, she suddenly felt that she was beginning to sympathize with that hypocritical uncle, just like the picture of a dancer in the newspaper today, which was simply impossible to justify...... Well, speaking of which, how did that picture get on the paper?
"Quite simply, it's called imaging. Lin Taiping picked up a crystal ball lightly, "When I was in Rhode Island, I ordered more than a dozen imaging crystals, which are magic props that can shoot pictures and project the images onto paper, and then I make the paper into engravings...... Well, I bet you don't understand. β
Yes, Christine's eyes continued to look stupid, but she really admired the photographer, who was able to patiently stand at the door of the Earl's Court until the dancer appeared, and seized the moment to prepare the scene for filming.
"It's a work of Night Song. Lin Taiping touched his chin with a smile, "As I said before, running a newspaper requires the cooperation of the Minotaur and the Dark Elves, the Minotaur is responsible for typesetting, printing and distribution, and the Dark Elves led by Yege are the first batch of reporters of our evening newspaper. β
That's right, since the first day he met the Dark Elf Clan, Lin Taiping has been thinking, what are the specialties of these dark creatures who like to sneak in the shadows, in addition to being good at assassinating the black hand and giving birth to children?
This question bothered him for a long time, until one day, when he inadvertently looked back and found that the silly girl of Yege was holding a mace, sneakily preparing to pour aphrodisiacs into the teacup, an inspiration suddenly came to him-
Well, since this silly girl is able to slip through the tight defenses of the Minotaur and sneak into her room to administer aphrodisiacs, it means that she can also appear like a ghost in a nobleman's bedroom, under the table in the house, in the corner of the warehouse, in the warehouse of the port......
What is professionalism, this is called professionalism!
Compared with the dark elves who are good at sneaking tracking and probing, the paparazzi of those gossip magazines are simply vulnerable, it is no exaggeration to say that as long as the dark elves are willing to dispatch, there are no secrets for any aristocratic businessmen, where there are dark elves, there is gossip, where there are dark elves, there is news, this race is simply born for newspapers.
"Uh, that's okay?" Christine's eyes were full of adoration for the little star, and she suddenly felt that she should cut open the boss's head to see what was in it, and she could even think of such a thing.
"So, I gave them projection crystals, even though they were expensive. Lin Taiping put down the coffee cup and looked out of the door with a smile on his face, "Maybe at this time, Yege is hiding in a corner with the dark elves, clicking ......."
Before the words fell, the door was kicked open heavily, and Ye Ge held the projection crystal and rushed in with a proud face: "Lin, guess what, what I photographed, tomorrow's lace news has fallen!"
Very good and powerful, a few minutes later, after Christine saw the picture in the crystal ball, she immediately fell to the ground in awe: "Is this okay? Night Song, how did you shoot it?"
"It's simple, I've been following that guy from last night until now. Yege triumphantly hugged the crystal ball, looking like she had a sense of accomplishment in her work, "Listen, I've already prepared a title for this news, it's called "The Marquis of Grande angrily reprimanded the only son for being unfilial, and no heir to the family has since fallen" ......"
Do you want to be so ruthless? Christine suddenly felt chills all over her body, but at this time, Lin Taiping sighed lazily: "Unattractive, Night Song, I have to say, the level of your title is too poor." β
"Really?" Ye Ge protested dissatisfied, holding the crystal ball, "Lin, so according to what you mean, how do you choose this title to be attractive?"
"Simple!" Lin Taiping didn't even have to think about it, he wrote a line of words directly on the paper, and then pushed forward proudly.
So fast?Christine and Nightsong looked at each other, stretched their necks neatly, and then a few seconds later, the two of them were dumbfounded againβ
"Shocking! The sixty-year-old marquis fought with his only son on the street, suspected of being jealous of a woman?"
In an instant, Christine and Yege spurted blood in unison, and the kind of eyes that looked at Lin Taiping were simply intertwined with shock, admiration, and contempt, and they were so complicated that they couldn't be described in words.
A long, long time later, in this eerie silence, Night Song finally licked Sakura's lips tremblingly, and involuntarily gave a thumbs up-
"My dear, I swear to the god of darkness that you are the darkest and most sinister creature I have ever seen...... I like it, though!"
